Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management and automation, is strengthening its collaboration with Microsoft to help industrial enterprises modernize operations, move beyond proprietary legacy systems, and accelerate the deployment of AI-powered automation at scale. At the core of this collaboration is a shared belief that industrial automation is ready for the same open, software-led transformation that once redefined enterprise IT. Despite rapid advances in digital technology, many factories and energy facilities still rely on hardware-dependent control systems that are costly to upgrade, slow to evolve, and difficult to integrate with Industrial AI. Through this partnership, Schneider Electric is…

EV Demand across Asia is gaining momentum as rising global fuel prices encourage consumers and fleet operators to shift towards more predictable electric mobility solutions. The recent increase in oil prices driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East has renewed focus on the long-term economics of vehicle ownership. For many buyers, the decision is becoming increasingly straightforward: while petrol and diesel costs continue to fluctuate, electric vehicles offer lower running expenses and reduced maintenance costs. As a result, EV Demand is emerging as a direct response to fuel price volatility. Industry observers note that the impact is especially visible…

FLIR, a Teledyne Technologies company, has introduced a limited-time regional promotion for its Si2-Series acoustic imaging cameras, running through June 30, 2026. As demand for energy efficiency and grid reliability continues to grow across Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, and India, the campaign is designed to help industrial and utility operators identify critical leaks and mechanical faults early, before they develop into expensive downtime and operational disruptions. The Si2‑Series combines 124 MEMS microphones with advanced AI processing to locate pressurized leaks and electrical discharge at distances of up to 200 meters. The Si2‑LD and Si2x‑LD models are engineered…
As India’s solar manufacturing ecosystem rapidly evolves amid a strong policy push for domestic value creation, companies are increasingly moving towards deeper backward integration to strengthen competitiveness and reduce import dependence.

NTPC Group has marked another major milestone in India’s power and storage ecosystem after subsidiary THDC India Limited declared the commercial operation date (COD) of the fourth 250 MW unit of the Tehri Pumped Storage Project (PSP). The unit became commercially operational from 00:00 hrs on April 12, 2026, according to NTPC’s official exchange filing. With the commissioning of this final unit, the full 1,000 MW Tehri PSP (4×250 MW) is now operational. This has taken NTPC Group’s total installed capacity to 89,378 MW, while the company’s commercial capacity now stands at 88,298 MW.

Delhi’s proposed EV roadmap is generating major buzz among commuters, bike buyers, manufacturers, and the wider mobility industry. Under the Delhi EV draft policy 2026-2030, the government has proposed that new petrol-powered two-wheelers may no longer be eligible for registration from April 2028, meaning only electric bikes and scooters would qualify for fresh registrations if the proposal is approved in its current form. The move is being seen as one of the boldest clean-mobility proposals in the capital so far. With two-wheelers accounting for a large share of Delhi’s total vehicle population, the draft policy aims to reduce vehicular pollution,…
In complex industrial energy and utility ecosystems, execution excellence is rarely defined at the construction stage. It is shaped much earlier in how seriously organizations approach planning, risk structuring, and front-end decision-making. Drawing from large-scale industrial infrastructure environments, Mr. Santhiraj Sathanna, Consultant – Project Engineering, Nippon Koei India Private Ltd highlights a defining shift in execution philosophy: Mr. Santhiraj Sathanna states, “Beyond hybrid project management and textbook risk controls, Gulf execution runs on a different engine altogether. It’s not cautious—it’s calculated, front-loaded, and ruthlessly disciplined.” The Discipline That Shapes Execution At the core of successful mega-project delivery lies front-end discipline…
As India’s EV ecosystem moves towards a phase where technology depth matters as much as speed to market, Samarth E-Mobility is building its future around ownership of the complete technology stack. Over the last three years, the company has developed a fully indigenously owned full-stack platform within its own R&D Facility, covering the battery pack, battery management system (BMS), motor controller, power electronics, onboard charger, instrument cluster, and even its own operating system, with a clear focus on integration rather than assembly. As Mr. Priyank Rakholiya, Co-Founder, Samarth E-Mobility Pvt. Ltd. points out, “Integration provides us with the opportunity to…
India’s solar story is no longer just about ambition, it’s about execution at scale. As the country accelerates towards its clean energy goals, solar power is emerging as a central pillar. But beneath this rapid growth lies a more complex narrative shaped by infrastructure realities, technological evolution, and the need for long-term thinking. For Mr. Ramanathan Kalyanasundaram, Director of Solstrom Energy Solutions Pvt. Ltd., this evolution is both visible and inevitable. Driving Forces Behind India’s Solar Momentum Solar adoption in India is being powered by a convergence of factors rather than a single catalyst. Strong policy backing, including rooftop solar…
