With the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) recently floating a tender for the allocation of 2-GW solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity across the country, we expect new orders anytime soon. At present, our focus is more on consolidating our strengths and building on our diversified portfolio rather than coming up with something new.

The Director General of Safeguards (DGS) has proposed a provisional duty of 70 per cent for a period of 200 days on solar cells and modules and has issued its recommendations in a preliminary report.

The Indian power sector is one of the most widespread in the world. Power is one of the most crucial components of infrastructure. It is vital for economic growth.

One of the essential components of a thermal or nuclear power plant is the cooling tower. Even in the modern age of renewable energy, solar thermal power plant requires a cooling tower application, though not in the same size and shape as that of a thermal or nuclear power station.

The international electro technical commission standard IEC 60034-30-1: 2014 'Rotating electrical machines - part 30-1 : efficiency classes of line operated AC motors' has globally harmonised the energy efficiency classes of all electric motors that are rated for line operation this includes all single and three phase motors between 0.12-1000 kW.

Globally, Electrical Motors Driven Systems (EMDS) use around 70 per cent of the electricity consumed by industry. Since the industry accounts for around 40 per cent of electricity demand in India, it follows that motors use around 28 per cent of total electricity, making it larger user than lighting at 24 per cent.

The wires & cables segment has come into its own in India, and with plans for huge infrastructure projects in place and an expected positive outlook on GST, the future looks bright.

While we always say that the Indian market is price sensitive, at the same time it is also a big volume market. The Indian Prime Minister¦s initiative v Make In India v is helping multinational corporations (MNCs) like us to plan for local manufacturing and bring the cost of products down.

Formulating policies is only the first step, the success of smart grids depends on the time-bound implementation of projects. Technology enabled systems and solutions have become the driving force for electricity segment in the last few year.
