Grand Souk by Talenmark Presents Opportunity for Local Brands to Go International Monday 03 October 2022 03:30 AM UTC+00 Business Wire India Embodying the spirit of Prime Minister's localization vision 'Vocal for Local' and 'Local for Global' to fulfill the dream of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat or self-reliant India, Talenmark unveils India's biggest and first of its kind souk at the nation's biggest cultural centre within Markaz Knowledge City, at Kaithapoyil on Calicut-Wayanad National Highway. The souk is modeled on the Arabic souks of yore. Built in Arabic marketplace architecture style, it comprises of a labyrinth of 150 shops assigned for more than 50 categories of trade, giving visitors a glimpse into different cultures. With commercial space spread across 1,23,000 sq.ft in a single trade floor, it has a commercial corridor of 710 metres. Once operational, the souk anticipates a daily footfall of 10,000 people. Souk, with its distinct circular architecture, is a market that is the cradle of traditional urban culture popular in Arab societies. Unlike shopping malls that cater to middle and upper middle classes, the souk, with international and local businesses, is open and multifunctional in character, which makes it endearing to people from all walks of life. The souk at Markaz Knowledge City draws inspiration from history where the Malabar Coast had business ties with seafarers from the Arab world and developed a system of interlinked trading networks. The construction of the souk and the cultural center has been carried out by Talenmark Developers, pioneers in building iconic structures. The company is steered by the trio Habeeburahman, Hibathulla, and Muhammed Shakeel. A Launchpad for local and national products The souk, with its steady stream of local, national and international visitors, would aid the country's farmers, artisans, weavers, engineers, small entrepreneurs and MSMEs who struggle to reach new markets in every nook and corner of the world. Besides, it plays a vital role in the development of the region as a commercial center of trade. Local artisans and craftsmen would widely benefit from these bustling spaces. It also gives visitors an opportunity to connect themselves to the deep rooted culture that existed. It is also expected to throw a lifeline to the small and marginal domestic industries which are struggling to survive in the wake of the pandemic. Replete with authentic street food, artisan handicrafts, fine collectibles, unique gifts, fine art and sculptures, spices, herbs, dried fruits, candied nuts, locally blended teas, perfumes, essential oils, incense sticks, jewelry, fabrics, furnishings, souvenirs and many others that showcase local craftsmanship and Indian heritage, the vibrating trade floor and passageways of the souk are expected to brim with the hustle of tradesmen and artists. The Cultural Centre The souk is built as a part of the Cultural Centre, an amalgam of business, art, culture, shopping, and entertainment within Markaz Knowledge City at Kaithapoyil in Calicut. Besides the souk, the cultural centre has elements that allow one to leaf through the civilization such as spiritual enclave, research and development centre, international heritage museum, world library, International event centre etc. It houses a rooftop garden with more than 100 trees. The project merits a place on the world tourism map for all its salient aesthetic features resembling a Mughal monument and for its proximity to Wayanad, one of India's finest hill stations.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Keysight Extends Memorandum of Understanding with IIT Madras to Enable Testing Beyond 5G into 6G Research Tuesday 04 October 2022 07:33 AM UTC+00 Business Wire India Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology company that delivers advanced design and validation solutions to help accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced it has signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM) that extends the relationship beyond 5G design and test into 6G research. In August 2020, Keysight signed an MoU with IITM to support Telecom Standards Development Society, India (TSDSI) in the development of India-specific 5G standards to encourage Indian startups and the telecom industry to take an early lead in 5G. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) funded the large-scale project called '5G Testbed' with the goal to build a test bed that closely resembles a real-world 5G deployment using equipment developed by Keysight. As 5G is getting ready for rollout, 6G is emerging as the new wireless technology with more unique capabilities and use cases coverage. The new MoU extends the existing engagement to enable Keysight and IITM to continue working together in areas of mutual interest devoted to technical development and India's plan to launch 6G services in the country by 2030. "India has already paved the way for rapid expansion of technology in manufacturing, infrastructure, education, agriculture, and healthcare with the successful multi-band 5G auctions and is now positioned to be one of the top global markets for 5G," said Sudhir Tangri, VP and Country General Manager of Keysight India. "As a founding member of the 6G Flagship Program, we are pleased to extend our current 5G partnership with IITM into new groundbreaking 6G research to contribute to India's forward-looking 6G plans." "IIT Madras has been working on various 5G technologies and demonstrated indigenous end-to-end 5G system partnering with other institutions. Keysight test equipment has been instrumental to the development of the system and Keysight has provided invaluable support in solving some of the technical problems," said Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Professor at IIT Madras. "With the advent of 6G, IIT Madras plans to take the next steps in strengthening its collaboration with Keysight. This MoU provides a framework for working together on the next-generation beyond-5G and 6G technologies. IITM looks forward to a fruitful collaboration with Keysight." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hindustan Zinc Records Quarter II Volume Increase Y-o-Y, Metal up by 18 Percent and Silver Production up by 28 Percent Tuesday 04 October 2022 08:44 AM UTC+00 Business Wire India Hindustan Zinc Limited today announced its production numbers for the second quarter and half year ended September 30, 2022.
2QFY23 Highest-ever second quarter mined metal production at 255kt, up 3% YoY, driven by better grades and improved mill recoveries. Sequential growth of 1% was largely on account of better grades. Refined metal production at 246kt, an increase of 18% YoY with improved smelter performance, better mined metal availability and base impact due to extended maintenance shutdown in the same period last year. However, refined metal was lower by 6% QoQ because of lower roaster availability due to breakdown of an acid storage tank at Chanderiya plant in 2QFY23 and time taken in ramp up of production post maintenance. Integrated zinc production was at 189kt, up 16% YoY and down 8% QoQ. Refined lead production was 57kt up 21% YoY and 5% QoQ. Saleable silver production was 6.2 moz, up 28% YoY and 10% QoQ in line with lead metal production and WIP liquidation. 1HFY23 First half mined metal production at 507kt was 8% higher YoY, on account of increase in ore production, further supported by better grades & improved operational efficiency. First half refined metal production at 506kt, was up 13% YoY, resulting from consistent mined metal flow from mines and better plant availability partly offset by acid storage tank breakdown at Chanderiya plant in 2QFY23. 1HFY23 integrated zinc production was at 395kt, up 13% YoY and refined lead production was at 110kt, up 16% YoY. Saleable silver production was 11.9 moz, up 19% YoY in-line with lead metal production.
Wind power generation for 2QFY23 was 124 MU, down 20% YoY & down 17% QoQ, owing to lower wind velocity & seasonality impact. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
India and Wallonia, Belgium Celebrate 75 Years of Diplomatic Relations, Expand Trade Partnerships in Renewable Energy Tuesday 04 October 2022 11:00 AM UTC+00 Business Wire India A trade mission of companies in the field of renewable energy from the Belgian industrial region of Wallonia announced future expansion of partnerships with its Indian counterparts. India and Belgium are engaged in a dialogue on renewable energy through a Joint Working Group co-chaired by the Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). This year, India and Belgium are set to renew their memorandum of understanding in the field of renewable energy for another 5 years. A delegation of the Walloon (originating from Wallonia) business cluster TWEED took part in a week-long trade mission to meet their Indian counterparts and discussed market opportunities, knowledge transfer and technological partnerships. The Walloon business cluster TWEED congregates more than two hundred stakeholders (from MNCs to SMEs, through universities and R&D centers), with the aim of fostering high quality and industrial-size projects in the fields of the production of sustainable energy. Between 26th of September and 30th of September, the Trade Commissions of Wallonia in India programmed B2B meetings, brokerage and networking events. The delegation started the two-day program in Mumbai dedicated to meeting prospective Indian companies and large power generation groups such as Reliance or Tata, and then took part in the Renewable Energy India (REI) Expo in Delhi NCR. Belgium was one of the first European countries to establish diplomatic relations with India in September 1947, just a month after India gained independence. In 2022, Belgium and India celebrate 75 years of diplomatic relations. During their last meeting, the two countries decided to foster collaboration in three main sectors: hydrogen, wind and energy storage. In these, Belgium has mature and disruptive projects and worldwide leaders implementing top-notch technologies, whereas India has rolled out important policies and reforms to sustain the growth of the renewable energy sector. Both countries also support the adoption of other clean technologies. In Wallonia, Belgium's French-speaking southern region, the government supports numerous circular economy projects (e.g. with infrastructure In these niches, India and Wallonia have already witnessed fruitful collaborations. For example, John Cockerill (world leader in the production of alkaline electrolysers with more than a third of the global market) announced a JV in India to co-invest in an electrolyser plant. Conversely, an important Indian conglomerate is running an R&D Centre developing new mechanisms to produce grey Hydrogen in Wallonia. Wallonia, which boasts a population of roughly a fifth of Delhi, is known to be the world's 2nd region to implement the Industrial Revolution some 150 years ago. That early innovative and pioneering spirit has remained a feature that keeps it at the forefront of engineering excellence to this day, and confers it a leadership role in a wide variety of niche sectors. Due to its ideal location in the heart of Europe's industrial crescent, Wallonia is the perfect launching pad for Indian businesses looking to develop activities in Europe and benefit from an open innovation landscape (e.g. through the Greenwin or TWEED innovation clusters). Some have already chosen it as its base, such as PCBL, Jindal or ELGI Equipment. Beyond the logistical advantage, they often based their decision on the strong incentives Walloon authorities offer foreign investors. The Walloon delegation boasts of several pioneering and award-winning multinational companies that have a long-standing association with India. Along with John Cockerill (the multi-industrial group active in hydrogen, Concentrated Solar Power and other sources of energy), the delegation comprises N-Side (data handling for the management of electricity grids), CE+T (multi-awarded pioneers who develop inverters and have long-standing collaborations in India, including an investment in a research laboratory), Armacell (manufacturing of polyethylene foams for wind turbines, among other energy applications), and chemicals company Dow (expertise in technical silicones and coatings enhancing the lifespan of solar panels in PV farms), Silox (currently investing in India in a battery recycling facility for extraction of non-ferrous metals) and Solvay (world-renowned in the field of advanced materials). These are the flag-bearers of Walloon excellence. Mr. Fabian Scuvie, Senior Energy Specialist at AWEX (Wallonia's trade & investment promotion agency), accompanied them and presented Wallonia's rich innovative ecosystems as well as a mapping of different value chains in the renewable energy sector (companies, research & academic centres, financial and governmental bodies) during two seminars in Mumbai and Delhi. Clearly, collaborations between India and Wallonia are not opportunistic in nature but, rather, the result of mutual recognition of their respective excellence. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Festivals are the perfect occasions to bond with the ones we love and so this Diwali, we want to encourage people to do just that, to meet and not just greet each other and to create memories to cherish for years to come, of course over a chilled Coke.
