Indian Infrastructures and Capabilities
The expanded facility is expected to become fully operational in 2030. Once completed, it will manufacture enzymes used across a wide range of industries, including biofuels, household-care products and food and beverages. Novonesis says the investment will substantially increase its production capacity as global demand for biological solutions continues to grow.
Speaking in Indore on September 5 after the expansion of the city’s metro service, the minister said India’s operational metro network has now reached around 1,170 km across 26 cities. He placed the corresponding network in the United States at around 1,386 km, leaving India roughly 216 km behind.
Mumbai-based TriNano Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is attempting to solve this problem at the surface of the solar module itself. The SINE IIT Bombay-incubated deep-tech company has developed an indigenous solid-state nano-coating designed to combine self-cleaning, anti-reflection and light-trapping properties in a layer only a fraction of the thickness of a human hair.
The project will upgrade 31.02 kilometres of the Bagdogra–Panitanki–Kharibari–Galgalia section of National Highway 327, improving one of the important road links connecting northern West Bengal with Bihar and routes leading toward Northeast India. Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari announced the approval on September 3, 2026.
The Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways currently lists 12 operational Major Ports under the administrative control of the Government of India: Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Paradip, Visakhapatnam, Chennai, Kamarajar, V.O. Chidambaranar, Cochin, New Mangalore, Mormugao, Mumbai, Jawaharlal Nehru and Deendayal Port.
The Sehore project represents more than an increase in CG Power’s factory space. Its combination of 45,000 MVA annual capacity, 220–1,200 kV manufacturing capability and export-oriented production establishes a new large-scale centre for advanced transformer manufacturing in India.
BDL currently lists four manufacturing units: Hyderabad, Bhanur and Ibrahimpatnam in Telangana, and Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. It is also developing additional facilities at Amravati in Maharashtra and Jhansi in the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor.
Bengaluru-based NoPo Nanotechnologies is working in precisely this field. The company develops and manufactures single-walled carbon nanotubes, or SWCNTs, an advanced carbon material with potential applications across batteries, semiconductors, water purification, aerospace systems, electronics, composites and specialised coatings.
The overall project is planned with 232.4 MWp of renewable generation capacity and approximately 201 MWh of battery energy storage, meaning a substantial majority of the planned generation capacity has now entered operation. The latest addition leaves approximately 54.8 MWp of planned generation capacity yet to be commissioned if the project is completed according to its currently disclosed configuration.
The solar facility will have an installed capacity of 110 MW AC and will be developed in Uttar Pradesh specifically under the captive-power model. Instead of selling its electricity into the general market, the project will primarily supply power required for operation of the Namo Bharat system.
