Indian Infrastructures and Capabilities
The centre has been developed by the Ministry of MSME on 10 acres of land provided by the Karnataka government. It includes dedicated training, production and administrative blocks, along with hostels and staff accommodation.
The field-scale trial was carried out on NH-716, Chennai–Tirupati Package-I, by the CSIR-Central Road Research Institute (CSIR-CRRI), Oriental Structural Engineers Private Limited (OSEPL) and Ooms Polymer Modified Bitumen Pvt. Ltd. The Ministry of Science and Technology announced the achievement on September 2, 2026.
The development gives India a particularly prominent position within the Stuttgart-based family-owned company. India is now LAPP’s second-largest market globally, while the Bhopal operation has surpassed the group’s other manufacturing sites in scale.
Located in the Bommasandra Industrial Area, the new facility has an initial footprint of about 20,000 square feet and is equipped with Surface Mount Technology, Through-Hole Technology and box-build assembly lines. It has been designed to manufacture electronics for sectors where product reliability, process control and stringent quality standards are particularly important.
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.
