Prostarm Info Systems rallies on plans to set up BESS manufacturing facility in Haryana
The company stated that this initiative marks a key milestone in its commitment to enhancing manufacturing capabilities in the battery energy storage solutions segment.
According to an exchange filing, for the proposed expansion, the company has secured a 9-year leasefrom May 2025 to April 2034for a land parcel measuring 3,912.15 sq. meters, which includes a covered shed area of 34,000 sq. ft.
The total planned capital expenditure for the project is Rs 25 crore. This will cover the setup of advanced plant and machinery, office infrastructure, HVAC systems, power capacity upgrades, anti-static flooring, warehousing, and other essential infrastructure required for high-end assembly and integration. The plant will have an annual manufacturing capacity of 1.2 GWh, enabling Prostarm to meet large-scale demand across multiple sectors.
The BESS unit will cater to both Commercial & Industrial (C&I) and Utility-scale applications. The facility is expected to be commissioned by the end of FY26 and will support Indias growing demand for energy storage solutions, which is being driven by the countrys ambitious renewable energy targets.
The company noted that Indias battery energy storage system (BESS) market is projected to expand to 66 GW by 2032 from less than 0.2 GW currently, reflecting a sevenfold increase in capacity, according to industry sources. The widespread adoption of BESS could help avoid over 2,000 mn tonnes of CO2 emission. The planned addition of 44+ GW of BESS capacity by 2030 is a critical step towards integrating renewable energy and enhancing grid stability. Indias BESS market is expanding due to the surge in renewable capacity as the country progress towards its 2030 renewable energy mission.
Ram Agarwal, Whole Time Director and CEO said, "This strategic expansion marks our entry into the fast-growing BESS segment, which is a natural extension of our core expertise in power electronics. With this facility, the company aims to become one of Indias few OEMs manufacturing BESS solutions, allowing us to directly supply to EPC contractors and developers, thereby opening up significant new revenue opportunities. We believe this strategic expansion positions Prostarm at the forefront of Indias energy transformation.

India building commercial silicon fab with 50,000 per month wafer production capacity: Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw
Agencies Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw India is building a commercial-scale silicon-based fabrication facility (fab) that will churn out 50,000 wafer starts per month, even as such fabs usually operate at 20,000-40,000 wafer starts per month, electronics and information technology (IT) minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Friday. The minister was referring to the Rs 91,000 crore fab being built by Tata Electronics in Gujarat's Dholera, which was approved in February last year. In semiconductor manufacturing, a wafer is a thin, circular slice of a crystalline semiconductor material, most commonly silicon, upon which integrated circuits are fabricated. "Six semiconductor units, one fab and five Assembly, Testing, Marking, and Packaging units, are at different stages of planning, construction and execution. Four more (one silicon carbide fab and three ATMP including the most advanced packaging unit) were approved last week. The entire ecosystem - design, fabrication, packaging, equipment, chemicals, gases - taking shape in Bharat," Vaishnaw said in a post on social media platform X. Two of the largest equipment manufacturers—Applied Materials and Lam Research—are setting up their design, production, and validation facilities in the country, he added. Also Read: Four new semiconductor units worth Rs 4,594 crore to come up in Odisha, AP, Punjab: Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw Vaishnaw's comments came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his Independence Day speech that while the first proposal to set up a semiconductor factory in India got killed 60 years back, the country will finally get semiconductor chips that are 'Made in India' and 'Made by Indians' before the year is over. Elaborating on the PM's statement, Vaishnaw said semiconductor industry pioneer Robert Noyce had come to India to set up a plant in 1964, but the erstwhile Permit Raj implemented by the ruling Congress Party back then did not allow him to. Royce then moved to Hong Kong and founded global tech major Intel Corporation, Vaishnaw claimed in his post. Nicknamed "the Mayor of Silicon Valley," Robert Noyce was an American physicist and entrepreneur who co-founded Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957 and Intel Corporation in 1968. Fairchild Semiconductor was a pioneer in the manufacturing of transistors and of integrated circuits, while Intel created the world's first commercial microprocessor chip—the Intel 4004—in 1971. Both companies were founded and incorporated in California. Also Read: Crisis-hit global chip companies vie for an Indian summer via partnership The minister also pointed out that Intel had once again tried to set up a semiconductor unit in India in 2005-06. "Once again, it was not allowed because of the policy paralysis of the UPA regime," Vaishnaw said, questioning Congress General Secretary and Member of Parliament Jairam Ramesh on it. Earlier in the day, Ramesh had posted on X that the Semiconductors Complex Ltd (SCL) was established in Chandigarh during the Congress regime, starting operations in Vaishnaw argued that despite being established so many years back, SCL, Mohali, continues to work at just a lab scale.

Ola Electric targets global market with ₹5 lakh Diamondhead EV motorcycle
Ola Electric on Friday unveiled its new electric motorcycle, Diamondhead, with an expected price of Rs 500,000, targeting a foray into the global market. The company said the motorcycle is designed for commuting, touring, and performance riding. Deliveries of these vehicles are expected to begin in the calendar year 2027. Further advancing its localisation drive, the EV major also announced the integration of an indigenously developed 4680 battery cell into two of its key models: the S1 Pro Plus electric scooter and the Roadster X Plus motorcycle. It also showcased a motor without rare earth metals at its Gigafactory. Deliveries of the updated vehicles will begin post-Navaratri. Founder and CEO Bhavish Aggarwal said the Diamondhead aims for a target price of Rs 500,000. 'Our mission is to take biking to the next level not just in India, but across the world,' he added. The addition of the indigenous battery to its portfolio follows the company's launch of its 110-acre Ola Gigafactory, which has an initial capacity of 5 gigawatt-hours (GWh). Ola also refreshed its scooter lineup, unveiling the S1 Pro Sport, which will be priced at Rs 149,999 (ex-showroom, introductory), with deliveries commencing from January 2026. 'The S1 Pro Sport delivers twice the power of others in the segment, with top speed and acceleration suited for both track and city use. It offers performance, safety features, and suspension that competitors lack, and will be priced competitively against current market options,' Aggarwal said. To improve its market share, the company will now retail the S1 Pro Plus at Rs 1,69,999, down from Rs 1,99,999, while the Roadster X Plus is priced at Rs 1,89,999, a cut from Rs 2,24,000. The launch comes at a time when Ola's competitors are rapidly expanding their electric two-wheeler portfolios. In recent months, Bajaj introduced the Chetak 3001 at Rs 99,990 to target the budget EV segment; Hero MotoCorp rolled out the Vida VX2 with flexible battery ownership options; and TVS launched the iQube ST with a bigger 5.3 kWh battery and an extended 212 km range. Ather updated its 450 series with new features like magic twist braking and plans to unveil a new EL platform with software upgrades and faster charging later this month. Meanwhile, Ultraviolette launched the Tesseract scooter, and Royal Enfield is gearing up for the launch of its first electric motorcycle. The S1 Pro Sport's electric motor produces 16 kW of peak power and 71 Nm of torque, enabling a claimed 0–40 km/h time of 2.0 seconds and a top speed of 152 km/h. According to Vahan data from January to July, Ola registered 1,33,134 units in 2025 compared to 2,70,346 units in 2024 — a decline of about 50.8 per cent. This launch comes at a time when the company has been losing market share amid multiple challenges, including thousands of consumer complaints over alleged faulty products that prompted CCPA intervention and a sizable warranty provision, as well as reported glitches in its vehicle registration process following the termination of a vendor partnership during an internal system overhaul. The company outlined plans to scale its hypercharger network to 10,000 chargers by 2026, aiming to cover major urban and intercity routes. Ola also provided an update on its battery cell manufacturing programme, which it said will enable greater localisation of components. According to Aggarwal, this initiative 'will help control costs and reduce import dependence' as electric mobility adoption increases. Ola also unveiled its new MoveOS 6 software, which will add features such as adaptive cruise control, blind spot alerts, a voice assistant, and multiple customisable modes. The company highlighted its in-house 4680 'Bharat' cells, which will power two-wheelers, three-wheelers, energy storage systems, and drones. The motorcycles and scooters will be available through Ola's existing direct-to-customer sales network, with bookings for the scooters starting immediately. Aggarwal said the company's focus is to expand both product offerings and charging infrastructure in parallel, supporting wider adoption of electric two-wheelers in India.
