Honeywell's India business to enter $1billion club this year
Bengaluru: Honeywell's India business is set to enter the $1 billion revenue club in the 2025 calendar year, up from $900 million, fuelled by the convergence of 5G, cloud, and AI, creating a strong growth tailwind.
"India provides an opportunity to grow at double-digits over the next several years for companies like us. It's one of our fastest-growing markets globally. We plan to be a $1 billion company in 2025. The convergence of AI, 5G, and cloud—a powerful trifecta transforming the industries we serve. This unique combination creates significant promise and marks a major inflection point in AI adoption," said Ashish Modi, president of Honeywell India.
Honeywell has been present in the country for over nine decades, from licensing technology for the first refinery at Digboi in Assam in the 1930s to supporting the 100 smart cities initiative. Its business powers three megatrends—automation, aviation, and energy transition. It also delivers solutions across aerospace, industrial and building automation, and energy. At the core of Honeywell's technology transformation is its AI-driven platform, Forge.

Honeywell in India has three manufacturing facilities and four global centres of excellence for technology development and innovation. It employs close to 13,000 people across 20 locations in the country. "Over 60% of Honeywell's global software development happens in India, marking a significant Make in India contribution," he said.
AI is embedded in three key areas—products. AI-powered tools like Maintenance Assist speed up issue diagnosis and optimise building energy use. In product development, AI-assisted coding accelerates development and reduces time to market, and it leverages AI to enhance productivity across HR, legal, sales, and customer service by supporting employees, not replacing them.
Modi said the company recently announced what we call the airport ground lighting system.
"We started a new line in the Gurugram factory," he added. Honeywell launched its Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) manufacturing facility in Gurugram. The 41,000 sq ft facility produces AGL systems essential for safe airport operations and compliance with global aviation standards. India's rapidly growing aviation industry is projected to invest up to $12 billion and expand from 148 to 220 airports by 2025.
Honeywell's Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) solutions, developed and engineered in India, are FAA-certified and comply with ICAO standards.
Honeywell's LED-based AGL solutions improve visibility, reduce energy consumption, and offer greater durability and longer lifespan compared to traditional halogen lamps. Modi said that Honeywell teamed up with Navin Fluorine, part of the Padmanabh Mafatlal Group, to manufacture Honeywell's Solstice zd, a hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) that has various applications, including blowing agents for foam insulation and refrigeration liquid for chillers.
He is also betting big on the newer opportunities in the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) space. " The MRO industry in India is valued at $4 billion and growing at 10%–12% annually. Historically, most MRO work was done abroad due to a smaller domestic market and limited incentives for OEMs. That's now changing as scale and demand grow," Modi said.

Oil prices extend rise as Iran-Israel conflict enters sixth day
Oil prices ticked up in early trading on Wednesday after ending the previous session up more than 4% on worries that the Iran-Israel conflict could disrupt supplies. Brent crude futures rose 19 cents, or 0.25%, to $76.64 a barrel by 0029 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 23 cents, or 0.31%, to $75.07 per barrel. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday called for Iran's "unconditional surrender" as the Iran-Israel air war entered a sixth day. The U.S. military is deploying more fighter aircraft to the region to bolster its forces, three officials said on Tuesday. Analysts said the market was largely worried about supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz , which carries a fifth of the world's seaborne oil. Live Events Two oil tankers collided near the strait and caught fire on Tuesday. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations had warned on Monday that electronic interference is affecting ships' navigation systems. Iran is OPEC 's third-largest producer extracting about 3.3 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil, but analysts say other members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries could use their spare capacity to make up for a drop in Iranian output. Markets are also looking ahead to a second day of U.S. Federal Reserve discussions on Wednesday, in which the central bank is expected to leave its benchmark overnight interest rate in the 4.25%-4.50% range. However, the conflict in the Middle East and the risk of slowing global growth could push the Fed to potentially cut rates by 25 basis points in July, sooner than the current market expectation of September, said Tony Sycamore, market analyst with IG. "The situation in the Middle East could become a catalyst for the Fed to sound more dovish, as it did following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack," Sycamore said. Lower interest rates generally boost economic growth and demand for oil. Confounding the decision for the Fed, however, is that the Middle East conflict also creates a new source of inflation via surging oil prices. U.S. crude and gasoline stocks fell last week while distillate inventories rose, market sources said, citing American Petroleum Institute figures on Tuesday.

India-Canada ties 'extremely important': PM Modi tells Canadian counterpart
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said relations between India and Canada are "extremely important" and the two nations should work together to achieve win-win cooperation in various sectors. Prime Minister Modi and his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney held bilateral discussions on the margins of the G7 Summit here. This was the first meeting between the two leaders since Carney assumed office in May 2025. Congratulating Carney on his grand victory in the election, Modi said, I am sure under your leadership, we will be able to work together in a positive way and take the India-Canada relationship forward." I believe that India-Canada relations are extremely important and India and Canada should work together and achieve win-win cooperation in several areas, Modi said in his remarks ahead of the bilateral meeting. He said Canadian companies have invested in India in a big way, and Indian people have also invested in Canada substantially. We both stand for democratic values. Together, we can strengthen democratic values, we can strengthen humanity, Modi said, adding that if the two nations work together and optimally utilise all their resources, We can work for the welfare of the entire humanity." I am extremely confident that we'll be able to do this task, said Modi, who is in Canada at the invitation of Carney to attend the G7 Summit. "Had an excellent meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney. Complimented him and the Canadian Government for successfully hosting the G7 Summit," Modi said in an X post. "India and Canada are connected by a strong belief in democracy, freedom and rule of law. PM Carney and I look forward to working closely to add momentum to the India-Canada friendship. Areas like trade, energy, space, clean energy, critical minerals, fertilisers and more offer immense potential in this regard," he said. In his opening remarks ahead of the meeting, Carney said it was a great honour to host Modi at the G7. He said India has been participating in the G7 since 2018, and this is a testament to the importance of your country, to your leadership, and to the importance of the issues that we look to tackle together - from energy security, from the energy transition that you're hoping to lead, to the future of artificial intelligence, to the fight that we have against transnational repression, against terrorism, against other factors, and the work that we can do together. It is my great honour to have you here. I enjoyed your intervention just now and look forward to our discussion, Carney said. Modi further said that he was happy to get the opportunity to visit Canada after 2015 and to be in touch with the people of Canada. This is his first visit to Canada in a decade. India is the largest democracy in the world. During our chair of the G20 Summit, we took many initiatives for the welfare of the world, and today we are extending that resolve through the G7 summit and going to execute it through the help of this platform as well." Modi said this is a great opportunity for us to serve the public good, the global good. It has always been India's intention to promote global goods, and today through G7 we have that same opportunity. Carney's invitation to Modi to attend the G7 Summit signalled the new government's intent to repair the ties with New Delhi that plummeted to an all-time low over the killing of pro-Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. In October last year, India recalled its high commissioner and five other diplomats after Ottawa attempted to link them to the Nijjar case. India also expelled an equal number of Canadian diplomats. India had accused former prime minister Justin Trudeau's government of allowing pro-Khalistani elements to operate from Canadian soil. Carney, an economist and political newcomer, took charge as Canada's new prime minister in March following the exit of Trudeau from the top office. After Trudeau's exit, New Delhi said it hoped to rebuild ties with Canada based on "mutual trust and sensitivity". In the last few months, the security officials of India and Canada resumed contact and both sides were looking at the possibility of appointing new high commissioners. Describing India and Canada as "vibrant democracies", the external affairs ministry said last week that New Delhi believes the forthcoming meeting between the prime ministers of the two countries on the sidelines of the G7 Summit will offer an important opportunity to exchange views and "explore pathways" to reset bilateral ties. During PM Modi's last visit in 2015, bilateral ties were elevated to the level of strategic partnership. Bilateral trade in goods in 2024 stood at USD 8.6 billion. India exported USD 4.2 billion and imported USD 4.4 billion worth of goods. Bilateral trade in services in 2024 stood at USD 14.3 billion, with India exporting USD 2.5 billion and importing USD 11.8 billion worth of services.
