ConnectM Completes Acquisition of Cambridge Energy Resources, Strengthening Foothold in India
MARLBOROUGH, Mass., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTC: CNTM) ('ConnectM' or the 'Company'), a high-growth technology company on the leading edge of the energy economy, today announced it has secured regulatory approval and completed the acquisition of Cambridge Energy Resources Ltd. (CER), an India-based Energy-Management-as-a-Service (EMaaS) provider.
The acquisition provides ConnectM with a strategic beachhead in India's booming distributed energy and telecommunications sectors, solidifying the Company's expansion into one of the world's fastest-growing clean energy and digital infrastructure markets. ConnectM beat out four other bidders in a competitive process to acquire CER in 2021 for INR 120 million ($1.4M) which has fair value assessment at INR 240 million ($2.8M). Since winning the bid in 2021, it took an additional three years to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals.
CER's offerings span rooftop solar installations and energy management solutions for telecommunications infrastructure, supporting India's 5G network deployment through clean energy initiatives. With this acquisition, ConnectM gains an established operating presence in India and the ability to immediately participate in two sectors central to India's sustainability and digital growth. The Company will leverage CER's local expertise to deploy its proprietary Home and Building Electrification (HBE) platform and Energy Intelligence Network (EIN) across new projects in the region. ConnectM's full-stack, digital-first approach—proven in its U.S. operations—combined with CER's on-ground capabilities is expected to drive growth in both distributed energy and telecom energy management solutions.
'This is a pivotal step in our international Home and Building Electrification (HBE) expansion,' said Bhaskar Panigrahi, Chairman and CEO of ConnectM. 'By adding Cambridge Energy Resources to the ConnectM family, we secure a foothold in one of the world's largest and highest-growth energy and telecommunications markets. We are now positioned to accelerate the deployment of our integrated electrification platform across India, furthering our mission to drive sustainable energy transformation on a global scale.'
The transaction carries significant strategic value for ConnectM and its stockholders. Our India business is growing organically at more than 100% per year. With this CER acquisition, we expect our business from India to grow to 15% of our global revenue in next twelve months ($10M annualized) from 5% it is currently now. CER not only provides an operational base in India but also broadens ConnectM's service offerings into two high-growth domains that align with India's ambitious development goals. India has set a target of reaching 500 GW of non-fossil fuel power capacity by 2030, supported by an estimated $384.5 billion in power sector investments, alongside a nationwide 5G rollout. These initiatives are driving robust demand for distributed renewable energy solutions and energy-efficient telecom infrastructure—areas where ConnectM, through CER, is now well positioned to deliver innovative solutions.
This acquisition follows ConnectM's March 26, 2025, announcement of its first HBE project in India and is a key part of the Company's broader strategic expansion into India and international markets. ConnectM plans to continue pursuing opportunities that strengthen its presence in high-growth regions as it scales its HBE platform globally.

Mustang Energy Commences an Airborne Survey at Spur Project South of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC, OTC:MECPF, FRA:92T) (the 'Company' or 'Mustang') is pleased to announce that it has initiated an Aerial Electromagnetic Survey (Xcite™ TDEM) with Radiometrics over the Spur Project (the 'Project') located south of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. The Project is located in a favorable region prospective for uranium, rare earth elements (REEs), and base metal mineralization. The Xcite™ TDEM survey with Radiometrics will be flown by Axiom Exploration Group. The airborne survey will encompass the portion of the claim package covering approximately 10,000 hectares which has not been covered by modern day electromagnetic (EM) survey techniques. The airborne survey aims to precisely locate EM and radiometric anomalies, and aid in geological interpretations on the property advancing exploration targeting. About Xcite™ TDEM Xcite™ is a new generation of helicopter-borne time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) systems developed by New Resolution Geophysics (NRG™). Axiom is an exclusive provider of this service in North America. This state-of-the-art technology provides an efficient alternative to prior TDEM technologies for mineral exploration. The system utilizes a patented inflatable transmitter loop with a diameter of approximately 20 meters, suspended about 30 meters below the helicopter. The Xcite™ system offers improved signal clarity, enabling the detection of subtle subsurface features. It features a programmable waveform with a fast turn-off time, allowing for flexibility in data acquisition and improved resolution of both shallow and deep 1: Mustang Energy Corp. Spur Project Location Map1 About the Spur Project The Project comprises ten claims covering 23,680 hectares. It is located just south of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan, a region globally renowned for its high-grade uranium deposits. The property is approximately 40 kilometers southeast of Cameco's Key Lake Mill Operation and 20 kilometers southwest of Skyharbour Resources/Terra Clean Energy's Fraser Lakes Zone B deposit (Figure 1). The Project's geological setting combines Proterozoic basement rocks of the Wollaston Group and uraniferous pegmatites1, presenting potential for uranium, thorium and rare earth element (REE) exploration. The Project offers lower cost exploration due to the absence of Athabasca Sandstone cover. Adjacent properties host high-grade surface grab samples including the Pipe Lake Showing with up to 8.0% U₃O₈ (sample # R69-10)2 within a hornblende-rich pegmatite 2.5 km northeast of the Project boundary.2 The Red October Showing, east of the Project boundary, shows grab sample assays of up to 1.93% U (sample # JBELR063)3 within syenite, and an outcrop chip sample through semipelitic gneiss showing 1.34% U (sample # AGELR008)3 over 1 meter. Adjacent Property Disclaimer: This news release includes references with respect to uranium occurrences which are located near the Project, including the Pipe Lake Showing and Red October Showing. Mustang considers this information to be relevant to exploration; however, these results have not been physically verified by Mustang's Qualified Person. The Company advises that, notwithstanding their proximity of location, discoveries of minerals on nearby properties and any promising results thereof are not necessarily indicative of the mineralization of, or located on the Project, or the Company's ability to commercially exploit the Project, or to locate any commercially exploitable deposits therefrom.

Today we look at: Good morning, this is Chiranjivi Chakraborty, an equities reporter in Mumbai. Local shares are likely to start the day flat, mirroring the dull city skies, with Nifty futures indicating a muted opening. This follows President Trump's announcement of unilateral tariff rates within two weeks, which has weakened Asian shares. Consumer price inflation data due later today is expected to moderate further, but may not be of much cheer to bulls with more rate cuts unlikely near term.
