Stonecraft Group, a leader in integrated biophilic real estate, conceived and designed sustainable city living, is pleased to announce the launch of Woods Shamshabad Phase-II that marks an expansion of the world's largest Miyawaki forest. Steadfast as the project hit a record high for phase I, which was 4.5 lac trees over 18 acres, phase II will go bigger and tree by planting a whopping tree for 6.5 lac over 25+ acres, spreading Stonecraft Group's promise of green living & infrastructure for sustainable living.
This phase will feature 150 farm units, ranging in size from 1,800 to 3,500 square yards, structured in a grid pattern across a sprawling 100+ acre area. The project will cover a total saleable area of 3,30,300 square yards, offering a blend of tranquility, community living, and a robust green environment. The total expected revenue from Woods Shamshabad Phase-II, based on the saleable area of 3,30,300 square yards, is estimated to be approximately ₹ 300 cr.
The key highlights of Woods Shamshabad Phase-II include the provision of water gratis, with a focus on water-saving through efficient sullage management. The development ensures complete power backup, guaranteeing uninterrupted services and convenience for residents. Additionally, it offers a secured gated community with a clubhouse, fostering a community-oriented living experience.
The vision of Stonecraft Group at the Woods Shamshabad will change real estate from a profitable way to property by its structure of integrating nature and innovation. In the surroundings of this ongoing evolution in Miyawaki forest, sustainability and biodiversity are being preserved while securing the well-being of residents. Along with these global sustainability goals, the project broadly infuses our commitment to environmental stewardship in the company by means of additional green cover, carbon reduction and promotion of green living.
Founder & Managing Director of Stonecraft Group, Kirthi Chilukuri emphasised, 'Woods Shamshabad Phase- II, carries on from the legacy, hand on heart of professional people innovating, sustainable & community living. At over one million trees, this development is proof of our promise for environmental sustainability. This is the day we all share an equanimity in taking care of our planet as it approaches World Environment Day. This expansion provides the ideal environment for residents to relax, while maintaining low air pollution, increasing biodiversity & ensuring natural resources are conserved. Stonecraft Group believes that every project should be a part of the environment, and Woods Shamshabad Phase-II follows this idea.'
Phase II of Woods Shamshabad inducts the heritage of Stonecraft Group with a balanced setting and Planet values, as a sustainable, eco-friendly and community-centric developer for 36 years. It will allow homebuyers/ investors to be part of a pioneering initiative that integrates a green patch and declares living simply, further reinforcing what the company has always stood for, its real estate stakeholders.
Stonecraft Group, a leader in biophilic and sustainable real estate, has successfully launched three flagship projects: PGA Golf City, Woods Indresham, and Assisted Living, demonstrating its commitment to innovative, eco-conscious living.

India's solar module manufacturing capacity surges 100 GW in past two years: Report

India's solar module manufacturing capacity has surged to 100 GW over the past two years boosted by schemes like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) and the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM), said SBI Capital Markets in its latest report. This domestic expansion has been met with equally robust demand, with solar additions in the last fiscal year (FY25) jumping 60 per cent to 24 GW, a growth that required an estimated 50 GWdc of modules. However, the rapid capacity build up is raising concerns about a potential oversupply. With annual solar additions expected to stabilise at 40-50 GW, the 190 GW of capacity projected to be installed by 2027 could outstrip domestic demand. "Players who want to take advantage of the lucrative market would look to set up onshore facilities, with a distinct advantage for early movers as the US market is also building up indigenous upstream capacity," added the report. Cell and wafer bottlenecks While module manufacturing is reaching maturity, a significant gap remains in the upstream value chain. India's solar cell capacity, at less than 30 GW, is far from sufficient. The new ALMM-II order for cells, which mandates the use of domestically listed cells for projects with bids submitted after August 31, 2025, is a significant policy intervention aimed at closing this gap. The order is also set to open up the substantial Commercial & Industrial (C&I) market to domestic manufacturers by applying to projects benefiting from net metering and open access rules. Planned capacity additions are expected to bring cell manufacturing closer to self-sufficiency in the medium term. In the interim, however, the higher price of domestically-sourced Domestic Content Requirement cells could temporarily inflate project costs and dampen bidding enthusiasm. A key policy clarity, which exempts approximately 100 GW of projects bid out since December 2024, will provide a crucial buffer for the market to adjust without undue price spikes. Polysilicon issue Further up the value chain, the reliance on foreign, specifically Chinese, components is almost total. The target to achieve a 40 GW wafer capacity by March 2027 is an ambitious goal, but on-ground progress is moderate. A government order mandating the use of blue wafers for cells to be classified as domestic is a positive step, but more concerted action is needed. The most critical and absent link in India's solar manufacturing chain is polysilicon. The analysis highlights that China's recent decision to shut down a third of its polysilicon capacity has caused a global price spike of 35-40 per cent While this has not yet affected module prices, it is eating into the margins of mid- and downstream players who are not vertically integrated. Long-Term Questions The superior growth and margin profile of Indian integrated manufacturers compared to their international counterparts is a direct result of this policy support and tight domestic supply-demand conditions in the cell segment. Standalone module makers, in contrast, may see more variable returns, pushing some to diversify into adjacent sectors like inverters, independent power producers, and battery storage.

Public hearing held for 1200 MW Kalai-II hydro project in Arunachal's Anjaw

Itanagar, The Arunachal Pradesh State Pollution Control Board on Wednesday conducted a public hearing for environmental clearance for the proposed 1200 MW Kalai-II hydroelectric project, an official said. Public hearing held for 1200 MW Kalai-II hydro project in Arunachal's Anjaw The project is being developed by THDC India Limited in Anjaw district, bordering China. The public hearing, chaired by Anjaw deputy commissioner Millo Kojin, saw the participation of state Women and Child Development minister Dasanglu Pul, who is the local MLA, THDC officials and project-affected families from 33 villages. Recalling that her late husband and former chief minister Kalikho Pul had initiated survey work for Kalai-I and II in 2009, Pul said she was glad to see his vision nearing fruition. Urging locals to back the project, she cited Uttarakhand's Tehri dam as an example of the benefits of large hydropower infrastructure. Pul, who represents Anjaw district in the assembly, also assured that 50 per cent of the project's employment opportunities would be reserved for land-affected families, besides boosting self-employment and entrepreneurship. With an investment of nearly ₹4,000 crore, Kalai-II is expected to generate free power worth ₹318 crore annually after commissioning, while contributing ₹2.2 crore every year to the Local Area Development Fund. Officials said the project, one of 13 stalled hydro schemes revived last year through MoAs signed with four central PSUs, will create around 1,700 direct jobs and spur development through roads, healthcare, education and allied services. During the hearing, SPCB officials explained the clearance process, while THDC and its consultant WCOS Ltd presented details of the project's environmental impacts and proposed mitigation measures. The project affected families raised concerns over land rates, compensation, employment and local area development. Assuring the project-affected families that their suggestions would be reflected in the minutes, the deputy commissioner proposed exposure visits for two representatives from each affected village to Uttarakhand's Tehri dam. THDC executive director A K Ghildiyal and senior officials assured that the company would address genuine concerns in line with rules and guidelines.
