From connected plants to intelligent industry: India’s next digital transformation
The real opportunity lies in combining India’s engineering depth with its growing digital capabilities. The factories and energy systems of the future will not necessarily be those with the largest number of sensors, the most sophisticated dashboards or the greatest volume of data. They will be the ones that can sense earlier, understand faster and act with greater precision.

How India is pioneering a sustainable, self-reliant EV battery ecosystem
India’s battery industry is still taking shape, and it will rely on others for several raw materials for some time. What has changed is that manufacturing, renewable power, new chemistries and recycling are now being planned as parts of one system. If cell plants come online on time and run on clean power, and recycling targets are enforced, India can cut its import bill and give local makers more control over how batteries are sourced, made and recovered.
