Building Robust Safety Ecosystem for EVs in India

BusinessWire India New Delhi [India], September 6: UL Standards & Engagement, in collaboration with the U.S. Commercial Service, Bureau of Indian Standards, WRI India, NITI Aayog, and the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), convened the 'Constructing a Resilient Electric Vehicle Safety Ecosystem in India' conference this week. The event put forward solutions to address safety concerns for the growing Electric Vehicles (EVs) market in India. With the surge in electric vehicle sales, India's EV industry is poised for substantial growth in the coming years. However, recent incidents of EV-related fires have raised concerns, underscoring the urgent need for prompt safety measures. Stakeholders proposed strategies for establishing a safer, more secure, and sustainable EV ecosystem in India. Participants also discussed challenges faced by the country's EV sector, including adapting electric vehicles to tropical climates, developing a supporting infrastructure, and ensuring competence across the entire supply chain, from raw materials to maintenance. The importance of adopting global best practices and investing in research and development was highlighted as a critical component to effectively address these challenges. The conference also ensured the pivotal role in steering towards the future of electric vehicles in India that is safe, secure, and environmentally conscious. The importance of establishing a strong quality framework for EVs, building consumer confidence and the necessity for a skilled workforce was underscored during the two-day session. Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India, stated, "The automotive industry is a vital contributor to our country's economy. With the increased adoption of electric vehicles in India, it's evident that we must take steps to support their development, including charging infrastructure and hydrogen filling stations, alongside greater investments in EVs. Our path towards a sustainable future requires affordable and versatile vehicles that are embraced by everyone." Eric Garcetti, United States Ambassador to Indiaadded, "Amidst this transformative era, where climate concerns are significant, we are not merely engaged in engineering vehicles; we are dedicated to making people's lives better. We're working hard to set standards and accelerate this change during a time of significant shifts due to climate concerns. Our commitment resonates in the expanding global electric car sector, where India emerges as a frontrunner, and the United States seeks a partnership to further this cause. I believe investment in innovations can help us take this ahead." Sudhendu Sinha, Advisor - Infrastructure Connectivity - Transport & Electric Mobility, NITI Aayog,stated, "In our ongoing journey, it's crucial to identify safety gaps. Through establishing and enforcing standards, we guarantee consistent safety measures. With numerous Indian states aspiring to elevate manufacturing and mobility, we strive to foster an environment of innovation and progress. Enduring and meaningful impact demands our products to embody these aspirations and adhere to established standards. This alignment of ambition and compliance defines our success narrative." David Steel, Executive Director of UL Standards & Engagement, expressed, "The collective expertise shared over the last few days moves India closer to a safe, reliable, and sustainable electric vehicle ecosystem for future generations. The potential of EVs is inextricably linked to safety. Standards are a critical part of capitalizing on that potential, allowing for greater global sustainability in concert with safety." Madhav Pai, CEO, WRI India, added, "For creating a safe and robust EV ecosystem in India, we need a collaborative approach among government, industry, and academia. There is a huge opportunity to encourage innovation and bring in new battery chemistry, technologies and startups into the mainstream. The Open Battery Management System platform initiated by NITI Aayog, and supported by WRI India, has brought together more than 50 academic institutions and industry leaders to develop basic BMS stack for both software and hardware components which ensures that two-wheeler and three-wheeler EVs are safe." Durra Elmaki, Commercial Attache, U.S. Commercial Service, commented, "We are thrilled to announce that the U.S. Commercial Service has teamed up with UL Standards & Engagement to host an exciting conference on standards for electric vehicles. The event promises to shed light on the various perspectives held by stakeholders regarding EV standards and to assess how these views can be aligned. It is vital to understand these differences, and events like this are an important part of the process towards achieving understanding and alignment. We look forward to seeing the insights that will be shared at the conference. Rishabh Jain, Senior Programmes Lead CEEW,stated "A robust EV safety ecosystem is the most crucial element as India tries to electrify its automobile sector. Multiple stakeholders, including government departments - at the national and sub-national level - vehicle and battery manufacturers, labs and academic institutions, need to come together to not only design standards but also implement them in full spirit. Upskilling of the workforce and development of design, testing and implementation infrastructure will be critical for the safety of EVs. Only through a regular consultative process between the industry and government, India will be able to make the EVs safer and accelerate the process of decarbonisation of its transport sector."

MMR Real Estate Sales and Housing Prices Surge In Q2 CY'23 CREDAI MCHI

PNN Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 31: MMR's real estate landscape is a dynamic canvas, continuously evolving and reshaping itself. A recent report published by CREDAI-MCHI in collaboration with CRE Matrix paints a vivid picture of the city's diverse housing trends, highlighting the ever-shifting dynamics across different localities. The report, a collaborative effort between CREDAI-MCHI and CRE Matrix, sheds light on the performance of the MMR housing sector during the second quarter of CY'23, highlighting both remarkable achievements and noteworthy challenges. It also highlights the interplay between sales, launches, inventory, and pricing - a combination that reflects the market's ability to navigate change with determination. In a remarkable turn of events, the MMR real estate market achieved a 6 per cent growth in sales during Q2 CY'23 compared to the same period last year. This growth showcases the sector's resilience in the face of shifting market dynamics, especially in a time of rising interest rates and inflation. The data is further enriched by the remarkable 9 per cent increase in housing prices during Q1 CY'23 as opposed to Q1 CY'22. This upswing in prices reflects the market's ability to maintain a steady course even as challenges such as rising interest rates and inflation loom large. As the world grapples with inflationary pressures and central banks respond with interest rate hikes, the MMR real estate sector continues to show remarkable adaptability. What's more noteworthy is that these trends are unfolding without the cushion of any government subsidies in the form of stamp duty waivers or GST waivers, which were instrumental in the market's revival earlier. Commenting on the report's findings,Dominic Romell, President of CREDAI-MCHI,stated, "The real estate sector in MMR is like a tapestry woven with threads of contrasting colours. Each region has its unique story, and this report provides valuable insights for investors and potential homebuyers. This report is a testament to the dynamism of the MMR real estate market. While facing unique challenges, the industry continues to evolve, showcasing its ability to adapt and flourish. The data further reinforces the sectors' strategic strength. It proves that even amidst rising interest rates and inflation, Mumbai's real estate market remains robust and forward-thinking." Abhishek Gupta, CEO of CRE Matrix,emphasised, "The market's response to fluctuating supply-demand dynamics and input cost increases is a testament to its resilience. This adaptability is a core strength of the MMR real estate sector, and more importantly, these trends indicate a market that can weather uncertainties while remaining committed to growth. The data provided in the report represents more than just statistics - it embodies the very heartbeat of the city's real estate landscape. These insights have far-reaching implications for individuals and businesses seeking to navigate Mumbai's ever-changing property market." The report's other key findings underscore the equilibrium between demand and supply, resulting in a relatively moderate 9 per cent increase in unsold inventories during Q2 CY'23 compared to the same period in the previous year, Q2 CY'22. This harmonious balance reflects the industry's adaptability and strategic response to market dynamics. The spotlight also falls on the remarkable growth in unsold inventories, which surged by an impressive 23 per cent in Navi Mumbai and Bhiwandi during the same time frame. This surge underlines the potential transformation of these regions and their burgeoning significance in the broader real estate narrative.
