MIVI factory in Hyderabad manufacturing earphones data cables and wireless speaker

Just a basic assembly plant that fixes imported components, and even this employs almost 2000 workers, 80% women! Image there dozens of just plants or companies who did the same. Even though the value addition is low, thats plenty of good paying (> farm earnings) employment. However we need more companies and startups that can locally design and manufacture the drivers, antennas etc. DO we have any such companies? Even Boat used to completely manufacture their earbuds in China

Solar Value Chain, Solar Power

The solar value chain stretches from manufacturing polysilicon, cells and modules all the way to services including project development, wholesale, engineering, construction and operations.

Modules and cells, the 2 components we are getting investment in PLI, makes up 35% of the overall value

Boat quality is the best in among these Indian brands. Boat is also making lot of things in India now.
Recently purchased Boult earbuds which are also made in India.

Ya'll Nibbiars The It's not that hard to understand. Virtually all currencies are declining vs the usd, not just INR. USD strength driven by high level of uncertainty in markets and this is usually the reaction. Hence it's not INR that's weak but USD that's strong.

The West’s Green Delusions Empowered Putin

While we banned plastic straws, Russia drilled and doubled nuclear energy production.

www.commonsense.news

Very good , pls ignore the anti Putin rhetoric.

My issue with Modi is he looks to much sucked up into this green energy and climate activism nonsense. When we should be building 4000 MW Coal Power Plants with latest technology backed by captive reserves of coal in East and North India, we are building expensive and less reliable solar and wind farms at expensive cost.

Modi hasn't stopped building coal plants. As for solar, sun doesn't shine in Germany and mf'ers spent a 100's of billions of dollar on solar because of ideology (they don't have good solar profile).

India needs to build nuclear for constant baseload + renewable + coal (for instant scale up when renewable is not available), till there is a feasible storage solution.


Here is the problem with all the fuels :

Renewable (except hydro) - Is not available 24*7. Zero carbon, can be sourced locally as we are setting up manufacturing plants, doesn't need constant fuel, can be recycled at end of 20-30 year lifecycle.

Nuclear - Production cannot be scaled up and down on demand (hence we can't increase electric production at night when sun goes down). Zero carbon. India doesn't have lots of Uranium, but fuel is small in volume, so we can store multi year fuel requirement in reserves, in case of disruption in supply chain.

Coal - Production can be scaled up and down on demand, India has coal reserves (but needs to keep on increasing production YoY to match demand). Dirtiest not only in terms of Carbon emission but also PM2.5 particles, hence causes smog.

Gas - Production can be scaled up and down on demand, India doesn't have much reserves, hence dependent on international market, gas prices in international market very volatile as it is much harder to transport than oil. Low in PM2.5 emission (no smog), 1/3rd of Carbon emission as coal.

With respect to Renewables' cons, I believe we can overcome that once we come up with solid state batteries that can be mass produced cheaply on economy of scale based on common elements, not rare earth elements.

This is like 45% depreciation within 2 years. In dollar terms Japanese economy is between 4 to 5 trillion dollars as on date. We should thank Putin for pushing Indian economy to 3rd largest in the world by many years before.

 

[FalconSlayers]

How does that work out may I ask? A country suffering food crisis is at 65th rank while India is kept at 107th rank next to war torn Afghanistan who’s entire economy is smaller than the city of Noida.

I know if an unbiased ranking comes out then India will be behind but these GHI rankings are way too exaggerated to be taken as truth.

Global Food Security Index 2022
These rankings are more realistic than the exaggerations of GHI which surveys 3000 people out of 1.4 billion Indians asking them whether they are less food than they should and BS like that.

Mototok’s Tugs are used in Civil Airports as well as adapted to military use on Aircraft Carriers and military bases. They have the entire European market to cater to.

on a side note and extended commentary.

Indian population being one sixth of humanity, doesn't have academia focusing in these sort of things, but there will be a story behind how this particular equipment gets into the SOPs of aircraft handling. when they say "rules based order", it also means they define the rules. even if we keep aside aircraft SOPs whose rules were primarily defined by the west, the airport handling SOPs too were defined by them, which in turn means the equipment standards that are used in airport handling is defined by folks defining the rules of the "rules based order".

it is India's long term strategic imperative to be at the table that defines the rules in a lot of areas, so that our I.Ps on equipment standards gets recognised ,this is why Indian defined 5G standards(partial) is a big deal and nice starting point.
