19 May 2026 CW Team

Advait Energy Transitions has signed an MoU with Norway-based TECO Fuel Cell Technology AS at the 3rd India–Nordic Summit in Oslo to establish a framework for hydrogen fuel cell manufacturing in India.

The agreement was signed by Shalin Sheth, Founder and Managing Director, Advait Energy Transitions, and Tore Enger, Executive Chairman, TECO Maritime Group and CEO, TECO Fuel Cell Technology AS. The signing was witnessed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Norway Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.

Under the collaboration, TECO Fuel Cell Technology and AVL List GmbH of Austria will bring their jointly developed 400 kW hydrogen fuel cell module and 100 kW fuel cell stack to India for local manufacture, adaptation and deployment. The modular technology can be scaled into multi-megawatt configurations.

The partnership will focus on stationary power, including data centres, from Q1 2027; heavy-duty transport and mobility from Q1 2028; and maritime applications through 2028. It is expected to create at least 200 skilled jobs by 2032 across engineering, production, systems integration and project execution.

The agreement supports India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative and the National Green Hydrogen Mission.

Beyond Backup Power

For decades, diesel gensets occupied a largely functional role in buildings: a mandatory backup system specified to meet statutory requirements and activated only during grid outages. Today, however, this perception is undergoing a profound shift. Across residential, commercial and mission-critical developments, developers, consultants and operators are increasingly viewing gensets as integral to a broader energy resilience strategy. Rising occupant expectations, growing dependence on digital systems and the proliferation of smart technologies mean that uninterrupted power has become essential..

Mumbai-Pune Connecting Link is designed to ensure reliable all-weather, high-speed transport.

Infrastructure connectivity will be one of the keys to achieve Viksit Bharat. And the Mumbai-Pune Connecting Link has been developed as a long-term infrastructure solution for Western India. Dr Anilkumar Gaikwad, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), a speaker at the RAHSTA Expo 2026, elaborates upon the project and its significance.The Mumbai-Pune Connecting Link has largely been discussed as a travel-time reduction project. From MSRDC’s perspective, what larger infrastructure and mobility problem was this project actually designed to..

Noida International Airport

Noida International Airport (NIA) is not just another capacity addition to India’s aviation map. It is a test case in whether India can build airport infrastructure that is scalable from Day 1, operationally efficient at launch, and resilient enough to grow without the familiar pain points of brownfield expansion.Its significance lies not merely in the first phase but in the way the airport has been planned for its fourth. Scheduled to begin commercial operations on 15 June 2026, NIA’s first phase comprises one runway and one passenger terminal designed to handle 12 million passengers annu..
