Transformer maker Shirdi Sai Electricals Ltd (SSEL), which has been selected under the Centre’s production linked scheme for setting up manufacturing capacities for high-efficiency solar PV modules, has entered into an MoU with German engineering and consulting services firm Viridis.iQ GmbH.
The German firm will assist in setting up the 4 GW manufacturing unit for polysilicon, ingot-wafer, cell and module proposed by SSEL.
The association with Viridis.iQ would strengthen SSEL in setting up one of India’s largest production facilities in the PV value chain. It would help produce world class solar cells and modules for domestic and international markets, thus also meeting the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’s objective, CEO Sharat Chandra said in a release on Wednesday.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
