Leading contract manufacturer Dixon Technologies (India) Ltd on Monday (September 9) said its wholly owned subsidiary Padget Electronics Private Ltd has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with HP India Sales Private Ltd.
Under this agreement, Padget will manufacture notebooks, desktops, and all-in-one PCs for HP, subject to the signing of definitive agreements in due course.
HP is a leading global provider of personal computing and other digital access devices, imaging and printing products, and related technologies solutions and services.
The facility is expected to play a pivotal role in India's growing electronics manufacturing industry, which currently employs around 10 lakh people.
According to Vaishnaw, the factory will initially create approximately 1,500 jobs, with the potential for further employment as production ramps up.
The minister also confirmed that the first HP laptop produced at the Tamil Nadu facility is expected to be shipped by February 2025.
Suzlon Group on Monday said it has bagged India's largest wind energy order till date as it entered into a pact with NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), the renewables arm of NTPC Limited, to build 1,166 megawatt (MW) project in Gujarat.
The project involves installing 370 wind turbine generators (WTGs) with a rated capacity of 3.15 MW each at three sites in Gujarat.
Two out of the three projects are operated by NTPC Renewable Energy, while the other is a collaboration with Indian Oil NTPC Green Energy.
The contract brings Suzlon's cumulative order book to nearly 5 GW as of 3 September.
This deal also marks the company's first direct wind energy order from NGEL, signaling the renewable energy major's return to the PSU market. The wind power generated will serve approximately three million households upon completion.
NTPC, India's largest energy conglomerate, plans to add 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032.
This project forms a significant part of that goal and is expected to boost India's renewable energy efforts, with Suzlon managing equipment supply, installation, and maintenance.
Market regulator on Monday lifted restrictions imposed on 16 entities, including some former employees of Infosys, in a case pertaining to alleged insider trading activities in IT major shares.
The regulator also directed that the prohibition slapped on six entities -- Amit Bhutra, Bharath C Jain, Capital One Partners, Tesora Capital, Manish C Jain and Ankush Bhutra -- through the interim order, along with the confirmatory order, will stand vacated with immediate effect, bringing an end to the matter.
The case originated after Sebi identified suspicious trading patterns around the financial results announcements of Infosys for four quarters, covering from December 2019 to September 2020.
The preliminary investigation pointed to violations of the regulator's insider trading norms by various entities.
In its interim order in May 2021, Sebi imposed restrictions on several individuals and entities, including Pranshu Bhutra, Amit Bhutra, Bharath Jain, and other entities, prohibiting them from securities markets.
Thereafter, market regulator issued a show cause notice to Bhutra alleged to have access to unpublished price-sensitive information (UPSI) because of his frequent interactions with Subramaniyam and Sunil Kumar Dareshwar.
It was also alleged that Pranshu Bhutra had passed the UPSI to Amit Bhutra who then passed this information to the other notices.
Market Regulator's WTM Bhatia said the material available on record is not sufficient for sustaining the allegation that Venkat had communicated the UPSI to Pranshu.
