Sineng Electric has strengthened its India team with the appointment of Amit Kaushik as Regional Head (Key Accounts Head).

In his new role, Kaushik will be responsible for managing key customer relationships and supporting Sineng Electric’s business development and market engagement across the region. His appointment comes as the company continues to expand its presence in India’s renewable energy and power electronics market.

Sineng Electric is a global supplier of PV inverters, energy storage inverters, and power quality products. The company has an established India presence, with its India operations based in Bengaluru.

The company’s portfolio includes central and string inverter solutions, along with energy storage and power quality solutions for renewable energy applications. Sineng also maintains sales and service networks across multiple regions and has dedicated sales support for the Indian market.

Kaushik’s appointment is expected to further strengthen Sineng Electric’s engagement with key customers and stakeholders in India’s rapidly evolving solar and energy storage ecosystem.

With India continuing to expand renewable energy capacity and the demand for advanced inverter and power electronics solutions growing, Sineng Electric is strengthening its local market capabilities to support customers and project developers.

ChargeIndia announced its entry into India’s EV ecosystem as a unified charging platform that allows users to access multiple public charging networks through a single app. At launch, ChargeIndia brings together more than 40 charge point operators (CPOs) across 1,200+ cities, allowing electric car owners to discover chargers across networks, check availability, navigate to a station, initiate charging, and pay directly through UPI without maintaining prepaid balances across multiple charging wallets. The app is live on Android and iOS.

India’s charging infrastructure has expanded rapidly as EV adoption has grown. According to the Ministry of Heavy Industries, India had 52,718 public charging stations as of July 2026, including 16,561 fast-charging stations for cars. The Ministry of Power’s EV charging guidelines have also outlined standards for creating a connected and interoperable charging network. As infrastructure expands across more operators, the next challenge is not only adding chargers, but making different charging networks easier and more consistent for consumers to access.

Devbrat Hariyani, Founder, ChargeIndia, said, “EV charging should work like any other essential service; consumers should be able to use it without having to understand which network sits behind it. That is the principle on which we have built ChargeIndia. We are creating a neutral platform that allows CPOs to remain independent while giving consumers a simpler way to access charging across networks. Our ambition is not to own the charging network, but to become the layer that makes different networks work together.”

One of the most common pain points for EV owners is money getting locked across multiple charging wallets as they move between CPO networks. By enabling direct UPI payment for each charging session, ChargeIndia removes the need to preload and maintain separate wallets across networks.

Participating charging networks include Statiq, ChargeMOD and ChargeZone, among others. Beyond its consumer app, ChargeIndia is designed to enable charging access within other digital platforms as well. OEMs, mobility platforms and other consumer-facing applications can integrate with ChargeIndia to access multiple charging networks without building separate integrations with individual CPOs.

Attero, India’s largest critical minerals firm and the world’s most technologically advanced urban miner, has operationalised its new R&D Centre of Excellence in Greater Noida, strengthening its in-house capabilities in technology development, process innovation and automation. The centre will support process development, automation design and technology upgrades across Attero’s critical materials recovery, recycling, refining and mid-stream processing operations in India and global markets.

The Centre’s current and planned programmes span advanced recycling and recovery of materials from end-of-life batteries, electronic components and other complex secondary resources, including recovery of rare earth elements and other high-value materials. Its work will also focus on developing advanced material recovery processes and converting recovered materials into higher-value applications.

This includes developing technologies for the extraction and recovery of critical materials from recycled feedstocks as well as mid-stream inputs. The technology programme includes robotics-based battery cutting, novel battery discharging systems, energy-efficient roasting equipment, advanced filtration and drying systems, automated material conveying and safer, environmentally compliant ventilation and exhaust systems.

The facility has also received recognition from the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Ministry of Science and Technology, as an in-house industrial R&D centre, valid through March 2029. The recognition formally places Attero’s facility within the Government’s recognised in-house industrial R&D framework and supports access to applicable Government facilitation for R&D-related procurement, including eligibility to seek customs-duty exemption on qualifying research equipment, instruments, spares and consumables, subject to prevailing Government notifications, eligibility conditions and the prescribed approval process.

“As a pioneer in technology-led urban mining, Attero has consistently built its capabilities around proprietary technology and in-house innovation. The operationalisation of this Centre of Excellence marks an important step in strengthening our ability to develop technologies for increasingly complex secondary resources. Attero has built a proprietary technology base supported by more than 50 granted patents and over 200 patent filings globally. The Centre will further deepen our ability to take ideas from the drawing board to industrial application, while building the technology capabilities needed for the next phase of growth in critical mineral recovery. The DSIR recognition further strengthens this in-house R&D framework and supports our focus on developing indigenous technologies for critical mineral recovery, advanced recycling and refining,” said Mr. Nitin Gupta, Co-founder and CEO, Attero.

The centre builds on Attero’s existing work in mechanical and hydrometallurgical processing, and its technology base is supported by more than 50 granted patents and over 200 patent filings globally. Attero has also received the CII Industrial Innovation Award 2025 and the Circular Economy Initiative Award at India Solar Week 2026 for its innovation work.

The Greater Noida centre complements Attero’s operating infrastructure, including its Roorkee facility in Uttarakhand, which has achieved recovery efficiencies of more than 98% and purity levels above 99.9% across battery materials. The new Centre of Excellence will provide a dedicated platform for developing technologies that can subsequently be deployed and upgraded across Attero’s recycling, refining and mid-stream processing operations.
