Madhya Pradesh has taken another important step toward strengthening its renewable energy sector with the inauguration of two major solar power projects. The 500 MW Neemuch Solar Park and the 450 MW Shajapur Solar Park were inaugurated in the presence of Union Minister Shri Pralhad Joshi. The launch of these projects marks a significant milestone in the state’s efforts to expand clean energy generation and reduce dependence on conventional power sources.

The state also witnessed the signing of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the upcoming 440 MW Morena Solar Plus Storage Project. The project is expected to combine solar power generation with energy storage, helping to improve grid reliability and ensure a stable supply of electricity even during periods when solar generation is low. The agreement reflects the growing focus on integrating energy storage with renewable power to support India’s energy transition.

In addition to the renewable energy projects, development works worth more than ₹1,553 crore were inaugurated and dedicated to the people of Madhya Pradesh. These projects are expected to strengthen infrastructure, improve public services, and contribute to the state’s overall economic development.

The newly inaugurated solar parks and the upcoming Morena Solar Plus Storage Project are expected to increase renewable energy capacity in the state while supporting India’s clean energy goals. These initiatives also demonstrate Madhya Pradesh’s continued commitment to sustainable development, energy security, and environmental protection.

The expansion of renewable energy infrastructure is expected to attract fresh investments, create employment opportunities, and support long-term economic growth. With these developments, Madhya Pradesh continues to position itself as one of the leading states in promoting clean and sustainable energy solutions in India.

EMO Energy has announced a partnership with Revamp Moto to deploy 5,000 low-speed electric two-wheelers across last-mile delivery fleets in India, with an initial order of 1,000 scooters over the next two months.

The partnership brings together Revamp Moto’s purpose-built delivery vehicle platform with EMO Energy’s liquid-cooled Zenpac battery, Al-powered battery management system, fast-charging ecosystem, designed specifically for high-utilisation commercial fleets.

The scooters are low-speed models capped at 25 kmph, powered by EMO Energy’s 2 kWh ZenPac battery with a real-world range of up to 90 kilometres. The battery supports fast charging in approximately 20 minutes via EMO’s Swft charger, enabling rapid turnaround and higher daily uptime for delivery fleets.

The 25 kmph ceiling aligns with the operating realities of dense urban delivery routes, maintaining productivity while improving rider safety in congested conditions. Throughout operation, EMO’S AI-powered battery management system continuously analyses, predicts and manages battery health, giving fleet operators real-time visibility into performance and degradation trends.

Beyond the battery and charger, EMO’s NEXO platform manages the complete charging infrastructure and operations at dark store locations giving fleet operators a fully managed energy environment at the point of use.

The ZenPac battery has been validated across more than 150 million kilometres of operation, with approximately 1.2 percent degradation at 300 cycles and under 2 percent beyond 400 cycles. The system incorporates active immersion cooling, an Al-driven energy management system and active cell balancing, backed by 25 patents. EMO Energy currently operates over 1,500 fast chargers across 12 plus cities in India.

Sheetanshu Tyagi, Co-founder and CEO of EMO Energy, said, “Scaling last-mile mobility in India requires the vehicle and the energy system to be designed together for high utilisation and real-world operating conditions. With Revamp Moto, we’ve combined a purpose-built, low-speed delivery scooter with a battery platform engineered for scalability, predictable performance over years and low total cost of ownership. The ZenPac battery’s immersion cooling and active balancing deliver consistent range and life even under the demanding duty cycles of last-mile delivery and this deployment shows what that technology can do at scale.”

Pritesh Mahajan, Co-founder and CEO of Revamp Moto, said, “The future of commercial EVs will be defined by integrated mobility ecosystems, not standalone vehicles. Through our partnership with EMO Energy, we’re delivering a complete mobility solution where the vehicle and energy system are engineered together for the realities of high-utilisation last-mile logistics. As we deploy these 5,000 electric scooters across India, we’re enabling fleet operators to transition to electric mobility with greater confidence, higher uptime and a significantly lower total cost of ownership.”

Just two weeks after launching the $175 (5.0 MW), India’s tallest and the most powerful wind turbine, Suzion has secured its first 105 MW order for the next-generation turbine from Sunsure Energy. The order marks the commercial debut for $175, reinforcing strong customer confidence in Suzlon’s differentiated technology and innovation-led product portfolio. This is also Sunsure’s third order with Suzion in less than 14 months, taking the cumulative partnership to 400.8 MW.

Powered by a 175-meter rotor and a 160-meter hybrid lattice tower, the $175 is engineered to access stronger and more stable wind regimes, enabling higher energy yields and superior project economics. It unlocks new wind frontiers by converting previously unviable sites into commercially attractive opportunities, significantly expanding the addressable market for wind energy.

The current project scope includes the supply, erection, commissioning and maintenance of 21 next-generation S175 wind turbine generators (WTGs) to be installed in Bijapur, Karnataka.

Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman, Suzlon Group, said, “Sunsure began their wind energy journey with us and has now grown into one of India’s largest and fast-growing C&I focused renewable energy providers. We are proud to support their growth as our partnership deepens across geographies -from Karnataka to now two orders in Maharashtra and technology from our maiden project on a 2.1 MW platform, to scaling on our 3 MW platform, and now becoming the launch customer for our next-generation 5 MW S175 turbine. We value their continued trust in our technology and execution capabilities.”

Manish Mehta, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer, Sunsure Energy, said, “Our strategy is centred on meeting the need for firm, reliable clean energy driven by India’s accelerated electrification and an expanded manufacturing footprint powered by data centres, GCCs, advanced manufacturing, electric mobility. This order is a precise strategic choice as the $175 is purpose-built for firm and dispatchable power, enabling seamless integration into hybrid and Round-The-Clock solutions. It feeds into our ambition of being a 10 GW platform by 2030 and Suzion’s three decades of execution across India gives us full confidence in the partnership.”

Ajay Kapur, Chief Executive Officer, Suzlon Group, said, “I am confident that this project will become a case study in effective energy generation and project economics. Developing 400.8 MW with Sunsure Energy in a short span of 14 months reflects not only the pace at which India’s C&I renewable market is scaling, but also the deep trust our customers place in Suzion’s technology, execution and innovation.”
