  • BikeWo Unveils Long-Term Strategy to Build a Full-Stack Mobility and Logistics Platform 

    BikeWo Green Tech Limited has unveiled its long-term strategy to build a full-stack mobility and logistics platform, with capabilities spanning electric mobility, fleet operations, logistics infrastructure, technology and renewable energy.

    The strategic roadmap was presented during the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), where shareholders approved the proposed warrant issue. The Company outlined the rationale behind the strategic initiatives undertaken over the past several months and its plans to build capabilities across multiple layers of India’s rapidly evolving logistics sector.

    As India continues to invest in manufacturing, infrastructure and supply chain modernisation, the country’s logistics sector is emerging as one of the key enablers of long-term economic growth. Against this backdrop, BikeWo aims to position itself as an integrated platform serving the broader mobility and logistics ecosystem.

    The Company’s long-term strategy focuses on developing capabilities across electric mobility, fleet ownership and management, technology-enabled logistics operations, warehousing, multimodal logistics, renewable energy integration and strategic partnerships. These capabilities are being developed as complementary components of a unified operating platform, enabling greater integration, operational efficiency and long-term scalability.

    As part of this strategy, BikeWo has announced multiple strategic collaborations in recent months across electric mobility, solar-assisted transportation, rural mobility and aviation logistics. These initiatives are intended to strengthen the Company’s capabilities across key segments of the logistics value chain and support the execution of its long-term platform strategy.

    The proposed capital infusion is expected to provide the Company with enhanced financial flexibility to pursue strategic opportunities, strengthen operational capabilities, invest in technology and infrastructure, support fleet expansion and evaluate value-accretive acquisitions aligned with its long-term vision.

    Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Hiten Pal Saklani, Chief Executive Officer, BikeWo Green Tech Limited, said: “India’s logistics sector is emerging as one of the country’s most important economic growth engines. At BikeWo, we are building an integrated mobility and logistics platform designed to participate across the logistics value chain. By bringing together mobility, fleet operations, technology, infrastructure and strategic partnerships, we are creating capabilities that reinforce one another, strengthen our platform and support sustainable long-term value creation for our shareholders.”

    The Company reaffirmed that disciplined execution, prudent capital allocation, robust corporate governance and operational excellence will remain central to its growth strategy as it expands its integrated mobility and logistics platform.

  • WattPower Strengthens Its Sustainability Commitment with the Launch of WattPower Foundation

    WattPower Systems, a leading company in the renewable energy industry, announced the official launch of its CSR arm, WattPower Foundation, marking a new chapter in the company’s commitment to creating a positive impact beyond clean energy. Guided by its Wired for Good philosophy, the Foundation will work towards building stronger communities through initiatives that improve access, create opportunities and bring lasting change.

    The Foundation will focus on four key areas that lie at the heart of its vision: women’s empowerment, education, menstrual health and animal welfare. These focus areas reflect the belief that meaningful change begins by standing beside those who need support and creating opportunities that help people lead better lives.

    Announcing the launch, Smriti Agrawal, Chairperson, WattPower Foundation, shared her vision by saying, “The WattPower Foundation is deeply personal to me because every cause we support comes from something I have witnessed or experienced. Over the years, I realised that meaningful change often begins with simple acts of care and the willingness to stand beside those who need us the most.

    Through this Foundation, we hope to create opportunities that help people move forward with confidence and dignity. If we can make even a small difference in someone’s life, we believe it is a responsibility worth taking.”

    The Foundation has already begun supporting initiatives across its four focus areas. In partnership with Round Table India, it has contributed to the construction of classrooms that provide children with a better learning environment. Together with Project Baala and SP Seva Sansthan, it has worked to improve menstrual health awareness and access to reusable sanitary napkins for women and girls. Through its partnership with Friendicoes, the Foundation has also supported the care and feeding of stray animals, reflecting its commitment to compassion in all its forms.

    As the Foundation grows, it will continue to work with government bodies, educational institutions, implementation partners and community organisations to expand its reach and create lasting impact across India.

  • KP Group Chairman Dr. Faruk G. Patel Leads High-Level Indian Industry Delegation to Saudi Arabia, Strengthening India-Saudi Economic Partnership

    KP Group, a leading Indian conglomerate with a strong presence in renewable energy, solar power, green hydrogen and sustainable development, has led a high-level Indian industry delegation to Saudi Arabia as part of a strategic initiative to deepen bilateral investment, industrial cooperation and trade ties between the two nations.

    The delegation was headed by Dr. Faruk G. Patel, Chairman and Managing Director, KP Group. The visit is aimed at exploring new avenues of collaboration in investment, energy, green technology and other key economic sectors between India and Saudi Arabia.

    The delegation was received in Riyadh by Dr. Suhel Khan, Ambassador of India to Saudi Arabia, who welcomed the Indian industrialists and held detailed discussions on the rapidly strengthening economic relationship and emerging trade opportunities between the two countries. According to the Indian Embassy in Riyadh, the meeting placed particular emphasis on business-to-business (B2B) partnerships, investment collaboration and giving fresh momentum to long-term economic ties, with both sides agreeing that growing private-sector cooperation would prove mutually beneficial for both economies in the years ahead.

    “This visit reaffirms the depth of trust between India and Saudi Arabia and the immense promise our partnership holds for the future. As Saudi Arabia advances its Vision 2030 agenda and India accelerates its own clean energy transition, there is a natural convergence of priorities around renewable energy, green hydrogen and sustainable investment. At KP Group, we see this as a timely opportunity to build meaningful, long-term collaborations that go beyond trade, partnerships rooted in shared ambition for a greener, more resilient future for both our nations,” said Dr. Faruk G. Patel, Chairman and MD, KP Group.

    A key area of focus during the visit was ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance)-based investment models, with Hilal ESG Limited working actively to promote sustainability-driven investment between India and Saudi Arabia. Green energy, clean technology and environment-friendly projects are expected to form a core pillar of India-Saudi collaboration in the coming years.

    India-Saudi relations, once centred largely around oil and energy trade, have in recent years expanded into defence, investment, the digital economy, startups, fintech, food security, healthcare, tourism and infrastructure. Regular high-level dialogue and meetings of the India-Saudi Strategic Partnership Council have further accelerated this momentum, with active private-sector participation now reinforcing the partnership.

    This visit could pave the way for new joint ventures, investment agreements and technology partnerships between Indian and Saudi companies, generating employment, investment and innovation in both countries. With India among the world’s fastest-growing major economies and Saudi Arabia one of West Asia’s most influential markets, deepening bilateral cooperation is expected to open new avenues for regional economic stability and global investment.

  • RAYZON Solar and Caelux Partner to Scale Next-Generation Solar Tech for ‘Make in India’ Initiative

    RAYZON Solar Limited (Rayzon Solar), a leading Indian solar manufacturer, and Caelux Corporation (Caelux), a global leader in perovskite solar technology, today announced a monumental five-year, 5 GW partnership to integrate Caelux’s energy-producing solar glass with RAYZON Solar’s advanced TOPCon modules.
