Kaer expands operations in six major cities in India

Kaer, a Global Cooling as a Service (CaaS) provider headquartered in Singapore, is expanding its operations in six major cities in India – Bengaluru, Gurugram, Noida, Chennai, Hyderabad and Mumbai. Kaer designs, builds, and operates cooling systems to support Asia’s growing demand for cooling, particularly for commercial and industrial buildings. The company is expanding aggressively across the market, tapping into India’s high demand for centralised cooling, which accounts for about 57% of the country’s energy requirements.1 With a contracted pipeline of projects worth over $250 million across Asia, Kaer’s CaaS model delivers cooling to mission critical facilities to support their operations and with a focus on renewable energy and sustainable operations, saves over 25,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year. Under Kaer’s CaaS offering, customers simply dictate the cooling conditions they require and Kaer delivers that as and when needed by the building. As a part of expansion, Kaer has appointed Govindan Raghavan as India’s Managing Director. He will be, responsible for Kaer’s customer portfolio growth in India, and for managing the on-ground team providing end to end customer support. Prior to this, he has held several senior leadership positions at Indian and global organisations. He led Carrier in India as its President & Wholetime Director, Ingram Micro as its Managing Director, NIIT Limited as its Chief Executive of Career learning business and Bhartiya Urban as its Chief Executive Officer.

Digital manufacturing for aerospace

Efficient production when failure is not an option Aerospace original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) must strive to manufacture aircraft that can travel sustainably for longer distances and support net zero goals. They must produce quality components with tight tolerances from difficult-to-machine materials like HRSAs, while also keeping production cost-effective and error-free — but how? This is where digitalisation and big data come into play. Here, Francis Richt, Digital Machining Business Manager at the metal cutting tool specialist Sandvik Coromant, explains how combined digital and tooling solutions will be essential for error-free production in tomorrow’s aircraft manufacturing industry. That includes its own CoroPlus Machining Insights, CoroPlus Tool Library and Silent Tools™ Plus process control solutions, which enable users to monitor their machining process and secure a successful output. The aerospace industry faces unique manufacturing challenges. The complexity of the component shapes and structures, combined with the varying tolerances required for different components can make the production process demanding and costly. The nature of aerospace — and its strict quality assurance rules — also means that component production must be error-free. To optimise manufacturing, proper planning and preparation informed by accurate and reliable data is absolutely essential. To support aerospace OEMs, Sandvik Coromant offer several solutions to improve machining processes and to ensure quality and reliability of components. An increasing number of industries are incorporating digital technologies into their manufacturing operations. Digital tools and the data that they can generate on key parameters can give a level of intuition and insight that traditional machining lacks. This is particularly key in heavily regulated industries such as aerospace where accuracy and efficiency are crucial at every stage. The Sandvik Coromant CoroPlus Tool Library is a web-based software that allows users to build and manage their tool library and tool assemblies from standard data on over […]

China manufacturing picks up

In China factory activity unexpectedly expanded in February as new orders improved, pointing to some resilience in the world’s second-largest economy even as downward pressure builds and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine heightens global uncertainty. The official manufacturing Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) registered 50.2 in February, remaining above the 50-point mark, which separates growth from contraction, and picking up a touch from 50.1 in January, data from the National Bureau of Statistics (BS) showed on Tuesday. It was thought the PMI would to ease to 49.9.

India fiscal deficit may narrow in 2022

The ongoing Russia and Ukraine conflict may present India with an opportunity to import commodities and oil at low prices via a rupee-ruble trade mechanism from Russia. Against this backdrop, GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company, forecasts India’s fiscal deficit as percentage of GDP to decline marginally to 5.3% in 2022 compared to 5.7% in 2021. Given India’s neutral stance on Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia is offering oil and other commodities at discounted prices to India. Amid the skyrocketing global oil prices, this will provide relief on the fiscal front as India imports around 80% of crude from other countries. Gargi Rao, Economic Research Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “India’s attempt to diversify its import sources will tend to reduce financial burden on the government thereby reducing the risk of high import bill. Moreover, cheaper crude may bring down the current cost of production and help cool off inflationary pressures.” Meanwhile, in the short-term, Indian traders may feel the pinch of higher oil and gas prices along with delays in shipment. Retail inflation is on the rise in India due to rise in prices of fuel and edible oils. GlobalData forecasts India’s inflation to rise to 5.2% in 2022 compared to 5.1% in 2021. However, oil price shocks might wane out with easing of supply bottlenecks and demand adjustment in medium-term. GlobalData forecasts the Indian economy to grow by 7.6% in 2022. Rao continues: “Both India and Russia are exploring the possibility of using China’s currency yuan as a reference currency to value the rupee-ruble trade mechanism, which would aid a two-way trade. By setting up a new trade mechanism, it will reduce the dependence on US dollars and makes India less vulnerable to sanctions.” Rao concludes: “High government expenditure has been a cause of concern for India since the start […]
