Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) received board approval to invest ₹6,500 crore to establish a 10 GW photovoltaic ingot and wafer manufacturing facility. The project will be developed in two phases of 5 GW each, likely at a greenfield site in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, with an estimated payback period of five years. This strategic expansion into upstream manufacturing allows Tata Power to achieve backward integration, significantly reducing reliance on Chinese imports while aligning with India’s ALMM framework to strengthen the domestic solar supply chain.

PM Modi to visit BJP HQ at 6:30PM today.

Pixxel🤝Sarvam

Two of India's best #Tech #Startups have joined hands to bring sovereign #AI into orbit aboard India’s first orbital data centre satellite, a pathfinder mission bringing datacenter-class GPUs and high-performance remote sensing together in space.

An orbital data center satellite is a spacecraft that carries server hardware (like GPUs and storage) in Earth orbit instead of on the ground.

Its significance: Space provides free solar power, natural vacuum cooling, and the ability to process huge volumes of Earth-observation data (like Pixxel's hyperspectral imagery) right there in orbit.

This cuts downlink costs, enables real-time AI inference, and supports sovereign edge computing—as in this India pathfinder with SarvamAI. It's a big step toward scalable space-based infrastructure. 🚀

Historic day in Indian Politics nevertheless.
