Tata Motors ties up with two firms to expand charging infra for electric CVs

New Delhi, Dec 9 () Power and energy management firm Delta Electronics expects its electric vehicle charging business in India to grow around 50 per cent per annum in the next three years with more car makers bringing their EVs into the country, according to a senior company official.
The company, which has so far installed over 700 charging stations in India, is currently in the process of setting up of its third plant at Krishnagiri in Tamil Nadu as part of its USD 500 million investment programme till 2026.
"This year, we have supplied close to over 700 EV chargers of different types and different capacities. We see that in the initial few years there will be minimum 50 per cent growth at least and market will evolve in three years," Delta Electronics India Business Head, EV Charging Solutions, Akshaye Barbuddhe told .
He said the EV charging ecosystem is only expected to grow with more and more automobile manufacturers bringing or planning to introduce their electric vehicles in the country.
"There is a reason to it. Three-four years back there were very limited number electric car models, today at least you have four," he said, adding thus one of the segments of the electric vehicle (EV) market is being developed.
Currently homegrown auto majors Mahindra &amp; Mahindra and Tata Motors have electric cars. While Hyundai launched is electric SUV Kona in July, MG Motor India is slated to bring ZS EV in January in the market.
While car market leader Maruti Suzuki has been testing a fleet of 50 electric cars based on its WagonR model platform, it has stated that it would not commercially launch electric car for public use citing lack of infrastructure and government support. Originally, the company had planned to launch it in 2020.
"When more EVs are launched, it adds to the fuel," he said, adding e-mobility would also bring sharing of charging infrastructure in future.
Asked about revenue targets from India, Barbuddhe said for the company till this year there was no formal business "but from next year we have a formal budget we have to chase in the market revenue of USD 10 million".
He said the company has committed investment of USD 500 million by up to 2026. Of this USD 200 million is on setting up of the first phase of Krishnagiri plant and R&amp;D lab. Spread over 125 acres, the Krishnagiri units will be developed in five phases, which include SEZ as well.
Delta Electronics has two other factories at Rudrapur and Hosur.
"As of now we have a capacity of 100 EV chargers per month, which we can ramp up to 500 in three months time. We have no constraints but we will do it as per market demand," Barbuddhe said.
Recently, the company introduced its next generation charging solutions -- DC City Charger and AC Max -- that will cater to the need of public charging infrastructure.
It has also unveiled its E-Mobility Tech Experience Center conceptualised to provide an industry platform to support all types of ratings and configurations and become an enabler in understanding the ecosystem of EV charging solutions.
Globally, Delta has been active in the e-mobility space for the past seven years with dedicated manufacturing facilities in Slovakia, Taiwan and China. RKL BAL

In a lawsuit filed at District Court in Texas in the US, Ericsson alleged that the South Korean tech giant failed to adhere to the fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms and conditions. Samsung's FRAND commitment is a contract between Samsung and <keyword id="1296450" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="European-Telecommunications-Standards-Institute">European Telecommunications Standards Institute</keyword>, Ericsson claimed in the complaint. "The application of the FRAND commitment in this instance is in relation to various global cross-licences that cover both parties' patents for 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G cellular standards," reports ZDNet. "Samsung's breach has caused Ericsson to suffer actual damages, such as Ericsson's costs and expenses in pursuing futile negotiations with Samsung in an amount to be determined at trial. In addition, Ericsson is further entitled to obtain specific performance under French law," the lawsuit read. Samsung was yet to react on the Ericsson lawsuit. The Swedish company said it is seeking to attain a declaration that it has complied with its FRAND commitment, and that Samsung has not. With several of the licensing deals set to expire next year and negotiations still ongoing, Ericsson said the payment of IP royalties may be delayed. "In the event of delayed royalty payments and the potential costs of litigation, Ericsson predicted its operating income could decline by SEK 1-1.5 billion per quarter from 2021 onwards".

Here are some of the best options</li></ul> The transition from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric cars has seen many manufacturers join the EV bandwagon in the past few years. However, there is still a gap between ICE cars and EVs that strong-hybrid vehicles aim to bridge. Hybrid cars can run on an ICE-based engine and an electric motor powered by a battery unit, providing decent performance and superior mileage compared to petrol and diesel engines. Furthermore, a hybrid car can be a perfect option for those worried about the early adaption of electric vehicles. In 2022, a range of new hybrid cars was introduced, with prices lower than ever. If you plan to purchase a hybrid car in 2023, we suggest you look at the hybrid cards mentioned below from brands such as Honda, MG, Maruti Suzuki, and more. <h3>Mileage and price compared</h3> <table

Sensex, Nifty50 open higher amid mixed cues in US and Asian markets – Airtel, Dabur, Delhivery among stocks to watch out for

American AirlinesAmerican Airlines Boeing 757-200.The US Department of Homeland Security's laptop ban will likely expand to include incoming non-stop flights from Europe in the near future. In fact, Trump administration officials are expected to meet with their European counterparts in Brussels on Wednesday to discuss exactly that.Officially, the DHS has not made a final decision regarding an expansion of the ban that currently affects 10 airports in the Middle East and North Africa.However, aviation analyst and airline sources tell Business Insider that such a ban is inevitable and could go into effect within a matter of a few weeks.According <a href="https://twitter.com/SpoxDHS/status/862714365564375040/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">to the DHS</a>, the need for the prohibition of all electronic devices larger than a cell phone from entering the cabin is due to intelligence that suggests terrorists have developed techniques to smuggle explosives in such devices. So, with an expanded new ban looming, what does this all mean for airlines, airports, and most importantly, the passengers?"If the electronics ban is expanded, we're in for a summer of international travel hell," airline industry analyst Henry Harteveldt told Business Insider in an email. For one thing, the scope of a laptop ban on flights coming from Europe dwarfs that of the Middle Eastern/North African ban that affects 50 daily flights operated by nine airlines.According to a report issued by airfare forecasting app<a href="http://www.hopper.com/research/the-impact-of-the-potential-trans-atlantic-electronics-ban" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Hopper</a>, a European ban would affect an average of 400 non-stop flights per day from 49 airports operated by 53 airlines.As a result, a policy change affecting such a massive number of international route networks will be exceedingly complex.Adding to the complexity of the situation is the fact that when the ban is confirmed, it will be implemented "swiftly and suddenly" to head off any potential terrorist acts, Airways senior business analyst Vinay Bhaskara told Business Insider. This means airlines have virtually no guidance from the Trump Administration and remain in limbo until the ban is announced. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/39551170@N02/11502548513/in/photolist-iyntYm-cgeg2f-eemSSe-aASw9u-ah8VXB-iwryVX-amp6eD-d1LP6y-budwHn-iwrrzN-fArPdK-aSxzRZ-aAVE1K-8X2spD-8BhDmh-7vCnd2-dXCKxt-aLKK6p-9dWZjz-dHYBut-aASBX3-bJfCNx-bCDXFA-aASCbQ-aopKWf-bF52qi-bf28tr-b8iDLV-7v21da-ajtmVN-7vFg2C-amp6CM-amrKMq-6L4en8-cpE2H7-7wXxUe-97GVXV-pEDd1A-oX5ZNx-bixQTp-8HDA88-fsigCZ-dNaqqe-dhDvch-7zkEJn-7v1wNe-bK7zwR-amrEEb-aWdB8k-e1uKpz">Flickr/Simon_sees</a>Delta Air Lines Boeing 777-200LR.Thus, airlines and its employees will have very little time to install the new procedures associated with the ban. The resulting "havoc" and hassle caused by the ban for travelers concern Harteveldt."Airports will become zoos. The additional security screening time may require passengers to arrive at airports four or more hours in advance of flights," he told us.As for the affected airlines, most have remained tight lipped about their response planning. However, those that have spoken with us have said they have a contingency plan in place ready to be rolled out to customers and employees through direct messaging, news, and social media.For their customers, their message is centered around keeping large electronics at home when it comes time to travel to Europe.At the same time, secure laptop valet and loaner laptops service have also been considered. Customer experience aside, a laptop ban could have a profound effect the airlines from a business perspective."I am concerned an expansion of the ban may wreak extensive financial impact on airlines. If demand falls, some airlines may lay off workers,"Harteveldt said. According to Hopper's chief data scientist Patrick Surry, 80% of the flights affected by an expanded ban are operated by 10 airlines led by Delta, British Airways, United, American, and Lufthansa. British AirwaysBritish Airways first class.Harteveldt's concerns lie with the fact that such a ban will disproportionately affect business travelers - a highly-lucrative customer base airlines flying across the Atlantic need to make ends meet. "These traveler's are often required to keep company-issued electronics with them, and are told not to check laptops or other electronics. As a result, these travelers may cancel trips or their companies may explore chartering aircraft," he told us.However, Bhaskara remains more optimistic about the potential harm the ban may have of airlines. "I don't think we'll see a huge effect in the market for flights traveling between Europe and the US as destinations," he said. "If you're going to Europe for business, you're going to Europe for business because you or your company has significant business interests there. This isn't going to stop you from making plans to travel."LufthansaLufthansa Airbus A380 economy class.But, Bhaskara believes where airlines will see their business suffer are for flights to India and Southeast Asia that connect through Europe. For these flights, customers will likely turn to high quality options from Asia such as Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, ANA, JAL, Asiana, or Korean Air. In addition, China's four major international carriers (Air China, China Eastern, China Southern, and Hainan) have all been heavily discounting their tickets and will snag some of that business as well.With that said, there is a silver lining for travelers headed to South Asia. With this projected decline in demand, Bhaskara expects there will be quite a few good deals to be had. <h3>More from Benjamin Zhang:</h3><ul><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/europe-laptop-ban-expansion-means-consumers-airlines-2017-5" rel="nofollow">Trump will likely expand the laptop ban to Europe - and the effect could be massive (AAL, DAL, UAL)</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/delta-facial-recognition-software-check-bag-lines-2017-5" rel="nofollow">Delta wants to use facial recognition technology to make checking your bags easier (DAL)</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/fastest-cop-police-cars-ford-dodge-chevy-2017-4" rel="nofollow">These are the 10 fastest police cars in America (F, GM, FCAU)</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/us-news-best-car-deals-2017-5" rel="nofollow">US News: These 20 cars are the best deals of 2017 (F, GM, FCAU)</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/rolls-royce-dawn-convertible-review-2017-4" rel="nofollow">Here's what it's like to take a $400,000 Rolls-Royce Dawn convertible on a road trip through New Jersey</a></li></ul> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/why-plane-seats-dont-line-up-with-windows-travel-airlines-manufacturers-legroom-2017-2">Here's why some plane seats don't line up with the windows</a></h3> Please enable Javascript to watch this video
