According to the company, the order falls under L&T's "large" category, which typically ranges between Rs 2,500 crore and Rs 5,000 crore in value.Pratap Technocrats makes a bold transition into a green energy business with a high-value battery storage deal signed for NTPC Limited. The Gurugram-based company has bagged a Rs 776.13 Cr deal from NTPC Limited to deploy a 570MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). As per the deal, Pratap Technocrats will deploy 320MWh BESS at the NTPC Gadarwara power plant and 250MWh BESS at the NTPC Khargone power plant, strengthening grid reliability at these two key thermal power hubs.This move marks a significant strategic shift not just for Pratap Technocrats but also for India's Green energy ecosystem. In a major boost to India's military capabilities, Bharat Electronics Limited has secured a Rs 1,476 crore Army air defense deal to enhance the Indian Army's operational readiness. The Bharat Electronics Rs 1,476 crore Army air defense contract focuses on upgrading critical systems that detect, track, and respond to aerial threats with greater speed and accuracy.The contract involves supplying advanced air defense control and communication systems designed to improve coordination across multiple units. These systems act as the backbone of battlefield awareness, helping forces identify incoming threats such as drones, aircraft, and missiles in real time. By strengthening command and control networks, the project is expected to significantly improve response efficiency during high-pressure situations. India has cleared semiconductor projects worth 3,936 crore to strengthen electronics manufacturing and domestic chip manufacturing, marking another important step in the country's push to become a global semiconductor hub. The Union Cabinet on Tuesday approved two new semiconductor units in Gujarat under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), with the projects expected to create over 2,200 skilled jobs and support the growing demand for advanced electronics and chip technologies.The approved projects include a compound semiconductor fabrication and advanced display manufacturing facility by Crystal Matrix Limited in Dholera, along with an OSAT facility by Suchi Semicon Private Limited in Surat. The government said these investments will help reduce India's dependence on imported semiconductor components while strengthening the country's electronics sector. Vedanta Chairman Anil Agarwal has called for a stronger national push toward India's resource self-reliance, saying the country must reduce its dependence on imported minerals, oil, and other critical resources. In a recent LinkedIn post, Agarwal Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured a major order for a coal-to-ammonium nitrate project in Odisha, marking another significant step in India's push towards coal gasification and chemical manufacturing. The project has been awarded by Bharat Coal Gasification and Chemicals Ltd (BCGCL), a joint venture between Coal PRATAP TECHNOCRATS WINS 570MWH BESS ORDER FOR NTPC GREEN ENERGYBHARAT ELECTRONICS WINS RS 1,476 CRORE ARMY AIR DEFENCE DEALL&T WINS MAJOR ODISHA COAL-TO-AMMONIUM NITRATE PROJECT ORDERINDIA CLEARS RS 3,936 CRORE CHIP PROJECTS TO STRENGTHEN MANUFACTURINGANIL AGARWAL URGES NATIONAL PUSH FOR INDIA'S RESOURCE SELF-RELIANCE
