விண்வெளியே எதிர்காலம் மற்றும் இந்தியா அதில் நுழைவதால், இளம் மனதைக் கவரும் மற்றும் அவர்களின் பலத்தை விண்வெளித் துறையில் சேர்ப்பதற்கான ஒரு பார்வை எங்களிடம் உள்ளது.நாங்கள் ஐந்தாவது இடத்தில் இருந்தாலும், பொருளாதாரத்தைப் பொறுத்தவரையில் நாங்கள் எப்போதும் முதலிடத்தில் இருக்கிறோம், பெரிய பணிகளில் எவ்வளவு சிக்கனமாக வேலை செய்ய முடிகிறது.ரோட்டரி உறுப்பினர்கள் மற்றும் மாணவர்களுடன் பகிர்ந்து கொள்ளப்பட்ட அனுபவங்கள் மற்றும் இந்திய விண்வெளியின் எதிர்காலம் பற்றி இன்றைய உரை அதிகமாக இருந்தது. மகரிஷி வித்யா மந்திர் மாணவர்கள் அமர்வில் கலந்து கொண்டு பல கேள்விகளை முன்வைத்தனர்.நாட்டிற்கு அதிகமான விஞ்ஞானிகள் தேவை என்று நான் அவர்களிடம் கேட்டுக் கொண்ட ஒரு விஷயம், 'மேக் இன் இந்தியா' என்பதை வலியுறுத்தியது. நமது வரவிருக்கும் பணி, நமது பண்டைய கால நினைவுகளை மீண்டும் கொண்டு வருவதற்கான 'விண்வெளி ரிக்ஷா' ஆகும்.சந்திராயன்-II திட்டத்தில் தொழில்நுட்பப் பிழை (மென்பொருள் பிழை) ஏற்பட்டது, அது இப்போது சரிசெய்யப்பட்டு, 2023 ஆம் ஆண்டு ஜூலை 12 ஆம் தேதி ஸ்ரீஹரி கோட்டாவில் உள்ள சதீஷ் தவான் விண்வெளி மையத்தில் இருந்து சந்திரயான்-III ஏவுவதற்கு தயாராக உள்ளது. அந்த பணியின் வெற்றியை நான் மிகவும் ஆவலுடன் எதிர்பார்க்கிறேன்

Ather Energy introduces a Buyback Program on

 Key announcements made in the meet

• Ather Energy introduces a Buyback Program on the Ather 450X

• Assured buyback of INR 85,000* for the Ather 450X at the end of 3 years
• Also improves purchase-enabling & ownership solutions for the Ather 450X
• Price of the Ather 450 Plus slashed

Ather Energy introduces a Buyback Program on the Ather 450X

• Assured buyback of INR 85,000* for the Ather 450X at the end of 3 years
• Also improves purchase-enabling & ownership solutions for the Ather 450X
• Price of the Ather 450 Plus slashed

Ather Energy is introducing a first-of-its-kind program in the EV category in India, an ‘Assured Buyback’ program for the Ather 450X. Ather Energy is guaranteeing a buyback for the Ather 450X at INR 85,000*, at the end of 3 years.

One of India’s few “Make in India” EV manufacturers, Ather Energy has built its own li-ion battery packs and an overall robust platform in the Ather 450 product line. The reliability of the product line has been tested since 2018 in Bengaluru & later in Chennai, and on seeing the high consistency in performance, Ather Energy has launched a unique buyback plan. The high reliability of the product will ensure that the scooters will command a strong value in the resale market, as witnessed by existing owners of Ather 450.

 

The buyback program is another bold move from Ather Energy, in it's endeavor to accelerate EV adoption in the country. With initiatives like Ather Grid, EV focused experience centres and a highly engaged owner Forum, Ather Energy has gone much beyond building just scooters.

Aside from the new buyback program, Ather Energy has also improved some of the purchase enabling solutions for the launch of Ather 450X. Post the success of the lease model in Bengaluru and Chennai, Ather Energy will be extending the same for the Ather 450X across all cities. The model allows the customers to access a fully loaded Ather 450X at a lower price point & a nominal monthly fee. In the current economic context, this might be significant for a segment of customers who are unwilling to opt for a full purchase. 

To reduce the overall cost of ownership of the Ather 450X, Bengaluru consumers can exchange their old petrol ICE 2-wheeler and others can opt for low interest rate loans from multiple partners that Ather Energy has tie-ups with. Ather Energy has also reduced the ex-showroom price of the Ather 450 Plus model, which can now be purchased at INR 139,990.

Ather’s subscription plans have also been revised and made more flexible in order to match the usage of the consumer. The plans now offer 4 independent packs that the customer can choose from based on their usage, now starting at INR 125 per month. These include Ather Connect Lite (for all basic connected features), Ather Connect Pro, Ather Service Lite (periodic maintenance, RSA & labour) and Ather Service Pro (premium service experience). Meanwhile, charging at public charging points, Ather Grid, will be free until March 2021.

Quote by Tarun Mehta, Co-founder & CEO, Ather Energy: "Our faith in our product line has allowed us to create innovative solutions to make the switch to electric, easier - whether it is purchase or ownership. We believe Ather Energy's electric scooters are going to have a fantastic value for years and will keep improving with new features which we will roll out as over the air upgrades. And to strengthen that assurance we are announcing a resale guarantee.”

Bosch inaugurates fully automated production lines

Bosch inaugurates fully automated production lines for protective face masks in India

• Bosch India’s in-house special-purpose machinery unit will manufacture up to 100,000 protective face masks a day

„  Masks will be used for associates as well as community distribution

„  This is one of our key steps towards honouring our INR 50 crore commitment to combat COVID-19 pandemic

In the fight against coronavirus, Bosch has designed its own line of protective face masks. Bosch India inaugurated its fully-automated in-house production line at its Naganathapura location in Bengaluru. With this, the company aims to manufacture nearly 100,000 masks a day to protect its associates and contribute to the protection of the community at large in India. In doing so, Bosch is helping to relieve the burden on the market. The line was virtually inaugurated with active participation from both Central as well as State Government officials.

Globally, Bosch will produce over 500,000 (half a million) protective face masks per day across five fully automated production lines at four Bosch locations, including the Naganathapura plant in India. These mask production lines have been designed by Bosch’s special-purpose machinery unit and will be available for usage to the workforce at Bosch in India as well. About 3,000,000 of these surgical masks will be supplied free of cost to second level COVID -19 such as healthcare workers, police, municipal corporation workers, ASHA and Anaganwadi workers as well as NGOs. The three-layered masks impede the spread of pathogens from the wearer’s nose and throat with a bacterial filtration efficiency greater than 95 percent. To ensure that these masks are not sold, each mask carries the Bosch logo at the bottom corner.

Speaking at the inauguration, Mr. Soumitra Bhattacharya, Managing Director, Bosch Limited & President, Bosch Group in India said: “At Bosch, we have always kept safety and security of our asscociates at the forefront across all our operations. This initiative is one of our key steps towards honouring our INR 50 crore commitment to combat COVID-19 pandemic using our innovative technologies and high competence in manufacturing.”

Bosch will leverage its mask manufacturing lines set up in Germany, Mexico, and India to cater to associate protection and regional requirements, effectively extending its COVID-19 protection initiative to the world. This will significantly boost the Indian government’s ‘Make in India’ campaign. Overall, by the end of June, the production volume of the five lines is set to exceed ten million masks a month.
