The group Chairman Dr. Subhash Chandra moderated a panel discussion on the smart cities during the event, Secretary of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Amitabh Kant unveiled the Essel smart city frame work.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for transfer of critical technology in wind and solar energy was signed by the Indian company  at Hannover Messe 2015 with FeCon GmbH, a subsidiary company of Wind and Sun Technology GmbH while a similar pact was also inked with Passavant Energy and Environment (PE&E) GmbH for Mega scale waste-water treatment projects in India.

As per the agreement, FeCon GmbH will assist Essel in developing and manufacturing  wind turbines in India along with power station and grid equipment for solar and wind energy to suit Indian conditions.

On the other hand, the MoU with PE&E will provide Essel with access to groundbreaking technologies and processes in municipal wastewater, sludge, water and industrial wastewater treatment. PE&E is known worldwide for its sludge digestion technology.

The Essel Group is in Hannover to showcase its Indian Smart City module for building integrated, inclusive, innovative and sustainable smart cities and is part of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s delegation to Germany. The company has already received an overwhelming response to its stall at the Hannover Messe 2015 trade fair and recently inked pacts with two leading German firms to develop green energy projects and smart cities in India.

Ashok Agarwal, CEO, Essel Infraprojects, said, “We are glad to announce our alliance with Schneider, FeConGmBH and Passavant Energy and Environment GmbH. We believe that this will put us on the fast track in delivering on our commitment to produce 12500 MW of solar energy and 4000 MW of wind energy in India in the coming year as also in establishing Essel as a major player in the 7.5 billion Euros market for waste water management in India. Our MoU with German partners will also provide a fillip to the ‘Make in India’ movement envisaged by our Prime Minister and will put Essel at the forefront in realising his vision for Smart Cities in India.”

Essel also looks forward to export the surplus renewable energy as the tie-up shapes up.
