When COVID-19 hit the market in the first half of 2020, headlines all over the world surfaced that vehicle demand decreased drastically. But, within a year, there is another concern based on the supply side. Although the demand suddenly escalated globally, a massive slump of automotive semiconductor production had forced the OEMs to halt the manufacturing units.…
In an effort to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and boost the growth of carbon-neutral vehicles, governments throughout the world are unleashing new initiatives, schemes, and legislation. For instance, USA’s bipartisan infrastructure law is looking for a target of 50 percent of new car sales to be electric by the end of 2030, while the European Climate law is…
Since the 1960s, NASA has relied on an old yet dependable technology for powering the International Space Station (ISS), satellites, and other space vehicles: nickel-hydrogen (Ni-H2) batteries (NHBs). These batteries are revered for their durability, long lifespan, and outstanding safety record, even under the most extreme conditions. Let's explore how these…
During the first quarter of this year, warnings have been issued in terms of heatwaves that posed a serious threat to the country’s electricity generation.

Around ten years back, there was a huge challenge in India in the ESDM and semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem mostly due to lack of proper policies by the government, concentration in the software ecosystem, and most importantly, there is no proper education about the importance of the ecosystem. Now, the government has undertaken various initiatives and unleashed…
India lost the semiconductor growth race during the late 1980s. But, for the past five to six years, the government has unleashed various schemes, initiatives, and educational programs to boost chip fabs and design. Investments are happening, but there are a couple of grave impediments such as lack of proficient workforce and infrastructures. Currently, it is…
Lithium battery systems are increasingly moving to higher capacity and increased voltage levels as the trend toward electrifying mobility, tools, and industrial equipment continues. Though excellent for enhanced mobility and productivity, these higher battery cell counts and voltage levels mean that battery management system (BMS) technology needs to advance to…
Over the past few years, India has escalated its in-house production of electronic products, but in spite of that growth, import of these items, mostly components, continued at the same volume. The picture shows that there are various impediments in the sector, which still needs to be addressed like the companies must manufacture finished goods in large quantities…
