CSIR-CECRI

Inaugurated and walked around the “200 MWp Automated Solar Module Manufacturing Unit” at Central Electronics Limited #CEL, #Sahibabad, #UttarPradesh, along with Director General #CSIR Dr. N. Kalaiselvi, CMD Sh Chetan Jain and other dignitaries. The state-of-the-art facility reflects India’s growing capabilities in clean energy manufacturing and supports the vision of PM Shri @narendramodi for self-reliance in the renewable energy sector through advanced solar technology and innovation.

Inaugurated " 200 MW Solar Module Manufacturing Line Unit developed by Central Electronics Limited #CEL, at Sahibabad, U.P. A striking outcome of Public-Private sector collaboration. "The operationalisation of this 200 MW Solar Module Manufacturing Line is a major milestone for India’s clean energy ecosystem and the facility reflects the country’s growing confidence in indigenous manufacturing and renewable energy expansion. National target of net-zero emissions by 2070 has been set by PM @narendramodi and India is rapidly expanding its capabilities across multiple non-fossil energy domains including solar energy, wind energy, nuclear energy and ocean-based energy systems. CEL’s been a historic contribution to India’s renewable energy journey. India’s first solar cell was manufactured here in 1977 and the country’s first solar plant was also established by the organisation in 1979. Despite such pioneering achievements, CEL’s contribution did not receive the recognition it deserved, but in recent years the institution is gaining renewed national visibility and relevance. CEL’s transformation from an institution once on the verge of disinvestment into a profit-making, revenue-generating Mini Ratna enterprise is a remarkable example of institutional revival".

#विज्ञानTech2026 Exhibition to mark the #NationalTechnologyDay at #BRIC–NII, #NewDelhi —showcased India’s technological prowess. With 100+ selected #StartUps and pioneering innovations across biotechnology, earth sciences and emerging technologies, the event vindicates the strength of ‘Whole of Government’ + ‘Whole of Society’ approach.

My Address on #NationalTechnologyDay: The "Gist" : "The day is observed to commemorate the Pokhran explosion on this day in 1988. It has been a marvellously progressive journey over the last 28 years, but equally significant is the fact that a major share of this transformation was witnessed only over the last one decade. From 350, India rose to over 2 lakh #StartUps and achieved Rank 3 in the world, in the last one decade. From Rank 80, India jumped to Rank 38 in Global Innovation Index in the last one decade. Patents rose to globally Rank 6 in the last one decade. Publications rose to globally Rank 3 in the last one decade. PhDs rose from Rank 7 to globally Rank 3 in the last one decade. #WISE_KIRAN like schemes for women, NIDHI for StartUps, STI Hubs for SCs STs ...all in the last one decade. Quantum Mission, AI Mission, Hydrogen Mission, Biopharma Shakti, #BioE3 Policy, SHANTI Act, Space reforms, ANRF, RDI Fund...all in the last one decade. Because, we never lacked human resource, but the support from the political hierarchy came only after Sh @narendemodi took over as PM".
