In cooperation with Startup India on Motor Drive Design Challenge for
solar pumps Bangalore, India– 15 January 2021– Infineon Technologies, a globe leader in semiconductors, today announced the beginning of its ‘Infineon Solar Pump Motor Drive Challenge 2021 ′ campaign to encourage budget-friendly and also trusted solar powered irrigation systems for farmers– design and manufactured locally. Organized in partnership with Startup India, AGNIi- housed under Invest India; and in partnership with Avnet India, the program invites the market, SMEs and also Startups to get involved as well as compete for the very best layout in motor drive option for solar pumps.ADVERTISEMENT India is an agrarian country with almost16 percent added to its GDP using agriculture, and even more than 41 percent of the country’s labor force utilized in this sector
. An excellent benefit for the environment, enablement of solar pumps throughout the nation will certainly decrease the concern on grid facilities, decrease dependence on imported crude and also enhance farmers ‘livelihood. India’s farming is mainly based on diesel powered pumps which add to climbing emmisions and greenhouse gases. Current pump manufacturing produces typical irrigation pumps however microelectronics is still new to this market. Solar pump makers count on abroad providers for drives, hampering accumulation of neighborhood skills and also environment. To reverse the impacts, it is integral to develop power reliable and also expense efficient motor drive options for pumps in your area.” Developing viable services for solar pump electric motor drives will certainly make it possible for local manufacturers in India to decrease overall dependency on imports. With a total ecological community in area, India has the prospective to become a worldwide lead in the solar pump industry,”claimed Vivek Mahajan, Vice President & Division Head for Industrial Power Control, Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific. He additionally added,”Besides supporting the Government of India’s countrywide’Atmanirbhar Bharat ‘,’Make In India’&’PM-KUSUM ‘efforts, we are making life much easier as well as greener with microelectronics from Infineon.”Registrations are open up until 14 March 2021, post which chose registrants will certainly have an additional month to send a style idea. In the final round, 10 shortlisted participants create a functioning remedy, with assistance from Infineon and companions, as well as will offer to the jury comprising of elderly administration from Infineon. Apart
from appealing honors, the champion will certainly get a possibility to access the quick growing pump drive market with collaborating with leading market players to more create their product for manufacturing. Infineon has actually been proactively involving with the start-up and entrepreneur environment in India considering that 2017. Over the previous few years, the business has actually partnered with the Atal Innovation Mission(AIM )at Niti Aayog and also various incubators throughout India consisting of Electropreneur Park, NSRCEL as well as AIC-Sangam to promote and nurture appealing start-ups as well as drive tomorrow’s services resolving some crucial societal
issues like environment change.Most just recently, Infineon has been actively funding technology-based health care remedies created by premier institutes to make it possible for India to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. http://www.infineon.com/designchallenge2021
