Excited to announce that I have successfully completed my "Lean Six Sigma Green Belt" certification from the Institute for Industrial Performance & Engagement (IIPE India), Quality Growth Services (QGSPL), under the expert guidance of Dr. Sumit Shandilya. This certification has deepened my understanding of key areas like process optimization, waste minimization, and driving operational excellence. I'm now equipped with the skills to make informed, data-driven decisions and generate measurable results. The Lean Six Sigma Green Belt journey, structured around the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) framework, has been incredibly insightful. Define: Learned how to effectively set project objectives and deliverables using tools such as process mapping (CTC-CTP). Measure: Gained proficiency in measuring and analyzing data with tools like Minitab, helping evaluate process capabilities. Analyze: Utilize techniques like root cause analysis and hypothesis testing to diagnose process inefficiencies. Improve: Focused on crafting solutions to address key issues, ensuring waste reduction and process optimization. Control: Acquired knowledge in implementing control charts and plans to ensure long-term success of the improvements. I’m excited to apply these new skills to future projects and contribute to continuous process improvement wherever I go. #LeanSixSigma #GreenBeltCertified #ProcessImprovement #OperationalExcellence #ContinuousImprovement #ProfessionalDevelopment

India has indeed made significant strides in the global ammonia market, with the country signing its first ammonia export deal to Japan. This agreement marks a notable milestone in India's role in the global energy sector, particularly in the context of ammonia's potential as a clean fuel and its importance in the energy transition.🍀 Ammonia, traditionally used as a fertilizer, is increasingly being explored as a hydrogen carrier and a potential low-carbon fuel. This deal not only opens up new avenues for India's ammonia producers but also supports Japan’s efforts to diversify its energy sources and reduce its carbon footprint.🌎🌙. This development is part of a broader trend where countries are forming partnerships to secure energy resources while advancing sustainability goals. It will be interesting to see how this partnership evolves and whether it leads to further collaborations in the energy and industrial sectors.🏭✈️

Starting September 1, 2024, Larsen & Toubro will establish a distinct business unit for Renewable EPC, separate from its Power Transmission & Distribution operations. The transition to clean energy is gaining momentum, fueled by advancements in renewable technology and the imperative to reduce carbon emissions in the fight against climate change. The integration of solar and wind power is set to expand, calling for a hybrid approach that merges different energy sources and storage solutions to ensure a dependable energy supply. Forward-looking strategies such as capacity and flexibility markets are projected to surface as part of this evolution. India is forging ahead in renewable energy, focusing on boosting non-fossil fuel electricity production and fostering green employment opportunities under the Viksit Bharat vision. Plans for capacity expansion by Renewable Energy Implementing Agencies, including initiatives like Green Energy Corridors, are in progress to support this goal. The Middle East's abundant solar irradiance and available land make it a prime location for solar energy projects, while investments are on the rise in regions like SAARC, ASEAN, CIS, and Africa. Recognized globally as a leader in the renewable energy sector, Larsen & Toubro is poised to navigate and contribute to the dynamic landscape of sustainable energy solutions. https://lnkd.in/dwMkRshR

India aims to establish 18,336 compressed natural gas (CNG) stations across the country by 2032 as part of its city gas distribution (CGD) network expansion, Suresh Gopi, Minister of State in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas announced in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha on August 1. As of May 2024, India had about 7,000 CNG stations. The establishment of these CNG stations is being managed by companies authorised by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) under their minimum work programme (MWP). Following the 12/12A CGD bidding round, PNGRB has authorised companies to set up CGD networks in 307 geographical regions of India. This initiative aims to cover nearly 100% of the country’s geographical area, spanning approximately 733 districts across 34 states and union territories. The CGD sector in India includes multiple segments: CNG used as an auto-fuel, and piped natural gas (PNG) used in homes, and commercial and industrial establishments. The distribution of CNG stations in India is currently uneven, with the majority located in northern and western regions of the country. The western states of Gujarat and Maharashtra have the highest number of CNG refuelling stations, followed by northern states of Uttar Pradesh, Delhi National Capital Territory, and Haryana. India also has the most cities in the top ten most polluted cities globally. To combat urban air pollution, the Indian government is actively promoting the use of natural gas, especially in high-polluting sectors like transportation. As such, the government plans to increase the share of natural gas in the overall energy mix to 30% by 2030, up from the current 6-7%. Both intracity and long-distance transportation are expected to significantly drive the demand for natural gas.
