New Delhi, August 26, 2025: Jindal Stainless, India’s largest stainless steel manufacturer, has partnered with Whiteland Corporation, a Delhi-NCR-based real-estate developer, to supply stainless steel rebars for their branded residences project, Westin Residences Gurugram. This marks one of the first integrations of stainless steel rebars in a branded residences project in the country, underscoring the growing adoption of stainless steel in Indian housing for structural innovation and long-term durability.Jindal Stainless has supplied 410L grade stainless steel rebars, branded as JINDAL INFINITY, forming the project’s structural core.

The move signals a potential shift in material standards and sets higher benchmarks for real estate, a sector traditionally dominated by carbon steel. Known for its superior properties—such as high load-bearing capacity, structural endurance, enhanced corrosion resistance, seismic resilience and tensile strength—410L grade of stainless steel is used in critical infrastructure, including coastal and metro projects, and is a proven choice especially in corrosion-prone environments.While conventional rebars offer a service life of approximately 50 years, stainless steel variants are engineered to endure more than twice that lifespan. This extended lifespan not only strengthens safety and structural integrity but also reduces long-term maintenance costs, an increasingly important consideration for developers and investors focused on lifecycle economics.

CEO and CFO, Jindal Stainless, MrTarun Khulbe, said, “Our partnership with Whiteland Corporation isn’t just about building homes—it’s about redefining how they’re built. As India’s leading stainless steel manufacturer, we have pioneered stainless steel use across critical infrastructure, from metros and railways to coastal projects and beyond. We continue to bring the same unmatched strength, safety, and longevity to residential construction. Together with Whiteland Corporation, we are committed to setting a new benchmark for how durability and environmental responsibility can seamlessly co-exist in modern living.”

Founder, Whiteland Corporation, Mr Navdeep Sardana, said, “This partnership reflects our ambition to redefine timeless living. By embedding Jindal Stainless’ stainless steel into our homes, we are creating dwellings that will endure—both in strength and legacy. Westin Residences Gurugram exemplifies our vision for sustainable, world-class communities that inspire for generations.”

Manufactured via a recycled-route process, the stainless steel rebars used in the project also contributes to reducing the carbon footprint of construction.Jindal Stainless is committed to forging a greener future through responsible practices, innovative solutions, and decarbonisation initiatives, as part of its efforts to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

Westin Residences Gurugram, spread across approximately 20 acres, will feature approximately 1,700 high-rise residences ranging from 248.33 to 402.06 square meters. Developed by Whiteland Corporation and curated withWestin’s hospitality-led ethos, the project aims to combine wellness, design excellence and structural reliability, heralding a new era of branded residences living in the country.

New Delhi, August 25^th, 2025 – Girlyveda, India’s emerging women’s wellness brand rooted in the timeless science of Ayurveda, has announced the launch of its latest innovation — Acne Slash Capsules. Specially designed for women, these capsules offer a natural and holistic solution to acne and related skin concerns. By working on the root causes of breakouts rather than merely treating the surface, Acne Slash aims to restore balance, heal the skin from within, and bring back its natural clarity and radiance.

Formulated with the powerful synergy of Ayurvedic ingredients such as Shudh Gandhak, Haritaki, Neem, Manjistha, and Kali Mirch, Acne Slash Capsules are crafted to purify the blood, regulate sebum production, calm inflammation, and promote faster skin healing. Unlike chemically packed solutions that often cause dryness or irritation, this herbal formulation takes a gentle yet effective approach, nourishing the body while addressing the internal imbalances that lead to stubborn breakouts.

Acne can affect not just the skin but also a woman’s self-confidence, often becoming an emotional struggle alongside a physical one. Whether it’s teenage breakouts, hormonal fluctuations, or recurring acne caused by stress and lifestyle factors, Acne Slash Capsules have been designed to support women across all stages of life. With continued use, visible improvements can often be observed within one to two weeks, but for sustained results and long-term prevention, a consistent course of two to three months is recommended.

The formulation draws its strength from Ayurveda’s wisdom. Shudh Gandhak, renowned for its antimicrobial and detoxifying properties, helps control acne-causing bacteria and supports natural skin purification. Haritaki, an integral part of Triphala, aids digestion and detoxification, ensuring internal balance reflects in clearer skin. Neem and Manjistha, celebrated blood purifiers, work to soothe inflammation and calm acne-prone skin, while Kali Mirch enhances nutrient absorption and supports faster regeneration. Together, these ingredients help restore the skin’s natural equilibrium and maintain lasting clarity.

Speaking about the launch, Mr. Danny Kumar Meena, Founder & Ceo at Girlyveda, said, “Persistent acne is often a sign of deeper imbalances — hormonal changes, poor digestion, or toxin accumulation. What makes Acne Slash Capsules different is their root-cause approach. By combining herbs like Shudh Gandhak, Neem, and Haritaki, the formulation not only reduces breakouts but also improves internal health, helping women achieve clearer and healthier skin naturally.”

Girlyveda’s Acne Slash Capsules are entirely Ayurvedic, clean, and safe, made without synthetic additives, artificial hormones, or harsh chemicals. Clinically tested for efficacy and backed by high-quality, traceable ingredients, the capsules are designed for modern women seeking a sustainable solution for their skincare concerns.

With this launch, Girlyveda continues its mission to blend ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with the needs of today’s women, empowering them with natural, holistic solutions for self-care and confidence. By addressing skin health from the inside out, the brand reaffirms its commitment to helping women embrace their natural radiance with purity, safety, and authenticity at its core.

Government Trust in Indian Hydrogen Innovation

This order comes at a time when India is aggressively pushing its National Green Hydrogen Mission, with the aim of positioning itself as a global hub for green hydrogen production and export. By awarding this R&D order to Greenzo Energy, EIL has demonstrated confidence in the indigenous innovation capacity of India’s clean energy ecosystem.

The project will serve as a foundation for developing scalable, indigenous hydrogen solutions that can be replicated across refineries, fertilizer plants, steel, cement, and other hard-to-abate sectors, thereby accelerating India’s decarbonization targets.

A Milestone for Greenzo Energy

For Greenzo Energy, this partnership validates its positioning as a pioneering force in the hydrogen economy.
