New Delhi, June 2026: An Indian delegation comprising representatives from government institutions and the private sector recently visited Germany for a high-level exchange programme focused on climate adaptation, environmental technologies, and sustainable development.

The visit, held earlier this month, was jointly organised by GIZ India and the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce (IGCC) and centred around participation in IFAT Munich 2026, one of the world’s leading trade fairs for environmental technologies.

The programme combined attendance at the trade fair with institutional exchanges, technical site visits, and strategic discussions in Munich and Berlin. Delegates engaged with a wide range of stakeholders, including government officials, industry leaders, academic experts, and research institutions, to gain insights into innovative solutions and best practices in climate resilience and environmental management.

Key areas of discussion included climate adaptation strategies, water resource management, recycling technologies, circular economy practices, and sustainable urban development. Participants explored emerging technologies and policy approaches that could support sustainable growth and strengthen climate resilience.

According to organisers, the visit highlighted the growing momentum for deeper cooperation between India and Germany in addressing global environmental challenges. The exchange provided a platform for knowledge sharing, networking, and identifying opportunities for future collaboration.

Officials noted that the programme also facilitated partnership-building between institutions from both countries, paving the way for continued engagement on shared sustainability and climate objectives.

The initiative reflects the commitment of India and Germany to advancing climate action, promoting environmental innovation, and fostering long-term cooperation in support of sustainable development goals.

Mumbai, Jun 1: New Consolidated Construction Company Limited  one of India’s leading EPC construction companies with over eight decades of engineering heritage, has secured construction orders totalling approximately INR 870 crore from Lodha Group and Welspun One Logistics Parks. Spanning over 34 lakh sq. ft. across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, the mandates cover premium residential, landmark logistics infrastructure and complex urban redevelopment.

The orders, received in May 2026, further strengthen NCCCL’s growing presence in large-scale urban infrastructure and reinforces the trust placed by foremost corporates and developers in the company’s execution capabilities as a trusted construction partner.

Welspun One Logistics Parks – India’s First Vertical Warehouse, JNPA SEZ, Navi Mumbai

The standout mandate in this tranche is NCCCL’s appointment to build India’s first vertical warehouse for Welspun One Logistics Parks, a landmark in the country’s institutional logistics sector. Situated within the JNPA Special Economic Zone in Navi Mumbai, one of India’s most strategically significant port-linked hubs, the project comprises two large-format warehouse blocks (Block B and Block C) totalling approximately 18.15 lakh sq. ft. NCCCL’s scope covers core and shell construction, finishing works and full external development, including apron areas.

Turnkey Urban Redevelopment – ACME Hills SRA Project, Goregaon East (Lodha Group)

NCCCL has been awarded one of its most consequential mandates to date: the turnkey construction of the ACME Hills SRA Project in Goregaon East for Lodha Group. Spanning approximately 14.81 lakh sq. ft., NCCCL’s end-to-end scope encompasses design coordination, civil execution and complete project delivery – covering rehabilitation towers for eligible residents, premium open-market residential towers and a Multi-Level Car Park (MLCP). The configuration includes Rehabilitation Building No. 3B (two wings, basement through 40 upper floors), Premium Towers 4A and 4B (32–33 floors each) and an MLCP rising to 10 floors. The mandate is a direct reflection of the confidence leading developers place in NCCCL as a single, integrated construction partner.

Lifestyle Infrastructure – Opulis Clubhouse, Lodha Premier Township, Dombivali

NCCCL has secured the construction of the Opulis Clubhouse at Lodha Premier Township, Dombivali – a signature lifestyle hub spanning approximately 1.46 lakh sq. ft. Scope covers core and shell civil works across ground plus two upper floors, inclusive of Lift Machine Room and Overhead Tank.

Technology-Led Execution – Strategic Partnership with Nemetschek Group

Underpinning this momentum is NCCCL’s strengthened technology infrastructure. Earlier this month, the company formalised a three-year strategic partnership with Nemetschek Group to accelerate BIM adoption, AI-driven workflows and digital construction systems across its portfolio – enhancing design validation, project transparency and operational efficiency across residential, commercial, healthcare, hospitality and data centre assets.

Commenting on the wins, Mr. Mahesh Mudda, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, NCCCL, said:

“These orders reflect the sustained trust that India’s most respected developers place in NCCCL’s capabilities. The

ACME Hills mandate, awarded on a fully turnkey basis, speaks directly to where we are headed as an organisation. Our ambition is to be the single, integrated platform that a developer turns to for their complete construction and execution requirements – from design coordination and civil execution through to final delivery. That is the proposition we are building, and these mandates validate it.”

Adding to this, Dr. Amit Goenka, Founder, Chairman & Managing Director, Nisus Finance, said:

“The scale and diversity of these mandates validate NCCCL’s operational depth but what is equally significant is the nature of the engagement. A fully turnkey award from one of India’s largest developers is a strong market signal. It points to NCCCL’s evolution into a true end-to-end construction platform, one capable of owning the full delivery chain on behalf of its clients. That is the kind of positioning that creates durable competitive advantage, and we are confident in the long-term value it will generate.”

With these mandates, NCCCL continues to strengthen its position across high-growth urban infrastructure segments, backed by a robust execution pipeline, technology-led delivery capabilities and long-standing relationships with leading developers. The company remains focused on expanding its presence across residential, logistics, redevelopment and institutional infrastructure projects, while reinforcing its role as an integrated end-to-end construction partner in India’s evolving urban landscape.

Bengaluru, May 30, 2026: Tanishq, India’s most trusted jewellery brand from the House of Tata, has unveiled its latest Gold Exchange initiative featuring cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. The campaign highlights Tanishq’s industry-leading Gold Exchange process, emphasizing the transparency, trust, and customer-centric approach that have made the brand one of India’s preferred destinations for gold exchange.

For more than three decades, Gold Exchange has been an integral part of Tanishq’s offerings, enabling customers to unlock value from their old jewellery while upgrading to contemporary gold and diamond designs that reflect evolving lifestyles and preferences. To date, over 36 lakh customers have participated in Tanishq’s Gold Exchange programme, making it one of the most widely adopted exchange platforms in the country.

Built on the pillars of trust, transparency, and customer confidence, Tanishq’s Gold Exchange process ensures that customers receive maximum value for their old gold. As the category continues to gain popularity, the brand believes that true differentiation lies not merely in offering exchange services but in providing customers with complete clarity, assurance, and confidence throughout the valuation and exchange process.

At a time when consumers increasingly seek fairness and transparency in high-value transactions, Tanishq’s Gold Exchange proposition stands apart through its commitment to process integrity and end-to-end visibility. Customers can exchange old gold purchased from any jeweller, including jewellery with purity levels as low as 9KT, through a structured process designed to ensure accurate valuation and optimal value realization.

For many Indian families, jewellery purchases associated with weddings and significant life milestones carry deep emotional and cultural significance. As consumers look for smarter and more value-conscious ways to make jewellery purchases, Gold Exchange is emerging as a practical solution that allows them to leverage the value of existing household gold while continuing to celebrate important occasions.

Commenting on the initiative, Arun Narayan, CEO, Jewellery Division, Titan Company Limited, said, “Gold Exchange is fundamentally a trust-led decision because customers are parting with jewellery that holds both emotional and financial value. At Tanishq, we have spent decades building a Gold Exchange process rooted in transparency, credibility, and customer confidence. As the category becomes increasingly mainstream, we believe the true differentiator will be the trust customers place in the process itself. This initiative showcases the systems, safeguards, and transparency measures that continue to make Tanishq one of India’s most trusted Gold Exchange destinations.”

Speaking about the association, Sachin Tendulkar said, “In India, gold carries a deep emotional connection and is often linked to some of life’s most important moments, particularly weddings and family celebrations. Trust and transparency are therefore essential for people to feel confident and comfortable when buying or exchanging gold. Tanishq’s Gold Exchange programme respects this sentiment and strives to uphold it in every customer interaction.”

As Gold Exchange continues to evolve into a mainstream avenue for jewellery purchases, Tanishq remains focused on strengthening the factor that matters most to consumers—trust. Through this latest campaign, the brand reaffirms its long-standing commitment to making Gold Exchange more transparent, accessible, and confidence-inspiring, enabling customers to unlock the value of their existing household gold through a process built on decades of credibility, expertise, and care.
