Both companies are actively exploring joint product development for the Indian and global markets, potentially adapting existing Indra products or creating new ones specifically tailored to meet customer needs.
PARIS, June 17, 2025 /CNW/ -- Paris Air Show -- Indra and the Indian technology company AXISCADES have signed an agreement to collaborate on the production of solutions for the aerospace and defense markets.

FortisBC to issue call for power to help meet energy demand in the Southern Interior
New electricity generation projects will help meet customers' growing energy needs and support economic development KELOWNA, BC, July 3, 2025 /CNW/ - FortisBC Inc. (FortisBC) is planning to launch a call for power later this year as the next step to its Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEOI) issued in 2024, to support economic growth and help meet customers' growing electricity needs in communities across the Southern Interior region. The call for power will be conducted by way of an invitation-only competitive process, with organizations that were selected through the RFEOI process being invited to participate. This initial call for power is one of the next steps in FortisBC's work to expand its electricity system and increase power generation in the region by working with companies that can deliver local power and Indigenous communities in the Southern Interior. "By supporting local power projects and working with Indigenous organizations, we can expand electricity generation to ensure homes and businesses in the Southern Interior have the energy they need." said Joe Mazza, vice president of energy supply and resource development. "This call for power is an important step in delivering safe, reliable and affordable energy—driving economic development and strengthening communities for the future." In 2024, FortisBC issued an RFEOI for new power to identify projects from lower carbon and renewable 1 sources in British Columbia that could add up to 1,100 gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy supply for its approximately 190,000 electricity customers by 2030. Through the RFEOI, FortisBC received more than 80 submissions representing about 20,000 GWh of electricity. The call for power is the next step in FortisBC's work to increase power generation in the region and includes two key components. Firstly, FortisBC recognizes the importance of economic reconciliation and projects must have a minimum of 25 per cent Indigenous equity ownership. Therefore, it is seeking submissions with comprehensive Indigenous participation plans. Secondly, in the call for power, FortisBC will focus on wind projects that can directly connect to its electricity system in the Southern Interior and provide energy in winter months when customer demand for power is highest. This targeted competitive procurement process will enable FortisBC to focus on projects that align closely with its strategic objectives of acquiring energy to address its immediate needs to meet high demand for electricity during the coldest days of the year. FortisBC may issue additional calls for power in the future. The Government of British Columbia recently passed legislation to modernize permitting and regulation of renewable energy projects. The new legislation establishes the BC Energy Regulator as the single window for permitting renewable energy projects in accordance with strict environmental standards. This legislation and upcoming regulations could help bring more power to FortisBC's customers faster. "FortisBC's upcoming call for power is great news for British Columbia as we build our supply of clean energy to drive our economy forward," said Adrian Dix, Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions. "With a focus on wind projects in the Okanagan region and a requirement for Indigenous participation, the call for power will increase B.C.'s supply of renewable electricity to serve growing communities and businesses in the Southern Interior, create local jobs and investment, and generate important opportunities for Indigenous communities." "CEBC applauds FortisBC for taking bold action to ensure its customers have access to clean, reliable, and affordable energy for generations to come," said Kwatuuma Cole Sayers, executive director, Clean Energy Association of British Columbia (CEBC). This call for power will strengthen and diversify our grid while reinforcing B.C.'s position as a global leader in Indigenous ownership and electrification. CEBC members are eager to help address rising demand in the Southern Interior while advancing reconciliation, driving local revenues, and keeping well-paying jobs where we need them most — right here in B.C." The call for power is part of the many actions FortisBC is taking to increase the ability of its electricity system to meet the growing energy needs of its customers in the Southern Interior, safely and reliably. As part of its long-term plan, it has been upgrading and building new substations in Kelowna, Grand Forks, Salmo, South Slocan, Beaver Park, Fruitvale and Trail to serve these growing areas. In addition, the British Columbia Utilities Commission recently approved FortisBC's plan to invest $133 million 2 by 2027 in new power infrastructure projects, including upgrading the Saucier, Glenmore, Duck Lake and DG Bell substations in Kelowna, increasing the capacity of its substations in Kaleden, Keremeos, Blueberry Creek, Christina Lake and upgrading the two main transmission lines serving customers in South Okanagan.

All levels of government must confirm Alstom Thunder Bay plant as builder for TTC subway cars contractor
THUNDER BAY, ON, July 3, 2025 /CNW/ - Unifor is demanding all three levels of government make an open and official commitment to ensure jobs for workers at Unifor Local 1075 at the Thunder Bay Alstom plant are secured with a deal to build future TTC subway cars. "We don't understand the hold up. Unifor has been patiently waiting for all three levels to sign on and commit to these important manufacturing jobs for Canadian workers – but so far, we haven't seen any ink on paper," said Unifor National President Lana Payne. "The federal and provincial governments as well as the City of Toronto have committed the necessary funding and publicly declared their support for a sole-source procurement to Alstom in Thunder Bay. " If Alstom is awarded the contract, Unifor members would build the 55 new subway cars, intended to replace the current cars on the Bloor-Danforth line, which will reach their 30-year life service line next year. The federal government has indicated its support for the transit to be build in Canada, at the Thunder Bay facility including in Nov. 2024 when it announced $758 million in federal funding to support this transit project. In April, Ontario Premier Doug Ford urged Toronto to have its subway cars manufactured at the Alstom plant in Thunder Bay and to consider a sole-source deal with Alstom to support provincial workers, amid Donald Trump's ongoing trade war. At that time, Ontario Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria sent a letter to Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow requesting the procurement be sole-sourced to Alstom Thunder Bay. In June, Chow announced her support for the sole-source procurement to Alstom in Thunder Bay. In response to U.S. tariffs, Toronto had already moved in March to bar American firms from bidding on contracts. "And yet here we are, still waiting with workers at Thunder Bay facing layoffs. If there was ever a time to use Canadian procurement dollars to support Canadians and, in this case, Canadian-built transit it is now," said Payne. "We need procurement policies to match the intentions we have been clearly hearing from our political leaders." In January, Ontario committed to spend nearly $500 million to refurbish 181 GO Transit bi-level rail coaches, which is expected to support hundreds of jobs for at the Alstom plant in Thunder Bay. "With the ongoing trade war, Made-in-Canada has never been so important," said Unifor Unifor Local 1075 President Justin Roberts. "Our members are highly skilled and ready to build this transit. This should be a no-brainer given the times we are in. Let's get these subway cars built here at home." Unifor is Canada's largest union in the private sector, representing 320,000 workers in every major area of the economy. The union advocates for all working people and their rights, fights for equality and social justice in Canada and abroad, and strives to create progressive change for a better future. SOURCE Unifor
