India moves to shield power grid from solar equipment malware
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel India issued guidelines to protect solar power equipment from potential cyberattacks, responding to industry concerns that imported China-made parts may be putting the grid at of inverters - devices that turn direct current into electricity for homes and the grid - will need to connect the machines to a national software platform, hosted on servers in India and managed by a government agency, according to the renewable energy ministry. All communication devices connected to the inverters must use special SIM cards that let machines securely share data without human input, it said in a note on its power grids become more automated and digitally connected, they face growing cybersecurity threats, prompting governments worldwide to tighten safeguards. Reuters reported in May that the US is reassessing the risk posed by Chinese-made inverters after unexplained communication equipment was found inside some of them."Inverter communication modules that transmit data to servers outside India not only pose risks of unauthorised control but also threaten national energy sovereignty by exposing sensitive consumption and generation data," the Indian ministry directions currently apply to rooftop solar inverters - considered the most vulnerable part of the green power supply network due to limited technological safeguards. Data from these devices also reach to suppliers, many based in China, according to India Smart Grid Forum, which advises the government on building new-age power currently has 1.8 million rooftop solar units connected to the grid, ISGF said in a May report. More than 80% of the inverters installed at these units are made by Chinese companies, it said, highlighting the cybersecurity nation plans to cover 10 million houses, with a cumulative capacity of 30 gigawatts by March 2027, according to the ministry.

US Lawmaker Presses Defense For Details On Microsoft's Chinese Engineers
San Francisco: A US lawmaker on Thursday pressed the US Defense Department for further details on what information the US military shared with Chinese engineers as part of a cloud computing services contract with Microsoft. After a report by investigative journalism publication ProPublica, Microsoft last week said it has ended the practice of using China-based engineers to provide technical support to the US military under the supervision of US "digital escorts" who may not have had the expertise to assess whether the work was a cybersecurity threat. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a two-week review to ensure other contractors were not employing the same practices. In a letter seen by Reuters, US Senator Tom Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, asked Hegseth to provide details to lawmakers on what information Chinese engineers accessed and to disclose "the discovery of potential security incidents or malicious events that have already occurred or are likely to occur." In addition, Cotton asked whether Microsoft had been required to perform self-audits of the program and if so, the results of those audits. "While I applaud your actions, I am concerned that the Department (of Defense) is hampered by agreements and practices unwisely adopted by your predecessors, including contracts and oversight processes that fail to account for the growing Chinese threat," Cotton wrote in the letter.

Govt gets ₹16,000 cr investment proposals under electronic component scheme
The government had opened applications for the ₹22,805-crore electronics component manufacturing scheme (ECMS) on May 1 Press Trust of India New Delhi The government is learnt to have attracted investment proposals worth ₹16,000 crore under the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme, according to sources. The government had opened applications for the ₹22,805-crore electronics component manufacturing scheme (ECMS) on May 1. "Received proposals worth around ₹16,000 crore under ECMS," an official source said. An industry body also confirmed the development, based on its discussion with government officials and industry players. According to the government source, the approval process has started and shortlisted projects are expected to be announced in September. "The scheme has received a good response from both domestic and foreign companies," the source said. Sources had earlier mentioned that Tata Electronics, Dixon Technologies, and Foxconn were among the big players that have shown interest in the scheme. Recently, Dixon signed separate agreements with Chinese electronic component firms -- Chongqing Yuhai Precision Manufacturing Co Ltd and the Indian arm of Kunshan Q Technology -- for manufacturing and sales of electronic components used in electronic devices like mobile phones and laptops, among others. The scheme aims to address the demand-supply deficit in the electronic component segment. Electronic Industries Association of India (Elcina), the country's oldest industry body of the Indian electronics sector, estimates that the demand-supply deficit for inputs in the electronics segment will increase to $248 billion (about ₹21 lakh crore) by 2030 to cater to projected $ 500 billion electronics production, and it would be met largely by imports in absence of any measure from the government. The major portion of the scheme,₹21,093 crore, is earmarked for sub-assemblies like camera module, multi-layered printed circuit board (PCB), flexible PCB, and passive components that are fixed on the PCB by machines. A total of ₹1,712 crore has been earmarked for making parts used in sub-assemblies and capital goods used in electronics manufacturing. The scheme classifies display module and camera module sub-assembly in category A, while category B products include bare components like non-surface mount devices (non-SMD), multi-layered printed circuit board, lithium-ion cells for digital applications, enclosures for mobile, IT hardware products and related devices. Category C includes components like flexible PCB, SMD passive components. Besides, components used in making items listed under A, B and C categories, as well as capital goods used in electronics manufacturing, have been clubbed under the D category. The government has opened the application window for A, B and C categories initially for three months starting May 1, and for two years for D category items.
