The authority issued Letter of Intent (LOI) on Thursday after the agency (EVMWT) demanded it for the land, as they have got multiple manufacturers who want to develop an integrated project near Noida International airport. The authority assured them of providing land in Sector 8.
'The EVMWT will set up a dedicated cluster for EV autorickshaw and two-wheeler production, along with component manufacturing. The land acquisition work is currently in progress in Sector 8. The LoI issued for the 100-acre allotment is subject to approval of the Invest UP Empowered Committee, state policy guidelines, and other applicable regulatory norms,' said Yeida chief executive officer (CEO) Arun Vir Singh.
'The Trust has informed the authority that over 150 units associated with it intend to set up manufacturing facilities. This initiative is expected to provide a major boost to the region's manufacturing sector,' the CEO added.
Yeida said that a start-up manufacturing EV batteries for two-wheelers, including Royal Enfield, will be allotted 10,000 sqm in the 206-acre Electronics Manufacturing Cluster-2 (EMC-2) in Sector 10. Havells has already been allotted 50 acres here as the anchor company, and three other major firms have also secured plots.
'Neenjas Electric has been issued a LOI for manufacturing electric vehicle chargers, LED lighting panels, and related solar-based technologies in Sector 10. Founded in 2021, the start-up is based in Noida and operates manufacturing units in Greater Noida,' said Singh.
Last week, Dixon Technologies secured 22.5 acres in EMC 2.0, becoming the third company to join the hub. Officials said Dixon has received the LOI to set up a manufacturing unit for mobile phones, consumer electronics, telecom equipment, lighting products, and white goods.
Approvals were also issued to two other companies—Ascent-K Circuit and Aurionpro Toshi Automatic Systems—for setting up units under the central government's scheme. The 206-acre cluster has seen strong interest from top industrial players, officials added.
'The land acquisition process in Sector 10 is also ongoing. The EMC 2.0 project was formally approved by union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and Minister of State Jitin Prasada on Wednesday. Earlier, it received in-principle approval from the MeitY (ministry of electronics and information technology) during the 7th project review committee meeting held in April,' the CEO added.

Servotech Renewable in focus on Monday as Coeus Fund converts warrants
Shares of Servotech Renewable Power System are expected to remain in the spotlight on Monday following a major equity allotment and expansion of its EV charging infrastructure portfolio. The renewable energy firm has converted 10 lakh warrants into equity shares, issued to Coeus Global Opportunities Fund, further strengthening investor confidence. The company allotted the shares at ₹83.40 per share (₹1 face value + ₹82.40 premium), receiving ₹6.25 crore or 75% of the issue price as upfront payment. This allotment is part of a larger preferential issue of 89 lakh warrants announced in January 2024. With this move, Coeus Global Opportunities Fund doubled its stake in Servotech from 0.44% to 0.88%, now holding 20 lakh shares. Consequently, the company's paid-up capital increased from ₹22.48 crore to ₹22.58 crore. Green Energy and EV Infra Drive Growth Servotech's growth isn't limited to capital infusion.

NSEL Investors Forum urges Maharashtra CM to facilitate one-time settlement
The NSEL Investors Forum (NIF) has approached Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, seeking his support for a proposed one-time settlement (OTS) between investors and the National Spot Exchange Ltd. (NSEL). The forum has urged the State Government 'to refrain from any actions that may delay or derail the settlement process.' In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister, the forum, representing investors impacted by the NSEL payment default crisis, has highlighted the importance of the settlement, which has been discussed over a decade. The forum has emphasised that after nearly 12 years of pursuing recovery efforts through various channels, a breakthrough consensus has finally been reached between NSEL and its investors. The proposed OTS, valued at ₹1,950 crore, is aimed at providing investors a substantial recovery of their lost funds. Notably, while recovery rates in typical insolvency cases hover between 10% and 20%, the OTS is expected to yield approximately 48% recovery for affected investors — a significantly higher return, the Forum said. Earlier this year, to formalise the settlement, NSEL filed a Scheme of Arrangement before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai. In its letter to Mr. Fadnavis, the Forum had expressed concerns that any adverse or negative response from state authorities, including the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) or the Competent Authority overseeing the matter, could jeopardise the settlement. 'Such actions would not only derail the process but could also be perceived as working against the interests of the investors,' the letter said. To ensure a smooth resolution, the forum has requested that the State Government appoint a senior legal expert with experience in company law matters to guide the state's position effectively before the NCLT. 'We humbly urge the Chief Minister to issue necessary directions to relevant authorities and departments to avoid any hasty or negative steps that may derail or delay the proposed settlement,' the forum stated.

Himachal govt to set up the emergency response centre in all panchayats
The Himachal Pradesh government on Saturday gave its consent for setting up Panchayat Emergency Response Centre in all panchayats of the state, according to an official statement. In a meeting held here under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, the cabinet gave its consent for Panchayat Emergency Response Centre in each of the 3,645 panchayats of the state to ensure effective response in the event of natural disasters to save human lives and properties. To encourage self-employment and reduce dependence on conventional energy sources, it also approved the provision of interest subsidies for the establishment of solar power projects, the statement issued here said. Under this initiative, a five per cent interest subsidy will be provided for solar projects ranging from 100 KW to 1 MW in tribal areas, while a 4 per cent subsidy will be extended for projects with capacities between 250 KW and 2 MW in non-tribal regions. The cabinet also approved the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Himachal Pradesh Energy Development Agency (HIMURJA) and selected Gram Panchayats for the installation of 500 KW solar power plants in 100 panchayats under the Green Panchayat Scheme. Each project is expected to generate a monthly revenue of approximately Rs 25 lakh out of which 30 per cent will go to HIMURJA, 20 per cent to the state government and 40 per cent to the respective Gram Panchayats. An additional 10 per cent share will be allocated to Gram Panchayats specifically for the welfare of orphans and widows, the statement added. It also approved reclassification of pay matrix Level-11 posts from Group-B to Group-C. With this decision, only bonafide Himachali candidates will be eligible to apply for these reclassified Group-C posts. Post-reclassification, the recruitment process will be handled by the Himachal Pradesh Rajya Chayan Aayog, in accordance with the procedures applicable to Group-C positions. Earlier, the recruitment was conducted by the Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission, which allowed applicants from across the country. Approval to enhance the honorarium of multi task workers of the Public Works Department from Rs 5,000 to Rs 5,500 per month, benefitting around 5000 workers was also given and it was decided to create and fill up 101 posts of various categories in Police Lines of District Police Dehra. The cabinet decided to introduce a Milk Incentive Scheme for farmers supplying milk to eligible non-government dairy cooperative societies, under which a subsidy of Rs 3 per litre will be provided to milk producers through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode. It approved the decision to shift the office of the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation from Shimla to Dharamshala. This move aligns with the declaration of Kangra as the Tourism Capital of the state and aims to help decongest Shimla city, the statement said.
