Siemens reinforces commitment to India’s sustainable future

 Siemens Ltd. has showcased its range of integrated solutions for building sustainable, smart cities at the Vibrant Gujarat Summit 2015.
Gujarat as a base for manufacturing and business operations has witnessed unparalleled success in the past decade, and Vibrant Gujarat has been making crucial contributions to the state’s economic progress. With increasing globalisation and urbanisation, it is essential that India develops sustainable and smart cities as envisaged by the Government of India. This makes the theme “Sustainable Cities – Smart Future” highly relevant, along with “Make in India” and 24/7 power.
Siemens is one among the global leaders in providing technology solutions for setting up intelligent (smart), sustainable cities. With solutions for smart grid, building technologies, mobility and power distribution, Siemens has successfully set up smart cities in Vienna and New York as well as is involved in the Restructured Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (R-APDRP) of the Government of India for installing smart grid solutions in multiple cities in India. It has also been a preferred technology solution provider for the Indian Railways for close to six decades.
Siemens has been present in Gujarat through its two factories in Vadodara for steam turbines and laboratory diagnostics as well as the MoU signed with the Government of Gujarat to set up centres of competence. Through its corporate citizenship programme, Siemens is also in the process of upgrading and faculty development of Industrial Training Institutes of the Commissionerate of Employment and Training (CET), Gujarat.
