C. Manufacturing of Multipost EVM:
An Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) is an electronic device designed to record and count votes in elections. EVMs are used to streamline the voting process, reduce errors, and increase efficiency.
The global electronic voting market size was valued at USD 1.1 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% from 2021 to 2028. India has been a pioneer in using EVMs, with a large market size driven by government elections. The Indian EVM market is expected to continue growing, driven by ongoing electoral reforms and technological advancements.
ITI has developed Multipost (S3-EVM) as per the specifications finalized by SEC/TEC and approved by the standing committee of State Election Commissioners (SECs). These Multipost EVMs can be used for conducting local body elections at Gram Panchayats, Municipal Corporations, or other institutions for conducting elections fairly. ITI has been authorized by the SECs to supply EVMs for the State Election CommissionRSs requirement, depending upon the particular state requirement. Demonstration of Multi Post EVM completed for 13 State Election Commissions, and demo to the remaining State Election Commissions is in progress.
ITI received its first order of 500 EVM Control Units & Ballot Units from the State Election Commission of West Bengal, and manufacturing is in progress in the Bengaluru plant.
D. Implementation of Mono Crystalline (PERC) Solar Module Manufacturing facility 500 MW
The government has a very ambitious plan for the indigenous solar PV manufacturing ecosystem. In 2020, India adopted the RSNational Programme on high efficiency solar PV modulesRS for achieving a manufacturing capacity of gigawatt (GW) scale in high efficiency solar PV modules.
