Featured in Bharatia | India-Slovenia SITE Network Intelligence — Issue 1, 04 September 2026 The Priorities for Building the Relationship India and Slovenia have complementary capabilities, bilateral trade has crossed US$1 billion, and there is considerable scope to deepen the relationship through technology, manufacturing, research, projects and investment. The question now is: where do we start? The India–Slovenia SITE Network will focus on building activity around areas wh

Featured in Bharatia | India-Slovenia SITE Network Intelligence — Issue 1, 04 September 2026 Turning Bilateral Opportunity into Commercial Activity India and Slovenia already have the foundations of a bilateral relationship: diplomatic engagement, growing trade, institutional cooperation and existing links between businesses, universities and research organisations. The opportunity now is to build the implementation layer. The India–Slovenia SITE Network — Science, Innovation

Featured in Bharatia | India-Slovenia SITE Network Intelligence — Issue 1, 04 September 2026 Two Countries. One Corridor. The India–Slovenia relationship brings together two economies of very different scale but with highly complementary capabilities. This inaugural factbook provides a quick reference to the economic, industrial and innovation characteristics of both countries — and the bilateral relationship connecting them. India's significance to Slovenia extends beyond it

Featured in Bharatia | India-Slovenia SITE Network Intelligence — Issue 1, 04 September 2026 Trade Has Crossed US$1 Billion. Investment Must Now Catch Up. The India–Slovenia economic relationship has reached an important milestone. Bilateral merchandise trade crossed US$1 billion for the first time in FY2025–26, reaching US$1.064 billion. India's exports to Slovenia rose to US$765.17 million, while imports from Slovenia stood at US$298.83 million. Total trade increased 25.4%

Featured in Bharatia | India-Slovenia SITE Network Intelligence — Issue 1, 04 September 2026 Scale Is Only the Beginning For Slovenia, India presents an almost inverse proposition. Slovenia's strengths lie in specialisation, advanced industry, research and technology. India's advantage begins with scale — but it does not end there. India offers Slovenian businesses and institutions a combination of market demand, manufacturing capacity, engineering and digital talent, technol

Featured in Bharatia | India-Slovenia SITE Network Intelligence — Issue 1, 04 September 2026 Small in Scale. Strategic in Capability. For India, Slovenia's importance should not be judged by the size of its domestic market. Its proposition is much more interesting: a concentrated European economy combining advanced industry, specialised engineering, research excellence, logistics infrastructure and access to European markets. For Indian companies and institutions, the opportu

Featured in Bharatia | India-Slovenia SITE Network Intelligence — Issue 1, 04 September 2026 India and Slovenia are very different economies. That difference is precisely where some of the most interesting opportunities lie. India brings scale: more than 1.4 billion people, a rapidly expanding manufacturing base, deep engineering and digital capabilities, growing demand for infrastructure and technology, and an increasingly important role in the global economy. Slovenia bring

Featured in Bharatia | Water Intelligence — Issue 1, 02 September 2026 The sludge challenge will not be solved by technology alone. India needs implementable projects that connect technology, infrastructure, markets, policy and finance — and demonstrate commercial models capable of being replicated across cities. This is where First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) projects matter. A successful FOAK does more than prove that a technology works. It demonstrates that the complete value chain

Featured in Bharatia | Water Intelligence — Issue 1, 02 September 2026 The transition from sludge disposal to resource recovery is no longer merely a future proposition for India. Several Indian cities are beginning to redesign how sludge is treated and what happens to the resources contained within it. Vadodara has already demonstrated an operating model at scale, while Mumbai is embedding advanced biosolids management into a major new generation of wastewater infrastructure

Featured in Bharatia | Water Intelligence — Issue 1, 02 September 2026 Sludge is a liability. Period. It is an unavoidable consequence of wastewater treatment, and somebody has to pay to manage it. Yet embedded within that liability are potentially valuable resources — organic carbon, nutrients and energy. The commercial challenge is that extracting those resources also costs money. This distinction is important. Resource recovery does not automatically make sludge treatmen

Featured in Bharatia | Water Intelligence — Issue 1, 02 September 2026 There is no single technology for solving the sludge challenge. Different solutions recover different forms of value — carbon and nutrients for soil, biogas and energy, solid fuels and other productive resources. The appropriate pathway depends on sludge characteristics, existing treatment infrastructure, local markets and the intended end use. In this edition, we spotlight four technologies representing d

Featured in Bharatia | Water Intelligence — Issue 1, 02 September 2026 As India rapidly expands wastewater treatment, another challenge is growing with it: what do we do with all the sludge? India generates approximately 72 billion litres per day (72,368 MLD) of urban sewage, against an installed treatment capacity of around 31,841 MLD. Actual treatment, however, remains considerably lower, at around 20,000 MLD — less than 30% of the sewage generated nationally. India is in
