Gurugram, June 23: Sustainability has been a key consideration for Central Park Resorts at all its ventures.  On 19^th June the Group at the behest of Principal Advisor, Urban Development, Government of Haryana showcased a Live Practical Demonstration and On-Ground Drill for Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) System Management at Central Greens, Sector-48 Gurugram in a full-fledged mock-drill.

The Engineering Team of Central Park Resorts has created an exemplary comprehensive maintenance protocol for its Storm Water Control and Rain-Water Harvesting System over a period of time.

On 19^th June 2026 Central Park comprehensively demonstrated the following technical aspects of its Rainwater Harvesting System in the presence of GMDA Officials and Representatives from 30 Group Housing Societies and Residents’ Welfare Associations across Gurugram:

(a)  Physical inspection and functional health check of RWH recharge pits- including desilting, debris removal, and filter media replacement (gravel, sand, charcoal layers).

(b)  Pre-Monsoon Preparatory Drill entailing cleaning and flushing of collection pipes, inlet gates, and first – flush diverters to ensure un-obstructed flow.

(c)   Structural integrity checks of catchment surfaces, connecting pipework, and pre-location zones.

(d)  Capacity assessment and recharge rate estimation for its RWH pits in line with Central Ground Water Board guidelines and Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority requirements.

(e)  Display of Signage, Awareness Materials, and Resident Engagement, practices adopted by Central Park Resorts to promote conscious water conservation.

Central Park efficaciously demonstrated how sustainable infrastructure is becoming one of the critical differentiators among premium real estate ventures as well as how it is enhancing long-term asset value thereby promoting superior community resilience.

Talking about this initiative, Mr. Vikram Singh, President – Project, Central Park, said: “The future of real estate can’t only be pivoted to premium amenities and quality construction. It is equally important for the developers to instill faith in all stakeholders about creating sustainable and resilient living ecosystems. Water conservation infrastructure including rainwater harvesting systems have become a critical component of responsible community planning. Through this demonstration, we endeavored to showcase how proactive maintenance, technology, and stakeholder collaboration can significantly enhance the performance of these systems thereby contributing to long-term environmental sustainability.” 

This demonstration denotes a larger trend within India’s rapidly evolving real–estate industry, where sustainability has become a major factor affecting both investors’ predilection and homebuyers’ experience. Homebuyers are now evaluating projects based upon more than just design and amenities; they want assurance that projects will provide long-term water security and comply with local regulations related to environmental issues. Stunningly efficient buildings that rank high on sustainability quotient while simultaneously providing resistance to natural disasters caused as the perils of climate change is what the informed buyers command and demand.

The event that was held at Central Park demonstrated how developers, housing associations, civic authorities and residents could together collaborate to create the best methods for sustainable water management. The goal of this demonstration was to underpin the pivotal role builders play in developing climate-resilient communities, simultaneously encouraging peers to adopt proactive maintenance practices and work collaboratively by sharing best practices with each other with the larger objective of curating environment-friendly infrastructure.

June 23: Johnson’s Baby, the world’s No.1 baby and childcare brand, announces the launch of its new campaign, ‘Poshan Ka Pehla Sparsh’ for its Johnson’s Baby Milk & Rice Range. Inspired by the traditional Indian Annaprashan ceremony, which marks a baby’s first intake of solid food, Johnson’s Baby reimagines this cultural ritual through the lens of skincare with its ‘Food for Skin Ritual’.

Conceptualized by McCann India, the campaign film is set during a baby’s first food ceremony, a milestone celebrated across Indian households. It captures a lively and relatable family moment, as grandparents, uncles, aunts, and other family members eagerly compete for the privilege of feeding the baby first. Amidst the playful chaos, the mother shares a quiet, heartfelt moment with her baby, recognising that milk and rice have been part of her baby’s nourishment journey since Day 1, from caring for the baby’s delicate skin to this important food milestone.

Inspired by these purposeful ingredients, the Johnson’s Baby Milk & Rice Range is designed to nourish and help protect a baby’s delicate skin barrier from Day 1. It reflects our continued commitment to creating products that parents can trust from the very first touch.”

Bengaluru, June 23: Bhagwati Products Limited has crossed the INR 17,000 crore revenue milestone, marking a significant step in the company’s growth journey and reflecting the momentum created by its expanding manufacturing footprint, strong position in the smartphone ecosystem, and growing capabilities across the electronics value chain. The milestone builds on a period of rapid growth for the company, with revenues increasing nearly tenfold from approximately Rs 620 crore in FY24 to Rs 6,200 crore in FY25, underscoring the pace at which the business has scaled over the past two years.

The smartphone business continues to be the company’s largest revenue driver. With the capacity to manufacture up to 40 million smartphones annually, Bhagwati Products serves leading global brands including Vivo, OPPO and Lenovo. The Rs 17,000 crore milestone has been supported by the continued expansion of its manufacturing capabilities, particularly the scale-up of SMT and FATP lines, enabling higher throughput and greater flexibility across product categories. Beyond smartphones, the company is steadily expanding its presence across adjacent categories such as tablets and TWS devices, strengthening its participation in fast-growing segments of the consumer electronics market.

The milestone also reflects Bhagwati Products’ evolution beyond large-scale manufacturing. The company is steadily building capabilities across design, engineering, components and advanced manufacturing, creating a more integrated electronics platform that supports both current growth opportunities and future technology categories.

Commenting on the milestone, Rahul Sharma, Co-Founder, Bhagwati Products Limited, said,

“Our ambition is to build India’s leading Electronics Design Platform. We believe India’s opportunity lies not just in manufacturing products at scale, but in building deep capabilities in design, engineering, components and advanced manufacturing. By strengthening design-led innovation and integrating global technology capabilities into India, we aim to enable global brands to scale with confidence while positioning India as a stronger force in the global electronics value chain.”

The company has established capabilities across electronics manufacturing services (EMS), memory technologies and tooling. It is also evaluating opportunities in deep-tech and semiconductor-linked investments as part of its broader strategy to strengthen domestic value addition and build deeper capabilities across the electronics value chain.

The company’s partnership with Huaqin has been another important growth catalyst. Through its 51:49 joint venture with the global ODM leader, Bhagwati Products has strengthened its product development, engineering and manufacturing capabilities while enhancing its ability to scale alongside global brands. The partnership played a key role in supporting the company’s rapid ramp-up in FY25, when revenues grew tenfold to Rs 6,200 crore, and helped accelerate orders across smartphones and connected devices. Beyond supporting scale, the joint venture has also reinforced Bhagwati Products’ transition towards a more integrated electronics platform with stronger design and technology capabilities.

The company is now preparing to build a significant presence in IT hardware and computing, which it sees as a major near-term opportunity. Automotive electronics is expected to emerge as another key growth engine as vehicles become increasingly connected, software-driven and electronics intensive.

Looking ahead, as India’s electronics manufacturing landscape continues to evolve, Bhagwati Products is positioning itself not just as a high-scale manufacturer, but as a broader electronics platform with capabilities spanning design, engineering, manufacturing, components, memory, and semiconductor-linked technologies. The Rs 17,000 crore milestone reflects both the scale the company has achieved today and the foundation it is creating for its next phase of growth.
