Promoting ultra low-head micro hydropower technology to increase access to renewable energy for productive uses in rural India The project was developed in response to the interest expressed by the Government of India to help in design of a pilot project on ultra low-head micro hydropower (ULH-MHP) technology. This renewable energy technology has been the most up-to-date technique developed in this field, being innovated approximately four years ago. The technology remains available only in Japan. Different from the conventional hydropower technologies, this hydropower system can generate electricity from low-head water flow in the small waterfalls of the existing water-supply and sewage, power station waterways, drainage from factories, agricultural waterways and stream channels, which have not been previously considered feasible for hydro power generation. This is an environmentally-friendly system that does not need large-scale engineering work and its maintenance does not require advanced techno logy - this makes it a very suitable way to generate electricity especially in the developing countries. The goal of the project is to increase the access of rural communities to renewable electricity in the State of Uttarakhand, India. The project will demonstrate, deploy and transfer the ULH-MHP technology from Japan to the State of Uttarakhand. The project will also seek to create a favourable environment to deploy the ULH-MHP technology

Development and adoption of appropriate technologies for enhancing productivity in the cement sector The project has been developed in response to a request from the Government of India dated 19 September 2014. The overall objective of this project is to strengthen the capacity of the National Council for Cement and Building Materials (NCCBM), who will in turn act as a key support institution in strengthening the global competitive position of the Indian cement sector. India's cement industry is a vital part of its economy, providing employment to more than a million people, directly or indirectly. Cement production in India is a fragmented industry with more than 500 players. However, the sector is rather oligopolistic in nature as the top 10 producers control about 70% of the domestic market. The recent slowdown in demand has negatively affected the sector but small producers experienced the biggest reduction in capacity utilisation. Ever since it was deregulated in 1982, the Indian cement industry has attracted huge investments, from both Indian and foreign investors, making it the second largest in the world, accounting for about 7% of the global production. Since cement is a cyclical commodity, the dynamics of production are highly dependent on the overall economic activity in India. Thus, the recent slow-down in GDP growth and especially the unstable situation in the construction sector have resulted in
