ABB India, a group company of Switzerland’s ABB, has entered into partnership with Indore Smart City Development to provide an uninterrupted power supply in the west-central city of Indore.

Following the announcement, the Indian engineering services company’s share prices rose 1.6% to INR2,100 in intra-day trading on the National Stock Exchange of India.

On Wednesday, the company’s share prices had opened up at INR2,077.55 from the previous close of INR 2,065.70.

Next-generation technology

The company will deploy next-generation digital technology to provide continuous electricity to homes and businesses. In the first phase of the collaboration, the technology has enabled more than 2,300 connections to receive an uninterrupted electricity supply in the city.

The technology is supported by an automatic response system (ARS) in case of power outages or disruption, it said.

ABB and ISCDL now plan to replicate the same model in other areas of the city and position Indore as the model for smart-city projects across India.

Smart city

Indore is the largest city in the state of Madhya Pradesh and home to more than 3 million people and several key industries. Indore is also part of the Indian government’s mission to develop 100 smart cities across the country. 

“Efficient electrification is the backbone of a smart city and ABB’s technology-led approach has shown promising results in the first phase of deployment,” said ISCDL chief executive Rishav Gupta. “It has resulted in a reduction in the number of outages and faster resolution in case of disruptions.”

ABB India will use its proprietory Compact Secondary Substations, manufactured locally, to reduce downtime by providing a steady power supply.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
