Air India CEO Campbell Wilson Resigns Amid Financial Losses and Regulatory Scrutiny

Air India CEO Campbell Wilson Resigns Amid Financial Losses and Regulatory Scrutiny

Campbell Wilson, the CEO of Air India, has announced his resignation amid ongoing financial losses and regulatory scrutiny. Wilson, a former Singapore Airlines veteran, was appointed in 2022 to lead the turnaround of the Indian carrier, which had been struggling under government ownership. During his tenure, Wilson focused on overhauling the airline's engineering department and refurbishing planes, despite facing supply chain disruptions. Air India, now owned by Tata Group, has been dealing with significant financial pressure, reporting a combined loss of 98.08 billion rupees ($1.05 billion) for the 2024-2025 financial year. The airline's challenges have been exacerbated by Pakistan's ban on Indian carriers using its airspace and the ongoing conflict in Iran, which has affected its western routes. Wilson's resignation comes as the airline continues to face scrutiny from regulators for safety lapses, including operating flights without an airworthiness certificate.

SED and Gradiant India Implement Zero Liquid Discharge System at Gujarat Solar Plant

Spray Engineering Devices (SED) has partnered with Gradiant India to deploy a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system at a solar PV manufacturing plant in Gujarat, India. This high-tech water recovery solution aims to enable up to 94% wastewater reuse, significantly reducing the plant's freshwater dependence. The system uses SED's patented Low-Temperature Evaporation technology to recycle wastewater into ultra-clean water for reuse, addressing the challenge of massive water consumption in solar manufacturing. This initiative is particularly crucial in water-stressed regions like Gujarat, where industrial groundwater use is heavily scrutinized. The project aligns with India's renewable energy goals and supports sustainable manufacturing practices.
