The German Apex Standards Development body PTB has a collaborative project with India called “Strengthening Quality Infrastructure for the Solar Industry in India.” PTB also has similar programs with Thailand as well as Vietnam. Under the aegis of these programs, they had organized a workshop on the sidelines of the Asia PVSEC Conference in Bangkok, Thailand in November 2025. The goal of this workshop was to enhance the collaboration between PV experts in India and ASEAN countries. Prof. Narendra Shiradkar from NCPRE was invited to attend this workshop as a part of the Indian delegation. The other member of the Indian delegation was Dr. Sushil Kumar, who chairs the Project Monitoring Committee (PMC) of NCPRE. The delegation also visited NIMT, the leading metrology institute of Thailand and explored the potential collaboration with them. This visit has helped NCPRE to establish new ties with the PV experts in ASEAN countries which would lead to new collaborations in this region. In fact, it was realized that the expertise and capabilities developed at NCPRE could be useful for the ASEAN countries as they embrace their solar future.
