Verified radar systems are vital for applications such as traffic speed monitoring, accident prevention, and minimising wear and tear on road infrastructure, the statement explained.

The green office inventory in India is projected to reach 700 million square feet (sq ft) in the next two-three years, a report showed on Friday, adding that the proportion of leasing in green-certified buildings is expected to rise from 75 per cent currently to about 80-85 per cent in the next few years.
