Nuvoco Vistas Corp Ltd., India’s fifth-largest cement group by capacity, successfully concluded the grand finale of ‘Sabse Khaas Pehelwaan’, presented by Nuvoco Duraguard Cement, on May 2, 2025, at New Delhi’s iconic Talkatora Indoor Stadium. The wrestling championship, rooted in Haryana’s rich sporting culture, was a celebration of strength, resilience, and community pride—values that mirror the essence of Nuvoco’s Duraguard Cement brand.

The 45-day campaign attracted over 1,500 participants from all 22 districts of Haryana, culminating in a high-energy finale featuring the top contenders from district-level qualifiers. The competition included freestyle bouts across multiple weight classes for both men and women. The winners were awarded cash prizes of ₹1,00,000 for first place, ₹50,000 for second, and ₹25,000 each for the joint third-place finishers. Notably, champions such as Aakash Kumar (61 kg), Jaideep (74 kg), Anirudh (125 kg), Parveen (53 kg), Neha (62 kg), and Priya (76 kg) will also be featured as micro-market brand ambassadors, deepening Nuvoco’s local engagement.

Chirag Shah, Head of Marketing, Innovation and Sales Excellence at Nuvoco, said, “Sabse Khaas Pehelwaan brought our brand closer to the heart of Haryana by uniting sport, culture, and community. This platform not only showcased remarkable athleticism but reinforced Duraguard Cement’s brand values of strength and durability.”

Manish Kumar, Head of North Sales, added, “Haryana is a vital market for Nuvoco. Through this campaign, we’ve built authentic relationships and increased brand trust at the grassroots level. It has opened new avenues for engagement and sustainable growth.”

The event’s live broadcast, combined with vibrant community events and digital outreach, created a powerful blend of cultural celebration and brand building across one of India’s most dynamic regions.

TotalEnergies and Holcim have commissioned a floating solar power plant in Obourg, Belgium, built on a rehabilitated former chalk quarry that has been converted into a lake. The project has a generation capacity of 31 MW and produces around 30 GWh of renewable electricity annually, which will be used to power Holcim’s nearby industrial operations. The project is currently the largest floating solar installation in Europe dedicated entirely to industrial self-consumption. To ensure minimal impact on the surrounding landscape, more than 700 metres of horizontal directional drilling were used to connect the solar installation to the electrical substation. The project reflects ongoing collaboration between the two companies to support industrial decarbonisation through renewable energy solutions and innovative infrastructure development.
