    Study

    56% of people in the Western region feel mosquitoes are one of the main reasons they are not able to sleep well

    On a national level, more than half of India’s productivity is getting impacted due to disturbed sleep caused by mosquitoes

    PUNE:  More than half (58%) of India’s productivity is getting impacted as people feel stressed/drained out because of disturbed sleep due to mosquitoes. As a prelude to the upcoming World Malaria Day (April 25), this crucial revelation emerged from a survey report unveiled by Goodknight, India’s leading household insecticide brand from Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL). Titled ‘One Mosquito, Countless Threats’, this pan-India survey commissioned by Goodknight, and conducted by market research firm YouGov, examines public attitudes, and assesses the risks of mosquito-borne diseases. The survey report involved respondents across four regions of India – North (including central zone states), South, West and East.

    The Goodknight report highlights that 62% of males and 53% females expressed that their productivity is getting impacted because of disturbed sleep due to mosquitoes. This is particularly concerning in the context of India’s recent economic surge, where a healthy workforce is paramount. As per industry reports, the economic burden of India from mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria alone is around INR. 16000 crores. As per various estimates, approximately 75% of the economic burden represents the loss of earnings by Indians and the balance towards treatment expenses.

    Geographic zone wise, the West region consisting of states like Goa, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan, seemed the most affected with 67% people in the region feeling their productivity is getting impacted due to disturbed sleep caused by mosquitoes. Southern India comes in at the second spot with 57% people followed by Northern India at 56% and East region at 49%.

    Ashwin Moorthy, Chief Marketing Officer – India, Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL), says, “Goodknight’s ‘ONE MOSQUITO, COUNTLESS THREATS’ is a nationwide survey report that delves into public attitudes and evaluates the risks associated with mosquito-borne diseases. By such initiatives, our goal is to heighten awareness regarding the mosquito problem in India, enable families to act, and offer affordable yet innovative solutions to the country. In India, more than 40 million citizens are affected by mosquito-borne diseases like malaria, dengue, annually. Absenteeism from work, school, social and professional commitments due to illness, healthcare expenses, and reduced productivity, all contribute to economic losses. To maintain the productivity of the Indian economy and keep the GDP score ticking, what is needed on the ground is a steady and healthy workforce. One of the pragmatic ways of addressing this will be to resolve the rising trend of mosquito-borne diseases.”

    Another noteworthy insight from the Goodnight survey is that mosquitoes significantly contribute to people’s inability to sleep well.  Across India, on average, one out of every two adults (50%) identified mosquitoes as amongst the main reason for their sleep disturbances. Interestingly, West India (56%) agree with this statement the most followed by North (52%), South (47%) and East (42%). Furthermore, men (54%) are more inclined to agree with this sentiment compared to women (46%).

    Commenting on the insights from the Goodknight report, Dr. Kirti Sabnis, Infectious Disease Specialist, Fortis Hospital, Mulund, Mumbai, said, “It is critical to understand that a single mosquito possesses the potential to transmit life-threatening diseases. These diminutive, buzzing insects are the silent culprits behind the insidious spread of ailments such as dengue, malaria, and a host of other conditions. They can debilitate the immune system, rendering individuals vulnerable to other illnesses. This persistent threat not only compromises our health but also hampers our ability to lead healthy and productive lives. Safeguarding against mosquito-borne diseases transcends personal responsibility; it is a collective duty we owe to ourselves and our communities.”

    Goodknight is actively engaged in raising public awareness about the dangers posed by mosquitoes and contributing to the national fight against these harmful insects. It has a long history of providing innovative mosquito repellent solutions like the Flash vapouriser and the Advanced Fast Card, protecting families from mosquito-borne diseases. Recognizing the recent health risks of illegal, unregulated, and Chinese chemical-laced mosquito repellent incense sticks, Goodknight recently launched India’s first government-approved, anti-mosquito incense stick, the Goodknight Agarbatti. This innovative product offers consumers a safe alternative to chemical-laden Chinese imports. The launch serves as a call to action, urging stakeholders to collaborate in the ongoing battle against mosquitoes and ensure a healthier future for India.

The all-electric eCanter, marking DICV’s debut in India’s light-duty truck segment, is set to launch in the market within the next 6 to 12 months.

    On a global scale, Daimler Truck is committed to the Paris Climate Protection Agreement, aiming to make CO2-neutral transport a success worldwide to combat climate change. The company envisions its new trucks and buses to be CO2-neutral in Europe, Japan, and the USA by 2039, and globally by 2050. DICV is aligning with Daimler Truck’s global decarbonization vision, working towards a CO2-neutral product portfolio in India as soon as feasible following its core markets.

    Mr. Satyakam Arya, Managing Director & CEO of Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, stated, “Our focus is on preparing for our future products featuring CO2-neutral propulsion technologies in the long term. The upcoming launch of the all-electric eCanter in India within the next 6 to 12 months is our first step towards decarbonizing our entire product portfolio. However, the reality is that both diesel ICE and CO2-neutral propulsion technologies will coexist in the Indian market for the foreseeable future. Factors such as the availability of charging infrastructure, green energy, cost parity, and customer acceptance are crucial for our long-term plan. With the eCanter, our initial aim is to achieve product and service excellence along with customer acceptance. Over the next two decades, we aim to establish ourselves with decarbonized transportation solutions, aiming to become a leader in sustainable transportation in India.”

    DICV is closely monitoring the evolving Indian market landscape. The company’s roadmap for CO2-neutral propulsion technology aligns with Daimler Truck’s global strategy, incorporating battery electric and hydrogen-based drive technologies. DICV has already collaborated on a BharatBenz hydrogen fuel cell concept coach with a major Indian conglomerate. In the future, DICV plans to introduce trucks across various utility segments catering to long haul, mining, construction, POL, dumper, RMC, and other freight and terrain requirements.

    “LNG, if used, will serve as an interim solution for long haul transportation. Our primary focus will be on battery-electric and hydrogen-based propulsion technologies across our future product portfolio, in a phased manner. We are committed to offering the right vehicles when the market demands,” Mr. Arya mentioned.

    The all-electric eCanter for India is currently undergoing advanced trials. The battery electric platform originated in Japan, where series production of the first-generation eCanter began in 2017. The latest Next-Generation eCanter was globally unveiled in Japan and Europe in the latter half of 2022. Since its launch in 2017, the eCanter has seen success in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong, with hundreds of units sold. The new eCanter is set to have a significant presence in major markets worldwide with a variety of 100 variants.

    India’s CO2-neutral propulsion technology market is still nascent but holds significant potential in the long term. With India being a renowned base for R&D, it is poised to become a hub for product development with the introduction of new technologies. However, conducive policies and a competitive market environment are essential for India to thrive and compete globally.

    Discussing the importance of a favourable policy framework for economic viability, Mr Arya added, “The successful adoption of CO2-neutral vehicles hinges on consumer acceptance regarding changes in total cost of ownership. This underscores the critical role of important factors in the success of sustainable mobility solutions. Through our entry into CO2-neutral propulsion technologies, DICV aims to contribute to India’s journey towards becoming one of the world’s top five commercial vehicle markets.”

  • Nuego launches India’s first long-haul electric AC seater & sleeper bus service

    New Delhi: NueGo, a pioneer in sustainable mass mobility, is set to revolutionise the long-distance travel journey with the launch of India’s first intercity electric bus service. This is a significant step towards decarbonization and creating a more sustainable public transportation ecosystem in India. There is a growing adoption of electric buses by consumers, as they produce zero tailpipe emissions and reduce air pollution.

    NueGo deployed multiple seater + sleeper buses on its major routes across India such as Bengaluru – Chennai, Bengaluru – Coimbatore, Vijaywada – Vizag, Delhi – Jaipur, Delhi – Amritsar. NueGo is planning to expand its operations by launching new routes and build charging infrastructure to ensure smooth on-road operations. NueGo is also actively hiring across genders to increase inclusivity in its workforce and is the only bus brand to have women coach captains.

    Devndra Chawla, MD & CEO of GreenCell Mobility, commented on the debut, saying, “NueGo is revolutionizing intercity bus travel with the launch of India’s 1st long-haul Electric AC Sleeper Bus service. This marks a significant milestone in advancing sustainable mass mobility across India and is consistent with our commitment to providing innovative solutions that benefit both the travellers and the environment. We are also elevating the long-distance travel experience for our guests by incorporating smart technologies and emphasising on comfort, safety, and world-class amenities.”

    The cutting-edge buses have an aerodynamically designed FRP front fascia, a rollover-engineered structure to enhance passenger safety, and a weight-optimised GI tubular construction for better cruise mileage.
