Onlygood announces partnership with AIFI to Drive Sustainability in the Forging Industry

New Delhi, 24th December 2024: Onlygood has recently formed a significant partnership with the Association of Indian Forging Industry (AIFI), marking a pivotal step towards promoting sustainability within the forging sector. This collaboration is designed to provide AIFI members—who represent a diverse range of industries reliant on forging, including automotive, construction, and machinery—with tailored solutions for carbon tracking and reporting.

The primary goal of this partnership is to empower fabricators to adopt sustainable practices that are increasingly necessary in today’s environmentally conscious landscape. By leveraging Onlygood’s expertise in carbon management, AIFI members will gain access to advanced tools that simplify the process of monitoring emissions. This capability is essential as it allows companies to gain valuable insights into their emissions data, enabling them to implement effective strategies for reduction. The forging industry, which has traditionally faced challenges in aligning with sustainability goals, is now presented with an opportunity to enhance its environmental credentials and diversify its operational practices.

The collaboration comes at a time when industries are under growing pressure to comply with stringent environmental regulations and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability. By working closely with AIFI, Onlygood aims to equip members with the necessary resources to navigate these challenges successfully. This partnership not only facilitates compliance but also fosters a culture of environmental responsibility within the forging sector.

Rajeev Sinha, Co-Founder and CEO of Only good, articulated the vision behind this collaboration by stating that it reflects the company’s commitment to making sustainability accessible for all businesses in the manufacturing sector. He emphasized that through partnerships like the one with AIFI, Onlygood is well-positioned to drive meaningful change in the industry. This initiative will help companies transition toward greener practices while ensuring they meet regulatory requirements effectively.
In summary, the partnership between Onlygood and AIFI represents a strategic alliance aimed at transforming the forging industry’s approach to sustainability. By equipping fabricators with the tools they need to track and reduce their carbon footprints, this collaboration stands to make a significant impact on both individual companies and the industry as a whole, paving the way for a more sustainable future.

Delhi, the capital of India with a population of more than 3.3 crore, has long awaited a World-Class Cricket Stadium. The 2nd most populated city of the world, Delhi has missed hosting major World Cup and IPL matches since India vs. England World Cup semi-final played in 1987. The Omaxe State will feature a World-Class, Modern ICC and FIFA-standard International Cricket-cum-Football Stadium with a seating capacity of over 30000, as well as an International Multi-Sports Indoor Stadium that can accommodate 2000 spectators.

The project follows in the footsteps of iconic landmarks such as Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, Accor Arena in Paris, Singapore Sports Hub, and Melbourne Olympic Park to revolutionize India’s sporting and leisure landscape. This groundbreaking project will fill the void and aims to bring world-class sporting events back to Delhi, offering an unparalleled experience and giving Delhiites an opportunity to play, shop, eat and entertain the way world does. The above-mentioned integrated projects are among the most successful projects in their respective countries or cities and contributed to their growth. These are preferred destinations for locals and tourists for shopping, dining, sports, and entertainment needs.

Taking India to the global map, a new state is being developed: The Omaxe State, featuring 5 districts – The Sports District, The Shopping District, The Hospitality District, The Food District, and The Social District. The Omaxe State aims to blend commercial, sports, hospitality, social, and dining facilities into a unique experience in the heart of India.

A highlight of this development is the Food District, inspired by London’s Covent Garden and Carnaby Street. It will be India’s largest F&B space, spanning over 5 lakh square feet, featuring more than 40 fine dining restaurants, night and day clubs, sports bars, three drive-throughs, a large food court, rooftop restaurants, food kiosks, food trucks and banquet facilities.

Adding to the allure, the project features India’s first Air-Conditioned High-Street retail area, with shop fronts extending over 4.2 km, making it the largest private commercial development in Delhi. With 75% of the retail space located on the ground floor, it leverages the superior performance of ground-floor retail. The first floor offers additional retail spaces, a food court, and a five-screen multiplex, all designed with shop heights of 18 and 36 feet to provide a grandeur luxury shopping experience.

Beyond retail, The Omaxe State includes Delhi’s most exclusive invite-only sports and leisure club, a 75,000 sq. ft. E-Sports arena, and a hotel with 148 keys. The complex also features a large banquet space with multi-level parking, an event arena for social and cultural events, an Olympic-sized swimming pool and top-tier facilities for tennis, badminton, squash, basketball, and football.

“Omaxe is humbled by the opportunity to partner with DDA on this transformative project,” said Mohit Goel, Managing Director of Omaxe Group. “With ‘The Omaxe State,’ we aim to provide Delhiites with an international-level experience right here in their own city. This development will bridge a significant gap in Delhi’s infrastructure by offering a world-class venue for sports, shopping, and entertainment. We are thrilled to contribute to the city’s growth and elevate its profile with this unique 5-in-1 destination.”

The project will feature modern, technologically advanced amenities, including 11 entrances, car drop-offs, over 2,200 ECS, and additional surface parking with provisions for future expansion. Strategically located in Sector 19B of Dwarka, Delhi, and developed in collaboration with 24 world-renowned consultants, this project aims to set new standards in urban development. Positioned close to major attractions such as Yashobhoomi (Asia’s largest convention center), IGI Airport (ranked among the world’s top 10 airports), Bharat Vandana Park (spanning 200 acres and one of Delhi’s largest parks, akin to Hyde Park and Central Park), and the upcoming diplomatic enclave with 39 embassies, the project is set to capture significant visitor traffic. The nearby Metrolite light rail system will further enhance accessibility. The project is expected to be completed by 2027 and to generate over Rs 4,200 crore in revenue during its lifecycle.

Omaxe Group’s vision is to provide Delhi with a state-of-the-art commercial, sports, and entertainment hub that not only meets international standards but also becomes a prime landmark in the city.
