IMARC Engineering Introduces End-to-End Factory Setup Services in India, Targeting Greenfield and Brownfield Manufacturing Investors

Published

on

The company provides integrated support across land acquisition, feasibility studies, regulatory approvals, EPCM, ESG compliance, and commissioning for manufacturing projects across India.

NOIDA, India, June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — IMARC Engineering, a leading Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) advisory firm, offers comprehensive end-to-end factory setup services in India, supporting manufacturers and investors across land acquisition, feasibility studies, regulatory approvals, EPCM, ESG compliance, and commissioning for greenfield and brownfield manufacturing projects.

India’s Manufacturing Moment and the Gap IMARC Engineering Fills

India’s manufacturing sector is at a defining inflection point. Manufacturing private corporate capital expenditures constituted more than 50% of the total CAPEX in the year 2025-26, and industrial production growth rate witnessed an increase of 4.9% in April 2026. Even amidst the global slowdown, India surpassed market estimates in industrial growth rate owing to the PLI schemes introduced by the Government of India amounting to INR 1.97 lakh crore, and the national target of manufacturing industry to contribute 25% of the country’s GDP by 2030 has led to waves of investments.

However, the process from investment decisions to operational plants is difficult to navigate for most of the investors due to the multi-tiered regulatory environment associated with industrial projects in India, including environmental clearances under the EIA Notification 2006; consent to establish from the CPCB and State Pollution Control Boards; factory plans’ approval under the Factories Act 1948; fire NOCs under NBC 2016; IBR clearances for the pressure systems and various other sectoral authorizations from CDSCO, FSSAI, and PESO.

IMARC Engineering was established to bridge exactly this gap, acting as a single, accountable delivery partner that manages every stage of the manufacturing project lifecycle, from the first investment conversation to the day commercial production begins.

Leadership Perspective

“India’s manufacturing sector is witnessing unprecedented investment activity across pharmaceuticals, electronics, food processing, chemicals, and advanced manufacturing. However, investors often face significant challenges related to land acquisition, regulatory approvals, engineering coordination, and project execution. IMARC Engineering was established to help investors navigate these complexities through an integrated project delivery approach that supports every stage of the manufacturing lifecycle, from concept to commissioning.” — Harpreet Singh, Associate Vice President – Business Research and Consulting Solution, IMARC Engineering

A Full-Spectrum EPCM Offering Built for Indian Market Realities

IMARC Engineering’s factory setup services span the complete project lifecycle, including feasibility studies, site selection, engineering design, procurement support, project execution, regulatory compliance, ESG advisory, commissioning, and operational readiness.

In the pre-investment phase, IMARC Engineering performs comprehensive feasibility studies, location analysis, and site selection, assessing candidate sites based on criteria like connectivity, power & water supply availability, strength of the labor market, relevant state incentives, and availability of materials from nearby locations. The company also assists in land procurement, legal due diligence, CapEx & OpEx analysis, industrial licensing & incentives advisory, risk assessment, and technical due diligence for the investor.

On the engineering side, the company’s multidisciplinary teams handle plant layout and process flow design, civil and structural MEP design and validation, equipment selection, utilities planning across water, power, HVAC, and steam, fire safety and security system design, cleanroom and cold chain design, waste management system planning, and 3D modelling and digital twin simulations. Procurement support spans supplier identification and evaluation, competitive tendering and bid evaluation, Bill of Materials preparation, vendor audits, logistics optimization, and spare parts and inventory planning.

Greenfield Project Management: From Undeveloped Land to Operational Facility

For investors who wish to develop industrial facilities through greenfield project development on virgin land, IMARC Engineering provides well-defined greenfield project management that includes site master planning, statutory clearances, engineering, procurement of machinery, construction and commissioning of the entire plant through a single integrated project management framework. The usual duration for greenfield projects in India is 18-36 months from finalizing the site until handing over the project to the investor.

The company’s greenfield capabilities span pharmaceuticals, food and beverage processing, chemicals, FMCG, medical devices, agrochemicals, automotive components, energy and power infrastructure, and general industrial manufacturing. All project deliverables are aligned with IFC Performance Standards, GMP practices, FSSAI guidelines, PESO regulations, and Indian Standards codes, ensuring that projects meet both domestic regulatory requirements and the due diligence criteria of international lenders and institutional investors.

Brownfield Project Management: Expanding and Modernizing Live Operations

IMARC Engineering supports manufacturers with brownfield project management services focused on capacity expansion, process optimization, automation upgrades, sustainability initiatives, and ESG integration. The company’s expertise lies in upgrading facilities in operational manufacturing sites by developing an installation sequence, scheduling shutdowns and conducting parallel works, thus minimizing disruption to ongoing production and business operations while still achieving the goal of expansion.

A brownfield project is always faster in its time-to-value ratio and low-capital intensity per unit of capacity addition than greenfield construction projects. IMARC Engineering handles all compliance related to brownfield projects, which includes modifications to the SPCB consent to operate, license under the Factories Act, NOC for fire department, and other sector-wise regulations to ensure commercial approval of the expanded facility.

ESG and Sustainability Built into Every Project

Environmental, Social, and Governance compliance is embedded into IMARC Engineering’s project methodology from the earliest design stage, not treated as an add-on at the end. The company provides ESG compliance advisory, environmental impact and sustainability studies, green building certification support under LEED and IGBC frameworks, environmental compliance audits, health and safety compliance audits, and EHS training programs.

Energy-efficient facility designs, renewable energy integration planning, and waste reduction strategies are standard components of the engineering brief, ensuring that manufacturing facilities meet stakeholder expectations and are positioned for long-term operational and regulatory resilience.

Serving Both Domestic and International Manufacturing Investors

IMARC Engineering’s services are available to a broad spectrum of manufacturing investors, including domestic Indian companies scaling production capacity, multinational corporations establishing Indian subsidiaries or joint ventures, private equity-backed platforms building manufacturing assets, and export-oriented manufacturers seeking to leverage India’s PLI incentive frameworks.

International investors also benefit from the company’s expertise in company incorporation support, FDI structuring guidance, and market entry advisory, services that facilitate the establishment of wholly owned subsidiaries or project-specific vehicles under DPIIT’s automatic FDI route, which allows 100% foreign direct investment in most manufacturing sectors without prior government approval.

Through its international client engagements and industry expertise, IMARC Engineering supports manufacturing and industrial projects across multiple global markets while operating from its headquarters in Noida, India. The company serves clients across pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food and beverage, automotive, energy and power, agriculture, technology, infrastructure, and general manufacturing sectors.

dxFeed Introduces ZeroDTE to Bring Greater Transparency to 0DTE Trading Risk

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — dxFeed, a global provider of market data and financial technology solutions, introduced dxFeed ZeroDTE, a new quantitative analytics solution designed to bring greater transparency and precision to the rapidly growing market for zero-days-to-expiration (0DTE) options.

Developed by dxFeed’s AI & Quant Research team, the solution transforms live SPX and XSP options data into comprehensive pricing and risk analytics, enabling brokers, trading platforms, and analytics providers to give traders a clearer understanding of potential outcomes before entering a trade.

The introduction comes as 0DTE options continue to reshape US derivatives markets. According to Cboe, same-day contracts accounted for approximately 65%* of SPX options trading volume in Q3 2026, averaging a record 3.2 million contracts daily. Yet the analytical tools available to traders have not always kept pace with this growth, particularly when it comes to understanding the risks behind complex, multi-leg strategies — a challenge previously highlighted by Jon Light, Senior Director of Product Management, Devexperts.

Beyond Probability of Profit: Understanding the Full Risk
While conventional trading interfaces typically display strikes, premiums, and margin requirements, ZeroDTE reveals the market-implied probabilities behind each strategy, including the likelihood of retaining the full premium, experiencing a partial loss, or reaching the maximum possible loss.

Unlike traditional probability calculations based on a single implied volatility estimate or delta, the solution analyzes the entire live options chain, incorporating the volatility smile and distribution tails to deliver a consistent view of market-implied outcomes.

Through a single API integration, platforms can provide traders with:

Market-implied probabilities of different profit and loss outcomes.Fair value comparisons against displayed market prices.Maximum profit, maximum loss, and break-even levels for individual strategies.Market-implied distribution of today’s close, derived from live options data.Strategies defined in units of the day’s priced move, so the same structure can be compared across days and market conditions .

Supporting popular structures including iron condors, butterflies, straddles, strangles, and vertical spreads, the service brings sophisticated quantitative analytics directly into the trading experience.

“Retail platforms are good at showing a probability of profit, and most will show the maximum loss as well. What they don’t show is how likely that loss is,” said Anton Antonov, Head of AI & Quant Research at dxFeed. “ZeroDTE puts the odds next to the worst case: the chance of keeping the credit, of a partial loss and of the maximum loss, read from the whole option chain rather than a single volatility number. Rather than predicting where the market will go, we give traders the tools to understand what current options prices imply, evaluate different strategies consistently, and make more informed decisions.”

Expanding dxFeed’s Intelligent Market Data Ecosystem
ZeroDTE marks another milestone in dxFeed’s evolution from market data delivery toward advanced analytics, quantitative research, and intelligent financial technology.

The solution joins dxFeed’s growing portfolio of innovative technologies, including SummerFox, its award-winning AI-powered market intelligence solution; Grenadier, an AI-based market data anomaly detection technology; and dxScript, an AI-assisted scripting environment for custom market analytics and indicators.

Together, these solutions reinforce dxFeed’s commitment to transforming high-quality financial data into accessible, actionable intelligence for the global trading community.

The new analytics capabilities have already been integrated into DXcharts, demonstrating how advanced options risk metrics can be incorporated directly into trading and charting interfaces.

For a deeper look at the technical capabilities, key features, and practical applications of ZeroDTE, explore our in-depth article.

One Third of Florida’s Banks and Credit Unions Not Yet Protected Against Future Quantum Decryption, Open-Source Scan Finds

Published

on

By

Manteiga Foundation publishes a state-of-readiness note on 81 Florida institutions: nothing is broken today, the risk is time, and for most the fix is one setting

MIAMI, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Of 81 Florida-headquartered banks and credit unions, 54 already protect their customers’ connections against future quantum decryption and 27 do not yet, according to a state-of-readiness note published today by Manteiga Foundation, a Florida public benefit company. The note, the first from the foundation’s Quantum Ready Labs, lists every institution and its result: quantumreadylabs.com/studies/florida-financial-2026q4.

Nothing is broken today. No account, login or transaction is at risk from what the note describes; every connection tested is encrypted with algorithms no existing computer can break.

The risk is time. Encrypted traffic can be recorded now and decrypted once a large enough quantum computer exists, so anything that must stay confidential for years is already inside the window. That window is narrowing: in 2025 the estimated size of the machine needed to break today’s key exchange fell from about twenty million qubits to under one million, and NIST has set 2030 to begin retiring today’s key exchange and 2035 to end it. Browsers already protect traffic the new way.

The fix is small. The 27 split in two. Ten are Exposed, their sites still on a protocol generation that cannot carry post-quantum protection; the next step is to enable TLS 1.3. Seventeen are At risk, on a modern protocol with the protection not switched on; the next step is one setting, the post-quantum key exchange (X25519MLKEM768), a configuration line or a toggle on current servers. The 54 are Protected (30) or Ready (24). The median score is 85 of 100; the note uses four plain words, no letter grades.

“Nothing is broken today, and that is exactly why this is the moment to act,” said Jaime Manteiga, Co-Founder of Manteiga Foundation. “Confidentiality is the urgent part of the quantum transition, the fix is small, and most of these institutions are one setting away. We built the scanner so that anyone can see where a host stands in a second and what to do next.”

Quantum Ready Labs is free and open source under the MIT licence. Typing a host name at quantumreadylabs.com opens a handful of connections to it, as a browser visit would, and returns the stage, a score for quantum readiness alone, the one next step and the standards cited (NIST IR 8547, FIPS 203, CNSA 2.0), shareable by link or as a five-page PDF; an open API runs the same test for services.

Each institution’s public primary domain was tested on October 18, 2026 with fourteen TLS handshakes and one ordinary connection; no page was opened, no login attempted. Every Exposed result was cross-checked with OpenSSL and curl. The population, from public regulator lists with each domain verified, will be re-scanned quarterly; any institution can run a fresh test at once.

For organizations that want help making the change, the foundation operates N30.ai, its cybersecurity consulting practice. The scanner and its results stay free and open.
