Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 18: Azad Engineering, a leader in precision engineering, marked another significant milestone today with the inauguration of its lean manufacturing facility designed to meet capacity commitments to Siemens Energy at Azad’s Centre of Excellence & Innovation Centre in Tunikibollaram, Hyderabad.

The 7,200 sq. mts. state-of-the-art facility was inaugurated by the following senior leadership from Siemens Energy: Mr. Andreas Schmidt, VP Procurement SE GS Central; Mr. Tim Kleinheyer, Head of Commodity Management GSC, Mr. Mudit Jain, Country Business Segment Manager, SE TI STG, Mr. Martin Pokorný, Head of Procurement SE TI STG P Bruno; Mr. Sascha Hass, Global Commodity Manager Mapa GSC; Mr. Marek Novotný, Commodity Manager TI STG, Mr. Amol Tyagi, Head of Procurement SE TI STG, Vadodara, Mr. Abhaysinh Raut, Regional Commodity Manager GS C, Mr. Uttam Shinde, Regional Supplier Quality Engineer along with Mr. PVS Raju, and Mr. Rakesh Chopdar, Chairman and CEO of Azad Engineering.

This lean manufacturing facility marks a major milestone for Azad Engineering. The collaboration between Azad and Siemens Energy commenced in 2012 with the supply of highly critical rotating airfoils for just two stages of SGT 400 machines. As the first challenge given by Siemens Energy, Azad successfully manufactured complex parts and received approval, marking the beginning of a trusted partnership. What began as a focused collaboration has now evolved into a comprehensive relationship encompassing the delivery of airfoils and critical machining parts to the entire Siemens Energy ecosystem, demonstrating a shared commitment to excellence.

Over the past 12+ years, Azad has undergone extensive qualification processes and technological advancement to become a trusted partner to Siemens Energy. The journey involved mastering complex manufacturing techniques, intensive audits, investing significantly in specialized equipment and skills development, and successfully navigating demanding quality assessments. Each component manufactured required precision tolerances measured in microns, a standard Azad Engineering consistently delivered, demonstrating the company’s commitment to the highest industry standards. Through continuous capability enhancement and vertical integration, Azad has established a strong track record of consistent quality delivery. This has built a foundation of trust that extends beyond technical excellence to include reliable performance under stringent timelines and specifications as well.

Today, Azad Engineering is also a key participant in Siemens Energy’s Lion’s Share program, making it an integral part of their global supply chain strategy.

Key highlights of the facility are that it currently employs over 150 direct skilled professionals and will scale up to around 230 skilled professionals by the end of the year, providing a strong foundation for current operations. It also features cutting-edge technology for high-precision components, and lean principles aimed at enhancing productivity, integrates with Azad’s Centre for Excellence and Innovation and strengthens India’s position in global manufacturing.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Mr. Andreas Schmidt, VP Procurement SE GS Central said: “This opening today is a unique milestone in our collaboration between Azad Engineering and Siemens Energy. Today, here in Hyderabad two companies come stronger together than ever – and this is a perfect fit. The global energy market is growing, which means the baseline for our common business, our common growth is given and better than ever. It’s now up to us to build on what we achieved in the last 13 years and go together to the next level.

With Azad this is a highly engineered company with strong capabilities in multiple areas. A company with high professionals, technical expertise and a passionate leadership team and CEO. And as Siemens Energy we are a global leader in the energy market. We would like to thank you Azad Engineering for this investment, for this strong commitment. We call this not a classical customer – supplier relation, we call it strategic partnership.”

Addressing the gathering, Mr. Rakesh Chopdar, Chairman and CEO of Azad Engineering, said: “The inauguration of this exclusive lean manufacturing facility symbolizes the deep trust and collaboration we’ve built with Siemens Energy over the past 12+ years. From our initial partnership supplying airfoils for SGT 400 machines in 2012 to becoming an integral part of their Lion’s Share program, this journey reflects our shared commitment to engineering excellence and innovation. When Siemens Energy first challenged us with manufacturing these complex parts at the start, successfully delivering and receiving their approval marked the beginning of what has become a transformative relationship. Siemens Energy has been instrumental in helping us elevate our manufacturing capabilities, and this facility is a testament to their confidence in our abilities to deliver world-class precision components. This facility represents more than just our continued expansion. It’s about deepening a partnership that has been transformative for both organizations. With over 150 skilled professionals at this facility and plans to add several hundred more across all plants in Azad COE, we’re building a manufacturing ecosystem that consistently delivers micron-level precision for our global partners. This partnership exemplifies how Indian precision manufacturing has become integral to global supply chains, and we’re proud to contribute to Siemens Energy’s continued success worldwide.”

This marks the third dedicated manufacturing facility Azad has inaugurated in 2025, demonstrating the company’s rapid expansion to meet growing global demand.

The facility is part of Azad’s broader strategy to create dedicated manufacturing capacity for key global OEM partners across aerospace, defence, energy, and oil & gas sectors at its COE & Innovation centre.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 18:  When a family member is suddenly admitted to the hospital in the middle of the night, everything is chaotic, doctors are rushing around, various forms need to be filled out, and then there are the medications. And at that time, when a hospital staff member asks you about the health insurance, and you realise that it has expired and you forgot to renew it, that’s when you truly understand why it’s so important to renew your health insurance on time.

This happens quite often. Most people buy health insurance, feel relieved, and then forget about it until the renewal date comes around. But renewal isn’t just about paying the premium. So, you should follow these best practices when renewing your health insurance.

Why Renewal Can’t Be Ignored

If your mediclaim policy lapses, you don’t just lose coverage for a few days. You also lose no-claim bonuses, waiting period credits, and sometimes even end up paying higher premiums when you reapply. Basically, the insurer treats you like a brand-new customer. Imagine starting from scratch when you’ve already paid for years. This seems very painful, right?

So to avoid this, you can do some simple fixes like set reminders, mark the renewal date in your phone calendar. Some people even put sticky notes on their fridge and office desk. It sounds silly, but when money and health are at stake, reminders are your best friend.

Check If Your Coverage Still Makes Sense

Here’s a question most people don’t ask, Is my current health insurance coverage enough for today’s costs?

Take an example. Two years ago, ₹5 lakh might have covered most treatments in a small city. Today, in metros, even a heart surgery can cross ₹7 to 10 lakh easily. If you’re married now or have kids, the same plan might suddenly feel too small.

So, before you click renew, look at your family size, age, and health needs. Upgrading your coverage now will save you sleepless nights later.

Don’t Just Renew Blindly – Compare Plans

A mistake many people make is loyalty to their insurer. But insurers update their products every year. What was “the best health insurance plan” three years ago might be average today. So, before renewing your mediclaim policy, spend an evening comparing and looking for these:

• Spend an evening comparing. Look for:
• Premiums vs benefits
• Cashless hospital network size
• Add-ons included or excluded
• Claim settlement ratio

When someone checked the medical insurance that he takes for his parents, he found that another insurer is offering almost double the coverage for just ₹1,200 more. That’s like upgrading your phone plan, same price, but better features.

Add-ons That Can Actually Help

At renewal time, you can add riders. They sound boring, but they make a real difference. For example:

• Critical illness rider: Think of it as backup cash if something like cancer or heart disease strikes.
• Maternity cover: If you’re planning a family, this saves huge costs.
• Hospital cash: Covers those random expenses during a stay that insurance doesn’t usually touch.

These aren’t must-haves for everyone, but at least check. Sometimes a small addition makes your best health insurance plans much more helpful.

Hospitals and Claims Matter More Than You Think

When people buy health insurance plans for family, they all focus on premiums. “Oh, this plan is cheaper!” But what happens when they actually need it?

If your favourite hospital isn’t in the insurer’s network, cashless treatment won’t work. That means you’ll pay first and claim later, and this will be stressful during emergencies. Also, check the claim settlement ratio. A fancy plan is useless if claims keep getting rejected.

Sometimes, insurance companies quietly remove hospitals from their network without notifying policyholders. So, always keep an eye on your policy updates and check for any changes.

Premium Payments and Hidden Savings

Most people just pay monthly and forget it. But during renewal, see if the annual payment gives a discount or not. Some insurers even let you lock your premium for 2 to 3 years. Handy if you hate sudden price hikes.

And also don’t forget the tax angle. Under Section 80D, your health insurance premium cuts your taxable income. That’s like the government giving you a pat on the back for protecting your health.

Be Careful with Auto-Renewal

Yes, auto-renewal feels easy. But it can also trap you in an old policy that no longer fits your needs. Terms change, premiums creep up, and exclusions are added quietly. If you’re not checking, you’re basically paying blind.

Think of it like auto-renewing a gym membership you never use. Pointless. Always read the renewal notice carefully. A 10-minute read can save years of regret.

Final Thoughts

Renewing your health insurance isn’t just a chore. It’s a yearly opportunity to review your protection, upgrade where needed, and make sure your family is financially safe. Don’t let your mediclaim policy just roll over without thought. Compare health insurance plans, check hospitals, add riders if they fit your life, and make renewal a conscious choice.

Because at the end of the day, buying health insurance is about peace of mind. And peace of mind comes only when you know your plan will actually protect you when you need it most.
