Dublin, Feb. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "India Solar Inverter Market (2020-2026): Market Forecast by Types,?by System Type, by Applications, by Power Rating, by Regions, and Competitive Landscape" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The India Solar Inverter Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.4% during 2020-2026F. The Indian solar inverter market grew at a considerable rate during the period 2016-2019 as a result of several government efforts to improve the share of solar power in the country's energy generation mix such as the National Solar Mission by the Government of India targeting 100 GW solar energy by the year 2022. Rising consumer awareness, the growing participation of residential and commercial segments towards solar system installations, supportive government policies & solar schemes, and increasing private sector involvement are the other major factors contributing to the growth of the solar inverter market in India. However, the ongoing pandemic COVID-19 slowed down the growth rate of market revenues during the year 2020 as a result of a decline in market demand in the lockdown phase across the country. Moreover, with the gradual opening of the economy and removal of lockdown measures, the market began to show signs of improvement during the second half of the year and is anticipated to return to a normal growth trajectory in the upcoming years. Increasing environmental awareness, financial support from the government in the form of subsidies, new initiatives and targets for renewable energy launched by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) would further drive the solar inverter market revenues in India over the coming years. The market is dominated by the utility sector owing to its large-scale solar projects deploying a large number of solar inverters. Further, the commercial segment is estimated to exhibit the highest growth rate during the forecast period. The high growth is attributed to growing solar installations across educational institutes, offices, factories, hospitals, and warehouses. In addition, the residential segment is also exhibiting significant growth with a focus on sustainable development and overlaying the rising power cost in the country. Government initiatives such as the Smart City project, the development of solar parks, and the solar energy subsidy scheme would further accelerate the adoption of solar installations across residential and commercial segments. Moreover, among system types, on-grid systems dominated the market in 2019 owing to huge adoption across different applications, whereas, off-grid systems are majorly limited to rural electrification applications only however, growth is expected in coming years. The India solar inverter market report comprehensively covers the market by type, system type, power rating, application and region. The India solar inverter market outlook report provides an unbiased and detailed analysis of the India solar inverter market trends, opportunities, high growth areas and market drivers which would help the stakeholders to devise and align their market strategies according to the current and future market dynamics.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia — A Bosnian court sentenced on Thursday a Bosnian Muslim man to six years in prison on charges that he fought for the Islamic State group in Syria. Jasmin Keserovic, who has spent nearly seven years in Syria, was also charged with inciting others to take part in terrorist activities. Judges said that by publicly calling on Muslims to kill Christian soldiers and civilians alike, the defendant “demonstrated specific ruthlessness.” Hudges rejected defence claims that Keserovic was in Syria for charity work to help the local population amid the war. He was part of a group of seven Bosnian men flown back to Bosnia from Syria on a U.S. Air Force flight in December 2019 along with 18 women and children. In 2014, Bosnia became the first country in Europe to introduce prison terms for its citizens who fought abroad. Fighters who have since returned to the country were tried and, in most cases, sentenced to prison. The Associated Press

Despite having a drawer full of leggings, you almost certainly have one favourite pair that you always return to; soft, comfy and good for all activities. It’s always a good day when those leggings are clean out of the wash, ready for you to wear. This is because all your other leggings probably have one teeny thing that stops them from being perfect. Perhaps they’re compression leggings and a little bit too tight. Perhaps the waistband doesn’t come up quite high enough, leaving your tummy feeling vulnerable. Perhaps they’re just really hard to put on and pull off again, because let’s face it, no one wants to have a wrestling match with Lycra after a hard-fought HIIT workout. Which is why adidas’ new Formotion range is something of a revelation. Consisting of leggings, bras, tops and layering pieces, each item was designed after the team conducted some serious body mapping and research into what women around the world, of all different shapes and sizes, wanted from their activewear. “We’ve had hundreds of women try [the Formotion range] out and test it,” Tricia Shumavon, VP Product of Global Training, tells R29. “Before we put something like this out into the market, we want to make sure that it’s loved and given the stamp of approval from people who work out; whether it be consumer or professional athletes and fitness enthusiasts or influencers.” The Formotion range of leggings was developed for any type of activity, from HIIT to yoga, pilates to running. “It’s seamless so there’s no distraction in the tights,” explains Tricia. “It’s high waisted, which you can wear for any activity and it’s really sculpted to her body so regardless of size or bigger or smaller parts than others, it really fits to who is wearing it.” There’s also support in the form of compression zones which are placed in varying intensities around the waist and hips to help support but not hinder or prevent movement. If you’re after a new pair of favourite leggings that doesn’t let you down in any areas, then these might just be the leggings for you.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Plains Inc. (NASDAQ:GPRE) today announced the pricing of its underwritten public offerings of $175.0 million of common stock at a price to the public of $23.00 per share and the pricing of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2027. The aggregate gross proceeds to the company from the offerings, before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $375.0 million, reflecting an increase from the previously announced $150.0 million of common stock and $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes. The company has also granted the underwriters in the common stock offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,141,500 shares of its common stock on the same terms and conditions and to the underwriters in the convertible notes offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes solely to cover over-allotments. The company expects to use approximately $156.3 million of the net proceeds of the convertible notes offering to repurchase approximately $135.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.125% convertible notes due 2022 (the “2022 notes”), in privately negotiated transactions concurrently with this offering. The company intends to use the balance of the net proceeds from the notes offering and the net proceeds from the common stock offering to repay the 2022 notes remaining outstanding at their maturity date and for general corporate purposes. The notes will bear interest at a rate of 2.25% per year, payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2021, and mature on March 15, 2027. The notes will be general senior, unsecured obligations of the company. On and after March 15, 2024, and prior to the maturity date, the company may redeem, for cash, all, but not less than all, of the notes if the last reported sale price of the company’s common stock equals or exceeds 140% of the applicable conversion price on (i) at least 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date the company delivers notice of the redemption; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date of the redemption notice. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture for the notes), holders of the notes will have the right, at their option, to require the company to repurchase their notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The notes will be convertible, at the option of the holders, into consideration consisting of, at the company’s election, cash, shares of the company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares). However, before September 15, 2026, the notes will not be convertible unless certain conditions are satisfied. The initial conversion rate will be 31.6206 shares of the company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $31.62 per share of the company’s common stock), representing an approximately 37.5% premium over the offering price of the company’s common stock. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, the company may be obligated to increase the conversion rate for any conversion that occurs in connection with certain corporate events, including the company’s calling the notes for redemption. The offerings are expected to close on March 1, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. The closing of each offering is not contingent on the closing of the other offering. Jefferies and BofA Securities are acting as joint book-running managers for both the common stock and convertible notes offerings. Roth Capital Partners, Stephens Inc., Truist Securities, Inc. and Craig-Hallum Capital Group are acting as co-managers of the common stock offering and BMO Capital Markets Corp. and Truist Securities, Inc. are acting as co-managers of the convertible notes offering.

Pfizer Inc and BioNTech SE said on Thursday they are testing a third dose of their COVID-19 vaccine to better understand the immune response against new variants of the virus. They are also in talks with regulatory authorities about testing a vaccine modified to protect specifically against the highly transmissible new variant found in South Africa and elsewhere, known as B.1.351, as a second arm of the same study. The companies believe their current two-dose vaccine will work against the South African variant as well as one found in the United Kingdom and elsewhere.
