Talking to presspersons, Mr Ravi Pandit, President, MCCIA, said the selection committee comprising about 10 panelists have shortlisted four products for this year's awards. These include ultrasonic flowmeter, fleetlog vehicle, encast 100 systems and services offered for ecological management.

The ultrasonic flow meter, developed by Chetas Control Systems Pvt Ltd, is used for the measurement of flow and velocity of all kinds of liquids in water sector/process industries.
