"
The policy mandates that residential townships reserve 7% of land for parks and playgrounds, and 8% for public utilities. For industrial townships, 5% land will be earmarked for workers' housing. Additionally, 2.5% land will be held in reserve until project handover to the residents' welfare association or for up to five years after project completion.

"This will help Rajasthan move towards a gas-based economy, reduce carbon emissions, and ensure safe and eco-friendly natural gas availability for the public," he said.

Make peace in 50 days, or face 100% Tariff, Trump tells Russia
US President Trump announced new weapons for Ukraine on Monday, and threatened to hit buyers of Russian exports with sanctions unless Russia agrees a peace deal in 50 days, a major shift in policy brought on by frustration with Moscow. Sitting side-by-side with Nato secretary general Mark Rutte in the Oval Office, Trump told reporters that he was disappointed in Russian President Putin. "My conversations with him are very pleasant, and then the missiles go off at night," said Trump, who indicated that Putin had repeatedly backed out of deals to bring an end to the three-year war with Ukraine. "He's fooled a lot of people," Trump said of Putin, who he called a "tough guy. " "He fooled Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden - he didn't fool me," Trump said. Trump then said that billions of dollars in weapons would be distributed to Ukraine. "We're going to make top-of-the-line weapons, and they'll be sent to Nato," Trump said, adding that Washington's Nato allies would pay for the weapons. The weapons would include Patriot air defence missiles, which Ukraine has urgently sought to defend its cities from Russian air strikes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Get ₹2Cr life cover@ ₹700 p.m. ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo "It's a full complement with the batteries," Trump said. "We're going to have some come very soon, within days... a couple of the countries that have Patriots are going to swap over and will replace the Patriots with the ones they have." Some or all of 17 Patriot batteries ordered by other countries could be sent to Ukraine "very quickly", he said. His threat to impose so-called secondary sanctions on Russia, if carried out, would be a major shift in Western sanctions policy. Lawmakers from both political parties in the US are pushing for a bill that would authorise such measures, targeting other countries that buy Russian oil. Throughout the more than three-year-old war, Western countries have cut off most of their own financial ties to Moscow, but have held back from taking steps that would restrict Russia from selling its oil elsewhere. That has allowed Moscow to continue earning hundreds of billions of dollars from shipping oil to buyers such as China and India. "We're going to be doing secondary tariffs," Trump said. "If we don't have a deal in 50 days, it's very simple, and they'll be at 100%." A White House official said Trump was referring to 100% tariffs on Russian goods as well as secondary sanctions on other countries that buy its exports. Russia sells very little to the US, less than $5 billion in 2023, and smaller amounts since then, so tariffs would make little difference to Russia. Sanctions that punish Russia's energy sector and its customers, as a proposed Senate bill would do, would hurt Moscow much more.

Tech and policy push enables faster adoption of ESG mission
Tech and policy push enables faster adoption of ESG mission India is turning environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges into opportunities, using technology, policy, and innovation to address energy consumption, sustainable construction, and supply-chain vulnerabilities. At a panel on 'Tech for Good: Using Innovation to Solve Real-World Challenges,' industry leaders described how constraints are driving new solutions. B Thiagarajan, MD, Blue Star, said: 'If you bought an AC in 2000 and if you are buying one now, it now consumes only 20 percent energy. Reduction of 80 percent has been achieved.' This, he said, has made energy bills affordable and helped sustain demand. India's strict emission regulations framework has reshaped the power generation industry. 'While only a small fraction of generators in US or UK meet the highest standards, in India, 100 percent of gensets have gone to that kind of emissions,' said Srinivasa Raghavan, executive director at Cummins. Geopolitical tensions and dependence on imported rare earth materials have encouraged domestic innovation and efforts to build more resilient supply networks. India is also progressing in electric vehicle design, said Abanti Sankaranarayanan, EVP at Mahindra Group. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

We have massively scaled our road infrastructure and have digital connectivity. This is one of the largest social fabrics in the world.' CSR funds need better sectoral distribution: Kant It is imperative for companies to define clear outcomes, collaborate with civil society organisations and move from a 'prescription' to 'purpose-led' approach to realise CSR's full potential, said Amitabh Kant , who served in top government positions such as CEO of Niti Aayog and G20 Sherpa, in his keynote address on Day 2 of the summit. It needs to drive deeper, systemic change through collaborations with other corporates, govt bodies and non-profit organisations, he added. More CSR investment needs better geographical and sectoral distribution. More focus is needed on India's Eastern region and for improving nutritional standards. Globally, with emergence of blended finance, a lot of CSR funding will be getting linked to govt funding. Good multilateral funding and blended finance will offer a powerful solution.
