Delhi govt mulling to extend EV policy as new policy still in works
The Delhi government is mulling to extend the EV policy, which will expire on July 15, sources said. The EV policy has been extended multiple times under both the previous AAP regime and the current government led by the BJP. The EV policy will expire on July 15, and the government is considering extending it since the new policy is still in the works, sources said. The government might extend the existing policy for another three months, they added. In June, Delhi Transport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh had said the government plans to roll out the Electric Vehicle Policy 2.0 by next month. The government is exploring multiple options before finalising the EV Policy 2.0. It could also hold a stakeholder consultation to get feedback on the new policy. There is also a possibility that the government could put a draft of the EV Policy 2.0 in the public domain and seek public feedback. Launched in August 2020 as one of the key initiatives of the previous AAP government, the policy aimed to tackle vehicular pollution and push the adoption of electric vehicles to 25 per cent by 2024. Although its initial three-year term ended in August 2023, the government decided to extend it. According to the draft of the EV Policy 2.0, its primary objective is to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles to reduce pollution. It proposes to cover mass categories such as two-wheelers, buses, three-wheelers, and goods carriers, with the aim of transitioning them to electric vehicles. The draft policy also outlines a series of incentives to boost EV adoption. Women riders may be offered a subsidy of up to Rs 36,000 on the purchase of an electric two-wheeler. Similarly, to encourage the use of electric two-wheelers, the government may offer a purchase incentive of Rs 10,000 per kilowatt-hour, capped at Rs 30,000 per vehicle. The policy also aims to generate up to 20,000 jobs during its implementation period and facilitate the establishment of battery collection centres along with a city-wide network of charging and swappable battery stations. The policy, which will be notified after it receives the Cabinet approval, seeks to improve Delhi's air quality by aggressively replacing a large number of fossil fuel-run vehicles. PTI

US energy department to gut funding for solar and wind projects
The Energy Department plans to eliminate hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for major renewable and efficiency projects this year, the latest move by the Trump administration to undo efforts to shift the nation away from fossil fuels. The cuts, which would take money away from projects budgeted for the fiscal year that ends September 30, focus on solar and wind projects, as well as state and local assistance for low-income families, according to an Energy Department document reviewed by The New York Times and Democratic lawmakers in Washington. Critics argue that the moves are illegal because Congress had previously approved the funding for specific projects. In a joint statement about the funding changes, ranking Democrats on the Senate and House energy subcommittees called it a "reckless decision" and demanded the agency immediately reverse its action. They argued that the moves would harm efforts to strengthen US energy independence and drive up costs for all consumers. "This outrageous, unlawful decision by the Trump administration is a direct attack on our energy independence and American families' ability to afford their monthly energy bill," wrote Sen. Patty Murray , D-Wash., and Rep. Marcy Kaptur , D-Ohio. "This isn't a bureaucratic misstep - it's a deliberate, partisan effort to sabotage bipartisan law and redirect funding." In response to inquiries about the cuts, an Energy Department spokesperson said in a statement that the agency is working to "instill a culture of transparence, performance and common sense." "The Department of Energy is working to advance its critical mission of unleashing affordable, reliable and secure energy for all Americans while increasing efficiency and promoting better stewardship of taxpayer dollars," the spokesperson said. The new funding levels "help ensure that the Department accomplishes its critical mission for the American people." The changes would cut up to 90 per cent of the funding from the two fastest growing renewable energy technologies, according to the document, which details planned budget appropriations. Cuts include reducing money for wind power projects to about $30 million from $137 million, and solar power to about $42 million from $318 million. In addition, the plan cuts nearly all of the money from state and local government community energy programs, which help reduce heating and cooling costs and assist with services like home energy audits and increasing insulation in homes. The Trump administration has targeted solar and wind power and energy efficiency programs for funding cuts in its push to reshape the nation's energy future. The administration has emphasized broader use of fossil fuels, including natural gas for electricity and oil for transportation. That strategy also calls for rolling back emissions standards to encourage more use of oil and gas - a major reversal of the Biden administration's policies to reduce carbon emissions and encourage the use of clean energy technologies such as solar and wind power, and electric vehicles. This year, the Energy Department said that it would roll back energy and water conservation standards for a long list of electric and gas appliances. The Environmental Protection Agency is shutting down the popular Energy Star program. The shift away from the clean energy and energy efficiency initiatives could lead to a dramatic increase in costs for all consumers. Solar and onshore wind power are among the least expensive sources of electricity. And energy efficient appliances have helped keep residential electric bills a bit in check. But extreme weather events, driven by climate change, are driving up energy costs as utility companies invest in long-overdue upgrades to the aging power system. And electricity demand has grown in recent years because of energy-hungry data centers that technology companies are using to support the development of artificial intelligence. That growth in demand and the need for increased power supply and storage has created challenges in the reliability of the electric grid. "Solar and storage is the fastest - and in most cases the cheapest - way to meet the skyrocketing demand from AI, data centers, and American innovation," Abigail Ross Hopper , CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association , said in response to the planned cuts. "In the race to ensure global AI leadership and energy independence at home, we should be focused on getting every electron that we can generate on the grid." Solar and wind power have become more readily available to meet some of those needs, along with battery storage. But a lack of supply of massive turbines - used to generate electricity from natural gas - has slowed the construction of new fossil fuel generators, and hopes for new nuclear power plants remain far into the future. Some of the money designated for solar and wind power in the budget has been redistributed to other clean energy resources, such as hydroelectric power and geothermal energy, but those also are expensive to build and can take years to bring online. That has left critics of the cuts questioning the strategy the Trump administration is using at a time of grid constraints and rising costs. The nationwide average cost for the typical 1,000 kilowatt-hours of use by a residential consumer rose almost 4 per cent to $175 a month in April compared to the same time a year ago, according to data from the Energy Information Administration. That has added an even greater burden on those who can least afford the higher costs, who now face cuts to programs like the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, and the community energy assistance dollars. "Both of these programs are incredibly important for affordability," said Mark Toney , executive director of The Utility Reform Network, a California organization that helps low-income energy consumers. "Zeroing out the state community energy programs will directly harm low-income families."

HPTDC urges review of HP govt's decision to outsource loss-making hotels
Before deciding to outsource operations of 14 loss-making hotels, the state Cabinet did not consult the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (HPTDC), whose board of directors had pressed for viability/ feasibility study of loss making hotels, said HPTDC chairman RS Bali on Friday. HPTDC chairman RS Bali said the corporation runs without state grants and still increased its turnover from ₹ 78 crore to ₹ 109 crore in 2.5 years. He said with renovation support, turnover could exceed ₹ 200 crore. (Shutterstock) Addressing a press conference in Shimla, Bali, who also chairs the state's Tourism Development Board, urged the government to reconsider, saying the corporation could turn the properties around with renovation and internal effort. The Cabinet approved the outsourcing plan on June 28 and directives were issued on July 9. The 14 properties in question include Kashmir House (Dharamsala), Roscommon Old (Kasauli), Sarvari (Kullu), Apple Blossom (Fagu), Shiwalik (Parwanoo), Ulh (Jogindernagar), Hill Top (Swarghat), Lakeview (Bilaspur), Bhagal (Darlaghat), Mamleshwar (Chindi-Mandi), Giriganga (Kharapatthar-Shimla), Chanshal (Rohru), Tourist Inn (Rajgarh-Sirmaur) and Wayside Amenity (Bhararighat-Solan). Bali requested time for feasibility studies before outsourcing decisions are finalised. 'We respect the government's authority. Under Article 79 of the Articles of Association, HPTDC is bound to follow government directives. But we also request that the government reviews its decision after allowing us to complete a proper visibility and viability study,' he said. He emphasised that HPTDC runs without state grants and still increased its turnover from ₹78 crore to ₹109 crore in 2.5 years. He said with renovation support, turnover could exceed ₹200 crore. Bali said he had also written to chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu seeking funds specifically for renovation and the CM had given in-principle approval. 'The CM assured us that our renovation project would be included in the Asian Development Bank (ADB) funding plan,' he said. Bali added that HPTDC's hotels, built since 1972, are pride assets. 'We don't just serve food, we spread joy,' he said. 'Thousands of employees serve thousands of rooms across Himachal, and lakhs of tourists feel the warmth of our hospitality. When VIPs like the President or Prime Minister visit, it's our staff that provides their catering,' Bali said. On the relocation of HPTDC's head office to Kangra, he said the board approved it before it went to the Cabinet. He refused to comment on a recent report that the chief secretary did not pay for a private party hosted at an HPTDC hotel
