"Using advanced Waste Heat Recovery Boiler (WHRB) technology, the project will convert industrial waste heat into clean electricity, marking a significant milestone in sustainable manufacturing for the region," said Krishan Kumar Jallan, Founder & Chairman of A-One

The WHRB-based captive power plant will repurpose residual heat from the steelmaking process, energy that is traditionally lost to the environment and convert it into a reliable source of green power. This will reduce dependence on grid electricity, lower operational costs, and cut carbon emissions, advancing both environmental goals and energy security, Jallan said.
"By harnessing waste heat to generate clean power, we are demonstrating that responsible manufacturing isn't just good for the environment, it's a strategic advantage that strengthens our competitiveness, supports local communities, and aligns with India's vision of Aatma Nirbhar Bharat," he said.
Manufacturer of high-grade sponge iron, Vanya Steels is part of A-One Steel Group, which is one of South India's largest integrated steel producers.

Who is Larry Ellison? Billionaire surpasses Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg with $275 billion net worth

In a dramatic reshuffling of the global billionaire rankings, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison has surged to the second spot, overtaking and Mark Zuckerberg. His net worth has skyrocketed to an estimated $275.9 billion as of July 2025, following a 32% surge in Oracle's stock in June alone. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Ellison, who still owns nearly 41% of the company, gained more than $56 billion in just over a month. The tech mogul's leap in wealth reflects Oracle's rising influence in cloud computing and AI, making him one of the most powerful figures in the new tech economy, second only to Elon Musk. Larry Ellison's journey from dropout to tech titan Born in 1944 in New York City and raised in a modest Chicago neighborhood by his aunt and uncle, Larry Ellison's path was far from traditional. He dropped out of two colleges before working as a programmer at companies like Amdahl and Ampex. In 1977, he co-founded Oracle with just $2,000 and two partners, Bob Miner and Ed Oates, inspired by a paper on relational databases from IBM. Oracle's first big break came when the CIA contracted Ellison's firm to build a database system, code-named 'Oracle.' That deal gave the company both its name and a high-profile launchpad. Within two years, Oracle released the first commercial SQL-based database product, revolutionizing data management. Oracle's evolution and rise in AI Under Ellison's leadership, Oracle became the global leader in database software and enterprise technology. Even after stepping down as CEO in 2014, Ellison stayed closely involved as chairman and chief technology officer. His strategic push into cloud computing and AI has paid off handsomely. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Oracle's recent growth has been powered by demand for AI-ready infrastructure and enterprise cloud services, placing it in direct competition with tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft. Massive investments in AI, along with strategic acquisitions such as Sun Microsystems and NetSuite, have helped Oracle become a major player in the AI arms race. A billionaire lifestyle with lasting tech impact At 80, Ellison is not only a tech visionary but also one of the world's most flamboyant billionaires. He owns multiple properties, including a Hawaiian island (Lanai), luxury yachts, and high-end real estate in California and Japan. Despite his wealth, Ellison remains deeply involved in Oracle's innovation strategy. Ellison's rise is not just a story of stock gains. It is a reminder that foundational tech infrastructure, often overshadowed by social media and e-commerce, is once again central to the digital economy. From building databases in the 1970s to driving AI innovation in the 2020s, Ellison's influence spans nearly five decades of tech evolution.

Tech-driven overhaul of surface parking by MCD, 82 sites up for bidding

NEW DELHI: The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is rolling out a tech-driven overhaul of the city's surface parking system, mandating digital billing, real-time monitoring, and stricter enforcement, backed by a fresh e-tender for allotting 82 authorised parking lots across the capital, an official said. The civic body has mandated that all parking sites, spread across busy markets, residential zones and commercial hubs, be managed through the 'MyParkings' mobile application, in order to curb overcharging, eliminate manual slips and boost transparency. The app is now compulsory for all contractors issuing parking slips through handheld digital devices synced in real time. Any attempt to bypass the digital system will attract penalties of up to Rs 2 lakh and termination of the contract, according to the tender. The tender outlines 82 parking sites, including three cluster sites, which will be auctioned to private operators on a monthly licence fee basis.

KOCHI: Kochi's tourism landscape just got an exhilarating new addition with the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) rolling out its open-top double-decker bus service in the city. Industries Minister P Rajeeve flagged off the service in a function held at the Ernakulam Boat Jetty on Tuesday evening. The daily evening trips, designed to offer unparalleled panoramic views of the city's coastal front, promise to transform how visitors and locals alike experience the city's breathtaking vistas. The refurbished bus has 39 seats in the upper deck and 24 seats in the lower deck. Tickets have been priced at Rs 300 per person for the open-top upper deck, to soak in the picturesque coastal scenery of Kochi from an elevated perspective. At the same time, those travelling in the lower deck will be charged only Rs 150 per person. 'There will be only a single trip in a day. The 'City Tour' will start daily from the Ernakulam KSRTC bus stand at 5pm and return to the stand by 8pm. The bus will ply 29km during the three-hour city tour,' said R Udayakumar, chief traffic officer of KSRTC Budget Tourism Cell. The double-decker can also be rented out by tourists who arrive in groups or for small celebrations. 'The bus can be booked for operation at any time other than the slot for the daily trips for Rs 15,300. Advance booking can be done either through the corporation's online website or by contacting 9447223212." As the double-decker cruises along key routes, passengers can enjoy and capture unforgettable moments of Kochi's iconic landmarks, bustling streets, and serene backwater fronts.
