IMD Weather Update: Light Rainfall likely to lash Delhi, No Heatwave in next…, Mumbai to witness…

Mumbai Rains- File image New Delhi: Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 37.5 degrees Celsius on Sunday that is 2.6 degrees Celsius above the usual for this time of year, as per the India Meteorological Department (IMD). On the other hand, the minimum temperature was recorded at 28.8 degrees Celsius, which is 1.5 notches above normal. Additionally, the national capital is likely to witness light to moderate rain alongside a generally cloudy sky on Monday. Although, as per the weather department, this could be accompanies with thunderstorms and lightning. The maximum temperature could go upto 33-35 degrees Celsius while the minimum temperature might settle at 26-28 degrees Celsius in Delhi as per IMD. Weather in Delhi NCR Along with Delhi, areas in the National Capital Region (NCR) including Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, and Gurugram are also likely to witness light to moderate rainfall accompanied by lightning and thunderstorms. Similar weather conditions are likely to continue throughout the week, ending on Saturday, August 2, 2025. It is also to be noted that no heatwave is expected this entire week. Weather in Other Parts of India According to the weather department, heavy to extremely heavy rainfall is expected to be witnessed in parts of East Rajasthan, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, coastal Karnataka, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, south interior Karnataka, Uttarakhand and west Uttar Pradesh on Monday. Heavy rainfall might also be witnessed in some isolated parts of Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Kerala and Mahe, Konkan and Goa, Saurashtra and Kutch, West Bengal and Sikkim and West Rajasthan. 'Thunderstorm accompanied with lightning & gusty winds (30-40kmph) very likely at isolated places over Andaman Nicobar islands, Bihar, gangetic West Bengal, Jammu-Kashmir-Ladakh-Gilgit-Baltistan-Muzaffarabad, Jharkhand, Odisha and Telangana,' the IMD said. Some isolated places are very likely to be hit by thunderstorm accompanied with lightning on Monday. These includes places over Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Meghalaya, Chhattisgarh, coastal Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karaikal, Uttarakhand and west Uttar Pradesh.

What are End-of-Life Vehicles? Why does SC's hearing on Delhi's blanket ban on overage diesel, petrol vehicles matter?

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the Chief Minister Rekha Gupta-led government's plea challenging the blanket ban on overaged vehicles. As per the top court's October 29 directive, diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years are illegal in Delhi-NCR. It's time to learn more about End-of-Life Vehicles. 'End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV)' is a term that refers to waste vehicles and is used for overage motorcars in Delhi-NCR as per the state laws. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), ELV refers to vehicles that are no longer legally valid as per state law and are declared unfit by the Automated Fitness Centres. Vehicles whose registrations have been cancelled under Chapter IV of the Motor Vehicles Act or have been declared waste vehicles by a Court order also fall into this category and are not allowed to ply on roads. Following directions of the National Green Tribunal, Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) revised End-of- Life Vehicles (ELV) guidelines in 2018. These guidelines were amended again in 2023 to align with Motor Vehicles Rules 2021. The NGT said in its November 26, 2014, order, 'All vehicles, diesel or petrol, which are more than 15 years old shall not be permitted to ply on the roads and wherever such vehicles of this age are noticed, the concerned authorities shall take appropriate steps in accordance with law, including seizure of the vehicles in accordance with the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act.' The petition moved by Delhi government will reportedly be heard by a three-judge bench. Chief Justice BR Gavai is likely to preside over the hearing. Seeking to recall the top court's October 29, 2018, order upholding the National Green Tribunal's initial directive, the plea urges a comprehensive study focused on scientific methods using emission-based criteria in contrast with the environmental benefits of age-based restrictions. The petition submitted before the Supreme Court on Friday states, 'To tackle pollution in the NCR region, a comprehensive policy is required which gives vehicle fitness based on actual emission levels of individual vehicles as per scientific methods rather than implementing a blanket ban based solely on age." The government argues that Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) engines emit less pollution compared to BS-IV vehicles that were standard when the original order was passed.

China's Rare Earth Grip: Supply shock may hit Indian industry, exports and bank books

India's key industrial sectors ranging from transport equipment to electronics, rely significantly on rare earth imports, with China being the dominant supplier. A recent SBI analysis suggests that ongoing curbs on Chinese rare earth exports could influence domestic production, export competitiveness, and, to some extent, the financial exposure of banks linked to these industries. The top sectors impacted by China's ban include – Transport equipment, basic metals, machinery, construction and electrical and electronics, as per the analysis. Both domestic production and exports will be impacted.

However, it should be kept in mind vulnerability is also a function of available inventory of rare earth and disruption is not immediate uniformly across sectors." ET Bureau According to SBI, the possible transmission mechanism to banks due to rare earth supply shock under aggravated scenario may include: • Elongation of working capital cycle due to accumulation of semi-processed inventory, idle capacity etc. Live Events • Volatility in demand due to output inoperability • Likely emergence of stress in both upstream and downstream sectors • Interlinkages from NBFC sector to banking sector • Export / trade uncertainties for committed yet unfulfilled obligations; both funds as also non-funds based (due to sudden restrictions). ET Bureau An analysis of India's trade data shows that the country's total imports of rare earth elements and related compounds have averaged around $33 million annually over the past four years, with FY25 imports at $31.9 million. Imports of magnets have been significantly higher, averaging $249 million during the same period and rising to $291 million in FY25. The study highlights that direct absorption of rare earths is concentrated in six core sectors, notably basic metals and electrical and optical equipment. In the case of magnets, usage is primarily concentrated in the automotive, electrical and electronics, and machinery sectors. A granular, sector-by-sector analysis—factoring in both direct rare earth inputs and the embodied rare earth content in magnets (assumed at 33% by weight)—was undertaken from two angles: final demand and export demand. The rare earth footprint, measured in kilograms, serves as an approximate indicator of how vulnerable sectoral output may be to disruptions in the supply of rare earths or related value-added materials. What makes Rare Earths so valuable? Rare earth is a subset of critical mineral with wide application in many emerging technologies. Critical minerals (including rare earth) form an important part of the modern production process because of their unique physical, chemical properties in reducing energy consumption, achieve miniaturization and thermal stability. During the last three decades, there has been an explosion in the applications of rare earth and their alloys in several technology devices. Because of their unique physical, chemical, magnetic, luminescent properties, these elements help to make many technological advantages such as reduced energy consumption, miniaturization, durability and thermal stability. In recent years, demand for rare earth is particularly on rise in energy efficient gadgets (green technology) which are faster, lighter, smaller and more efficient.
