Iraq's PM launches gas power plant
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani launched on Saturday the construction works for the first phase of the Second Beiji Gas Power Plant in Salah al-Din Province, with a total capacity of 1,014 megawatts. The Iraqi News Agency (INA) quoted a statement from the Media Office of the Prime Minister, in which Al-Sudani commended the efforts made to prepare for the launch of this vital project, affirming that the energy sector is a cornerstone of any comprehensive development plan. He explained that the government has allocated the necessary financial resources to develop all sectors of electricity—generation, transmission, and distribution—in order to improve energy production across all regions of the country. The project will be implemented by a consortium of Siemens Energy (Germany) and CSCEC (China). The contract includes the rehabilitation of six Siemens gas generation units, each with a capacity of 169 megawatts, for a total capacity of 1,014 megawatts. It also includes the establishment of a load dispatching network consisting of seven circuits at 400 kilovolts, which will feed six lines into the national grid, as well as the construction of a new 132-kilovolt network comprising 16 lines to serve Salah al-Din Province. The first two units are scheduled to be operational within 27 months, followed by the remaining units at a rate of one unit every two months. In April, Mohammed Al-Sudani laid the foundation stone for a giant power plant in the southern Iraqi province of Dhi Qar. With a planned capacity of around 921 megawatts, the new power plant will run on natural gas, with the potential to eventually implement hydrogen mixing technology. The project, which is being carried out by German-based Siemens next to the Nasiriyah Thermal Power Station, is a significant project that will raise the standard of energy supply in Iraq's national grid.

Indian authorities issue watchlist order against Anil Ambani in Rs30-million fraud case
Anil Ambani, Chairman of the Reliance Group, is facing fresh legal trouble as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a lookout circular against him in connection with a suspected loan fraud worth Rs30 million (Dh1.2 million), according to a report by NDTV citing official sources. The move comes on the same day the businessman was summoned by the agency for questioning. He has been asked to appear before the ED on Tuesday (August 5). A lookout circular is typically issued by Indian authorities to prevent individuals from fleeing the country to dodge legal action. It is distributed to all immigration checkpoints — including airports and seaports — and alerts authorities to detain the individual if they attempt to leave Indian borders. The case under investigation involves loans granted by Yes Bank to Reliance Group companies between 2017 and 2019. The ED suspects that roughly Rs30,000,000 million (Dh1.2 million) was diverted from these loans. Officials believe there may have been a quid pro quo, as payments were allegedly made to Yes Bank's promoters shortly before the loans were approved. The ED on July 24 launched widespread raids at over 50 locations linked to the case. These raids, conducted under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, reportedly continued for three days. Despite the mounting scrutiny, Reliance Power and Reliance Infrastructure issued statements to stock exchanges asserting that the ED's raids have had "absolutely no impact" on their business operations, financial health, or stakeholders. "The media reports appear to pertain to allegations concerning transactions of Reliance Communications Limited (RCOM) or Reliance Home Finance Limited (RHFL) which are over 10 years old," the companies had said. Expanding its investigation, the ED has also started probing a separate case involving an alleged fake bank guarantee worth Rs682 million (Dh28.7 million). According to officials, a company called Biswal Tradelink — which allegedly managed a network of shell companies — issued a fraudulent bank guarantee to the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). The scam reportedly involved a spoofed domain (' made to closely resemble that of the State Bank of India (' which was then used to send fake emails and documents meant to mislead SECI and other entities.
