Prepare reports for power generation for next 20 years: Bhatti
Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka instructed electricity officials to identify 23 locations across the State to bring into large-scale use power from hydel and pumped storage sources, and submit a comprehensive report. He held a review meeting with GENCO and TRANSCO officials at Somasila in Kollapur constituency on Sunday. He reviewed the hydropower projects on the Krishna River from Jurala to Pulichintala, and suggested that if necessary, the services of globally renowned consultants should be utilised. The Deputy CM appreciated the foresight of the Congress government of 1978, which introduced advanced technologies with the help of world-famous Japanese companies like Toshiba and Mitsubishi, conducting deep studies on reverse pumping systems at the time. He praised the visionary thinking of the leaders and engineers of that era. Further, GENCO directors and officials were instructed to draw up plans for sufficient power generation over the next 10 to 20 years in line with increasing demand. He stressed the need to expand the use of alternative energy sources like Green hydrogen, Floating solar, Rooftop solar, Thermal power, Wind energy and battery storage systems.

Tariff tantrums have economists betting RBI biting rate-cut bullet again
MUMBAI: The 25% export duty shocker from the US effective August 7, which if not reversed to a reasonable level may shave off 20-30 bps from this year's growth, has the Mint Road-watchers divided with some calling for a monetary support given the below-target inflation prints while some others calling for caution till the tariff talks are completed. The Reserve Bank-led monetary policy committee begins its bimonthly meeting on Monday and the policy decisions will be announced on Wednesday. The RBI has already cut the policy repo rate by a 100 bps since February with the last meeting delivering an unconventional 50 bps to 5.5%. On July 30, US president Donald Trump unexpectedly announced a 25% flat tariffs on Indian goods along with an unspecified additional penalty on India's energy and military purchases from Russia. The announcement came as a shocker to New Delhi as five rounds of trade talks have been completed and the sixth round is slated for August 25 in the Capital. What was more shocking was that the new tariffs are much more than anticipated and leave Indian goods at a great disadvantage to many of its market rivals. While economists at British brokerage Barclays see the tariff impact to shave 30 bps off GDP this fiscal—RBI has pegged it at 6.5% this fiscal, foreign agencies like the IMF and the Asian Development Bank have pegged it marginally lower at 6.4% and 6.5% respectively, domestic rating agency Icra and Japanese brokerage Nomura have pegged it at 20 bps bringing down growth to 6% this year.

Bengaluru's twin tunnel project to use slurry boring machines for excavation: Report
Plans for Bengaluru's new twin tunnel road, which will link Hebbal's Esteem Mall Junction and Silk Board Junction, will rely on slurry tunnel boring machines (TBMs) to do the heavy digging. A Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM). (Representative image)(PTI) The organization overseeing the project, B-SMILE, opted not to use hard rock TBMs — machines generally preferred when excavating through areas riddled with boulders. Their decision comes after evaluating the city's subsurface, which blends both stones and softer soil, making slurry TBMs a better fit for the job. ALSO READ | Bengaluru resident questions city's liveability after 9 years: 'We're all just surviving' BS Prahlad, the project's technical director, shared that lessons from an earlier tunnel build in Mumbai pushed the team toward slurry-based machines this time around, according to The Hindu. ALSO READ | L&T terminated Corridor-2, Corridor-4 contracts of suburban rail project illegally: K-RIDE For the twin tunnel project, a total of eight tunnel boring machines will be brought in, starting work from five or six launch sites along the nearly 17-kilometre route. The massive venture is structured under a Build, Own, Operate, and Transfer (BOOT) model, which means successful bidders will be responsible for acquiring and managing the machinery, whether they import or locally assemble the TBMs themselves, the report stated. Past tunnel work in Bengaluru — like the Namma Metro — has achieved boring rates between 1.6 and 2 kilometres per year using similar technologies. The exact pace on this project will ultimately depend on the ground composition encountered during the drilling process. As part of the tendering process, the government is providing borewell survey information, but insists that detailed site investigation and analysis will be the winning bidder's responsibility.

Geological experts say the use of slurry TBMs may also help fill and secure natural fractures in Bengaluru's ancient, complex underground rock, some parts of which date back several billion years.
