AI disruptions will be brief as reskilling drives new jobs: Karnataka IT minister Priyank Kharge
ANI Priyank Kharge Disruptions from artificial intelligence (AI) will be brief and new jobs will emerge, Karnataka's IT and Biotechnology Minister Priyank Kharge has said, highlighting the state's large-scale reskilling initiatives are underway to prepare talent for new-age an interview with PTI, Kharge asserted that Karnataka retains a comfortable lead over others in technology, with strong data and performance vectors backing its position. The state encourages innovation and collaboration, ensuring "that any entrepreneur or corporation who dreams of making it big globally, starts from Karnataka", he noted. On the issue of disruptions due to AI, the minister said, Nipuna Karnataka, the state's large-scale reskilling and upskilling initiative, aims at safeguarding and future-proofing its talent pool."While there might be certain job losses, new jobs will be that is why we need a massive reskilling and upskilling programme. So, there will be disruption, but the disruption will be for a brief while, until we are able to reskill and upskill people," he Karnataka is a Rs 300 crore reskilling initiative, industry-driven and industry-focused, with ambitious targets to train talent at scale, he added. In the coming financial year, the state government aims to skill individuals in key areas, like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital forensics, and other technologies, in line with the global tech demands. "We intend to scale over 5,00,000 people in the coming financial year, in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital forensics, and anything that the industry might need. So, we are closely talking to them through our skill council for emerging technologies, taking their feedback, taking their curriculum, and seeing how we can ensure that we give the most affordable and most talented human resources for them."And this programme is just not catering to the local ecosystem, we are catering to the global ecosystem also," Kharge said Karnataka retains its lead over others, and data ranging from IT exports to startups and GCCs play, underscores its competitive strengths."We are far ahead of the curve when it comes to our neighbours or neighbouring states. So, while we love competition, we are not afraid of it. It also helps us pull up our socks," he many as 20,000 startups are registered with the state government, he said, adding that of 110 unicorns, more than 45 are from Bengaluru."We contribute 21% of the national bioeconomy, and 65% of defence electronics manufacturing happens in Karnataka.

This year, just in the last six months, 13.1 million square feet has been given only for GCCs. So, where is the competition? I don't see that," Kharge minister emphasised that the state's policies are backed by strong, actionable outcomes like the recent Quantum Roadmap."We are just not announcing mere policies for the sake of announcing them. So, when we keep the Karnataka quantum roadmap in front, people believe is because over the years, we have managed to build a strong foundation of skills. "We have topped that with incubators, and we have topped up with centres of excellence across sectors. So, I run more than 25 centres of excellence from agritech to space tech. And through these, we are innovating and inventing. On top of that, we have put budgets. On top of that, we put policies," Kharge said.

Jaiprakash bankruptcy case heads to court after bid rejection over EMD
New Delhi-based real estate firm Jaiprakash Infratech Ltd is preparing to challenge in court the rejection of its bid to acquire Jaiprakash Associates Ltd, potentially delaying the bankruptcy resolution of the debt-laden infrastructure and cement major. Lenders turned down Jaiprakash Infratech's offer citing an insufficient earnest money deposit (EMD), according to people familiar with the matter. The company had proposed a lien over fixed deposits in place of a ₹100 crore deposit. However, the bid was rejected on grounds of non-compliance with the prescribed format and delays in submission. 'The lien over the fixed deposits was legally valid and submitted on time,' said a person close to the company, who asked not to be named. 'We have no option but to move the court and remain in the race.' Jaiprakash Infratech was taken over by Mumbai-based Suraksha Group in June 2024. The firm is currently focused on completing stalled housing projects that have left homebuyers waiting for over a decade. Jaiprakash Associates was referred for debt resolution after defaulting on loans worth ₹57,000 crore. In March, Indian lenders transferred the dues to the National Asset Reconstruction Company (NARCL). The resolution process may now face further delay, even as Gautam Adani's group has emerged as the lead contender with an unconditional bid. Competing offers from Dalmia Bharat, Vedanta Group, Jindal Power, and PNC Infratech reportedly include various conditions. Lenders have asked all bidders to submit revised, unconditional offers as the process progresses. Several of the conditional offers hinge on the fate of Jaiprakash Associates' 1,000-hectare Sports City project in Greater Noida. In March, the Allahabad High Court upheld the cancellation of land allotment for the project by the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority. That decision is currently under appeal in the Supreme Court.

IBA urges govt to provide concessional electricity tariff for CBG plants
New Delhi: Indian Biogas Association (IBA) has urged the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas to provide a concessional electricity tariff for compressed biogas (CBG) plants to boost the clean energy transition. In a comprehensive submission to the ministry, IBA stressed that the cost of electricity is a significant operational expense, averaging 30 per cent of overall OPEX, ranging between 20 per cent and 48 per cent, based on the feedstock used and the scale of the plant, an IBA statement said. According to the statement, IBA has suggested that the government should grant concessional electricity rates to CBG plants, which are at a disadvantage due to high industrial electricity charges that account for as high as 48 per cent of their running costs. The association's detailed cost study indicates that at an average industrial tariff of Rs 7 per kWh, electricity takes up a significant portion of the overall operating costs of commercial-scale CBG plants, like 34 per cent in paddy straw-based plants, 28 per cent in press mud-based plants, 19 per cent in cow dung-based plants, and as high as 48 per cent in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)-based plants. IBA's suggestion to the ministry to shift from applicable industrial tariffs for electricity (average rate of Rs 7 per kWh) to domestic tariffs (Rs 4.5 per kWh) would provide significant cost savings across all categories of feedstocks, and this tariff reform would make the sector much more operationally viable. IBA Chairman Gaurav Kedia said, "The CBG industry is a keystone in achieving India's Panchamrit commitments announced at COP26. By easing the cost burden of electricity for CBG plants, we can drive our 50 per cent non-fossil energy transition by 2030 and underpin our Net Zero emissions goal by 2070. With one such policy measure, we can reverse the economics of clean energy manufacturing and bring much-needed private capital to scale the sector across the country". The grouping underscored that high industrial tariff rates now function as a structural hindrance, having a direct bearing on profit margins and cash flows, especially in the most important formative years, when projects are consolidating. Financial pressure deters new market players from entering and hinders the expansion of existing units. The concessional tariff offer is set to enhance sector competitiveness, trigger private participation, and facilitate smoother integration of CBG into India's energy mix, supporting the government's wider clean energy transition goals, it stated. IBA is the first and largest professional biogas association for stakeholders in the biogas industry, including technology providers, project developers, plant operators, planners of biogas plants, and representatives from public policy, science and research in India. The association was established in 2011 and revamped in 2015 to promote a greener future through biogas. The motto of the association is "propagating biogas in a sustainable way".
