Twin-tower project: After bidders give initial round a miss, govt re-floats tender
Bengaluru: After drawing no bids the first time around, the public works department (PWD) has reissued a tender to appoint a transaction adviser for its long-pending twin-tower project — a mega plan aimed at housing various govt offices under one roof at Anand Rao Circle. Currently, these offices are scattered across various rented private buildings. "We have floated a fresh tender to select consultants for transaction advisory services as no bidders showed interest when we floated the tender earlier," said J Prakash, executive engineer (building division), PWD. Officials say the department has now set a deadline of July 9 for interested consultants to submit expressions of interest. The selected transaction adviser will be given 12 months to complete the assignment — six months to prepare a techno-economic feasibility report (TEFR) and another six months to provide transaction advisory services.

However, due to various delays, it was put on hold. It has now been revived with a revised estimated cost of Rs 1,251 crore, and the govt has tasked PWD with implementing it. In Jan this year, the cabinet approved the hiring of a transaction adviser for the project, marking a renewed push toward execution. The proposed twin towers will be constructed on 8.8 acres of govt land at Anand Rao Circle — a prime location with structures dating back to pre-1940. Currently, several govt offices including those of the PWD and the health department function out of these old buildings. The strategic site was chosen for its proximity to the City Railway Station, Majestic bus stand, Metro stations, Vidhana Soudha, and the MS Building, making it a logistical hub for govt functioning. Once complete, the twin towers will comprise three basements, a ground floor, and 50 upper floors, offering extensive parking and modern amenities. Officials said a detailed proposal will be placed before the cabinet for final approval once the TEFR and concept plan are prepared. The project is to be developed on a public-private partnership (PPP) model. The transaction adviser will play a key role in finalising the specific model — whether PPP-DBFOT (design-build-finance-operate-transfer), lease-based, shared built-up area, or another configuration.

India allocates excess rice for ethanol production to boost petrol blending drive
New Delhi: The Food Ministry has hiked the allocation of rice for increasing ethanol production to 5.2 million tonnes, due to excess stocks with the FCI, to help meet the country's petrol blending target and reduce dependence on oil imports. The move will reduce the need to divert sugarcane for producing alcohol, which, in turn, will ensure higher levels of sugar production to keep prices of the sweetener under control. Currently, the Food Corporation of India (FCI) has around 60 million tonnes of rice and paddy in its stocks, which is in far excess of the buffer requirement of 13.5 million tonnes. Excess stocks also lead to storage problems and make it difficult for the FCI to procure the crops for the next season due to the space crunch, a senior official said. Grain-based ethanol manufacturers were largely using maize as input, and this led to a spike in maize prices, which had adversely impacted the poultry farmers, as the grain is used as a feedstock for hens. An increase in the allocation of rice for ethanol production will also help to keep maize prices in check, according to industry sources. Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri said recently that E20 ethanol-blended petrol is now being made available to fuel vehicles at all the retail outlets of the public sector companies - Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum - nationwide. The minister stated that India has achieved the target of 20 per cent ethanol blending in petrol in early 2025, which is six years ahead of the original deadline of 2030, and reflects the strong progress in the country's journey towards cleaner fuels. 'This achievement not only reduces the country's carbon emissions but also saves huge amounts of money. In the process, we have saved Rs 1 lakh crore upwards. Rs 1.5 lakh crore of foreign exchange because of the import bill, and we have given that to our farmers,' the minister said.
