NRDC, RINL renew agreement on value-added services
This comprehensive support aims to enhance RINL's capabilities in protecting, evaluating, and monetising its in-house innovations. This renewed partnership reinforces the shared commitment towards fostering innovation, promoting indigenous technologies, and advancing the national goal of self-reliance in steel manufacturing, according to a statement issued by NRDC, Visakhapatnam.
Over the past five years, under the previous agreement, NRDC facilitated IP services that enabled RINL to file and secure the grant of 12 patents for in-house developed technologies in steel manufacturing, significantly contributing to Atmanirbhar Bharat. The new addendum to the MoA marks a continued journey of technological excellence and strategic IP management.
RINL's R&D Centre, which serves as the nodal agency for IPR activities within the organisation, plays a pivotal role in coordinating innovation-led initiatives and aligning them with strategic industrial goals.
The addendum to the MoA was exchanged in the presence of senior officials from both organisations. From RINL, Ranjan Mohanty, CGM (Works) I/c, Ruchira Gupta, head of R&D Centre, and T. Goutham, GM (Iron and Technology), and representing NRDC were B.K. Sahu, head (Outreach), and Bhavya, NRDC-Visakhapatnam participated in the proceedings, the release added.

BSNL records highest call drop rate, highest cases of call muting among competitors in test held in UP
NEW DELHI: State-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has performed poorly in the Independent Drive Test (IDT) conducted by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) for the Uttar Pradesh (West) Licensed Service Area (LSA) in June. According to the report, BSNL recorded the highest call drop rate and the highest incidence of call muting among major telecom operators, including Reliance Jio (RJIL), Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea (VIL). As per the findings, BSNL's Call Setup Success Rate (CSSR) stood at 86.57%, indicating that nearly 13% of call attempts failed to connect. Its Call Setup Time (CST) — the time taken to establish a call — was measured at 3.03 seconds, significantly longer than its competitors. BSNL also recorded the highest Drop Call Rate (DCR) at 3.45% in auto-selection mode, suggesting major network issues such as poor connectivity or inadequate mobile tower coverage in the area. This comes despite government claims that BSNL has rolled out over 95,000 mobile towers across the country. 'In line with Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, BSNL has placed purchase order for indigenously developed 4G sites for pan India deployment. Supply of 4G equipment has started from September 2023 and as on 30.06.2025, total 95,537 numbers 4G sites have been installed, out of which 90,035 numbers are ON-Air. The equipment is 5G upgradable,' said Minister of State for Communications Dr. Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar in Parliament. In comparison, RJIL and VIL demonstrated superior performance in call setup times, with average CSTs of 0.77 seconds and 0.95 seconds respectively. Surprisingly, Airtel's CST was the highest among the private players, clocking in at 22.86 seconds. For Drop Call Rate, RJIL achieved a perfect 0.00%, while VIL and Airtel posted strong results at 0.20% and 0.23%, respectively.

ICG gets new pollution control vessel to protect marine ecosystems
Defence public sector unit Goa Shipyard Limited on Wednesday launched its second indigenously designed Pollution Control Vessel (PCV), Samudra Prachet, for the Indian Coast Guard (ICG), an official said. The vessel has two side arms capable of collecting oil spills while underway and a radar to detect oil slicks, the GSL official said. Director General of Indian Coast Guard Parmesh Sivamani, who was present during the launch at Vasco in South Goa, stressed the strategic importance of the vessel in strengthening India's capacity for coastal environmental protection and pollution response operations, the official said. Sivamani said the vessel will play a pivotal role in safeguarding marine ecosystems. sThe indigenously designed Samudra Prachet (Yard 1268) is the second in a series of two PCVs. The first one, Samudra Pratap (Yard 1267), was launched on August 29 last year. GSL Chairman and Managing Director Brajesh Kumar Upadhyay also attended the event. He underscored the critical importance of this platform in advancing India's maritime environmental preparedness. Upadhyay also said that the vessel has 72 per cent indigenous content, which he called a significant contribution to the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat. A senior GSL official said the vessel is 114.5 metres long and 16.5 metres wide, with a displacement of 4170 tonnes. It will be manned by 14 officers and 115 sailors, he said. The official said that the vessel is equipped with two side-sweeping arms capable of collecting oil spills while underway, as well as a modern radar system for detecting oil slicks. He said the PCV is engineered to recover oil across the 'full viscosity spectrum, pump in contaminated water, analyse and separate pollutants and store recovered oil in dedicated onboard tanks'.
