Titagarh Rail Systems expects rapid growth in passenger rail business

1 2 Kolkata: City-based Titagarh Rail Systems (TRS) is expected to experience significant growth in its passenger rail business over the next few years. TRS deputy MD Prithish Chowdhary said that although TRS was known for being a wagon maker, the passenger vertical would overtake its freight business going forward. TRS is now manufacturing coaches for Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Surat and Pune Metro at its Uttarpara factory. "We entered the passenger rail business as the govt wanted to incentivise the sector. We are also manufacturing Metro coaches," he said. Chowdhary said the passenger rail business consisted of 5-6% of the company's total business last year. However, in the next few years, it is poised for a big leap. Chowdhary said that in the next 4-5 years, the passenger rail business has the potential to reach 50% or even 60%. He said the passenger order book is now 62%, while freight is 38%. The total order book of the company is Rs 24,500 crore. He said the company had already delivered 33 of the 34 trains ordered by Ahmedabad Metro. TRS diversified into the passenger segment in 2007. The company has facilities in Savona and Caserta in Italy. In India, it has facilities in Kolkata, Bharatpur, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bangalore.

River link project will not harm interests of upstream states: Andhra Pradesh irrigation minister Nimmala Ramanaidu

1 2 Vijayawada: Denouncing the Telangana leaders' allegations, Andhra Pradesh irrigation minister Nimmala Ramanaidu said that Godavari- Banakacherla project will not harm the interests of upstream states including Telangana. Speaking to the media here on Tuesday, Ramanaidu said that about 3,000 TMC ft of water from the Godavari River is going waste into the sea every year. He said that Godavari is the only river in the world where 50 lakh cusecs of water flow at a time. "We will use only the floodwaters of the Godavari available at Polavaram. We will divert only the surplus water that currently flows wastefully into the sea to Banakacherla," the minister asserted. Ramanaidu stated that Andhra Pradesh will not utilise the assured water available in Godavari River that has been allocated to other states. He added that AP, the last riparian state on the river, could not utilise the water allocated to the upstream states. It was not possible for AP to divert net water available in the river, the minister noted, reiterating that the Polavaram–Banakacherla project will not harm the interests of upstream states in any way. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรดทองCFDs กับโบรกเกอร์ที่เชื่อถือได้ | เรียนรู้เพิ่มเติม IC Markets สมัคร Undo The irrigation minister said that there is no ground for apprehensions on the issue. He stressed that it was not correct for the Telangana leaders to make the utilisation of flood waters a controversy to raise the regional tempers. He requested Telangana leaders to desist from making unnecessary controversy of the Banakacherla project. He also said that AP is ready to clarify all the doubts of the upstream states, and that, they wanted to take the surplus water to feed the drought-prone Rayalaseema region. He said that Rayalaseema will benefit in terms of both irrigation and drinking water through Banakacherla project. "Telangana leaders should keep in mind their own past actions before making comments against AP," said Ramanaidu. He said that Telangana govt went ahead with award of contracts to various irrigation projects without obtaining proper permissions. "Projects like Kaleshwaram, Sitarama Sagar, Palamuru–Ranga Reddy, and Sammakka Barrage were initiated without clearances. The TRS leaders should keep in mind that former chief minister K Chandrasekhara Rao took up several projects without clearances from the Centre despite objections from AP. They do not have any right to question AP's good intentions," said Ramanaidu. He said that farmers in downstream states will suffer if projects were executed by upstream without proper planning and permission. He said that lower catchment areas have special rights, which must be respected by the upstream states. "We never had any malicious intent to halt projects in Telangana. In fact, chief minister Chandrababu Naidu has extended support to several projects in Telangana in the past. It is unwise for Telangana leaders to create unneeded controversy," said Ramanaidu.

What Telangana Congress doesn't realise: There can be no social justice if it excludes Muslims

The recent cabinet expansion in Telangana displays an uncomfortable yet recurring pattern in our politics — the exclusion of Muslims from the executive domain, even by those who profess the ideals of social justice, inclusion, and secularism. The Congress government has made the cabinet expansion a corrective exercise, addressing historical imbalances by inducting leaders from the Scheduled Castes and Other Backward Classes. Yet, not a single Muslim representative got a cabinet berth. No matter how strategic or circumstantial it might be, this omission demands deeper scrutiny. Muslims comprise nearly 13 per cent of the state's population. From Hyderabad's old quarters to the lanes of Nizamabad, Mahbubnagar, and Adilabad, the Muslim community is deeply embedded in the fabric of the state's urban economy, cultural life, educational landscape, and civic engagement. And yet, when it comes to the higher-ups of governance, Muslims are mostly invisible. Why are Muslims, despite their demographic weight and active civic presence, rarely viewed as legitimate stakeholders in the political power structure? In Telangana politics, the total absence or lack of presence of Muslims in the power positions has been a recurring factor. During the TRS (now BRS) regimes from 2014 to 2023, there were only eight Muslim legislators in the 119-member Assembly — seven from the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and only one from the TRS. This limited numerical presence certainly restricted the community's bargaining power within the ruling party. Still, the TRS leadership accommodated a Muslim voice — Mahmood Ali — by nominating him through the Legislative Council. He was entrusted with portfolios such as Revenue and Home. While symbolic, this move indicated that constitutional mechanisms could be creatively used to ensure representation even when direct electoral entry was limited. In stark contrast, the Congress-led dispensation today appears either disinterested or indifferent to even tokenistic inclusion. The absence of elected Muslim MLAs shouldn't serve as a justification for their complete erasure from the cabinet. The Congress still has the option to use the Legislative Council route to nominate a competent Muslim leader. That this path has not even been considered suggests something more than mere oversight; it points toward a lack of intent and commitment. Is this merely political pragmatism, or is it a quiet but deliberate erasure, driven by deeper unease about accommodating Muslims? Is it fear of right-wing backlash that has made inclusion of Muslims, even by the secular parties, an electoral liability? If symbolic representation is even compromised, what is left of the constitutional promise of inclusion? The Congress party is often regarded as the last bulwark against the tide of majoritarianism. But increasingly, its practices echo the very forces it claims to resist. While caste-based representation is paraded as progress, religion-based exclusion is normalised. Is it a vision of social justice, or merely a political convenience? The Telangana cabinet reshuffle forces us to confront a troubling reality: The rise of a new model of social justice that is inclusive in optics but exclusionary in substance. Undoubtedly, the inclusion of marginalised Dalit sub-castes like Madigas and Malas, as well as diverse OBC communities, into the cabinet marks progress. But when Muslims, many of whom are part of the BC-E category and share similar socioeconomic vulnerabilities, are left out entirely, this is neither inclusion nor structural justice. It is selective accommodation. It reduces social justice from a moral imperative to a tactical arithmetic aimed at appeasing dominant narratives. Worse still is how such exclusion is slowly being normalised in the political mainstream. The argument that Muslims can be compensated with positions on minority commissions or cultural boards is no longer tenable. These are peripheral roles with minimal policy leverage. Real power resides in cabinet portfolios, budgetary decisions, and departmental direction. Exclusion of the second largest community group from these power positions cultivates a political culture where Muslims are expected to be loyal campaigners, festive participants, and background supporters — but not leaders. The silence of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) is also shocking. There has been no reprimand of the state unit, no public acknowledgement of the exclusion, and certainly no course correction. What message does this send to Muslims elsewhere in India, who seem to still consider Congress as a secular alternative to the BJP? The Congress still has time to reverse this message. Inclusion of a Muslim leader in the cabinet through the legislative council route would show that Indian secularism is not just about tolerance, it is about participation. Social justice that excludes Muslims isn't social justice at all — it's a number game masquerading as equity. And no arithmetic built on exclusion can ever become an example for the nation — it can only serve as a cautionary tale.

Political journey from 1983 Maganti Gopinath began his political journey in 1983 with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), quickly rising through the ranks. He served as the Telugu Yuvata State president from 1985 to 1992, a role that put him at the forefront of youth politics. His early administrative experience included a stint as director of the Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (HUDA) in 1987 and 1988. He was the president of the Consumer Forum from 1988 to 1993 and held various responsibilities as the TDP Hyderabad district president.

He then joined the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), aligning with the State's ruling party.

Vishnuvardhan Reddy. He served as a member of the Public Estimates Committee (PEC) in the Legislative Assembly the same year. He was appointed Hyderabad district president of the BRS Party on January 26, 2022. In 2023, he was elected for the third time to the Assembly, defeating the Congress candidate Mohd Azharuddin.

He graduated with a B.A. from Osmania University in 1983.
