Ensuring good quality steel in infrastructure projects is the need of the hour!

The world's sixth largest economy needs to buck up on the implementation of smart grid solutions, if it wants to ensure quality, 24 x 7 power to service the aspirations of both an expanding population and industry.

India needs smart grid systems on account of the changes in the entire dynamics of the electric power system and the need to maintain its very complex and prodigious grid, says Reji Kumar Pillai, President, India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF).

Rajdhani Express will make a halt in Dhenkanal railway station, Rs 130 billion will be invested for the revival of the Talcher fertiliser plant in Angul district and city gas scheme will be rolled out in 13 districts,

Due to a steady domestic production and improved quality control, India saved over Rs 1 trillion in coal import bill over the last four years.

Coal India supplied 21 million tonne of additional coal to the power sector during April-August 2018 as compared to the previous corresponding period.

One of the thermal units at Mettur generating 600 MW has been shutdown as the coal scheduled to arrive from West Bengal and Odisha has been delayed due to the floods in the mines.

The infrastructure sector is highly responsible for propelling India's overall development. With intense focus, the government has initiated policies to ensure time-bound creation of world-class infrastructure in the country.

Is the Indian Railways chugging towards a gargantuan bailout? Startling as it may sound, the question is within the realms of plausibility given the lumbering behemoth's financials.
