Aug 26, 2022

The Supertech Twin Towers in Sector 93A, Noida, will be destroyed on Sunday, and the demolition expert responsible for the operation, Chetan Dutta, claimed on Thursday that the process will be "easy." He remarked, "It's a straightforward process; we create electricity from the dynamo and then hit the button which will ignite the detonators in all shock tubes within 9 seconds," when explaining the specifics of the procedure that will bring down the twin towers. The blasting area is covered with four layers of iron mesh and two layers of blanket, so no rubble will fly, and we will be approximately 50 to 70 meters away from the structure. There will be no danger, and we are confident that the building will collapse properly," he added. The demolition will take place at 2:30 PM on Sunday. At 2.30 p.m. on Sunday, Supertech's unlawful twin towers, which are taller than Qutub Minar, will be torn down in 9 seconds, making them the highest structures ever to fall in India. Vibration can be decreased by using impact cushions. There would be about 35,000 cubic meters of rubble left over after the destruction of the 32-story Apex and the 29-story Ceyane, which would require at least three months to clean up. The twin towers can now be destroyed with explosives, according to the Supreme Court. The demolition was scheduled to begin on August 21, but the court granted the Noida Authorit

Govt hikes windfall profit tax on export of diesel

Aug 19, 2022

On Thursday, the government increased the windfall profit tax on diesel exports to Rs 7 per liter and reinstated an export tax on jet fuel, although it reduced the tax on locally produced crude oil to keep pace with softening rates. According to a finance ministry announcement, the government increased the windfall profit tax on diesel exports at the third fortnightly review from Rs 5 per liter to Rs 7 per liter and introduced a Rs 2 per liter tax on ATF exports. The government eliminated the ATF (Aviation Turbine Fuel) export windfall profit tax earlier this month. Additionally, the levy on locally produced crude oil has been reduced from Rs 17,750 to Rs 13,000 per ton. The tax on exports was increased when cracks or margins increased, but the tax on domestic oil production was decreased as global oil prices fell to their lowest level in six months. On July 1, India introduced its first windfall profit tax, joining an increasing number of countries that tax energy companies' higher-than-average profits. The profit margins of both oil producers and refiners have declined since then due to the cooling of the global oil market. On July 1, export taxes of Rs. 13 per liter for fuel and ATF and Rs. 6 per liter (USD 12 per barrel) for gasoline and ATF were imposed (USD 26 a barrel). On domestic crude output, a windfall profit tax of Rs 23,250 per ton (about $40 per barrel) was

13 States blocked Power Exchanges Due to Unpaid Bills

Aug 19, 2022

13 states' power bills will prevent them from trading electricity at power exchanges. In order to enforce new rules intended to compel states to make on-time payments, India has barred nearly half of the nation's states from using spot power exchanges after they failed to pay bills totaling 51 billion rupees ($640 million). According to S.R. Narasimhan, chairman of Power System Operation Corp., the nation's national grid operator, thirteen states won't be able to buy or sell electricity at power exchanges unless they settle their debts to producers and transmission firms. State power retailers that don't pay by the deadline will no longer have access to short-term sources of electricity, according to rules enacted in June. The state-run, loss-making retailers in India are frequently viewed as the weakest link in the nation's electrical supply chain, producing problems that leak down the supply chain to power producers, coal suppliers, and project lenders. These utilities sell around 90% of the country's electricity, and their late payments are perceived as preventing investments in infrastructure modernization and dependable power supply. The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which is developing a strategy to revive these utilities, released new regulations earlier this year that gave the national grid operator the authority to restrict distributors' access to pow
