MoU signed for greenfield shipbuilding industrial cluster at Maharashtra's Dighi
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 15 (IANS) A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on Tuesday between National Shipbuilding and Heavy Industries Park Maharashtra Limited (NSHPML) and Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The agreement establishes MDL as a anchor shipbuilding centre within the proposed Greenfield Shipbuilding Industrial Cluster at Dighi in Raigad district. The initiative is projected to generate 90,000 jobs across the state. NSHPML is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) jointly established by the Maharashtra Maritime Board and the Mumbai Port Authority to develop the greenfield cluster. Aligned with the Central government's national shipbuilding cluster plan, the project advances the strategic objectives of the 'Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047'. Under the terms of the MoU, MDL has set a target capacity to construct ships totaling at least 2 million gross tonnage annually at Dighi, backed by an estimated investment of Rs 27,000 crore. The facility will enable the construction of large commercial vessels, significantly strengthening India's maritime industrial capacity. The Dighi project will establish modern shipbuilding infrastructure alongside a supporting industrial and supply chain ecosystem. It aims to scale domestic shipbuilding capacity, attract advanced technology and investment, generate skilled employment, and boost India's competitiveness in the global maritime sector. Expressing gratitude to the Chief Minister Fadnavis and the Maharashtra government, Captain Jagmohan highlighted MDL's extensive expertise in complex shipbuilding, engineering, project management, and domestic supply chain development. He affirmed MDL's commitment to delivering a modern, globally competitive shipbuilding hub at Dighi.

Long-pending Kishau Dam Project deal inked; Centre, six states sign MoU
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the long-pending Kishau Project was signed on Tuesday between the Centre and six states -- Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, bringing an end to a prolonged dispute over the sharing of the project's financial burden and distribution of its benefits. The agreement was reached at a meeting chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, which was attended by the Chief Ministers of all six participating states -- Uttarakhand's Pushkar Singh Dhami, Himachal Pradesh's Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, Haryana's Nayab Singh Saini, Rajasthan's Bhajanlal Sharma, Uttar Pradesh's Yogi Adityanath and Delhi's Rekha Gupta. Union Minister for Jal Shakti C.R. Patil, Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Secretary of the Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, along with the Chief Secretaries of the participating states, were also present during the meeting. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership for facilitating what he described as a historic agreement. The people of Rajasthan are very fortunate, because as you know, water scarcity has been a major challenge in Rajasthan. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, continuous agreements are being finalised -- whether it is our ERCP, the Chambal-Kalisindh-Parbati link, the Yamuna water agreement with Haryana, the Narmada agreement among Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan, or today's Kishau Dam agreement between Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Delhi, CM Sharma said. The Kishau Project had remained stuck for years due to differences over the financial responsibilities of the participating states, particularly Himachal Pradesh's share in the cost of electricity generation. Under an earlier agreement, Himachal Pradesh was expected to share the cost of power generation from the project with Uttarakhand, while the downstream states were to benefit from the water supplied through the project. The previous BJP government in Himachal Pradesh had agreed to contribute Rs 800 crore as the state's share towards the project. However, the present Congress government opposed the arrangement, citing the state's limited financial resources and its inability to take on the additional financial burden. The prolonged deadlock was eventually resolved in June this year following a high-level meeting chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi. Under the revised arrangement, 90 per cent of the cost of the water component of the project will be borne by the Centre as central assistance, ensuring that Himachal Pradesh does not take any financial burden for the construction of the water component. As per the terms agreed upon by the participating states, Delhi, Rajasthan and Haryana will jointly bear the estimated Rs 2,000 crore cost of the power component on the Himachal Pradesh side. The revised financial arrangement has removed the major point of contention and paved the way for the signing of the MoU. The Kishau Dam is proposed to be constructed on the Tons River, a tributary of the Yamuna, along the border of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Once completed, the project will be among the tallest dams in India and is expected to have significant benefits in terms of hydropower generation, irrigation and drinking water supply. The project is located in Himachal Pradesh's Sirmour district and envisages the construction of a 236-metre-high concrete dam. It is designed to generate hydropower while also creating irrigation potential covering around 97,000 hectares. In addition to its power and irrigation benefits, the project is expected to supply 517 million cubic metres (MCM) of drinking water annually to the participating states. The total estimated cost of the Kishau Project is around Rs 15,000 crore. The signing of the agreement is expected to provide a fresh impetus to the implementation of the long-pending project and strengthen cooperation among the six states and the Centre on water management, hydropower generation and the equitable distribution of the project's benefits.

Over 15,000 security personnel to be deployed for Tripura Village Committee polls
Digital Desk | Agartala, Sep 15 (IANS) Over 15,000 central and state security personnel will be deployed to ensure the smooth and peaceful conduct of the September 28 Village Committee elections in Tripura's tribal areas, officials said on Tuesday. A senior police official said that around 74 companies of the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF), with an actual deployment of around 5,000 personnel, along with 10,000 personnel of the Tripura State Rifles (TSR) and Tripura Police, would provide security for the politically important elections to the Village Committees under the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) areas. Of the 74 companies of CAPF, 47 companies have already arrived in Tripura, and the remaining forces would be available in the state by Wednesday, the official told IANS. According to the official, the TSR and state police, led by district Superintendents of Police and other senior officials, have already started area-wise patrolling and route marches to maintain peaceful law and order in the run-up to the Village Committee elections. He said that the elite Tripura State Rifles have been very efficient in handling election-related duties. During the Lok Sabha elections held between April 19 and June 1, 2024, TSR personnel were deployed for election duties in Maharashtra, Bihar, Odisha and Himachal Pradesh. In addition to providing security during the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, the Indian Reserve battalions of the Tripura State Rifles have performed election duties in almost every state of the country, ensuring security during both Assembly and Lok Sabha polls over the years. The Tripura State Election Commission (TSEC) earlier announced that elections to 4,597 seats in 2,634 constituencies covering 587 Village Committees -- equivalent to Gram Panchayats in the non-TTAADC areas -- would be held on September 28 after a gap of 10 years. State Election Commissioner Pradeep Kumar Chakraborty, during a virtual meeting on Monday, reviewed the overall security and administrative arrangements for the Village Committee elections across the state. Tripura Director General of Police (DGP) G.S. Rao, Inspector General of Police (Law and Order) Manchak Ipper, Commission Secretary Anurag Sen, all the District Magistrates and several other officials participated in the meeting. Meanwhile, an official of the Tripura State Election Commission said that the ruling BJPs ally, the Tipra Motha Party (TMP), won 1,557 seats, or 33.87 per cent of the total 4,597 seats, unopposed in the elections to 587 Village Committees under the TTAADC areas. The BJP secured 81 seats, or 1.76 per cent, uncontested following the completion of the withdrawal of nomination papers on September 11, the official said. According to the SEC official, following the election of candidates in a large number of seats without contest, polling would now be held in 2,954 seats in 44 of the total 52 blocks across eight districts of Tripura. After 1,069 candidates of various political parties, including the TMP, BJP and CPI (M), withdrew their nominations, a total of 9,820 candidates are now in the fray for the Village Committee elections.
Regenerative agriculture builds momentum in India to boost agricultural resilience
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) Regenerative agriculture is emerging as a practical pathway to restore soil health and strengthen India's agricultural resilience as land degradation increasingly threatens food security, a report said on Tuesday. The joint report from Grant Thornton Bharat and the US-India Business Council (USIBC) argued that regenerative agriculture is moving beyond pilot projects as a practical pathway towards more climate-resilient farming systems. About one-third of the country's land area or nearly 115-120 million hectares is estimated to be degraded, threatening agricultural productivity. Soil erosion remains a major challenge, with an estimated 4.8-5.3 billion tonnes of soil lost annually, along with nearly 8 million tonnes of plant nutrients. The report highlighted growing momentum for regenerative agriculture across India, valued at approximately $62 million in 2025, expanding with support from government initiatives, private-sector investment and emerging carbon-credit programmes. Scalable models are already taking shape in states including Andhra Pradesh, Sikkim, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Technology is expected to play a critical role in accelerating adoption asaArtificial intelligence, IoT-enabled sensors, satellite imagery, remote sensing, blockchain and precision agriculture tools help farmers improve resource efficiency, strengthen traceability and enable more informed decision-making. However, large-scale adoption will require overcoming challenges including fragmented landholdings, transition costs, limited technical awareness and evolving carbon-market frameworks. The report recommended stronger public-private collaboration, greater investment in traceability technologies, improved access to finance, enhanced research systems, and a unified national framework to support measurable gains in soil health, water-use efficiency, biodiversity and carbon sequestration. India stands at a defining moment in its agricultural transformation. Regenerative agriculture offers an opportunity to enhance productivity and quality while restoring soil health, strengthening climate resilience and improving farmer livelihoods, said Prof. Padmanand V, Partner & Agriculture Industry Leader, Grant Thornton Bharat. Realising this potential will require coordinated action across policy, technology, finance, advisory services and value chains. With the right ecosystem of incentives, innovation and partnerships, India can build a more sustainable, competitive and future-ready agricultural sector that delivers benefits for farmers, consumers and the planet, he added.

According to the weather department, Delhi-NCR and several other parts of the country are likely to witness fluctuating weather conditions this week, with rain expected on some days, while relatively dry conditions may prevail on others. Although monsoon activity has weakened compared with previous weeks, the IMD has warned of thunderstorms, lightning and rainfall in 20 states.

Delhi HC dismisses Vimal Elaichi's plea over Maharashtra FDA notices
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) The Delhi High Court has dismissed a plea filed by PB Agro, the company associated with Vimal Elaichi, challenging show-cause notices issued by the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to Bollywood actors Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff over an alleged surrogate advertisement for Vimal pan masala. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma dismissed the petition, holding that the matter did not fall within the Delhi High Court's territorial jurisdiction. The court observed that Maharashtra would be the more appropriate forum for raising the grievances and objections arising from the notices issued by the state FDA. The court further held that the petitioner had failed to establish that any substantial or material part of the cause of action had arisen in Delhi. PB Agro had argued that the Delhi High Court had jurisdiction to entertain the matter as the company was based in Delhi, while its advertising campaign was allegedly conceptualised, prepared and managed from the national capital. The company had also contended that payments to the brand ambassadors were made from Delhi. However, the court rejected these grounds and noted that the show-cause notices had not been issued to PB Agro itself. The company had also not been called upon to file a response, remove any advertisement, produce documents or appear before the Maharashtra FDA. The dispute relates to notices issued by the Maharashtra FDA to Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff in connection with the alleged surrogate promotion of Vimal pan masala. The actors have been associated with advertisements for Vimal Elaichi, a product marketed by the company. Earlier on Monday, the Delhi High Court had reserved its verdict on the jurisdictional issue after hearing the plea filed by PB Agro. The company had sought directions to quash the show-cause notices issued by the Maharashtra FDA. During the hearing, the petitioner argued that the notices were issued only to the actors and not to the company, despite PB Agro being the entity that could suffer irreparable harm from any action concerning the advertisement. It also contended that the Maharashtra FDA lacked jurisdiction to issue directions seeking to halt the advertisement. The Centre and the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA), however, opposed the maintainability of the petition before the Delhi High Court. They argued that the company should have approached the Bombay High Court since the impugned action had been taken by the Maharashtra FDA. The CCPA submitted that although it was examining the issue independently, it had no objection to the Maharashtra FDA issuing the notices.
