NEW DELHI: The Congress on Thursday accused the Modi government of being iased against opposition-ruled states in allocating semiconductor manufacturing projects. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh pointed out that the Modi government has green signalled four semi-conductor manufacturing projects in the country.

NEW DELHI: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has raised a red alert, cautioning against an imminent threat of flash floods across the Himalayan states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, West Bengal, Bihar and Sikkim in eastern India, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in the south and some parts of Maharashtra.

Rahul Gandhi tight-lipped on India's largest electoral anomaly in Andhra, claims Jagan Mohan Reddy
AMARAVATI: YSRCP supremo Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday alleged that the largest electoral anomaly in the country during the 2024 general elections occurred in Andhra Pradesh and accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of remaining silent on the issue. Addressing a press conference at the YSRCP central office in Tadepalli, Reddy claimed the anomaly involved nearly 48 lakh votes, or 12.5 per cent of the votes polled in the state. Unfortunately, why doesn't Rahul Gandhi talk about Andhra Pradesh? He doesn't talk because he is in hotline contact with Chandrababu, Reddy alleged. He claimed that the anomaly in Andhra Pradesh was the highest in the country. By the time voting ended and counting began, the percentage difference in votes was the largest nationwide, he alleged. Reddy also questioned Congress national spokesperson Manickam Tagore, asking whether he ever spoke about TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu, whom he alleged is undermining democracy. Naidu is indulging in several scams which are visible to the naked eye, but Tagore doesn't talk because there is a 'hotline' between Naidu, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Congress high command, he alleged. Further, he alleged that despite irregularities such as belt shops (illegal liquor shops), permit rooms, and scams in sand, silica, quartz, and laterite, Tagore emained silent. The opposition leader added that the anomaly prompted a delegation of YSRCP leaders to meet the Election Commission, which promised to undertake a Special Intensive Revision in Andhra Pradesh. Neither the Congress nor the ruling TDP has issued an immediate reaction.

The Phase-1B of the project promises to deliver enhanced connectivity, reduced traffic congestion, environmental benefits, economic growth, and improved quality of life. By addressing key urban challenges and providing a foundation for future expansion, Phase-1B will play a crucial role in shaping the city's development trajectory and sustainability, the statement said. 700MW Tato-II hydro project Another major decision was the approval of Rs 8146.21 crore investment for the construction of a 700 MW Tato-II hydro-electric project in Shi Yomi District of Arunachal Pradesh.

The project with an installed capacity of 700 MW (4 x 175 MW) would produce 2,738.06 million units of energy. The power generated from the project will help improve the electricity supply position in the state of Arunachal Pradesh and will also help in balancing the national Grid. The Project will be implemented through a Joint Venture Co. between North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Ltd (NEEPCO) and the Government of Arunachal Pradesh. Government of India shall extend Rs 458.79 crore as budgetary support for the construction of roads, bridges and associated transmission line under enabling infrastructure besides Central Financial Assistance of Rs 436.13 crore towards equity share of the state.

US slaps total 59.73% tariff on Seafood export created panic among policy makers and exporters
NEW DELHI: The Indian government is working to increase domestic consumption and explore new export markets for the seafood sector in response to the crisis caused by heavy tariffs imposed on Indian seafood by the US administration. Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh, which contributes over 75% of Indias total seafood exports, is urging the Central government to provide interest subvention. We are seeking new opportunities in countries such as South Korea, Australia, Russia, and the European Union to offset our losses, said Rajiv Ranjan Singh, Union Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying without mentioning the US administration directly. Singh stated that discussions had taken place with 50 seafood exporters, and there are plans to continue the flagship Prime Minister Matsya Sampada Scheme for an additional five years to provide support. The Trump administration has imposed a total tariff of 59.73% on Indias seafood sector, potentially the highest among all sectors, which may severely impact the industry. Prior to these tariffs, Indian exporters were paying a combined duty of 8.56%, which included anti-dumping duty (ADD) and countervailing duty (CVD), along with a reciprocal tariff of 10%. The new tariffs have raised the ADD from 2.56% to 3.96%, while the CVD remains at 5.77%. Additionally, the previous 10% reciprocal tariff has escalated to 50%, including penalties. The US was the largest market for India's seafood, valued at USD 7.38 billion, accounting for around 35% of the total market. Ecuador is expected to capture a significant share of this market due to its proximity to the US and lower tariff barriers. Our primary concern is to expand the domestic market and diversify our export markets as soon as possible, said Ramashankar Naik, Commissioner of the Fisheries Department in Andhra Pradesh. This is a challenging time for the seafood sector, and it needs to be addressed promptly to save the industry, Naik emphasized. Andhra Pradesh alone contributes about 75% of all seafood exports, followed by Kerala, Gujarat, and Odisha. The seafood basket includes frozen shrimp, frozen fish, octopus, surimi, lobster, cuttlefish, dried fish, and fish meal. When asked about the impact of the US tariffs, a senior officer remarked, The US is just one of the 130 countries to which India exports fish and seafood. We will manage this situation soon. Indias export of seafood contribution to EU has dropped from 35% to 11% in past one decade. We will soon gain our market to compensate our US loss, said Naik.
