Tripura targets 500 MW renewable energy capacity by 2030: Power Minister
Digital Desk | Agartala, Sep 10 (IANS) Tripura has set a target of achieving 500 MW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, Power Minister Ratan Lal Nath said on Thursday, highlighting the state government's efforts to expand clean energy generation and create a skilled workforce for the growing solar energy sector. The Minister while addressing the launch of the Tripura Clean Energy Roadmap, Green Skilling Programme and TREAT Initiative Workshop here, said the energy sector was undergoing a profound transformation worldwide, with renewable energy, particularly solar power, emerging as a major driver of economic growth, technological innovation, employment generation and sustainable development. It is in this context that I am particularly pleased to speak about UTSA -- Unnayan through Transformative Solar Applications, the flagship Green Energy Skill Development Programme of Tripura government. UTSA is an important initiative aimed at creating skilled manpower for the rapidly expanding solar energy sector of our state, Minister Nath said. Under UTSA, the Tripura Renewable Energy Development Agency (TREDA), in collaboration with the Tripura Rural Livelihood Mission (TRLM) and the Tripura State Electricity Corporation Limited (TSECL), is implementing training programmes such as Suryamitra and Solar PV Technician, he added. Minister Nath said that the programme is supported by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and aligned with the Asian Development Bank (ADB)-supported programme for transforming renewable energy in Tripura. He noted that several Central and state initiatives, including PM-KUSUM, PM-DevINE, PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, PM-JANMAN, Grameen Bazaar Alok Jyoti Prakalpa, solar micro-grids, green hydrogen, micro hydel, hydrokinetics, pumped storage, battery storage and biogas projects, were bringing clean energy closer to farmers, households, public institutions and communities. Tripura has achieved around 58.76 MW of renewable energy capacity. Under PM-KUSUM, 9,401 solar pumps have been installed and another 1,709 are underway, supporting nearly 18,802 acres. Solarisation of 1,341 grid-connected pumps is also generating 4.40 million units annually, saving around Rs 76.65 lakh and enabling farmers to become clean-energy producers, the Minister said. He added that solar micro-grids were providing clean energy to around 9,762 families under PM-DevINE and 1,703 households under PM-JANMAN. Minister Nath said that Tripura's achievements in renewable energy had also received national recognition, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighting the state's initiatives in his Mann Ki Baat programme. The state was also recognised as the best-performing state among the Northeastern states for installing the highest number of solar pumps under PM-KUSUM, while it received award in 2025 for its 2.09 MW solar micro-grid project, he added. Minister Nath said the state's 500 MW renewable energy target by 2030 would include green villages, rooftop solar installations on government buildings and residential premises, ground-mounted solar power plants, solar micro-grids, decentralised renewable energy-based livelihood applications and other off-grid solutions. The UTSA programme directly supports the Tripura Energy Vision 2030 and the 6Ds Clean Energy Road Map 2025-2035, particularly by developing solar PV skills applicable to rooftop solar, micro and mini-grids, battery energy storage systems and renewable energy livelihood programmes, he added. He said the UTSA programme would create skilled manpower while rooftop solar programmes would create the market for such trained personnel.

Duleep Trophy: Kishan, Quraishi Shine As East Zone Clinch Title, End 13-year Wait
Md Kounain Quraishi: East Zone clinched the Duleep Trophy for the third time on Thursday after overcoming South Zone via first innings at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday. The triumph also meant East Zone ended a 13-year drought to win the prestigious title, its last win coming in the 201213 season. Resuming their second innings on the final day, East Zone rode on a maiden first-class century from Md Kounain Quraishi (116 not out off 190 balls) and a half-century from Anukul Roy (64) before declaring at 388/7 in 99.2 overs. Once the declaration was done, the Ishan Kishan-led East Zone set off into immediate celebrations over winning the title. The contest had tilted decisively in East Zone's favour after posting a mammoth 708 in their first innings, built around captain Ishan Kishans monumental 270 and 101 made by Kumar Kushagra. Kishan followed up his double century with 80 in the second innings, and took his match tally to 350 runs. Jharkhands emerging talents played a pivotal role in East Zones triumphant run. Apart from Kushagra, Shikhar Mohan produced an impressive 85 on his Duleep Trophy debut and continued the strong touch he has displayed in the last domestic season. The duo, along with Kishan, ensured that Jharkhands influence remained central to East Zones title victory. Earlier in the morning, Quraishi and Roy extended their seventh-wicket partnership to 150 runs, and pushed East Zones total beyond the 700-run mark. South Zone were penalised five runs in the 73rd over due to an unacceptably slow over-rate, following a prolonged discussion between the match officials and South Zone captain Tilak Varma. Quraishi eventually brought up his maiden first-class century in the 96th over by driving pacer CV Milind towards extra cover for two runs to reach the three-figure mark. The young batter removed his helmet and raised his arms to celebrate as his teammates lauded him with a standing ovation from the balcony. Quraishi capped his milestone in the following over by striking back-to-back sixes off spinner Tripurana Vijay over mid-wicket and long-on. From the other end, Roy completed a patient half-century by steering Shaik Rasheed through point for a single in the 89th over. Roys resistance ended when he was caught at slip by Devdutt Padikkal off MD Nidheesh for 64, after pushing loosely at a length delivery outside off-stump. After Quraishi chipped a delivery from Milind safely down to mid-on off the second ball of the 100th over, skipper Kishan officially signalled the declaration from the pavilion. The umpires immediately removed the bails to conclude the final, thus confirming East Zone as the new champions. Quraishi capped his milestone in the following over by striking back-to-back sixes off spinner Tripurana Vijay over mid-wicket and long-on.

Duleep Trophy: Kishan, Mohan assert East Zone's dominance as lead swells to 584 runs
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 9 (IANS) Skipper Ishan Kishan and Shikhar Mohan hit fluent half-centuries to consolidate East Zone's absolute command over South Zone, as they extended their lead to a massive 584 runs on day four of the Duleep Trophy final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday. Kishan, who brought his match tally to a staggering 350 runs, compiled an explosive 80 off 98 balls, laced with nine fours and three sixes, before missing out on a second century in the match. His departure, alongside Mohans steady 52 off 85 balls, ensured East Zone closed the day in complete control and virtually sealed the title after consecutive wins in the 2011/12 and 2012/13 seasons. Earlier in the morning session, South Zone added 94 runs to their overnight total before being bowled out, leaving East Zone with a colossal 372-run first-innings lead. South Zone skipper Tilak Varma kick-started the day with consecutive boundaries off Mohammed Shami. At the other end, CV Milind provided sturdy resistance, driving Mukesh Kumar through the covers as runs flowed freely against the new ball. However, the introduction of spin broke the resistance, ending the 78-run stand when Milind was dismissed by Mohan for 43, triggering a quick tail-end slide. Tripurana Vijay was run out while attempting a tight single, and Mohammad Siraj was trapped lbw by Mukesh Kumar. In a heartbreaking climax to the South Zones first innings, Varma mistimed a return catch to Md Kounain Quraishi and fell on 99, thus missing out on a well-deserved ninth first-class century by a single run. Despite holding a 372-run advantage, East Zone opted not to enforce the follow-on. The decision initially brought little joy to spectators as young prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was stumped off Vijay for eight, while Abhimanyu Easwaran edged off Siraj to first slip. Unfazed by the early loss of both openers, Kishan and Mohan steadied the innings with a 126-run stand off 170 balls for the third wicket. Post-tea, Kishan went on an aggressive rampage, brought up his fifty, and then punished Vijay by taking 20 runs off an over with two boundaries and two sixes. Kishan eventually fell to Shreyas Gopal while attempting another big hit, but his innings pushed the lead past 500. Mohan was later trapped lbw by Shaikh Rasheed, and Sudip Gharami was run out. Kumar Kushagra (34 not out) and Quraishi (26 not out) safely negotiated the final overs with an unbroken 52-run stand. Brief scores: East Zone 708 & 212/5 in 51 overs (Ishan Kishan 80, Shikhar Mohan 52; MD Nidheesh 1-14, Mohammed Siraj 1-17) lead South Zone 336 (Tilak Varma 99; Mukesh Kumar 3-62) by 584 runs

Duleep Trophy 2026: Shami, Mukesh Shine As East Zone Take Control Of Final Against South
MA Chidambaram Stadium: India internationals Mohammed Shami and Mukesh Kumar starred with the ball as East Zone ended Day 3 of the Duleep Trophy final against South Zone here at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in ascendancy. Both Shami and Mukesh took two wickets each as the Tilak Varma-led South were restricted to 242/6 in the first innings and ended the day trailing by 466. Devdutt Padikkal (62) and Tilak Varma (56*) scored half-centuries, but the South Zone batters would regret their dismissals, even though Tilak remains unbeaten and the sole hope for an improbable comeback. The South batters had poor shot selection, and the East bowlers found some spice with even the older ball, using reverse swing to trouble the South batters, who got starts but not as much as the East batters, especially Ishan Kishan, who scored 270. Ricky Bhui was the first one to be dismissed when he edged one behind for stand-in wicketkeeper Kumar Kushagra to palm it. East Zone vice-captain Vaibhav Sooryavanshi insisted on a review to overturn the umpire's not-out call for Bhui's caught-behind appeal, which was later given out on DRS. Narayan Jagadeesan fell victim to poor shot selection, slicing Shikhar Mohan to point as South went to lunch at 115/2. The East bowlers continued to do a good job in the second session too, and the seamers found reverse swing. They kept the lid on the batters as Shami dismissed Shaik Rasheed for his first. The Indian veteran pacer bowled short spells and was seen to be troubled by a neck issue soon after lunch. Padikkal made a strong fifty but holed Mukesh Kumar out to deep square leg. Sooryavanshi took the captain's armband for a brief period in the later part of the second session as Ishan Kishan was off the field. He brought in Shami for a brief spell, and the pacer got the highest Ranji Trophy scorer from the previous season, Smaran Ravichandran.

Duleep Trophy: Ishan Kishans Epic 270, Kumar Kushagras 101 Propels East Zone To 708
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Skipper Ishan Kishan smashed a monumental 270 while Kumar Kushagra hit a fine century to put East Zone in complete command of the Duleep Trophy final against South Zone by posting a colossal 708 at the end of the second innings of the match, played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Monday. Kishans 334-ball knock, laced with 30 fours and seven sixes, registered the eighth-highest individual score in a Duleep Trophy match. Kushagra, on the other hand, hit 101 off 132 balls, studded with eight fours and five sixes, ensuring that a total in excess of 700 was registered at Chepauk for only the third time in first-class cricket history before East Zone were finally bowled out by stumps. Resuming from their overnight score of 385/4, East Zone continued to pile on the runs right from the outset. Desperately seeking wickets, South Zone took the new ball after delaying it for just one over, but neither Mohammad Siraj nor MD Nidheesh could find an early breakthrough. Kishan got going immediately, collecting successive boundaries off Siraj before giving the same treatment to Nidheesh. Kushagra soon joined the party from the other end as, on either side of the drinks break, South Zone introduced spinners Tripurana Vijay and Shreyas Gopal into the attack, but it didnt change the trajectory of East Zones innings. Kushagra moved into the nineties with a couple of boundaries off Gopal before eventually bringing up his sixth first-class century. South Zone finally got the much-needed breakthrough closer to the lunch break when Kushagra found the fielder at fine leg off Vijay. For Kishan, however, it remained business as usual as he continued to manipulate the field with ease. Taking full toll of a tiring opposition, the aggressive left-hander slammed three boundaries in a single over from Gopal. South Zone attempted to break his momentum by deploying part-timers Devdutt Padikkal and Shaikh Rasheed, but to no avail as Kishan reached his double century off 270 balls. After crossing the milestone, Kishan accelerated rapidly and hit boundaries with immaculate ease to move past 250, with South Zone eagerly anticipating a declaration. Even after guiding his side past the 600-run mark, the captain showed no intention of declaring. Although fatigue briefly caught up with Kishan and forced him to retire temporarily, the runs kept flowing for East Zone. With the total edging closer to 700, Mohammed Shami departed for a quickfire 28, which brought Kishan back to the crease in pursuit of a rare triple century. However, wickets falling at the other end forced his hand, and he was eventually caught near the long-on boundary, falling just 30 runs short of the 300-mark. By the time the East Zone innings ended at 708, they had firmly taken charge of winning the summit clash against a tiring South Zone. Although fatigue briefly caught up with Kishan and forced him to retire temporarily, the runs kept flowing for East Zone. With the total edging closer to 700, Mohammed Shami departed for a quickfire 28, which brought Kishan back to the crease in pursuit of a rare triple century.

Skipper Ishan Kishan struck a flowing unbeaten 111, leading East Zone to a commanding 385 for four against a sloppy South Zone on the opening day of the Duleep Trophy final here on Sunday. Kishan (14x4, 1x6) and Kumar Kushagra (63) were batting at stumps, and the fifth wicket pair has so far added 144 runs in just 26.4 overs. The other contributors were teen phenom Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (44, 37b), Abhimanyu Easwaran (72), and Shikhar Mohan (85). Kishan, who completed 4000 first-class runs, merged aggression and composure to a nicety in his 135-ball knock, and raised 94 runs for the fourth wicket with Mohan. It came at an important juncture too when East were in trouble, the only time in the first innings so far, at 147 for three. South could have had their rivals in a far deeper predicament but Kishan and Mohan averted the disaster on a pitch that remained true the whole day. Kishans was a complete innings, sending the ball to all parts of the field through powerful pulls and imperious drives through the covers. The left-hander reached his fifty in 71 balls and then the next 50 came off 51 balls, completing his 10th first-class hundred. Kishan reached the landmark with a driven four off Shreyas Gopal, who was playing in his 100th first-class match. At the other end, Mohan has a solid presence, showing a lot more maturity than his tender 21 years. The feature of his innings was the judgment he showed to leave the ball outside off-stump. There was not even one single play and miss in his innings. But his fifty was not all about defence as Mohan carted off-spinner Tripurana Vijay for a six and two fours in one over to showcase his range. Just as he was nearing a well-deserved hundred, Mohan chopped left-arm pacer CV Milind, who replaced an injured Vidwath Kaverappa, on to his stumps. In fact, it was the Easts first innings story in a nutshell, batters getting dismissed before the innings reached the full bloom. Easwaran, who is often dubbed as an obdurate batter, looked in complete control, and at times even outpaced Sooryavanshi. They milked 100 runs for the opening wicket in just 14.overs and East seldom let that momentum slip. Sooryavanshi would curse himself for playing a rather reckless pull off Milind for substitute Tanay Thayagarajan to offer a simple catch in the deep. It, perhaps, was the first time South bowlers tested the young left-hander with a short-pitched ball and it yielded instant results. The whole sequence will teach the Bihar youngster to show more patience in the middle, particularly when nearly 10,000 spectators thronged the MA Chidambaram Stadium to watch the latest wonder kid in cricket. Kushagra too played with determination as South withered under a barrage of runs. Nothing more revealed the plight of South than the sight of lead pacer Mohammad Siraj going through three colourless spells. The India quick's outing on the day read 5-0-41-0, 5-1-24-0 and 4-0-31-0 for an overall reading of 14-1-96-0. Siraj was clobbered around by Sooryavanshi (6, 4, 4), Easwaran (4, 4), Kushagra (6, 4) as the Hyderabad man struggled to make an impact. He can partly blame a flat pitch for his ineffectiveness, but there was no real attempt from his side to alter the course of the happenings.

Opposition wants power, not people's welfare; PM Modi thinks only about development: Tripura CM
Agartala, Sep 6 (IANS) Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Sunday accused the opposition parties of having no basic understanding of politics and alleged that they were engaged in politics only to confuse the people. Addressing a large public meeting organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at Barjala, on the outskirts of Agartala, CM Saha said that the people of the state had witnessed a very difficult and dangerous situation during the CPI-M's long tenure in power in the state. We have so many elections coming up. Village Committee elections are coming, and we will contest them with the NDA alliance. But for some time, attempts have been made to create a situation of divide and rule. In 1978, people will remember how the CPI-M formed the government. They ruled the state for 35 years. Everywhere there were red flags and red signals, in West Bengal and Tripura too, he added. People will never accept them (CPI-M). They are still carrying the thinking of 1978, about how they can come to power and form the government, and attempts are being made in various ways, he said. The Chief Minister added that the Congress has now entered into an alliance with the CPI-M, alleging that the opposition parties were interested only in power. This Congress has now come into an alliance with the CPI-M. They just want the chair or power and are hatching conspiracies. In the last Assembly election, we saw CPI-M flags being carried out from Congress party offices and vice versa, he said. Chief Minister Saha said that the BJP is the largest political party in the country and has a growing presence across the world. The graph of the BJP is increasing. After the Village Committee elections, local body elections, including those to the Agartala Municipal Corporation and Nagar Panchayats, will be held. We won all 20 out of 20 seats last time. This time also, the same is going to happen, he added. Chief Minister Saha said that people in a democracy want leaders and political parties whom they can believe and trust. In politics, people want someone whom they can believe and trust. You cannot do politics with muscle power. We have to work for the people. We are providing water to all, houses, free food and gas connections. Why bring politics into such things? he asked. The Chief Minister said that the welfare and development initiatives undertaken by the state government were aimed at improving the lives of ordinary people. That is why people are blessing Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We have a guardian like PM Modi who only thinks about the people and how to work for development, he added. Manik Saha also highlighted India's economic growth and said that the state government has been working for the welfare of the common people. Our GDP has increased, and now India is the fourth-largest economy in the world. Our state government has been working for the common people, he added.
