The company [Shapoorji Pallonji] built the Port Blair airport, which is a marvel in many ways. To learn more about this project, the company’s operations and its adoption of technology, R SRINIVASAN spoke to Prashant Khare, Executive Vice President, Shapoorji Pallonji, Engineering & Construction Division. Excerpts:

The Port Blair project posed several challenges in the planning, construction and commissioning stages. It also faced several logistical challenges including limited ship availability, necessitating meticulous planning to ensure timely material delivery to the remote island site. Stability of the soil strata was difficult to achieve during raft works due to the presence of black cotton soil. Specialised construction equipment was not readily available locally, requiring all items to be transported by sea, either from Chennai or Kolkata. Additionally, transportation and assembly of a crawler crane from Chatham jetty, which is 8.3 km away, posed further challenges. Importing roofing systems, tensile fabric, polycarbonate sheets and larger structural sections from various parts of the world like Dubai, Israel, Germany and China added to the complexity. Prefabricated structural steel segments, including a 85 m-long spinal beam and 125 m-long cantilevers on both sides were fabricated in Chennai transported through sea and assembled on-site...

Auto Sector Can Cut Emissions by 87% by 2050: CEEW

India’s automobile industry could reduce its manufacturing emissions by 87 per cent by 2050 through a shift to green electricity and low-carbon steel, according to a study released by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW).The report estimates that if original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers target net-zero emissions by 2050, annual emissions could fall from a projected 64 million tonnes of CO₂ (under the business-as-usual scenario) to just 9 million tonnes. This would require OEMs to adopt 100 per cent green electricity and steel suppliers to source 56 per ..
