AMRUT Works Near Completion In Kavali

Works under the AMRUT scheme in Kavali are nearing completion after a review at the Police Guest House where Twenty-Point Programme Implementation Committee Chairman Lanka Dinakar directed officials to expedite pending tasks and ensure utilisation of recently sanctioned funds. Officials were instructed to fast-track remaining works and to utilise Rs 228 million (mn) allocated under the Urban Infrastructure Development Fund and additional plan grants. The meeting emphasised prompt action to convert allocations into tangible service delivery for residents. Officials were directed to submit periodic progress reports to the committee to ensure transparency and timely remedial action.

The AMRUT pylon demolished in 2020 is being reconstructed at the same site and will be re-inaugurated as a symbolic landmark, with completion expected within 15 days. Officials said the structure will provide a visible sign of renewed civic investment and that its timely handover is linked to broader project scheduling. Local administrators were asked to coordinate contractors and material supply to avoid delays.

The AMRUT one point zero project, launched with an outlay of Rs 884.1 mn to address Kavali's drinking water needs, is in its final stages and officials said efforts are underway to ensure safe supply to every household. Works include upgrades to treatment and distribution networks and prioritise underserved pockets. Operational readiness and last mile connectivity are being assessed ahead of handover. Monitoring teams will verify water quality and distribution performance before formal handover.

Looking ahead, works under AMRUT two point zero worth Rs 142.6 mn are scheduled to commence in April 2026 with a focus on strengthening water infrastructure in underserved areas. The chairman reiterated the government commitment to providing clean drinking water and accelerating development works in line with public expectations. Officials were reminded to maintain transparent records of expenditure and progress so that allocations translate into measurable outcomes for residents. Expenditure will be monitored against milestones and any shortfalls addressed through corrective measures.

India Data Centres To Consume 191 TWh By 2040 Driving Renewables

A Wood Mackenzie report says India's operational data centre capacity is projected to increase more than fivefold to 12 gigawatt (GW) by 2030 from 2.2 GW in 2025 as artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing drive demand. It projects electricity consumption to rise from 10 terawatt-hour (TWh) in 2025 to 191 TWh by 2040. The study forecasts a compound annual growth rate of around 40 per cent and notes AI-dedicated capacity will surge nearly 24-fold from 275 megawatt (MW) in 2025 to 6,546 MW by 2030. The report places India's digital economy at Rs 32 trillion (tn) in 2025 and says it contr..
