Among transport measures, the committee evaluated a four?lane flyover at Anandnagar junction on the Nagole?Bandlaguda road and a six?lane grade separator crossing Hastinapuram, B.N. Reddynagar and Sagar Complex junctions, both proposed for HCITI funding. Drainage works discussed included a stormwater channel linking Nagireddy cheruvu and Kapra cheruvu in Yapral, a box drain at Kowkoor, development of Yapral junction and concrete cement roads, together with underground drainage pipelines across several colonies in the Nagole circle.

A substantial portion of the agenda focused on waste management under Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) 2.0, with proposals for a 500 t per day construction and demolition waste processing plant, 15 material recovery facility centres, seven secondary collection transfer stations and nine electric mechanical road?sweeping machines. An integrated facility at Peerzadiguda was outlined to combine a solid waste transfer station, material recovery facility, refuse derived fuel plant, compost unit, bio?methanation or compressed niogas plant and a leachate treatment plant.

Additional recommendations included a sanitary landfill and aspirational toilets at nine locations, engagement of 30 National Academy of Construction engineers for the town planning wing for a year and wage revision for 223 outsourced workers in four circles of the LB Nagar zone to align with GHMC norms. The committee also considered handing maintenance of six parks across three zones to women’s self?help groups and forming a panel for compassionate appointments.

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..

Hydrogen Train Completes 1,200 Kilometres Of Trials

India's first hydrogen train was flagged off between Jind and Sonipat on July 17 and has travelled over 1,200 kilometres in trials, saving diesel consumption of more than 3,200 litres, a Railway Ministry press release said. The deployment marks the introduction of a zero-emission fuel cell train into route testing and represents a milestone in domestic rail innovation. The train generates electricity onboard through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, producing electricity to propel the vehicle while emitting only water vapour as a by-product. There is no smoke and no tailpipe car..
