Delhi-Jaipur Electric Cable Highway: 2-Hour Travel Revolutio

20 Nov 2023 CW Team

The proposed electric cable highway between Delhi and Jaipur aims to revolutionise travel by reducing the commute time to just two hours. This innovative project involves the installation of overhead electric cables to power specially designed electric vehicles (EVs) that can travel at high speeds. The objective is to create a sustainable and efficient transportation system that significantly shortens travel duration and contributes to environmental conservation.

The electric cable highway is anticipated to cover the approximately 270-kilometre distance between Delhi and Jaipur in the remarkably brief span of two hours. The introduction of this cutting-edge technology could potentially transform the way people commute between these two major cities, offering a faster and greener alternative to traditional transportation methods.

The EVs operating on this electric cable highway will draw power directly from the overhead cables, eliminating the need for frequent stops to recharge. This system is designed to enhance the overall efficiency of electric transportation, addressing concerns related to battery range and charging infrastructure. Additionally, the reduced travel time could have positive implications for both business and leisure travellers, making the journey between Delhi and Jaipur more convenient and time-effective.

As the world continues to explore sustainable transportation solutions, the electric cable highway project between Delhi and Jaipur represents a significant step towards integrating innovative technologies to create a more eco-friendly and efficient transportation network. If successfully implemented, this initiative has the potential to set a precedent for similar projects in other regions, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable future for transportation.

Coal Ministry Achieves Milestones under Special Campaign 5.0

The Ministry of Coal and its Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) have achieved notable milestones under the Special Campaign 5.0, focusing on cleanliness, operational efficiency, and sustainability across the coal sector. During the implementation phase from 2–31 October 2025, over 1,205 sites were cleaned, covering 68,04,087 sq ft, nearing the target of 82,51,511 sq ft. Scrap disposal of 5,813 MT against a target of 8,678 MT generated Rs 228.7 million in revenue. In addition, 1,11,248 physical and 30,331 electronic files were reviewed, with 74,123 weeded out or closed. Key initiatives showc..

Vesting Orders Issued for Three Coal Blocks under Commercial Auctions

The Ministry of Coal’s Nominated Authority has issued vesting orders for three coal blocks under commercial coal block auctions on 23 October 2025. The Coal Mine Development and Production Agreements (CMDPAs) for these mines were earlier signed on 21 August 2025. The three blocks include Rajgamar Dipside (Deavnara), Tangardihi North, and Mahuagarhi. Of these, two are partially explored while one is fully explored, with a combined peak rated capacity of around 1 MTPA and geological reserves of approximately 1,484.41 million tonnes. These mines are expected to generate annual revenue of abou..

TEC, IIT-Hyderabad Partner to Boost 6G and Telecom Standards

The Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC), technical arm of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IIT Hyderabad) for joint research and technical collaboration in advanced telecom technologies and standardisation. The partnership focuses on developing India-specific standards and test frameworks for next-generation networks, including 6G, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs). It also aims to enhance India’s participation in international standardisation f..
