On Sunday, a 13-member team of Swachh Bharat Mission administrative officers, along with public representatives from Aligarh, Jhansi, Vrindavan, Saharanpur, Bareilly, Farrukhabad, Kushinagar, and Etawah in Uttar Pradesh, visited various parts of the city and learned about the Indore Municipal Corporation's Solid Waste Management system. The team learned about door-to-door garbage collection, six-bin segregation, the garbage transfer station, the Devguradia trenching ground plant, CNG plant, waste processing plant, ICCC command centre, and other topics.

In a presentation, superintending engineer (IMC) Mahesh Sharma discussed how, in the past, there were garbage boxes at various locations in Indore and how, under the cleanliness campaign, Indore had freed itself of garbage bins by running door-to-door garbage collection vehicles in identified wards of the city, which was monitored through a GPS system. All garbage collection vehicles are working in their designated areas on their assigned routes and at their assigned times.

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..
