Government encourages manufacturing hybrid cars in India

Indian Government is working on launching a new policy that will invite car manufacturers to launch new hybrid cars in the country. This new policy will not only give concessions on excise duty to the manufacturer, but will also provide the consumer with rebates and incentives.
Mr Praful Patel, Minister for Public Enterprises and Heavy Industries said, “Besides, the fiscal sops like differential excise on the car, the policy is likely to incentivise research and development for development of the hybrid vehicle. To encourage the production of these cars (hybrids), there is a need to upgrade the laboratory knowledge.”
In order to get this policy working, Dept. of Heavy Industry will need a nod from the Central Cabinet as well. If everything goes according to plan, the policy will be ready to be implemented by September this year.
Hybrid cars is the answer to alternate fuel and global warming. Currently India does not manufacture hybrid cars, it has to import them. Because, of which they are too expensive for consumers to even consider buying a hybrid car. “We have to see as to how to reduce the price to a reasonable level,” Mr Praful added.

Scope for generating 68,000 MW of green power: World Bank report

The World Bank has stated in its latest report that India can generate 68,000 MW of power, costing less than Rs.6 a unit from renewable energy sources, a step that can address the country's energy security concerns.

The report released here by the multilateral funding agency on Friday said the 68,000 MW of wind, hydro and biomass energy can be harnessed at less than Rs.6 a unit. “Developing indigenous renewable energy sources, which have low marginal costs of generation, are more economically viable in the long run,'' the study — Potential of renewable energy in India — has stated.

India's electricity demand is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 7.4 per cent in the next 25 years. The generation capacity will have to increase five-fold to keep pace with the growth of demand.

At present, the installed capacity of the country stands at about 1.70 lakh MW from all sources of energy, as per official data.

The report also suggested that renewable energy development can be an important tool for regional economic development within the country. Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Uttarakhand have 65 per cent of India's small hydro power resources. Much of the economically attractive wind potential in Orissa or the biomass potential in Madhya Pradesh lies largely undeveloped, the report adds.

The report emphasises that coal, gas and oil have witnessed considerable price volatility in recent years, renewables are the only free hedging mechanism against price volatility of fossil fuels. The risk-adjusted cost of renewable energy is lower than that of fossil-based fuels, and their use enhances the price certainty of the portfolio and increases energy security, the report says.

The entire renewable potential, including solar, is less expensive than diesel, where the existing 20,000 MW of diesel based installed capacity points to innovative possibilities of scaling up renewable in a big way, according to N. Roberto Zagha, World Bank Country Director in India.

The government has set an ambitious target of installing at least 44,000 MW of additional capacity of renewables in the next 10 years.

IIMs raise the cutoff bar, entry becomes tougher




All the IIMs have already dispatched the interview letters to the short-listed candidates for PI and GD based on the overall percentile and cut-off percentile in each section. Of the four IIMs - Ahmedabad, Calcutta, Indore and Kozhikode- the IIM-Ahmedabad has a cut off percentile of 99.3 and above.

BANGALORE: Getting into IIMs is never easy. When the Indian Institutes of Management announced the cut-off percentiles for the admission process on Wednesday, a few of the IIMs had raised their cutoffs.




did islamabad have institutions like this? iam not criticizing pakisthan. see the truth we are building the nation through knowledge. what about pakistan?
Like IIM Ranchi, which had the highest cut-off of 99.65 percentile among all IIMs last year, has further raised it to 99.66 for the 2011-13 batch. At IIM-Calcutta, Ranchi's mentoring institute, the cutoff is 99.59. IIM Ahmedabad announced that 540 students whose overall percentile is 99 and of each section were 94 would be called for the personal interview. IIM Lucknow, which is one of the CAT 2010 organising institutes, has increased the weightage to CAT scores. ( Read: IIM-Bangalore ranked among top 25 business schools in the world )

What was 30% for the CAT scores has gone up to 37.5% for the next batch. The fees, too, have been raised from Rs 8 lakh to 12 lakh. IIM Kozhikode has also decided to give 50% weightage to CAT score, 15% to GD and social skills, personal interview 25% and writing task 10%.

Interestingly, many IIMs are set to take in more women and non-engineering students to increase the diversity in the institute. IIM-L has decided to give 2.5 more points for these candidates. The directors of newer IIMs will meet next week to decide on holding joint PIs and GDs. ( Read: New IIMs join hands )

The scores for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2010 were released on Wednesday. There are eight candidates who scored 100 percentile and 19 with 99.99 percentile. Of the latter group, two are women — one from Kerala and the other from Andhra Pradesh. And all of them are engineers. ( Read: CAT 2010: 8 engineers score 100 )

While many students found it difficult to access results online, the IIMs said that the website did not crash. "The highlight of the day was that the website did not crash despite around two lakh students checking the result on the web. The fact that it was slow was something that was impossible to help," said Himanshu Rai, convener, CAT. However, the rumours that the CAT results had leaked in the first week of January turned out to be true. ( Read: CAT out of the bag, but plays elusive to many )
