The application of geosynthetics in infrastructure is steadily gaining ground. Largely manufactured from polymeric materials, these technical textile products are becoming more popular in various infrastructure sectors and are being used to construct retaining walls […]
Geosynthetics are man-made polymers that are used to improve soil quality and achieve better performance in geotechnical engineering projects. They are easy to produce and transport and can be used to create more environmentally sustainable […]
Pipelines play a critical role in matching the supply of natural gas with demand. With natural gas consumption in the country slated to rise and the need to move towards a gas-based economy, the development […]
For city gas distribution (CGD) companies, efficiency in business operations is essential to remain profitable. However, the expanding gas pipeline network and customer base has placed a tremendous burden on the existing infrastructure. There have been […]
The massive scale of the recently concluded ninth and tenth bidding rounds has highlighted the government’s vision of accelerating the creation of city gas distribution (CGD) infrastructure in the country. However, this expansion comes with […]
Pipelines play a critical role in matching the supply of natural gas with demand. Traditionally, most of the country’s gas production came from the western offshore finds, except for a few finds in Assam and […]
The city gas distribution (CGD) segment in the country has grown tremendously in the past few years. To fulfil its objective of making India a gas-based economy, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) […]
The share of natural gas in India’s energy consumption basket had been reducing over the years. This has been mainly due to the inadequate supply of domestic gas and insufficient liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure. […]
In the past one year, the city gas distribution (CGD) segment has witnessed remarkable growth. The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has taken several initiatives to provide a favourable business environment to CGD entities. […]
The city gas distribution (CGD) segment has been growing steadily over the past two-three years. The launch of new bidding rounds, policy and regulatory amendments to increase private interest, and initiatives to build an adequate […]
The maritime sector is an important contributor to the country’s growth, accounting for about 95 per cent of the export-import trade by volume and 70 per cent by value. India’s maritime transport growth is driven by […]
The recent policy initiatives taken by the Ministry of Shipping (MoS) to increase transshipment volumes at Indian ports is expected to add a new dimension to the maritime sector. Speaking at the 16th annual conference […]
To improve efficiency in operations and supplement public investments, private participation in the Indian port sector is critical. Public-private partnership (PPP) projects in the sector have been attempted on almost all variants of the build-operate-transfer model. […]
Over the past few years, the Indian port sector has seen a number of positive developments – greater private participation, port modernisation and the promotion of ease of doing business. Progress was noted in the […]
Inland water transport (IWT) is a competitive alternative mode of transport to road and rail. With the growth in traffic handled by national waterways (NWs), expansion and modernisation of existing NWs and development of new […]
India requires an efficient ship repair industry as more than 55 per cent of the country’s existing fleet is over 16 years old and the demand for repairing services is on the rise. At present, […]
Modernisation and mechanisation have become a key focus area for port operators in recent years. This has primarily been driven by the need for increasing efficiencies in cargo handling, reducing costs and improving customer service. […]
In comparison to their global counterparts, Indian ports are still at a nascent stage of technology adoption. Factors such as shortage of trained and skilled manpower for operating advanced equipment, a general reluctance to adopt new […]
Indian ports handle around 9 per cent of global container traffic and the domestic containerisation level stands at around 40 per cent, as compared to 44 per cent globally. Indian ports cumulatively handled 15.07 million […]
The share of regasified LNG (RLNG) in total natural gas consumption has been steadily increasing since 2012-13. While it was 38 per cent in 2012-13, it stood at 51 per cent as of December 2018. […]
