Delhi Metro’s Magenta Line: New Hauz Khas station an engineering landmark

The 24.82-km-long Janakpuri West-Kalkaji Mandir stretch of the Delhi Metro’s Magenta Line is all set to be open for public tomorrow. It will bring domestic terminal of the Delhi airport on the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) network and cut travel time between Noida and Gurugram by at least 30 minutes.

Once the stretch is opened, it will take the total length of the DMRC network to 277 km, officials said.

At 29 metres, the five-level new Hauz Khas station is the deepest metro station in the entire network and an engineering landmark as its tunnel goes beneath that of the old station’s.

“The escalators installed at Janakpuri West have the highest elevation in India,” a DMRC spokesperson said. While the total horizontal length of the escalators is 35.3 metres, their height is 15.6 metres.

The total weight of each escalator is about 26 tonnes. “The height of these escalators is equal to the height of a five-storey building,” the spokesperson added.

India's billionaire count to swell to 357 by 2027: Report

According to AfrAsia Bank Global Wealth Migration Review, India currently has 119 billionaires, and this number is expected to swell to 357 by 2027.

India has the third largest number of billionaires in the world, and in the next decade, as many as 238 additional ultra high net worth individuals will join this elite club, says a report.

According to AfrAsia Bank Global Wealth Migration Review, India currently has 119 billionaires, and this number is expected to swell to 357 by 2027.

Over the next 10 years, while India is expected to create 238 additional billionaires, its neighbour China is likely to add as 448 such individuals.

By 2027, the United States is likely to have the maximum number of billionaires at 884, followed by China (697), and India (357) in the second and third positions, respectively.

India is beating China in the race to build massive solar power projects
Since its big entry a decade ago, China has led the global solar energy industry. A massive manufacturing sector that has driven down costs, coupled with supportive government policies, have helped it commission multiple large-scale projects and become the world’s largest producer of solar energy.

Meanwhile, neighbouring India has turned up at the party a little late—but is now racing ahead in terms of big projects.

Half of the world’s 10 largest solar parks under construction currently are in India, says a report by US-based think tank Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).

China still has the largest ones. Its 1,547 megawatt (MW) Tengger Desert Solar Park, for instance, is the world’s biggest.

But those that India’s building are larger. For instance, by early 2019, the work on a 2,225 MW facility at Bhadla, Rajasthan, is expected to be completed. A third of this plant is already operational. Also on the cards is a massive 5,000 MW solar park along the Gulf of Khambhat in Gujarat. Even for rooftop solar installation, India has gone big. A 19 MW system installed on an 82-acre campus of the RSSB Educational and Environmental Society in Amritsar, Punjab, is currently the world’s largest.

“India has pioneered the concept of the ultra mega power plant (UMPP) in a single solar industrial park. This approach has been instrumental in driving economies of scale and procuring global capital flows…over the last two years with an immediate boon in the form of a halving of solar tariffs to a record low of Rs2.44 (per unit),” the IEEFA report said.

The country is targeting an installed capacity of 100,000 MW of solar power by 2022, up from around 21,000 MW now. It is also chasing an overall renewable energy capacity of 175,000 MW by that year.

This spike in activity has made solar energy cheaper than coal-based power and helped with capacity addition. China, meanwhile, is expected to achieve grid parity—when an alternate source of energy is as cheap or cheaper than power purchased from the grid—only by 2022, IEEFA said.

The Narendra Modi government has also been working to establish India as a clean energy leader. In March this year, for instance, the country hosted the launch of the International Solar Alliance (ISA), a non-profit group of 121 countries promoting solar energy. Industry experts saw the establishment of the ISA headquarters in India as a sign that India is claiming pole position in climate leadership.

Yet, multiple policy issues remain. For starters, there’s the expected imposition of import duties on solar panels, which could cripple growth. The country’s rooftop solar programme is also failing, with installation numbers falling short of targets.

Both exchanges in Mumbai comes to total market cap of above 4.5 Trillion dollar mark

Yeah but many companies are listed on both....so its not really case of adding both together meaning something big/relevant.

Total market cap of India is around 2.5 trillion USD.
 
My x10 PPP value implies:
  • 2.5 * 10 = US $ 25 Trillion
Somehow that also feels befitting for 1.25 Billion with lots of room to grow.

An example is the Nitin Gadkari plan to electrify the Indian transportation vertical, saving US $ 300-500 Billion/yr.-on-yr.
