Rayalaseema to get two Industrial parks
Kadapa: Union Minister of State for Rural Development Dr Pemmasani Chandrasekhar said Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has taken steps to set up two industrial parks at a cost of Rs 5,000 crore in Rayalaseema region.
Addressing TDP Mahanadu meeting in Kadapa on Wednesday, he said the CM has taken steps to get Rs 50,000 crore worth Central government projects in the next five years in the State besides constructing the State capital Amaravati in a big way.
He recalled that the Centre allotted Rs 9,000 crore to AP in the railway budget during the current financial year.
The Union Minister said, 'The aim of CM Naidu is to develop the State for future generations. At present, the government is developing roads at a cost of Rs 20,000 crore in all the Assembly constituencies across the State.'
He criticised that the previous YSRCP government had failed to utilise Central schemes for State development and cheated the people. The coalition government gave a new lease to the people, he added.
He said petrochemical complex will be set up in state with Rs 95,000 crore and it will give big boost for the development of the State. Dr Pemmasani said, the aim of the meeting is to develop the State and render better services to the people.
Earlier, he paid tributes to the portrait of late CM NT Rama Rao on the occasion of his birth anniversary.

ICRA reaffirms ratings of Ethos at 'A+' with 'stable' outlook
Ethos said that the credit rating agency ICRA has reaffirmed the company's long-term rating at '[ICRA] A+' with 'stable' outlook. ICRA stated that the rating reaffirmation factors in ICRAs expectations that Ethos will continue to maintain a satisfactory financial profile, led by a healthy YoY growth in its revenues and profit margins. Healthy demand in the luxury watches retail segment in India, increasing average selling prices, as well as the ongoing store network expansion augur well for the companys business prospects and are expected to strengthen the companys market position. Furthermore, the consistent increase in exclusive brand arrangements and growing traction in the new lifestyle vertical (Rimowa and Messika), along with the international expansion in Dubai will continue to support the companys margin profile. The companys credit metrics have remained comfortable with benefits accruing from the growing scale amid healthy demand from luxury and high-end luxury segments, regular fund raising and limited external debt on its books. ICRA expects Ethos credit metrics to remain healthy, led by strong liquidity position and benefits accruing from its retail network expansion. The rating continues to favourably factor in Ethos position as the largest organised luxury watch retailer in the country. The ratings are further supported by the expected pick-up in the performance of the parent company, KDDL Limited, over the medium term. The ratings, however, are constrained by the inherently working-capital intensive nature of the companys business. The company needs to maintain adequate inventory across various watch segments to maintain the brands standard of displaying products to its customers. Additionally, the company is exposed to forex fluctuation risk, as a substantial portion of its products is imported. Moreover, the company is exposed to competition from domestic players and international markets in the retail segment. Going forward, its ability to expand its store network while maintaining its margins and credit metrics will continue to remain a key monitorable. Ethos was incorporated in 2003 and is a material subsidiary of KDDL Limited. The company is involved in retailing luxury watches. It retails nearly 70 premium and luxury watch brands such as Omega, Jaeger LeCoultre, Panerai, Bvlgari, H. Moser & Cie, Rado, Longines, and Tissot. The company runs 73 retail stores across 26cities in India, including cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and Kolkata. The scrip fell 1.70% to currently trade at Rs 2840 on the BSE.

Why India will be the data capital of the world in five years
Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said that the telecom subscriber base in India has expanded from 800 million a decade ago to 1.2 billion this year, a level where India is now the second largest mobile market read more Indian telecom minister has projected that the country is poised to become the data capital of the world within next five years. Source: PTI Indian telecom minister has projected that the country is poised to become the data capital of the world within next five years. While speaking at the CII Annual Business Summit 2025 on Thursday (May 29), Jyotiraditya Scindia said that India is leading a digital-first economy, with the telecom revolution being the driving force. 'India, I believe, in the next five years, will become the data capital of the world,' Scindia said. The minister informed that the telecom subscriber base in India has expanded from 800 million a decade ago to 1.2 billion this year, a level where India is now the second largest mobile market. He added that the broadband base in the country has also grown to 940 million. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The minister highlighted how connectivity costs have fallen drastically over the past decade, recalling days when tariffs were as high as Rs 16 per minute. 'When we talk about data, 11 years ago, 1 GB of data would cost you Rs 287. Today, 1 GB of data costs you Rs 9. There is a 97 per cent reduction in the cost of communication,' Scindia was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. The minister concluded by stating that India's cost of data communication is currently just 5 per cent of the global average. Sanchar Mitra Scheme Meanwhile, the government has also launched the Sanchar Mitra Scheme, which aims to improve the connection between the telecom industry and everyday citizens. When asked about whether satellite communication service would be available in India, Scindia said it was up to telecom companies to decide how to go about it after they get necessary permission from the government. He emphasised that the government's role is to issue these licenses as long as the companies meet specific requirements. Currently, two companies have already qualified, and a third is close to qualifying. Scindia reaffirmed the government's commitment to granting licenses to companies that comply with the rules. He also mentioned that once companies receive the necessary spectrum to operate their services, they must chart their own course based on the regulations set by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).
