Govt urges BSNL circles to boost service quality, fix tower power issues
Minister of state for telecom Chandra Sekhar Pemmsani on Friday asked four BSNL circles including UP and Bihar to improve quality of service, resolve tower power issues and take other measures to boost the company's presence. In July last week, Union telecom minister Jyotiraditya Scindia had asked the state-run telecom firm to add customers and grow its mobile service business by 50 per cent in the next year. During a review meeting of BSNL of all circle and business unit heads, the minister asked each unit to increase enterprise business by 25-30 per cent and fixed line business by a minimum of 15-20 per cent. "Reviewed @BSNLCorporate performance of UP, Bihar, MP & West Bengal circles today. Emphasised improving quality of service, resolving tower power issues, timely rectification of fibre cuts, and adopting innovative, locally-suited sales & marketing strategies to strengthen BSNL's footprint," Pemmasani said on social media platform X. The government has pumped in over Rs 3 lakh in the last six years to revive the company. BSNL has posted net profit in two consecutive quarters after a gap of 18 years. The state-run firm had posted a profit of Rs 280 crore in the March quarter of FY25 against a loss of Rs 849 crore in the year-ago period. The company had posted a profit after tax of Rs 262 crore in the October-December period of the previous fiscal year. However, the company has been continuously seeing decline in customer base mainly due to service quality issues.

Govt aims to accelerate pace of highway construction to 100 km/day: Gadkari
Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Friday said the government's aim is to accelerate the pace of highway construction to 100 km a day from 38 km/day at present. Speaking at the Business Today India@100 event, Gadkari said so far this year, the road ministry has awarded highways projects worth ₹2.5 lakh crore, and by March next year, it will award highways projects worth ₹10 lakh crore. "Currently, the pace of National Highways construction in India is 38 km/day. We aim to accelerate the pace of highway construction to 100 km a day. This is our target, whether it will happen next year, I can not say," he said. The ministry constructed 10,660 km of national highways in 2024-25, 12,349 km in 2023-24 and 10,331 km in 2022-23. Responding to the growing concern over social media about E20, rolled out by the government, is damaging the vehicle and there is no reduction in fuel cost, Gadkari rejected the claim, saying that the petroleum sector is lobbying against this move. "I challenge, if anyone has faced difficulty in his vehicle on account of mixing of ethanol in petrol," Gadkari, who is known for his frank views, said. The minister further said that Pune-based Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) conducts trials and comes up with reports before the government takes a call on ethanol blending. Currently, Indian vehicles can run on E20 petrol with minor changes to the engine to prevent corrosion and other issues. In 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched petrol blended with 20 per cent ethanol. The Indian government will introduce guidelines for 27 per cent ethanol blending in petrol by the end of August. Ethanol, which can be produced from sugarcane, broken rice and other agricultural products, is expected to help reduce India's dependence on foreign oil. India is currently the world's third-largest oil consumer and imports about 88 per cent of its crude oil requirements, making it vulnerable to geopolitical vagaries that can impact crude prices. Gadkari reiterated that his aim is to make India's automobile industry number one in the world. The size of the Indian automobile industry is now ₹22 lakh crore. Presently, the size of the US automobile industry is ₹78 lakh crore, followed by China (₹47 lakh crore) and India (₹22 lakh crore). According to the minister, the automobile industry has created 4.5 crore jobs till now -- the highest in the country. Gadkari also said the days are not far away when prices of electric vehicles (EVs) will be less than those of petrol vehicles in the country within six months. The minister also said India's logistics cost will come down to 9 per cent by December this year. In China, the logistics cost is 8 per cent, and in the US and European countries, it is 12 per cent, the minister said. Gadkari also emphasised the need to increase the productivity of the agriculture sector.

TVS SCS Q1 net profit soars eightfold to Rs 71 crore on InvIT, ops gains
TVS Supply Chain Solutions, one of the largest integrated supply chain solution providers in India, posted an over eightfold rise in consolidated net profit during the first quarter of 2025–26 to Rs 71.16 crore, compared to Rs 7.47 crore during the April–June quarter of FY25. The rise in profit was mainly due to improved operational performance and gains from an exceptional item following the listing of Rs 1,300 crore worth InvIT by TVS Industrial & Logistics Parks. The offering comprised a fresh issue of Rs 1,050 crore and an offer-for-sale of Rs 250 crore by an existing unitholder. The consolidated revenue for the quarter stood at Rs 2,592.31 crore, compared to Rs 2,539.39 crore in Q1 FY25, marking a year-on-year growth of 2.1 per cent. Adjusted EBITDA on a sequential basis was Rs 172.01 crore in Q1 FY26, as against Rs 156.41 crore in Q4 FY25, a growth of 10 per cent. Ravi Viswanathan, Managing Director, TVS Supply Chain Solutions Ltd, said, 'We have entered FY26 with a continued focus on performance excellence, customer-centricity, and long-term value creation. The new unified structure in Europe and the UK is driving operational synergies and enhancing service delivery through deeper customer engagement and sharper execution. Combining this with our focused business development efforts, we are confident that this alignment will position us to better meet evolving customer needs and unlock new growth opportunities.' The share of profit from TVS ILP, in which TVS SCS holds a 25.2 per cent stake, was Rs 177.23 crore in Q1 FY26. This followed the transfer of 11 million square feet of warehouse space as part of its InvIT (Infrastructure Investment Trust) listing. R Vaidhyanathan, Global Chief Financial Officer, TVS Supply Chain Solutions Ltd, said, 'We began FY26 on a steady note, with improved profit delivery and disciplined execution of our transformation initiatives. Our margin improvement reflects operational discipline across key businesses. Our strategic cost take-out initiatives are tracking well across regions. The restructuring programme in the UK and Europe is set to drive a step-change in operating leverage and long-term margin trajectory by redefining our cost baseline. We are confident of delivering progressive improvements in margin profile and bottom-line performance through the course of FY26 and beyond.' The company has consolidated its Integrated Final Mile (IFM) business into the Integrated Supply Chain Solutions (ISCS) segment across the UK and Europe to further strengthen its end-to-end solutions offering. This strategic move is aimed at meeting growing customer demand for seamless solutions. The unified structure enhances service delivery, sharpens execution, reduces duplication, and supports margin expansion.
