Expedite Polavaram-Banakacharla project works: CM

Vijayawada: Chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday directed officials to call tenders for the Polavaram-Banakacharla project by the end of June while ensuring that forest and environmental clearances, DPR approval, and other processes are completed on time for land acquisition. The project is likely to be undertaken in a hybrid annuity model (HAM). The Polavaram-Banakacharla linkage project is being constructed under the Jalharathi Corporation, and a special purpose vehicle (SPV) has already been set up for the purpose. The state has sent proposals to the central govt seeking financial resources for the project. Of the total project cost of Rs 81,900 crore, 50% or Rs 40,950 crore will be obtained as EAP loans. Additionally, 20% of the funds or Rs 16,380 crore is to be sourced as central grant, 10% or Rs 8,190 crore as state govt equity, and another 20% or Rs 16,380 crore under HAM. In a review meeting with irrigation dept officials, Naidu instructed them to take immediate steps to commence crop cultivation in Krishna and Godavari deltas. He suggested altering the cultivation period so that crops can be harvested before the cyclone season. Expressing dissatisfaction over non-functional piezometers and AWS sensors in some areas of the state, he ordered the release of Rs 30 crore for purchasing new equipments. He asked officials to gather details of areas with groundwater levels below 20 meters and between 8-20 meters and release separate bulletins by basins, districts, and central-local levels. "Measures should be taken to increase the average groundwater levels in the state. Consider using Sileru water in Krishna delta," he suggested. The CM was informed that 82% of civil construction works of Polavaram project have been completed. Less than 4% of works were done in five years during the previous govt's tenure, whereas 6% of works have been completed in 11 months after the coalition govt came to power in 2024. The diaphragm wall is 64% complete, buttress dam is 91% complete, and vibro compaction works for sand consolidation are 54% complete. The diaphragm wall construction is expected to be completed by the end of Dec, officials said. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Eid wishes , messages , and quotes !

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu instructed the officials of the Water Resources Department (WRD) to undertake the Polavaram–Banakacherla and other irrigation projects under the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) and finalise the tenders by the end of this month while securing forest and environmental clearances in a time-bound manner. Addressing a review meeting at the Secretariat near here on Friday, Mr. Chandrababu Naidu said the officials should take steps for land acquisition for the Polavaram–Banakacherla project and that it would be undertaken by the Jal Harathi Corporation. Proposals for funding were sent to the Central government. Out of the total project cost of ₹81,900 crore, a sum of ₹40,950 crore would be sought as an EAP (External Aided Project) loan, and ₹16,380 crore as grants from the Central government. The State would mobilise ₹16,380 crore under HAM and contribute ₹8,190 crore as equity. POLAVARAM The Chief Minister wanted the diaphragm wall of the Polavaram project to be completed by the end of December 2025 and noted that the overall civil works were completed to the extent of 81.70%, of which a measly progress of 3.84% was achieved under the YSR Congress Party rule. Farming Further, Mr. Naidu told the officials to take immediate steps to commence agricultural activities in the Krishna and Godavari deltas and called for focus on increasing the groundwater levels, filling reservoirs, and efficient utilisation of water resources. He expressed dissatisfaction over the non-functioning of physio meters and AWS (Automatic Weather Station) sensors in some parts of the State and ordered that a sum of ₹30 crore be sanctioned immediately for purchasing new equipment. Water audit He stressed the need for scientific water auditing, and told the officials to issue district-level bulletins containing details of groundwater levels and water availability in the river basins. He suggested that ways to bring the Sileru river water to the Krishna delta be explored, and ordered that the Veligonda Stage - I works should be completed by June, 2026. Budameru works At a media briefing, Water Resources Minister Nimmala Rama Naidu said the Chief Minister sought an action plan to curb the menace of flooding of Vijayawada city by the Budameru rivulet, which included widening the discharge capacity of its diversion channel from the present 17,500 cusecs to 37,500 cusecs.

Amazon has a ‘$5 billion plan' to meet Asia's growing cloud demand

Amazon has announced a plan to invest more than $5 billion to meet Asia's growing demand for cloud services. The investment will be focused on the Taipei region of Taiwan. According to a report by the news agency Reuters, the company has launched its Amazon Web Services (AWS) Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region. This investment is designated to support the construction, connection, operation, and maintenance of its data centres in Taiwan, Reuters reports. This investment is expected to improve the local economy and deliver advanced cloud solutions to businesses throughout Asia, Reuters noted. What the company said about the investment In a statement to BreakingTheNews, Prasad Kalyanaraman, vice president of Infrastructure Services at AWS, said: 'The new AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region will enable organisations of all sizes to build and scale with confidence using our comprehensive suite of cloud services, ranging from foundational compute and storage to advanced analytics and artificial intelligence, all while meeting local data residency requirements.' As per IndexBox data, the cloud computing market in Asia is likely to grow substantially, with Taiwan playing a pivotal role in the region's digital transformation. Amazon's strategic move seems to aim to tap into this rising demand by providing scalable and secure cloud services to a wide array of industries. Statista's data claims that revenue from the public cloud market in Asia is expected to hit US$169.29 billion in 2025. The market is predicted to grow at an average rate of 19.34% per year between 2025 and 2029, reaching a total value of US$343.33 billion by 2029, as per Statista. Amazon's latest investment will expand AWS' footprint in Taiwan, where it has maintained a presence since at least 2014. AWS plays a key role in advancing Amazon's artificial intelligence initiatives and is a leading provider of the computing power required to run AI models. In addition to its core e-commerce business, AWS is a significant revenue contributor for Amazon and has seen strong growth over the past two years, driven by rising demand for AI capabilities.
