CITCO petrol pumps record increased profit
Chandigarh: CITCO petrol pumps have recorded a significant profit of Rs 1,747.68 lakh during the financial year 2024–25, with total sales of Rs 68,386.01 lakh. The profit increased from Rs 1,176.99 lakh in financial year 2022-23 to Rs 1,527.60 lakh in the financial year 2023-24, showing a growth of Rs 350.61 lakh.
"This increase in profit indicates a positive trend in the company's performance. The company's expansion, including the start of three new petrol pumps since 2021, contributed to this considerable increase in profits. This impressive growth is the outcome of a series of strategic and customer-focused initiatives undertaken by CITCO," said a CITCO spokesperson.
"One of the key milestones was the introduction of a CNG facility at the Dhanas petrol pump in July 2024, offering an eco-friendly fuel alternative to meet the growing demand for cleaner energy.
Additionally, the modernisation of the CITCO petrol pump in Sector 56 further improved customer service, operational efficiency, and overall user experience," the spokesperson added.
To cater to an expanding customer base, CITCO is now extending its petrol pump in Industrial Area Phase-I, which will feature state-of-the-art facilities to enhance the fuelling experience.
Further, CITCO, in association with IOCL, has entered into an understanding with Chandigarh Transport Undertaking (CTU) to supply diesel directly into CTU depots, which will further boost the sales and profits of CITCO in the coming days. Efforts are also being made to install EV charging stations across the CITCO petrol stations in the coming days.

In all, 210 players were registered from UP. The players included those who play for Railways but have domicile in UP. For this, Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) had asked for permission from BCCI to allow inclusion of Railways players who were outside the competitive cricket for 12 months and whose domicile was from UP. Total 10 players from Railways, out of 45, were picked by the franchises through open bid auction. Six teams in aggregate will pay around Rs 2.8 crore to these players. Right arm medium pacer Kartik Tyagi, whose base price was Rs 5 lakh became the second highest-paid player after he was roped in by Meerut Mavericks for Rs 16.25 lakh. Upendra Yadav from Railways became the third highest-paid player who was taken in by Kashi Rudras for Rs 13.5 lakh. Right hand batter Shivam Chaudhary from Railways was roped by Noida Kings for Rs 10.75 lakh.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now With Season 3, we are witnessing unprecedented enthusiasm from players and franchises alike. The auction is not just a selection process — it's a celebration of opportunity, aspiration, and the future of Uttar Pradesh cricket. I am confident this season will set new benchmarks in professionalism, talent discovery, and fan engagement," said BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla. Chairman, Governing Council of UPT20 league, Devendra Chauhan said, "In the third edition of UP T20 League, we have introduced a new feature that players who are domiciled in Uttar Pradesh and play in the Ranji Trophy for the Railways have been included. There are about 11-12 such players whose domicile is in UP, and they have been permitted by the BCCI. As a result, there was intense bidding which will enhance competition, create rivalry, and generate attraction for UP. " "Players selected through talent hunts conducted by the franchises in various districts and camps were given Rs 1.5 lakh in the last season. Their remuneration has been increased to Rs 2 lakh as these players do not get opportunities elsewhere," he said.

Govt college faculty sponsor student fees to boost enrolment
1 2 3 Udupi: At a time when admissions to the Government First Grade College, Hiriyadka, saw a steady decline, faculty members took it upon themselves to reverse the trend by sponsoring student fees and actively encouraging enrolments. Initially, the college announced fee waivers for students who scored 70% and above. Now, associate professor of Kannada, Sowmyalatha P, has taken the initiative further by offering to sponsor three years of education for any deserving student, regardless of marks. In a WhatsApp message that has now gone viral, Sowmyalatha highlighted the growing preference among students for private and paramedical courses, especially nursing and polytechnic, often at the cost of quality yet affordable education available at govt colleges. "There is a misconception that govt colleges lack facilities or opportunities. Many students are also dropping the idea of higher education altogether. We want every child to become a graduate. This message is particularly for rural students who have the interest, but face financial barriers. There has been a drastic decline in admissions post Covid-19 pandemic," she said. The college offers BA, BCom, and BCA courses, and students from distant districts like Vijayapura, Raichur, and Bagalkot have reached out following her message. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo While the college does not have a hostel, Sowmyalatha said BCM hostels can be arranged, and the principal has assured support. "We have received about 20 BCom applications so far, and a few BA and BCA enquiries too. The annual fees is less than Rs 10,000 per student. This is a small investment compared to the value of education," she said, adding that she decided to sponsor students as she is set to retire in another 18 months. Principal Prof Jayaprakash Shetty said this is part of a larger effort to make govt colleges more accessible. "Many students are drawn to nursing due to job promises, but several drop out midway and end up working in factories to repay loans. We want them to make informed choices. Our staff, including eight permanent faculty, are committed to strengthening the college," he said. The college has also partnered with MSDC, Manipal, to introduce skill development programmes, and this academic year, classes are likely to begin 15 days early with a bridge course. Admissions are open till Aug.

ATP tour in India: What a toll pass means for your drive on national highways
NHAI will start issuing ATPs from Aug 15 NEW DELHI: The Centre will roll out an 'Annual Toll Pass' (ATP) for private car owners that will let you drive through toll plazas without having to stop and pay - either by cash or through FASTag - on national highways and expressways that are managed by NHAI (National Highways Authority of India). The pass does not replace FASTag but is a parallel system in which you make a one-time payment and accounting is done on the basis of trips you make, not the balance on your card. Only private cars will be eligible for ATPs, not taxis or any other commercial vehicle. When can you get an ATP? NHAI will start issuing ATPs from Aug 15. An ATP can be bought for Rs 3,000 and will be for a year from the date of purchase. Within this period, an ATP holder will be eligible for 200 trips on the NHAI network. Once the trip limit is breached, you can renew an ATP for a year. Alternatively, you can pay through FASTag. Buying an ATP won't be mandatory to drive on the NHAI network. Those who want to keep using FASTag can continue to do so. How does ATP define a trip? Crossing one toll plaza will count as one trip on an ATP. Say you're driving from Delhi to Chandigarh or Delhi to Jaipur on NHs. Every time you cross a toll plaza, it counts as a trip. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 34歳以上の男性が今年最高のPCゲームと絶賛！今すぐ無料でダウンロード BuzzDaily Winners ゲームをプレイ Undo So, if you've crossed four toll plazas, your trip count on the ATP is four. This is how ATP will work on an open tolling system, which is any highway other than access-controlled ones. For highways that have a closed tolling system, which means you pay only at point of exit, the journey will count as one trip. For example, on roads such as Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway or Eastern Peripheral Expressway, if you're travelling end to end, it's counted as one trip. However, if you exit midway and re-enter the road at another point, the trip count will increase to two. Do you save if you have an ATP? If you are a frequent inter-state traveller, an ATP will be cheaper. For example, you now pay a total toll of around Rs 325 to travel one-way between Delhi and Chandigarh on NH-44, at four toll plazas. So, by the time you've made nine one-way trips, you've spent more than Rs 3,000, which is what you buy an ATP for. But with the ATP, you can make 50 one-way trips. This translates to paying only Rs 60 as toll for one-way (at Rs 15 per toll) compared to the current charge of Rs 325. Will ATP work on state highways and expressways? No. For example, you can use the ATP on Delhi-Meerut Expressway, which is under NHAI, but not Yamuna Expressway (managed by Uttar Pradesh govt) when driving in Delhi-NCR. Similarly, ATP will work on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway (NHAI) but not Mumbai-Pune expressway and Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Mahamarg (state govt). Since no state toll plaza will read an ATP, you will continue to be charged through FASTag when you drive through these. How do you get an ATP? The Annual Toll Pass will be available for purchase through NHAI's Rajmargyatra mobile app and on its website. It will not be available for sale or activation through any other portal, third-party website, offline store, or bank websites. After verification of application, NHAI will issue a pass in two hours. ATP will not be a separate card or tag but will be linked to your existing FASTag. NHAI has advised users to avoid purchasing pass from unauthorised sources to prevent fraud. Applications for ATP will open mid-July. NHAI helpline1033 will also provide information on ATP and guide callers. To activate an ATP, an applicant will need to provide consent to Rajmargyatra app to retrieve the mobile number registered with the FASTag from the respective bank for sending SMS alerts and other related communications. Can you use an ATP on 2 cars? No. Just like FASTag, ATP will be valid only for the car for which it is issued. ATP will be non-transferable. Use on another vehicle will result in deactivation. ATP will also not be issued for FASTags linked to chassis numbers. Can ATP be used for parking at malls and airports? The annual pass will not cover any such fee collection point. Parking fees will be deducted via FASTag as usual.
