Open access fuel farm at Guwahati international airport
A spokesperson of the LGBI airport has said that the open access fuel farm and aircraft refueling facility have been developed by acquiring the assets of various oil marketing companies operating at the airport.
She said that over the next 24 months, a jet fuel storage facility featuring a state-of-the-art hydrant refueling system would be commissioned at the airside.
This new development at LGBI Airport would avoid duplication of infrastructure and equipment due to the presence of a common carrier of fuel, offering economies of scale through the low cost of infrastructure.
The open access model would increase competition, reduce costs, and lower the entry barrier for new players, the official said.
She added that the hydrant system envisages an efficient and safe aircraft refueling process and added that overall, the open access fuel farm streamlines fuel handling processes and offers scope to increase the efficiency of operations.
"The commissioning of the open access fuel farm and aircraft fueling facility at LGBI Airport is a significant step forward in the airport's journey towards becoming a leading aviation hub," the spokesperson said.
According to the official, this development not only enhances the airport's operational capabilities but also underscores its commitment to sustainable and efficient aviation practices.
As the airport continues to evolve, it stands as a beacon of progress and innovation in the aviation industry.
Open access fuel farm is a unique fueling system at airports that provides a level playing field to oil marketing companies (OMC), allowing them to supply fuel to airlines based on their agreements.
This leads to overall optimisation in the jet fuel handling supply chain.
It removes entry barriers for new oil marketers and widens the choice for airlines to select the OMC of their choice for refueling.
The Guwahati International Airport Limited (GIAL) is managed by Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL), a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises, the flagship company of the globally diversified Adani Group.
The GIAL is a Public Private Partnership (PPP) venture between AAHL and Airport Authority of India (AAI) in a concession agreement of 50 years.
AAHL aims to converge India's biggest cities in a hub and spoke model through the Group's proven strength in developing and managing complex transport and logistics hubs.
The LGBI Airport, known as Guwahati Airport, is the primary international airport in northeast India, located in Borjhar, nearly 26 km from Guwahati, Assam's main city and commercial hub.
Named after the first Chief Minister of Assam, Gopinath Bordoloi, the airport serves as a crucial gateway to the northeastern states, connecting the region to major domestic and international destinations.
The Guwahati Airport offers a range of services, including retail outlets, dining options, lounges, and business facilities, ensuring a comfortable experience for travellers.

Risk-reward attractive; I would like to bet on Infosys, HCL Tech, TCS, even Wipro: Nilesh Jain
Nilesh Jain, VP- Head Derivatives and Technical research, Centrum Broking, says optimism surrounds OMC space and crude-related stocks, fueled by Brent crude's correction benefiting paint stocks. Asian Paints, rebounding after a consolidation breakout, is poised for an upward trajectory towards 2600-2620, with a stop loss at 2480. Manappuram Finance exhibits strength, mirroring Muthoot Finance's post-earnings surge. The Nifty IT index, recently declining from 39,200 to 34,400, appears oversold. With major IT results released, the worst may be over in the short to medium term. Large-cap IT stocks like Infosys, HCL Tech, TCS, and Wipro show rebound signs, potentially driving momentum towards the 36,000 level, with strong support at 34,200. ADVERTISEMENT What is the way ahead in terms of support and resistance level on Nifty and Bank Nifty? Nilesh Jain: Looking at the rebound that we have seen last week after six weeks of consecutive declines, we are likely to witness a follow-up move on the upside on the back of a retracement and also on the back of a short covering move that we are expecting from here. The FIIs long-short ratio has gone into extremely oversold territory. Even on the technical front, the markets were trading in oversold territory. So, from here, we are expecting a strong pullback this week. On the lower side, the good part of the Nifty's today's move is that it had managed to end above 24,600 and also above its 100-day moving average as well. Looking at the overall setup, it looks like a gradual up move can be expected in the Nifty index towards 24,700, 24,800 on the upside. Similarly, although Bank Nifty has been a laggard, we have seen some positive momentum in the Bank Nifty as well. 55,000 is acting as a very strong support and throughout this week, Bank Nifty has defended the 55,000 levels and that is a positive sign. We are expecting a move towards 55,600 and 56,000 on the upside. A better approach should be to focus on sectors and stocks. On the index front, yes, long positions can be initiated but buy dips should be the strategy. Markets did manage to sustain those 24,600 levels, but what are the trading ideas for the next sessions? Which sectors should one eye and do you have any scrips in your mind? Nilesh Jain: We are watching out for OMC space and in crude-related stocks, we are expecting a positive move to continue. Since we have seen a meaningful correction in Brent crude, it will be supportive for the paint stock as well. So, within the paint space Asian Paints is one of the beaten down stocks, recently we have seen a good momentum coming back in this particular counter. So, structure-wise, a long consolidation breakout. I would say, the stock has given a breakout from its past 10-11 month consolidation, looks strong for further momentum to continue on the upside and we are expecting a move towards 2600 to 2620 on the upside. So, 2480 will be the stop loss for this particular counter, Asian Paints is a buy from a short to medium-term perspective. ADVERTISEMENT Apart from that, we have seen a strong move in Manappuram Finance and Muthoot Finance. Specifically post numbers, Muthoot Finance has given a big spurt and similarly setup for the Manappuram Finance is also looking strong. We are expecting a follow-up move to continue. Today we have already seen a strong breakout with a good volume participation. So, Manappuram Finance is a buy with a stop loss below 260 and target would be 274. Unlock 500+ Stock Recos on App What is to be done with the midcap IT plays? There was a time when the IT sector was not performing when we started with the earning season, of course, because IT majors were not giving a good set of results, but last week, it was the midcap IT plays which tried to see a comeback. Should we consider this comeback a promising or we need to wait and watch? Nilesh Jain: Nifty IT index has been a beaten down sector. We have seen a decline all the way from the levels of 39,200 to 34,500, 34,400. That was the recent low we have seen in this particular index. Now it looks like it has gone into extremely oversold territory. The major results have already been spun out within the IT pack and it seems like the worst is behind for the IT space at least from a short to medium-term perspective. ADVERTISEMENT The risk-reward is looking attractive at present level. I would like to bet on the largecap IT names like Infosys, HCL Tech, TCS, or maybe Wipro as well. These are the stocks that are showing signs of rebound from the lower level. So, we can expect momentum to continue at least from the August series expiry point of view. As far as the index is concerned, 36,000 level is something that we are expecting and 34,200 is acting as a very strong support. Till it does not break below the same we can expect a gradual up to continue. Within the midcap IT pack, Persistent, LTIM, Coforge are the couple of stocks we have seen a strong momentum today, but towards the closing up, we have seen some bit of profit taking, but the overall setup looks positive from a short-term perspective. We are expecting this pullback to continue.

India may become super rich again! This state hits JACKPOT of huge deposit of gold, the state is...
Representative AI image Odisha gold reserves: You must have read many stories about the famous Kolar Gold Fields of Karnataka, a mining region in KGF taluk, Kolar district, which was once known to be the 'Golden City of India'. However, with time, the significance of the place faded. Now, in a matter of good news for India, a new gold reserve has been reportedly found in the eastern part of India. As per media reports, Odisha has emerged as a potential new hub for gold mining following the recently reported discoveries. Where has been gold found in Odisha? In the recent development, the Geological Survey of India has identified several areas of Odisha including Deogarh (Adasa-Rampalli), Sundargarh, Nabarangpur, Keonjhar, Angul, and Koraput where gold reserves have been confirmed and places like Mayurbhanj, Malkangiri, Sambalpur, and Boudh where the gold search is still underway, a report by Times Now said. How will Odisha extract the gold reserves? The media reports also said that the Odisha government, along with OMC and GSI, is expediting plans to commercialise new gold finds. In the plan of action to find the gold reserves, the state is preparing to auction its first gold mining block in Deogarh, while GSI is advancing exploration from G3 to G2 level in areas such as Adasa-Rampalli and Gopur-Gajipur to confirm the availability of gold resources. Although the actual amount of gold reserves has not been valued, experts view that the reserves may range between 10 to 20 metric tonnes and the mining of the reserves is expected to start soon. Why Odisha gold reserves are a good news for India? Readers should note that India imported around 700–800 metric tonnes of gold in the previous year and the domestic gold production is minimal, just 1.6 tonnes annually as of 2020. If the gold reserves are actually found in good quantity in Odisha, it may prove to be a gamechanger for the Indian economy and more specifically for the state of Odisha.
