Main Negotiations Around India-UK FTA Concluded, Ready To Welcome PM Modi: Vikram Doraiswami
At the invitation of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, PM Modi will undertake an official visit to the United Kingdom from July 23 to 24. This marks his fourth visit to the UK. Doraiswami told IANS that both countries will discuss 'a lot on trade and investment, especially how to implement the trade agreement once it is signed, and how both countries can further strengthen their economic relationship'. 'The Indian companies operating in the UK are largely satisfied; they have received good market access here,' he added. According to Doraiswami, the 'main FTA negotiations have concluded, as announced by the Prime Ministers of both nations on May 6. However, some paperwork still needs to be finalised — this is called 'legal scrubbing,' to ensure that the agreement is legally sound and all documents are ready for an agreement'. Doraiswami told IANS that 'Our entire team is working in London to prepare for PM Modi's visit'. PM Modi and Starmer on May 6 this year announced the successful conclusion of a mutually beneficial India-UK FTA, which is expected to double the trade between the two countries to $120 billion by 2030. Under the free trade agreement, 99 per cent of Indian exports to the UK will get the benefit of zero duty, according to an official statement. The agreement opens up massive export opportunities for India's labour-intensive sectors such as textiles, marine products, leather, footwear, sports goods and toys, gems and jewellery, and other important sectors such as engineering goods, auto parts and engines, and organic chemicals, the statement said. In the second leg of the tour, PM Modi will undertake a state visit to Maldives from July 25-26 at the invitation of Maldivian President Dr Mohamed Muizzu. This marks PM Modi's third visit to the island nation and the first by any head of state or government during President Muizzu's tenure.

No issues found in fuel switches in its Boeing 737 MAX planes: Akasa Air
Akasa Air has completed the checks on the fuel switches of its Boeing 737 MAX planes and there were no adverse findings, a senior airline executive said on Tuesday. The airline has a fleet of 30 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. A total of 196 such aircraft are to be delivered to the carrier in the coming years. Last week, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) directed airlines to inspect the fuel switch locking system in their Boeing 787 and 737 planes by July 21. The direction came after the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) said in its preliminary report that fuel switches were cut off before the Air India plane crash last month. Akasa Air's Chief Financial Officer Ankur Goel said the airline complies with whatever requirements that continue to come either from Boeing as a manufacturer or from the DGCA as a safety regulator. "The inspection has been done. We have reported our findings to the DGCA. Very happy to say that no adverse findings found on the switches at all," he told PTI. He was responding to a query about the findings of the inspection of the fuel switches. Fuel control switches regulate the flow of fuel into the aircraft engines. Earlier in the day, Air India said it has completed "precautionary" inspection of the locking mechanism of the fuel control switch (FCS) on its Boeing 787 and 737 aircraft fleet and no issues were found. Air India has a total of 33 wide-body Boeing 787s and Air India Express has around 75 narrow-body 737s. There are more than 150 Boeing 737s and 787s being operated by Indian airlines. Akasa Air and SpiceJet operate Boeing 737s. IndiGo also operates Boeing 787 and 737s, but they are leased from foreign airlines, which means they won't be subject to the DGCA directive. On June 12, Air India's Boeing 787-8 plane operating the flight AI 171 enroute to London Gatwick from Ahmedabad crashed into a building soon after take off, killing 260 people, including 19 on the ground.

Flood and heatwave risks increasing in urban India, $2.4 trillion investment required: World Bank
As urbanisation accelerates, cities are becoming more vulnerable to floods, heatwaves, and other climate-related risks. A World Bank report released on July 22 estimates that over $2.4 trillion will be needed by 2050 to develop resilient, low-carbon infrastructure. A World Bank report released on July 22 estimates that over $2.4 trillion will be needed by 2050 to develop resilient, low-carbon infrastructure.(Photo by Sunil Ghosh / Hindustan Times) (Representational photo)(HT Files) Much of the ongoing urban expansion is taking place in 'flood-prone and heat-vulnerable areas.' Cities such as Delhi, Chennai, Surat, and Lucknow are among the most at risk, with rapid settlement growth in vulnerable zones amplifying the impacts of flooding and urban heat island effects, it noted. "In Delhi, the report highlights risks linked to rising temperatures and urban flooding. Heat stress is also expected to intensify. Between 1983 and 2016, exposure to dangerous heat levels increased by 71 percent in India's 10 largest cities, rising from 4.3 billion to 10.1 billion person-hours per year," the report titled 'Towards Resilient and Prosperous Cities in India' said. The report prepared in partnership with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs noted that "annual economic losses from rain-related flooding are currently estimated at 4 billion dollars. These are projected to rise to five billion dollars by 2030 and between 14 and 30 billion dollars by 2070 if no remedial action is taken." India's urban population is expected to nearly double from 480 million in 2020 to 951 million by 2050, making its cities increasingly vulnerable to climate-related risks, the report noted. The report warns that erratic rainfall, heatwaves, and rising sea levels are putting immense pressure on urban infrastructure. Without timely and large-scale investments in housing, transport, water supply, and waste management, the economic costs from climate-related damage will continue to rise. Also Read: 'Does the area flood?' Bengaluru homebuyers and investors now have fresh real estate worry "Timely actions can avert billions of annual damages and losses in flooding and extreme heat while investing in resilient and efficient municipal infrastructure and services," the report said. The report also raised concerns about heat-related deaths. "If emissions continue at current levels, annual heat-related deaths may rise from 1,44,000 to more than 3,28,000 by 2050. Around 20 percent of working hours in major Indian cities could be lost due to high heat stress conditions," it says. According to the report, the country's urban projected population will be around 1.1 billion by 2070. "More than 144 million new urban homes will be required, doubling the current housing stock," the report states. To offset these risks, the World Bank estimates that India will need to invest 2.4 trillion dollars by 2050 and 10.9 trillion dollars by 2070 across sectors such as housing, public transport, solid waste management, and municipal services. "However, India currently spent around 10.6 billion dollars per year from 2011 to 2018. India's current spending on urban infrastructure and services is -0.70 per cent of GDP, which is much lower than other countries and must be substantially increased", the report states.

"This is both a challenge and an opportunity," said Auguste Tano Kouame, World Bank Country Director for India. Without timely action, climate risks such as flooding and extreme heat will become much more severe, Kouame added. The report states that public financing alone will not be sufficient to meet this demand. It calls for increased private sector investment through tools such as green bonds, blended finance, and access to international climate funds. The report recommends strengthening the financial autonomy of urban local bodies and improving their capacity to plan and implement bankable projects. The report points out that an estimated investment of 150 billion dollars over 15 years could enable 60% of existing Indian cities to implement flood mitigation measures. (With PTI inputs)
