Pixxel-led consortium to use own funds for EO satellite constellation
Pixxel-led consortium that won the government contract to design, build, and operate India's first fully indigenous commercial Earth Observation (EO) satellite constellation bid at zero cost. This means the group will bear the entire Rs 1,200 crore investment while forgoing the government's public-private partnership (PPP) offer of up to Rs 350 crore in support.'The winning bid was zero. I cannot reveal the other bids, but this zero bid by the consortium is a very strong statement that the private sector sees immense opportunities in space,' IN-SPACe chairman Pawan Goenka confirmed to Pixxel consortium, comprising SatSure, PierSight, and Dhruva Space, on Tuesday emerged as the lowest bidder (L1), ahead of two other technically qualified groups: Astra Microwave Products Bharat Electronics , Sisir Radar, and Spectragaze Systems; the second one was GalaxEye Space, with added that without an Indian constellation, the country would end up spending heavily on foreign data, and noted that the PPP model had drawn strong interest. Asked if IN-SPACe had estimated potential savings, he said it would depend on the constellation's revenue.'The lowest revenue estimate among the bidders was Rs 1,800 crore annually. If all of that would otherwise be imported, India could save about Rs 9,000 crore (~$1 billion) over five years,' he founder Awais Ahmed said the partners are confident of recovering the investment within a few years of operations, given strong demand in India and global markets. 'Pixxel and our consortium members will pool in our own fundraised money to put into the project. At a future stage we could augment it with more investor funding or by bringing a strategic partner or debt financing as well,' he told has raised $95 million across 11 rounds so far. SatSure has raised $27.1 million in 11 rounds, Dhruva Space $16.1 million in seven rounds, and PierSight $6.6 million in two rounds, according to consortium said its primary customer will be the Indian government. The group will also leverage its global customers globally in agriculture, oil and gas, mining and maritime sectors. "We'll sell to them as well and then other friendly governments,' Ahmed first satellite will launch within two years, with the rest following over two-and-a-half years. Goenka stressed that all contractual obligations, local content norms, and penalties will still apply despite no government project will deploy 12 satellites over four years carrying optical, hyperspectral, multispectral and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors to deliver high-resolution data for agriculture, urban planning, disaster management, climate monitoring, and national security.

Oppn-ruled states cry foul as Andhra Pradesh gets semiconductor project
Synopsis The Union Cabinet's approval of a semiconductor facility in Andhra Pradesh has sparked controversy, with Opposition-ruled states alleging biased investment allocation towards NDA-governed regions. Telangana claims it offered prime land and subsidies, while Karnataka suggests investors were diverted to BJP-led states after expressing initial interest in their state. New Delhi: The Union Cabinet's nod for a semiconductor facility in Andhra Pradesh has triggered a political controversy, with Opposition-ruled states accusing the Centre of weaning away investments and directing them to NDA-ruled states. The Centre's nod to a semiconductor manufacturing facility by Advanced System in Package Technologies Private Limited with an expected investment of ₹1,500 crore in Andhra Pradesh under Indian Semiconductor Mission (ISM) has run foul of Opposition-ruled states. Telangana's industries and IT minister Sridhar Babu Duddilla had stated on X, "The Telangana government has done everything a proactive state should do, from allotment of 10 acres of prime land at Maheshwaram to all subsidies being approved... The company has been waiting only for the India Semiconductor Mission approval. Yet, in a baffling display of bias, the Union Cabinet has greenlit a similar project in Andhra where not even a single acre of land has been allotted... A state with ready infrastructure, investor commitment and a clear execution plan has been sidelined in favour of an unprepared proposal existing only on paper."Andhra government sources, however, told ET that the state offered "superior package, including better-priced land and fast-track approvals".Karnataka minister MB Patil told ET: "Several players came to Karnataka and were quite eager to invest here but when they went to Delhi they were diverted to BJP-ruled states." Earlier, in an interview to this correspondent, Kerala minister P Rajeev said that the Centre had withdrawn permission given to a GIFT city in the state.

Delhi's Big Step To Clean Up Yamuna - A Rs 917-Crore Plan Approved
New Delhi: In a significant step toward cleaning the Yamuna, the Delhi Jal Board has approved projects worth Rs 917 crore to boost the capital's sewage treatment capacity by 51.5 million gallons per day. The move is expected to sharply reduce the flow of untreated water into the river, one of the biggest contributors to its pollution. Union Home Minister Amit Shah had earlier directed the Delhi government to nearly double its sewage treatment capacity to 1,500 million gallons per day by 2028 as part of the ongoing efforts to clean the river. Major Upgrades at Yamuna Vihar and Keshopur The largest expansion will take place at Yamuna Vihar, where the capacity of the existing sewage treatment plant will rise from 25 MGD to 40 MGD. Alongside this, a new 15 MGD plant will be built on the site. At Keshopur, the current 12 MGD facility will be upgraded to 18 MGD. South Delhi Plants to Get a Boost Five sewage plants in South Delhi will also see capacity upgrades under the new plan, further strengthening the city's wastewater management network. Long-Term Operations & Maintenance Each project will include operations and maintenance for 11-12 years, ensuring sustained efficiency and compliance with environmental norms. A Cleaner Yamuna in Sight? Officials say the expanded infrastructure will significantly cut the volume of untreated sewage entering the Yamuna, a problem that has plagued the river for decades. Environmental experts have welcomed the move, noting that sustained investment in sewage treatment is critical to reviving the Yamuna's ecosystem and improving water quality for communities living along its banks. Cleaning the Yamuna has long been one of the BJP-led Delhi government's big promises, framed as both an environmental necessity and a public health goal. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Irrigation and Flood Control Minister Parvesh Verma have repeatedly said the river's revival will be a key test of their term in office.
