The Centre has allocated Rs 1,000 crore for the scheme across the country. Being implemented by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), the scheme aims to accelerate the adoption of advanced energy-efficient technologies in MSMEs. BEE has called upon all state govts to act swiftly and ensure the successful implementation of ADEETIE, urging engagement with state-designated agencies (SDAs) to inform stakeholders, identify suitable clusters, and assist MSMEs in transitioning to new technologies.

Flagging a downturn: Future tense for Hubballi's khadi tricolour makers
Hubballi: Amendment to the National Flag Code, that allows citizens to hoist flags made of polyester and other materials throughout the year, has impacted the livelihood of workers involved in the making of khadi national flags at the production centre in Bengeri in Hubballi, under Karnataka Khadi Gramaodyog Samyukta Sangha (KKGSS). The centre, which previously held the exclusive rights to produce khadi flags, witnessed a sharp decline in orders, forcing workers, mostly skilled in traditional khadi weaving, to move to other tasks. An eerie silence hangs over the facility that used to typically produce thousands of flags annually, especially before Independence Day celebrations. The KKGSS management has diversified its production line to include other khadi products to sustain operations. This change has not only impacted direct employees, but also the entire supply chain, including raw material suppliers and local traders. Many traditional artisans who specialised in khadi flag-making for decades are suddenly being forced to learn new skills as the centre has started focusing on producing khadi bags, clothing, furnishings, and other traditional items. Apart from the obvious financial implications, the changed circumstances come with an emotional disconnect as well. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Glasgow: If You Were Born Between 1940-1975 You Could Be Eligible For This Life Cover Reassured Get Quote Undo While polyester flags are cheaper and more readily available, khadi flags represent a connection to India's freedom struggle and the self-reliance movement. Annapurna Doddamani, the manager at KKGSS national flag production centre, said the centre, with its 25 artisans, halted flag production in March-April this year due to diminished demand. To keep the artisans employed, they have moved to producing khadi bags. The artisans now make 10-15 zippered bags daily, earning only around Rs 25 per bag. Shivanand Mathapati, the KKGSS secretary, reported that the centre currently holds a flag inventory worth more than Rs 2 crore. The organisation sought amendments to the modified National Flag Code during the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' celebration, marking 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav'. Even then, the flag production unit continues to struggle. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !

Alignment concerns delay Vizhinjam-Navaikulam outer ring road project
Thiruvananthapuram: The outer ring road project from Vizhinjam to Navaikulam in the state capital is set to be delayed. Union road transport minister stated in Parliament that the current alignment has serious design flaws and was now under review. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In response to a question in Lok Sabha raised by Attingal MP Adoor Prakash, Gadkari confirmed that the initial alignment, determined by the state feasibility study, would result in extensive hill cutting and major ecological damage. As a result, the alignment was being re-examined in coordination with the state govt to reduce environmental impact. Originally pitched at 62.7km with an estimated construction cost of Rs 8,000 crore, the project is to be built and managed by National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), under Bharatmala Pariyojana scheme. Affected landowners, many of whom surrendered their land documents to the revenue department over two years ago, have been left in limbo, waiting for compensation. Even after project approval, compensation is only due once final alignment and clearances are endorsed by the competent authority, a move the MP calls 'a grave injustice'. Compensation delays stem partly from stalled environmental clearance: the southern sector (Vizhinjam to Thekkada) received clearance in 2023, but the northern section (Thekkada to Navaikulam) remains legally blocked after a May 16, 2025, Supreme Court ruling annulled post-facto green clearance provisions. The State Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) term also lapsed in March and the authority has shifted to the central ministry, further delaying approvals. Meanwhile, land acquisition costs have doubled, from an initial Rs 1,800 crore to over Rs 3,800 crore, and coverage includes 314 hectares across 24 villages. Valuations are set to expire in Aug, raising urgency, since delayed payment triggers 12% annual interest under the Compensation Act. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A high-level meeting chaired by chief minister's principal secretary K M Abraham earlier this month instructed NHAI to finalise land acquisition and disburse compensation within two months. Despite Rs 700 crore transferred to NHAI in Jan, no payments have been made. Landowners action council, represented by S Chandramohan Nair, threatened a hunger strike if disbursement doesn't begin soon. Adoor Prakash insisted that the state must take urgent steps to realise the project and ensure compensation was delivered without further delay. Earlier, PWD minister P A Mohamed Riyas informed the state that the final approval for the project would be granted by the end of July.
