The Wire16-07-2025
Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) [India], July 16: We create pollution day in and day out, all over the world. Scientists warn that beyond the year 2100, Mother Earth may no longer support life as created by GOD due to rampant pollution.
In a decisive move toward achieving a pollution-free India—and the world—MAK India Limited, a company solely dedicated to pollution solutions, led by visionary founder Manu Neethi Manickam (popularly known as MAK), proudly announces that it has developed and successfully field-tested a comprehensive, patented, world-first, field-proven, and Made-in-India solution to all major forms of pollution—air, water, and soil.
MAK India Limited Chairman Mr. Manickam Athappa Gounder and General Manager Mr. Ramesh Rajagopal said, "We have a patented, field-proven, world-first and scalable solution to all pollution—be it sewage, industrial effluents, solid waste, air emissions, or foul-smelling dumps. These technologies are developed in collaboration with premier Indian institutions like DRDO, CSIR, and SITRA. They are energy-efficient, require no chemicals, and operate at significantly lower OPEX, offering unmatched environmental and economic value. This fulfils Dr. Abdul Kalam's Vision 2020 to find a solution to all pollution." Key Highlights of the MAK Pollution Solution Portfolio 1. Sewage Water Pollution – 'Nip it at the Bud' Approach • Integrated technology from DRDO, CSIR, and MAK: Anaerobic Bio Digestion (ABD) Hybrid STP using hydrodynamic cavitation and ozone polishing.

PM Modi Lands In UK, Long-Awaited Free Trade Deal Expected Today: 10 Points

The free trade agreement is India's first major bilateral trade agreement with a developed economy in over a decade. A 10-point cheat sheet on the free trade agreement to be signed by India and the UK The free trade agreement between India and the UK will be signed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to London on July 24. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal will accompany the prime minister. The two countries announced the conclusion of the negotiations for the trade agreement on May 6, after three years of negotiations. The trade agreement proposes to remove taxes on the export of labour-intensive products such as leather, footwear and clothing, while making imports of whisky and cars from Britain cheaper, in an effort to double trade between the two economies to USD 120 billion by 2030. After the free trade agreement is signed by the commerce ministers from both countries, it will require approval from the British Parliament before coming into effect, as the Indian cabinet has already given its consent to the deal. Britain is the sixth-largest investor in India with investments of around $36 billion. There are 1,000 Indian companies in the country, with 1,00,000 employees, with a total of $2 billion investment. 99% of Indian products will receive duty-free access to the UK market, covering nearly all of India's current trade value. Apart from the free trade agreement, the biggest the UK has done since leaving the European Union, the two sides also sealed a double contribution convention. It provides for exemption for employers of Indian workers from paying social security contributions in the UK. India's exports to the U.K. rose by 12.6% to $14.5 billion, while imports grew by 2.3% to $8.6 billion in 2024-25. The bilateral trade between India and the U.K. increased to $21.34 billion in 2023-24 from $20.36 billion in 2022-23. From London, PM Modi will travel to the Maldives at the invitation of President Mohamed Muizzu in what is being seen as a breakthrough in the ties between the two countries following a spell of frostiness under Mr Muizzu.

Pernod Ricard India posted a consolidated revenue from operations of ₹ 25,039 crore in FY23, up from ₹ 22,741 crore in FY22. In a filing to the exchanges on Wednesday, Tilaknagar Industries said its wholly-owned subsidiary Grain & Grape Works Pvt.

Ltd, as a going concern on a slump sale basis related to the business of production, bottling, marketing and sale of alcoholic and other beverages under the Imperial Blue brands for an enterprise value of ₹ 4,150 crores, including a deferred payment of ₹ 282 crores as on date. To finance this acquisition and support its future growth plans, Tilaknagar Industries has announced its plan to raise up to ₹ 6,500 crores, comprising up to ₹ 2,500 crores in equity and equity-linked securities and up to ₹ 4,000 crores via borrowing money or in debt securities from investors. This entire fundraising process will, of course, be subject to approval from the companies' shareholders and the relevant regulatory authorities. The transaction remains subject to the approval from the Competition Commission of India, and is expected to close within the coming months.
