Citing incomplete information, scientists urge APPCB to defer public hearing for TGV SRAAC expansion unit
Scientists for People, a non-profit organisation based out of Hyderabad, has expressed serious concern over the alleged omissions and violations in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report submitted by TGV SRAAC Limited for its proposed expansion of chlorine chemicals, PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), commonly known as Teflon) and chloromethanes manufacturing units in Gondiparla of Kurnool district. A group of scientists wrote a letter to A.P. Pollution Control Board Chairman P. Krishnaiah, Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) Secretary Tanmay Kumar and Kurnool District Collector P. Ranjit Basha on Monday, requesting that the public hearing for the proposed expansion be rescheduled, because the EIA report had reportedly not provided comprehensive details about various greenhouse gas emissions. The EIA report, the organisation said, did not mention information regarding the alleged use and disposal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including CCl₄ and Trifluoroethane (R23), and inadequately assessed the risks associated with potential toxic release of chemicals such as chlorine. ''The report does not mention whether Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), a Persistent Organic Pollutant (POP) listed under the Stockholm Convention, will be utilised in the proposed PTFE manufacturing process,'' the scientists wrote in the letter. They pointed out that PFOA was prohibited across the world due to its inherent toxicity, environmental persistence, and bioaccumulative properties. ''At a time when the National Green Tribunal is speaking about the widespread contamination of Indian water bodies by PFAS, including PFOA, the proposed PTFE unit in Kurnool district presents a risk of exacerbating the ongoing environmental crisis if PFOA or any other PFAS is used in their production process as a surfactant,'' the scientists said. The manufacturing of PTFE would result in the emission of R23 (HFC-23), a potent greenhouse gas with an exceptionally high Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 14,800 times that of CO₂. The report did not mention how the unit would address the issue of potential R23 emissions, they said, requesting that a moratorium be imposed on granting of environmental clearance to the unit until comprehensive details were provided.

Aircraft Wiring Harness Market is Forecasted to Reach US$ 1.8 Billion in 2028, Says Stratview Research
Detroit, Feb. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global aircraft wiring harness market is projected to witness a growth rate of 9.2% annually from 2023 to 2028, with an anticipated size of US$ 1.8 billion by 2028, according to an analysis by Stratview Research. Stratview Research, a global market research firm, has launched a report on the global aircraft wiring harness market, which provides a comprehensive outlook of the global and regional industry forecast, current & emerging trends, segment analysis, and competitive landscape. Click here to get a free sample of the report: Report Highlights Market Size in 2028 (billion US$) 1.8 Growth (CAGR) 9.2% during 2023-2028 Forecast Period 2023-2028 Trend Period 2017-2021 Base Year 2022 Number of Segments Covered 7 Number of Tables & Graphs 100+ Country-Level Market Assessment 20 Segment Insights on the Aircraft Wiring Harness Market The global aircraft wiring harness market is segmented based on platform type, application type, insulation material type, purpose type, product type, end-user type, and region. Based on platform type - The aircraft wiring harness market is segmented into commercial aircraft, regional aircraft, general aviation, military aircraft, and helicopters. Commercial aircraft is expected to remain the largest and fastest-growing platform type in the market during the forecast period, driven by a host of factors including snowballing commercial aircraft deliveries, the introduction of fuel-efficient commercial aircraft, and a growing aircraft fleet size. Based on the application type - The market is segmented into avionics, interiors, propulsion systems, airframes, and others. The interior application held the dominant share of the market in 2022 and is also expected to experience the highest growth during the forecast period. The increasing focus of airliners on improving the passenger travel experience and the modernization of existing fleets with new IFE systems are the major factors driving the growth of the interior segment. Based on the insulation material type - The market is segmented as XL ETFE (Cross-Linked Extruded Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene), TKT (Teflon-Kapton-Teflon), PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), PI (Polyimide), and others. PTFE is expected to remain the most preferred insulation material type in the market, driven by its exceptional properties, such as extreme temperature resistance (-200°C to 300°C), chemical inertness, low-dielectric constant, low coefficient of friction, and excellent FST properties. Based on end-user type - The aircraft wiring harness market is segmented into OE and aftermarket based on the end-user type. OE is estimated to remain the sole source of demand for wiring harnesses in the foreseeable future. The aftermarket holds a negligible share of the market. Wires & cables (or harnesses) do not need to be replaced because their life span is almost the same as the aircraft's life. To know the most attractive segments, click here for a free sample of the report: Which Region Shows the Most Promising Growth Forecast and Opportunity? The analysis suggests that North America is expected to remain the largest market for aircraft wiring harnesses during the forecast period. This growth outlook is primarily attributed to the following: The region is dominated by the USA, owing to the presence of major aircraft OEMs, wiring harness suppliers, airlines, and MRO companies. Likewise, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, driven by the assembly plants of Boeing and Airbus in China, increasing procurement of military aircraft, rising aircraft fleet size, and the upcoming indigenous aircraft program C919. China, Japan, and India are the growth engines of the region's market. Aircraft Wiring Harness Market Drivers Some of the key drivers listed in the report are given below. An expected increase in the production rate of key programs (A320neo, B737 Max, A220, B787, and A350XWB). The introduction of new aircraft programs (C919, MC-21, B777x, etc.). The increasing investments in electrical aircraft and the increasing use of wires & cables in modern aircraft. Top Companies in the Aircraft Wiring Harness Market? The market is highly concentrated, with the presence of some regional and global players. Most of the major players compete in some of the governing factors, including price, product offerings, regional presence, etc. Stratview Research has identified the following companies as the top market players.
