Ensure uninterrupted power supply: GB Nagar DM to discom
Gautam Budh Nagar district magistrate Medha Roopam on Saturday directed officials of the power discom to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply across urban and rural areas, particularly during the ongoing monsoon season. She also asked them to expedite repair of faulty lines and replace ageing wires to prevent outages. Gautam Budh Nagar district magistrate Medha Roopam. 'The monsoon season poses specific risks for power infrastructure. Any repair or replacement work must be completed on priority. Officials must ensure that both urban and rural residents don't face disruptions,' she said. The district administration also flagged delays in transformer repairs and stressed the need for swift redressal of consumer complaints. 'Public inconvenience due to power outages must be minimised. Delays in resolving complaints are not acceptable,' the DM said. Discom officials said maintenance teams have already been deployed and key vulnerable lines and transformers are being identified. 'We have been taking steps to strengthen weak points in the network. SCADA work under the RDSS project is progressing, and we are also replacing poles and cables in several localities,' said Vivek Kumar, superintending engineer of Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited, Noida. The meeting comes days after Uttar Pradesh power minister A K Sharma, in a separate review session, instructed authorities to ensure uninterrupted power supply in Noida. He also reviewed the progress of key infrastructure upgrades under various state and central schemes. Earlier this year, the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) approved a ₹97 crore allocation for Gautam Buddh Nagar for the 2025–26 financial year to bolster electricity infrastructure across the district. Additionally, under the ₹1,313 crore Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) of the central government, engineering firm L&T has been commissioned for SCADA-related work in Noida. Another implementing agency for the remaining components of the scheme is expected to be finalised this month. Officials said the RDSS will focus on building new substations and reinforcing existing distribution lines, while parallel projects will tackle the replacement of ageing transformers, poles, and overhead cables, particularly in Noida's older sectors and new developing zones where infrastructure has not kept pace with rapid urbanisation.

PE-VC investments decline by 10% YoY
Chennai: Private Equity - Venture Capital (PE-VC) investments recorded a 10% decrease at $16.8 billion between January and July of the current calendar year (CY2025) against $18.7 billion in the same seven-month period last year. The investments as on July 31, 2025, exclude those from the real estate sector. Industry experts attribute the dip in investments to global factors such as geopolitical tensions and market uncertainty. In July this year, PE-VC investments dropped by 11.5% at $1.8 billion when compared with $2 billion during the corresponding July of CY2024, data released by research firm Venture Intelligence on Thursday showed. Of this, five major deals collectively accounted for more than $1 billion including Partners Group to acquire a majority stake in Infinity Fincorp for Rs 1,950 crore and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) is set to invest $200 million for a 3% stake in the Indian medical device company Meril. "A key highlight of July's PE investments are the three large buyouts/control transactions of over $200 million each that were announced in the month such as Theobroma, VIP Industries and Infinity Fincorp Solutions.

You Can Also Check: Chennai AQI | Weather in Chennai | Bank Holidays in Chennai | Public Holidays in Chennai While the PE-VC investments fell under $2 billion only once in Jan-July last year, the current year witnessed five out of the seven months not touching the $2 billion mark. "Given how volatile the macro environment has been in 2025, the only way to view private investment markets in India thus far in the year is to view it as a 'glass that is half full'. Markets - including the IPO markets, for the right companies - have been quite resilient. With Trump Tariffs now having directly targeted India, we will have to wait and watch out how the impact plays out," he said. Vivek Kumar, co-founder and CEO, VG Angels — an early age angel investment network — observes that the slowdown was more a short-term reset than a long-term shift. "Investors are simply being more cautious right now. Global factors like ongoing geopolitical tensions, and general market uncertainty have made them take a pause and reassess," he added.
