Andhra Pradesh Agricultural Minister Shri Kakani Govardhan Reddy, Launches 3F Oil Palm’s New Hybrid Varieties of Saplings; Initiates Oil Palm Planting Season in AP for the year 2022-23

  • The first of its kind new varieties are launched aimed to help farmers with maximum yields with minimum maintenance hassles. They will be made available for farmers for the planting season of 2022-2023    

Andhra Pradesh, August 4, 2022: 3F Oil Palm Pvt. Ltd, a leading oil palm company in India, today announced the launch of various unique high-yielding varieties, some of which are first of its kind in India.

Smt.Taneti Vanita – Hon’ble Home Minister of AP; Dr. K.Madhavi Latha IAS, Collector and District magistrate East Godavari district; Shri Kotagiri Sridhar – MP Eluru, Shri. Margani Bharat – MP Rajahmundry; Shri Talari Venkatrao – Gopalapuram MLA; Dr. Ravi Kumar Mathur, ICAR-Indian Institute of Oil Palm Research; AP Oil Fed MD- Mr. Chavala Babu Rao; Dr. S Sreedhar, DOH AP graced the occasion.

Among the releases, CALIX Q6 (SIME DARBY, Malaysia) is the first genetically tested seed produced in the Oil Palm market by the company Sime Darby in Malaysia. The farmers are expected to immensely benefit from this variety due to the following reasons: commencement of yielding 24 months after planting, reduction of maintenance costs, significantly higher FFB yields, enhancement of the commercial age of the garden to 30 years, and ease of harvesting due to slow and medium vertical growth of plants.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Sanjay Goenka, CEO and MD, 3F Oil Palm Limited, said, “We always aim to constantly deploy the best products and services that help with our motto “Maximizing yields for our farmers with minimum maintenance hassles”. Through this initiative, we will be investing about Rs 30 cr and providing 10 lakh plants each year to the farmers of Andhra Pradesh, thereby benefitting about 4000 farming families each year. The hybrid variants launched will enhance productivity by about 20-30%, thereby helping increase farmer income significantly.”

Shri Kakani Govardhan Reddy, Agricultural Minister of Andhra Pradesh Government said “Every farmer wishes that he reaps good yields from what he sows. In the present times oil palm’s value in being yielding cannot be denied. To achieve the Fair price to be fixed, whenever this is not the case, the Government should intervene and buy the yield to save the farmers from any losses. It has been observed that for Rs. 2000 crores of yields Rs.4000 crores of losses are there. This situation must be overcome. Let alone paddy, when it comes to turmeric, bajra, maize produce too, since the past few years the government has been intervening and saving the farmers. There is a need to foster R&D in agriculture to help the farmers. Farmers need better income, with good quality produce while agricultural companies must also reap the benefits. It must be a two-way profit. Therefore, experts from all over the world are being invited and consulted. Agriculture can be a fluctuated business. It is difficult to run a palm oil business. Our CM has standardized the rates. Today oil palm farmers are getting self-sustained because of this.

He also added, “Through agri-companies farmers can be well employed. Farmers’ welfare is the government’s primary motive. Today we are launching directives and plans with the intention of removing all obstacles for the farmers and bring profits going forward. I am very happy to come here to launch the new variant imported by 3F oil palm. My special thanks to Mr. Sanjay Goenka, 3F Oil Palm MD, for supporting local oil palm farmers and helping strengthen them economically.”

Ganesh Super TMT plans to expand its production capacity to 25000 MT in Muzaffarpur

Aug 4, 2022 by Neel Achary 0 Comments

Muzaffarpur, August 2022: Bihar has always relied on agriculture as its major source of employment and revenue. 80% of the population is employed in agricultural production which is much higher than the national average. It is the fourth largest producer of vegetables and the eighth largest producer of fruits in India. The State’s GSDP at current prices is expected to be Rs. 7.45 trillion (US$ 97.39 billion) in 2022-23. However, there is still a lot of scope for large-scale industrial initiatives. The Government of Bihar has been taking several initiatives to bring industrialization to the state. From hosting investor summits to partnering with banks to boost the MSME sector and developing infrastructure in the State in terms of roadways, bridges, and building Bihar’s first intermodal inland waterways cargo terminal – the Government has been taking steps in the right direction to take Bihar’s industrial landscape to the next step. In light of these developments, Ganesh Super TMT, the state’s only listed TMT enterprise, has planned an expansion of its production capacity to 25000 MT. The new facility will be located in the Muzaffarpur district.

Speaking on the company’s expansion plan, Shri Ashok Kumar Bajoria, Managing Director, Ganesh Foundry and Casting Limited said, “Ganesh TMT has been contributing to the growth of Bihar for 35 years. Being one of the pioneering TMT companies of the State, we want to support the Government’s efforts of bringing in industrial growth in the State. Our production capacity expansion will help us meet rising demands from our patrons. This will also help create employment. Being equal stakeholders in the development of Bihar, Ganesh TMT intends to contribute effectively towards the State’s socio-economic welfare.“

The growing demand for steel all over the world is anticipated to boost the TMT steel bar market by 2028. his is poised to reach USD 23.58 billion by the year 2028, growing at a CAGR of 9.5%. Steel demand in India might reach 170 MTPA by 2024-25, and 300 MTPA by 2030. India is presently the world’s second-largest steel manufacturer. The Union Steel Ministry predicts that India’s steel output would double in the next decade, rising from 120 million tonnes to 240 million tonnes. The Government has waived customs duty on the import of some raw materials used by the steel industry, a move which will lower the cost for the domestic industry and reduce the prices. Also, to increase domestic availability, the duty on exports of iron ore has been hiked up to 50 percent, and a few steel intermediaries to 15 percent, according to a notification. This has given the industry a much-needed boost, thereby, encouraging steel and TMT companies to expand their operations.

Ganesh Super TMT bars are distinguished by their high tensile strength. Due to their increased flexibility and improved characteristics, the TMT bars provide a secure grasp that can withstand severe calamity and provide protection. Ganesh Super is the ideal combination of flexibility and strength, outperforming all competitors in terms of quality. The greatest degree of quality is maintained in the products and services owing to meticulous attention to detail at every stage of the manufacturing or delivery process.

Intangles launches Inline Driving Scorecard: A conducive new feature to improve driving behaviour

Aug 4, 2022 by Neel Achary 0 Comments

Pune, 04  August 2022: On a mission to transform how operators in the mobility industry conduct business by leveraging its proprietary Machine Learning algorithms, Intangles is a leading solutions provider for the mobility industry that has built the largest repository of repair strategies backed by revolutionary Digital Twin Technology. The company has launched a new Inline Driving Scorecard feature that enables fleet operators to monitor and analyze erroneous driving practices like idling, harsh acceleration, free running, hard breaking and overspeeding.

In its bid to promote fuel efficiency and appropriate driving behaviour, Intangle’s latest feature enables operators to promote and incentivize good driving behaviour using the Scorecards. The feature is a one-stop-destination to gather precise and apt insights into the efficiency of drivers. The platform displays scores based on various aspects of driving behaviour and is, therefore, a reliable tool that provides actionable insights. It provides accurate feedback on gear utilization trends, idling instances and other erroneous driving practices, thereby improving fuel efficiency and overall health of the vehicle. Fleet operators have witnessed an impressive 12-15% improvement in mileage and fuel economy on utilizing the feature.

This innovative feature comes in addition to Intangles’ plethora of existing vehicle monitoring features. They use historic and real-time data to deliver alerts of possible failures, which leads to a significant reduction in the on-road break-down of vehicles, thereby increasing operational hours and lowering maintenance/repair costs. Averting an imminent break-down saves unplanned costs towards towing, making alternate arrangements for goods or passengers and post-failure repairs and replacements which may prove costly. With Intangles, fleet owners have all the necessary information related to fault codes that may arise in their vehicles, whether minor, major or critical ones, at their fingertips along with repair strategies depending on the severity. The Vehicle Monitoring feature also helps fleet operators conduct preventive and proactive maintenance to reduce vehicle downtime.

This solution also helps in addressing the issue of fuel pilferage. Fuel theft has been a major cause of concern among fleet operators and vehicle owners for a long time. There have been quite a few fuel-tracking devices in the past, however, none were accurate and efficient enough to provide comprehensive insights on the quantity of fuel theft, with the exact location and time to support the claim, in turn, helping compute the accurate cost per km of fuel consumed.

Around 90% of all road accidents occur due to driving errors. In addition to the loss of lives and goods, accidents also significantly, directly or indirectly, impact costs such as repair costs, increase in insurance premiums, and costs incurred due to vehicle downtime. Intangles’ driving behaviour monitoring feature allows operators to check the increasing number and keep track of the driving behaviour along with personalized training to each driver on a regular basis. This comprehensive solution can successfully track more than 20 exceptions in driver behaviour like overspeeding, idling, hard braking, free running, etc which helps generate actionable insights.

Speaking on the occasion, Neil Unadkat, CTO of Intangles said, “We are well on our way to revolutionizing the vehicle monitoring and safety space through our newest proprietary solutions. The technology has been specifically designed to keep fleet owners a step ahead by preventing possible breakdowns. By taking into account the data emanated from over 4 Billion sensory data points, our solution can extend over 20 exceptions in driver behaviour. The Scorecard factors in geospatial intelligence to provide comprehensive insights. As our solution gets gradually adopted by fleet owners across the country, we can safely assume that vehicle safety and driver monitoring will never be the same again.”

He further added,

“We have over 50% of the private inter-city bus market live on our platform being constantly tracked in real-time on various operational parameters. We continue to deliver trailblazing solutions to the bus industry, tracking 25 Million km. and 6 Million litres of fuel consumption on a monthly basis. Through our state-of-the-art physics-informed ML-driven algorithms, we enable our customers to save a whopping ₹7.2 Million by preventing idling and ₹50 Million by averting breakdowns every month. Our fleet operators have witnessed a reduction of as much as 12% in breakdowns through alerts raised for almost 19% of the buses in their fleet.”

Intangles’ solutions are aimed at deriving easily discernible, actionable insights from complex telemetry data streams, targeted at fulfilling the KPIs of the everyday fleet manager. This envelopes highly accurate performance statistics (fuel consumption, distance, run hours), predictive alerts for failure with the highest levels of precision, diagnostics alerts with elaborate metadata (causes, repair strategies) and comprehensive reports on schedules and pilferages.

As a hardcore cricket fan, this is everything we’d always aspired for. For the first time in the history of international cricket, fans like you and I have the opportunity to get our voices heard.
