Minister Shivanand appeals to Centre to allow sugar export
Belagavi: Sugar minister Shivanand Patil said the central govt should lift the restrictions on sugar cane export. He also appealed to govt to prioritise the welfare of sugar cane growers. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Speaking to the media after a meeting at S Nijalingappa Sugar Institute, Patil opined that the welfare of cane growers can be protected only if the central govt allows sugar export. "Many factories left the pending sugar cane bills to farmers because they were not allowed to export. The factories do not have separate capital to pay the bills," the minister said. "Tur is being grown in a significant amount in our country. However, the central govt allowed its import. Due to this, the price of tur has fallen to Rs 90 per kg. The Centre should think about what should be imported and what should be allowed to be exported. The prices of onions and tomatoes should not fall, and farmers should not throw them on the road. The Centre should think in this regard," he said. Competition with Maha sugar industries "The Karnataka govt hopes to give competition to the Maharashtra sugar industry, and in this regard, the state's sugar factories will be provided with necessary help and cooperation," said Patil. Speaking after the presentation of awards to sugar factories that performed well in various categories, the minister said sugar factories should keep the interests of farmers in mind along with their progress. "In recent days, the rise of contract farming has raised concerns as it will destroy the fertility of the soil. Factories should create awareness among farmers about this. The responsibility of managing farmers' land also lies with the factories," he said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "The central govt announced many new projects, including ethanol. The sugar factories in Karnataka should become a model for other states by utilising these facilities," he added. College bldg at Rs 20cr S Nijalingappa Sugar Institute is starting undergraduate and postgraduate courses in alcohol technology and sugar technology. The college building will be constructed at a cost of Rs 20 crore, the minister said. The institute was established with a view to the growth of the sugar industry, and necessary help and cooperation is being provided to the sugar industry. Sugar cane was cultivated in about 6 lakh hectares in the state for the past two years, and due to good rainfall, it is expected that another 1 lakh hectares will be added. Factories facing sugar cane shortage will no longer face issues.

SGCCI submit demands related to QCO
Surat: In a meeting with senior officials of the textile ministry in New Delhi, various demands related to the quality control order (QCO) were discussed by officials of the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SGCCI). The meeting was organised by the ministry, and various stakeholders were invited to discuss issues. The meeting was chaired by the commissioner of textile, M Beena. Representatives from textile machinery manufacturers and user industries from across India, the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI), SGCCI, and others were present at the meeting. SGCCI was represented by vice president Ashok Jirawala, former presidents Vijay Mewawala and Ashish Gujarati, who submitted recommendations. It was suggested to the ministry that Europe, China, and Japan are the global leaders in textile machinery. To develop the textile machinery industry in India, it is necessary to study two factories each from Europe and China, and one from Japan. The study should cover how these manufacturers determine parameters for textile machinery design, the standard operating procedures they follow for manufacturing, the kind of facilities and locations they have for making machine components, if they have intellectual property protection for their sub-assemblies and components, and whether they have in-house laboratories to test machine performance parameters. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Neues Produkt hilft tausenden Deutschen bei Gelenkschmerzen Medizinmonitor Jetzt lesen Undo SGCCI suggested forming a task force to conduct this study, which should include members from the user industry as well. Additionally, to reduce the import of textile machinery, the SGCCI submitted suggestions that 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) approval should be given to top-level global original equipment manufacturers to start manufacturing in India. The central govt should formally invite them. SGCCI further suggested a production-linked incentive scheme should be introduced specifically for textile machinery manufacturing. Research and development facilities of large Indian companies should be leveraged to design world-class textile machinery in India. Manufacturing should take place through joint ventures with Surat's textile manufacturers. GST on textile machinery should not exceed 12%. Regarding impact assessment, the SGCCI stated that any funds utilised for the development of textile machinery in India should be evaluated by comparing the value of machinery developed domestically and the subsequent reduction in imports against the funds spent.

ICICI Bank Made Offer To Acquire HDFC Ltd Before Reverse Merger: Ex-Chairman Deepak Parekh
New Delhi: Veteran banker and former chairman of HDFC Ltd, Deepak Parekh, has said that ICICI Bank had made an offer to take over mortgage lender HDFC Ltd but it was declined. HDFC Ltd, the parent entity of HDFC Bank, later merged with its banking subsidiary to create the country's biggest private sector lender. The merger became effective from July 1, 2023. With the reverse merger, the 44-year-old institution HDFC Ltd faded into memory lane. Interestingly, creation of HDFC Ltd was financially supported by erstwhile ICICI Ltd, the parent entity of ICICI Bank. During an interaction with ex-ICICI Bank MD and CEO Chanda Kochhar, released on YouTube, Parekh said, "I remember you talking to me said that ICICI started HDFC. 'Why don't you come back home?' That was your offer." However, Parekh said he declined the offer, saying "it won't be fair or proper with our name and the bank and all." Later eventual reverse merger with HDFC Bank, completed in July 2023, was driven mainly by regulatory pressure, he said, adding, "RBI supported us and they pushed us into it to some extent and they helped were no concessions, no relief, no time, nothing but they helped us to go through the process and get the approval." Describing the merger as good for the institution, he said, it is good for the country to have large banks. Indian banks must grow through acquisitions to become stronger in future, he added.
