Meet man who borrowed Rs 10,000 from his wife to build a business, and now his net worth stands at Rs 38,250 crore

NR Narayan Murthy, the co-founder of Infosys Technologies, is today widely recognized as one of the leading entrepreneurs. He comes from a middle-class family and grew up in not-so-favorable conditions, but that didn't stop him from achieving success. Starting off his early career as a Research Associate and then a Chief Systems Programmer at IIM, Ahmedabad, he built Softronics, his first company. How did he establish Infosys Technologies in 1981? He borrowed Rs. 10,000 from his wife, Sudhar Murthy! Join us as we unfold NR Narayan Murthy's success story. NR Narayan Murthy's Success Story: How He Built Infosys with Rs. 10K Loan from Wife In 1978, the Indian billionaire businessman got married to Sudha Murthy, the love of his life. When NR Narayan Murthy expressed his desire to start another IT company, she argued that they both already had well-paying jobs. Despite the failure of Softronics, she provided Rs 10,000 as seed capital to her husband. Surprisingly, Sudha Murthy kept only Rs. 250 from savings, knowing the risks involved. However, Mr. Murthy assured her that he wouldn't proceed without her approval. Sudha Murthy 's life drastically changed when her husband established Infosys, now the global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting. In one of the interviews, she revealed that building the company was no joke. It involved a lot of sacrifices. Mr. Murthy opened plenty of vacancies for IT graduates with the company's annual earnings of Rs 21,539 crore. In just four years, the company transformed into a tech giant and employed over 2 lakh people. In March 1999, it became the first India-registered company to be listed on an American stock exchange. Padma Shri and Padma Vibhushan Awardee, N.R Narayana Murthy, became the pioneer of the IT world and made significant contributions to the Indian economy. He designed and implemented the Global Delivery Model and coined technical words like off-shoring, near-shoring, and no-shoring. Undoubtedly, Murthy was recognised as the "father of the IT world.' In 2014, Murthy retired from his position as Executive Chairman and now acts as the chairman emeritus. Throughout the years, Sudha Murthy, his wife, stood like a rock of support. Her donation of Rs. 10,000 to N.R Narayan Murthy not only led to the establishment of Infosys but also India's economic growth. His net worth today is USD 4.6 billion, as per Forbes, and stands at 802nd position in the list of the World's richest men.

Transmission body seeks flexible ISTS waiver phase-out for RE sector

As India advances towards its ambitious target of 500 GW renewable energy (RE) capacity by 2030, the Electric Power Transmission Association (EPTA), the apex body for transmission companies, has urged the government to adopt a more flexible approach to the planned withdrawal of the Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) waiver. It has also suggested that the government explore alternative viable options to offer critical relief to renewable energy developers. Since its introduction in 2016, the ISTS waiver—critical to India's green energy transition—has been extended only once and is now slated for phased withdrawal starting July 1, 2025. EPTA has proposed a milestone-based eligibility framework that would allow projects with significant progress, but delayed due to external challenges, to continue availing themselves of the ISTS waiver, G P Upadhyaya, director general of the association, told reporters on Monday. According to EPTA, such projects should be granted a few more months to complete construction so they may qualify under the current waiver regime. Alternatively, the association recommended a more gradual phase-out of the waiver, beginning with a 10 per cent withdrawal every year instead of the proposed 25 per cent. The industry believes that a 25 per cent annual withdrawal would disrupt ongoing projects, jeopardise investments and undermine cost competitiveness, especially for commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers who already pay among the highest electricity tariffs globally. 'Such a calibrated approach would significantly ease the impact of the waiver's withdrawal on the cost of green power, thereby allowing RE power to stay competitive and attract more investments in this key sector,' Upadhyaya said. 'We are not seeking a blanket extension. We are only proposing that the projects which have achieved key development milestones—such as securing financial closure, acquiring at least 50 per cent of required land, and placing key equipment orders—should be granted a six-to-nine-month window to avail themselves of the ISTS waiver benefits,' he added. This request aligns with Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar's announcement at a press conference earlier this month extending the ISTS waiver on pumped hydro and battery storage projects till June 2028 from the earlier deadline of this June. Among other key issues in the transmission sector, EPTA stressed the critical need to scale up domestic manufacturing of 765 kV HVDC equipment under the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme, given that European imports are currently fully booked and expensive, while restrictions on Chinese imports continue. The association also highlighted the planned offshore transmission line from the Andaman Islands to Paradip in Odisha under the One Sun, One World, One Grid initiative. This project will help shift power in the islands from fossil fuel-based sources to green energy from the mainland. EPTA further noted India's growing grid strength and its potential for future cross-border connections, including possible links from Andaman to Singapore and from Gujarat to the UAE.

GAIL also said it has pushed back the completion scheme of its 1,702 km Mumbai-Nagpur-Jharsuguda pipeline project from June 30, 2025 to September 30, 2025. Live Events This would require additional investment of Rs 411.12 crore, it said.

The 693-km Mumbai-Nagpur section of the pipeline is mechanically complete except for a 1 km stretch. The 692-km Nagpur-Jharsuguda pipeline is 98 per cent mechanically completed.

The 317-km Nagpur-Jabalpur pipeline is 97 per cent mechanically completed. "The pipeline laying work is affected due to delay in acquisition of right of use (RoU), permanent land parcels for valve stations and local resistance." "The entire Mumbai-Nagpur-Jharsuguda pipeline is expected to be completed progressively by September 2025," GAIL said. GAIL said it has also revised the schedule for the 744-km Srikakulam-Angul pipeline project from June 2025 to December 2025. "Entire mainline of 422 km has been mechanically completed and commissioning has been started. Out of 322 km (spur lines), lowering of 252 km has been completed. Further, work on the pipeline was affected due to delay in obtaining forest permission and till date, working permission of 45 km has been received out of total required permission of 56 km," it added.
