@ramyakannan One should not be relying on the RO membrane to remove the microbes, the system should have a post RO UV. UV should be the disinfection source.

Just because you have installed RO at home doesn’t mean your water is safe to drink. A recent study in Chennai shows microbes in home RO samples. Periodic maintenance and changing filter are key to fully utilise RO tech

@thekaipullai In any other city in the world, who ever came up with this would be fired. But here we are tolerating this nonsense for close to 3 years.

Any warmth, optimism and positivity that you have towards Chennai evaporates the moment you try catching a cab after stepping out of the airport Because unlike most cities where you get out, open an app, book a cab and go, in Chennai you have to Haul your luggage in the enervating heat to an overcrowded buggy stand. Then wait for an buggy which takes an eternity to arrive. Into which you are then stuffed like a sardine in a can and driven for 20 mins to a god forsaken "mall" Where you again have to compete with a batallion of tired and hungry travellers and their luggage to get onto an elevator Which will take you 3 floors up to a taxi stand where you hope there is cab available Which will then drive you down those very three floors to take you into the city I seriously cannot comprehend how the supposedly knowledgeable Chennai people messed up something as simple as an Airport cab pick up All of Chennai's aspirations to be a megapolis dies in that gap between the airport arrival and that cab pickup station

@chartbent Please give us E0 as well. I have a few farm equipment that struggles with anything that is not 100% petrol :(

E 20 should be provided at pumps at present price E 30 at lower price Let the consumer choose.

@jcrajan00 P and K are pretty much 100% imported, this is the case the world over. The micro nutrients are the bigger worry. Mn,Mo and B. Law of the Minimum is the limiting factor.

Something nobody's connecting: India's fertilizer production hit 62.37 lakh tonnes in just Mar-Apr 2026 while West Asia is in full crisis mode. Imports were only 15.39 lakh tonnes. Five years ago we'd have been panicking. This time the plants kept running. Quiet wins don't trend. But domestic urea capacity going from deficit to near self-sufficiency might be the most underrated industrial story of the decade.

@Portfolio_Bull Fssai and customs were sleeping. How did food products get imported without a fssai number on them? @SwiggyCares @blinkitcares, you sell a lot of imported soft drinks on your platforms. Please validate the legitimacy of the importers before you sell them.

54-year-old Atal Jaiswal & his 6 friends built a fake “imported food” business in India. They imported expired or near-expiry products from America & Dubai: • Oreo biscuits
• Coca-Cola bottles
• Foreign chocolates Then they set up a factory in Delhi where: • Expiry dates were removed using chemicals
• New barcodes & MRP stickers were printed
• Products were repacked as “premium imported goods” And sold online on platforms like Amazon. TOTAL EARNING = ₹6-10 Crore Business was booming… Until Crime Branch raided the factory. What they found • 6,000 KG chocolates & biscuits
• 14,000 litres cold drinks
• Thousands of kilos of sauces, mayonnaise & milk powder Cheap expired food.
Sold as luxury imports. Agencies Sleeping 🤐

@RajalingamVivek This is very bad business practice . Never air your issues in public. It will blowup.

He vented out on me and shouted loudly. It seems like, I helped him to vent out his frustration. I am immune now. Sales is hard and it makes you a thick skin guy. If he comes back to ziti, will I onboard. Definitely yes but at higher cost 😎

@maahirpanchal Friction stir welding :)

Guess this manufacturing process! [my prof & then HOD had a lot of research in this field]

@UpdatesChennai Is the master plan out? It was supposed to come out during Pongal 2026

🚨Chennai's third master plan to focus on higher FSI along transit corridors, integrated mobility, water metro, flood resilience, helipads etc... #Chennai #MasterPlanning 🏗️🌇

@rajoshighosh The raw mango with salt & chilli powder in Chennai is usually Totapuri.

@parim of this list, I have only tried Banganapalle! and only heard of imam pasand - never of the others :/ though had the raw salt & chilli powder ones in the streets of chennai - not sure what variety they use for those.

The whole reason we're doing the MangoMaxxing event next week 😅 What's your fav mango variety? I'll go first: Himsagar.

@soorajchandran_ Too much trauma from cleaning the entire kitchen from the lid flying off

Do you all still keep hands on top of the mixie jar even though it's not necessary?

@Normal_2610 The other urea makers can make techinical grade urea right? It’s just the non neem coated urea.

GNFC is currently the sole Indian manufacturer of technical-grade urea (TGU) used in making Adblue (DEF - Diesel Exhaust Fluid). Government in active discussions to increase output to address automotive industry demand. This is one of the most under-appreciated monopoly stories in the listed Indian universe. Every BS6 diesel vehicle in India - trucks, buses, tractors with newer engines, large SUVs - needs Diesel Exhaust Fluid to operate. DEF is 32.5% high-purity urea + 67.5% deionised water. Without DEF, the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system shuts down and the vehicle won't run. India needs 6 lakh tonnes/year of technical-grade urea, domestic capacity is only 1.5 lakh tonnes (75% gap), the rest came from Dubai and Egypt - which is exactly where the West Asia / Hormuz disruption has now cut shipping routes. GNFC is the sole domestic producer of TGU. GSFC, its parent (which holds 19.80% of GNFC), has 35 tonnes/day capacity but only when its melamine plants are shut for maintenance - a few weeks a year. So practical India capacity rests with GNFC alone. With imports disrupted, automakers (via SIAM lobby) are pressuring the government to push GNFC to expand TGU output. government is now considering bolstering domestic production. The pricing power here is structurally underestimated. Technical-grade urea sells at a substantial premium to fertiliser-grade urea (which is subsidised and price-controlled). TGU is industrial, premium-priced, sold to OEM-grade DEF manufacturers. Any expansion GNFC announces converts directly into high-margin revenue. Plus the broader portfolio - TDI (Toluene di-isocyanate), methanol, acetic acid, formic acid, weed-killer formulations - all of which are commodity chemicals with cyclical pricing. The contrast with fertiliser-grade urea is important. Of India's 10 million tonnes/year urea gap, diverting any to industrial use is a balancing act because agriculture employs 40-50% of the workforce. The government wants TGU expansion but won't sacrifice farm supply. So new capacity is the only way out and that's GNFC window. this is why this Q4 result was better, next one perhaps will be more better than this but their is risk too plus govt. intervention possible too what yu seeing today was decided in march ... from Market Outlook normalguy.co.in/post/market-ou…

@Madan_Chikna It’s objectively not a big suv. 4.3m car will never feel like a 4.7m car

Tata Sierra Diesel is straight-up a mileage beast. More torque, killer highway performance, smooth overtakes & lower fuel bills. Big SUV energy without burning cash, total long-drive flex.

@RamTeluguTrader 12 units a day seem to be less. Please remove the clothes hanger on the west side. I think it’s throwing shade on to your panels during the afternoon.

3KW solar installation going on ☀️⚡ Total Cost: ₹2L Govt Subsidy: ₹78K Net Cost: ~₹1.22L A 3KW solar system ideally generates around 12 units/day In peak summer, generation can even touch 15 units/day depending on sunlight and weather conditions On an average around 12 units/day🌞

@Narayani07 Isn’t this also a failure of the interview process

My team closed a SAP role for an IT services company a couple of months ago, after weeks of sourcing & searching. The candidate looked flawless on paper. Strong communication. Industry experience. Even claimed to be doing the exact same role at previous org. Interviews went smoothly. Offer rolled out fast. BGV Cleared. But within a short time after joining, things started falling apart. And today, the candidate was terminated on grounds of faking experience!☹️ Reviews had uncovered that most of the experience was invented. The unbelievable part? The person had genuinely worked at that company. Just nowhere near the project mentioned on the resume. It's still amazing that they did so well in the interview that they cleared it. If Fake-It-Till-You-Make-It had a face, this hire would be it. A bizarre example of a fake candidate I’ve experienced in hiring.

Koi jaanta hai yeh kya hai??🤔

@sahibarefoot Apologies, this was me being a smartass. I should have checked your website before commenting :(

@parim we only do wide toe box shoes, no narrow pointy shoes, EVER.

First prototypes are ready. Production begins shortly… 3 months and India will have the best barefoot gym kicks. Which color will you pick?

@sahibarefoot Thank you :)

@parim That is what it will be. Always.

@ApnaSecbad Do you know if the Kokapet one is also closing? Their chicken burger has been my favourite for 15 years now

One of Secunderabad's oldest bakery, VAC's, closed its doors after serving for close to 2 decades. VAC's was known for its old-school-burger & pastries. VAC was named after the owner’s initials: Vejendla Amar Chowdhary.

@vinodchendhil 1 table spoon in 400ml of buttermilk, put it in the fridge for 3-4hrs and drink it. I usually drink it at 2pm ish.

Planning to use isabgol daily How do you use it? Whats your experience? Which are good brands out there?
