Yesterday, an Indian company demonstrated an imported stove that uses electricity to generate flame-like burners, similar to LPG, for cooking. I was truly impressed by this innovative technology and would like to see Indian manufacturers adopt and scale it domestically.
When combined with @PMSuryaGhar, which enables electricity generation through solar power, this innovation could be a game changer in reducing dependence on LPG.

RBI should have cut the NOP limit after Mar 31. It was seen as a panic reaction & hedge funds increased long USD positions in NDF, causing MTM loss. Maybe @RBI acted due to high month-end USD demand. Like RBI's action, @FinMinIndia 's fuel duty cut, pushed up bond yield a lil

Reactions to the RBI cap on open positions in the onshore forex mkt -Bankers shocked by this sudden cap imposition -Say total positons that need to be wound down could be $40 bn, probabaly more if one counts options -If difference between $-rupee rate in NDF mkt & onshore mkt on Monday rises to say Re 1, mark-to-mkt losses for banks would be $40bnxRe1= Rs4000cr. -This Rs4,000 cr is between foreign, pvt & PSU banks -Being year-end this loss may have to be booked in FY26 P&L -Bankers are hoping RBI will tweak rules a little by tomorrow morning: -Very optimistic ask: RBI grandfathers current open positions, says rule applies to fresh positions only -Moderately optimistic hope: RBI gives 3 months time to bring down open positions to $100mln -Less optimistic hope: RBI extends time to bring down open positions to April 30, i.e. 1 month -Pessimistic position: RBI doesn't budge

The issue with renewables is not availability of sun power - it is the intermittent nature of this energy option! We need the balancing power- batteries, hydel or even gas to make it a viable option! Also, we need to have our own manufacturing capacities.
Vikram Chandra@vikramchandra
The best long term way for India to meet its energy needs is to decisively shift towards renewables - and solar in particular. Why depend on oil & gas imports, when we have enough sun? A lot of steps have already been taken in this direction, but @sumant_sinha talks to us on the India Story podcast on how this transition can be accelerated. Do watch, and share your comments! youtu.be/RBhIxRoSLfw?si…

Uday Kotak@udaykotak
The Middle East situation is now in uncharted territory. That leads to unconventional policy actions. A move on sharp reduction of Indian bank’s open fx positions in a short period seems to be in that category. Reminds me of Bimal Jalan play book as RBI Governor in 1998 when the ₹ was depreciating sharply post Asian crisis. If things get worse geo politically, is there an opportunity for a new version of FCNR( B) scheme?

MoPNG has launched the MyPNG-D Portal (MyPNGD.in).
Switched to PNG? PNG consumers can surrender LPG from at home. You dont need to visit the dealership. Just need you registered mobile or your LPGID.
1797 responsible citizens have surrendered theirs since yesterday! A big thanks to them.
You too surrender your LPG connectio and help those who dont have access to PNG.

"I did not think it would come to this... it's a full blown crisis." Veteran US diplomat @RNicholasBurns tells me "there has to be an off ramp" in Iran, pointing to warnings from history in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Agree and can relate to every word. Those days of journalism were different and it was the notepad and the power of pen that mattered. Readers awaited the next day's newspaper!
Rajdeep Sardesai@sardesairajdeep
This day 33 years ago is a day I can never forget. In 38 years of reporting news, no single event has quite affected me like the Mumbai serial blasts (and riots that preceded). I was amongst the first reporters to reach the Bombay Stock Exchange where the first blast occurred and was privileged to be part of a wonderful group of reporters at @timesofindia who did what I believe was the finest journalism of that difficult period. Some like the first rate @tajmahalfoxtrot are still with us. It was a tough moment in pre-24 hour news tv, mobile, internet and social media age . We had much less to go with (only pen and pad) but maybe as a result gave the story much more in terms of sweat and toil. Post-Babri demolition Mumbai riots and blasts 1992-93 changed the city forever. Too many innocent lives lost, a communal divide that haunts us even today. For a first draft of history, read all the stories in the book we brought out then When Bombay Burned . Sadly out of stock but maybe time for a brave publisher to do a reprint with an updated foreword? 🙏🙏

When was the last time you read something over 50 pages long?
If it has been a while, a critical part of your brain may be getting ignored. Not just figuratively.
INTRODUCING THE DMN
Neuroscientists call it the Default Mode Network. It activates during deep reading, long narratives and sustained reflection.
WHY THIS MATTERS
The DMN is associated with empathy, imagination and the ability to think about consequences over time.
It rarely switches on for a tweet. It does not fully engage for a reel. It needs length, patience and the slow build of a story that does not rush to pay you off.
THE CONSEQUENCE
When we stop engaging it regularly, the habits it supports begin to weaken. What are those habits?
Nuance. Perspective taking. Delayed judgment.
Ironically these are precisely the things no algorithm can replicate. Or for that matter, no AI.
SO WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
Stop reading this post. Okay, wait till the end!
Pick up something at least 25 pages long and read it continuously. The topic does not matter. Find something that interests you.
A few small tricks help:
1. Fix a daily reading hour. Even twenty minutes is enough. Treat it like an appointment.
2. Remove the phone from the room. Your attention cannot compete with an infinite scroll machine.
3. Read physical pages if you can. The brain treats paper differently from a screen.
4. Do not worry about finishing books. The goal is to rebuild the habit of sustained attention.
If you follow these steps, soon something interesting may happen. The reading hour expands. You find yourself reading before the hour starts, or after it ends.
And then one day you realise you are deep inside a 500 page book and looking forward to the next chapter.
PS: Before I sound too high and mighty, I have had my own struggles. I had to work toward this habit and I am still learning.
But this year I am on my seventh book. Two of them were over 600 pages long. Still a novice, but getting there.
You do not build a deep mind in 280 characters.
You build it one long page at a time.

Defining standards for green ammonia and green methanol is an important milestone for India’s clean energy ecosystem.
It provides the clarity needed to scale e-fuels production, support industrial decarbonisation, and enable global trade.
With clear frameworks in place, India is well positioned to participate in the growing international market for green fuels.
A positive step toward building a competitive green energy economy.

For Benjamin Netanyahu, the war with Iran is clearly about destroying the Islamic Republic.
But Washington’s focus should be different: it needs to secure the gains it has made — a disarmed and defanged Iran — without pushing the country into civil war.
