The Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) will issue tenders for phase 1 of the project in June, senior officials confirmed. The ambitious corridor, which is set to halve the time of travel between Virar and Alibaug, has been divided into two phases. While phase 1 will see construction of a 98.5-km highway between Navghar and Balavali, phase 2 will be a 29.9-km link from Balavali to Alibaug. The first phase is expected to be completed by March 2022, while the entire corridor is expected to be functional by the end of 2022. Sanjay Khandare, additional metropolitan commissioner, MMRDA said, “A detailed project report for the corridor will be completed by March. Once it is finalised, we will be ready to bid. By the time the bidding process is completed, which will take three-four months, we hope to acquire the land required for the project.” The MMRDA is also expecting the environmental, forest and wildlife clearances by March. The total land required for the project is 583 hectares, of which 180 hectares is forest land. The agency got the coastal regulation zone (CRZ) clearance for the project in the end of 2016. The corridor will be 99-m wide with a 30-m Metro line running on the median. The eight-lane highway has been designed to promote new growth centres in the city’s hinterland and also decongest the metropolis. Khandare said the process of land acquisition has been initiated. “We have requested collectors to begin the process. Notices are being issued to land owners,” he said. The MMRDA will adopt land-pooling method for the project, which is being used for the 710-km Mumbai-Nagpur Super Communication Expresssway. In land pooling, small chunks of land owned by private owners are clubbed together for a public project in exchange for a share in the developed land. It turns landowners into stakeholders in a project. Source: Hindustan Times State-run Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL) has invited a bid for 2,000 electric vehicle chargers for the second phase of its EV programme, which will see the rollout of 9,500 electric vehicles across different states.
"We have invited the bid for 2,000 electric vehicle chargers. We will need more chargers, of course, but we want to do it in phases," Saurabh Kumar, managing director at EESL, told ET. EESL, which is a joint venture of PSUs under the power ministry, had floated a global tender for 10,000 electric vehicles to replace the government fleet. The tender was split in two parts, where 500 vehicles were to be procured in phase one, while the remaining would be procured in the second phas .. News Source: Economic Times The solar kits will be installed in rural areas with no connection to the country’s power grid. The Subsecretary of Renewable Energy of the Ministry of Energy and Mining of Argentina has launched a tender for the supply of solar PV kits to 120,000 rural households within the frame of the PERMER project.
The supply includes the acquisition of both low-power solar home kits and rechargeable solar lamps, and the operation of the facilities for a period of three years, extendable for another two years. The tender will be held through a competitive procurement process with an international focus, said the Subsecretary of Renewable Energy. Bids must be submitted no later than Thursday, March 15 at 12:00 hours. The PERMER program is financed by the World Bank. Each installation planned in the framework of the project consists of two photovoltaic panels with a total power of 120 Wp, a battery, a control board and five lamps of 18 W. The implementation of each project is carried out in an articulated manner between a Project Coordination Unit (PCU) of the Subsecretary of Renewable Energy, and the local provincial governments. The PERMER allows access to energy in a clean and renewable manner and is a policy of social inclusion that is aimed at generating greater equality of opportunity and an improvement in the quality of life of the population, the Subsecretary of Renewable Energy asserted. News Source: PV Magazine The BBMP on Friday opened the technical bid from the sole bidder for its proposed pod taxi project. While scrutiny is still on, commissioner N Manjunatha Prasad said, in future, more tenders will be floated for other routes.
"We have floated the tender. The technical and financial bids have to be evaluated. We had initially suggested five routes, but the bidder will be free to choose any one and implement the project on that route. Once that is successful, we will float more tenders for the other stretches identified," Prasad said from New Delhi. The Palike had originally identified these routes — Trinity Circle to Leela Palace (4km), Leela Palace to Marathahalli Junction (6km), Marathahalli Junction to Whitefield (6.5km), MG Road Metro station to Koramangala-HSR Layout (7km), Jayanagar 4th Block to JP Nagar 6th Phase (5.3km) and Sony Junction to Indiranagar Metro station (6.7km). When it floated the tender, the Palike clubbed at least three of these routes and called bidders to implement the project on a 30km stretch from Trinity Circle to Whitefield via Old Airport Road, with 12 major stations. Also, given that the route was passing through Old Airport Road, it had decided to add a couple of stations off the road connecting it to Byappanahalli through Suranjan Das Road. However, in response, the BBMP received just one bid from a consortium comprising Smart Personal Rapid Transit Systems, Ultra PRT and Bengaluru-based Embassy Property Developments Private Limited. Bengaluru development minister K J George had told TOI on Thursday that the tender was called for a pilot and that it was aimed to help IT workers in Whitefield and Byappanahalli areas. According to Praveen Lingaiah, executive engineer, traffic engineering cell, the bidder has proposed to execute the project on more routes than what BBMP had sought. "The bidder has offered to implement the project even in HBR Layout, Kalyan Nagar and Nagawara, among other stations proposed, which we had not sought for in the tender," he said. While officials indicated that it might be the latter, there was no official confirmation about it. Lingaiah said once his team scrutinizes the documents to ensure they meet all technical specifications, and once they are approved by senior officers, the BBMP will open the financial bid. News Source: The Times of India Reliance Infrastructure Ltd (RInfra) has emerged as the lowest bidder in a ₹567-crore EPC tender, floated by NTPC for setting up a system, which will remove sulphur dioxide from the exhaust gases of the Jhajjar power plant, sources said.
The national power company runs a 1,500-MW thermal coal-based power plant at Jhajjar, Haryana. The plant has three units of 500 MW each. When thermal coal gets burnt at a power plant, sulphur dioxide along with other hazardous chemicals are emitted in the exhaust gases, which are also called flue gases. RInfra will install the Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) system at the plant. The FGD system will help curb the pollution and improve the air quality around the plant. Considering the dipping air quality in the vicinity of coal-based power plants and the resultant health hazards, the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change had notified in 2015, the revised standards for emissions to be met by thermal power plants. Meeting of these standards requires comprehensive retrofits of power plants with FGD system in the operating units as well as units under construction. RInfra has emerged as the lowest bidder amid stiff competition from other EPC players such as BHEL, L&T and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, sources said. The overall schedule for the project is 20 months from the date of allotment for the first unit with subsequent units at three months interval. News Source: The Hindu Business Line The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has invited interested organizations to respond to Part 2 of the OGC Testbed 14 Call for Participation. Part 2 is concerned with the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Exploitation Platforms, which is part of the Testbed 14 Earth Observations & Cloud (EOC) Thread.
Due to specialized sponsor procurement requirements, the Testbed 14 solicitation is issued in two parts:
Organizations selected to participate in Testbed 14 will develop prototype solutions based on the sponsors’ use cases, requirements, and scenarios. These are described in detail in the CFP and ITT. Participants’ prototype solutions will implement existing OGC standards as well as new prototype interface and encoding specifications introduced or developed in Testbed 14. Prototype specifications may ultimately become official, member approved OGC standards, revisions to existing OGC standards, or best practices for using OGC standards. Making arbitrary applications available on cloud infrastructures or exploitation platforms in a standardized way is a key technology for Big Data in general and particularly true for Earth Observation satellite data processing. When the transport of large amounts of data is not feasible, or simply not cost efficient, processes need to be shipped and executed as closely as possible to the actual data. Testbed 14 continues the work initiated in Testbed 13, which experimented with different options to describe, for example, the mounting of external data to Docker containers, discussed different elements to be included in the Application Package itself, etc. During the first third of the project, Testbed 14 participants will develop a clear recommendation on the various aspects left open by Testbed 13. This is a consensus process that needs to be supported by all participants.
