- A + A KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 10): Ranhill Utilities Bhd has obtained a four-year extension of a power purchase agreement (PPA) to develop a 50 MW large scale solar plant under large scale solar phase [email protected] ( [email protected] ) in Perak. In a bourse filing, the water supply company via its wholly-owned unit Ranhill Solar I Sdn Bhd (RSI) said it had received a notification letter from the Energy Commission (EC) on the four-year extension agreement.

Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia The two main questions for the aviation sector In India are the high airline fares due and whether aviation turbine fuel (ATF) will be brought under the GST regime. In an exclusive interview with CNBC-TV18, the Minister of Civil Aviation and Steel, Jyotiraditya Scindia, assured that both are being considered and worked upon by the government.
