| Tilting 2-storey building gives anxious moments to residents Posted: 17 Oct 2017 01:38 AM PDT A single-storey building situated near a rajakaluve (large stormwater drain) in Yeshwantpur was tilting dangerously, leaving its occupants scared on Monday night. The building, situated in B Krishnamurthy Nagar near LN Colony, has been demolished by the Palike authorities after evacuating its occupants. Residents in the neighbouring buildings were also anxious that the tilting structure may come down anytime, endangering their buildings. There was one family of four residing on the first floor. The ground floor had a flour mill and a ration shop. Owner of the building Chikkaramanna had rented out the building to one Chinnaswamy and his family. Alert resident Chinnaswamy’s daughter Priyanka had gone to a photocopy shop and was returning home at around 9.30 pm when she heard a rattling sound from the building. She alerted her family members, who ran down to the ground for safety. The family and the neighbours kept gazing at the building in the fear that it would come crashing down. The police and the Fire and Emergency services then arrived at the spot. They cleared the building so that the civic authorities can demolish it. Officials feel that the recent heavy rains increased the water flow in the rajakaluve, which in turn weakened the foundation of the building, causing it to tilt. Ward number 37 corporator GK Venkatesh said the building was 40 years old and the foundation was not laid using pillars. It was laid using red soil and granite stones, he said. The task force was called in and the building was demolished brick by brick, without causing any harm to nearby structures, Venkatesh said. Source: DH |
| Hyderabad family which went missing for a day found dead Posted: 17 Oct 2017 01:38 AM PDT A family of five who were missing for a day were found dead on the outskirts of Hyderabad on Tuesday. Prabhakar Reddy (30), a stockbroker, and his son Vashshith (2) were found dead in a car under the Outer Ring Road underpass. Bodies of Prabhakars mother Laxmi (42), his wife Madhavi (26) and daughter Sindhuja (16) were found a few yards away from the car in the bushes. The police, however, are unable to trace Prabhakars father Ravinder Reddy – an employee of ITW Signode. Some auto drivers found the car and informed the police. Within minutes, few others found the dead bodies of the women. The family lived in RC Puram and had told relatives that they are going to visit Srisailam. The police found pieces of a cake near the spot. The police suspect that the family may have committed suicide by consuming the cake laced with poison due to financial troubles. The Clues Team has been summoned and the investigation is underway. Source: DH |

| With Ambani’s brute force in play, can anyone stop Jio juggernaut? Posted: 17 Oct 2017 01:24 AM PDT The launch of Reliance Jio last year disrupted India’s telecom market — and keeps on disrupting it. Its stormy entry into the $26 billion Indian telecom market riding on big freebies last year changed the rules of the game. Apart from free voice for life, Jio didn't charge for data for the first six months. It started charging for data from April 1, but at much lower rates than rivals. In the process, it has notched up around 130 million users, or over 10% market share. Rivals scrambled for cover, and many were forced into mergers and buyouts. That wasn’t the end of disruption. This year it came out with another disruptive ploy — a 4G feature phone, JioPhone. Jio’s second wave of disruption targeted the predominantly rural feature phone users who wish to switch to a smartphone but find it expensive. JioPhone, which comes at an effective price of Rs 0, rattled the existing players who can lose a big chunk of their low-end voice customers. It will hit low-end handset makers as well. Currently, over 60 per cent of India’s roughly 750 million mobile users use phones that allow only calls and basic texts, making so-called feature phones the country’s single largest segment, according to a Reuters report. The JioPhone will create a new phone segment aimed at millions of low-paid Indians, currently caught between basic, calls-and-text devices and fancier smartphones. JioPhone wasn’t the end of Jio’s aggressive maneuvers. A recent order by the telecom regulator in its favour will leave it with piles of cash while hitting finances of its rivals. Last month, the regulator more than halved the interconnect usage charge (IUC) to 6 paise a minute from the current 14 paise and said it would be brought down to zero paise from 2020. Scrapping of interconnect charges would directly benefit Jio as it would reduce its IUC payout, given that it has more outgoing calls made to subscribers of larger operators such as Airtel, Vodafone India or Idea. Clearly, Jio has dealt another big blow to its rivals. But Jio knows no rest. Now it has set stage for another fight over IUC, this time over international calls. Reliance Jio Infocomm has called upon the telecom regulator to slash international call termination rates to 6 paise a minute, and then to zero, changing its stance and breaking ranks with larger rivals who want the fee to be increased to Re 1 from 53 paise at present. Expect another bitter battle between Jio and its rivals. At stake is roughly Rs 5,000 crore of revenue from incoming international calls, most of which are terminated on the networks of the Big 3 — Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular. Riding on its owner Mukesh Ambani’s strategic skills, clout and mountains of money, Jio is dealing blow after blow to competition. It will not be easy to stop the Jio juggernaut driven by Ambani’s brutal force. It is on track to overtake Vodafone India to become India’s second-biggest operator in terms of subscribers in urban areas, according to a note by IIFL, which analysed the Trai’s latest data. If Jio kept on disrupting the market and hitting at its rivals, it could emerge as the leader within a few years. |
| Citibank sells Chennai land to TIL Healthcare for Rs 80 crore Posted: 17 Oct 2017 01:24 AM PDT BENGALURU: The US-headquartered Citibank has sold a prime land parcel, including office space, in Chennai’s central business district to TIL Healthcare, the city’s largest healthcare firm, for Rs 80 crore, as part of the bank’s real estate monetising exercise. "The deal was concluded last month and now the land is registered in the name TIL healthcare," said three people aware of the deal. The land includes a 62,000 sq ft of built-up commercial space on Club House Road that once served as an office for Citibank. The international bank has operated from the property for over 10 years. "The idea is to increase our real estate asset and diversify the portfolio. However our core business will remain healthcare," said another person aware of the deal. The company has scope to develop additional space in the property and is currently redesigning it."The idea is to rent it out," he added. Kapil Jhanver, MD of TIL Healthcare, refused to comment.CBRE, who was banker to the transaction, could not be reached for comment. "We currently have over 3,500 employees in Chennai. As part of our growth in the city over the last few years, we have optimised our real estate footprint to reflect our current and future needs. During this process, our office building on Club House Road was viewed as surplus and has recently been divested. Details of the sale are confidential," a Citi spokesperson said in an emailed statement. TIL Healthcare’s portfolio of real estate assets across the country include land, residential, commercial and retail assets. "There is fund available with the company and as and when opportunity comes, the Jhanver Group of company wants to invest in real estate," said a company official. TIL Healthcare is the international pharmaceutical arm of the Jhaver Group of companies. The company exports its products to over 54 countries spread across Asia, Africa, CIS, Central and Latin America. It has over 500 product registrations across these regions. The Chennai market is one of the few with strong availability of office stock, spilling over from the period of 2014 15 when there was an oversupply situation. The city absorbed 1.7 mn sft of office space for January to September 2017 against 1.1 mm in the same period last year. "As we have moved from 201415 to 2017, we have seen a steady decline in vacancy indicating that a lot of previous stock is also being absorbed along with fresh supply," said a recent research Cushman and Wakefield. Supported by good infrastructure, attractive rental values and a strong talent pool, Chennai is seen as a favourable destination for IT BPM, ecommerce and BFSI processing centre. Global and national companies such as Amazon, Valeo, HDFC, TCS and FujitSu are some of the top occupants who have recently taken office space in Chennai. |

| Make Vidhana Soudha fete a low-key affair: Siddaramaiah Posted: 17 Oct 2017 12:43 AM PDT Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday directed the presiding officers of both Houses of the legislature to make the diamond jubilee celebrations of the Vidhana Soudha a low-key affair. The chief ministers direction comes in the wake of the controversy over the legislature secretariat’s plan to organise a grand celebration for the occasion. The chief minister directed Legislative Assembly Speaker K B Koliwad and Legislative Council Chairman D H Shankaramurthy to reduce the cost of the celebrations to Rs 10 crore, instead of Rs 26.87 crore as planned earlier.

| RIL-BP to invest $1.5 bn to develop satellite gas fields Posted: 17 Oct 2017 12:29 AM PDT Reliance Industries and its partner BP Plc of the UK will invest about USD 1.5 billion to bring to production six satellite gas discoveries in the flagging KG-D6 block by 2022. RIL-BP combine yesterday submitted to the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) a field development plan for what are known as satellite and other satellite fields, sources with direct knowledge of development said. They plan to develop four deepsea satellite gas finds, named D-2, 6, 19 and 22, together with two other nearby finds, D-29 and D30, in the Krishna Godavari basin block. In all, 5-6 gas producing wells will be drilled and tied to production facilities, they said adding peak output may be in the range of 10 to 12 million standard cubic meters per day. The four satellites and the two other satellite finds (D29 and D30), R-Series and MJ gas discoveries, are the ones on which RIL and BP had in mid-June this year announced investing Rs 40,000 crore to reserve the flagging production from KG-D6 block. Sources said development of the six satellite finds are being taken up together while D-34 or R-Series and D-55 (MJ) would have separate development plans. The government had in 2012 approved a USD 1.529 billion plan to produce 10.36 million standard cubic meters per day of gas from four satellite fields of block KG-DWN-98/3 (KG D6) by 2016-17. The four fields have 617 billion cubic feet of reserves and can produce gas for eight years. However, the companies did not begin the investment citing uncertainty over gas pricing. Now that the government has allowed a higher gas price of USD 6.3 per million British thermal unit for yet-to-be- developed gas finds in difficult areas like the deepsea, RIL and BP have decided to take up their development. This rate is comparable with USD 2.89 per mmBtu for currently producing fields. Sources said these four finds are now been clubbed together with D29 and D30 discoveries, which had been held up over conformity tests. RIL-BP combine does not plan to alter the USD 3.18 billion investment plan for D-34 or R-Series gas field in the same block, which was approved in August 2013. About 12.9 mmscmd of gas for 13 years can be produced from from D-34 discovery, which is estimated to hold recoverable reserves of 1.4 trillion cubic feet. A separate development plan for the MJ find would be submitted by mid-2018, they said. RIL has so far made 19 gas discoveries in the KG D6 block. Of these, D 1 and D 3 the largest among the lot were brought into production from April, 2009, but output has fallen sharply from 54 mmscmd in March, 2010, to 3-4 mmscmd. MJ is the only other field that was put to production. Together, the three fields today produce 6.4 mmscmd. Other discoveries have either been surrendered or taken away by the government for not meeting timelines for beginning production. |
