Foreign investment firms, especially private equity, are jittery about the Indian market as uncertainty continues to shroud the energy sector. Illustration: Dominic Xavier/ Rediff.com Foreign investors are nervous, so much so that at least two deals on merger and acquisition worth a combined $1,500 million in renewable energy are at stake. The reasons: Policy volatility, Centre-state differences, lack of power contracts, and the incapability of states to pay for renewable power. Concerned, the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy has called a consultative meeting between state governments and key investors including sovereign funds like the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Singapore’s GIC. Sources said discussions with Thai energy conglomerate PTT Group, which was in talks to acquire 48 per cent in ReNew Power, had hit a roadblock. PTT was in talks with Goldman Sachs since July for the stake buy.

Photograph: Rajesh Alva/ Rediff.com Our Supreme Court's campaign against the 'misuse' of special laws continues. A few days ago, a two-judge bench of Justices A K Goel and U U Lalit issued new directions to prevent what they say is the 'rampant misuse' of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. What these directions are actually likely to do is gut a law crucial to protecting Dalit and Adivasi rights. On the face of it, much of the judgment aims to uphold the fair trial rights of criminal suspects. The Court rightly observes that wrongful arrests and ... » Learn More about Supreme Court verdict is a blow to Dalit, Adivasi rights

Malaga : A new driverless electric bus has begun operating in the southern Spanish city of Malaga, in a project presented as a first in Europe. The bus, which began running on Saturday, is equipped with sensors and cameras and links Malaga's port to the city centre on an eight-kilometre (five-mile) loop it does six times a day. "The bus knows at all times where it is and what is around it," said Rafael Durban Carmona, who heads the southern division of Spanish transport company Avanza that leads the public-private consortium behind the project. It can "interact with traffic lights," which are also equipped with sensors that alert the bus when they turn red, he told AFP. The bus uses artificial intelligence to improve its "decisions" based on data recorded along the route. The 12-metre (39-foot) vehicle, which looks like any other bus, can carry 60 passengers and was developed by Spanish firm Irizar. Other driverless pilot projects already exist in Europe, but none of ... » Learn More about Driverless bus hits streets of Malaga in southern Spain
