We are not going to do any purchase of power for the quoted rates of Rs 37 to 41.
We have opened the tender today and several vendors quoted very high prices. Since we have sufficient power to manage for next 3 months and power is being procured in advance for next summer these prices are unreasonable. In the mean time we will be coming out with Medium and Long Term tenders for upcoming 20 years.
Hence there won’t be anymore Gas purchase for higher price and i have already instructed to cancel the below tender

A lively meeting of minds at yesterday’s jury deliberations for The @NewIndianXpress’s RamNath Goenka Sahitya Samman 2026. A pleasure to chair a spirited exchange with fellow jurors on books, ideas and the remarkable diversity of Indian writing. The difficult part, of course, is choosing among them, but we managed to achieve consensus without any volumes being flung!
