Fadnavis Bets Big on ‘Ladki Bahin Yojana’ as Maharashtra Prepares for Crucial Polls

As the political stage in Maharashtra heats up ahead of the upcoming state assembly elections, a slew of initiatives and schemes have been launched by the BJP-led MahaYuti government in a bid to retain power. On August 17, 2024, Chief Minister, along with Deputy Chief Ministers Ajit Pawar and Devendra Fadnavis, formally launched the “Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana” (MMLBY), a scheme the three parties are heavily relying on to secure victory.

According to sources, the MMLBY is a strategic move by the BJP and Devendra Fadnavis. Sources suggest that numerous meetings between the RSS and Fadnavis have been held, with Fadnavis playing a crucial role in driving the scheme’s implementation in Maharashtra and aiming to replicate the success seen in Madhya Pradesh in the upcoming assembly elections.

Fadnavis, credited as the mastermind behind the scheme’s implementation in Maharashtra, remarked during the launch event, “This government intends to help our sisters. Before this event started, the government deposited the money into the banks of 1.3 crore sisters. Those whose forms are verified in September will get their amount from July.”

The Fadnavis Factor : Strategic Lynchpin for a Tumultuous Maharashtra

The general elections of 2024 have reminded the nation that electoral politics in India is a potboiler. There is no room for lethargy or complacency. The stage is now set for some high-volume drama in the state of Maharashtra where politics in the recent years has been nothing short of a roller-coaster. There are multiple constellations of power waiting to form and for the electorate there is a simmering hope for some stability after the last five years of chaos.

The BJP is on unsure footing, despite being able to secure a second-hand alliance with a split up Shiv Sena their performance in the 2024 general elections remained sub-par. On the face of it, it seems like the choice of candidates cost the BJP their expected success yet murmurs within the party suggest that there may be some serious tension within the state unit. With Gadkari focusing his energies as a cabinet minister, the state unit seems to have been left with a power struggle. So, the question emerges, who will bring in the X factor for the BJP in Maharashtra in the days to come?

The individual who has taken personal responsibility for the BJP’s performance in the state is Devendra Fadnavis. He has been somewhat of a poster child for the party, who started young with a strong RSS grooming and rose to ranks of power. Fadnavis has been instrumental in filling a leadership void after the passing of Gopinath Munde. In the context of the upcoming elections Fadnavis is a name that no one can ignore. He has been a key player in stitching together the Mahayuti, a googly that no one saw coming. He is well-connected with the RSS as he is with the BJP’s central leadership making him a formidable political figure. He is inalienable to the Mahayuti or any alliance that may take shape in Maharashtra. It is probably this multifaceted power that Fadnavis holds which is being disliked by some of his contemporaries.

The recent barrage of allegations by Anil Deshmukh against Fadnavis regarding horsetrading and coercive political action brings the latter into political chatter yet again. While the truth behind these claims is yet to be ascertained, the timing of these claims is important to note. Is Fadnavis being targeted because he is clearly ahead in the power race? Or is it because there is no alliance ahead for the BJP, if Fadnavis is tarnished? These theories cannot be put to rest as every opponent is set to gain if Fadnavis falls. His close aide Mohit Kamboj Bharatiya went as far as suggesting that BJP’s poor performance in the state could be attributed to energies being focused on derailing Fadnavis. All evidence points to the fact that no political mogul in the state can afford to ignore the “Fadnavis factor”.

So, what goes behind this “Fadnavis factor”? A strategic mind and pedigree. In the BJP, pedigree makes all the difference. The discipline of the RSS, the political grooming of the ABVP and the strategic maneuvering of the BJP are essential features of the same. Surprisingly, Fadnavis possesses both. He has a proven record of forming crucial alliances even when the odds are stacked against him. Maharashtra politics isn’t a bipolar game anymore, it is a curious mix of different power players who answer to various target groups. The need of the hour is to consolidate the correct power constellation, with the Shiv Sena (Shinde), NCP (Ajit Pawar) and the MNS. Only Fadnavis has shown the humility and shrewdness to act as a bridge between these diverse forces.

Yet, he is not without his own complexities. Fadnavis is known for his urban-oriented policy making and caste bias. This alienates a significant population from coming into the BJP’s fold. He needs to revisit his perception within the state in order to become more widely accepted. He needs to keep his allies closer than ever as the state enters yet another tumultuous election. He would have to strengthen the intra-party dynamics which currently seem to be in a state of chaos.

BJP’s performance in the upcoming assembly elections in Maharashtra will have far-reaching effects. Thus, a strong and strategic leadership is their best bet. Devendra Fadnavis appears as a natural choice he has the requisite chatter around him and he has proven useful to the party time and time again. Fadnavis is uniquely placed as a palatable leader with very strong connections. He has a surprising humility where he can put the party ahead of his personal ambitions. He is well versed with the state’s politics owing to his long-standing association with it, but what gives him the edge is his ability to use that knowledge to tangible ends. He has been able to design grand coalitions and also rise from the ashes of the same. A strategic mind is always an asset for the political theater.

It is clear from the attacks launched at Fadnavis that he is at the peak of relevance. There is no political discussion in the state that can be conceived of sans him. Whether he succeeds in tying all the loose ends and bringing electoral victory to the Mahayuti is yet to be seen. He will have to overcome both internal and external challenges to strengthen his footing. However, it is certain that the “Fadnavis factor” will remain crucial in the political future of Maharashtra. If the BJP wants to stay relevant and buoyant in Maharashtra, the central leadership would have to make way for Devendra Fadnavis.

Toyota Kirloskar Motor Promotes Holistic Approach to Clean and Green Vehicle Mobility on the ‘World Biofuel Day 2024’

Delhi : As champions of sustainability, globally, Toyota is committed to Carbon Neutrality by 2050 and aims to achieve Net Zero Carbon in Manufacturing Operations by 2035 guided by Toyota Environmental Challenges 2050 (TEC 2050). Today, marking the World Biofuel Day, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) reiterates its commitment to sustainable mobility. The company has been advancing greener mobility solutions with greater agility by introducing and supporting multiple clean technologies considering various factors such as the current energy mix, unique consumer needs, infrastructure readiness, and the Government’s diversified efforts towards becoming ‘Atma Nirbhar’ in energy by 2047.

India is the fastest growing large economy. The country’s fossil fuel consumption along with imports is also rising rapidly, wherein the crude oil imports during April 2024 rose to its third highest level on record. India, world’s third largest energy consumer imported 21.4 million tonnes (mt) of crude oil in April ’24 & total 232.5 million tonnes of imported crude oil in 2023-24 fiscal. Due to a large increase in mobility needs, the transport sector, which currently accounts for about 50% of oil demand, will be the most significant contributor to this. The higher fossil fuel consumption is also bound to result in larger carbon emissions. Therefore, it is imperative to rapidly shift away from fossil fuels with utmost urgency.

Towards sustainable and greener future, transition to technologies that use cleaner energy such as electrification and alternate fuels (biofuel) is vital. Biofuels play a critical role in ensuring access to affordable and sustainable energy. This provides a big opportunity for India to tackle energy security concerns, boost economic growth and combat climate change by lowering carbon emissions.

India is well endowed with renewable energy, surplus sugar, food grains, and biomass which offers huge opportunities for a transition to a cleaner energy future, which is also indigenous. The abundantly available sugarcane, excess food grains, along with huge biomass waste can be used to produce ethanol that can substitute a significant amount of fossil fuel used by vehicles in the shortest possible time.

Additionally, India has big potential for ethanol production, making it an economically attractive alternative to fossil fuels and paving the way for a greener future, by using plant waste or residues like Parali through 2G technology which is otherwise burnt causing widespread pollution in northern parts of India. This has already started and can help derive economic value from waste & generate greater wealth for the agrarian economy by increasing farmer incomes and create new jobs. Further support such as research and development, favourable policy framework, etc., will enable uninterrupted supply of ethanol for the transportation sector.

Notably, in June 2024, ethanol blending with petrol reached 15.90% and cumulative ethanol blending during November 2023-June 2024 touched 13.0%. E20 is available at ‘14,611’ PSU outlets as of June ’24 and is on track to achieve 20% blending by 2025. The implementation of 20% ethanol blending in petrol by 2025-26 is expected to substitute 86 million barrels of gasoline, thereby leading to forex savings of over Rs. 30,000 crores for India, as well as likely reduction of more than 20 million metric tonnes of carbon emissions. E20 fuel will also reduce PM2.5 emissions by up to 14% as compared to petrol. Given the huge potential of ethanol production that exists up to and beyond E20, these benefits can increase multi-fold with the introduction of Flexi Fuel Vehicle (FFV) technology, that can flexibly use higher ethanol blends from 20% and above, going up to 100%.

However, the challenge with Flex Fuel Vehicles is lower fuel efficiency of Ethanol due to its lower energy density. Globally to counter this challenge, Electrified Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFV-SHEVs) are being introduced, as an advanced green technology that has both the flex fuel engine as well as an electric powertrain. Therefore, as in the case of a Strong Hybrid Electric Vehicle (SHEV), the use of the electric powertrain in combination with the flex fuel engine overcomes this challenge with enhanced fuel efficiency. Towards this, last year, TKM unveiled the prototype of World’s first BS6 Stage II Electrified Flex Fuel Vehicle. This green vehicle technology has the lowest well-to-wheel carbon emissions, and a favourable policy support can establish strong traction with consumers, thereby make the mobility sustainable.

Mr. Vikram Gulati, Country Head and Executive Vice President, Corporate Affairs and Governance, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, said, “Biofuel can reduce dependence on fossil fuels and yield environmental and economic benefits. In this context, Ethanol, as an indigenous and clean energy source, holds immense potential for India’s energy security and environmental goals. By significantly reducing fossil fuel consumption and cutting down on carbon emissions, ethanol not only supports our national agenda of carbon neutrality but also bolsters the agrarian economy by creating jobs and increasing farmer incomes. At TKM, we are making relentless efforts towards the future of sustainable mobility by adopting a multiple technology pathway approach which includes biofuel energy driven vehicle powertrains i.e., Flex Fuel Vehicle (FFV) and Flex Fuel Strong Hybrid Electric Vehicle (FFV-SHEV) technology.

As a frontrunner in electrified vehicle technology and a socially responsible corporate entity, TKM will persistently drive its endeavours and contribute to progressive innovations by disseminating sustainable technological advancements, thereby providing ‘Mobility for All’ and “Leaving No One Behind.”

Further, emphasizing the significance of multiple energy pathway approach towards achieving carbon neutrality, today, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) took part in the SIAM International Conference, themed “The Biofuel Revolution in India: Fuelling Tomorrow” that covered a series of sessions on biofuel demand and supply management, preparing the auto industry for a biofuel future, and developing a robust ecosystem for biofuel adoption. The event witnessed eminent speakers from the government and the industry, as well as participation by global experts.

Indian Consumers Embrace Larger Washing Machines for Convenience and Better Washing Performance : Samsung India

  • Indian consumer behaviour has shown significant change over the past two years, highlighting a preference for bigger washing machines that can manage greater laundry loads, according to data from Samsung India’s latest consumer research
  • Sales of front load washing machines with 9Kg and above capacities have grown by 45% so far this year, while the 7Kg and below front load washing machine categories have witnessed a fall of 26% during the same period.

GURUGRAM, India :- Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, today said that consumers are gravitating towards larger washing machines, driven by convenience and superior wash performance.

A larger drum size for the washing machine provides better wash quality while allowing users to wash more clothes per load, eventually reducing the frequency of washing machine usage – making it time and energy efficient. Bigger drum sizes in washing machines allow more space for movement of clothes, thus leading to better-cleaned and untangled clothes, Samsung India said.

Larger washing machines are also particularly helpful in washing essential home items like bedsheets, curtains and saris that are common amongst Indian households. As Indian consumers continue to prioritize convenience and efficiency, the demand for bigger washing machines is expected to rise even further, according to Samsung India.

The consumer trend resonates with the latest industry data, which shows that sales of front load washing machines with 9Kg and above capacities have grown by 45% so far this year, while the 7Kg and below front load washing machine category has witnessed a fall of 26% during the same period.

According to a consumer dipstick survey done by Samsung India, some users ensure the laundry drum is always full, optimizing its use and minimizing energy consumption, while some users have a tendency to run a second wash cycle with just a few clothes, which can lead to water wastage. Further, the survey revealed that Indian households prefer washing almost everything at home, from bed sheets to tablemats and cushion covers.

The shift towards bigger washing machines also marks the growing awareness for sustainability and energy efficiency among Indian consumers, Samsung India said.

Samsung India has a wide range of washing machines in its portfolio with bigger capacities to cater to the rising consumer demand.
