GST DEADLINE EXTENDED– The GST Council on Saturday decided to extend the deadline for filing GSTR 1 for July to October 10, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley told reporters here.
The GST Council, that met in Hyderabad on Saturday, has decided that GSTR-3B will continue to filed for the months of August to December. But the Council has given extra time of up to a few months for filing of certain forms for the month of July 2017.
For taxpayers with aggregate turnover of more than Rs 100 crore: GSTR-1: Revised due date – October 3, 2017
For others GSTR-1: Revised due date – October 10 , 2017 GSTR-2: Revised due date – October 31, 2017 GSTR-3: Revised due date – November 10, 2017
No change has been made to the deadline of 18 October, 2017 for GSTR-4. This form has to be filed for the July -September 2017 period. The media statement issued by the government said the GST Council has decided that table 4 under GSTR-4 is not to be filled for the quarter, and that the requirement of GSTR-4A for this quarter has been dispensed with. GSTR-6: Revised due date – October 13, 2017
The due date for submission of the GST TRAN-1 form has been extended by one month to October 31, 2017, the media statement added.
The registration of persons liable to deduct tax at source and collect tax at source will commence from 18 September, 2017. The date from which the tax will be deducted or collected has yet to be notified.
“Extending the deadline for filing the GSTR-1 for July 2017 by another one month is indeed a welcome step,” said Pratik Jain, partner and indirect tax leader at PwC India. This gives much needed time to the industry as well as GSTN (GST Network) to sort out the system and process related issues, he added.
Composition Scheme
A registered taxpayer, whether migrated from the earlier regime or a new regsitration, can opt for the composition scheme till 30 September, 2017. Such a taxpayer will be permitted to avail benefits of the scheme starting 1 October, 2017.
CM Devendra Fadnavis during presentation of survey report done on Police Nagpur by Tirpude Institution of Management Nagpur Sep 03rd 2017
Nagpur: Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said Sunday that the government would commission surveys in major cities of the state to find out what is the public perception of the state’s police forces. Fadnavis was speaking at a programme to unveil the outcome of a survey undertaken by the Nagpur Police to find out what the general public thinks of the efficacy of its work. Fadnavis praised the Nagpur police for “significantly improving” various indices of efficacy as revealed by the survey, which was conducted by the local Tirpude Institute of Management Education. “Positive outcome has come to fore in terms of qualitative changes in the survey for which Nagpur police deserve congratulations. The performance has vastly improved in regard to the number of crimes, successful detection and conviction rate. The survey will also help the police decide appropriately on necessary future corrections, which will lead to bettering of police-public relations,” said Fadnavis.
Nagpur Police hold surveys, Fadnavis mentioned the various initiatives taken by the Nagpur police, like Bharosa Cell, which was formed to immediately address women’s complaints, a special squad against land mafia and N Tracks — a traffic improvement programme, among others. He added, “Similar surveys will be undertaken in other cities of Maharashtra too.” Police Commissioner K Vyankateshan, who was present at the event, said, “Such a detailed survey about police functioning has been done for the first time, which has shown an improvement of 157 per cent about the image of the police in the public’s mind, a 147 per cent improvement in police’s conduct with the public, 135 per cent improvement in perception of work efficacy, 108 per cent in communication and 85 per cent in public support to police in 2017, as compared to 2014. This was due to various initiatives undertaken by the police.”

Rafael Nadal swept past Argentina’s Juan Martin del Potro in brilliant style to set up a US Open final against Kevin Anderson.
Rafael Nadal, a veteran of big nights and spectacular wins, will play the 31-year-old South African debutant Kevin Anders on in the final of the US Open on Sunday after a commanding four-set win over Juan Martin del Potro on Friday night.
The Spaniard won nine games in a row at one stage on his way to a 4-6 6-0 6-3 6-2 victory in the second semi-final.
South Africa’s Anderson, 31, beat Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta 4-6 7-5 6-3 6-4 earlier on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
At 32 in the world, Anderson is the lowest-ranked man to reach a US Open singles final since the ranking system was introduced in 1973.
He faces a huge challenge against Nadal, who has a 4-0 record in their head-to-head and grew stronger as the match wore on against a tired Del Potro.
Nadal said of Anderson, “He is a huge player, with unbelievable serve. And he plays so well on this surface. He had some injuries but was able to back and play the best tennis of his career. I have known him since we were 12 years. Great to see him in the final.”
Nadal was the first to crack, in the fifth game, and Del Potro consolidated on his booming serve which was hitting the spot with ominous accuracy.
The last time Nadal lost in the semi-final of a slam was here in 2009 to Del Potro on the same court eight years ago, and he was not about to endure a repeat performance.
Del Potro, roared on by the Argentine fans who have given him loud support throughout this US Open, gathered himself to win a tight first set, before running out of steam.
The 24th seed coped superbly in the early stages as Nadal pummelled his weaker backhand wing, winning the cross-court battle and, thanks to a net cord on break point, with it the set.

But an epic five-set win over Dominic Thiem and a draining four-set defeat of Roger Federer in the previous rounds had left Del Potro admitting that he felt tired, and Nadal took full advantage.
The world number one found his range in the second set, shifting the point of attack to send his forehand up the line and reeling off 13 winners to Del Potro’s one.
A powerful 8.2-magnitude earthquake rocked Mexico late Thursday, killing at least 16 people in what the president called the quake-prone country’s biggest one in a century.
One of the most powerful earthquakes ever to strike Mexico has hit off its southern coast, killing at least 15 people, toppling houses and businesses and sending panicked people into the streets more than 650 miles away.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake hit off Chiapas state near the Guatemalan border with a magnitude as 8.1 — slightly stronger than the magnitude 8 quake of 1985 quake that killed thousands and devastated large parts of Mexico City.
National civil defense chief Luis Felipe Puente told that at least 15 people had died, 10 of them in Oaxaca, also close to the epicenter.
Hundreds of buildings collapsed or were damage, power was cut at least briefly to more than 1.8 million people and authorities closed schools Friday in at least 11 states to check them for safety.
“The house moved like chewing gum and the light and internet went out momentarily,” said Rodrigo Soberanes, who lives near the Chiapas state city of San Cristobal de las Casas.
The U.S. Geological Survey recorded at least 20 aftershocks of magnitude 4.0 or greater within about five hours after the main shake, and the president warned that a major aftershock as large as magnitude 7.2 could occur.
The USGS said the quake struck at 11:49 p.m. Thursday and its epicenter was 102 miles west of Tapachula in Chiapas. It had a depth of 43.3 miles.
The quake caused buildings to sway violently in Mexico’s capital more than 650 miles away. As beds banged against walls, people still wearing pajamas fled into the streets, gathering in frightened groups.
Chiapas Gov. Manuel Velasco said that three people were killed in San Cristobal, including two women who died when a house and a wall collapsed. He called on people living near the coast to leave their houses as a protective measure.
“There is damage to hospitals that have lost energy,” he said. “Homes, schools and hospitals have been damaged.”

Nitin Gadkari told about Cars Industry, petrol and diesel vehicle impacts
Nitin Gadkari Minister for Road Transport and Highways and Shipping on Thursday said he wants the pace of car sales in India to slow down as growth in vehicle sales, particularly those running on diesel, is choking roads and causing increased pollution.
“You may not like it, but I wish it from my heart that your growth should be less. If this growth continues, I will need to add one more lane to national highways, which will cost a whopping Rs 80,000 crore,” Gadkari told stunned representatives of the car industry.
Petrol and diesel vehicles will need to make way for electric powertrains and engines running on other fuel variants such as ethanol and biofuels. “I am going to do it, whether you like it or not. I will bulldoze. Petrol, diesel banaane walon kaa band-baajaa bajaanaa hai (We will take the makers of petrol/diesel engine vehicles to task),” Gadkari said.
Gadkari, speaking in line with the government’s larger plan to have only electric vehicles in India by 2030, advised the industry to “innovate, research and work on new technologies” to find alternative transport solutions. “Come to public transport. You can bring solutions through diversification.”
Citing an example, the minister said car usage has seen a rapid rise. “Even my chef comes in a car. There are too many cars, which is also leading to parking problems. I think the car industry should also go in for finding parking solutions, and look at an integrated approach.”
To cut down on use of cars, especially in smaller towns, the minister said the government is planning to come out with a platform or an app – on the lines of Uber and Ola – that would facilitate the use of two-wheelers as a taxi.
“Gadkari said, adding that “we need to move towards alternative fuels” such as ethanol. “The government has decided to start 15 industries for second-generation ethanol. Ethanol can easily be produced from agro-based cotton straw, wheat straw, rice straw, bagass and bamboo. Alternative fuel is import substitute, cost effective and pollution free,”.
The minister said that the industry should increasingly focus on electric vehicles and added that cost of batteries has also been coming down. Seeking the launch of electric bikes, buses and cars
A Strong Earthquake of magnitude 8.1 has struck in the Pacific off the southern coast of Mexico
A very powerful earthquake of magnitude 8.1 has struck in the Pacific off the southern coast of Mexico, shaking buildings in the capital and sparking tsunami warnings.
A huge rescue operation is under way in the worst-hit states of Tabasco, Oaxaca and Chiapas where people are feared trapped under rubble.
President Enrique Peña Nieto says at least 200 people have been injured.
The USGS said a magnitude 8.1 quake struck 123 km (76 miles) southwest of the town of Pijijiapan, at a depth of 33 km (21 miles). Widespread, hazardous tsunami waves were possible, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said.
The quake was felt in Mexico City, with buildings shaking and people running into the street. Some electricity cuts have been reported in the capital but there are no reports of major damage there.
A Magnitude 8.0 #earthquake just struck off the coast of Mexico.
At this point I'm just praying for every living thing on this planet. ???????? pic.twitter.com/skBv761y8P
If confirmed at magnitude 8.1, the quake would be bigger in strength to those that struck Mexico in 1995 and 1985. The latter hit close to Mexico City and caused thousands of deaths.
Mexico is currently also being threatened on its eastern coast by Hurricane Katia. The government has said at least 32 people have died in southern Mexico. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said in a tweet that he had initiated emergency protocols, including convening the National Emergency Committee.
It looks like Baahubali came to rescue of Bollywood this year Baahubali: The Conclusion was probably the best thing that happened to the film industry this year. Amid many disappointments in the first half of this year, it was SS Rajamouli’s second take on Baahubali that proved to be the saving grace for both distributors and exhibitors.
Concurring with this fact, Rahul Puri, MD of Mukta Arts said, “We got 20 percent of our entire yearly revenue in just about 6 weeks of Baahubali’s run.”
The company reported its earnings for the first quarter of 2017 during which Mukta Arts’ exhibition business almost doubled its revenue. This was on the back of a strong content pipeline which lifted the exhibition segment and increased margins.
“Exhibition business is strongly related to the quality of content in theatres. Quarter one had Baahubali 2 that did phenomenally well and that helped to boost the entire space,” said Puri.
At a time when exhibitors and distributors are having a tough time as big-budget films are finding it difficult to bring back audience to theatres, Baahubali: The Conclusion proved to be a game-changer. According to a few producers, exhibitors and analysts, Baahubali 2 will inspire filmmakers and investors to mount more ambitious and bigger budget films.
A Box Office India report suggests the first half of 2017 has been a poor one with seven films succeeding and only one film, Baahubali: The Conclusion, standing above all. The film is the biggest blockbuster this century as it sold over 5.25 crore tickets in the Hindi language.
If only Hindi films are taken into account then Badrinath Ki Dhulhania fared well at the box office, it was the only super hit film, the report said. The other hit film was Akshay Kumar-starrer Jolly LLB 2, while Irrfan Khan’s Hindi Medium scored only in the metros. Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Raees performed well overseas but was weak at the Indian box office. Films like Tubelight and Kaabil made money for the makers but distributors suffered huge losses.
In the nine months this year around 24 big-budget films have flopped, as per a media report. After the disappointing performance of Jab Harry Met Sejal and Tubelight, film trade analysts are saying filmmakers are under the impression that superstars can sell bad content but looking at the current scenario it seems it doesn’t work that way. It is important for the content to speak for itself.
Apple Refuses Adding TRAIs DND App, Apple and Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) are fighting over the user data that iPhone users in India have on their phone. TRAI argues that no smartphone company should be a guardian of the user data of its smartphones and should share it with apps that require that data to function. Apple has indicated that it believed the TRAI app is a potential risk to its user’s privacy.
Bloomberg reports that the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is unable to get its ‘Do Not Disturb’ tool into the App Store; it’s designed to crowdsource data about spam calls and messages, so as to help avoid unsolicited communication with telemarketers and the like. An Android version of the app is available on Google Play.
TRAI has an anti-spamming app which blocks the numbers reported by the users and then launches a strict action against the number. The app is readily available to Android users, albeit poor customer reviews. TRAI Chairman R S Sharma publically slammed Apple a few weeks ago and has now said, “Nobody’s asking Apple to violate its privacy policy. It is a ridiculous situation, no company can be allowed to be the guardian of a user’s data.”
Why Apple Denied TRAI’s DND App ?
Apple says that the app violates its privacy policy; the company hasn’t budged from its position on the matter even after half a dozen meetings with the agency. While the company says it’s concerned about keeping its users’ data private, it shares data with affiliates and partners.
Spam messages and calls are a usual trend in India and most of the users use TrueCaller app to manage spam. TRAI maintains a Do Not Disturb directory and uses its app to catch hold of more spam numbers. Apple has reportedly told TRAI that its app violates privacy policies that the company has for the app store. Sharma has said that this fight is not the government vs Apple but, Apple vs its users as the problem of who controls user data gets more prevalent than before. Recently, TRAI came out with a comprehensive paper on “data ownership” that it wants to be debated. In the paper, TRAI argues that the users should own their own data and should have a say on how their data can or should be used.
The idea of data ownership sounds good but in a nutshell, it is a double edged sword. On one hand, introducing data ownership will become the users the sole owners of their data and take a lot of power away from services such as Google, Facebook and more as they won’t be able to use the data the way want to. On the other hand, it can open to flood gates to weak data privacy as third party apps would just require a click of the ‘Accept’ button to access the desired information as an average user may not understand the jargon written in privacy policy documents.

Basic health tips for maintaining a good health that make you happy
The context in which an individual lives is of great importance on health status and quality of life. Health is maintained and improved not only through the advancement and application of health science, but also through the efforts and intelligent lifestyle choices of the individual and society. Here are some basic health tips for maintaining a good health.
Exercise
You don’t have to belong to a gym club. Thirty minutes walk every day will to prevent weight gain and encourage moderate weight loss. The health benefits of regular exercise and physical activity are hard to ignore. Everyone benefits from exercise, regardless of age, sex or physical ability.
Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn.
Eat healthy
Reduce fat intake, cut down on sugar and opt for fruits and vegetables. This helps reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. Healthy food will also lead to better blood sugar control. A healthy eating plan also will lower your risk for heart disease and other health conditions. A healthy eating plan: Emphasizes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat dairy products. Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. Limits saturated and trans fats, sodium, and added sugars.
Reduce stress
Not everything we want we get. We have to accept that there are things that we cannot control. Managing time is also of great importance too. We must allow ourselves enough time to get things done. Set a time during the day for relaxation.
Improve sleep
Avoid caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and other chemicals that interfere with sleep. Equip your bedroom with a comfortable mattress and pillows. Sleep in a dark clean and quiet environment. One of the major reasons for improper sleep is stress. Stress Hormones reduce when you meditate regularly. As a result there is a calming effect on the mind and the sleep is deeper and more restful.
Meditation Meditation has been linked to a variety of health benefits. It has been linked to changes in metabolism, blood pressure, brain activation, and other bodily processes. There is something that can definitely help you improve your healthy lifestyle quotient. It’s meditation, as a lot of people share. So let’s have a look at some of the aspects of a healthy lifestyle and how meditation can help you in these areas.
Positive thinking
People who think positively have an optimistic view of life that affects their health and well-being. Optimism has been shown to explain between 5–10% of the variation in the likelihood of developing some health conditions, notably including cardiovascular disease,stroke, depression, and cancer.
Living longer is something we can all be happier about. A positive outlook can influence more than just your mood. “People who are optimistic are more committed to their goals, are more successful in achieving their goals, are more satisfied with their lives, and have better mental and physical health when compared to more pessimistic people,” said Segerstrom.
The study, which looked at 607 patients in a hospital in Denmark, found that patients whose moods were overall more positive were 58 percent more likely to live at least another five years. These people exercised more, too. The scientists can’t say for sure if positivity led to exercise or if exercise improved mood, but we say that the important message is the same either way: Positive thinking and regular physical activity are really important for life (and beauty, too).

Bangladesh vs Australia Second Test, Historic victory for bangladesh!
Bangladesh vs Australia, Bangladesh won the toss on Monday and elected to bat in the second Test as it pursued an historic series victory against Australia.
Historic victory for bangladesh! It’s all over for Australia! Bangladesh have pulled off the unthinkable. They’re overjoyed, and why not. Despite David Warner’s exceptional counter-punching efforts, the visitors have fallen short here. If anyone is looking to debate Test cricket’s health, he could throw yesterday and today as his opening argument. This is also Bangladesh’s 10th Test victory in their history, and furthers their growth in the longest format. Last year, they beat England at home and now they’ve overcome a strong Australian side. Lots of credit for the performance to Shakib Al Hasan, who finishes the match with 10 wickets. He’s been a true leader on the field, spurring the side on with his infectious energy. The young Mehidy Hasan and Taijul Islam too have been very effective in rattling Australia’s inability to play turn. Some patting on the back for Mushfiqur Rahim as well, who has used his bowlers smartly.

The engine and nine coaches of the train had derailed between Vasind and Asangaon stations in on August 29 following a landslide, the fourth derailment in 10 days.
Acknowledging their presence of mind and the services rendered on the day of the accident, Railway Board chairman Ashwani Lohani said, “They displayed sincerity, dedication and performed like true railwaymen. And, we therefore recognise their services.”
Loco pilot Virendra Singh (52) and assistant loco pilot Abhay Kumar Pal (32), both employed with the Central Railway, were felicitated by Mr. Lohani in the presence of various senior officials and engineers of the national transporter. The drivers showed exemplary dedication to duty and displayed alertness and presence of mind. resulting in saving of hundreds of passengers by controlling the speed of the train, read the appreciation letter handed over to the drivers.
“Despite the sighting distance being very less due to sharp curvature and heavy rain on approach, they immediately applied the emergency brakes. Due to a quick response, impact of the locomotive hitting the mud was considerably reduced. Though the incident resulted in derailment of locomotive and nine coaches in the Igatpuri-Kalyan section, it did not result in injury to any of the passengers, as the speed was considerably reduced due to quick and prompt action by the staff,” it said.
Despite being affected themselves by the accident, the drivers “gained composure and alerted the control room about the gravity of the situation leading to immediate switching off of the OHE (overhead electricity) supply of both the lines (Up and Down) by the control, thereby avoiding a serious situation”.
An award of ₹10,000 was also given by to Mr. Singh and ₹5,000 to Mr. Pal as tokens of appreciation, officials said.
Nagpur: Nagpur Metro begins internal trial run for Metro operations on the 5.8 km at grade stretch from Mihan depot to south of airport. A team from Research Designs and Standards Organization (RDSO), Lucknow, will come to the city to review the preparations around September 10. A larger team will then reach here to conduct the trial run itself.
A source in Mahametro said that track laying on the at grade stretch had been completed. “Track testing will be started soon to meet RDSO’s norms. All the electrical masts for supplying power to the trains have been installed. Currently, testing of the power traction system is being done,” he added.
Nagpur Metro begins internal trial run
The source further said that Mahametro had sought seven approvals from RDSO. “We have received five of them—schedule of dimensions, design basis report (stations), design basis report (viaduct), track fastening system and signalling and telecommunication. The ones for track and traction are expected soon. In spite of being lengthy processes, the approvals were obtained very fast and now 75% of our documentation work is complete,” he added.
A formal function will be held here to mark the internal trial run. It will be attended by chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, union transport minister Nitin Gadkari and SBI chairperson-cum-managing director (CMD) Arundhati Bhattacharya. The common mobility card (CMC) of Mahametro will be released at the hands of these guests during the trial run function. Mahametro is trying to get a common date from the three.
The source further said that Mahametro managing director Brijesh Dixit had set a goal of starting commercial operations in November. “Total of 70% work of the stations is over. Work on signalling and telecommunications is progressing fast. After RDSO clears the Metro operations, we will apply to commissioner of Metro rail safety (CMRS) for approval for commercial operations. CMRS team will again check each and every thing and then clear the project,” he added.
Meanwhile, work on other stretches of the Metro is also going on at a rapid pace. The commercial operation of airport to Sitabuldi section is proposed in middle of next year. Work on construction of the viaduct is going on day and night. Once it is complete, Mahametro will begin track laying and installation of electrical masts and signalling equipment.
A separate trial run will be held for this section and only after it is cleared by RDSO and CMRS will Mahametro be able to start commercial operations.

Nagpur earned the distinction of becoming the country’s first city with electric fleet of 200 electric vehicles, including taxis, buses, e-rickshaw and autos.
“Promoting electric vehicles is our priority. We want electric buses, autorickshaws and other vehicles to ply in the country. We are engaged in initial talks with SoftBank for loans at low interest rate for a green project. We want to introduce 2 lakh electric buses for public transport,” Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said today.
He was addressing the media here before the launch of a pilot project for 200 electric vehicles, including 100 of Mahindra’s new e20 plus.
The Union minister, along with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, inaugurated India’s first multi-modal electric vehicle project at the Nagpur Airport Complex here.
With this, Maharashtra has become the first state to provide various incentives to e-taxis.
“Electric mass mobility ecosystem in Nagpur will bring about a transformational change in the automotive and transportation landscape in the country,” Gadkari said after the launch.
Speaking at the event, Fadnavis said, “To promote electric fleet, we have waived road tax, and registration for all electric vehicles in the state, and we look forward to building Maharashtra as a model state for others to emulate in future.”
The pilot project here will commence with a 200-strong fleet, including 100 of Mahindra’s new e2o Plus vehicles. The rest will consist of vehicles sourced from other OEMs, including Tata Motors, Kinetic, BYD and TVS, among others.
Taxi aggregator Ola has already invested upwards of Rs 50 crore towards EVs and charging infrastructure, starting with 50 plus charging points across four strategic locations in Nagpur.
Gadkari said the target is to reduce the ticket fare of public transport by 50 percent in the country and charging these vehicles will not be an issue as charging stations are being set up.
The size of the automobile industry, which is at Rs 4.5 lakh crore, is estimated to grow to Rs 25 lakh crore and stress should be laid on promoting environment-friendly vehicles that causes minimum pollution, he suggested.
The state government will gradually ramp up the operations of electric taxis in all major cities of Maharashtra.
Pawan Goenka, MD, Mahindra and Mahindra, said the company will lead this charge in India with the government. Bhavish Aggarwal, co-founder and CEO, Ola, stressed that electric mobility in a multi-modal format will be the key towards realising the company’s mission of building mobility for a billion Indians.
With an eye on promoting eco-friendly transport, the government will be ready with its electric vehicle policy by December.
Accelerated adoption of electric and shared vehicles could save $60 billion in diesel and petrol cost while cutting down as much as 1 gigatonne (GT) of carbon emission for India by 2030, government think-tank Niti Aayog said in a joint report with Rock Mountain Institute earlier this month.
A group of ministers, constituted to prepare the draft plan for the electric vehicle policy, has submitted recommendations to the Cabinet secretary and is now preparing the draft plan.
A number of Indian companies have also shown interest in investing in electric vehicles and the related infrastructure.
The policy will include both light and heavy weight electric vehicles like cars and buses.
Dispelling concerns on lack of infrastructure for charging such vehicles, the minister said a charging station is being set up.
Gadkari also said he will soon be meeting Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to request for a lower tax slab for vehicles run on ethanol, bio diesel and bio CNG.
“I will also request him to reduce tax rate on hybrid vehicles in order to tackle air pollution in the long run,” he said.
The NITI Aayog report estimates that India can conservatively save up to 64 percent of anticipated passenger mobility-related energy demand and 37 percent of carbon emissions by 2030. At current oil prices, this will imply a net fuel cost saving of approximately Rs 3.9 lakh crore by 2030, the report said.
According to Gadkari, there are big plans to develop low-cost lithium-ion batteries in India and efforts are on to remodel the battery made by Indian Space Research Organisation to make it fit for use in electric vehicles.
Maruti Suzuki has evinced interest in developing lithium ion batteries, he added.
The government is aggressively trying to push sales and production of electric vehicles in the country through schemes such as FAME India, which have caught the fancy of Chinese automobile manufacturers such as BYD and SAIC that are already investing heavily in electric technology.
A 12 percent levy on pure electric vehicles (EVs) has been proposed under the goods and services tax regime, a move that reflects the government’s intention to push its adoption.
“It is our policy to encourage electric cars and buses. Shortly, I will be coming out with a policy regarding this. Hybrid cars should also be encouraged, it saves fuel,” he explained.
Electric and hybrid vehicles along with alternative fuel like ethanol are gaining traction as part of efforts to reduce India’s crude oil import bill.
“We import crude worth Rs 7 lakh crore. Electric, ethanol, bio diesel, bio CNG are import substitutes and cost effective, pollution free and indigenous too,” Gadkari added.
With an aim to promote eco-friendly vehicles, the government had launched the FAME India scheme in 2015 offering incentives on electric and hybrid vehicles of up to Rs 29,000 for bikes and Rs 1.38 lakh for cars.
India vs Sri Lanka 5th ODI, Team India eye series clean sweep
India vs Sri Lanka 5th ODI. A rampaging India will fancy their chances of completing a 5-0 whitewash of Sri Lanka when they face the beleaguered hosts in the fifth and final One-day International match here tomorrow.
The visitors already swept the Test series 3-0, and given their dominant run on this trip, would like to sweep the ODI series as well.
Sri Lanka are in danger of losing a second successive ODI series to India by a 5-0 margin. The last time these two sides played a bilateral series in November 2014, a depleted Lankan side lost 5-0 in India.
Their fortunes haven’t changed much since and another loss would be a serious body blow for the hosts in what has been a traumatic summer of cricket. They have already foregone the opportunity to automatically qualify for the 2019 ODI World Cup by failing to win two matches in this series.
That 5-0 win in 2014-15 was India’s last ODI series whitewash. Since they have beaten Zimbabwe 3-0 twice, as also beating them 5-0 in 2013.
Considering sterner opposition, India previously beat New Zealand and England 5-0 in 2010-11 and 2012-13 respectively, both series’ wins coming at home.
In fact, England are the only side to lose 5-0 twice to India (in 2008-09 as well) in the last decade, so the Men in Blue will be eager to add another entry to this short list.
Given the heat and humidity here, and the exertions of what has been a long if not arduous tour, the Indian team enjoyed an additional day off ahead of the fifth ODI.
There are no injury concerns and the same playing combination can expect to be retained tomorrow, with the likes of Manish Pandey, Kuldeep Yadav and Shardul Thakur given a further opportunity to impress.
Additionally, coach Ravi Shastri had spoken yesterday about the need to carefully manage workloads of bowlers across formats. It remains to be seen if Hardik Pandya will be given a break in this light, and Kedar Jadhav afforded another chance to impress, ahead of a long limited-overs’ schedule at home.
In light of the team’s experimentation and rotation policy, Ajinkya Rahane is the only batsman not to get game time in this series. With Rohit Sharma coming back and scoring runs, and Shikhar Dhawan in good form, the team management has so far not toyed with the opening combination.
Rahane, on the other hand, had won the man-of-the-series in the last ODI engagement in West Indies with 336 runs from five matches including a hundred and three half-centuries.
There is a chance that he could be given a game ahead of Dhawan in this final ODI, even if only to cement his spot as the designated third-choice opener.
This also puts the spotlight on KL Rahul who was given a middle-order role in the current ODI series, specifically keeping the preparation for the next World Cup in mind. So far that experiment hasn’t worked with Rahul returning scores of 4, 17 and 7 in his three outings.
Oddly enough, Rahul has fallen to Akila Dananjay in all three matches. While it will be a matter of concern for the team management, they will also want to afford him further opportunities to strengthen the case for a middle-order berth. Manish Pandey’s half-century in the fourth ODI gives the team additional leeway in this regard.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka are expected to make at least one chance to their playing XI. Skipper Upul Tharanga will be back in charge of affairs after sitting out the last two games owing to his suspension for slow-over rate. He is expected to slot into the middle order once again and Lahiru Thirimanne might be asked to open the innings instead.
It remains to be seen if the Lankan captain can inspire a serious challenge in this fifth ODI after a lacklustre summer. Most of all though, after two suspensions in three months, Tharanga will be looking to complete the 50 overs within the stipulated time.

Eid al-Adha is the second of two Muslim holidays celebrated worldwide each year.

The word “id” derived from the Arabic “iwd” means “festival” and “zuha” comes from “uzhaiyya” which translates to “sacrifice”.
Celebrations and Feast
It honors the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son, as an act of obedience to God’s command. Before he sacrificed his son In commemoration of this, an animal is sacrificed and divided into three parts: one third of the share is given to the poor and needy; another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors; and the remaining third is retained by the family.
People visit mosques and offer special prayers for peace and prosperity. After the prayers, sacrifices begin, which are then distributed among others. People meet and greet their loved ones, exchange gifts and feast together.Some of the delicacies that are prepared during this festival may include Mutton Biryani, Bhuni Kaleji, Mutton Korma, Mutton Keema, Chapli Kebab, Ghosht Haleem and Kheer.
Wherever you are in the world, & however you choose to celebrate today, I wish you and your loved ones a very happy & peaceful #EidAlAdha! pic.twitter.com/9G7KH9awND
