Om…thanks…nice information.i’d think export hub for hydrogen is less probable as such only future holds reality …there r many articles on it…but in short “water & sun, key ingredients for green hydrogen is local deposits for all hence can always be produced locally “
However value additions like engineering,EPC, ammonia,methanol,urea, ethanol …i.e. anything through hydrogenation & tecnology could become export strength.
Reliace already has erected hy gas filler at jamnagar.thermax is working on EV ship.

Latest interview of Mr. Khoraiwala to NDTV.

1. Nothing much new, he could not quantify the market size of Nafithromycin. This drug will most likely be launched in FY25. WCK 5222 will mostly like be launched in FY26.

2. Wockhardt has two patents for Nafithromycin. One will expire in 2031 and second will expire in 2037.

3. Also for WCK 5222 they have two patents. India patent will expire in 2031/32 and I am assuming for other countries, it will expire in 2037.

I think Metropolis is in bit soup. FY23 Annual Report , MD has proudly declared this at page number 21 “On the PPP front, we secured a small new contract in Delhi, which is a growing market for us,
making deeper in-roads in our non-core geographies. We have partnered with Mohalla clinics in Delhi to deliver good quality test reports to those patients who cannot afford it” .
Per vigilance 85616 tests were conducted between July and September 2023 at M/s Metropolis Healthcare Ltd..
Question is has Metropolis uniquely identify patients for whom they have collected sample. Already 3 odd crore provision in Q2 FY24 after employees faking financial entries and whistleblowing came into picture . All is not well with Metropolis. Management should come clean as news is spreading in media for last 3-4 days.

Our Coal reserve can fuel us for next 350 years

I was bit skeptical when the Coal minister said in an ETNow TV interview that India has sufficient Coal reserve which would meet our energy needs for the next 350.years.

Then , I did a little bit of research and found out that he is right.
As per GSI data which is also available in a wiki India has a coal reserve of 352.13 billion metric tons (proven) as of April 2021 & lignite reserve of 46 billion metric tonnes. pl refer wiki given below and the Minister interview in ETnow.

During 2022-23 , our coal consumption was approx 900 million metric tonnes and during 2023-24, it may be estimated at 1000 million metric tonnes approx, which is 1 billion metric tonnes.

So the minister is right. He further said that we cannot just ignore our resources and allow it to become mud.

Then what about petrol / diesel /crude oil reserve of the world…well, the crude reserve is going to last for only 47 years more. Pl refer link of “world meter” below. 47 years . .most of us will definitely survive to see the change – no diesel …no petrol m.

So the way forward is to use coal sustainably, create an ecosystem so that we can Gasify Coal, use CCUS and get whatever we want …Grey hydrogen, Blue hydrogen , urea , DAP, methanol , ethanol…

A lot of work is happening on gasification of coal with carbon capture. A lot of start ups are coming up.
IIT’s are getting involved.
UK & India have signed a collaboration to research and co-operate with each other in this area.
BHEL, Thermax are already at the top of it and others like ABB, Siemens , L&T , Reliance are likely to join.

So, We would be the export hub for Renewable like Solar Wind , hydro after converting in to Green hydrogen , ammonia and Gasify Coal with CCUS to (1) fuel our power plants (2) use Blue hydrogen from coal for converting into urea , DAP in fertiliser plants (3) methanol, ethanol from coal for fueling automobiles (4) blue hydrogen as feed stock to Oil refineries.

So, Coal is here to stay …we cannot write off…coal will give us everything we need for our energy needs in a sustainable manner.

IC engines are not going to die so soon… piston connecting rod crankshaft are going to be there …so all auto companies and ancillaries with respect to IC engines will not die so soon.
even after petrol diesel is over, Along with EV , IC engines will coexist to run on renewables like ethanol, methanol, Bio diesel , CBG, LBG , Hydrogen green and blue.
