  • Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India Is an Important
    Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India is an important part of the nation's economy. Since theeconomic liberalisation of the 1990s, development of infrastructure within the country has progressed at a rapid pace, and today there is a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water and air. However, the relatively low GDP of India has meant that access to these modes of transport has not been uniform. Motor vehicle penetration is low with only 13 million cars on thenation's roads.[1] In addition, only around 10% of Indian households own a motorcycle.[2] At the same time, the Automobile industry in India is rapidly growing with an annual production of over 2.6 million vehicles[3] and vehicle volume is expected to rise greatly in the future.[4] In the interim however, public transport still remains the primary mode of transport for most of the population, and India's public transport systems are among the most heavily utilised in the world.[5] India's rail network is the longest and fourth most heavily used system in the world transporting over 6 billionpassengers and over 350 million tons of freight annually.[5][6] Despite ongoing improvements in the sector, several aspects of the transport sector are still riddled with problems due to outdated infrastructure, lack of investment, corruption and a burgeoning population. The demand for transport infrastructure and services has been rising by around 10% a year[5] with the current infrastructure being unable to meet these growing demands. According to recent estimates by Goldman Sachs, India will need to spend $1.7 Trillion USD on infrastructure projects over the next decade to boost economic growth of which $500 Billion USD is budgeted to be spent during the eleventh Five-year plan.

  • Techno-Economic Investigation of Solar Powered Electric Auto-Rickshaw for Sustainable Transport System
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 4 May 2017 doi:10.20944/preprints201705.0033.v1 Peer-reviewed version available at Energies 2017, 10, , 754; doi:10.3390/en10060754 Article Techno-Economic Investigation of Solar Powered Electric Auto-Rickshaw for Sustainable Transport System S. Aravindhan 1, K. S. Reddy 1,* and Tapas K. Mallick 2 1 Heat Transfer and Thermal Power Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai – 600036, India; [email protected] 2 Environment and Sustainability Institute; University of Exeter, Penryn Campus, Penryn, Cornwall TR10 9FE, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel: 91- 44 – 22574702; Fax: 91- 44 –22574652 Abstract: The technologies influencing alternative ways of transportation are augmenting in recent years due to increasing urbanization and motorization. In this paper, a solar powered electric auto- rickshaw (SPEA) is designed and developed for Indian conditions. The developed vehicle is comprehensively analyzed techno-economically for its viability in the Indian market. The performance analysis of SPEA results in an optimal charging rate of 2 kWh per day with an average solar irradiance of 325 W/m2 in a typical sunny day. The discharging characteristics are studied based on different loading conditions. The vehicle achieved a maximum speed of 21.69 km/h with battery discharge rate of 296W at 90kg load and also reached a maximum discharge rate of 540W at 390kg loading with a maximum speed of 12.11 km/h. The environmental analysis of SPEA indicated yearly CO2 emissions of 1,777 kg, 1,987 kg and 1,938 kg using Compressed Natural Gas, Liquefied Petroleum Gas and gasoline engines respectively can be mitigated using SPEA.

Approved By : Dr. Rudi Meyer (Director, Master of Design Program) Professor Michael LeBlanc (Division of Design) Designing The User Experience Of Auto-Rickshaw Commuters In Mumbai City Thesis project based on the Auto Rickshaw transit system in Mumbai, India. A thesis project presented to The School of Graduate Studies - Nova Scotia College of Art & Design in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for The Master of Design Degree Program. By Jesal Chitalia NSCAD University, Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada April 2018 This thesis focuses on auto rickshaw transport in Mumbai city and the challenges faced by its users. Auto rickshaws have survived in the country since the era of the British; they are small three-wheeled vehicles which serve as a paratransit system in Mumbai city and are used by the majority of city commuters. The basis for this research initially stemmed from my passion for designing for the society and improvising the current systems. As the world moves further into the digital age, generating innovative technology and digital- born content, there is a significant demand and need in India for this transition from the manual to the technological. The project has been undertaken as a requirement for the NSCAD Masters of Design program. My research was formulated together with my respectful mentor, Dr.

    1 Revue de presse Semaines 49 & 50 (3-16 décembre 2018) Kannur: The long wait is over, and the dream has come true. Finally, Kannur International Airport (KIAL) has taken wings with the maiden flight by Air India Express to Abu Dhabi. Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan and union minister for civil aviation Suresh Prabhu flagged off the first aircraft at 10.06 am on Sunday, carrying 185 passengers, thus crossing yet another milestone in the aviation history of the nation, by commissioning the fourth international airport in the state. Later, addressing a public meeting, Pinarayi Vijayan, who formally inaugurated the facility, said when the idea of the airport evolved way back in 1990s, there was apprehension whether it would be practical to have an airport here. But now the airport has been materialized and it has the potential to become one of the most important 4-5 airports in the country. He also said the Kerala government is ready to take over Thiruvananthapuram airport, since the central government has decided to privatise it. In the case of Kozhikode airport also the government has the same stand, as it has experience in managing airports, said the chief minister. Union minister Suresh Prabhu, who was the chief guest on the occasion, said this airport is a very good model of development with the central and state governments having stake in it. Observing that connectivity is a pre-requisite for development, the minister also said Kerala has the highest potential for growth. Though Air India Express and Go Air have started operation in the beginning, more companies would start operations in the coming days, said the officials.

  • INDIA the Economic Scenario
    ` ` 5/2018 INDIA Contact: Rajesh Nath, Managing Director Please Note: Jamly John, General Manager Telephone: +91 33 40602364 1 crore = 10 000 000 Fax: +91 33 2321 7073 1 lakh = 100 000 E-mail: [email protected] 1 Euro = Rs.78 The Economic Scenario Economic Growth The much-anticipated New Industrial Policy, which will replace the 27-year-old existing policy and pave the way for promotion of new technology and reduced regulations, has been placed before the Union Cabinet for approval. The New Industrial Policy is now just a Cabinet nod away. Its implementation will lead to job creation and modernisation of units, and will encourage entrepreneurs to experiment with new technology to improve efficiency. All ministries and departments concerned were kept in the loop throughout the drafting process. Hence, there were no major changes proposed during the inter-ministerial consultations. This will be the third industrial policy drafted in independent India. The first was announced in 1956, and the second, in 1991. The draft industrial policy floated in August 2017 by the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion aims to create jobs over the next two decades, promote foreign technology transfer and attract $100 billion FDI annually. While the policy does not suggest direct changes in laws such as those governing labour, it is likely to propose the establishment of a body with representation from the Centre and the States to work on changes whenever required. It also suggests strengthening of municipal bodies. To promote the use of new technology such as robotics and artificial intelligence, the policy is expected to emphasise promoting R&D and set up an institutional mechanism to encourage commercial utilisation of research done using government funds.
