After NTPC Green’s Rs 10,000 crore initial public offer (IPO) expected around November, almost a dozen more such issues are likely to hit the market over the ensuing months, with state-run energy companies seeking to bolster the capital bases of their newly incorporated green subsidiaries.
These IPOs are part of a larger plan of these companies – Coal India, ONGC, SJVN, NHPC, India Oil and NLC India – to create robust climate-friendly asset bases, and enjoy the tax reliefs for new greenfield ventures (see chart). While a clearer picture will emerge only later, the combined value of these IPOs could easily run to tens of thousand crores, according to official sources and market experts.
While the sequence of the IPOs will unravel over the next few months, the government, especially the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management has been encouraging the energy sector CPSEs’ plans to float subsidiaries and joint ventures to take advantage of the lower corporate tax regime of 15% for new manufacturing firms, sources said. These firms have set up new wholly owned green subsidiaries before the March 31, 2024 deadline for being eligible for the concessional corporate tax.

Besides taking advantage of low tax, another incentive to set up green JVs is that it’s easier to find equity partners for such businesses, than for the parent companies. The companies are channelling their retained earnings to fund their green forays, also because these debt-free assets are to easier be securitised, and monetisated, if need be.
In line with the government’s ambitious RE capacity addition target and the goal of net zero emission by the year 2070, energy sector CPSEs are undertaking renewable projects or pooling their existing renewable assets into their new subsidiaries, analysts said.
NTPC is on the path of building up RE capacity of 60 GW by 2032 and NTPC Green Energy is its flag bearer in renewable energy journey with an operational capacity of over 3.4 GW and 26 GW in the pipeline including 7 GW under implementation.
“IPO is one of the good ways of monetisation. NTPC Green Eenrgy’s model could be emulated by the likes of NHPC, SJVN and NLC ,” a senior official said.
SJVN Green Energy Limited (SGEL) has around 3.6 GW assets currently in the pipeline which are expected to be commissioned in the next two years. SJVN is expected is expected to incur more than Rs 20,000 crore capex in FY25 out of which more than Rs 15,000 crore is expected to be incurred for renewable capacity addition entirely through SGEL.
“All the energy companies which are in brown and also those which are green already, even they are doing further green and into other green areas from wind to soar to hydrogen,” the official said.
NHPC, India’s leading hydropower company, has set up a wholly owned subsidiary NHPC Renewable Energy Ltd (NREL) which be used to house already commissioned solar capacity, and the ones in the pipeline after they are commissioned. NHPC has a total installed capacity of 7097.2 MW of renewable energy (including wind and solar) through its 25 power stations, including 1520 MW through subsidiaries.

The Content Overseas Distribution Agency (CODA) announced the arrest and said the man had uploaded the video, which included the ending of the game, without permission from the rights holder Nitroplus, on top of which he had monetised the video and received ad revenue.
The same man is alleged to have uploaded other videos containing copyrighted content such as the anime version of STEINS;GATE and Spy×Family. CODA describes these videos as “fast content”, part of a popular genre in Japan that condense down a given work, anything from games to TV shows to movies, often including captions and / or narration that summarise what’s going on for the viewer. Netabare is its own category within this of videos that show and detail endings or plot twists.

Previously players could get more alpha United Earth Credits (aUEC) through several exploits, the most prevalent being simply duplicating ships to collect more items and aUEC which they could then sell for real money on eBay or elsewhere on the internet. To make matters worse some cheaters didn’t actually need to do much on their end thanks to a bug which basically enables players to sell cargo more than once.
“What’s particularly annoying is that it almost takes more work to not use the dupe,” one player says in a Reddit thread. “It’s super frustrating to have to keep storing the C2 at one place and then claim it from another just to try to clear out the “phantom” duped inventory so you can pick up the cargo for the next leg of your trave…

If you’d been paying close attention to the Minecraft rumor mill, this will likely confirm some of your suspicions started by hints from developers. Mojang originally announced the archeology feature in 2020 and then postponed it for several major update versions. It’s back at last though, as Mojang has confirmed today in an announcement post.
“With this feature, players will find a new type of sand—suspicious sand—near desert temples,” Mojang says. “Using a newly introduced tool, the brush, players can brush away the suspicious sand blocks to reveal hidden tools, bones, sniffer eggs, and pottery shards. The new pottery shards contain partial patterns, and four shards can be put together to make a …

Yes, it’s taken five iterations of the new Ada architecture to finally get down to a new GPU priced at the same level as the graphics card it’s replacing.
And then the sixth tier card, the RTX 4060, is going to be on sale for less than the RTX 3060 launched at. Ah, graphics cards in 2023. They’re a treasure, aren’t they?
The RTX 3060 Ti launched at the same $399 sticker price back in 2020, and next week will see the launch of the RTX 4060 Ti with roughly 17% higher gaming performance. That’s the straight raster performance boost the Ada architecture is delivering in this new generation of mid-range GPU, though there is the extra speed bump you get from the Ada-only magic of Frame Generation.
In games that support it you’re then looking at a 70% performance boost and that’s a lot more tantalising an upgrade tha…
