ISLAMABAD: The government on Monday approved, in principle, the New Gwadar International Airport project at a cost of Rs55.4 billion, about 147% higher than the first revision, and also sanctioned a reduction in the scope of an important Gwadar road scheme. The decisions were taken by the Central Development Working Party (CDWP) - a body having the mandate to scrutinize and approve development schemes and refer the mega ones for final ratification of the Executive Committee of National Economic Council (Ecnec). Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Jehanzeb Khan chaired the CDWP meeting. The CDWP took up the New Gwadar International Airport project, which would be built with the help of Pakistan government funds and a Chinese grant of 1.52 billion yuan or Rs34 billion. The total cost of the project is Rs55.4 billion. The new Gwadar airport is considered important for the development of Gwadar Port and its free zone. The Ministry of Planning is now gradually taking back the control of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) after the CPEC Authority law lapsed four months ago. The government has also brought back Hassan Dawood Butt to handle affairs in the next CPEC Joint Cooperation Committee (JCC) meeting. JCC is scheduled to meet this month and will take important decisions on the future roadmap of the multibillion-dollar strategic bilateral initiative. Butt had earlier been the deputy project director of the CPEC support project but moved to Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Board of Investment. The original Gwadar airport project had been approved at a cost of Rs7.5 billion in 2010 and the revised one was cleared in 2015 at a cost of Rs22.2 billion. The CDWP approved the second revision on Monday with a cost of Rs55.4 billion, higher by Rs33 billion or 147% than the 2015 cost. A key reason behind the increase in cost was that the new plan was based on a detailed design of the project. The CDWP directed the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to review the possibility of c

The GST is still several crucial steps away from reality but the Modi government is moving methodically for its rollout from April 1 next year. On September 1, 2016 Odisha became the 16th state to ratify the Constitutional Amendment Bill that will pave the way for the passage of the Goods and Service Tax (GST) Bill, thus, fulfilling the constitutional requirement of at least half of India's 29 states approving the bill. The President has, since, signed the 122nd Constitutional Amendment Bill into law soon. This has allowed the government to proceed with the formation of the GST Council, which will decide on contentious issues like the GST rates, the mechanism to settle disputes and also come up with a draft GST legislation. Thereafter, the central and state governments will have to pass the central and state GST legislations and announce the date from which it will be implemented.

In a momentous launch at the Central Hall of the Indian Parliament with a speech by the Finance Minister and the Prime Minister of India, the GST regime was ushered in at the stroke of midnight on July 1, 2017. While the mammoth task for the Central and State Governments has just concluded, as far as trade and industry are concerned, the journey has only just begun.

The Duty Drawback Scheme introduced for incentivizing and facilitating exports has been continued under the GST regime.

The global solar PV glass market is expected to be valued at USD 33.7 billion by 2025, according to a report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing social and political consensus aimed at adopting clean energy sources is expected to drive the market in the coming years.Solar PV glass is being increasingly used in various applications such as residential, non-residential and utility sectors. Tempered glass, in particular, is being employed in roofing applications as well as in the manufacturing of glass windows. In developing countries, regional governments are taking various initiatives to install solar panels not only on newly constructed buildings but also on old building structures. Government initiatives to achieve a sustainable future with clean energy are anticipated to positively drive the market over the forecast period.Residential application segment is witnessing growth due to the rising penetration from untapped markets such as Asia Pacific as well as Central & South America.
