ValPro is pleased to have advised on yet another milestone in APSEZ’s growth journey

 

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) has signed an agreement with Indian Oil Corp Ltd (IOCL) towards augmentation of IOC’s crude oil volumes at Mundra. IOCL shall expand its existing Crude Oil Tank Farm at APSEZ’s Mundra Port, thus enabling it to handle and blend additional 10 mmtpa crude oil at Mundra. This will support IOCL’s expansion of its Panipat Refinery (Haryana). IOCL is raising the capacity at its Panipat Refinery by 66% to 25 MMPTA to meet India’s rapidly growing energy requirements. IOCL, which accounts for nearly half of India’s petroleum products’ market share, has a refining capacity of 80.55 MMTPA and over 15,000 KM of pipeline network.
IOCL is currently operating a crude oil tank farm in an exclusive area in Adani’s Mundra Special Economic Zone, consisting of 12 tanks with a total capacity of 720,000 KL. The addition of 9 new tanks will augment the storage capacity to 1,260,000 KL, thus making Mundra Port by far the largest port based crude oil storage facility for IOCL.

“Mundra Port is a major economic gateway that serves the northern hinterland of India by providing multimodal connectivity. It gives us immense pride to strengthen our partnership further and support IOCL, which plays a vital role in ensuring the energy security of the nation. As IOCL’s trusted long-term partner, APSEZ is well equipped to handle the additional 10 MMTPA crude oil at our existing single buoy mooring (SBM) at Mundra.” said Mr Karan Adani, CEO and Whole Time Director of APSEZ.

ValPro was the exclusive advisor on this transaction between APSEZ and IOCL.

Our director Anshuman Khanna with the TotalEnergies and Adani Group Team for their first biomethane production project in India facilitated by ValPro

After Texas, let’s head to India for a new adventure! Our joint venture along with the Adani Group in India, Adani TotalEnergies Gas Limited, has recently signed an agreement in partnership with one of the country’s most important cow sanctuaries: Shri Mataji Goshala. With 55,000 cows housed in this safe haven, this step is a milestone for the development of our first biomethane production project in India!

Moving forward, the biomethane production facility, with a capacity of 81 GWh, will be constructed and operated by ATGL in Barsana, south of Delhi. Thanks to Goshala, we’ll have as much as 44,000 tons of cattle manure in inputs per year, which represents approximately 50% of the facility’s needs. The rest of the inputs will be sourced from neighboring local farmers.

Aarav Unmanned Systems’ Small Drone First To Be Certified By Government

  • DGCA certified AUS’s drone to be compliant with India’s NP-NT protocol
  • Previously, DGCA has certified three drones in the micro category
  • Small drones have wider use-cases and carry a bigger payload than micro drones.

India’s civil aviation authority directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) has certified a drone in the small drone category developed by Bengaluru-based Aarav Unmanned Systems (AUS).

Aarav’s drone was found to be compliant with the drone guidelines set by the government under the ‘no permission, no take-off’ (NPNT) protocol for commercial drone flights within the country.

AUS is the first drone startup to be granted the certification under the small category as all previous certifications were for drones under the micro category.

The DGCA categorises drones based on weight and payload capabilities. Drones weighing between 2 Kgs and 25 Kgs are considered small drones, while micro drones are ones which weigh between 250 g and 2 Kgs, including the payload.

Small drone capabilities are much higher than the Micro drones as indicated by the increase in their payload size and weight. These often have higher quality sensors on board and larger payloads, which are in line with what businesses and industries working with drones seek, AUS said.

The company works with large mining, infrastructure, power and survey companies, including several state-run agencies and is likely to strike up more deals after the DGCA certification. With the launch of the new drone, the company aims to increase its 250% year-on-year (YoY) growth rate to 400% YoY.

The certification for AUS’ small drones has been one of the concerns over the government Drone Regulation 1.0. Last month, Singh told Inc42, that the government has been urged to include categories such as small drones for certification so that startups and individuals can apply for these permits and serve the larger use-cases that these drones offer.

The Drone Market In India

In 2018, India had legalised flying commercial drones and announced the Drone Regulations 1.0

The regulations had banned the use of drones for the delivery of goods and food. However, the government had hinted at including a clause for ecommerce and food delivery sectors in the draft of  Drone Regulations 2.0

Food delivery giant Zomato has also been testing out the drone-based deliveries in India. In 2018, the company has acquired Lucknow-based drone startup TechEagle Innovations, which is believed could boost drone delivery plans by creating a hub-to-hub delivery network.

Amazon has been preparing to handle drone delivery operation in India since 2017. The company had filed a patent application in India for the technology that lets its drones identify objects and locations mid-air for targetted deliveries.
