Savitri Woods New Plant Underway in Chamarajnagar

Savitri Woods, the maker of the renowned “Wigwam plywood,” new plant to manufacture plywood panels and allied products is underway. This new facility is being developed on a 15-acre plot at the Badanguppe Kelamballi industrial area in Chamarajnagar district. The project, which is expected to employ 515 individuals, is being established at a cost of INR 50 crores.

Savitri Woods: Pioneers in the Plywood Industry

Founded in 2003 in Hoshiarpur, Savitri Woods has become a leader in the plywood industry through its commitment to technology and innovation. From its inception, the company has utilized automated machinery sourced globally, enabling it to become India’s largest plywood manufacturer and win the hearts of consumers nationwide.

World-Class Product

The founders of Savitri Woods highlight a stark difference between plywood manufacturing processes in India and other developed countries. While around 90% of plywood in India is produced using conventional methods dating back to the 18th century, approximately 90% of plywood worldwide is made using modern, state-of-the-art technology. Savitri Woods has embraced these advanced technologies and processes, setting a benchmark in the industry with their world-class products.

Import Substitute Products

India has seen a trend where quality-conscious buyers import plywood from countries like China, Russia, Europe, Myanmar, Malaysia, and Indonesia due to the lack of standardized quality plywood domestically. The plywood industry in India is dominated by unorganized and small-scale manufacturers. However, Savitri Woods is confident in meeting the expectations of sophisticated Indian customers. Their plants, equipped with advanced technology, produce plywood of international standards, living up to their brand theme, “WIGWAM – PLY AS IT SHOULD BE.”

Coal India Limited Bags Critical Mineral Asset, Winning Graphite Block in Madhya Pradesh

In a significant milestone, Coal India Limited (CIL) has successfully ventured into the domestic critical mineral sector by emerging as the preferred bidder for the Khattali Chotti graphite block in Alirajpur district of Madhya Pradesh. This achievement marks CIL’s first non-coal mineral mining venture, following the tranche two forward auction held on July 9 by the Ministry of Mines.

CIL won the bid by quoting a mining premium of 150.05 percent of the value of mineral dispatch, which it will pay to the State of Madhya Pradesh. The company is set to formally receive the letter of intent after depositing performance security. A composite license will be issued to CIL within a year, pending completion of formalities under the Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) timeline.

The Ministry of Mines had invited bids from potential participants for the tranche two mineral block auction, where CIL, under its diversification portfolio, successfully secured the bid. This move positions CIL to play a supporting role in the domestic critical minerals sector. Based on five bedrock samples from the Khattali Chhoti block, the fixed carbon content ranges from 1.99% to 6.50%. The total area of the block is nearly 600 hectares.

India currently imports about 69% of its graphite needs, encompassing natural, synthetic, and end-use products. The limited number of players in the graphite mining industry provides opportunities for new entrants. Graphite is crucial as an anode material in lithium-ion battery manufacturing due to its relatively low cost and energy density. With the electric vehicle market and energy storage systems rapidly gaining traction, the demand for lithium-ion cells—and consequently graphite—is expected to rise.

Owning a graphite asset will give CIL an advantage in supporting the green energy transition. The company’s decades of mining experience further bolster its capabilities in this new venture. The market size for graphite is projected to expand significantly, with absolute demand expected to increase at a rate of 25%-27% by FY 2035 from current levels.

This development highlights CIL’s strategic move to diversify its portfolio and contribute to India’s critical mineral resources, supporting the nation’s growing energy and technological needs.

Project Nexus: Revolutionising International Payments for India and Beyond

Project Nexus: Revolutionising International Payments for India and Beyond

When UPI is there why India needs Project Nexus? – 

The Unified Payment Interface (UPI) is an interface that facilitates instant money transfers across banks in India. At a time, the UPI can transfer money (minimum Rs. 1 to maximum Rs. 100,000) from one bank account to another within the same bank OR another. 

Anyone with an account in any bank has to download and install UPI apps – Paytm, PhonePe, Bhim, MobiQuick, etc. UPI can be used to make retail payments within India, however, when it comes to cross-border international payments, UPI cannot be used. Project Nexus is the answer.

International payment networks cannot accept UPI payments.

For the International payments, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express cards are used. That means, only their networks are used for international cross-border payments.

The flip side is, that the processing fees of these network companies are high, and payments are time-consuming, as it involves a currency conversion. Also, card ownership in India is very minuscule. 

What is the alternative?

RBI and other central banks of Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines came together with an initiative called Project Nexus (PN) spearheaded by the Innovation Hub of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). 

The objective of the PN is to make International cross-border retail payments transparent, instantaneous, and cheap. 

Project Nexus (PN) in detail

Many countries have their own version of UPI OR instant payment system (IPS) for immediate money transfers across banks locally. For example, Singapore has “PayNow”, Malaysia has “DuitNow”, Thailand has “PromtPay”, the Philippines has “Higala” and Indonesia has “BI-Fast”.

The objective of PN is to enable instant cross-border retail payments by interlinking the above-mentioned instant payment systems (IPSs). It can also connect many other country IPSs. 

India already signed a MoU with these countries, so why is PN required?

India signed a one-to-one MoU with the above countries to link its UPI with the other country’s payment system. However, to interface UPI with other countries’ instant payment systems (ISP), there is a lot of work to be done and it becomes tedious. Because of the complexity, the transaction speed goes down, and the cost goes up. 

Project Nexus (PN) is the master interface that connects all other payment interfaces like UPI, PayNow, DuitNow, etc. Also, the PN acts as a traffic police deployed at the intersection regulating the flow of the payment data. 

So, every country’s payment system has to talk to the PN in the language it understands, and based on the instruction given, the PN transfers data to the destined payment system instantaneously. If any transaction involves currency conversion, the PN will calculate the exchange rates beforehand and let the payer know about it.

The payer can pay the exact amount over his payment system and within seconds the transaction is processed and completed. 

Other countries can also connect to PN.

India, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, and Indonesia are the founding members of the PN that facilitates easy and cheap cross-border retail payments. Going forward many other countries may take the membership of the PN OR can just use it for international payments.

The project is slated to go live at the end of 2026. By the end of this decade, more than 150 countries are expected to jump on this bandwagon and benefit the most.

Benefits of PN

  • Speed and Efficiency

One of the main benefits of PN is the significant reduction in transaction times. Domestic payments through IPSs are usually completed within seconds. By connecting these systems, cross-border payments could also be processed in under a minute, compared to traditional banking systems that may take hours or even days.

This speed is achieved through the continuous operation of FPSs, which operate 24/7, unlike traditional central bank payment systems that only operate during business hours.

  • Lower Costs

The cost of cross-border International payments can be prohibitive due to various fees, but Project Nexus can help reduce these costs. IPS participants generally incur minimal fees, and by interlinking these systems, the overall cost base for international transactions can be kept low.

This makes it more feasible for banks to offer these services even in countries where they lack a physical presence or direct partnerships.

  • Enhanced Transparency

Traditional cross-border payments are often opaque, with fees accumulating at each stage and leading to uncertainty about the final amount received. Project Nexus promises greater transparency, with upfront fee calculations and immediate confirmation or failure of payments.

  • Increased Reliability

Cross-border payments through traditional banking channels can be prone to delays and failures, leaving senders and recipients in the dark. Project Nexus ensures that payments are completed or failed within seconds, providing immediate feedback and reducing the risk of lost or delayed transactions.

  • Benefits for businesses

“Project Nexus can boost international trade and commerce by facilitating quicker, cheaper, and more reliable cross-border payments, benefiting businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).”

Conclusion

Project Nexus will certainly be a game-changer for the world. RBI did the right thing to co-promote the project and come 2027, people could buy products online across the globe and pay for them in a jiffy and not worry about exchange rates. This will make cross-border selling and buying that much easier.
