"India’s 10,900 Crore PM E-DRIVE: Powering a Greener Future with Electric Mobility!"



India is accelerating towards a greener future with the PM E-DRIVE Scheme, approved with a 10,900 crore outlay to revolutionize electric mobility. This initiative focuses on:


1. Subsidies/Demand Incentives : ₹3,679 crore allocated to encourage adoption of e-2Ws, e-3Ws, e-ambulances, e-trucks, and more, reducing emissions and costs.


2. E-Vouchers: Aadhaar-authenticated e-vouchers streamline the EV buying process, enhancing transparency and ease of access.


3. Electric Ambulances : ₹500 crore for e-ambulances to lower healthcare's carbon footprint and innovate public service.


4. Incentives for Scrapping Old Trucks: Encourages replacing polluting trucks with e-trucks, promoting a sustainable logistics sector.


5. Vehicle Testing Infrastructure*: ₹780 crore dedicated to enhancing testing standards for safety and performance in EVs.


6. Procurement of E-Buses: ₹4,391 crore for 14,028 e-buses, improving public transport and reducing urban emissions.


The PM E-DRIVE Scheme not only supports economic growth and job creation but also commits to environmental sustainability and technological advancement. This landmark initiative positions India as a leader in the electric mobility revolution, significantly contributing to global climate goals. Together, we can build a cleaner, healthier future.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:PLA BOTTLE

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Ever wondered how we can reduce plastic pollution in India? The Mysuru-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), affiliated with the DRDO, has launched an eco-friendly remedy with the introduction of biodegradable water bottles. Crafted from sustainable Polylactic acid (PLA) material, these bottles not only combat plastic waste but also contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint. The best thing about this bottle is its all-encompassing sustainability approach – the bottle, cap, and label are all compostable. This innovation, derived from 100% bio-based and renewable sources, sets us on a path towards environmental conservation and fosters a greener and more sustainable future.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:High and low shear rate changes in Rheology

-

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share If a relatively high Mw grade flows from thin to thick, as shown in the picture, and if the time needed to fill the thick section is way shorter than the average polymer relaxation time, the polymer will not be able to reach its higher viscosity (corresponding to higher thickness/lower shear-rate). I am assuming here the polymer reached equilibrium low viscosity in the thin section, say for instance because it is much longer. Any pressure prediction not accounting for transient rheology would then overpredict the pressure to fill.Of course the diverging flow will further complicate the situation and mess with the molecular orientation created in the thin section, but to what extent ? Since this is more of a reasonable "conjecture", don't take this for granted, and discuss or share your opinion in the comments. There are hundreds of Rheology papers on the "4:1 contraction flow". Not sure I have ever seen any on the..."1:4 expansio
