>RIL-BP's 30 mmscmd of gas, plus ONGC's 14 to 15 MMSCM of gas plus Cairn India's up to 4.5 mmscmd of gas, all of it together will cause a step-function change
8And the demand side stays some what fuzzy.
8There are around three large projects where the total demand can go up to 10 mmsmcd. But start-up date is now put off, and may now be well into to 2022 becasue of big mess ups in construction and contracted, not helped by two rounds of COVID, when more gas will come in from indigenous sources.
8There are huge upsides from ONGC's West Coast fields, like the Daman upside project, all held up by the government for now because of low prevailing prices. But that cannot be held up for too long as gas is lying there waiting to be tapped.
8The gas pricing regime needs a complete overhaul or else there will more issues ahead.

Plastic recycling has become a serious business.
8About 95 percent of the value of plastic packaging material, or $80 to $120 billion annually, is lost to the global economy when it is not recycled after its first use. This is particularly true for low and medium-income countries.
This indicates there is a significant economic opportunity for recyclers in a country such as India, even if only a fraction of this value is captured. Viewing discarded plastic as an opportunity for value creation is also an important step in India's transition towards more circular economy models of material and resource use.
8And the scope and the challenge are enormous.
8There are huge digital dividends to be reaped.
