MUMBAI, May 6 (Reuters) - India is planning to reopen more than 100 coal mines previously considered financially unsustainable, as a heatwave-driven power crisis forces the world's third-biggest greenhouse gas emitter to double down on the fuel after months of low consumption. State-run Coal India But a recovery from the pandemic followed by an unrelenting heatwave boosting air conditioning use, has revived demand and the government is forcing utilities to step up imports and Coal India to ramp up production to address supply shortages. On Friday, the coal ministry's top bureaucrat said the world's second-largest producer, importer and consumer of coal after China expected to increase output by up to 100 million tonnes in the next three years by reopening closed mines. "Earlier we were hailed as bad boys because we were promoting fossil fuel and now we are in the news that we are not supplying enough of it," Coal Secretary Anil Kumar Jain told a conference aimed at attracting more private players into coal mining. "This is a very courageous move by the ministry and Coal India to offer very quickly large supplies of coal." Months of declining fuel inventories at power plants culminated in the worst power crisis in more than six years in April, disrupting industrial activity and forcing India to accelerate coal mining. A resurgence in India's hunger for coal could mean peak consumption is years away. The use of the fuel for power generation is seen growing at the fastest pac...

FILE- A member of the Kuki tribe cries during a sit in protest against the killing of tribals in their northeastern home state of Manipur, in New Delhi, India, May 29, 2023. Fresh violence erupted in India’s remote northeast with rival ethnic groups firing at each other, leaving at least nine dead and some injured, officials said on Wednesday. Security forces rushed to Khamenlok village in Manipur state’s Kangpokpi district after clashes broke out on Tuesday night between Kuki and Meitei communities. Manish Swarup/AP NEW DELHI (AP) — Rival ethnic groups fired at each other in new violence in India’s remote northeast that left at least nine people dead and some injured, officials said Wednesday. Security forces rushed to Khamenlok village in Manipur state’s Kangpokpi district after clashes broke out Tuesday night between the Kuki and Meitei communities, said L. Sushindro, a state government minister. Police found nine bodies early Wednesday, a police officer said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to reporters. Three people were reported missing, the officer said. On Wednesday, a mob burned the home of state Industry and Commerce Minister Nemcha Kipgen in Imphal, the state capital, the officer said. Kipgen, a Kuki, and her family were not at home at the time of the attack. At least 100 people have been killed in severe ethnic clashes in Manipur state since May 3, and thousands of homes have been burned and shops and businesses vandalized. Author...

CHANDLER, Ariz., June 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- From everyday applications such as mobile phones and banking to complex underwater defense missions, the need for synchronized precise timing and frequency solutions is critical to safeguard and process data as intended. Many of these applications rely on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to provide that precise time and frequency, but GNSS is susceptible to jamming and spoofing attacks. To provide multiple industries—including telecommunications, data centers, metrology, aviation and defense—with a long-term and precise timing and frequency solution, Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announces the 5071B cesium atomic clock that can perform autonomous time keeping for months in the event of GNSS denials. Microchip’s 5071B is the next-generation commercial cesium clock to the existing 5071A, which has been the primary contributor to international time for more than three decades. The 5071B is available in a three-unit height (3U) 19-inch rackmount enclosure, providing a compact product to work in environments where it can be easily transported and secured versus a larger alternative designed specifically for laboratory environments. The 5071B has upgraded electronic components to address possible obsolescence or non-RoHS circuitry. The product provides 100 ns holdover for more than two months, maintaining system synchronization when GNSS signals like GPS are denied. For example, this capability would enable...
