This asset has two coal-based power plants with 1,200 MW capacity in Cuddalore with the potential to add nearly 2,000 MW more, a captive jetty adjacent to the plant, and a captive coal mine in Indonesia. Adani Power and Jindal Power are also competing against each other for Lanco Amarkantak, which has two units of 300 MW operational and two units of 600 MW under construction. Vedanta Ltd had last year acquired a 1,000 MW coal-based thermal power plant for ?1,440 crore under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). Spokespersons of Adani, Vedanta and Jindal Power did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Other bidders for ITPCL include some non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), alternative investment funds (AIFs) and power companies. An IL&FS spokesperson said assessment of bidder eligibility is in progress.

Germany has a special work programme for Indian nurses looking for jobs abroad

The Triple Win Programme was established in 2013 by the German Federal Employment Agency's International Placement Services (ZAV) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH for the migration of qualified nurses with German companies.
