Why there is an urgent need for data centres to go green
environmental impact of data centres, which consume vast amounts of power and water, makes it imperative for companies operating these facilities to prioritise sustainability efforts. Data centres are significant consumers of electricity. According to estimates, they use approximately 2% of the world’s power and emit CO2 that is equivalent to the airline industry’s emissions; the airline industry is a highly carbon-intensive business. Moreover, data centres’ energy use is known to double every four years, resulting in one of the fastest-growing carbon footprints. By adopting sustainable practices and technologies, data storage solution companies can play a significant role in mitigating such impact. To fulfil such goals, storage solutions company Western Digital is looking to tackle power consumption challenges, including cooling — a critical aspect to data centre design — operational cost and hardware reliability.

From the ashes of defunct telcos, there’s space for a new operator to rise
Also read | Allot or auction satellite telecom spectrum? Signal clarity, please Yet these are valuable bands because by squatting here, these companies have pushed up the costs of the competing bands for other telecom operators, and thus for the consumers. The never-ending legal disputes ensured that the department of telecom could not put these bands up for auction. Of course, the government, in its ceaseless attempt to maximise the revenue potential from auctions in the sector, possibly did not mind.

As macro climate changes, GenAI will also scale up: Infosys CEO Salil Parekh
Infosys is pivoting to a GenAI first company, Salil Parekh, chief executive and managing director of India’s second-largest software services firm told ET. In a wide-ranging interview with Sameer Ranjan Bakshi, Beena Parmar and Surabhi Agarwal, he spoke of his plans to prepare the $18.6 billion software services giant — through its Topaz platform — for the GenAI-led transformation that will take root as global macro-economic concerns ease. For now, as clients postpone large digital transformation projects amid uncertain demand for technology services, Infosys will choose profitability over growth. The 59-year-old — whose second tenure as Infosys CEO extends until 2027—said his spare time these days is devoted to experimenting with different AI tools. Edited Excerpts The current financial year was supposed to be one of recovery, how has it been so far?

Sovereign yield falls to near 1-year low post RBI's dividend payout
surplus dividend transfer by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to the government stoked expectations of lower North Block borrowing — and, consequently, a narrower FY25 fiscal gap. A fall in government bond yields lowers borrowing costs across the economy as sovereign debt yields are the benchmarks for determining the price of corporate borrowing.

New fund transfer norms led to savings: Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman
₹25,500 crore in the last few years.Sitharaman said in a social media post that new norms were introduced for transferring Central grants to autonomous bodies and various implementing agencies from FY18, leading to savings of more than ₹15,000 crore till date. This is due to a new interface to release funds ‘just in time’ to these bodies through their accounts with the Reserve Bank of India, which helped in lowering the borrowing cost for the Central government. This mode of transfer, using what is called a treasury single account, is also now leveraged for releasing funds for Central sector schemes to implementing agencies, having an outlay of more than ₹500 crore.
