#DidYouKnow that #LithiumInIndia was DISCOVERED back in 1999. GSI published “Final report on Base Metals and Lithium in Salal Area... Field Session 1995-96 and 1996-97”. INSTEAD @PIB_India said “inferred estimate of lithium had emerged through field investigations since 2018-19”
It takes 500,000 gallons (2,273,000 litres) of water to mine one tonne of lithium. In Chile's Atacama Salt Flats, lithium mining has been linked to declining vegetation, hotter daytime temperatures and increasing drought conditions in national reserve areas.
I hope that India is careful the ENVIRONMENT impact of mining the #LithiumInJammu. We have seen what has happened in other countries as well what has happened the FRAGILE North East area due to massive building of Roads, Bridges & Tunnels
With all these countries looking to develop their lithium industries, the world faces two very different choices about where it sources the critical mineral: from hard rock, as in Australia, or from salt-rich groundwater as in Chile
sustainability study on the lithium supply chain that assessed fuel use, power sources and energy intensity, found that hard-rock lithium will be responsible for 10 million tonnes of CO2 by 2030, with brine responsible for around 2.5Mt.

The world's Li resources are found at~59% in brines,~25% in minerals, and the rest in clays, geothermal waters, and oil field brines

DID YOU KNOW ? One abundant option would be seawater, in which the lithium concentration is around 0.18 ppm, which gives a total global lithium amount of 230 Bt.

This enormous amount makes the extraction of lithium from seawater indispensable and available to most nations

The world didn’t care much about Lithium right upto 2016. Mining lithium is bad for the environment in general.

What an #Insult to the people of #Kerala ?
A good sign of SAFETY in any state is the level of Women Education & the Level of Women in the INDUSTRIAL WORK FORCE. Women don’t go to work in INDUSTRY for two reasons - Education & Safety.
Of the 1.6 million women workers across India, 0.68 million (43 percent) were working in the factories of Tamil Nadu alone. In fact, nearly three-fourths (72 percent) of all women working in industries were employed in the four southern states of TN, Karnataka, AP & Kerala

#IMPORTANT The #MSCI Weight Reduction in #AdaniGroup is Just the Start of more events to come.

I highlighted the likelihood of #MSCI in the #THREAD BELOW
1/n what did MSCI Say ?
"MSCI has received feedback from a range of market participants concerning the eligibility"
“Characteristics of certain investors have sufficient uncertainty that they should no longer be designated as free float pursuant to our methodology.”
=> basically MSCI felt there is truth in what #Hindenburg portrayal of a "Close Relationship" with the FIIs
MSCI Also Said
"This determination has triggered a free float review of the Adani Group securities" which will be informed in Mid-feb and implemented by End-feb

I personally know of a Operations consultant- a super guy - who was working on ACC and AMBUJA cost cutting programs for over 30 months starting 2019… Covid didn’t stop him but Covid just delayed his program which was to be taking just 18 months.
He was deputed by the previous CEO of HOLCIM India and the consultant worked on both ACC and AMBUJA. In his view ACCs plants had a structural problem which would keep the Gap between ACC and say ultra tech. So am surprised that after he left this COST improvement came in 6 months
There needs to be more explaining on what drove these sharp cost improvements.

#SHOCKER !!

#Budget2023 #CAPEX growth of 30% Year over Year is just a game of #Smoke & #Mirrors (the hallmark of #Modinomics) .... if you recall, I mentioned that "Devil Lies in the Detail"
Entire Story in 1 Chart. Combines Central Govt & PSU Capex excluding dirty tricks. Image
@nsitharaman budget numbers for CAPEX includes items below
1) 50yr Loans to the States (much of this is consumption by state & double counted)
2) Loans to Food Corp India (Rations & MSP)
3) Capital Infusion is Loss making PSUs to pay Salaries & O/p Losses (BSNL, Air India) Image
These 3 items are NOT Capex .... so when does an Apples to Apples comparison, these adjustments needs to be made...

In short Central Govt & Off-balance sheet or PSU Capex is ONLY 3.8% of GDP (Lower than pre-covid) vs say 4.5% of GDP in FY10 Image
