Consultation · TRAI, the telecom regulator

TRAI seeks comments by 30 October on draft audit manual setting procedures for DRM-based television distribution systems

The draft details checks against Schedule X requirements, audit scope and timelines, and responsibilities and reporting formats for distributors, broadcasters and auditors. It is proposed guidance for the existing annual audit mandate, not a new operative rule.

Consultation

India’s draft National Steel Policy targets 604 million tonnes of crude steel capacity by 2047, while projecting coking-coal demand will exceed 236 million tonnes a year

The draft also projects finished-steel demand of 505 million tonnes and exports of 45 million tonnes by 2047. It identifies raw-material security as a constraint: India currently imports about 92% of its coking coal, and proposed responses include expanding washeries and acquiring overseas assets.
