Gypsum will be produced from FGD (flue gas desulfurization) system of UPCL. Currently 2 x 600 MW UPCL thermal power plant produces 0.3 MMT of flying ash. And 1.2 MMT of flying ash will be available after increasing capacity by another 2 x 800 MW. 80% of flying ash will be used by Adani cement plant and remaining 20% will be used by by others.

Alupa Floating Filmcity
I was thinking about what are the facilities we should have in 'Kaup Seafront Filmcity' so to make it unique in the country.
Startup/Hobby Theme Park within filmcity may lead to innovations in movies also. For example, innovative gadgets like kittyhawk can be used in films. Just imagine hero or heroine, who happens to be a hobbyist, flying on kittyhawk firing at terrorists' or smugglers' boat or ship. Only thing is Kaup MLA should take interest to materialize the dream of people of his constituency for having a filmcity at Kaup and airport at Padubidri. By the way, why there is no news on progress made so far for construction of airport? Whether feasibility study is done or whether DPR itself is getting ready? Apart from Kaup Marine Hobby/Startup Theme Park other Hobby/Startup Theme Parks are 1) Bagundi - Clean Energy/Technology & Petrochemicals 2) Deralakatte or Pilikula - Medical/Healthcare 3) Manpalla - Medical/Healthcare 4) Puttur - Agriculture & Food Processing And then Kundapur, Karkala, Uppinangadi & BC Road will also have hobby theme parks or clubs. So far no statement on this by Kaup MLA or Udupi MP. Neither on Padubidri Airport work commencement. I don't know what is the achievement of Udupi-Chickmagalur MP so far. I don't even think for bringing 'Gems & Jwellery Institute' to Udupi she had made any contribution and we all know about who is behind 'Startup Coast'. Since the central government plan is to develop Kaup as health city (hopefully including health knowledge city) I have changed the title of the filmcity as 'Alupa Floating Filmcity'. This filmcity can be floating in sea near Kaup or anywhere in the coastal districts. Since Indian government has proposed plan to build floating cities developing a floating filmcity will not be a problem. Like the historical Alupa Kingdom this filmcity will also shine for more than thousand of years producing Tulu, Konkani, Beary, Hindi and also Kannada and other language movies. I think we can have more than 5000 acres floating filmcity in the sea. But the mall planned by an NRI can be within Udupi city itself including all kinds of film schools and film study institutes. This report here is only a temporary setback to the coast as the CM favouring this city for filmcity is going to lose power in another two months and since the party coming to power will favour the coast. This is because the party coming to power will not win any seat in that region and it will win maximum number of seats in the coastal districts. There is also no threat of bollywood copying any idea from here. The filmcity definitely is coming to Karavali. Don't worry Karavalites! Will Film City project be launched before elections? - In the past also foundation stones were laid for so many things before election and then abandoned. In this case also the next government will decide the location of the film city. Tuluvas don't worry coastalwood will have its own film city soon. |
B R Shetty to set up highly advanced multiplex at Udupi
Quote:
Quote:
Karnataka government on one hand talks about eco-system. But on the other hand wants to promote a film city in a city where film industry does not even exist. We have eco-system ready with coastalwood. And coastal Karnataka can easily expand to both Kannada & Hindi films production also as we have enough stars & directors in both Bollywood & Sandalwood. But strange are the ways in which politics work. What we need to produce is very good Hindi Script Writers so that we can contribute to Hindi Film, Comics, Cartoons Industry in a big way and earn enough from it. Don't we have enough people knowing Hindi? And we need then dubbing artists also. Hope Film Schools planned along with multiplex will achieve this. By 2020, India will be the only country in the world to have 1,000 8K screens: Indywood founder Sohan Roy Quote:

Airports Authority of India planning to set up air cargo hub in Udupi district
Quote:
Why not 'Health Knowledge City' along with 'Health City'? What we can wish for is all medical R&D, medical related IT/ITES works and medical devices manufacturing industries and pharmaceutical industries to be located in air cargo hub SEZ itself. Medical devices & parts, pharmaceuticals, jewelry (from Jewel Park), food, flower, textiles, garments, ship/boat spare parts, electronics, nanotech products, printed materials can be air cargo. What about 'Film City'? As I said earlier even 'Karnad Sadashiva Rao Marine Knowledge City', 'Petroleum & Energy Knowledge City' can come up near the airport in Mangaluru Taluk. More land should be handed over to 'Belapu MU Campus'. Even 'Finance Knowledge & IT City' can be considered near airport. So, if added both for DK & Udupi, requirement is 2,000 acres at Puttur and 2,500 acres in Udupi/Karkala/Kundpura for SAZ/SEZs. Whether land after acquisition will be handed over to private investors? Can we expect 'Indian Institute of Logistics'? Whether 'Shambhavi Waterway' would be developed as a part of air cargo hub /SEZ development? How many dams are planned along Shambhavi? |
