The Ministry of Industry as part of its annual survey would be awarding special tax incentives to companies showing progressive reductions in their carbon footprint with the the companies in the highest bracket of emission savings record subject to receiving special recognition as well as other incentives including and not limited to interest free loans for further expansion and development. Companies and industries seeking loans for implementing eco friendly business practices would receive preferential interest waiver subject to extensive year end audit of the assigned funds to ensure proper management and allocation of said funds.

Industries found to have increased carbon emission or in the lowest bracket of emission savings record would be subject to punitive measures to bring them on par with national emissions average. Loans provided to these companies would eb subject to greater scrutiny and even direct intervention in the form of punitive auditing and administrative intervention by Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Transportation announces a development program to usher in a new era of development and prosperity to Karachi, one of the most strategically vital port cities of the Kingdom with immense possibilities for increasing trade and commerce in the region. Though one of the oldest ports in the region, Karachi had been languishing for a while in a state of lethargy. To change all this, massive investments are going to be made in the various core industries of Karachi, particularly the Karachi Port, Shipyard and the automobile industries of Karachi. The immense possibilities in financial industry of Karachi would also be explored in a massive way with a new aid program sponsored by State Bank of Tripunithura. The road and rail links of Karachi would be improved to create a massive commerce-logistics highway between Karachi and the other principal cities of the Kingdom. Maritime transportation links would be set up through the extension of the Sagarika Oceanic Ferry Network to start from Karachi instead of Kandla. Mahindra would be establishing a new manufacturing facility in Karachi to manufacture the Scorpio SUVs and Tatra Automotive Works is also expected to invest heavily in the automotive spares industries of Karachi. The support needs for Gosree City already has provided a vital boost to the economy of the city but more business is on the anvil with the ongoing redevelopment and expansion of the Karachi International Airport into a Grade A Airport by Department of Air Transport. National Railways Network is doubling the existing railway tracks providing connectivity to the Punjab and Gujarat Provinces while the Department of Roadways is constructing a new 6 lane superhighway to connect Karachi with Rawalpindi, Jaipur and Ahmedabad.

All these coordinated measures are expected to greatly improve the stature of Karachi among the principal port cities of the world.

[center][u][b]ALMATY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM[/b][/u][/center]

The complete administrative and economic consolidation of the Almaty Province back to the Kingdom has now resulted in the launch of the new integrated Almaty Development Program to raise the technological development across Almaty on par with the rest of the nation. While Almaty certainly did not lack of suitable infrastructure dating from the days when it was earlier a province of the Kingdom unprecedented technological advancements while it remained separate from the Kingdom creates some disparities which would be alleviated in this program.

Principal amongst these would be the renovation of the Dostyk - Alashankou logistics corridor. The road and railway lines in this major transportation corridor would be renovated and new spurs to extend the High Speed Rail Corridor through Astana would be made. The Kapchagay Dam would be renovated to increase the power supply for the province while also commissioned 2 new Thorium power plants in the province.

State Bank of Travancore would also be promoting heavy investments into the Almaty Stock Exchange which has recently been on a down trend. With a stagnance in principal markets of South and West India, Almaty and other Central Asian Provinces of the Kingdom are being mooted as the new business destination. Tourism and Information Technology is one of the key industries being tasked for targeted development with Special Economic Zones being mooted at Taldykorgan for a Central Asian IT hub. Mahindra Airlines Ltd, a subsidiary of Mahindra and Mahindra has expressed interest in opening a new manufacturing plant in Almaty for a variety of aviation components.

With the restoration of the Province of Bengal the various Ministries are swinging into action to smoothly reincorporate the infrastructure of Bengal into the rest of the Kingdom. Without doubt many of the technological features of Bengal would be unmatched in the rest of the nation but the primary infrastructure like Railways, Roadways, Airports, Seaports and the High Speed Rail Corridor are being reintegrated into the national network. Bengal would for now use its own power supply system but soon the installed infrastructure of Bengal Province would be linked with the regional power grids of the nation. Ministry of Interior is organizing a massive enfranchisement program to ensure that every citizen of Bengal would be issued their Citizen's Representation ID Card, a massive feat for the entire populous province which is likely to be managed by an influx of thousands of Administrative Officers assisted by tens of thousands of reserve soldiers from National Defense Corps drafted for this civilian administrative function.

The complete reintegration of Bengal Province has now been completed by the Ministry of Interior. The roadways and the railways have once again been fully integrated with certain technologies from the former Ceylon now been integrated with the National Railway Network, however for now the locomotives and carriages would all be of the NRN standards. Another major work had been the integration of the power grid of Bengal, nearly 430 GW of power in the form of 15 Fusion Power Plants which has now been accomplished with continued extension of technical expertise from Guyana. The addition of this extra power has been a tremendous boost to the regional power grids. However the glaring incapacity of the Kingdom of Cochin to build and operate Fusion Power Plants of its own is becoming a major drawback to the growing power ambitions of the National Power Grid. A special representation is being created by the National Power Grid under Ministry of Interior with Varma Institute of Fundamental Research to get authorization for starting of indigenous Fusion power plant projects so that Fusion self sufficiency may be achieved. The High Energy Research Center in Tok, Tibet had already achieved great advances in Fusion technology and is ready for commercial experimentation with a full fledged Fusion power plant, authorization for which must however come from the King himself. Thus for this infrastructural leap, Mr. Revin George, the Ministry of Interior is leading a delegation of engineers and scientists to meet with the King of Cochin himself.
