Study effects of Hydroelectric Plants : Ravi Chopra

• The report said that all projects of more than 2 MW, which entail tunneling, barrages and construction of reservoir, would require prior environment clearances from the Central ministry

• The panel also observed that since environmental flow is very less in Uttarakhand's rivers, it should be ensured that there is minimum of 50 per cent flow in the lean season and 30 per cent during the non-monsoon period.

• suggests establishing micro hydel projects, solar projects, stopping illegal mining, strengthening Van Panchayats, and demarcating cultural eco-sensitive zones for the conservation of biodiversity

Review the Framework of Access to Domestic and Overseas Capital Markets, Indian Depositary Receipts : M S Sahoo

• To make DR more liberal

• Depository receipts can be issued both for raising capital through new shares or against existing or secondary shares, and the issuance may be either sponsored or unsponsored.

•  allow overseas issuances of depository receipts with underlying debt by listed as well as unlisted entities.

• Modifying the current capital control regime known as permissible securities of Bharat Depository Receipts into 2 levels:  Level-I being restricted to sophisticated investors and Level-II being made available for all investors, including Indian retail investors.

• Create level playing field between an Indian security and a domestic DR.

· FCCBs have been left out of this report


India currently allows only level-3 ADRs, which involve capital raising and listing on regular exchanges and greater disclosures, including costly compliance with the US laws. Allowing level-1 and level-2 access will make the market more attractive for Indian companies.
