Russia’s Energy Ministry signed an agreement this week with India’s Steel Industry Ministry to increase Russian coking coal supply to India up to 40 million tonnes per year.

The deal was inked at the Russian Energy Week Forum, held from October 13 to 15 in Moscow. According to Russian Energy Minister Nikolay Shulginov, Russia currently supplies around 80 lakh tonnes of coal to India. The pact is also meant to stimulate enterprises in Russia and India in the development of coal deposits, the development of coal logistics and infrastructure and the promotion of R&D in production. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
