March 28, 2007, 8:53 amADB sees slower economic growth for India
March 28, 2007, 8:51 am
Economic growth in Asia's developing nations is set to ease from an 11-year peak, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) said on Tuesday, adding the region needed to put its burgeoning foreign exchange stockpile to better use.
Although home to about two-thirds of the world's poor, the region has witnessed sharp economic growth in recent years, peaking at an average 8.3 per cent in 2006, the highest since 1995, the Manila-based institution said in its annual outlook.
Growth in Asia's developing economies, including powerhouses China and India, is expected to ease to a brisk 7.6 per cent in 2007 and 7.7 per cent in 2008, it said.
"These projections imply that growth will move onto a more sustainable footing and that overheating pressures that surfaced in 2006 will begin to abate," it said.

A’bad-based company gives dome-shield to Indian Army
March 28, 2007, 8:50 am
An Ahmedabad firm is supplying high tech domes to Indian Army divisions in forward posts and divisional headquarters in Delhi, J&K and Gujarat. The Indian Navy has already secured some of these high-tech domes and is in the process of securing more for its bases in Vizag and Jamnagar.
These domes, made of a space-age composite material are bullet-proof and fire-proof. They have served their purpose in operations of the US, German and Japan Armies.
Manufactured by the Ahmedabad-based Domes International Ltd (DIL) these domes are made of organic material and composite polyester resin mixed with glass.
Originally designed by the German Army after the World War-II, this material, according to a certification from the Director General of Quality Assurance can take a load of upto 4 tonnes per square-inch.
“This is possible because of the unique properties of the compound and the traditional dome structure that distributes the weight evenly. The composite material panels used in the domes have a level-II ballistic resistance and are fire retardant. It can withstand blasts,” said Col (retd) R N Ghosh, VP-Marketing and strategy for DIL.
The structure requires little maintenance since it is not affected by mildew and saline environment and is resistant to rot and rust. These structures are a good shield against UV rays.
