How Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s solution for America’s ‘China chip problem’ may not actually work

Vamsikrishna03 mins mins

Nvidia’s new location verification software for AI chips faces a critical flaw: it’s optional for customers. This voluntary system, meant to prevent advanced chips from reaching restricted nations, relies on smugglers to install monitoring tools, a paradoxical approach. The software, designed for fleet management, lacks enforcement, raising doubts about its effectiveness against illicit chip diversion….

. NEW DELHI: A parliamentary standing committee on Wednesday highlighted regulatory and implementation challenges in securing environment and forest clearances for coal mining projects and called for structural reforms to streamline approvals as India targets major production expansion.The findings are part of its report on “expediting and simplifying the environment and forest clearance process for coal mining projects,” which was tabled in both houses of Parliament. The panel, headed by BJP MP Anurag Thakur, mentioned in the report that difficulty in securing land for compensatory afforestation, a mandatory requirement under forest clearance rules, was one of the major challenges and suggested a slew of measures to overcome it. The coal mines that are providing tap water to 100s of villages | I Witness The committee said the identification of land was “critical and time-consuming,” with delays exacerbated by the absence of pre-identified land banks in coal-bearing states.While guidelines already permit land banks under state forest departments, the committee recommended that the ministry of environment, forest and climate change and the ministry of coal actively pursue states to develop land banks of degraded forest and suitable non-forest land to speed up approvals. While India has already reached a record 1 billion tonnes of coal production in FY 2024-25, the ministry of coal aims to raise output to 1.5 billion tonnes by 2030.The committee also flagged inconsistency in compensatory afforestation costs across states, which currently range from Rs 9 lakh to Rs 22 lakh per hectare. This variation has created uncertainty and disputes for project developers. It sought explanations for the disparity and urged steps to bring greater uniformity.The report highlighted that obtaining environmental clearance and forest clearance remain a protracted process. On average, EC approvals take 15–18 months for central public sector undertakings and 26 months for private coal blocks. Forest clearance procedures take even longer – 24–30 months for central PSUs and up to 34 months for private miners. The committee called for “concerted efforts” to reduce the timelines for both public and private sector projects.While acknowledging initiatives like PARIVESH, an integrated online portal for environmental, forest, wildlife, and coastal regulation zone clearances, and the single window clearance system, the report said several key approvals—such as those from the directorate general of Mines Safety and the central ground water authority—continue to be processed separately. For complex cases involving multiple agencies, the panel recommended a “harmonised coordination mechanism” to prevent duplication and ensure accountability.The committee underlined that outdated and inconsistent forest land records remain a major source of delay. Since land is a state subject, diversion orders and tree-felling permissions vary widely. It urged coal-producing states to digitise Jamabandi/Khasra maps to clearly demarcate recorded forest, deemed forest and non-forest land, and to comply with recent Supreme Court directions to create consolidated digital forest records, including for unclassed and community forests.About the AuthorAtul MathurAtul Mathur, Deputy Metro Editor (Senior Assistant Editor), at The Times of India, has over 26 years of experience in journalism.

Court denies interim bail to Luthra brothers (Image credits: IANS) NEW DELHI: Delhi court on Thursday denied transit anticipatory bail plea of Saurabh and Gaurav Luthras, owners of the Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub in Goa where a massive fire last week killed at least 25 people.The brothers sought four weeks of transit anticipatory bail on Wednesday, seeking protection from immediate arrest after their return to Delhi from Thailand. The brothers were detained by Thai police early on Thursday at the request of Indian law enforcement agencies. According to officials, their deportation from New Zealand has also been initiated. Goa Club Owners Saurabh & Gaurav Luthra Arrested in Phuket After Deadly Fire Additional Sessions Judge Vandana reserved the order till 5 pm after hearing the arguments of the advocates who appeared for the Luthras.One of the counsels for the applicants argued that they were willing to return immediately and face the investigation, and urged the court not to “punish them at the threshold”.He said the brothers had approached the Delhi court at the earliest opportunity and undertook to join the probe without delay. “If I land in India tonight and the investigating officer (IO) tells me to appear at midnight, I will be there,” he said.The counsel said that transit bail was not a determination on merits but a limited protection to ensure safe access to the right court.He cited a Supreme Court order permitting an accused abroad, against whom Blue and Red Corner notices were contemplated, to return to India with temporary protection. “I only seek protection for a few days to reach the court safely. When a citizen is willing to submit to the law, the Court must extend a helping hand, not a fist,” he said.Opposing the plea, the counsel for the state of Goa argued that the Luthra brothers had left Goa immediately after the fire and had been “evading the legal process”. He said the law does not aid those who refuse to submit to summons or warrants.Referring to judicial observations, the counsel said, “Once it is shown that a person is attempting to evade the process of law, the court should not come to his aid at all.”He added that anticipatory bail is a discretionary relief and cannot be granted to those who have “created obstacles in the execution of warrants or concealed themselves”About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
