#India's Largest Bank Commits $12. 5 Billion For Renewable energy Funding Private sector project developers in India rapidly growing renewable energy would be happy to have the backing of the country largest bank
The State bank of india (SBI) has committed to provide $12. 5 billion in debt funding to renewable energy projects over the next few years.
The bank hopes to provide debt financing to 15 GW of renewable energy projects most of which are likely to be based on wind and solar energy.
Indian banks are known to question the financial viability of projects secured at seemingly low tariffs. Solar power projects have received especially unfavourable response from the Indian banks as solar photovoltaic power tariffs have been falling
while wind energy tariffs have risen slowly but steadily over the last few years. The lending rates in India are also significantly higher than other countries.
SBI and other national banks usually provide debt at interest rates as high as 11%to 12%.
%Compared to this, development banks like Kfw and US Export-Import Bank and multilateral banks like Asian Development bank and the International finance corporation provide funding at rates as low as 4%.Over the last few years some private banks in India have signed deals with development banks to provide loans
at concessional rates. The Indian Renewable energy Development Agency (IREDA) is expected also to provide loans at low rates following its recent agreements with the European Investment bank, Japan International Cooperation Agency,
and the US Export-Import Bank. The renewable energy sector in India has faced collateral damage for years due to the poor financial health of the power sector as a whole.
Several power sector companies are reeling under millions of dollars of losses, and banks have exhausted their lending limits to the power sector.
Unfortunately, renewable energy is considered a sub-sector to the power sector for lending purposes in the Indian banking regime.
As a result, the Indian banks are unable to disburse any fresh funds to renewable energy projects.
This announcement by the country largest bank and the recent funding agreement worth $4 billion with the US is expected to boost the growth of the Indian renewable energy sector r

#Chinese researchers at Tzekwan Technology unveil face-recognition ATM MACHINE By Edward Chow For Mailonline Published: 13:02 GMT, 1 june 2015 Updated:
13:48 GMT, 1 june 2015 Chinese engineers have developed a cash machine that uses facial features-instead of the traditional PIN number-to identify card owners.
and Hangzhou-based Tzekwan Technology, is able to scan the users'faces to ensure they are the genuine holders of the bank account.
When a user inserts a bank card into the device, the built-in camera will immediately start scanning his or her facial features.
'says a bank spokesman to Shanghai-based Dragon TV. However, this also means only the owner of the card-not even their friends or family-will be able to get money from these cash machines.
Gu Zikun, Chairman of Tzekwan Technology, claims the device is the world's first cash machine to be equipped with the facial recognition function.
Gu says:''Our facial recognition technology has passed the certification by authoritative industry experts and is authorised to be used in the financial services industry.'
'The cash machine also represents China's first independent intellectual property rights in financial security protection. Apart from the innovative recognition system, the device can also exchange Chinese Yuan to as many as 256 foreign currencies.
China's central government has placed an emphasis on information and financial security. Gu Zikun says this new machine has passed its certification
and will soon be used in the market place. e
