India's Russia oil imports jumped tenfold in 2022, bank says www.bbc.com

India's imports of Russian oil rose tenfold last year, according to Indian state-controlled lender Bank of Baroda.
The figures show Asia's third largest economy saved around $5bn (£4bn) as it ramped up crude purchases from Moscow.
It comes as Western countries have been cutting their imports of energy from Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.
Russia has been selling energy at a discount to countries like China and India, which is the world's third largest importer of oil.
In 2021 Russian oil accounted for just 2% of India's annual crude imports. That figure now stands at almost 20%, Bank of Baroda said.
India's purchases of oil from Russia during the last financial year, saved it around $89 per tonne of crude, the figures show.
Despite pressure from the US and Europe, India has refused to adhere to Western sanctions on Russian imports. New Delhi has also not explicitly condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
India has defended its oil purchases, saying that as a country reliant on energy imports and with millions living in poverty, it was not in a position to pay higher prices.
Since the Ukraine war began, Europe had imported six times more energy from Russia than India, the country's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said in a TV interview last year.
"Europe has managed to reduce its imports while doing it in a manner that is comfortable," he said.
Mr Jaishankar added: "If it is a matter of principle why did Europe not cut on the first day?"
With no end in sight to the conflict, some analysts expect Russia to continue to offer cheap oil to Asia's biggest energy importers.
"We expect Russian crude intake to remain limited to these two countries [India and China], sustaining the steep discounts," Vandana Hari, from energy analysis firm Vanda Insights told the BBC.
India's oil refiners will continue to maximise their profit margins for as long as they can, but will simply "go back to their usual crude diet" if the sanctions were to be lifted, she added.

On the 10th of May, 2023, the Chairman of the State Great Khural, G. Zandanshatar, addressed a gathering of employees from the local administration organizations of the capital city. The primary focus of his presentation was on the reform of civil service, the Law on Ethics of Civil Servants, and legal reforms that are slated to be discussed in the regular spring session of the State Great Khural.
In his address, the Chairman highlighted that the parliament is actively working towards a package of laws that combat corruption and reform the political party system, as well as legal reforms to revive the amendments to the Constitution of Mongolia. Mr. Zandanshatar stated that discussions are currently ongoing for a set of draft laws related to the legal status of whistleblowers, regulation of public and private interests in public service, and prevention of conflict of interest, along with the National Anti-Corruption Program.
The Chairman also emphasized that the immediate goal of the parliament is to enhance governance and implement economic and human development reforms and that three packages of laws composed of ten laws are included in this framework.

Reducing Traffic Congestion in Ulaanbaatar with RFID System www.montsame.mn

Digitalization and Smart technologies can play a crucial role in tackling the issues that Ulaanbaatar city is facing. As 50 percent of the total population of Mongolia resides in the capital city, Ulaanbaatar is grappling with numerous challenges, such as air pollution, traffic congestion, and inadequate infrastructure.
The Capital City Department of Digital Development and Information Technology has been developing a unified transport system to be the next E-Mongolia of the road sector. The objective is to improve the registration and monitoring process of 654 thousand vehicles in Ulaanbaatar by utilizing the RFID system. Currently, 161 RFID antennas have been installed throughout the capital city and the system is expected to significantly improve the detection of traffic violations.
Moreover, a live traffic map is slated to be launched this year. This Map will show real-time traffic information, including public transportation, the location, and route of child buses, traffic congestion, and available parking spaces. Dissimilar to existing systems like Google Maps and SmartBus, the information will be presented in extensive detail on the Map, enabling passengers to plan their entire route in advance, beginning with selecting the type of vehicle.
Chairman of the Standing Committee on Innovation and Digital Policy of the State Great Khural E. Batshugar recently worked in the Capital City Department of Digital Development and Information Technology and he highlighted the importance of using an RFID system to effectively manage traffic and reduce congestion. The Chairman also stated that the Standing Committee on Innovation and Digital Policy would actively collaborate for creating Smart-Ulaanbaatar and leveraging ongoing efforts and introducing advanced technologies with policy and legal support.

Electricity Tariff Twice Cheaper than Its Cost www.montsame.mn

Chairman of the Executive Office of the Energy Regulatory Commission B. Bolor-Erdene informed journalists today about the real cost, consumption and demand of electricity in Mongolia.
The cost of electricity is currently MNT 224 for one kWh and it is sold to consumers for an average of MNT 211-213. Household consumers purchase one kWh of electricity for MNT 141-142. This is 58 percent lower than the actual cost. As for heating energy, consumers get 55 percent lower of its cost; loss is proportionate. Last year the energy sector’s operating loss amounted MNT 187 billion.
The losses are increasing. This leads to such risks as an increase in debts, inability to carry out necessary maintenance and repair at thermal power stations and heating and electricity networks, and delay of equipment renewal.
This situation will negatively affect the reliable supply of electricity and heat to consumers. The urgent need to bring the price of energy to its real cost is obvious. However, electricity consumption in 2022 has increased by 5.8 percent from the previous year amounting to MNT 10.3 billion nationwide. Out of total power, 79 percent is produced domestically, and 21 percent is imported. Here, electricity from Russia and China dominates.
To build a new energy source, tariffs must be approved according to the Energy Law. If the price is lower than the cost, it naturally will negatively affect on investors. Therefore, tariffs should be kept at a level that supports and satisfies investment.
Consumers really need to save electricity, in particular, during peak hours. In general, the Law on Energy Conservation defines the consumers who are obliged to save energy. To be clear, the threshold of their electricity saving has been updated by the Government's resolution this year. There are some 330,000 users who have such an obligation. They consume 40 percent of the total energy. In total, there are 812,000 electricity consumers and some 450,000 heat consumers nationwide.
The Law specifies that responsible consumers should have an energy efficiency manager. These managers promote, coordinate and implement ways to save energy. In addition, the Energy Audit Organization is operative.
There are 114 auditors engaged in energy saving, advising consumers on electricity efficiency, conducting audits, and determining causes of energy loss. The Commission aims to bring the auditors to the international level through training and implementing relevant projects and programs.
