Pakistan’s first ever Drone Food Delivery ‘pandafly’, a great new initiative by Foodpanda

A leading online food and grocery delivery platform, foodpanda, introduced a customized drone which was successfully used on Friday to test food delivery.

Foodpanda Pakistan originally started with online food delivery and has over 15,000 restaurants available in top cities like Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi. Now it even offers grocery stores to shop from like Al-Fatah & Greenvalley. With the purpose of benefitting the people in the best way possible, foodpanda is now testing drone food delivery.

In association with the office of DCI (Deputy Commissioner Islamabad), the test flight of drone – named ‘pandafly’, took place in F-9 Park.

With the purpose of especially benefitting the customers living in the outskirts of the city and remote areas, the use of this advanced technology by foodpanda means faster deliveries will now be possible over longer distances.

Since they have limited food options in such local remote areas, with this drone, they will be able to order from main urban areas as well. The drone will drop off the parcel at the designated point in each zone, from where the foodpanda rider will pick the parcel and deliver it to the customer, completing the last mile of the delivery.

Communicating his perspectives, Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Hamza Shafqaat said: “E-commerce and the use of technology to serve the citizens is definitely the future and the Islamabad civil administration stands committed to supporting anyone who takes the initiative to provide greater convenience and facilities for the public.”

He said the district organization was taking on innovative advancements by launching the City App to offer 40 types of services in different areas to individuals, expanding its revenue collection from Rs4 billion to Rs10 billion annually.

Nauman Sikandar Mirza, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Foodpanda, at the launch said: “Foodpanda’s core ethos is to constantly innovate, stretch the limits and leverage technology to find great solutions for meeting the evolving needs of the people.

“Before we start actual drone deliveries for our customers, there are still many aspects that need to be thoroughly evaluated and locked in, including technical, operational and legal matters and we are vigorously addressing all these. The successful test flight and delivery today has been highly encouraging and proves we are on the right flight path.”

This a great example of how a company can keep progressing by using innovative methods to expand to all types of areas and maximum people rather than restricting to its initial target market. We hope to see such striking ideas in the future as well and for the proper start of this drone delivery initiative.

You might want to see carefully next time you spot something like this in the sky! Could be a UFO or maybe even you food delivery through pandafly!

STATE BANK OF PAKISTAN TAKES NECESSARY STEPS TO BOOST THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has changed its capital ampleness guidelines to offer further help to the improvement of real estate sector by dividing the relevant risk weight on ventures of banks/development finance institutions (DFIs) in the units of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).

The central bank brought down the appropriate risk weight from 200% to 100% on banks/DFIs’ interests in REITs, which raise financing from the overall population and organizations and convey these funds through investment in real estate properties.

This will enable the banks in promoting the development of real estate sector in the country, through the relevant changes in regulations banks/DFIs will now be able to increase their investments in real estate without having to grant a relatively large amount of capital.

It may not be out of place to specify that SBP has been finding a number of administrative ways to improve banks/DFIs’ cooperation in such areas through their financing and venture exercises, in accordance with the public authority’s different initiatives for the advancement of housing and development area.

Besides, the SBP has permitted the banks to count their investments in shares/units/bonds/TFCs/Sukuks given by REIT the executives organizations towards accomplishment of their targets for construction and housing finance. The changes in SBP’s capital sufficiency guidelines will facilitate banks to contribute towards a well-working capital market for the real estate sector.

“A Hotel Isn’t Like a Home, But Its Better Than Being A House Guest”

A guest house is a private house that offers accommodation services to paying guests, commonly those who are traveling. Guest houses are smaller as compared to hotels and almost any house can be converted into one.

In a city like Islamabad, guesthouses are quite popular. The way the city is planned, there are a few commercial sectors with most of the good hotels. That leaves quite a few sectors without a good, if any, hotel. This leads to guest houses being a popular alternative.

There are different guesthouses in the capital. Some can cost more than what smaller hotels cost while on the other hand, some are extremely affordable. Guesthouses are also another way for people with real estate investments to earn a good passive income. The initial investment can vary depending on what sort of guesthouse you’re thinking of making but the return in all cases can be good. Islamabad lacks good hotels while the good ones can cost a fortune, especially if your stay will be long. Guesthouses can help keep some pressure off your customer’s pockets and provide them with facilities similar to hotels.

Along with that, we have seen the general public prefer guesthouses more as compared to in the past. The nature of the upcoming generations as well as the pricing of modern day hotels has inclined people to prefer guesthouses as they are a cheaper option while offering similar facilities. People tend to save money and opt for guesthouses since it’s just to stay for a few nights.

Guesthouses are increasingly becoming popular and rightly so. In Pakistan, we don’t have a concept of motels either so guesthouses are a good cheaper alternate to hotels.

A typical guesthouse offers a private room, basic toiletries, towels, room service and a few offer breakfast as well. They also have a kitchen that offers a wide variety of food for the customers. Some lavish guesthouses in Islamabad also offer different cuisines. The guesthouses also provide security, parking and other basic necessities.

Taj Residencia is an upcoming society in the Islamabad-Rawalpindi region. It is located at Bhatta road, giving it a prime location right in between Rawalpindi and Islamabad, adjacent to I14, I15. It is owned by Sardar Group of Companies who gave us the Centaurus and now they aim to provide us with a huge housing project. They’re known to be very punctual with delivery time and provide quality product.

Their NOC has been approved by the RDA and that gave them the green light to fasten up the progress.

It’s location provides it very easy access to all the crucial parts of the twin cities, for example it’s just 15 minutes away from the motorway and the airport and the future plan of the road being linked to Kashmir/Sirinagr Highway is approved and will also make the distance a mere 15 minutes.

It has one of the most reasonable pricing of the Islamabad region with payment plans from 1 year to up to 4 years. The sizing starts from 5 Marla and goes up to 2 Kanal for housing projects. Old bookings are being sold on own while new block bookings are available at a cheap rate. The most exciting thing is that they claim to hand over possession of the plot sooner than any other society so it’s a great opportunity for investors.

Taj Residencia’s commercial project will be one of the most exciting things to look forward too. With the main highlight being the Centaurus 2, they’re going to build many high rise buildings offering investors a chance to earn a lot of money from different residential, shop and office projects. The apartments and plazas will be built in according to modern features and utilities. They will be breathtaking and eye catching marvels to say the least.

Taj Residencia is an organized and planned society with all their plans approved. They’re also aiming to provide all residents access to parks, schools and mosques at a walking distance. They will also plan their hospital in a way that it’s easily accessible from very part of the society. The luxury they promise and plan to provide is not only one of the best options but also the cheapest option in the twin cities.

Many individuals are gradually progressing away from a fossil-energized power network towards a clean energy solution – however the decision to Installing solar panels in Pakistan is mainly driven by power shortages and energy crises.

Specialists state that for solar energy to be financially feasible, there should be somewhere around four hours of pinnacle daylight – implying that the daylight should be bright and sparkling straightforwardly upon the introduced boards. The greater part of Pakistan has more than 300 bright days and most of the landmass gets over seven hours of day by day sunlight consistently, making the country an excellent possibility for solar based solutions.

Why Installing Solar Panel are important ?

However, solar panels still are not as common. This is primarily on the grounds that the expense of introducing a solar panel framework can be very high, going from 200,000 PKR to 2 million PKR, contingent upon the capacity and power of the boards. The fundamental cost comes forthright when purchasing the hardware. Notwithstanding the fundamental boards, other vital hardware incorporates an inverter, metering hardware and different cables and wiring gear.

As generating electricity from sunlight will be cheaper in the long run, onsumets should consider this as a one-time investment.

The scheme offers the following things:

A few of its benefits include

• Its self-sufficient and renewable nature makes it eco-friendly leading to a sustainable future.
• Long distance transmission can cause power misfortunes. Rooftop solar power systems help in increasing power efficiency.
• Solar panels are a one-time investment. You will have to pay lower electricity bills, depending on the size of panels.
• With the growing trend of ‘green living’, a house with solar panels has more value.

What you will need for the setup of Installing Solar Panels ?

• Solar Panels

• Battery

• Home Appliances

• Hybrid Invertor

Cost Of Solar Plant

• Price of solar plant may differ.
• You can get European (German) solar panels for Rs. 150 per watt, but that’s just additional cost as Chinese panels work fine.
• If your load exceeds 500 watts then you will have to use high-voltage inverters, that is 2 KW, 3kW or above. Here are estimated prices for bigger inverters:
• 1 KW Inverter: Rs. 26,000
• 2 KW Inverter: Rs. 35,000
• 3 KW Inverter: Rs. 45,000
• 4 KW Inverter: Rs. 60,000
• 5 KW Inverter: Rs. 80,000
• 10 KW Inverter: Rs. 200,000
• P.S. Prices of inverters also vary, depending on the quality and made. Prices mentioned here are for good quality Chinese inverters
• Number of batteries will also depend on the load you may require to store. Here’s the desi formula for calculating back-up timing of a battery:
• Amperes of battery x number of hours with sun-shine / load = Back-up time in hours
• Example: (200Amp + 200Amp) x 10 hours / 540 Watts = around 7 Hours

• Number of batteries will also depend on the load you may require to store. Here’s the desi formula for calculating back-up timing of a battery:
• Amperes of battery x number of hours with sun-shine / load = Back-up time in hours
• Example: (200Amp + 200Amp) x 10 hours / 540 Watts = around 7 Hours

• Life of solar panels is around 25years, however, efficiency or ability of solar panels can lessen with time. They work well even in hilly areas, such as Murree.
