3rd Unofficial Test: Rain-hit Day 3 Leaves India As Bowling Plans Frustrated
Unofficial Test: India As preparations for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand suffered a setback as persistent rain wiped out the entire Day 3 play in the third four-day fixture against New Zealand 'A' here on Monday, leaving little opportunity for the visitors to get valuable match practice before the senior teams red-ball assignment begins on November 19. The washout has pushed the final match of the three-game series towards a draw, with Indias management also missing out on an important opportunity to assess the readiness of several first-choice bowling options, particularly Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja and Prasidh Krishna. Bumrahs return to competitive cricket was among the major talking points of the fixture. The fast bowler had not featured since the Asian Games in early October and was subsequently rested for the white-ball assignments against West Indies and New Zealand. He had spent time preparing in Ahmedabad before completing the prescribed return-to-play programme at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. The second days proceedings offered a glimpse of his progress, with Bumrah bowling six overs and conceding just 11 runs, including a maiden. Although he did not pick up a wicket, his economical spell provided an encouraging start to his comeback campaign. The abandoned third day, however, denied him another opportunity to build on that outing. Jadeja was another key member of Indias Test plans, hoping to benefit from the four-day contest. The all-rounder arrived in New Zealand after featuring in two Ranji Trophy matches for Saurashtra but remained unused with the ball on the second day. With the weather intervening on Monday, he will now have to make the most of whatever opportunity remains on the final day to get some bowling practice. Prasidh Krishna, meanwhile, made an immediate impression during his first competitive appearance since sustaining a hamstring injury in the second ODI against West Indies on September 30. The right-arm pacer claimed both New Zealand A wickets to fall on the second day, finishing with two wickets from five overs. Prasidh had originally been included in Indias squad for the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand but was subsequently withdrawn to feature in the red-ball preparatory fixture instead. His performance in Lincoln is particularly relevant, as he remains among the candidates being considered for Indias pace attack in the opening Test. With the senior Indian side scheduled to begin its two-match Test series against New Zealand on November 19, the remaining hours of the final day could prove important for the visitors. After losing an entire days cricket to rain, India A will be keen to squeeze in as much time on the field as possible, especially for the bowlers returning from injury or extended breaks. However, with Mondays washout severely limiting the available playing time, the three-match series now appears destined to conclude without a decisive result. With the senior Indian side scheduled to begin its two-match Test series against New Zealand on November 19, the remaining hours of the final day could prove important for the visitors. After losing an entire days cricket to rain, India A will be keen to squeeze in as much time on the field as possible, especially for the bowlers returning from injury or extended breaks.

From Science Fiction to a New Era of Transportation
FLYING CARS Imagine a city where a journey that once took an hour along busy roads could one day take minutes through the sky. A passenger boards a small electric aircraft, rises above the traffic and lands close to the destination. Once confined to science fiction, this idea has become a serious field of research and innovation. Flying cars are not just about flying; they are about creating new ways to connect people and places. The vehicles being developed are not conventional cars that can be driven and then flown. They are electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, known as eVTOLs. Several use electric propellers to rise vertically and wings to travel forward. Commonly called flying taxis, they are being designed primarily for shorter journeys, including travel between airports and city centres. They could complement existing transport by providing an additional option for selected journeys. Companies around the world are developing electric aircraft to make travel more convenient. In the United States, Joby Aviation is developing an electric air taxi to carry passengers, while BETA Technologies is working on aircraft for passenger travel and the delivery of goods. Brazils Eve Air Mobility, associated with Embraer, is developing an electric passenger aircraft. Japans SkyDrive is also developing compact electric aircraft for passenger travel. These projects explore new ways of connecting people and delivering essential goods. Universities and research institutions are helping turn these promising ideas into practical innovations. In the United States, MIT and NASA are researching electric air taxis, safer flights and better ways to manage aircraft above cities. In the Netherlands, Delft University of Technologys Albatross team is developing a two-seat electric aircraft for passenger travel. Germanys DLR studies the landing facilities needed for air taxis, while the European Unions SESAR programme is developing systems to help new aircraft fly safely among existing air traffic. India is also developing expertise in this emerging field. The ePlane Company, a startup incubated at IIT Madras, is developing an electric aircraft for urban passenger travel. Bengaluru-based Sarla Aviation has also completed more than 500 tests and over 18 hours of flight testing with Sylla, a smaller experimental version of its electric aircraft, according to the company. Drawing on this experience, it is developing Shunya, a planned passenger aircraft, under an engineering collaboration with Tata Elxsi. These developments show India's growing contribution to electric aviation research and development. Cities are exploring how this technology could fit into existing transport networks. In New York, Joby completed demonstration flights in April 2026, including journeys from John F. Kennedy International Airport to heliports in Manhattan. Tokyo hosted SkyDrive demonstration flights from 24 to 28 February 2026. These developments provide practical examples of how electric aircraft could be integrated into urban travel. The development of this technology will depend on several factors, including design, safety and practical use. In the early stages, services may operate on selected routes, particularly between airports and city centres. As aircraft designs improve and experience with their use increases, advances in manufacturing and the way these services are provided may help make these journeys more practical. In time, flying taxis could become another travel option for a wider range of people. As flying taxis become part of transport systems, arrangements will be needed to guide their movement through the sky. Digital air traffic systems can help aircraft follow planned routes, maintain suitable distances and communicate with air traffic controllers. Much like road signs and traffic signals organise road travel, these systems can help coordinate aircraft movements. NASA and aviation authorities are contributing to research and planning in this area. Special landing and take-off facilities, known as vertiports, will also play a role. They may be developed near airports, railway stations and transport hubs, with passenger waiting areas, charging stations for electric aircraft and designated spaces for their maintenance. Careful planning will help identify suitable locations, while links with public transport can make the complete journey easier. Their design will need to consider passengers, local communities, electricity requirements and the surrounding environment. The possibilities extend beyond passenger travel. Suitable aircraft may carry medicines, medical supplies and urgent packages. They could also support healthcare services, help transport essential supplies to areas with limited road access and assist during natural disasters. These applications show how aviation innovation could contribute to healthcare and community services. A new technology matters most when it helps people. The industry may also create learning and career pathways. Engineers, pilots, designers, researchers, software specialists and maintenance technicians will have important roles. New areas of work may develop in battery technology, aircraft manufacturing and air traffic management. Educational institutions can help prepare young people with the knowledge and skills needed in these fields. As this technology continues to develop, flying taxis could gradually become another option for everyday journeys. Their value will depend on how well they serve passengers and connect with existing transport facilities. With continued improvements in aircraft design, suitable infrastructure and attention to people's needs, electric air travel could offer a practical choice on certain routes while complementing existing transport systems. The true value of this technology will rest not simply in the aircraft, but in the benefits they may bring: better connections, useful services, new skills and wider opportunities. Throughout history, the sky has inspired people to look beyond existing possibilities and explore new horizons. Through scientific progress, cooperation and careful planning, that vision is gradually taking shape. The evolving transport landscape may include electric air travel together with roads and railways, creating additional ways to connect people, places and opportunities.

J&K moves to build GCC ecosystem, constitutes apex committee to attract investors
Srinagar, Nov 7:Jammu and Kashmirs ambition to emerge as a destination for Global Capability Centres (GCCs) has entered a new phase with the Government constituting a high-level apex committee to attract investments, identify prospective companies and prepare a time-bound action plan for developing the sector. The move follows the two-day J&K GCC Summit held at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Jammu on October 9 and 10, which brought together policymakers, industry representatives, technology experts and academic institutions to explore the regions potential in the rapidly expanding global services industry. The General Administration Department, through Government Order No. 1683-JK(GAD) of 2026 dated October 28, constituted the apex committee under the chairmanship of NIIT Chairman Rajendra Singh Pawar. The committee includes the Administrative Secretaries of the Information Technology and Labour and Employment departments, Directors of IIM Jammu and IIT Jammu, a NASSCOM representative and the Chief Executive Officer of the Centre for Innovation and Transformation in Governance (CITaG), who will function as its secretary. The committee has been mandated to identify prospective companies, GCC operators and technology firms and facilitate engagement with them to explore opportunities for establishing centres in J&K. Significantly, its responsibilities extend beyond investment promotion. It will prepare and oversee a time-bound action plan specifying priority interventions, expected outcomes, institutional responsibilities and measurable targets. It will also examine policy, regulatory and infrastructure requirements and recommend measures to address bottlenecks affecting the establishment and expansion of GCCs. The constitution of the committee provides an institutional mechanism for pursuing the GCC agenda. However, the larger challenge will be translating the initiative into actual investment, operational centres and sustainable employment. From summit discussions to an implementation roadmap The IIM Jammu summit brought the issue of GCC development into a structured government-industry discussion, with six major themes covering the global GCC landscape, policy enablement, talent and workforce development, technology and innovation, investment and growth, and a roadmap for Jammu and Kashmir. The discussions placed particular emphasis on the need for closer coordination between government, industry and educational institutions. While the Government has identified several sectors for GCC development, including artificial intelligence, data analytics, cybersecurity, software and product engineering, financial and business services, and research and development, the availability of reliable infrastructure will remain critical. Global Capability Centres increasingly undertake complex functions for multinational companies, including technology development, financial operations, analytics, cybersecurity and research. Their requirements extend well beyond conventional office accommodation. Reliable power supply, high-speed connectivity, data security, business continuity arrangements, transport facilities and suitable office infrastructure are essential for companies operating across international time zones. A September 2026 report by Moneycontrol, citing research by 3AI QuantX, highlighted infrastructure and specialised talent shortages as two major obstacles to the expansion of GCCs into Tier-II cities. The report estimated a 20-25 percent gap in advanced artificial intelligence and data roles, with shortages in specialised areas such as MLOps, LLMOps and agentic AI. It also pointed to the importance of housing, commuting and social infrastructure in attracting and retaining skilled employees. These challenges are relevant to J&K, where the development of a GCC ecosystem will require more than financial incentives. The availability of plug-and-play office space is another immediate concern. As highlighted in the earlier assessment of J&Ks IT infrastructure, the proposed IT park in the Kashmir division has not yet reached the stage where companies can access ready-to-use commercial office space. For an investor evaluating multiple locations, the ability to commence operations within a predictable timeframe can be as important as the cost of setting up a centre. Universities and industry must work together The Governments apex committee has also been tasked with coordinating with academic institutions, NASSCOM and other stakeholders to align educational programmes and skill-development initiatives with industry requirements. This is particularly important because the nature of GCC employment is changing. Companies are increasingly moving towards artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data engineering, cybersecurity and product development rather than limiting their Indian operations to routine back-office functions. The summit also witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between IIM Jammu and KPMG Advisory Services Private Limited to strengthen industry-academia engagement through academic programmes, executive education, research, consultancy and skill development. Such collaborations could help bridge the gap between academic qualifications and the competencies required by multinational companies. However, their effectiveness will depend on whether training programmes are designed around actual industry requirements, accompanied by internships, practical exposure and employment pathways. Indias GCC industry has expanded into a major employment and services segment. The Nasscom-Zinnov FY26 landscape estimates cited in the first part of this series put the countrys GCC count at 2,117, with a workforce of 2.36 million and annual revenue of $98.4 billion. Although the established metropolitan centres continue to dominate the sector, the growing interest in Tier-II locations provides an opportunity for regions such as Jammu and Kashmir to attract a share of future expansion. For J&K, the immediate priority should be to convert the newly constituted committees mandate into measurable deliverables: identifying potential investors, assessing infrastructure requirements, establishing industry-linked training programmes and creating a predictable approval mechanism. The region does not necessarily need to compete with Bengaluru or Hyderabad by replicating their entire technology ecosystems. It can instead build on specialised delivery capabilities, remote operations and partnerships with established GCC operators before moving towards larger independent centres. The apex committee now provides a formal platform to coordinate this effort. Its success, however, will ultimately be judged not by the number of meetings held or proposals discussed, but by the number of companies that establish operations, the quality of jobs created and the extent to which local talent becomes part of the global technology and services economy.
