Shubham won his maiden title in Kolkata two months back and also claimed a third-place finish and another top-10 finish during the season. Shubham said, Im very excited to compete at the DGC where I have grown up playing. I would watch the Indian Open here as a kid and follow the likes of Anirban Lahiri on the course.

He added, Ive played well all year long, and now Im in a position where I can compete this week. These are the goals you set for yourself. These are the tournaments you want to play and win. On the presence of many talented Indian youngsters in the field, Amandeep Johl, CEO, DP World PGTI, said, The presence of so many talented young Indian golfers, including teenagers at the India Championship, is a testament to the growing strength and depth of the game in our country and our endeavour of creating maximum playing opportunities for our players.

We hope this experience will inspire them to raise their ambitions and demonstrate that Indian golf has a bright future on the global stage, he added.

Digital Desk | Greater Noida, Oct 14 (IANS) Police and Anti-Narcotics Team in Uttar Pradesh's Greater Noida have seized 'ganja' worth Rs 1 crore and arrested three for smuggling the drugs, officials said.

Indias manufacturing sector undergoes structural change under BHAVYA scheme
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 14 (IANS) India's manufacturing sector is undergoing a structural change under the Rs 33,660 crore Bharat Audyogik Vikas Yojna (BHAVYA) initiative to develop 100 plug-and-play industrial parks across the country. The manufacturing sector now contributes about 1617 per cent of GDP and employs over 27 million workers. The National Manufacturing Mission aims to raise this share to 25 per cent by 2035, according to a factsheet issued by the government on Wednesday. The composition of industries is also changing, with medium and high-technology industries accounting for 46.3 per cent of manufacturing value addition. This reflects a shift towards higher-value and technology-intensive manufacturing, the factsheet states. As industries grow, they need reliable infrastructure, efficient logistics, and predictable approvals. Global supply chains are also diversifying, making well-connected industrial locations more important. Plug-and-play parks bring these requirements together by providing essential infrastructure and common facilities before industries begin operations. This reduces the time and cost involved in setting up new manufacturing units, said the factsheet. To expand this approach nationwide, the BHAVYA scheme, approved by the Cabinet in March 2026, is being implemented in partnership with States and private developers. The scheme emphasises increasing manufacturing capacity in the country and ease of doing business through streamlined approvals, effective single-window systems, and investor-friendly reforms. The plug-and-play industrial ecosystems will reduce entry-level barriers and help industries move from investment to production quickly. The scheme aims to attract investment, support MSMEs, strengthen supply chains, create jobs, and drive industrial growth across regions. India's approach to manufacturing growth has evolved over time. Each phase has expanded the country's capacity to support industry and create new economic opportunities, the factsheet explains. The first phase focused on industrial estates and Special Economic Zones (SEZs), and provided industrial land, common infrastructure, and regulatory incentives. As of February 2026, India had 370 notified SEZs. These zones attracted investments worth Rs 7.82 lakh crore and generated employment for over 31.7 lakh people. The approach then expanded from individual industrial zones to larger manufacturing hubs across the country. As of October 14, 2026, 4,164 industrial parks have been mapped on the India Industrial Land Bank (IILB). At the same time, the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme (NICDP) moved beyond providing industrial land. It combined manufacturing zones with utilities, logistics, and urban services, creating more integrated industrial locations. Industrial nodes such as Dholera Special Investment Region (Gujarat), Shendra-Bidkin Industrial Area (Maharashtra), Vikram Udyogpuri (Madhya Pradesh), and Integrated Industrial Township Greater Noida (Uttar Pradesh) demonstrated the advantages of integrated planning. BHAVYA provides financial assistance of up to Rs 1 crore per acre for developing industrial parks. The scheme covers essential components such as internal roads, power supply, water networks, drainage systems, common effluent treatment facilities, value-added infrastructure, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-enabled administration. The scheme supports up to 25 per cent of approved funding to be allocated for external infrastructure such as road, rail, and last-mile logistics connectivity, ensuring seamless integration with the wider transport network. The scheme will be implemented over six years, from FY202627 to FY 203132. In the first phase, up to 50 industrial parks will be selected through a challenge mode across two selection rounds. The remaining parks will be selected in subsequent phases, taking the total number of parks supported under BHAVYA to 100. Each park will span 25 to 1,000 acres depending upon mandatory criteria of land sizes as per the Scheme guidelines.

PGTI Tour: Shubhankar Sharma retains lead in Kapil Dev Invitational Tour Championship
Digital Desk | Greater Noida, Oct 9 (IANS) Shubhankar Sharma returned an even-par 72 to retain a two-shot lead after the third round of the INR 2 crore Kapil Dev Invitational Tour Championship at the Jaypee Greens Golf & Spa Resort in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on Friday. The 30-year-old Chandigarh golfer (68-65-72), who began the day with a four-stroke advantage, mixed five birdies with three bogeys and a double bogey to remain at 11-under 205 heading into the final round. Bengalurus Manoj S (70-71-66) and Italys Michele Ortolani (72-70-65) emerged as Shubhankars closest challengers at nine-under 207. Manoj climbed from sixth to tied second after making six birdies in a bogey-free 66. Ortolani rose from seventh overnight with a blemish-free seven-under 65, the joint-lowest score of the day. Last years PGTI Order of Merit champion Yuvraj Sandhu (71-69-69) of Chandigarh made a three-under 69 to occupy fourth place at seven-under 209. Shubhankar began strongly, making four birdies on the front nine before adding another on the 10th. However, he dropped three bogeys and a double-bogey on the closing stretch that reduced his lead from his overnight four strokes to two. It was an up-and-down day, Shubhankar said. I started strongly and made four birdies on the front nine, including gains on the second, fourth, and seventh, before adding another on the 10th. The back nine was disappointing because I missed a few opportunities coming in and dropped some shots. However, Im still playing good golf and have plenty to look forward to tomorrow. Hopefully, I can carry the momentum from todays front nine through all 18 holes in the final round, he added. Chandigarhs Brashwarpal Singh (72-65-73) and Bengalurus Khalin Joshi (72-67-71) shared fifth place at six-under 210. Joshi, a four-time winner on the DP World PGTI this season, began the week second in the Race to DP World India Championship. Current Race to the India Championship leader Saptak Talwar (75-72-72) climbed from tied 31st to tied 25th at three-over 219. The Pro-Am on Friday was won by the team consisting of professional Tapendra Ghai and amateur Prem Duggal. The Pro-Am winning team had a total of 48 Stableford Points.
BSF deployed on Noida-Delhi border ahead of CJP protest
Security has been significantly increased at the Noida-Delhi borders, with police and BSF personnel deployed, ahead of a major protest by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on Saturday. The protest demands the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged election irregularities. Vehicle checks and barriers are in place, while some activists claim house arrest. Noida Metro services will operate normally, despite Delhi Metro closures.
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 9 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Congress President Aradhna Misra Mona said on Friday that changing the name of an airport will not change the destiny of the airport. She added that the more pressing question is how the airport will benefit the people of the state. Changing the name of an airport, which was built at a cost of around Rs 30,000 crore, cannot change the fate of the airport, Misra Mona said on the renaming of the Noida International Airport as Narendra Modi International Airport. Earlier we saw how an airport built with the thousands of crores of taxpayers' money was completely waterlogged after rain. You can name the airport whatever you feel like, but you also need to tell the people of the state how much employment it is bringing to the people of Uttar Pradesh, she added. How does the airport benefit the people of Uttar Pradesh? And if at all it hasn't brought about any changes, then what is the point of changing names? she asked. She also raised the issue of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and said, The BJP should also answer about the 13 crore names which have been omitted from the voter list based on SIR. They should answer when Chief election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar will resign from his position, who is responsible for the vote theft. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday announced the renaming of the Noida International Airport in Jewar to Narendra Modi International Airport, following a resolution passed by his Cabinet to mark PM Modi's 25 years in public service. The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet is grateful to PM Modi for gifting Noida International Airport to the state, which is Uttar Pradesh's biggest airport and is going to become the country's biggest aviation hub in the future, CM Adityanath said. Therefore, the Uttar Pradesh Cabinet has passed the resolution to rename the airport as Narendra Modi International airport at Jewar in Noida, he added. The development of Jewar Airport is expected to boost Uttar Pradesh's air connectivity and economic activity. PM Modi had inaugurated the first phase of the airport in March this year. Its initial annual passenger capacity is estimated at around 12 million. Upon the completion of all four phases, it is scheduled to rank among Asia's largest airports.

SC flags commuter hardship, asks govt to avoid Metro shutdown ahead of protest
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 9 (IANS) The Supreme Court on Friday orally asked the Centre to ensure that Delhi Metro operations are not completely suspended ahead of the proposed protest in the national capital on Saturday, stressing that preventive measures should not cause inconvenience to ordinary commuters. A Bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana expressed concern over the scheduled closure of 57 Metro stations, observing that the restrictions could affect students, employees and other people dependent on public transport. We are concerned with closure of metro services, the CJI-led Bench remarked, addressing Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who appeared for the Centre. The Supreme Court orally observed that hundreds of commuters travel daily from Greater Noida and other parts of the National Capital Region (NCR) for their livelihood and educational purposes. Stressing that ordinary citizens were entitled to access public transport facilities, the top court said the authorities could consider regulating the frequency of Metro services instead of shutting them down entirely. The CJI-led Bench asked the Solicitor General to take up the matter with the government immediately and ensure that the proposed restrictions did not bring all transport services to a halt. SG Mehta assured the apex court that he would discuss the issue with the government, adding that the measures could be monitored periodically and modified depending on the situation. The Supreme Court said that preventive arrangements could be put in place as a precautionary measure but should not result in a complete stoppage of essential public transport services. Citizens are entitled to these facilities, the bench orally observed, adding that while maintaining law and order was the government's responsibility, the measures taken should be proportionate to the situation. The hearing is underway. The matter was taken up amid concerns over the proposed closure of 57 Metro stations and the cancellation or rescheduling of several trains scheduled to arrive at New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin railway stations on October 10. The restrictions have been imposed in view of the proposed demonstration by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) at Jantar Mantar, seeking accountability from Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The Delhi Police has denied permission for the demonstration, citing public safety, traffic regulation and law-and-order concerns. It has also said that Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) is in force in the New Delhi area.
