XtractPro is Building the Seating Systems that will Transform India's Sports Infrastructure

India is in the middle of the infrastructure boom. New cricket stadiums are being approved across Kerala, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. Khelo India complexes are coming up in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Every school is now expected to have a multi-sport facility.   But amid the concrete, the synthetic turfs, and the smart lighting, there is one critical question no one is asking loudly enough: where does India sit? XtractPro Seating has an answer. The India-based manufacturer of telescopic seating systems is building the infrastructure that sits at the intersection of sports, education, and architecture. From school auditoriums in smaller cities to indoor arenas in metros, XtractPro is engineering the seating that turns an empty hall into a venue, a venue into an experience, and an experience into a community.   From auditoriums to arenas, XtractPro's seating systems are laying the groundwork for India's sports infrastructure future   "India is not just building stadiums. India is building a sporting culture. And this culture needs a place to sit,"  XtractPro Seating Pvt. Ltd.   From assembly hall to arena: the XtractPro transformation The challenge facing India's institutional venues is not space — it is wasted space. A school that builds a fixed-seating auditorium locks that hall into one function. A sports complex that installs permanent bleachers eliminates its own flexibility. An institution pays to build a large space and then uses it at 30% of its potential.   XtractPro's retractable seating systems change that equation fundamentally. When the seating is deployed, it is a stadium. When it retracts, it is an event space. On Monday, a school holds its annual day. On Friday, the same hall hosts a district-level badminton tournament. On Saturday, it becomes a convocation hall. No second space. No second investment.   The seats that will define india's sporting decade India's ambition to become a global sporting hub — to host international events, to develop Olympic talent, to build communities around sport — will ultimately be realised not just in what gets built, but in how it gets used. Infrastructure that cannot adapt is infrastructure that gets underused. And in a country of India's scale, underused infrastructure is a national cost.   XtractPro Seating is making a straightforward bet: that India's institutions will choose smart over static, flexible over fixed, and homegrown over imported. One venue at a time.   About XtractPro Seating Pvt. Ltd. XtractPro Seating Pvt. Ltd. is India's premier manufacturer of telescopic seating systems, purpose-built for schools, colleges, sports arenas, auditoriums, and multipurpose institutional venues. With a deep understanding of Indian spatial constraints, regulatory standards, and institutional needs, XtractPro designs and delivers seating infrastructure that transforms single-use halls into high-performance, multi-purpose venues. Rooted in the Atmanirbhar Bharat mission, XtractPro brings world-class engineering to India's fast-growing institutional and sports infrastructure sector.

Skyroots Vikram-1 lifts-off from Sriharikota, Indias private space era officially begins

Sriharikota (Andhra Pradesh), July 18: India's space sector has officially entered a new epoch. Today, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Hyderabad-based Skyroot Aerospace successfully executed Mission Aagaman, marking the maiden flight of Vikram-1--the nation's first privately developed orbital-class rocket. This isn't just another launch; it represents a tectonic shift in India's space narrative. Historically the domain of government-led programs, orbital access is now open for private enterprise. The 24-metre, carbon-composite rocket stands as a testament to indigenous engineering, powered by a sophisticated configuration of three solid-fuel stages and a liquid orbital adjustment module. The mission, designed to deploy payloads up to 350 kg into a 450-km Low Earth Orbit (LEO), signals a future of rapid, on-demand launch services. Among the maiden cargo is the Diamond Lotus, a lab-grown diamond from Bengaluru-based Cosmos Diamonds, proving that this new infrastructure is ready for high-value commercial application. Among the payloads on Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 is something truly special--a handwritten postcard from Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the words, Vande Mataram. It travels to space alongside handwritten messages from the Skyroot team, investors, policymakers, and well-wishers across the globe, making Mission Aagaman a celebration carried by many hands and shared by millions. Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the maiden orbital launch of Vikram-1, India's first privately developed launch vehicle, describing it as a historic new frontier in the country's space journey and a reflection of the talent and entrepreneurial spirit of India's youth. In a post on X the PM Modi sid, A historic new frontier for India's space journey! Skyroot Aerospace will undertake the maiden orbital launch of Vikram-1, India's first privately developed launch vehicle. This four-stage rocket is designed to provide rapid and on-demand launch services. This mission highlights the talent, determination and entrepreneurial spirit of our youth. It also shows how our space-sector reforms are unlocking new opportunities for innovation and enterprise. My best wishes to the entire Skyroot Aerospace team for a successful launch. May Vikram-1 soar high, create history and inspire a generation of innovators. I urge all Indians, especially my young friends, to follow this historic mission and join in wishing Team Skyroot success using #IndiaWithVikram1. (ANI)

We want more!: Singaporean envoy to India Simon Wong welcomes 1st shipment of J&K cherries, plums

New Delhi, July 17: Singapore High Commissioner to India Simon Wong on Friday welcomed the arrival of the first shipment of cherries and plums from Jammu and Kashmir to Singapore, hailing the expansion of agricultural trade between the two countries and expressing hope for such exports. In a post on X, Wong said, Following Litchis and mangoes, Singapore is finally getting its first taste of cherries and plums from #Jammu #Kashmir. Thank you @APEDADOC and Hon'ble @CM_JnK. We want MORE! The High Commissioner thanked the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) and Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for facilitating the export of the fruits. Earlier on July 13, Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said that India's agricultural and processed food exports are expanding their global footprint, with products from different states entering new international markets and helping farmers secure better returns. In a social media post, Goyal highlighted a series of export achievements spanning fresh fruits, millet-based foods and processed food products, saying India's produce is increasingly finding acceptance across global markets. India's exports are on a roll. From local farms to international shelves, India's finest flavours are winning hearts worldwide, the minister said. According to Goyal, fresh Amrapali mangoes from Jharkhand made their international debut in the United Kingdom and Dubai. The mangoes were grown by an all-women farmer-producer company, helping women farmers earn 180 per cent higher returns. He shared that the botanical-infused millet functional foods from Karnataka were exported to New Zealand, adding that India's traditional millet-based products are now gaining popularity in international markets. He also highlighted that the premium Areco cherries and Centros plums from Jammu and Kashmir reached Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the UAE, enabling farmers to earn up to 120 per cent higher returns. In another first, Himalayan litchis from Uttarakhand were exported to Italy, opening a new market for the state's fruit growers. He shared that the fresh litchis from Punjab also entered the Oman market under the India-Oman Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), while GI-tagged Tezpur litchi from Assam reached Dubai, fetching premium prices for growers. Minister also pointed out that the GI-tagged Rewa Sundarja mango from Madhya Pradesh was exported to the UAE, with farmers receiving around 40 to 50 per cent higher prices than those available in local markets. According to the minister, premium Banganapalli mangoes from Andhra Pradesh were transported to Singapore by sea for the first time, demonstrating the growing acceptance of Indian fruits in overseas markets. From the farms of Assam to the orchards of Kashmir, from Varanasi's food industry to Karnataka's millet innovators, the world is embracing the taste of India, the minister noted. (ANI)
