From Vadodara to Palam: The Unforgettable Indian Experiences of Overseas Umpires
Believe it: Australian umpire Ben Treloar recently officiated in two Ranji Trophy matches. His first assignment was the Delhi-Gujarat fixture in Palam, followed by Mumbais match against Haryana. Similarly, Indian umpire Parashar Joshi will officiate in two Sheffield Shield matches and a One Day Cup fixture in Australia. The exchange is part of the 2026 Umpire Exchange Programme between Cricket Australia (CA) and the BCCI. Before Treloar, several foreign umpires had officiated in Indian domestic matches under similar programmes, returning home with vivid memories and interesting stories. Australian umpire Greg Davidsons visit to India in 2020 gave him memories that went well beyond cricket. He officiated in his first Ranji Trophy match in Vadodara, Gujarat, before his next assignment took him to Mumbai. At six feet ten inches, Davidson was hard to miss. People approached him for photographs and selfies, making him feel like a celebrity. The Mumbai airport was very noisy and crowded, like a jam-packed cricket stadium, he recalled. Davidson and his wife, Tracey, also experienced Indian hospitality away from the cricket ground. Tracey, a schoolteacher, was taken to local primary schools in Mumbai by Indian match referee Varsha Nagrey, giving the couple a glimpse of another side of Indian life. Davidson had expected dry, dusty pitches in India. Instead, he found a fair amount of grass and good carry on the surfaces. South African umpire Lubabalo Gcuma discovered that Indian pitches presented a different challenge. In November 2016, he officiated in the Ranji Trophy match between Assam and Maharashtra in Chennai. Officiating here is a different thing altogether, he observed, explaining that the ball could spin sharply or jump off the surface. Standing on a dusty, turning pitch while dealing with loud appeals from several close-in fielders demanded a different level of alertness from what he was used to in South Africa. In November 2016, Australian umpire Sam Nogajski fell ill during a Ranji Trophy match between Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh in Mysuru. He suffered stomach pain and loose motions and was admitted to hospital with dehydration. His illness forced him to withdraw, leaving his Indian colleague, Virender Sharma, in an unusual situation. A reserve umpire, Vejith D, was available, but he was not part of the BCCI umpiring panel and could not take over the on-field duties at the bowlers end. He could serve only as the square-leg umpire. As a result, Sharma had to officiate from both ends. Former England player-turned-umpire Martin Saggers also noted the differences in crowd energy and playing conditions during his Ranji Trophy assignments. He praised the hospitality but pointed out that the long Indian domestic season and dry, abrasive outfields demanded different physical preparation from that required for English county cricket. Treloars first assignment in India was an adventure in Palam. One unusual feature was the regular sight and sound of aircraft overhead. Located in an aviation-heavy part of Delhi, the ground had planes flying over it repeatedly during the four-day match. Delhi piled up 648 for six before declaring, while Gujarat replied with 479. Treloar stood through 318.5 overs in the drawn match. It was his first experience of officiating in an innings in which a team scored around 650. He spent almost the entire match at one end, with only four overs at the other. Treloars Indian experience also brought some unexpected interactions. Players from Delhi and Gujarat approached him to ask where he came from and what he was doing there. He was impressed by their passion for the game and the hospitality shown by players, team management, ground staff and catering staff. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Away from cricket, Treloar explored Delhis markets, bought spices and sampled local food, including dal, vegetable curries, garlic-butter naan and vada pav. A keen cook at home, he was already thinking of taking some Indian flavours back to his family in Australia.

Govt launches Semicon 2.0 portal, clears 12 more electronics component projects worth Rs 7,503 crore
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 6 (IANS) Union Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday launched the Semicon 2.0 web application portal under the Semicon India Programme and announced the approval of 12 new applications under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), marking another push to strengthen India's semiconductor and electronics manufacturing capabilities. The launch follows the Union Cabinet's approval of Semicon 2.0 with a fiscal outlay of Rs 1.27 lakh crore under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM). The next phase of the programme is focused on six strategic pillars, including chip design, semiconductor equipment and materials, fabrication units, ATMP/OSAT facilities, research and development, and talent development. With the launch of the portal, applications have gone live for Pillars 2, 3 and 4, which focus on machines and materials, new semiconductor fabrication facilities, and further strengthening of the assembly, testing, marking and packaging ecosystem. Highlighting the progress made under the first phase of the programme, the government said 12 semiconductor projects with cumulative investments exceeding Rs 1.64 lakh crore have been approved across six states, with five of them already commencing commercial production as of October 2026. The semiconductor ecosystem has also expanded through startup and academic participation. According to the government, 105 startups have received access to Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, 24 startups have been supported through funding, while 15 startups have secured venture capital investments. In addition, 332 academic institutions have been provided EDA tools under the Chips to Startup (C2S) programme, helping train around 70,000 students. Alongside the Semicon 2.0 launch, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology approved 12 additional projects under ECMS involving projected investments of Rs 7,503 crore. The approved projects are expected to generate production worth Rs 39,045 crore and create 7,127 direct jobs. The latest approvals come after clearance of 106 applications involving investments of Rs 69,548 crore announced earlier under the scheme. The newly approved projects span components, supply chain products and capital goods. They include manufacturing of multilayer printed circuit boards, relays, heat sinks and specialty ceramics, as well as key supply-chain products such as copper foil, anode material, cathode active material, polypropylene film and camera rims. The projects are spread across Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh, expanding the geographical footprint of India's electronics component manufacturing sector. The government said the approvals include first-time support under ECMS for copper foil, cathode active material and specialty ceramics, broadening the range of electronics components and upstream materials being produced domestically. Speaking at the event, Vaishnaw said India's electronics manufacturing industry has moved beyond basic assembly operations and is increasingly building capabilities across modules, components, materials and advanced technologies. He noted that the country is developing strengths in areas such as battery cells, copper foils, copper-clad laminates and advanced printed circuit boards, while government schemes are creating opportunities for MSMEs.
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 6 (IANS) Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday directed officials to accelerate the Marathwada Water Grid Project, a key initiative aimed at permanently resolving the water scarcity in the Marathwada region and making it drought-free. He instructed that the Preliminary Project Report be uploaded immediately and processed rapidly for submission to the Union Ministry of Finance's Department of Economic Affairs. The directives were issued during a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at his official residence, 'Varsha', in Mumbai, alongside a senior delegation from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The meeting reviewed the layout of the Marathwada Water Grid Project as well as various infrastructure initiatives being undertaken through collaboration between Maharashtra and Japan. JICA is expected to provide financial assistance of approximately Rs 20,000 crore for this ambitious project. Given the uneven distribution of water in Marathwada, the primary objective of the Water Grid Project is to transfer water from surplus dams to drought-prone reservoirs via closed pipelines. A two-way flow system will be developed for this purpose, he said. According to the CM, the first phase of the project covers four districts: Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Beed, Latur, and Dharashiv. It will interconnect key reservoirs including Jayakwadi, Majalgaon, Manjara, Ujani, Lower Terna, and Lower Manar. The phase involves laying nearly 3,095 kilometres of primary and secondary pipelines and establishing 15 water treatment plants, directly benefiting nearly 10 million citizens. The estimated cost of the Water Grid Project across all eight districts is approximately Rs 25,056 crore. JICA has responded favourably regarding loan assistance of about Rs 20,000 crore for the first phase. Since Latur and Dharashiv fall under earthquake-prone zones, Japan's advanced earthquake-resistant technology will be utilised in construction. This includes the use of ductile iron pipes, modern pumping systems, and a SCADA network. Additionally, the project will ensure a sustainable water supply to industries in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar's AURIC City, Shendra-Bidkin, and Waluj industrial areas, he stated. In addition to water infrastructure, joint initiatives are underway between Japanese companies and the Indian Institute of Creative Technologies (IICT) to position Maharashtra globally in the Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics (AVGC) sector. As part of this collaboration, the 'Manga Caravan' event will be hosted in Mumbai this February, an initiative welcomed by CM Fadnavis. The appointment of a Project Management Consultant and the preparation of the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the Marathwada Water Grid Project will be completed swiftly in cooperation with JICA. Plans have been drawn up to ensure on-ground project execution is completed by 2029. Fadnavis assured that the State Government will further strengthen its partnership with Japan across infrastructure, water supply, transportation, environment, and modern technology, promising all necessary support for these ventures.
