INDIA NEWS | Fri, 6 Feb 2026, 12:18AM IST New Delhi | Bengaluru: PhD students at the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are increasingly getting corporate job offers for high-end research and development (R&D), a shift from recruitment largely for teaching roles in the past. It is the result of the institutes boosting in-house R&D to develop innovative and competitive products, said professors at the IITs including Kharagpur, Kanpur, Guwahati, Roorkee and BHU.Companies such as Denso, Japan Meteorological Corporation, Caterpillar, Aditya Birla Science & Technology, Tata Steel, AMD, Google, Microsoft, Philips, Samsung, CDAC, Siemens, L&T and Qualcomm have recently hired PhD students from the IITs, according to the institutes.For the first time, two PhD students at IIT Kharagpur have received overseas job offers, both from Japan. In addition, a PhD student received an offer of a 1 crore-plus annual package. 127951042 "This year, hiring of PhD students in corporate R&Ds is a new trend. This is an effort to bolster research and development activities in core engineering fields to stay ahead of competition," said an IIT Kharagpur professor, who did not wish to be identified. Six PhD students at the institute have received corporate offers, as against none last year.Recruiters like Godrej Enterprises Group have R&D centres in each of their businesses and are in the process of augmenting R&D operations across verticals. "R&D has always been a key priority from our inception as an organisation. We have had PhDs for the same (R&D), in addition to partnerships with institutes and academia," said Nyrika Holkar, executive director, Godrej Enterprises Group. "For instance, in aerospace, we are in the process of setting up a design centre in Bangalore." Companies are hiring PhDs primarily for academic and R&D roles, according to Vivek Pancholi, professor-in-charge, placement and internship cell, IIT Roorkee. "We are seeing more companies lining up this year as industries are looking for in-house R&D work to increase competitiveness," he said. At IIT Roorkee, recruiters such as Atomberg Technologies, ION Group, Intel, Quantiphi, TCS, VGeotech Experts, Terafac Technologies, MaxVolt Energy and several universities have made job offers to PhD students this year. Nine PhD students at the institute have received offers so far.PhD students at IIT Guwahati are getting jobs in specialised areas, mostly through lateral placements, said John Jose, head, Centre for Career Development. "They are landing high-end R&D jobs, often going through their supervisors, unlike the UG and PG students who mainly go through the campus placement route," he said.Recently, nearly 20-25 students joined companies such as AMD, Google, Microsoft, Philips, Samsung, CDAC, Siemens, L&T and Qualcomm in specialised roles through the regular campus placement route, Jose added.

INDIA NEWS | Thu, 5 Feb 2026, 11:43PM IST New Delhi: The government on Thursday said it has withdrawn the stockholding limit on wheat as there is a comfortable stock in the domestic market and prices are declining in the wholesale market.In May 2025, the Centre had imposed limits on wheat stocks that wholesalers, retailers and processors can keep with them. The move was aimed at preventing hoarding and controlling prices.In an official statement, the food ministry said a wheat stock limit order was issued following improved availability ahead of the festive season."As part of continuous monitoring of prices and ensure adequate availability of wheat before the upcoming festive season, Central Government has decided to withdraw the wheat stock limit order dated 27 May, 2025," the ministry said.However, all wheat stocking entities are required to declare the stock position on every Friday on the food stock portal.According to the wheat stock declaration by private entities on the DFPD portal for the year 202526, the ministry said that the wheat stock availability with private entities is significantly higher compared to the corresponding period last year.The total stock reported stands at about 81 lakh tonnes, which is about 30 lakh tonnes higher year-on-year, indicating a comfortable supply position in the country."Price data from the Department of Consumer Affairs reflects a declining trend in wheat prices, particularly in the wholesale segment. Wholesale prices have fallen from Rs 2,970.10 per quintal (last year) to around Rs 2,852.30 per quintal at present, suggesting subdued demand and excess supply conditions in domestic markets," the statement said.Wheat acreage has also increased to about 334.17 lakh hectares compared to 328.04 lakh hectares last year."This reflects continued farmer preference for wheat cultivation due to assured MSP and procurement prospects and signals the likelihood of another robust harvest," the ministry said.The government said that sufficient wheat is available to meet requirement of public distribution system (PDS), other welfare schemes and possible market interventions."The Department of Food and Public Distribution is maintaining a close watch over the prices and stock position of wheat so as to ensure easy availability in the country," the statement said.

The company had posted a profit of Rs 65.29 crore in the corresponding quarter last fiscal, JK Paper Ltd said in a regulatory filing. Total income in the third quarter stood at Rs 1,781.65 crore.

The results are not comparable with previous periods due to acquisitions, including that of Borkar Packaging Pvt Ltd in October 2025, JK Paper said. The company said performance in the quarter has been adversely impacted mainly due to planned annual shut at two major plants in Odisha and Gujarat leading to lower production. Besides, continued imports at a cheaper rate resulting in lower sales realisation and sharp rupee depreciation against Euro impa

INDIA NEWS | Thu, 5 Feb 2026, 11:20PM IST Royal Challengers Bengaluru sealed their dominance in the Womens Premier League by clinching their second title, outclassing Delhi Capitals by six wickets in a high-voltage final.Delhi Capitals posted an imposing 203 for four against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Women's Premier League final on Thursday.Laura Wolvaardt (44 not out off 25 balls) and Lizelle Lee (37 off 30 balls) also made quick runs after DC were put in. Rodrigues slammed 57 off 37 balls.The Royal Challengers were on the money in the first three overs with Lauren Bell and Sayali Satghare conceding just nine runs as Shafali Verma and Lee did not get enough width to free their arms.However, the fourth over bowled by Satghare saw the Capitals release the pressure with Lee clobbering the medium pacer's half-volley and half-tracker two successive sixes -- one over long-off and another over mid-wicket.There was then an appeal for a stumping thanks to Richa Ghosh's enterprise and it was followed by Satghare failing to latch on to a difficult caught and bowled chance, ending an eventful over that yielded the Capitals 20 runs and gave them the much-needed momentum after the sluggish start.With DC reaching 36 after five overs, skipper Smriti Mandhana introduced Arundhati Reddy into the attack and Shafali straightaway collected two fours. However, Reddy hit back with the wicket of Shafali with a short ball, which was smartly taken by Ghosh behind the stumps.The classy Laura Wolvaardt began with an exquisite boundary before Lee welcomed of-spinner Shreyanka Patil into the attack with two fours and a six on the trot, lifting DC to 72 for one in seven overs.It took compatriot Nadine de Klerk to end the dangerous Lee's stay in the middle, as the opener skied one for Grace Harris to run in from long-on to complete a clean catch.Rodrigues joined Wolvaardt, and the duo found the gaps at will with their stylish batting to keep RCB under pressure with a partnership of 76 runs.

INDIA NEWS | Thu, 5 Feb 2026, 11:08PM IST Budget 2026 is a business-as-usual exercise that increases some outlays, announces some new schemes, corrects some duty perversions, contains the fiscal deficit, and undertakes to devolve resources recommended by the Finance Commission to states. It gets a thumbs up by normal standards.But these are not normal times. We are experiencing what Mark Carney at Davos called a rupture in the global order. Trump has demolished old certainties about geopolitical alliances and enmities. No erstwhile US ally - European, West Asian or Asian - can count on Marines rushing to their rescue in the event of hostilities that, just a year ago, would have triggered intervention by the world's most powerful military. Every nation is scrambling to enhance its capacity to defend itself.While never an ally of the US, India had grown accustomed to considering itself a partner, not just formally in a grouping like Quad but in a comprehensive campaign, in general, to pre-empt any military adventurism by China in the Indo-Pacific. India's rise as an economic and military power is widely understood as a necessary condition to keep China's rise peaceful. Trump has ploughed such assumptions deep underground.Russia has been a reliable source of support. But Russia is beholden to China, for supplying critical inputs to its war against Ukraine. China has consistently dragged its feet over settling the border dispute with India, builds up and arms Pakistan as a convenient force multiplier, and engages with India's other neighbours in South Asia to neutralise them, if not turn them against India.India has to build up its strategic capacity, double-quick: buy and build arms, rid its communications and weapons systems of dependence on Chinese electronics, create a satellite constellation in low-Earth orbit to monitor developments on the ground, spot and lock in on targets, and supply vital battlefield communications, including to drones used by individual soldiers or patrol units.Simultaneously, there is strategic and economic challenge from AI. It's essential for commercial entities to develop AI applications that ride on foundation models from Western tech firms, and even open-source models available from China. But AI is increasingly used for military purposes. For that, India cannot rely on any model that can be withheld or corrupted by an external agent. India must develop its own.AI is a product of the computing capacity derivedfrom armies of high-speed, parallel processing chips housed in data centres, and programming. India has neither. But it has the potential to create both.India's semiconductor missions are ridiculous. The only reason to build chips in India, rather than import them, is to shield ourselves from weaponised technology access of the kind the US has used against China. That purpose is not served by handing over billions of dollars to foreign chip companies to set up low-end fabs in India. That money is better spent on developing our own chip-making ecosystem.A thought-through semiconductor mission would start with identifying every single element of the chip-making ecosystem, assemblies in each one of them, sub-assemblies and components. Fund five startups to develop every single item in this array, ranging from extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, lenses used to focus the laser to etch grooves on silicon wafers, to the kit to deposit vaporised metal in grooves and clean up afterwards.Not all of them will deliver. Some funds would be swallowed by the well-connected. But in this process of reinventing the wheel, India would create indigenous capability to keep innovating beyond the existing frontiers in this field.Can India do this? China has. Foreign companies have set up high-end R&D centres in their GCCs in India, employing Indian talent. What prevents Indian enterprise from doing this? Only the missing vision, courage and funding. Instead of luring foreign chip companies to set up shop in India, let GoI lure Indian tech talent working at the cutting edge in many parts of the world, to lead startups that would deliver Indian AI.All this calls for large amounts of money, which cannot be found by business-as-usual budgets. Given the strategic imperative, extraordinary measures have to be taken. GoI must draw back from its populist trespass into state subjects, and mindless subsidies, such as that for urea, which depresses nutrient use efficiency and inhibits the spread of complex fertilisers.It must put an end to the ethanol-blending farce, which only serves to reduce the crop under oilseeds and increase prices of maize, chicken feed, eggs and chicken. More than half of ethanol is derived from grain, including rice, all grown with subsidised, energy-intensive water and fertiliser.When Lal Bahadur Shastri called on people to hand over their gold to finance the war thrust upon India, Indians responded. India today faces a similar existential crisis. Indians will respond with sacrifice - provided it is shared by all sections, and funds are utilised wisely.Reorienting the budget is politics, not economics. It calls for political courage, honesty of purpose, and articulate engagement with the public. Is that too much to expect?
