Air India Thiruvananthapuram-Delhi flight cancelled after aircraft suffers bird hit during inbound journey
An Air India flight from Thiruvananthapuram to Delhi was forced to cancel its scheduled flight on Sunday after the aircraft suffered a bird hit on its inbound journey from the national capital. The cancellation of Air India Flight AI 2455 was triggered after Air India flight AI2454 from Delhi to Thiruvananthapuram reported a suspected bird hit upon landing, news agency ANI reported. An Air India spokesperson said, 'Air India regrets to inform that flight AI2455, from Thiruvananthapuram to Delhi, on 22 June 2025, is cancelled due to extended engineering checks after a suspected bird hit was detected after the aircraft landed safely in Thiruvananthapuram.' 'The inconvenience caused to our passengers due to this unforeseen disruption is sincerely regretted, and every effort is being made to minimise it, including providing accommodation to passengers,' the spokesperson was quoted by ANI as saying. The airline further informed that refunds on cancellation or complimentary rescheduling are also being offered to guests who opt for it. 'Alternative arrangements are being made to fly the passengers to Delhi. At Air India, the safety of our passengers and crew remains our top priority,' the airline said. Air India and Air India Express together operate more than 1,100 flights a day, flying over 150,000 passengers. "Air India has voluntarily undertaken enhanced pre-flight safety checks and temporary reduction of services to uphold its commitment to safe operations. This will improve stability and will minimise last-minute inconvenience to passengers," the airline said in its statement. 'However, despite all efforts, due to extraneous factors such as air traffic congestion, inclement weather in some parts of the country and other unforeseen operational issues, certain flights get delayed or cancelled,' it said. "We notify passengers ahead of time to reduce inconvenience in case of planned delays or cancellations, but sometimes, certain challenges lead to last-minute disruptions," the statement added. Earlier, on June 20, Air India CEO and Managing Director Campbell Wilson reassured the public and employees that the airline's fleet -- particularly its Boeing 787 aircraft remains safe to operate following comprehensive checks, and that the carrier is exercising maximum caution in the wake of the AI171 tragedy.

Top 5 states to contribute half of capex in FY26, UP & Gujarat biggest contributor: Report
New Delhi [India], June 23 (ANI): Over five states in the country are expected to contribute nearly half of the total capital outlay (capex) in the financial year 2025-26 (FY26), according to a report by Bank of Baroda. Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat are among the biggest contributors, followed by Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka. The report stated, 'Over 5 states are estimated to contribute around 50 per cent of the total capital outlay in FY26, with Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat amongst the biggest contributors, followed by states like Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh'. Capital outlay refers to the money spent by governments (in this case, state governments) on building or acquiring fixed assets like roads and highways, schools and hospitals. In FY25, the total capital outlay of 26 states was Rs 8.7 lakh crore. The report mentioned that this number is expected to increase to Rs 10.2 lakh crore for FY26. Among the 26 states, Uttar Pradesh leads with a 16.3 per cent share in capital outlay, followed by Gujarat (9.4 per cent), Maharashtra (8.3 per cent), Madhya Pradesh (8.1 per cent), and Karnataka (6.7 per cent). In comparison, in FY25, the top five contributors were Uttar Pradesh (16.9 per cent), Maharashtra (10.9 per cent), Gujarat (8.1 per cent), Madhya Pradesh (7.5 per cent), and Odisha (6.4 per cent). States like Nagaland, Himachal Pradesh, and Sikkim are estimated to have the lowest share in FY26 capital outlay, contributing just 0.4 per cent. The report also mentioned that the total receipts of all 26 states are expected to rise to Rs 69.4 lakh crore in FY26, marking a 10.6 per cent increase from Rs 62.7 lakh crore in FY25. Revenue receipts are likely to grow by 12.3 per cent, while capital receipts may increase by 6.6 per cent in FY26. On the revenue side, the top five states contributing the most in FY26 include Uttar Pradesh (13.3 per cent), Maharashtra (11.3 per cent), and Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, and Rajasthan (5.9 per cent each). Tamil Nadu was also among the leading states in revenue receipts in FY25. The report also noted that states are expected to stick to their fiscal deficit targets in FY26. Around 12 states are projected to have a lower fiscal deficit (as a percentage of GSDP) than their median levels. Additionally, 13 states are estimated to be in revenue surplus during the year. (ANI)

Orders soar for Taiwan cleanroom firms amid global chip industry expansion
New Delhi [India], June 23 (ANI): Taiwanese cleanroom companies are receiving a wave of new orders as major global chipmakers expand production around the world, especially in the United States and Southeast Asia. United Integrated Services Co. (UIS), a longtime supplier to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), is one of the main winners in this trend. From January to May 2025, UIS secured NTD (New Taiwan dollar) 83.68 billion (USD 2.57 billion) in cleanroom-related contracts -- a new record for the company. Much of this growth is tied to TSMC's massive investment of USD 65 billion in three chip factories, known as 'fabs,' in Arizona. The first fab has already started mass production, and the second is nearly finished. With a total order backlog of NTD 132.27 billion (USD 4.45 billion), UIS is expected to receive even more orders later in 2025. Experts predict the company will have its highest-ever sales in 2025. L&K Engineering Co., another major cleanroom provider, is also seeing strong demand. It reported NTD 95.76 billion (USD 3.23 billion) in new orders in the first five months of the year, largely from Taiwanese firms building new fabs in Southeast Asia. L&K now has a total backlog of NTD 208.49 billion (USD 7.02 billion). Some of this comes from projects with United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC), which recently opened a new fab in Singapore. Production there will start in 2026. L&K is also working with Vanguard International Semiconductor Corp., which is building a 12-inch fab in Singapore with Dutch company NXP Semiconductors. That plant will start production in 2027. Other Taiwanese firms like Acter Group Corp. and Yankey Engineering Co. are also doing well. Acter now holds over NTD 46 billion (USD 1.55 billion) in orders, up from NTD 38 billion (USD 1.28 billion) at the end of 2024, helped by business from chip packaging company Siliconware Precision Industries Co. Yankey Engineering has NTD 40.67 billion (USD 1.37 billion) in orders, supported in part by Dutch equipment maker ASML's expansion in Taiwan. Cleanrooms are a critical part of chipmaking. They remove dust and other particles that could damage delicate components during production. As chip companies grow worldwide, demand for these high-tech spaces is rising -- and Taiwanese firms are leading the way. (ANI)
