While tightening the operating conditions for vehicles running on All-India Tourist Permits, reducing the maximum continuous period they can remain outside their home state from 90 days to 60 days, this new regulation is introduced by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. A New Regulation For All India Tourist Vehicles Moving ahead, this rule is brought in through the All India Tourist Vehicles (Permit) Amendment Rules, 2026 and it requires that each trip must either originate or conclude in the vehicle’s home state and mandates stricter monitoring through tracking systems and compliance checks. These newly introduced rules will come into effect from April 1 and are aimed at strengthening oversight of tourist vehicles and ensuring they operate strictly within the framework intended for tourism services.  Key Provisions  Let’s go through the provisions for these rules. Time Limit Reduced to 60 Days The tourist vehicles with an All-India Tourist Permit (AITP) must now not remain outside their home state for more than 60 days continuously, which is reduced from the earlier 90-day limit.  Besides this, a vehicle’s journey must either start or end in the home state, and it must return before exceeding 60 days out of state. Mandatory Tracking…  ​Read MoreBusiness Archives - Trak.in - Indian Business of Tech, Mobile & Startups

On February 17, Anthropic and Infosys  announced a collaboration to develop and deliver enterprise AI solutions across telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing, and software development. Anthropic and Infosys Collaboration  In this collaboration, they will be integrating Anthropic’s Claude models and Claude Code with Infosys Topaz, an AI-first set of services, solutions, and platforms using generative and agentic AI technologies, to help companies speed up software development and adopt AI with the governance and transparency that regulated industries require. When it comes to India, it is the second-largest market for Claude.ai, home to a developer community doing some of the most technically intense AI work we see anywhere. It appears that almost half of Claude usage in India involves building applications, modernizing systems, and shipping production software.  Being the global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting founded and headquartered in Bengaluru, Infosys is one of the first partners in Anthropic’s expanded presence in India. The CEO and Co-founder of Anthropic, Dario Amodei said, “There’s a big gap between an AI model that works in a demo and one that works in a regulated industry—and if you want to close that gap, you need domain expertise. Infosys has exactly that kind of…  ​Read MoreBusiness Archives - Trak.in - Indian Business of Tech, Mobile & Startups

India is about to witness a major leap in urban mobility with the launch of what is poised to become the fastest metro system in the country — the 120 Km Per Hour, 3 Coaches: India To Get Fastest Metro System In Meerut. The project, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will introduce a metro service operating at a maximum speed of around 120 km/h — significantly faster than conventional metro systems in India. High Speed Meets Metro Comfort Unlike typical metro trains that max out at about 80–100 km/h, the new Meerut Metro raises the bar with a top operational speed of 120 km/h, making it the fastest metro service in India upon launch. The metro is part of the broader Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor and runs on shared infrastructure with the advanced Namo Bharat semi-high-speed system. This integration allows not just faster travel speeds but also seamless connection between urban transit and longer intercity travel. The metro stretch from Meerut South to Modipuram covers around 21 km with all scheduled station stops included, promising commuters a 30-minute end-to-end journey. Sleek 3-Coach Trains for Modern Commuters The new metro trains consist of three coaches — compact…  ​Read MoreBusiness Archives - Trak.in - Indian Business of Tech, Mobile & Startups

Research and innovation are core indicators of academic strength — and patents are one of the most tangible markers of this. According to official data from the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trademarks, Galgotias University has filed an astonishing 2,297 patent applications since its establishment in 2011, more than some older public institutions like the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay and Indian Institute of Technology Madras. However, this volume of filings has not translated into substantive intellectual property rights (IPR). Only 24 of those applications — about 1% — have been granted patents, exposing a stark contrast between claims and achievements in actual innovation. Benchmarking Success: IITs vs. Private Universities Patent filing volume alone does not measure research impact. What matters more is conversion rate — how many applications are successfully turned into granted patents. On this measure, the IITs outperform private universities by a wide margin. Collectively, IITs have published 10,660 patent applications, with 6,675 of them granted — a roughly 63% success rate. In contrast, many private universities — including another high-filing institution with about 7,500 applications — see success rates in the 3–6% range or lower. This comparison underscores that publishing patents in…  ​Read MoreBusiness Archives - Trak.in - Indian Business of Tech, Mobile & Startups

Hello,The verdict is in: tariffs are out.The US Supreme Court ruled to strike down President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, and said that he exceeded his authority by invoking a federal emergency-powers law to impose his global reciprocal levies. The ruling brought much cheer to the retail markets, easing worries that tariffs would hurt the economic growth outlook and company earnings.So, what now? Well, if Trump does choose to pursue alternative legislation to reinstate tariffs, there are still avenues—albeit with major caveats, and none of the leeway of the law previously being invoked. Closer to home, India formally joined a US-led coalition to protect supply chains. The alliance, which includes countries such as Japan, South Korea, the UK and Israel, aims to strengthen critical minerals supply chains and deepen AI cooperation.Even amid a supply crunch, OpenAI appears to be keeping its cool. The ChatGPT maker said it has visibility into what it is going to need regarding chip supply, while emphasising the need for international cooperation on AI governance, according to a Bloomberg report. Lastly, Peak XV Partners is betting big on its India and APAC ventures, closing $1.3 billion in capital commitments to invest across its India Seed, India Venture, and APAC funds.‘Tis…  ​Read More​YourStory RSS Feed
