AI-enabled CCTV cameras to curb illegal parking on roads leading to airport
Pune airport director Santosh Dhoke told TOI that a feasibility study was under way. "It will take some more time, after which the final report will be ready. We had initial talks about the project with an agency. Based on the final report, these cameras — recently installed on FC Road — will be put up here too," he said.
Y S Rajput, the vice-president of AeroMall, told TOI, "The agency recently gave a presentation on the functioning of the cameras, and we hope to get these soon.
During the late evening hours, both these roads are clogged most of the time. Private cars and cabs are parked on either side. There have been many complaints about the same."
Airport officials said a total of 3-4 such cameras could be installed by the end of August. "Both these roads are important for access to the airport. Illegal parking on these roads has been a problem for a long time. It is mainly done in the late evening and night hours, when police personnel are not present," another airport official said.

"The modern cameras equipped with digital screens can automatically detect any vehicles parked wrongly. Once a vehicle is tracked, its registration number will flash on the screen. Around a minute will be given to the vehicle owner to remove it, failing which an online challan will generate automatically without zero human interference, ruling out chances of arguments," another airport official said.
Vimannagar's frequent flier Sushil Pandey said during the rains, the situation becomes tougher.
"These roads are narrow and illegally parked vehicles cause a major problem. It took me almost an hour to go from the AeroMall to the Wiekfield Chowk, a distance of around 300 to 400 metres, earlier this month because it was raining and vehicles, mainly cabs, were parked on both sides of the road. Cab drivers enter the AeroMall only when they get a long trip," the IT professional said.
Prashik Ojha, another frequent flyer, said, "Owners of even costly cars don't want to spend money on parking at the AeroMall or at another private parking lot on the VIP Road, right before the AeroMall.
I have seen the police taking action against these in the daytime, but it is a free-for-all type of situation at night. Even autorickshaws are parked anywhere in front of the airport, hindering vehicles' movement," the working professional said.
TOI reported earlier this month that the airport authorities were planning to introduce a time-bound entry system at the facility to curb congestion. The airport director said they were planning a system under which any private vehicle found parked in the circulating area of the terminal building would be fined Rs500. "We are conducting a detailed study on the system at present, after which it will be sent to the headquarters for approval," Dhoke said.

Delhi To Make Business Pitch To World
New Delhi: Delhi govt has released a draft industrial policy for 2025-35, promising to establish a Rs 400-crore venture capital fund, reimburse Rs 50 crore in capital investment, and promote a plug-and-play model of development in public-private partnerships (PPP) to boost the service sector in the national capital. According to sources, Delhi govt possesses vast land in three proposed industrial areas at Baprola, Ranikhera and Kanjhawala, as well as existing ones in Bawana, Narela and other parts of the city. These areas are suitable for setting up "non-polluting, non-water intensive and high-margin service industries". However, a conducive atmosphere and incentive-based policies are required to attract big players to invest in the capital, a senior Delhi govt official said. The draft industrial policy focuses on three major sectors: frontier tech services such as banking, financial services and insurance, artificial intelligence, big data, gaming, animation, biotech, and information technology and IT-enabled services, apart from research and development (R&D), and hospitality. It has been made public to invite feedback and suggestions from stakeholders. Officials said the policy will remain in place for 10 years from the date of notification or until a new policy replaces it.

"Investor-friendly initiatives need to be introduced for fintech, AI, biotech, and research and development sectors, encouraging leading global companies to set up headquarters in Delhi," the document stated. According to the draft policy, the scarcity of commercial office spaces, along with the ever-increasing demand for transport and logistics facilities and the requirement for skilled labour, has contributed to a reduction in the IT and ITeS sector's contribution to Delhi's economy. With the new policy, govt aims to augment the availability of expansive office spaces, ensure dependable power and transportation infrastructure, and foster robust R&D endeavours in innovative technologies. Apart from setting up a venture capital fund and reimbursing up to Rs 50 crore of capital investment, govt has decided to offer a 6% subsidy per annum for the first five years and reimbursement of 100% state GST for five years, among other incentives. It has also suggested various greenfield interventions to promote the sector and support the intellectual property rights ecosystem with fast-track approvals on patents. In the R&D sector, the policy proposes expanding reach within academic and research institutions, Rs 10 lakh support, creating a portal to highlight existing capacity, infrastructure and available funds. Setting up mini research and innovation clusters for tech upgrades, adoption of best practices and cross-fertilisation of ideas, collaboration between govt and the private sector for training and capacity building, new grants and remodelling old grants are also proposed. Moreover, the draft recommends holding global investor summits and other events to promote industrial development in Delhi. To transform the capital into a global hub for business and leisure tourism, govt has proposed a series of targeted interventions, including increasing hotel rooms near locations like ITPO at Pragati Maidan and Yashobhoomi for the hospitality sector. To ease congestion and encourage a walk-to-work culture, the policy has proposed allowing hotels and serviced apartments within commercial centres located in industrial zones. Such facilities can also be developed by converting plots that are accessible via 30-metre-wide roads. The policy has also emphasised developing tourism infrastructure on govt-owned facilities through PPP arrangements. Further, to enhance Delhi's culinary and nightlife appeal, the draft recommends making the capital a restaurant- and bistro-friendly city by streamlining regulatory compliance and having a reasonable alcohol policy. The policy proposes providing credit enhancement to MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions) infrastructure through a scheme in coordination with banks, by using a venture capital fund of Rs 400 crore. "The hospitality industry showcases Delhi's unique identity and contributes significantly to the local economy. The policy recognises the immense potential of hospitality, and through strategic initiatives, it aims to attract tourists and provide an exceptional and memorable experience," it said. Delhi's business environment, the policy noted, suffered from "significant regulatory inefficiencies", including lengthy 4- to 6-month registration and licensing processes, multiple agency approvals, bureaucratic "delays", "corruption" and complex tax policies. This "hinders" businesses, especially SMEs, "discouraging" FDI and "slowing" infrastructure development. "To address these issues, Delhi must leverage AI-driven automation, digital governance and investor-friendly frameworks to create a seamless and transparent economic ecosystem," the policy suggested, urging adoption of best practices like those in Dubai, Shanghai and Singapore.

Danger ahead? Paytm boss Vijay Shekhar Sharma shares AI-powered vedic astrology warning on air travel
Amid a spate of aviation mishaps , Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma has turned to Vedic astrology—powered by AI—for insight into the risks associated with air travel. Taking to social media platform X, Sharma shared a screenshot of an astrological analysis generated by AI. According to the post, the period from now until November 2025 is marked as a "Danger Zone" due to certain planetary alignments.

'What's Happening: Rahu in Pisces, Saturn Retrograde, Mars transits Outcome: Risky,' the analysis read. Live Events — vijayshekhar (@vijayshekhar) The phase from November 2025 to March 2026 is described as a "Transition" period, during which Rahu shifts to Aquarius and Saturn goes direct—potentially bringing gradual improvement. Post March 2026, the analysis forecasts a "Safer Phase" as there are "no major malefic influences." Explaining the underlying factors, the post stated: 'Rahu in Pisces (Meena) – until Nov 2025. Why it's important: Rahu rules illusion, machinery, and technology. In Pisces—the sign of oceans, skies, and dissolution—it creates confusion in water and air travel.' The potential effects include foggy decisions, technical failures, and hidden threats such as engine issues and miscommunication. The post sparked mixed reactions online. One X user commented, 'Interesting—let's see if those astrological trends align with real-world aviation shifts.' Another sarcastically quipped, '100 out of 99 of your tweets aren't relevant to Paytm.' Ironically, Sharma's post came on the same day as a tragic crash in Bangladesh, where at least 19 people were killed after a Bangladesh Air Force training jet crashed into a school. In another devastating incident last month, 260 people died in India when an Air India aircraft crashed into a medical college hostel in Ahmedabad. A string of other engine failures and aviation-related scares in recent weeks has only deepened public anxiety around air travel—making Sharma's astrological warning all the more timely, whether you believe in the stars or not.
