Only 8 per cent of Global Capability Centres (GCCs) have advanced significantly across the three dimensions key to enterprise value - innovation , competitive differentiation and operational efficiency , a new report from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) said.India, the US, and Mexico emerged as the most balanced GCC ecosystems, with India uniquely combining scale, innovation, and efficiency, it said.The report called for a step-change in how organisations structure, invest in, and activate their GCCs, not just as support engines, but as core drivers of innovation, AI adoption , and business outcomes.While GCCs are evolving rapidly in scope and ambition, the majority remain focused on delivery execution, under-utilising their potential to act as capability hubs powering enterprise-wide transformation."A new report from Boston Consulting Group (BCG), 'Rewriting the Global Capability Center Playbook: Scaling Maturity with AI', finds that only 8 per cent of GCCs have advanced significantly across the three dimensions most critical to enterprise value - innovation, competitive differentiation, and operational efficiency," it said.The report found that tech, media, and telecom firms lead in maturity, driven by higher investment in AI initiatives and depth of innovationIt underlined AI, advanced AI use cases, including GenAI, and AI agents, as critical accelerator of GCC maturity While top performers have moved beyond pilots to embed AI across core workflows, most GCCs remain trapped in early-stage experimentation, it said."GCCs which treat AI as a bolt-on will never close the gap," Rajiv Gupta, Managing Director and Senior Partner at BCG, said.The frontrunners have strategically embedded AI into their operating models, at a scale which makes a material difference at the enterprise level. The leaders are not experimenting, they are delivering meaningful outcomes.Over 90 per cent of top-performing GCCs implement advanced AI use cases versus about 50 per cent of others."The risk for others is falling into an autopilot mode," Gupta added.

RBI's 50-bps repo cut to boost mid-income, affordable housing demand
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel The Reserve Bank of India 's decision to cut the repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.5% is expected to help improve housing affordability and prop up demand for residential properties across the country, especially in the mid-income and affordable housing segments, experts is the third consecutive rate cut by the central bank so far in 2025 taking it to a cumulative 100 basis points. The rate cut comes amid signs of slowing momentum in housing sales in some markets, as sustained price increases begin to weigh on buyer sentiment.'The rate cut is expected to bring down home loan interest rates, improving affordability and widening access to homeownership. This could provide a meaningful push for first-time buyers and households looking to upgrade, especially in price-sensitive urban and suburban markets. We expect this move to translate into increased enquiries and faster decision-making in the coming months,' said Deepak Goradia, CMD, Dosti home loan rates likely to ease following this rate reduction, realty developers are optimistic about a fresh wave of end-user activity.'For the real estate sector, this rate reduction is set to bolster credit lending, accelerate buying velocity, and enhance development momentum.

Reduced funding costs are expected to improve project viability for office and retail developments, especially in under-construction assets that rely on institutional debt.

100 flights to be cancelled at Delhi Airport for runway closure
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Around 100 flights will be cancelled daily at Delhi Airport from 15 June as the airport will shut one of its runways for 28/10 of the Capital's IGI Airport needs to be shut for its landing instruments to be upgraded. The first attempt to do this in April had to be aborted within four weeks after flight schedules descended into chaos, with the airport unable to handle its typical load of roughly 1,400 flights a day on three of its airport will upgrade the runway's Instrument Landing System (ILS) to CAT III B standards—an enhancement aimed at enabling operations during low-visibility conditions common in Delhi's foggy winters. The runway's lighting system also needed to be extended from 650 to 900 is India's busiest airport with around 1,450 aircraft movements impact on airfare will be limited, airline executives said as the period of mid-June has been chosen after extensive consultation due to this being a lean season due to monsoon.'The Delhi airport handles 1,450 aircraft movements per day. Out of these, 114 daily movements will be cancelled during the runway upgrade,' Videh Kumar Jaipuriar, CEO of Delhi Airport said on Friday.'The number of cancellations will be in the range of 7-7.5 per cent, compared to the usual 3-4 per cent on a normal this time we have coordinated with airlines in advance and rescheduled flights accordingly, which will help reduce any cascading impact,' he is important to upgrade the ILS as during the fog season, the arrival capacity of all runways comes as arriving aircraft have to be spaced out/ In case of westerly winds, arrivals drop from 42 per hour to 30 per hour during CAT III-B operations. But with easterly winds, arrivals currently fall sharply from 42 per hour to just 15 per hour. Once the upgrade is complete, that number will go up to 30 even with easterly winds, significantly improving to rework slot allocations and align with the revised arrival capacity. ' The process is meticulously done and lot of support has been given from regulators side and we believe the departure will be much less,' said Debashish Saha, vice president and delegated accountable manager, SpiceJet 'The objective was to ensure optimum use of available runway capacity while maintaining on-time performance,' he added.
