Procurement rules for scientific research eased
Mumbai: In a resounding shift, the ministry of finance eased a long-standing bottleneck in procurement rules that once tethered researchers to the govt e-Marketplace (GeM), now allowing them to source scientific equipment and consumables from outside it. The revision in monetary ceilings and procurement channels, officials say, required the direct intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. For the scientific community, this isn't just administrative reform—it's an acknowledgment and a huge relief. "Science cannot be caged in platforms and progress cannot always be L1," said a frustrated scientist, who said procurement was running into long delays because of cost and quality issues. The spirit behind GeM portal is, in principle, noble, said most scientists—designed to uplift Indian suppliers and foster a self-reliant manufacturing ecosystem. "But behind the digital veneer of transparency and procurement lies a troubling reality." "As a scientist, I ask—what truly serves the nation? If I want to order a computer that serves my requirements today, I cannot buy one unless it is L1," said professor at the School of Biotechnology at Jawaharlal Nehru University, Binay Panda. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Successful Way of Intraday Trading is "Market Profile" TradeWise Learn More Undo Five amendments have been made to existing procurement rules. Vice-Chancellors and directors of India's top scientific and academic institutions no longer have to wait for clearances to procure scientific equipment and consumables for research. Under the newly eased rules, they now hold the power to approve Global Tender Enquiries—up to a staggering Rs 200 crore—if they believe the need is justified. No central nod, no extra scrutiny. Just their judgment. Similarly, the ceiling for direct purchases—those made without quotations—has been raised from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 2 lakh. And what once required a drawn-out trail of tenders—purchases from Rs 1 to 10 lakh—can now be cleared by a purchase committee for anything up to Rs 25 lakh. Additionally, the limits on limited tender enquiry have been lifted—from Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore. And perhaps, most telling of all, said scientists—the need for open tenders—earlier triggered at Rs 50 lakh—will now apply only to purchases above Rs 1 crore. Minister of State for Science and Technology, Jitendra Singh, took to social media and termed this as "a landmark step" for enabling #EaseOfDoingResearch. "This will reduce delays, also enhance autonomy and flexibility for research institutions—empowering them to innovate faster," he added. Secretary of the Department of Science and Technology, Prof Abhay Karandikar, said, "It was made possible by the collective efforts of everyone, including other scientific secretaries, PSA, Department of Expenditure and Cabinet Secretariat. " Another scientist explained that in this "algorithm-driven marketplace, the lowest bidder always wins, never mind if the product fails the test of quality. What use is cost-efficiency if it sacrifices precision and most importantly, the requirements of a scientific experiment? What use is patriotism if it's only glued on?" "They don't really make these products here," added Prof Panda. "They import many parts, assemble them locally, and slap on a Make in India sticker—as if that alone sanctifies the machine." He quickly added, "If there is a good Indian product, we do not think twice. We prefer make-in-India by default—it's more affordable, support is better, and it's close by." Most scientists echoed this. However, "We don't want to buy an Indian product if science suffers. "

Xiaomi's game-changing chip stuns tech world, even China cheers while the U.S. watches nervously
What is Xiaomi's Xring 01 chip and why is it a big deal? 2 Cortex-X925 cores at 3.9 GHz (for top-level performance) 4 Cortex-A725 cores at 3.4 GHz (for high-load tasks) 2 Cortex-A725 cores at 1.9 GHz (for medium use) 2 Cortex-A520 cores at 1.8 GHz (for efficiency and power saving) How much did Xiaomi invest in developing the Xring 01 chip? Live Events Can Xiaomi's chip really compete with Apple and Qualcomm? Why is the Chinese government praising the Xring 01 chip? What does the future hold for Xiaomi and China's chip industry? FAQs: (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Xring 01 chip is making global headlines, not just for its powerful performance but for what it represents — a major leap in China's bid to become a tech powerhouse. This is Xiaomi's first true high-end processor, developed entirely in-house and launched to compete directly with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 and Apple's A18 Pro. In a rare move, even the Chinese government publicly praised the chip, underlining its national significance. After four years of intense development, this chip could reshape the balance in the global semiconductor Xiaomi Xring 01 is a newly launched System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designed to power flagship devices like the Xiaomi 15S Pro and Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra. Built on licensed ARM architecture, it uses a unique ten-core configuration split into four clusters:This architecture lets the chip balance raw power with energy efficiency. According to Xiaomi, it's been benchmarked to outperform Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite and even the Apple A18 Pro — two of the most powerful chips on the market Xring 01 is the result of four years of R&D, involving over 2,500 engineers and a massive investment of 13.5 billion yuan (around €1.67 billion). This is not a one-time push. Xiaomi's CEO, Lei Jun, confirmed that the company plans to pour another €6 billion into semiconductor development over the next ten chip also marks the birth of a new processor line for Xiaomi, as the '01' naming signals the beginning of an entire Xring family. The company isn't just trying to make devices faster — it's aiming to become a serious player in the global chip tests say yes — and that's a big deal. Xiaomi claims the Xring 01 matches or beats Qualcomm's top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite and performs better than Apple's A18 Pro. These are early benchmarks, so real-world performance might vary, but the results have already turned isn't Xiaomi's first time building chips. Back in 2017, they introduced the Surge S1, but it never made a serious impact. The Xring 01, by contrast, appears to be in a completely different class, positioning Xiaomi alongside the world's most advanced tech has long wanted to reduce its dependence on foreign tech — especially American chips. That's why the launch of a powerful homegrown chip like the Xring 01 has drawn praise from Chinese officials, who see it as a national achievement in the global tech rising tensions between China and the United States, chip technology has become a strategic battleground. After the U.S. blocked Huawei from accessing chip-making giant TSMC, Chinese firms have rushed to find local alternatives. Huawei now uses SMIC, a Chinese chip foundry, but it still can't compete at the sub-7nm for now, still uses TSMC to manufacture the Xring 01. But with global pressure mounting, the company is reportedly working on a 'Plan B', anticipating the kind of trade sanctions that hit breakthrough is more than just a technical win — it's a geopolitical milestone. With the Xring 01, the company has proven it can design chips that rival or surpass the global best. What's left is manufacturing autonomy. If China can close that final gap, it could challenge the U.S. and Taiwan's dominance in now, Xiaomi has joined the frontlines of this tech revolution. As more Chinese firms follow, the global chip landscape may never look the same Xiaomi's powerful new processor that competes with Apple's A18 Pro and Snapdragon 8 powers the Xiaomi 15S Pro and Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra.
