iPhones, iPads, Android smartphones and tablets sold in Europe get six new labels, here's what they mean for buyers
Starting June 20, 2025, the European Union has introduced new regulations requiring all smartphones and tablets sold within its borders to meet sustainability standards and display detailed energy labels at the point of sale. This initiative, a part of the EU's Green Deal, aims to reduce electronic waste, extend device lifespans, and empower consumers to make environmentally conscious purchasing decisions. The new rules mandate that devices carry standardized energy labels, prominently displaying scores for key attributes such as battery life, durability, and repairability. These labels, designed to be clear and consumer-friendly, include: * Energy Efficiency Class: Rated from A to G, indicating the device's power efficiency. * Battery Life per Charge: Expressed in hours and minutes for real-world usage. * Battery Longevity: Measured in charge cycles, with a minimum requirement of retaining 80% capacity after 800 full cycles. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo * Repairability Score: Graded from A to E, reflecting ease of repair and access to spare parts. * Drop Resistance Rating: Indicating the device's durability against physical damage. * Ingress Protection Score: Assessing resistance to dust and water. Each label also features a QR code linking to the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL), where consumers can access detailed technical specifications and compare environmental performance across models. The regulations align closely with practices already adopted by industry leaders like Apple. Most iPhones receive software updates for over five years, and Apple provides official repair services, a self-service repair program, and access to genuine parts for out-of-warranty devices. However, the EU's requirements introduce stricter formalities, particularly regarding battery performance and spare parts availability. Under the new rules, batteries must retain at least 80% of their original capacity after 800 charge cycles, a standard that may require manufacturers like Apple to adapt their testing to comply with the EU's framework. While Apple publishes battery specifications online, formal compliance with the EU's testing protocols could necessitate additional adjustments. Furthermore, manufacturers are now obligated to provide key spare parts for seven years after the last unit of a model is sold in the EU—a mandate that slightly exceeds Apple's current support timeline of five to seven years. The EU's push for sustainability is expected to influence global manufacturing standards, as companies adjust to meet the bloc's rigorous requirements. Environmental groups have praised the move, citing its potential to curb the 14 million tons of electronic waste generated annually in the EU. However, some industry analysts warn that compliance costs could lead to higher device prices, particularly for budget models. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

Cognizant to invest $183 million for new India campus, add 8,000 jobs
Software services firm Cognizant Technology Solutions will invest ₹15.82 billion ($182.76 million) to build a new campus in the southern Indian city of Vishakapatanam that will create about 8,000 jobs, the State Government announced on Friday (June 20, 2025). Commercial operations will begin in March 2029, an Andhra Pradesh Government press release said. Cognizant did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The announcement comes just months after India's top IT firm, Tata Consultancy Services, unveiled plans for ₹13.70 billion campus in the same city, and is expected generate 12,000 jobs. The move aligns with Cognizant's strategy to optimise real estate costs. In May 2023, Chief Executive Ravi Kumar S. said the company would relinquish 11 million square feet of office space globally, mainly in India's largest cities, while investing in tier-2 Indian cities. Globally, IT companies, including those in India's $283 billion sector, are taking cost-cutting measures such as monetising real estate assets and delaying wage increases amid demand uncertainty. Last month, the Teaneck, New Jersey-based company raised its annual revenue forecast and beat first-quarter results driven by increased demand for AI-powered IT services. Cognizant expects 2025 annual revenue between $20.5 billion and $21.0 billion, compared to previous outlook of the midpoint of $20.30 billion to $20.80 billion. ($1 = 86.5625 Indian rupees)

Lighting the spark in U.K.-India cultural relations
May was a month of magical bonanza for United Kingdom-India relations. The long-anticipated Free Trade Agreement was ratified by both Prime Ministers, and it was another milestone that illuminated a different but equally significant dimension of their partnership: culture. On May 2, U.K. Secretary of State for Culture, Rt Hon Lisa Nandy, and India's Minister for Culture, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, signed the Programme of Cultural Cooperation (POCC). This landmark agreement promises to light up the cultural corridor between the two nations, reaffirming their shared creative spirit. The POCC outlines five programme areas: digital technologies for culture, exhibitions and collections, performances and events, cultural property, and sustainability. These themes directly support the creative economy, a core sector driving the U.K. government's industrial strategy. This agreement signals a shared commitment to cross-cultural collaboration and economic growth. Before arriving in Delhi to sign the POCC, Ms. Nandy, the first Labour Cabinet Minister of Indian heritage, was the highest-ranking international delegate at the World Audio Visual & Entertainment Summit (WAVES) Summit, held in Mumbai. In her keynote, she powerfully highlighted the collaborative potential of the India-U.K. cultural and creative industries, sustainable by nature and an employment multiplier. The growth of the creative arts sector Globally, the creative arts sector is rapidly growing, projected to reach 10% of global GDP by 2030. At the G-20 New Delhi Leaders' Summit in 2023, global leaders unanimously called for greater investment in the sector. India hosting WAVES for the first time underscored its commitment, resulting in significant business deals and international agreements. The POCC between India and the U.K. builds on this momentum. It brings together the Indian Ministry of Culture, the U.K. government's Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport and the British Council in India, alongside major U.K. cultural institutions — including Arts Council England, the British Library, the British Museum, the Natural History Museum, and the Science Museum Group. With over 1,700 accredited museums in the U.K., the scope for partnerships with their Indian counterparts is tremendous, especially around leveraging digital technology for sharing cultural experiences and heritage. At its core, the POCC signals hope: the creative economy can foster a more inclusive future, encompassing tech-driven sectors such as gaming, digital content, film, OTT, television and more — creating opportunities for skilled workers and innovators. That is great news for India. With its deep cultural heritage, cutting-edge technology, skilled artisan base, and the world's largest youth population, India is uniquely positioned to lead. India's creative economy, valued at $35 billion, employs nearly 8% of its workforce, second only to agriculture. According to the Asian Development Bank's report (2022), 'Creative India: Tapping the Full Potential', six of India's top 10 creative hubs — from Badgam in Jammu and Kashmir to Tiruppur in Tamil Nadu — are in non-metro regions. This shows India's diverse cultural heritage. India, with over 300 universities and 3,000 colleges offering courses in design, arts, and architecture, is nurturing a global creative workforce. A role for the U.K. In 2023, during India's G-20 presidency, the U.K. played a pivotal role in supporting the cultural agenda. Artistic partnerships, creative project grants, and year-long cultural exchanges, such as Wales in India, which culminated at the 2024 Hornbill Festival in Nagaland, furthered that agenda bilaterally, redefining India-U.K. cultural ties and building lasting bonds. Why do these global partnerships matter so much? First, the creative economy is evolving rapidly. It faces challenges including skilled labour shortage. To meet this, we need sustained investment in education, vocational training and apprenticeships. International collaborations can help empower creative professionals with global competencies and best practices. Second, emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR) are transforming the sector. As the British Council's recent report, Arts and Technologies in India: Reimagining the Future argues, it is time to integrate it into India's creative education framework. Cultural exchange and cross-border partnerships can support professionals in navigating this digital shift. India's creative canvas is expanding, driven by cultural wealth, youth potential, and a bold vision. Prime Minister Narendra Modi envisions India as a global creative hub — and with a three-pronged approach focused on education, skills, and international collaboration, we are well on our way. But it will require sustained cooperation between government, industry and academia to make that vision a reality. Businesses and projects Indian companies, too, are doing their bit. Take Royal Enfield, the iconic U.K.-India motorcycle brand, which is working in the Himalayas through its Social Mission. In partnership with UNESCO, it is helping to safeguard intangible cultural heritage and working with over 580 artisans through its textile conservation project, The Himalayan Knot. This initiative not only preserves sustainable textile traditions but also creates new market linkages for craft communities. Ms. Nandy heard this story first hand at the reception hosted in her honour by British High Commissioner Lindy Cameron and this writer in Delhi, where the Serendipity Arts Festival's Birmingham chapter was also launched — a moving reminder of how businesses can be storytellers too. What truly binds the U.K. and India together are their people and their stories. In a world grappling with conflict and uncertainty, culture and creativity remain among the most time-tested healers of relations between people and nations. And in that, we have every reason to celebrate — and invest in — the creative spark that unites us. Alison Barrett, MBE, is the Country Director India at the British Council
