OnePlus Pad 3 India availability confirmed: Here's when and what to expect

Mint12 hours ago
OnePlus Pad 3 is set to be available in India soon. The company initially introduced the Pad 3 in June alongside its OnePlus 13s compact smartphone, but did not provide details about its availability in the Indian market at that time. Now, OnePlus has confirmed the tablet will be available for purchase in India starting next month, though the official pricing will be announced later.
The OnePlus Pad 3 is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which is currently the fastest mobile processor offered by Qualcomm. This chipset supports smooth performance for everyday use, gaming, and other demanding tasks. The tablet offers two memory and storage options: 12GB of RAM with 256GB storage, and a higher-end model featuring 16GB of RAM with 512GB of storage. The device houses a 12,140mAh battery with 80W fast charging support.
The OnePlus Pad 3 features a 13.2-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 3.4K (2400 x 3392 pixels) and an adaptive refresh rate up to 144Hz. The display has a 7:5 aspect ratio, which OnePlus says improves the experience for reading and web browsing by providing a more square-like screen shape. The display can reach a peak brightness of up to 600 nits, claims the company.
Furthermore, the device runs on OxygenOS 15, based on Android 15. The system also includes AI-powered tools such as AI Writer, AI Summarise, Gemini, and Circle to Search, aimed at enhancing productivity. For multitasking, the tablet supports Open Canvas, which offers drag-and-drop capabilities and split-screen suggestions to facilitate easy switching between apps like maps, chat, and browsers.
The OnePlus Pad 3 will be available in two colour options: Storm Blue and Frosted Silver. While the Indian pricing remains undisclosed, the tablet is priced at around $699 (approximately Rs. 60,000) in the US and 529 euros (roughly Rs. 60,000) in the U.K.

Delhi govt unveils draft industrial policy to tackle red tape, attract investments

Dealing with regulatory 'inefficiencies' and bringing in a simpler registration and approval process is the way forward for Delhi to become a global business hub. This is at the core of the Delhi government's 'Draft Industrial Policy-2025-35', which aims to promote sectors such as banking, artificial intelligence and robotics. It also aims to promote the Research and Development (R&D) and Hospitality sectors to boost revenue and employment. The draft policy noted that the Capital's business environment suffers from 'significant regulatory inefficiencies' — including lengthy 4-6 month registration and licensing processes, multiple agency approvals, bureaucratic 'delays', 'corruption', and complex tax policies. This hinders businesses, especially SMEs, discourages FDI, and slows infrastructure development. 'To address this, Delhi must leverage AI-driven automation, digital governance, and investor-friendly frameworks to create a seamless and transparent economic ecosystem… so that Delhi can transform into a highly efficient and business-friendly hub, attracting investments, boosting employment, and accelerating economic growth,' reads the policy. The Industries Department has sought comments from the public and stakeholders on the draft. The steps recommended by the draft policy included implementing single-window business registration portals with blockchain verification for automated approvals and real-time tracking, inspired by Singapore's BizFile+ and Estonia's e-Residency. Enhancing regulatory transparency through blockchain-based systems to prevent manipulation and delays, as was in Dubai's Blockchain Strategy, accelerating commercial expansion and infrastructure development with one-stop digital approval systems and intimation-based regimes like Hong Kong's E-Submission Hub, were also suggested in the draft policy. 'The policy aims to harness the city's skilled human capital, create quality employment opportunities, and ensure inclusive, sustainable economic growth, while making optimal use of Delhi's limited land and environmental resources,' said officials. Under this policy, the government also aims to set up a Rs 400-crore venture capital fund. There are also plans to provide reimbursement of 50% fixed capital investment (including land) for five years for businesses in frontier-tech sectors up to a maximum limit of Rs 50 crore per project. In addition, there will be a 6% interest subsidy per annum for the first five years; reimbursement of 100% state GST for five years; 100% reimbursement of patent filing up to Rs 5 lakh per patent; and exemption of 50% on wheeling charges and transmission charges, on interstate purchase of power, reads the draft policy. Industrial areas in Baprola, Rani Khera and Kanjhawala have been earmarked for development of the frontier-tech services sector. Further, to boost the hospitality sector, the policy recommends permitting hotels and serviced apartments as part of commercial centres in industrial zones. The government has proposed a series of targeted interventions, including increasing hotel rooms near locations like ITPO at Pragati Maidan and Yashobhoomi for the hospitality sector under its policy. 'Facilitate the PPP model for developing tourism infrastructure at government facilities… Make Delhi a restaurant and bistro-friendly city with streamlined compliance and regulatory burden, and a reasonable alcohol policy,' reads the draft. An 'inter-departmental committee' will be formed to serve as a recommendatory body to the Cabinet for sanction of incentives across various sectors. A high-level review and monitoring committee will be constituted to monitor the implementation and progress of all the policy provisions regularly, said officials. Officials said the subsidies will be sanctioned by the Commissioner, Industries. Further, the draft policy recommends holding a Global Investor Summit and other events for promotion of the policy and industrial development in Delhi. There are a total of 32 planned and 27 unplanned industrial areas and 4 flatted factories in Delhi.

GMCH Nagpur Dean Performs India's First Public Sector Telesurgery From 1,A00km away

1 2 Nagpur: In a first-of-its-kind medical feat in the public healthcare system, Dr Raj Gajbhiye, eminent surgeon and dean of Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), performed two robotic surgeries from a distance of over 1,000km, while seated at a console in Gurugram. The historic procedures, carried out last week using the indigenously developed SSI Mantra Surgical Robotic System, mark India's first telesurgery in a govt hospital. The landmark operations — a hernia repair and a gallbladder removal — were performed by Dr Gajbhiye during his visit to the robotic facility in Gurugram. Despite the vast distance, both procedures were completed with flawless precision and minimal latency, thanks to the seamless integration of robotic technology and on-ground coordination by the surgical team in Nagpur. Dr Gajbhiye returned to Nagpur on Sunday after the successful demonstration. Calling the achievement a breakthrough for public health institutions in India, Dr Gajbhiye said, "This historic surgery sets a precedent for every govt medical institution in India. By successfully demonstrating telesurgery in a public setting, we are redefining the future of healthcare access and medical training. GMCH Nagpur is proud to lead this transformation in collaboration with SS Innovations International. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo " The SSI Mantra system, developed by Indian firm SSII, is the country's first and only indigenous robotic surgery platform. The success of this telesurgical procedure opens up new possibilities for delivering expert care to patients in remote or underserved areas — without the need for specialists to be physically present. "This is a defining moment for Indian healthcare," said Dr Sudhir Srivastava, founder and CEO of SSII. "Our vision is to make world-class surgical care accessible and affordable. With this collaboration with GMC Nagpur, the future of surgery has truly become borderless." This milestone reflects the growing role of indigenous innovation in bridging geographical barriers and democratising access to advanced surgical care, especially within India's public healthcare system. BOX How surgery was done - Dr Raj Gajbhiye operated on two patients in Nagpur while sitting at a robotic console in Gurugram - He performed a hernia and gallbladder surgery remotely - Surgeries were controlled in real time, with near-zero delay and full precision - His actions were relayed instantly to a robotic arm at GMCH Nagpur, guided by a support team - Technology allows expert surgeons to operate on patients in remote areas without being physically present - Reduces need for patients to travel long distances for complex surgeries

Look who's making kamikaze drones for Army: Two 20-yr-old engineering students

Jayant Khatri and Sourya Choudhary HYDERABAD: Bomb-dropping kamikaze drones - 300kmph, radar-proof. Assembled inside a hostel room of BITS Pilani's Hyderabad campus. The Army buys in. Two 20-year-old engineering students of the institute have stunned India's defence circles by building and selling cutting-edge UAVs to Army units across Jammu, Haryana's Chandimandir, Bengal's Panagarh, and Arunachal Pradesh - all within two months of launching their start-up Apollyon Dynamics. Their mission: reduce India's dependency on imported drones. Jayant Khatri, a mechanical engineering student from Rajasthan's Ajmer, and electrical engineering student Sourya Choudhury from Kolkata built their drones with off-the-shelf parts, customised the systems for Indian terrain, and pitched them to Army officers via cold messages on LinkedIn. "I just started shooting cold emails to whoever I could find... Luckily, a colonel responded and called us to Chandigarh for a demo," Khatri said Monday. What followed was a whirlwind - a live demo of bomb-dropping and racing drones, followed by more demonstrations to military regiments. Orders began flowing in. The company was born. Their standout product: a kamikaze drone that hits speeds over 300kmph, five times faster than standard commercial UAVs, and delivers 1kg payloads with pinpoint accuracy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "Our drones are not just fast - they can't be detected on radar," said Choudhury. The duo insists every UAV is built in-house with a focus on "ruggedness, reliability and adaptability". "Our shared love of robotics brought us together. We started with a defence-tech club on campus. Then came the orders - that's when we knew we had to go big," Choudhury said. The team now includes six second-year students and is working on next-generation VTOL & fixed-wing platforms to boost mission flexibility. They also offer hands-on training to military personnel - even those with no prior flight experience. "It's heartening to see what they've achieved," said professor Sanket Goel of BITS Pilani. In "3 Idiots", Joy Lobo's passion for machines died in silence - no support, no takers. In real life, two students built war-ready drones in a hostel room. The Army called back.
