Apple's latest set of iPads is selling at a lower price in India, which might be a little hard to believe for some, because discounts on new devices rarely happen.

The iPad Air M3, as well as the iPad 11, were recently introduced in India, and these models are now available on Amazon with big discount offers.

Apple says its new M3 chip delivers a big performance leap over older models. Compared to the M1, it's nearly twice as fast, and it's significantly quicker than iPads powered by the A14 Bionic. This added power makes the iPad Air M3 suitable for users who want to do tasks like editing videos, creating content, or playing advanced games. People who have been using iPads with older chipsets should consider upgrading to the Air M3 model, but Air M2 users should skip this deal.While the performance has taken a clear step forward, the overall design of the iPad Air hasn't changed much. Just like the M2 model, the M3 version continues with Touch ID embedded in the power button and has the same clean, lightweight build. But those looking for advanced features will still find the iPad Pro a step ahead.The iPad Air, for instance, skips on Face ID — a feature that makes unlocking the device more seamless — and also misses out on the dedicated function row on the Magic Keyboard, something the iPad Pro offers. For users who frequently adjust volume, brightness, or media controls through physical keys, this absence might be a slight inconvenience.Apple has, however, launched a refreshed Magic Keyboard for the iPad Air alongside the new model. While it carries a similar look and layout to the one made for the iPad Pro, the build quality isn't as premium. That said, it does include a 14-key function row, giving users quick access to useful shortcuts.advertisementThe display experience on the iPad Air M3 remains unchanged from the previous model. The 11-inch version still supports up to 500 nits of brightness, while the larger 13-inch model goes up to 600 nits. Both screens support True Tone and P3 Wide Colour, offering vibrant visuals with colour accuracy.On the camera side, Apple continues to offer capable hardware. The front camera is a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor that supports Center Stage, which keeps the user in the frame during video calls. The rear camera is also 12MP and can shoot 4K videos at 60fps, along with slow-motion clips at 1080p and 240fps.In short, the iPad Air M3 offers a significant speed upgrade while keeping most other things familiar when compared with the older iPad Air models. It's a reliable option for users who want pro-like performance without stepping into iPad Pro territory.

BMC extends tender deadline second time in a month to clear Deonar dumpsite
For the second time this month, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has extended the deadline of its ambitious Rs 2,368 crore tender which was floated for appointing a contractor to remove solid waste that are currently lying untreated at the Deonar dumpsite through the scientific method of bio-remediation within three years. The Deonar dumpsite is one of the sites that have been selected by the state government for constructing housing tenements for the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP)–a venture steered by the Adani group and Maharashtra government's Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA). The tender was floated on May 14, and the initial deadline was set up at June 3, which was later revised to June 23. Meanwhile, the new deadline stands at July 1. A total of 21 bidders have shown interest in the project. However, till date BMC officials said that no formal bid was submitted by any of the 21 interested parties that had evinced interest in the project. Civic officials said that the primary reason behind the extension is mainly due to the queries that are being submitted by bidders. 'Just because 21 firms have shown interest doesn't mean that all of them will submit their bids and unless we get an adequate number of bidders to submit their bids the deadline will be extended because we want to have competitive pricing,' the official added. At present, the Deonar dumpsite houses 1.85 crore metric tonnes (MT) of legacy waste which are stacked on piles forming large mounds rising upto a height of 40 metres. In its tender document, the BMC has maintained that a total 271-acre portion of the larger 311-acre dumpsite will be cleared. 'The queries raised by officials were mainly related to logistical challenges. A large number of them shared their concern about how such a large pile of legacy waste could be cleared within a three-year period especially because in Mumbai monsoon is there for four months. So, the contractor will lose 12-months within the total 36-month contract since this process can't be executed during the rainy season. So technically, the appointed contractor will get a 24-month window to complete the work,' a civic official told the Indian Express. The officials said that all the contractors who have submitted queries are Indian firms associated with solid waste management (SWM). Some of these firms are based out of Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The BMC's move of floating a tender to clear the dumpsite also came seven months after the state government in October last year earmarked 124-acre of the Deonar dumpsite for constructing housing tenements for the DRP which is being executed by a special purpose vehicle–Navbharat Mega Developers Private Limited (NMDPL)–where the Adani Properties Private Limited (APPL) holds 80% of the stake, while the remaining 20% is with SRA.

Zerodha's Kamath brothers invest Rs 250 crore in InCred
BENGALURU: Zerodha co-founders Nikhil and Nithin Kamath have invested Rs 250 crore to acquire a minority stake in InCred Holdings Limited, the holding company of InCred Financial Services Ltd (IFSL). This comes ahead of InCred's proposed IPO later this year. IFSL is a tech-enabled NBFC focused on consumer, education, and SME lending. Since its founding in 2016, the company has used data science, risk analytics, and digital-first operations to serve customers across India. "India's credit ecosystem is changing fast—more formal, more digital, and more accessible,' said Nikhil Kamath, investor and entrepreneur. 'InCred Group seems to get that. They've built a strong team, a technology-first approach, and a clear view of where the market is headed. Backing them is a bet on that broader shift—and the belief that responsible lending can scale without losing sight of fundamentals," he added. Founded by Bhupinder Singh, InCred Group has built a diversified lending platform serving retail and MSME borrowers across the country. Its differentiated edge lies in deep data science, proprietary risk analytics, and digital-first operations, positioning it at the forefront of India's next-gen NBFC space.
