Minister says M-6 to cost Rs364b
Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives has clarified that the Cost of M-6 Hyderabad-Sukkur Motorway rationalized from 395 billion to 364 billion.
It is to clarify that during the Central Development Working Party (CDWP) meeting held on June 18, 2025, an error was made in the cost figure of the Hyderabad-Sukkur Motorway (M-6) project, which was inadvertently reported, said a release issued here on Friday.
The correct revised cost of the project, as recommended to the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC), is Rs364 billion, not Rs395 billion as initially stated in press release.

India's TCS says none of its systems were compromised in M&S hack
BENGALURU: Tata Consultancy Services said none of its 'systems or users were compromised' as part of the cyberattack that led to the theft of customer data at retailer Marks and Spencer, its client of more than a decade. 'As no TCS systems or users were compromised, none of our other customers are impacted' independent director Keki Mistry told its annual shareholder meeting. 'The purview of the investigation (of customer) does not include TCS,' Mistry added. This is the first time India's No 1 IT services company has publicly commented on the cyber hack. M&S did not immediately respond to a request for comment. TCS is one of the technology services providers for the British retailer. In early 2023, TCS reportedly won a $1 billion contract for modernising M&S' legacy technology with respect to its supply chain and omni-channel sales while increasing its online sales. Apple gives Tata India iPhone repair business as partnership expands The 'highly sophisticated and targeted' cyberattack which M&S disclosed in April will cost about 300 million pounds ($403million) in lost operating profit, and disruption to online services is likely until July. Last month, Financial Times reported that TCS is internally investigating whether it was the gateway for a cyberattack. Mistry presided as the chairman at the company's annual shareholder meeting as Tata Group Chairman N Chandrasekaran skipped it due to 'exigencies'. The chairman's absence comes as the Group's airline Air India plane with 242 people on board crashed after take-off in Ahmedabad last week, killing all passengers except one.

Apple wants AI to help build its next-generation chips
Apple Inc. is exploring the use of generative artificial intelligence to streamline and enhance the design of its custom silicon chips, a senior executive said, highlighting the tech giant's growing reliance on cutting-edge AI tools in hardware development. In previously undisclosed remarks made last month in Belgium, Johny Srouji, Apple's Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies, said the company sees 'high potential' in applying AI to electronic design automation (EDA), the software used to create semiconductors. 'Generative AI techniques have a high potential in getting more design work in less time, and it can be a huge productivity boost,' Srouji said during a speech while accepting an award from Imec, a leading semiconductor research group that collaborates with major global chipmakers. Johny Srouji, Apple's Senior VP of Hardware Technologies on Apple Silicon: One of the key lessons Apple learned was that it needed to use the most cutting-edge tools available to design its chips, including the latest chip design software from electronic design automation… — Ray Wang (@rwang07) June 19, 2025 The comments, reported by Reuters, offer rare insight into how Apple plans to expand AI usage beyond software and services into its hardware innovation process — a space traditionally dominated by precision engineering and years-long timelines. Apple designs its own chips, including the A-series for iPhones and M-series for Mac computers, and relies on EDA tools developed by firms like Cadence Design Systems and Synopsys, both of which are integrating AI capabilities into their platforms. In his address, Srouji traced Apple's silicon journey from the introduction of the A4 chip in 2010 to the chips powering its latest Vision Pro headset. He credited the company's philosophy of embracing cutting-edge technologies — and taking risks — for its success. He pointed to the transition of the Mac lineup from Intel processors to Apple Silicon in 2020 as a defining moment. 'Moving the Mac to Apple Silicon was a huge bet for us. There was no backup plan, no split-the-lineup plan. So we went all in, including a monumental software effort,' Srouji said. While Apple has remained tight-lipped publicly about its generative AI roadmap, CEO Tim Cook has recently acknowledged that the company is investing heavily in the space. Analysts expect more AI-related announcements during upcoming hardware and developer events.
