Uttar Pradesh set to develop Rs 700-crore EV manufacturing park on 500 acres in Kanpur
The Uttar Pradesh government on Monday said it is set to establish Kanpur as a major hub for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing with an investment of around Rs 700 crore.
Under the Kanpur Metropolitan Development Vision - 2030, Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA) will develop a cutting-edge EV park over 500 acres near Bhimsen along the dedicated freight corridor, according to an official statement.
"With an estimated cost of Rs 700 crore, the project will be executed under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model and is poised to position Kanpur as a key player in India's EV ecosystem," the statement said.

"The primary objective of the EV park is to strengthen the local supply chain for electric vehicles and promote indigenous manufacturing," it added.
The park will house units for manufacturing electric motors, chassis, steel parts, and lithium-ion cells.
Live Events
Facilities for assembling lithium-ion batteries, chargers, controllers, and electronic components will also be established, according to the statement.
A dedicated research and development (R&D) centre will be a vital part of the project, driving innovation and facilitating advanced product development. This R&D unit is expected to contribute not only to local progress but also to the global advancement of EV technologies, it added.
The government believes the establishment of the EV park will not only position Kanpur as an EV manufacturing hub, but will also significantly boost the state's economy.
"Alongside the park, an integrated EV components cluster is being developed to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in producing parts and components. This will create fresh opportunities for local entrepreneurs, startups, and generate substantial employment," it said.
Its proximity to the dedicated freight corridor gives the park a strategic advantage in terms of logistics and connectivity. Well-connected by rail and road networks, it will facilitate smooth transportation of raw materials and finished goods, the statement added.

In poll-bound Bihar, PM to flag off export of locomotives to Guinea
PM Narendra Modi (File photo) NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to flag off export of the first locomotive from Marhowrah factory in Saran for Guinea in West Africa on Friday, signalling the NDA govts' — both at Centre and state — thrust on accelerating economic activities in poll-bound Bihar. Railway ministry officials said that 150 Make in India Evolution Series (ES43ACmi) locomotives for SimFer's Simandou iron ore project in Guinea worth more than Rs 3,000 crore are being manufactured. Simandou will be Africa's largest mining project. 'In the current financial year, 37 locomotives will be exported, another 82 locomotives will be shipped out in 2026-27 and the remaining 31 locomotives in the third year,' said an official. Though the Marhowrah diesel locomotive factory (DLF) was announced by then railway minister Lalu Prasad, it remained inactive. Spread over 70 acres, the factory was established in 2018 to indigenously manufacture 1,000 state-of-the-art locomotives. The annual production capacity of the factory is over 100 locomotives. The contract to export the locomotives was awarded to Wabtec Locomotive Private Ltd, a joint venture between Indian Railways and US-based Wabtec Corporation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo All these locomotives will have AC cabs. Each locomotive will have a single cab. Two locomotives together can carry the load of 100 wagons with maximum permissible speed. 'For manufacturing of these locomotives, three types of tracks — broad gauge, standard gauge and Cape guage have been laid in Marhowrah premises,' said another railway official. Officials said with the Indian Railway network achieving full electrification, there is a huge scope for exporting diesel locos to countries where there is demand. 'It's an opportunity to increase our export of locos that match the best standard across the globe. For Bihar, it will be a big milestone,' said an official.

Air India cancels Mumbai to Ahmedabad flight operated by Airbus
Air India flight AI2493 from Mumbai (BOM) to Ahmedabad (AMD), operated by an Airbus A321-211 (VT-PPL), was cancelled on Monday. According to ANI sources, the flight was initially delayed due to an operational issue. However, during the delay window, the crew's Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) came into effect, resulting in the cancellation. The flight was scheduled to depart at 6.35 pm and arrive at 7.55 pm, but did not depart. In another incident, a Ranchi-bound Air India Express flight was forced to return to Delhi on Monday after a suspected technical issue. This marks one of several Air India-related disruptions reported in the past 36 hours, raising fresh concerns over recurring technical glitches.

Indian-origin professor wins Gödel Prize: Eshan Chattopadhyay and David Zuckerman awarded; breakthrough research in Computer Science
Eshan Chattopadhyay (left) and David Zuckerman (right) (Image credit: Cornell University official website & The University of Texas at Austin official website) Eshan Chattopadhyay, associate professor at Cornell University and David Zuckerman, professor of computer science at The University of Texas at Austin have been awarded the 2025 Gödel Prize. The prize was awarded for their research paper, 'Explicit Two-Source Extractors and Resilient Functions,' which presents a landmark solution to a central open problem in randomness extraction. Originally published in 2019, the paper introduced a novel method for constructing explicit two-source extractors—mathematical tools used to generate high-quality randomness from two weakly random sources. Eshan Chattopadhyay, an Indian-origin professor, completed his PhD at The University of Texas at Austin before joining Cornell University. His research focuses on pseudorandomness, circuit complexity, and communication complexity. In 2021, he received the National Science Foundation CAREER Award. Expressing his gratitude, Chattopadhyay said, 'This recognition is truly an incredible honor. The Gödel Prize has celebrated some of the most beautiful and foundational work in our field. It feels surreal—and deeply gratifying—that our paper is being placed in that category.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo David Zuckerman earned his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley. He is widely recognized for his foundational contributions to pseudorandomness and computational complexity. His impact in the field was earlier recognized with the 30-Year Test of Time Award at FOCS 2021. Zuckerman on being conferred the award said, 'Previously, most research on randomness extraction focused on seeded extractors.' 'Now, our work—and the works that followed—have demonstrated major advances in two-source extractors and Ramsey graphs. I hope this attracts young talent to the field,' he added. Named after the renowned logician Kurt Gödel, the Gödel Prize is jointly awarded by ACM SIGACT and the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science. It will be formally presented at the ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC) in Prague this June.
