**Why Qualcomm is Facing an Antitrust Probe in China**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 12, 2025, 06:21 PM*
**The Story**
China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) has launched an antitrust investigation into US-based semiconductor giant Qualcomm. This probe follows Qualcomm’s admission that it failed to notify Chinese authorities about its acquisition of Israeli connected-vehicle technology provider Autotalks, a deal completed in June 2025. This occurred despite SAMR’s explicit order that the transaction required regulatory approval.
**Regulatory Oversight**
In March 2024, SAMR informed Qualcomm that its acquisition of Autotalks needed approval from the Chinese market regulator. However, later that same month, Qualcomm notified SAMR that it would not be taking any further action to seek the necessary approval.
Despite this, Qualcomm proceeded with the acquisition in June 2025 without informing Chinese authorities. This disregard for regulatory requirements triggered SAMR’s antitrust investigation into possible violations of China’s anti-monopoly law related to the transaction.
**Qualcomm’s Market Position in China**
Qualcomm plays a significant role in China’s smartphone market, supplying chips to major manufacturers such as Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, and OnePlus. The company’s market capitalization currently stands at approximately $165.72 billion.
Although the ongoing antitrust probe has led to a drop in Qualcomm’s share prices, the company remains a dominant player in the global semiconductor industry. Qualcomm maintains a diverse client base across various sectors, reinforcing its importance in the technology ecosystem.

**Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal Set New Record for Highest-Ever Opening Partnership Against Australia in ICC Women’s World Cups**
*By Gaurav Tripathi | Oct 12, 2025, 06:17 PM*
In a stunning display of skill and teamwork, Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal have set a new record for the highest-ever opening partnership against Australia in ICC Women’s World Cups. The remarkable feat was achieved during India’s group stage match against Australia on Sunday in Visakhapatnam.
The duo surpassed the previous record held by England’s E Bakewell and D Thomas, who had put together 101 runs in the inaugural World Cup of 1973. Mandhana and Rawal are now the only pair to have registered a century stand against Australia in Women’s World Cup history.
### Record-Breaking Feat: Highest Opening Stand Against Australia
According to ESPNcricinfo, Mandhana and Rawal also set a new record for the highest-ever opening partnership against Australia in Women’s One Day Internationals (ODIs). Together, they constructed an impressive 155-run stand before Mandhana was dismissed for 80 runs.
Starting their innings cautiously, the duo gradually took control and unleashed some brilliant strokes, particularly against two of Australia’s premier bowlers, Sophie Molineux and Ashleigh Gardner. Their partnership was highlighted by a series of well-timed boundaries that thrilled fans.
### Milestone Achievement: Second ODI Partnership for Mandhana and Rawal
The ninth over of the match was a turning point when Rawal struck a six followed by a four off Gardner, pushing their partnership past the 50-run mark. This marked their 14th 50-plus stand in ODIs, placing them second only to Harmanpreet Kaur and Mithali Raj, who have 18 such partnerships for India.
This partnership was also their sixth opening stand across 21 WODI innings, with only Mithali Raj and Punam Raut having more century stands for India in this format (7 each).
### Partnership Progress: Fourth Century-Plus Stand of 2025 for the Duo
At 93 runs in the 18th over, Rawal was given a reprieve after being dropped. The partnership quickly climbed to surpass the 100-run milestone, marking their fourth century-plus stand in 2025 alone. This achievement is second only to Australia’s Belinda Clark and Lisa Keightley, who had five such stands in 2000, and New Zealand’s Suzie Bates and Rachel Priest with four in 2015.
### Smriti Mandhana Surpasses 5,000 WODI Runs
Mandhana was eventually dismissed for 80 runs off 66 balls, which included 9 fours and 3 sixes. During this innings, she crossed the significant milestone of 5,000 WODI runs, becoming the fastest woman to do so, achieving it in just 112 innings.
Her career tally now includes 13 centuries and 33 half-centuries. Additionally, with her 18th run in the game, Mandhana became the first-ever batter to complete 1,000 runs in a calendar year in WODIs.
### Pratika Rawal Scores Seventh WODI Fifty
Rawal contributed a solid 75 runs off 96 balls, featuring 10 fours and a six. The 25-year-old now has eight scores of 50 or more across 21 WODI appearances, including one century.
ESPNcricinfo reports that her seventh WODI fifty has taken her overall run tally to 982 runs at an impressive average of 49.10. This was her second fifty against Australia in just four outings and also marked her maiden fifty in the Women’s World Cup.

This landmark partnership by Mandhana and Rawal not only highlights the depth and talent in the Indian women’s cricket team but also sets the stage for an exciting campaign ahead in the World Cup.

Sundays are for soft paws, warm naps, and the ultimate act of feline affection: cats cuddling each other. Few things melt hearts faster than two fluffy friends snuggled up like furry yin and yangs, purring in perfect harmony.
It’s the kind of sight that makes you forget your to-do list, your responsibilities, and maybe even letting your coffee go cold—because nothing beats that level of cuteness. These cuddle puddles prove that cats, for all their sass and independence, have a seriously sweet side.
They groom each other with tiny kisses, curl into matching loaves, and drift into synchronized snooze mode as if recharging their shared supply of adorableness. It’s teamwork, tenderness, and top-tier fluff all rolled into one.
While hoomans spend Sundays worrying about Monday, cats have the right idea. A soft blanket, a trusted friend, and a nap that could win awards. Watching two cats curled up together is pure therapy for the soul. No stress, no drama, just purrfection.

**Why India’s Electric Truck Makers Are Struggling to Go Local**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 12, 2025, 05:21 PM*
—
India’s electric truck industry is facing significant challenges in meeting the government’s localization demands. Despite efforts by leading manufacturers like Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland to produce local components and promote green logistics, they have struggled to pass the required localization tests. This slowdown is further compounded by the low market demand for electric trucks.
### Government Localization Push
The Indian government has been actively pushing e-truck manufacturers to comply with an ambitious localization plan. Recent consultations between the Union Heavy Industries Ministry and key industry players—including Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles, and Murugappa Group’s IPLTech—highlight the government’s focus on this initiative.
Under the *phased manufacturing program* (PMP), introduced in July as part of the ₹10,900 crore PM E-Drive scheme, manufacturers face strict deadlines for localizing components that are currently imported, mainly from China.
### What Is the Phased Manufacturing Program?
The PMP mandates that specific e-truck components—such as HVAC systems, electric compressors for brakes, charging inlets for standard EV chargers, battery management systems, vehicle control units, and traction motors—must be progressively manufactured domestically. The initial cut-off date for importing most of these parts was September 1, 2025.
### Policy Adjustments Amid Supply Challenges
Due to disruptions in the supply of rare earth magnets from China, the government has recently relaxed its rules. It now permits manufacturers to import traction motors that incorporate these magnets from Chinese suppliers. Additionally, the PM E-Drive scheme for e-trucks and e-buses has been extended by two years to FY28, reflecting underutilization of allocated funds for these vehicle segments.
### Testing Delays and Localization Bottlenecks
Despite the government’s push, no e-truck model has successfully passed the localization test over two months since the guidelines came into effect. This delay indicates a slow transition toward using locally sourced parts. Authorities have urged manufacturers to accelerate the localization process to clearly demonstrate which components in e-trucks and e-buses are made in India.
### Growth in Local Production
Encouragingly, several Indian auto component makers have begun ramping up local production of critical parts. Companies like Sona Comstar and Toyota Kirloskar Auto Parts Ltd are now manufacturing traction motors and trans-axles domestically. These efforts align with the government’s ₹25,938 crore production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for automobiles and auto parts, which requires at least 50% of spare parts and raw materials to be sourced within India.
### Market Hurdles and Cost Concerns
E-truck manufacturers cite uncertainty in market demand as a key reason for the slow adoption of local components. However, the government notes that sectors such as ports, steel, and cement are keen to adopt green logistics solutions, indicating potential for growth.
Another significant challenge is the cost. Transitioning from diesel trucks to electric models is expensive for businesses, as electric trucks currently cost between 20% and 50% more than their diesel counterparts. This price gap poses a hurdle for faster adoption across industries.

India’s electric truck sector stands at a critical juncture where government policies, manufacturing capabilities, and market realities must align to accelerate localization and promote sustainable transportation.
