-New FDTL norms = 48 hrs weekly rest, capped night landings, no consecutive night duties
-But pilot strength didn’t keep pace: 417 aircraft vs 5500 pilots

The ₹4,500-cr revamp of the state-owned Semi-Conductor Laboratory, Mohali is now taking shape, with Tata Semiconductor, Cyient Semiconductors and Applied Materials emerging as L1 bidders for the three key packages.


-SCL to leap from 180 nm legacy chips to 28–65 nm industrial chips for power, energy, imaging & defence

-Capacity to jump 100×, scaling to 1,500 wafers per month

-Today, SCL offers limited fabrication, testing & packaging for startups. Post modernisation, it may emerge as a foundry for pilot production, tapeout, prototyping & small-batch manufacturing for chip design startups, researchers and academia

-One key bottleneck remains: 25 acres stuck with the Punjab govt, with a ₹700–800 cr land price demand delaying full-scale expansion
