321 flights of IndiGo cancelled today so far from three major airports. #Aviation

BREAKING: DGCA and Ministry held meetings with IndiGo today and the outcomes are follows
1. The airline has SOUGHT exemptions for pilot rest and duty norms until Feb 10. The airline told the govt it misjudged its crew requirement
2. Delays and cancellations will continue for the next 2-3 days
3. Flights will be curtailed from December 8 to minimise disruptions

Absolutely terrible management by Indigo.

IndiGo’s crisis wasn’t triggered by transition to new fatigue rules alone. Over the months
- OTP (On-time performance) plunged from 84% in Oct → 68% in Nov → 19.7% on Dec 3
- 1232 flights cancelled in Nov, 755 due to crew shortages
-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
