India has implemented a new Intra Circle Roaming (ICR) service that allows mobile users to maintain connectivity even in areas with weak network signals. Launched on January 17, the service enables customers of BSNL, Jio, and Airtel to automatically connect to any available network when their primary network is unavailable.

The ICR service operates through mobile towers funded by the Digital Bharat Nidhi (DBN) program. Under this initiative, telecom providers can share infrastructure, allowing users to switch seamlessly between networks at the same tower location without incurring additional charges.

The government’s program aims to establish approximately 27,000 mobile towers to provide coverage to more than 35,000 villages. Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia introduced the service, emphasizing its role in improving education, healthcare, and economic activities in underserved areas.

This marks a significant change from the previous system, where DBN-funded towers were restricted to use by the operators who installed them. The new shared infrastructure approach is expected to reduce the need for additional towers while improving resource utilization for telecom companies.

The service primarily benefits users in rural and remote areas, where network connectivity has traditionally been challenging. By allowing access to any available network at DBN-funded towers, the initiative aims to reduce dropped calls and improve data speeds across regions.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced that the company will invest $3 billion in India over the next two years to expand cloud and AI infrastructure, build new datacenters, and train 10 million people in AI and cloud skills by 2030.

Speaking at the Microsoft AI Tour in Bengaluru, Nadella highlighted India’s growing role in AI innovation. He said this investment would help make India an AI-first nation and create opportunities for people and businesses across the country.

Expanding AI Infrastructure

Microsoft plans to increase its datacenter capacity in India to support the rising demand for AI technology. The company already has three operational datacenter regions and a fourth set to open in 2026. This expansion aligns with India’s goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047.

The company will continue its ADVANTA(I)GE India programme, which aims to train 10 million people in AI skills by 2030. So far, Microsoft has trained 2.4 million people, focusing on women and participants from smaller towns and cities.

According to Shri Jayant Chaudhary, Minister of State for Skill Development, partnerships with companies like Microsoft are essential for equipping India’s workforce with modern skills and supporting economic growth.

Supporting Start-ups and Innovation

Microsoft also launched an AI Innovation Network to help transform AI research into practical solutions for businesses. The company has partnered with SaaSBoomi to strengthen India’s AI and SaaS (Software as a Service) ecosystem, aiming to impact 5,000 start-ups, create 200,000 jobs, and attract $1.5 billion in investment over the next five years.

Microsoft is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its operations. New datacenters in India will use innovative cooling systems that don’t require water, and the company has secured renewable energy contracts to power its operations.

This $3 billion investment reflects Microsoft’s vision to support India’s digital transformation, create jobs, and build a skilled workforce. By expanding infrastructure and fostering innovation, Microsoft aims to help India become a global leader in AI.

Moto G05, which was previously released in global markets, is now launching in India. The specifications and features remain identical to the global variant. Motorola is targeting the budget segment with this smartphone, offering it in a single memory configuration.

Motorola Moto G05 Specs and Features

It has a 6.67″ FHD+ Display with a 90Hz refresh rate, Gorilla Glass 3 protection, IP52 water repellent, and water touch technology (you can play with the screen even when your hands are wet). And it is going to be the segment’s first to offer 1000 nits of peak brightness.

Under the hood, we will see MediaTek Helio G81 Extreme paired with up to 12GB of RAM Boost with 4GB of built-in RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The phone will boot from Android 15 out of the box, which Motorola claims to be segment’s only. Motorola will only offer 2 years of security patch updates and no OS upgrade with this smartphone.

The rear will have a 50MP quad-pixel camera, and the front will have an 8MP selfie shooter. Featuring a 5200 mAh battery, Motorola claims it will give you around 2 days of battery life (39 hrs talk time, 70 hrs playback, 19 hrs video playback, 28 hrs of internet browsing, 19 hrs of social media) and will ship with 18W fast charging support.

For sound, it has Dolby Atmos dual stereo speakers which will offer 7 times more powerful bass. It will come in two Pantone-curated color options, red and green, with an 8.1mm thickness and 178.8g weight.

India is looking at a ₹230 billion rupee ($2.68 billion USD) subsidy package to support its electronics manufacturing sector, Bloomberg reports. The plan would include subsidies and lower tariffs to reduce production costs for smartphone makers like Apple.

The proposed plan would add to India’s existing production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme and focus on building a local component supply chain. Part of the plan involves cutting import tariffs on key electronic parts like batteries, camera modules, and microprocessors. Right now, India’s tariffs on these parts are between 0% and 20%, which is 5-6% higher than countries like China and Malaysia, according to Niti Aayog research.

Apple has been making phones in India since 2017, and Indian-made iPhones now make up about 15% of its global production. The company started making iPhone 16 in India a few weeks after its global release.

If the plan goes through, future models like the iPhone 17 might be made in India and China at the same time. This comes as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s efforts to increase electronics manufacturing in India, which has already brought companies like Apple and Samsung to set up or expand production in the country.

Here’s what we know about Sony Honda’s brand new car. The AFEELA 1, just shown off at CES 2025, will be produced at a state-of-art plant in Ohio. This all-electric vehicle is the first product from Sony Honda Mobility (SHM) under the AFEELA brand.

This car is packed with tech. It features AFEELA Intelligent Drive, the company’s own advanced driver assistance system, with 40 different sensors including cameras, LiDAR, radars, and ultrasonic sensors. The brain behind it all is an ECU with computing power of up to 800 TOPS, using AI to help with perception, prediction, and planning. It even shows you what’s happening around the car using Unreal Engine on the display.

Inside, it’s all about what Sony Honda calls “Mobility as a Creative Entertainment Space.” Each seat gets its own display and speakers, with Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Technologies and special noise-canceling tech making everything sound amazing. The oval-themed design aims for comfort both inside and out, with sleek surfaces and no unnecessary decorative lines. About 70% of the interior surfaces use eco-friendly materials, and they’ve even used recycled materials in the body steel plate and chassis.

On the road, the car uses a 3D Motion Management System that controls the motor, brakes, and suspension for a smooth ride on any surface. It should go about 483 kilometers (300 miles) on a charge, and you can use Tesla’s Supercharger stations across the US. Color choices include Tidal Gray, Calm White, and Core Black, with the Signature model offering both Black and Gray interior options.

“We are very pleased to unveil AFEELA 1, developed for the era of autonomous driving, at CES 2025. AFEELA 1 can be called a buddy, combining advanced software with meticulously refined hardware. We will meet our customers’ expectations by providing a safe, secure, and comfortable travel experience,” said Yasuhide Mizuno, Chairperson and CEO of Sony Honda Mobility Inc.

Pricing and Availability:

The AFEELA 1 will come in two versions: the Origin model starting at $89,900 and the Signature model at $102,900. Both include a 3-year subscription package with AFEELA Intelligent Drive, AFEELA Personal Agent, immersive entertainment content, theme sets for digital customization, and 5G connectivity.

The Signature model adds 21-inch wheels, a rear entertainment system, and a C-CMS (Center Camera Monitoring System). Interested buyers can reserve one now with a fully refundable $200 deposit. Deliveries will start in California in mid-2026, with Japan getting the car later that year.
