An airport is more than a place where flights arrive and depart. As passenger numbers rise, airports are increasingly becoming gateways to commerce, tourism, retail, hospitality and entire urban ecosystems. In India, one major airport operator is now preparing to expand that role significantly. Adani Airport Holdings (AAHL) has entered into agreements to raise approximately $1 billion in new equity from a consortium including Singapore's Temasek, BlackRock-managed funds, Alph

Airports are no longer simply places where journeys begin and end. They are becoming large scale ecosystems that combine transport, retail, hospitality, technology and commercial development. This shift is taking shape in India, where Adani Airport Holdings Limited has entered into agreements to raise approximately US$1 billion in primary equity from a consortium of global and domestic investors, including Alpha Wave Global, Premji Invest, Temasek and BlackRock managed funds.

What can a construction equipment manufacturer learn from Formula 1? Quite a lot, if the focus is on precision, engineering and the relentless pursuit of performance. Komatsu and Atlassian Williams F1 Team have renewed their global partnership, extending a collaboration that brings together two very different industries with a shared interest in engineering excellence, technology and developing the next generation of talent. The renewed partnership expands the technical colla

A tractor may look like a machine built simply to pull, lift and move. But as agriculture becomes increasingly connected, the modern tractor is becoming something more: a mobile platform where power, precision and digital intelligence work together. That is the thinking behind the new ARION 5 CMATIC, unveiled by CLAAS at Innov-Agri in France. The new four-cylinder series comprises three models delivering up to 180 hp and 730 Nm of torque, combining compact dimensions with the

For more than a century, DEUTZ has been associated with engines. Now, the company is preparing to enter a very different chapter. In a move that could significantly reshape its future, DEUTZ shareholders have approved the acquisition of FFG Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft, paving the way for the company to expand from engine manufacturing into the defence sector. The transaction received around 99.7 percent of votes at DEUTZ’s extraordinary general meeting, reflecting st

Formula 1 has a way of turning a single race into a statement about the future. At the inaugural Spanish Grand Prix at Madrid’s new Madring circuit, 20-year-old Kimi Antonelli delivered exactly that. The Mercedes driver secured his eighth Grand Prix victory of the 2026 season, beating Max Verstappen and Lando Norris in a race where strategy proved just as decisive as speed. A Virtual Safety Car created the turning point, allowing Mercedes to make a well-timed pit stop while N

Twenty million vehicles is more than a number. It is a measure of how far a company has travelled, and in Chery’s case, how dramatically the journey has changed direction. On 25 July 2026, Chery Group surpassed 20 million cumulative vehicle sales, 29 years after the company began its journey. Fittingly, the milestone vehicle was the all-new FULWIN, a name that traces back to the very first vehicle Chery produced and its first model to enter overseas markets. Today, FULWIN has

Between July and August, Emirates carried more than 8.6 million passengers, while its network is now operating at around 93% of its pre-disruption capacity. Demand for the coming winter season is also tracki

A construction site is constantly changing. Walls rise, materials move, machines operate and hundreds of decisions are made around what is happening on the ground. But what if all of that activity could be captured, understood and turned into actionable information? That is the idea behind Procore’s acquisition of DroneDeploy, announced in July 2026. The move brings DroneDeploy’s reality-capture capabilities together with Procore’s construction management platform, with the g

What if buying a commercial vehicle felt less like visiting a traditional dealership and more like configuring a mobility solution built around your business? That is the idea behind Eicher Trucks & Buses’ new dedicated Eicher Pro X dealership in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, India. Opened through ATC Mobility Private Limited, the 7,000 sq. ft. facility brings sales, service and spare parts together under one roof, creating a more connected ownership experience for fleet operat

For years, the smartphone has followed a familiar formula: a screen that fits in the hand, a camera that keeps getting better and a design that changes only so much. Apple is now opening that formula up. On September 9, the company introduced iPhone Duo, its first foldable iPhone, bringing together a compact 5.4 inch outer display and a 7.6 inch inner display in a design built to transform between phone and larger workspace. The new device is more than a larger screen that fo

What determines how far someone can go in an organisation? Is it where they started, how long they have been there, or simply what they are capable of becoming? For DIMO, the answer lies in meritocracy, an approach that places contribution, capability, potential and conduct at the centre of career progression. As Dilrukshi Kurukulasuriya, Chief Human Resources Officer and Executive Director of DIMO, explains, factors such as age, gender, social background, school, personal co
