Guaranteed MSP demand is not without basis
Farmers are demanding a legal guarantee for MSP (minimum support price) which in simple terms will ensure them a fixed income, provided they are able to harvest a normal crop. But first, the facts and some background to the demand for MSP. When a similar demand came up before the 2019 elections, the Centre’s top brass announced in October 2018 that MSP would be henceforth fixed at minimum 50 per cent profit over costs. For the first two or three years after October 2018, farmers complained of receiving less than the MSP. The best part about a legal guarantee will be the uniformity in returns across crops.

Apple pulls the plug on its billion-dollar car project to focus on generative AI
Apple has scrapped its long-rumoured electric car project, according to multiple sources, putting an end to a secretive and costly endeavour that has been in the works for over a decade. Apple shifts gears from car to AI after scrapping Project Titan. The electric car project, known as Project Titan, was estimated to have cost Apple billions of dollars in research and development, and its cancellation is a significant reversal of its previous strategy. Earlier this year, Bloomberg reported that Apple had pushed back its expected launch date for the car to at least 2028. During an earnings call earlier this month, Cook said that Apple was investing “a tremendous amount of time and effort” on artificial intelligence and would introduce generative AI features to its customers within the year.
