'The past few quarters have seen prohibitive fares for advance bookings, only to dip closer to departure.'

Honda Cars India (HCIL) net profit dropped by 52.8 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to Rs 661.4 crore in 2023-24 (FY24), primarily due to deferred tax of Rs 359.8 crore, according to the annual results submitted to the Registrar of Companies (RoC) and reviewed by Business Standard

After a successful tie up in traditional ICE and strong hybrid models, Suzuki and Toyota are now set to take their partnership to the next level: the electric vehicle segment.Both the Japanese auto giants recently announced a plan to produce Suzuki eVX-based SUV which will be sold under Toyota brand across the globe.This electric SUV, bearing Toyota's logo, will go for production at Suzuki Motor Group (SMG) facility in Hansalpur, Gujarat beginning the spring of 2025, marking the first EV launch for both companies in India.

Airlines must ensure that all check-in counters at the Delhi airport are fully staffed to minimise passenger inconvenience as smog has started affecting the flight operations, Aviation Minister Rammohan Naidu directed on Wednesday.

In this work, we have studied the 2 ⁢ ν ⁢ β ⁢ βdecay of 7 6 G eand 9 6 Z risotopes utilizing large-scale shell-model calculations. The GWBXG effective interaction has been employed in the calculation of 2 ⁢ ν ⁢ β ⁢ β-decay nuclear matrix elements (NMEs). We have tested the effective interaction by comparing the predicted spectroscopic properties, such as energy spectra and transition probabilities, with the available experimental data. The variation of cumulative NMEs with respect to the state energies of the intermediate nucleus is also studied, corresponding to, and transitions between the parent and grand-daughter nuclei. The effective values of axial-vector coupling strength ( ) are calculated using the predicted NMEs and experimental half-lives for transitions. The extracted half-lives for and transitions using the shell-model predicted NMEs are consistent with the recent experimental data. The comparison of the shell-model predicted NMEs with previous NMEs available in the literature is discussed. Also, the computed branching ratios for the decay of and both the and single- decay of are reported corresponding to the calculated values.
