Indian infrastructure faces increasing risks as the country experiences rapid economic growth. Critical infrastructure such as airports, power grids, and water supplies are vulnerable to physical and cyber attacks that could significantly disrupt the country. As India's GDP growth rate is projected to be 7-9% through 2022, investment in infrastructure will put pressure on security. Airports managed by the Airports Authority of India are at risk of terrorist attacks similar to the hijacking of IC-814 in 1999. The Civil Aviation Security setup in India involves multiple organizations to provide security in a layered approach and categorizes airports based on threat levels to apply appropriate security measures.
The need for re-energising the electricity sector is therefore urgent. This can be achieved through a series of steps such as commitment to buy, an acceptable fuel price, operation of stranded capacity, commercial orientation of utilities, domestic fuel availability, creation of an integrated national grid with enhancement of inter-regional transmission capacity and promotion of competitive markets in all elements of the chain. Among other things, the cover story in January 2013 issue of our Business Digest throws light on some of these critical aspects of reform in the Indian electricity sector.

Robotics - Mainstream or Marginal for Process Industries?Yokogawa1
Whereas robotics have been crucial to factory and warehouse automation for decades, the technology in process industry applications continues to be relatively new and emerging. Savvy operators are realizing the value of robotics in enhancing process safety and efficiency in daily operation and maintenance activities. Robots are performing operator runs in hazardous areas and drones have been deployed on inspections routes in difficult-to-access locations across process complexes. Yet, process operators still face many challenges when it comes to widely adopting robots. How can users integrate robotics into existing operations, control systems and standard operating procedures? Can they use the data collected from robots and combine it with artificial intelligence to provide actionable knowledge? Where do robotics reside on the digital transformation roadmap that ultimately leads to autonomous operations? In this session, participants will learn about Yokogawa's robotics vision, which steps beyond Industry 4.0 and digital transformation to achieve industrial autonomy.

For the complete report, get in touch with us at : info@netscribes.com
IPv6 adoption in India is currently in its nascent stage; however with the exhaustion of IPv6 address slots coupled with the plethora of initiatives taken by the Government of India, the market is expected to gain significant traction in the ensuing years. Additionally, factors such as the emergence of IPv6 compatible infrastructure, burgeoning internet usage and the cost benefits associated with IPv6 are driving forces in the market.
The IPv6 report begins with an introduction which proceeds with brief definitions of IPv4 and IPv6, followed by an illustration of the evolution of IPv6 globally. The section concludes with a comparative study based on technical aspects and header formats further distinguishes the two versions of internet protocols.
Market overview talks about the global scenario of IPv6, with a special focus on the Indian IPv6 market. The section primarily begins with a global perspective of IPv6 deployment plan followed by an overview of the market during 2008 – 2011. Explicit details pertaining to the ‘Address Allocations’ with respect to both ‘Individual’ and ‘Volumes’ of IPv6 addresses, have been listed in this section. The report houses a section wherein global distribution of IPv6 (both ‘Individual’ and ‘Volume’), featuring the top 5 economies to have adopted IPv6 and the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) to have distributed IPv6 since 2008 till 2011. Boling down to Asia Pacific National Information Registry (APNIC), which caters to the address allocation needs of Asia Pacific, details pertaining to the distribution addresses in the sub regions have been graphically illustrated. Moving along, the section features an overview of the Indian market which furnishes data such as the market share of the leading ISPs in 2011 and the current and future scenario of IPv6 in India.

‘वोटर्स विल मस्ट प्रीवेल’ (मतदाताओं को जीतना होगा) अभियान द्वारा जारी हेल्पलाइन नंबर, 4 जून को सुबह 7 बजे से दोपहर 12 बजे तक मतगणना प्रक्रिया में कहीं भी किसी भी तरह के उल्लंघन की रिपोर्ट करने के लिए खुला रहेगा।
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

11. CIVIL AVIATION SECURITY
AIM & PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
AIM : To safeguard International civil
Aviation Operations against acts of unlawful
interference.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE : Safety and
security of passengers, crew, ground
personnel, general public, airports, aviation
installations
12. CIVIL AVIATION SECURITY
SET-UP IN INDIA
BCAS - Regulatory Authority for civil aviation security
in India responsible for the development,
implementation and maintenance of the National Civil
Aviation Security.
Security functions at all the airports in the country were
performed by the police personnel till January 2000.
In order to bring in uniformity and ensure effective control
and supervision, airports security was entrusted to a single
force CISF instead of different State Police forces.
The dedicated CISF contingent earmarked for aviation
security functions at airports in India has been notified as
Aviation Security Group (ASG).
13. LEVEL OF THREATS
Based on threat perception selected preventive security
measures are applied at the Airports.
There can be three levels of threat conditions
(a)Baseline: In the absence of verifiable intelligence
information there may be the possibility of unlawful
interference by individuals or groups due to causes such
as civil unrest, labour disputes and the active presence
of anti-government factions.
(b)Intermediate: Intelligence information indicates
probability of attack on aircraft operators and/or airports.
(c)High: Intelligence information indicates specific aircraft
operator and/ or airports are targeted for attack.
14. CATEGORIZATION OF AIRPORTS
Based on threat perception at the airport all
operational airports in the country get
categorized as follows:
Normal airport
Sensitive airport
Hyper sensitive airport
