Tesla is revving its engines (well, revving its electric motors) as the company is planning to enter India, the world’s third-largest auto market. The company has started producing right-hand drive models at its Berlin Gigafactory in Germany, specifically designated for the Indian market. This hints at potential exports to India as early as this year.
A team from Tesla is expected to visit the potential factory locations later this month
An official announcement of Tesla’s Indian entry is still forthcoming, but their commitment seems strong. A team is expected to visit potential factory locations later this month, with an estimated investment of $2 billion USD (roughly 14.48 billion yuan) earmarked for the project.
India’s recent policy change has played a significant role in attracting Tesla. The new policy offers reduced import taxes on certain electric vehicles, with the condition that manufacturers invest at least $500 million and establish production within three years. This policy change also allows overseas car companies to import up to 8,000 cars annually at a lower tax rate.
Tesla’s ambitions in India go beyond just exporting vehicles. They plan to invest in the country’s charging network infrastructure and source more components locally. Three southern Indian states – Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Gujarat (Prime Minister Modi’s home state) – are being considered as potential factory locations, with construction expected to take around two years.
Tesla’s move to enter India is a clear sign that the company wants to expand their presence in the Asian market, with India emerging as a crucial player. Their entry will be keenly observed, especially considering the recent policy changes and the growing demand for electric vehicles in India.

News about foldable iPhones has been popping up every now and then, but there haven’t been many detailed reports about Apple launching one soon.
A recent report adds to this trend — those expecting a foldable iPhone from Apple may need to lower their expectations. According to a new report from DigiTimes, Apple has significantly pushed back its plans to enter the foldable smartphone market.
Based on information from South Korean sources, the report indicates that Apple has delayed the release of its first foldable iPhone from the fourth quarter of 2026 to the first quarter of 2027.
This delay means that the earliest we might see a foldable iPhone is around the same time as the potential release of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 9.
Samsung introduced its first foldable device back in 2019 and has matured the technology to the point where foldables can be used as daily devices.
Meanwhile, Apple has continuously delayed its launch plans, expressing concerns that the technology isn’t yet mature enough to meet its high standards. Lo and behold, this gives Samsung a bigger headroom to dominate in the foldable space.
Interestingly, Apple hasn’t changed its plans for component supply. Display providers like Samsung Display and LG Display are still set to deliver flexible displays for the foldable iPhone.
Moreover, it’s said that Apple has reassigned some of its personnel from the Vision Pro AR/VR headset project to work on the foldable iPhone.
Reports indicate that Apple is considering two possible designs for its foldable iPhone. One resembles a book, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold, with a 6-inch external screen and an 8-inch internal display. The other design is a clamshell-style foldable, akin to the Galaxy Z Flip series.
As for when or if Apple will actually launch its foldable device, that remains uncertain for now. However, it’s clear that the Cupertino-based company is actively working on the technology, which gives hope for its eventual release.
After the powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake near Taiwan, worries have emerged regarding possible interruptions to the worldwide chip supply chain. Taiwan is a major hub for semiconductor manufacturing, and so speculations have risen about the condition of the semiconductor factories in the aftermath of the earthquake. However, NVIDIA, one of the largest companies in the AI sector, has assured stakeholders that its chip supply remains unharmed.
US-based NVIDIA, which heavily relies on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) for its chip production, has confirmed that the earthquake has not impacted its supply chain in the country. TSMC, responsible for fabricating chips for numerous tech giants like Apple, AMD, Qualcomm, and NVIDIA, has reported no damage to critical chip-making equipment, including the Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography machines.
Although some tools were damaged at certain TSMC facilities, the core machinery remains intact. TSMC temporarily evacuated some production facilities as a precautionary measure, to ensure the safety of its employees. However, within just 10 hours after the earthquake, operations have resumed at 70-80% capacity.
TSMC said that it could resume its operations quickly thanks to its preparedness for such events. For instance, TSMC has used building dampers and conducted regular earthquake drills to mitigate the impact of any seismic activity on semiconductor production.
Semiconductor manufacturing requires precise and uninterrupted operations in controlled environments. Even small issues or interruptions can cause major losses, such as discarding entire silicon wafers. However, TSMC’s readiness for earthquakes, and protective measures, helped in safeguarding its production line.
The last notable disruption experienced by TSMC was in 2016 when manufacturing facilities in Tainan suffered damage, resulting in the loss of wafers. Since then, TSMC has continually refined its strategies to ensure minimal disruptions during natural disasters.
NVIDIAcannot survivewithout TSMC’s ChipSupply
TSMC is NVIDIA’s primary chip manufacturer and supplier of the latest semiconductor technology. NVIDIA relies on TSMC’s cutting-edge manufacturing processes to produce high-performance GPUs such as the latest Blackwell architecture models.
The collaboration between NVIDIA and TSMC ensures efficient chip designs and supply. However, TSMC’s contributions span beyond GPUs and include other essential semiconductor technologies for NVIDIA’s products. This partnership guarantees a reliable chip supply, crucial for meeting market demands and maintaining NVIDIA’s competitive advantage.
TSMC is the biggest chip maker globally, with more than half of the global market share. If anything happens to TSMC, it would not only affect NVIDIA but also other leading AI and technology firms as it would affect their chip production and potentially disrupt their supply chains. Any risk to TSMC is concerning for NVIDIA and the global tech sector, as it could significantly affect technological progress worldwide.

We have tested the software by deleting some files on the MacBook, and then recovering them using the Stellar Data Recovery Software. It can be used on different SSDs, HDDs, and flash drives formatted with APFS/HFS+/NTFS/ExFAT.

For a while, Google has been experimenting with new AI search features for its Google Search. One thing to note here, is some of the features like the Search Generative Experience don’t really go well with the concept of an ad-supported web.
Aside from content creators, Google also gets a significant proportion of its revenue from ads. Additionally, there remains the investment behind the development of AI models which end consumers are benefiting from. While Google intended to (and is successful) make the search experience better, it also brings questions about the sustainability of the system. Notably, the traditional ad-supported Google Search will remain accessible for free.
Google Search without its new AI features will remain available for free
The Financial Times reports (paywalled) that Google could offer AI-powered search features with a price tag in the near future. Sources familiar with Google’s plans suggest that the AI-powered features could become a part of Google’s existing subscription services such as Google One.
Interestingly, the report claims that even the paid experience won’t exclude ads. It indicates the importance of ads in Google’s business model still to date. So why is Google striving to build and implement such features that interfere with its business model in the first place?
Well, these seem to be intended to remain the go-to choice for every individual. While some will be willing to pay for an AI-enriched helpful search experience, most won’t probably want to pay for what they have used for free so far. A survey shows that more than 70% of people are willing to stay with the free plan.
Speaking of Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE) it’s currently in an experimental phase and as Google notes, it’s not ready for production-grade services yet.
