SC stays Delhi HC ruling on benefits for foreign investors with TRCs

This Supreme Court’s decision on Friday was in response to a petition by tax authorities challenging the Delhi High Court’s decision in a case involving Blackstone Capital Partners, a Singapore-based company facing a tax notice of about ₹108 crore.

Inside Amazon’s effort to challenge Elon Musk’s Starlink internet business
Amazon antenna on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius made contact with both, but during a subsequent handoff to another station, only one vehicle checked in. Amazon scanned the sky behind the first satellite for a signal from the second one but heard silence. The incident threatened to kill the mood for employees who’d gathered to celebrate the launch at Postdoc Brewing, not far from Amazon’s Seattle-area space operation. The team had spent years building satellites from scratch and endured months of delays launching them. Now that they were aloft, Amazon needed to make contact to ensure their solar panels had deployed. If not, the batteries would run out and the satellites would fail, a major setback for the retail and cloud-computing giant, already a late entrant in the race to build a profitable business selling internet access from low-Earth orbit.
