business jets that also have the extravagance of superyachts. Famous names in this business — such as Gulfstream, Dassault and Bombardier — are engaged in a fierce battle to outdo each other, with more technology and luxury being crammed into their latest creations. The newer range of business jets are even more lavish, yet designed keeping sustainability in the mind. That’s because the owners of such aeroplanes are no longer focussed on just, say, gold fixtures or loud colours: “responsible luxury” has become the new buzzword for them. Gulfstream has been successful with the 650ER, but its new G700 is a significant step up as it comes with a set of new engines and an overhauled cabin design. The G700 is crucial for the planemaker because the demand for long-haul private jets has increased, in most part due to billionaires such as Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk owning this jet. After launching the 650 ER, Gulfstream returned to the drawing board to improve speed, range and roominess, and came up with the G700. The exterior design of the latest model remains elegant and restrained. But the interiors have seen a radical departure from the usual business jets.

Ambuja Cements will be open to exploring further acquisitions on its journey to 140 million tonne of production capacity, even after the Adani-group owned company has made two major buyouts in the last few months. “With a net worth of almost Rs 60,000 crore and being debt-free, we have enough opportunities for expansion, both organic and inorganic,” chief financial officer Vinod Bahety said. “You can understand the strength that the balance sheet has,” he told analysts on a call post the company’s quarterly earnings. The country’s second-largest producer of cement saw its consolidated profit more than halve on year in the September quarter to Rs 473 crore. Revenue from operations rose a little more than 1% to Rs 7,516 crore and were at an all-time high. The growth in revenues, though, was lower than the volume growth during the quarter.

Tatkal tickets on the day before the train's departure from the originating station. The booking window opens at 10 am for AC classes (2A/3A/CC/EC/3E) and 11 am for non-AC coaches (SL/FC/2S). For example, if you want to book a Tatkal ticket for a train departing on November 1, you can book it on October 30 at the specified times. Now imagine you need to book Tatkal train tickets for a family of five. This could cost thousands of rupees. Additionally, if you specify a particular berth, such as a lower berth, and it's not available, your money will be blocked for four to five days before being automatically refunded. The main concern is not the refund itself, but the time it takes to receive it. To save both time and money when booking Tatkal tickets, consider using the autopay option where you can use UPI (OTM)/debit card (OTM)/credit card (OTM) to pay for the tickets using a mandate. These autopay options are available on the IRCTC iPay payment gateway.
