🔬 Pharma needs to tag biologics vs synthetics

The Centre plans a regulatory update to make pharmaceutical companies clearly label biologics versus synthetic drugs. This change applies to drugs like semaglutide, which can be made chemically or biologically. The government is aiming to fix loopholes where the same molecule got dual licensing under different rules. New mandatory labelling will specify the origin as 'synthetic' or 'r-DNA-origin'. This move aligns India's framework with global standards for better traceability. 🧪

🏏 Percy Fender's 35-min century still reigns supreme

Percy Fender scored the fastest first-class century by time in just 35 minutes on August 26, 1920, for Surrey against Northamptonshire. This record remains unbeaten because modern fast scores were achieved under staged match conditions. Steve O’Shaughnessy matched the time in 1983, but the circumstances were manipulated to force a result. Subsequent faster centuries, like Glen Chapple's in 1993, were also deemed invalid. Therefore, Fender's authentic 1920 performance stands as the benchmark for time-based batting speed. 🏏

✈️ Foreign airlines are taking over India's skies

Foreign airlines carried about 450,000 more passengers out of India in the first half of 2026 compared to the previous year.
