YEIDA CEO Arun Vir Singh told IANS that these companies have already deposited 10 per cent of the proposed allocation for land in Sector 29 under the <keyword id="766731" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="yamuna-authority" source="Orion">Yamuna Authority</keyword> near the upcoming Jewar airport in Greater Noida. "Seiko Advance Limited, an ink manufacturing company, expressed its desire to make its product on 5 acres of land in Sector 29 of YEIDA," Singh informed. Seiko Advance Limited alone will invest Rs 850 crore and provide employment to thousands of people, he added. Sector 29 is well-developed with several available facilities for companies. The Apple suppliers, along with a known camera parts maker, proposed to set up a unit on about 23 acres of land with a proposed investment of Rs 2,800 crore. Singh told IANS that Apple suppliers proposed the investment at a recently-held meeting in South Korea. Seiko Advance creates ink for devices like the iPhones. Apple CEO Tim Cook had visited the company in 2019, when he had said that the 'Midnight Green' colour dye was "only made by high-quality control and craftsmanship" at its plant. Meanwhile, Apple is fast forwarding its manufacturing plans in India and Vietnam in the wake of unrest in China over zero-Covid policy which has severely disrupted its supply chain, leading to an acute shortage of new iPhone 14 Pro models. The Wall Street Journal had earlier reported that the company is "telling its suppliers to plan more actively for assembling Apple products elsewhere in Asia, particularly in India and Vietnam" in order to "reduce dependence on Taiwanese assemblers led by Foxconn". The China upheaval, which hit its key supplier Foxconn's Zhengzhou factory last month, resulting in violent protests, means "Apple no longer feels comfortable having so much of its business tied up in one place", the report said, citing analysts and people in the Apple supply chain. Apple aims to ship 40-45 per cent of iPhones from India compared to a single-digit percentage currently, according to analyst Ming-chi Kuo. Every fourth iPhone will be made in India by 2025, according to J.P. Morgan. In a fillip to India's thrust on local manufacturing, Apple had earlier this year kicked off production of new iPhone 14 in India, a first for the tech giant as it narrows down the manufacturing period of new iPhones in the country to cut dependence on China. Buoyed by the ease-of-doing business and friendly local manufacturing policies, Apple's 'Make in India' iPhones will potentially account for close to 85 per cent of its total iPhone production for the country this year, according to industry experts. Apple first started manufacturing iPhones in India in 2017, with iPhone SE. The tech giant manufactures some of its most advanced iPhones in the country, including iPhone 11, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 at the Foxconn facility, while iPhone SE and iPhone 12 are being assembled at the Wistron factory in the country.

He demanded that the traffic movement should be prohibited on the expressways connecting Agra from 8 p.m to 8 a.m. "With the temperature dropping and visibility decreasing on the roads because of fog, there have been many road accidents, especially on the expressways, including the 165- kilometre <keyword id="6354936" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Yamuna">Yamuna</keyword> Expressway connecting Agra with Noida, and the 302-kilometre <keyword id="1058381" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Agra-Lucknow-expressway">Agra-Lucknow Expressway</keyword>," Jain said. "Traffic should be prohibited on both the expressways from 8 p.m to 8 a.m so that accidents and loss of life at night, including those because of fog, could be controlled. Dense fog is leading to a pile-up of vehicles. Relief work, too, takes much time during fog. Because of the foggy weather, traffic should not be allowed on the expressways at night," he said. Dense fog on Sunday morning had claimed the life of a driver of a bus which rammed into a stationary truck on the Agra-Lucknow Expressway. Three passengers were injured in the accident. On January 14, a bus passenger was killed after dense fog led to a pile-up of vehicles on the Yamuna Expressway. Earlier, on January 3, two people, including a driver, were killed in a road accident on the Agra-Lucknow Expressway. It was feared that the bus driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel as the sleeper bus rammed into a truck around 1 a.m. On January 1, a bride was charred to death in an accident while she was returning in a vehicle with her husband after offering prayers in Mathura. On December 22, five people died after their car collided with a truck near a toll plaza on the Yamuna Expressway.

The blockade started at 8 am and would last 24 hours. The Samyukta Kisan Morcha, an umbrella body of protesting farmer unions spearheading the agitation against the agriculture-related legislations, on Friday gave a call for a 24-hour blockade of the <keyword id="6367712" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="kmp-expressway">KMP expressway</keyword>. The 136-km-long expressway is also known as the Western Peripheral Expressway. Protesting farmers, however, said emergency vehicles will be allowed to ply. Bhartiya Kisan Union (Lakhowal) general secretary Harinder Singh Lakhowal said the blockade would be for 24 hours. Haryana Police in the meanwhile issued a traffic advisory, asking travellers to avoid the KMP expressway. Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Navdeep Singh Virk on Friday said elaborate arrangements were in place to maintain peace and order, prevent any kind of violence and facilitate traffic movement and public transport on the expressway. Traffic diversions have been planned by affected districts especially Sonipat, Jhajjar, Panipat, Rohtak, Palwal, Faridabad, Gurgaon and Nuh, Virk said. Passengers coming from Ambala/Chandigarh side on National Highway-44 may go towards UP's Ghaziabad and Noida via Karnal to <keyword id="6360543" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="shamli">Shamli</keyword> and from Panipat to Sanauli.
