Salaries to go up 10.7 per cent, star performers to gain handsomely: Study

NEW DELHI: Salaries are likely to jump by an average 10.7 per cent in July-December, with e-commerce and life science sectors expected to hand out bigger pay packets, says a study.

The projected salary hike for 2016 is nearly the same as last year's though the hiring figure so far this year has dipped in comparison with 2015.

"In the second half of the year, companies are expected to sharply differentiate among high, average and low performers and implement variable pay ..


Top performers stand to gain handsomely as they are expected to receive much more across sectors.


"With an increasing number of companies moving away from bell-curve appraisals, the onus will be on individual performance rather than the group's median performance," Kolla said.

Despite the recent slowdown, e-commerce tops the projected average salary hike list, with 15.6 per cent. Life sciences is ranked second at 11.8 per cent, followed by media and entertainment (11.3 per cent), technology (10.9 per cent) and consumer products (10.5 per cent).

Industries that could see minimum pay hikes are cement (9.5 per cent), transportation and logistics (9.2 per cent), telecom (9 per cent), metals and gems (8.8 per cent) and BFSI (8.5 per cent).

The study by Wisdomjobs.com covered various industries across Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata.

Where Is the source that this is the most advanced communication satellite in Asia and what criteria is used to make that claim?

I guess they don't know much about Chinese satellites. Only now they are testing 'indigenous' lithium batteries, means all along they imported their batteries. LOL. With a weight of only 3.2 tonnes, I doubt your payload capacity nor power output is better than current 5-6 tonners. Ever wonder why you could only keep the weight at 3 tonnes? Coz your NEW LV sucks, you can't go more than 4 tonnes.

China had an ion propulsion satellite tested even before your GSAT is up and see link below to know what is coming up in China.

Sort the link below by countries, India tried launching an ion propulsion satellite made with Russian 'help' but the GSLV mission blew up. We had a ion propulsion test back in the 80s.

Some of the most advance ion thrusters are made in China.

I don't think, it's punctual.

I don't think, it's punbl.

Haven't travelled personally much , last trip was last September from Ranchi to Bokaro on Intercity and there was no delay , in fact I was stepping out of BKSC 2 minutes earlier than scheduled. That experience was good , however having travelled this route quite often , the delay has never been more than 20 minutes untill something drastic happens ... improvement is surely there.


And surely this region performs much better than its counterparts in Hajipur, NR and WCR.... have been using Garib Rath for travelling to Delhi , even it gets delayed , though apart from Rajdhanis, Durontos, Shatbdis, I think Ranchi Delhi Garib Rath is the most punctual train in the NDLS>CNB>MGS stretch.

Rail Radio Service to be launched on 1000 trains
http://economictimes.indiatimes.com...nched-on-1000-trains/articleshow/53362288.cms

NEW DELHI: Passengers can soon tune in to popular FM radio stations while travelling on trains, with the Indian Railway firming up plans to roll out a Rail Radio service for 'onboard infotainment' which would also come in handy in emergency situations and disasters.

The state-run public transporter plans to introduce the facility on about 1000 Mail and Express trains, including premier services.

Passengers will not only be treated to popular songs and music over the public adress (PA) system in coaches, but also be updated on train-related information on hourly basis. The system will be used to issue alerts in case of an emergency, according to the plan.

Besides jokes, astrology and other trivia, the history of Indian Railway and its major activities will also be part of the Rail Radio service.

We are in the process of finalising arrangements with a few leading FM radio stations to provide entertainment as well as information to passengers onboard about 1000 Mail and Express trains including Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto, said a senior Railway Ministry official.

Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu had in his 2016-17 budget speech proposed to invite FM radio stations for providing train-borne entertainment through public address systems on trains. Currently only Rajdhani, Duronto and Shatabdi trains are equipped with PA system.

"Once Rail Radio service is operationalised, all these premier trains will be linked with the system," he said.

As per the plan, studios will be set up at Railway Board and all zonal headquarters to operationalise Rail Radio service.

Rail Radio service will be helpful during emergency situations like accidents or a natural calamity, the official said.

"It will be easier to reach out to passengers during emergency through PA system from the headquarters," said the official, adding "there will be a slot for educating and creating awareness among passengers on disaster management."

With a view to enhancing passenger comfort, a move has been initiated by the Railways to introduce new amenities including ergonomic seating, improved asthetics, water level indicators and easily accessible dustbins in coaches.

The public sector giant also plans to make available the bilingual onboard magazine Rail Bandhu in all Mail and Express trains. Currently the magazine is available only in Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto trains. There is also a plan to publish Rail Bandhu in regional languages, the official said.

4. WDG5, 5500HP locomotive designed and built in India based upon EMD series. Built by DLW they are the most powerful 2 stroke 16 cylinder diesel engine in the world.

5. Improved EMDs , 4,500HP High Power Goods and Passenger Locomotives are under construction by DLW , they feature many improvements over the original EMD design , they will replace a majority of Alcos.

6. WAP5 / WAP7 / WAG 9

All the three are cousins , improved upon consistently for the subcontinent. They have a daunting task to replace the older electric locomotives of IR , and rapid electrification means more and more are required.

Note :- EMUs/MEMU/DEMU and Train Sets not included.
