Not sure if this is accurate as LRDE is the developer. Does this.mean Astra has won the contract to manufacture radars?

Probably India's longer third SSBN S4 getting ready for Sea Trials.

I will still hold my horses. MoU is nothing new for India. Same Karnataka govt had signed an MoU back in 2017 for an Silicon plant. The problem is this plant is a partnership of 4-5 companies. So I would.wait for more information. The news is this consortium is still discussing deals with other...

India is spending close to 2.5B for SL.to help it tide it's.crises. China has agreed to debt rollover of 4,B actually. BD has given 500m. India should extract guarantee that 18th amendment as promised to India is implemented and fishing rights around Katchateevu even if the island couldn't be...

After seeing the comments on PDF, I am actually very convinced, India, her democracy and people are far far ahead in terms of political maturity and far sightedness. With respect of @Joe Shearer comments on "WhatsApp" wingers, even they are far far better compared to the supporters of PTI...

There is a proverb in Tamil. A person is having butter in one hand, while searching for ghee. That aptly reflects Indian situation. There are two ways to go about it. The answer to tanks aren't necessarily tanks. One way is equip ALH Rudra with anti tank missiles. They are attack choppers...

The challenge is to sustain this competition when PLI winds up. Hope we build the infra for components in the meantime. Our value addition back 4 years was like 10%. Limited to making outer shells, chargers, PCB "assembly". Need to have LED screen, speakers and camera produced in house. If...

Yea I read this article. It was kinda no surprise. Cholas had lots of strong relationship with the Chinese. Infact I read another article, that the Chinese helped with their designs for cholas naval ships. And Vishnu and Shiva temples have been unearthed or converted to local uses in coastal...

FTA is fine, but what is BD willing to give in return? BD will mostly demand duty free access for textiles. The other countries will demand the same ranging from Automobiles, pharma, IT, dairy, agriculture, electronics etc. If BD do not diversify, it will end up becoming an importer of all...

Indian OPVs would be much cheaper. OPVs do not carry missiles or weapons, so there would be no integration issues. BD could explore something with Indian shipyards.

Actually shared this news on the other Indian forum. It's actually great news. More details would emerge if and when we sign the agreement. I really hope it's in the next 2 months. Definitely going to take up to 3-5B for Indian side.

I don't know if such under the accounts deal could.be done with US which has pretty good oversight on over the deal commercial deals.

Good decision. If this amount of money 3B had been poured in our indigenous programmes we could have a better system by now. The thing is we make.the decision only when pushed into.the corner.

I think IAF pilots are starting to love it. And it also means IAF have framed war strategy using the birds and want to try it out in exercises.

We can do all simulation we want. Nothing is greater than actual testing. P5 had decades of multiple nuclear testing to formalize their technology. They have conducted open, air and sea nuclesr testing. But it would be a bad time to do the testing this decade as our economy is just on it's...

Intel was very close to establishing a plant near Chennai or Goa back in 2005 I think when Maran was Telecommunication minister. That Jaya thwarted it is another matter altogether. But I heard they were perplexed by lack of clear policy cos semiconductor industry cannot operate in a vacuum and...

PFBR is not operational yet. Being the first.of it's class, obviously it's actually already delayed by 7 years and definitely it's not lack of plutonium. We don't have MIRV missiles yet to account for it yet as we don't have an active known MIRV system. I quite honestly think India is due...

Going to give my oft repeated response. "Will believe it when I see it. " :D

This needs a new thread for some days. It's highly imported especially with regards to our labour intensive manufacturing sector. Tariff is going down to 5% for some and zero for some. Also covers electronics, apparel (some positive news for apparel after years), steel etc. Services are set to...

Better to develop it near Bangalore or Hyderabad. With aerospace already developed to an extent in that region, it makes easy for talents to switch companies and for Tata to get the best talents themselves. Especially when Indian industry with regards to bigger aircraft manufacturing is nascent...
