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...

Philippines also has marine helicopter requirements. Dhruv is competing in the tender I guess.

It's 1.3B people. Do someone expect all people to be "nationalistic"? Bangladeshis quit Pakistan irrespective of being "Muslims". Does that make them traitors? Traitors will be in all form and shape in all religion.

The new gen is even more brainwashed with social media and stuff. Friends I have studied with, has started openly blaming Brahmins in WhatsApp groups not even withstanding Brahmins are there in school groups, and he is used to be best friends with a few of them. The irony is, this generation...

And that is my fear. I do not want any social issues in my state. The so called secularism parties (no party is secular in my opinion), who represent secular hindus are silent about this. Not even one condemnation. Kerala Communists would condemn communal statements coming from the church, but...

The person I quoted said the corvette coming might be a rumour while.anti ship.was confirmed. So I was wondering how BD was receiving the missile without the corvette.

This is resulting in reverse polarisation. God forbid, if there will be religious social unrests in TN, it will be Christians and not with Muslims. Hundreds of reports are already there of Christians singing in front of ancient Hindu temples, cleansing it of demon, giving sermons to Hindus in...
