Indian Development News 🇮🇳

Agratas formalised a 7-year battery supply deal with JLR. The ~$530M contract will initially cover NMC cells (LFP later). Sanand could lead early supply, or at least until the Somerset facility comes online, which may overlap. #Batteries #MakeInIndia

Tata Group’s battery company Agratas has developed its own LFP battery technology in-house.

LFP batteries are cheaper, safer, and don’t need cobalt or nickel, making them ideal for mass-market EVs.

This move comes after China imposed export restrictions on battery materials and technology.

With this, Tata aims to reduce dependence on China and support its EV and energy storage plans in India. #Tech #Batteries #MakeinIndia

ISRO successfully conducted a ground static test of the improved SS1 solid booster for SSLV on Aug 11, 2026 at Sriharikota.

The upgrades include faster propellant burn rate, better thermal protection, a lighter nozzle, and production-friendly design changes.
Over 600 parameters were monitored, and performance matched predictions.

With this improved SS1, SSLV’s payload capacity to Low Earth Orbit increases by about 100kg.

SSLV was built for quick, on-demand small satellite launches, and tech transfer to Indian industry is underway for mass production. #ISRO

Counting down to August 15th! We’ll be sharing a special tribute every day as we celebrate India’s 80th 🇮🇳 Independence Day.

Day 5: Honoring India’s Paramilitary & Central Armed Police Forces - the Unyielding Shields of the Nation. 🛡️

From the icy Himalayan passes with the ITBP to the scorching Thar desert with the BSF, from the rugged northeastern frontiers with the Assam Rifles and SSB to the frontlines of internal security with the CRPF—our forces form an indestructible wall of defense. Guarding critical national assets (CISF), executing high-precision counter-terror operations (NSG), and ensuring elite protection (SPG), these brave sentinels stand watch so a billion-plus citizens can sleep in peace.

Today, as the Tricolour flutters high, honor the supreme sacrifice, relentless vigil, and selfless service of the men and women who protect our borders, maintain internal harmony, and defend our sovereignty every single second. Jai Hind 🇮🇳

🇮🇳🤝🇷🇺 India has shown interest in cooperation on North Sea Route, says Russian President Putin

Although Russia has consistently voiced, and continues to reaffirm, its readiness to cooperate and leverage the advantages of the Northern Sea Route, strictly within the bounds of existing international maritime law, we see growing interest from countries wishing to engage with us on this front. These partners include, above all, our friends – China, India, and other nations who are actively discussing these matters with us."

India seeks 60 new transport aircraft for IAF, invites bids for a $10 billion deal

It is reliably learnt that Airbus, which had initially offered its A400M, is likely to sit it out since its aircraft outweighs requirements with payload capacity of 37 tonnes.

Opposition keeps howling, creating ruckus even after UHM Amit Shah is ready to debate on Neet Paper Leak Issue & Students Protests in the House. Opposition refuses a debate Lok Sabha Adjourned till 11 AM Tomorrow #Parliament

Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha turned down the proposal and asserted that the youth of the country want to know who ordered that "protesting students be shot" at with pellet guns.

He said the opposition was not interested in listening to Amit Shah's "imagination and lecture" in Parliament. If Amit Shah ordered that students be shot at, he is culpable, and if he did not, he is incompetent,

"In both cases he should resign" #Parliament
