📈 Japanese investment in India is surging, driving a wave of cross-border M&A and VC deals that are keeping top Indian law firms busy.

Driven by supply-chain shifts and a pivot away from China, Japan injected $6.26B in FDI into India in H1 2026. 🇯🇵🇮🇳

Financial giants like MUFG, SMBC, and Mizuho are locking in stakes, while Japanese VCs are shifting focus from Southeast Asia to India’s tech startup ecosystem. This momentum across manufacturing, green tech, and finance has forced law firms to expand their Japan desks to handle the regulatory surge. #Economy

Three state-owned oil companies (IOC, BPCL, HPCL) hit a massive ₹30,106 crore profit in Q2 alone, jumping 68.3% compared to last year thanks to cheap crude oil prices and strong refining margins. Indian Oil (IOC) led the massive rebound by driving 72% of these total earnings, though executives warn that volatile global oil prices and West Asia tensions could trigger tougher times in Q3. #Oil

Rockwell Automation highlights India's key role in advanced manufacturing and AI. Nearly 20% of its global workforce is in India, with over half in core engineering.

CFO Christian Rothe stated India contributes more to Rockwell's global technology than any other region, especially in software. The company is helping Indian MSMEs adopt automation, #AI, and digital workflows to boost efficiency and global supply chain integration, while using token-monitoring to control AI costs. #Jobs

🚀 IISc Bengaluru will set up India's first 2D Innovation Hub and 200-mm (8-inch) R&D Fab under the national MAHA programme —a mega joint initiative by ANRF and MeitY!

🔬 This advanced facility is a massive leap forward for India's semiconductor and quantum technology ecosystems, driving self-reliance from raw materials and PDKs to multi-project wafers (MPW) and commercial technology transfers.

Designed as a powerful collaborative network, it unites 15+ IISc researchers, 18 national SPOKE institutions, and 15+ global tech giants (including ASML, IBM, imec, Synopsys, and Micron) to fast-track industry-ready academic R&D.

Ultimately, this powerhouse hub will fuel deep-tech #startups, empower global researchers, and solidify India's position as a global #semiconductor powerhouse. 🌐

Astrobase Space successfully performs water deluge system test. They're qualifying it ahead of hot-fire tests for EVEREST, India's first privately built 800 kN full-flow staged combustion (FFSC) LOX-methane rocket engine. The system blasts huge volumes of water to absorb heat, dampen shock, and protect the test stand during engine firings.

India flight tests a quasi ballistic missile from a defence facility off the Odisha coast. Developed by DRDO, the missile is capable of carrying multiple types of warheads against various targets at ranges of up to 500 km. The Notam was issued for 595 km. People within 2 km radius of the test range were shifted ahead of the test. Detailed evaluation is underway, sources said.

We developed a sodium-ion battery because India is expected to deploy 3,000 GWh of battery storage but remains dependent on imports. Achieving self-reliance requires domestic cell manufacturing and a secure supply chain. Since materials account for 60% of cell manufacturing costs, we use agricultural waste from farmers to produce hard carbon, which we now export internationally: Yogesh Sharma, Professor, IIT.
