Inbound Aerospace is a Chennai-based company incubated at the IIT Madras Incubation Cell. IIT Madras Research Park describes the company as developing an autonomous reusable re-entry spacecraft and spaceplane platform for repeatable microgravity and orbital payload-return missions.
The technology has reached Technology Readiness Level 3, meaning the underlying concept has been demonstrated experimentally but remains well short of a production-ready aircraft system. IIT Madras has nevertheless moved the invention into its technology-transfer portfolio and is offering it for licensing, indicating that the research is now being positioned for possible industrial development.
Ayurveda does not traditionally define health through numerical blood-pressure measurements. Its physiological framework is built around concepts such as Dosha, Dhatu, Agni, Srotas and the functional relationships between organs and tissues.
The two SWiFT-K prototypes have reportedly completed High-Speed Taxi Trials at the Aeronautical Test Range at Challakere. These trials are an important step before flight testing because they allow engineers to examine acceleration, braking, steering, ground stability, structural behaviour and flight-control responses as the aircraft approaches take-off speed.
The significance of the programme lies not simply in producing another artillery system. A mature electromagnetic gun could eventually occupy the space between conventional long-range artillery and expensive guided missiles, delivering high-velocity kinetic projectiles over considerable distances without depending upon the large chemical propellant charges required by traditional guns.
Modern communications can appear almost entirely wireless to an ordinary user. Smartphones connect through mobile towers, laptops through Wi-Fi and satellites increasingly provide communications to remote locations. Yet once data begins travelling between continents, most of it does not travel through space.
TiHAN and the Andhra Pradesh Drones Corporation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding under which the IIT Hyderabad hub will serve as a technical and knowledge partner for the Drone City and the wider drone ecosystem being developed in the state.
Addressing the BRICS Business Forum in New Delhi, Modi also proposed two additional measurable goals for the grouping’s business community: identifying and addressing the ten biggest barriers to intra-BRICS trade and creating 1,000 new partnerships between businesses across BRICS countries every year. He suggested that progress against all three benchmarks should be reviewed annually.
The logistics network forms part of the broader Quad Partnership on Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief. The partnership was announced at the Quad Leaders’ Meeting in 2022, with guidelines subsequently established to improve coordination among the four countries during regional disasters.
The 125-km Rishikesh–Karnaprayag railway is being developed by RVNL, a public sector undertaking under the Ministry of Railways, at an estimated cost of around ₹37,000 crore. The project is targeted for completion by December 2029.
