One of the more important industrial signals in the delivery is the improvement in build timelines. Dunagiri is the fifth Project 17A ship delivered to the Navy in the last 16 months, and the programme appears to be gaining construction efficiency as experience accumulates.
Designed by the Indian Navy’s Warship Design Bureau and built by GRSE to Indian Register of Shipping classification rules, Sanshodhak is meant for full-scale coastal and deep-water hydrographic surveys, including surveys of harbour approaches, port channels and navigational routes. Its mission profile also extends beyond navigation support, since the vessel is intended to collect scientific and geophysical data that can be used for both defence and civilian applications.
In his message, Modi said he was “deeply shocked and saddened” by the death of Santokhi, whom he described as a friend. He said Santokhi’s commitment to Suriname and his efforts to deepen bilateral relations were evident in their meetings. Modi also remembered Santokhi’s affection for Indian culture, noting that he had won admiration for taking his oath of office in Sanskrit.
By naming Swayam Raksha Kavach in the 2025 contract, the MoD signalled that the newest Tejas standard is being defined as a more modern indigenous combat-systems stack.
According to the official release, the researchers recovered graphite from spent lithium-ion batteries and chemically exfoliated it to increase its surface area and the number of reactive edge functional groups.
Designed and constructed by GRSE in accordance with the Classification Rules of the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS), the ASW SWC class is intended to strengthen the Navy’s capability to operate in shallow coastal waters against underwater threats. The delivery of Agray adds further momentum to India’s efforts to expand domestically built frontline and support naval platforms under the broader push for defence self-reliance.
They are powered by compact objects such as black holes or neutron stars that pull in matter from a companion star. As this material spirals inward, it forms an accretion disk and releases enormous amounts of energy. What makes ULXs especially intriguing is that they can shine far beyond the so-called Eddington limit, the theoretical brightness cap for a celestial object of a given mass.
The coverage is being tracked through the Jan Dhan Darshak (JDD) App, a Geographic Information System-based platform that allows authorities to monitor banking infrastructure across the country. Based on data uploaded by banks on the application, nearly all villages have now been brought within the targeted service radius. The government also said that 100 per cent of villages in the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli are covered by banking outlets within 5 kilometres.
With 10 highly mechanised opencast mines, NCL has built a strong record of operational consistency and has now maintained its streak of meeting annual coal production targets for a decade. The latest achievement further reinforces the company’s position as one of the most significant contributors to domestic coal output at a time when India continues to rely heavily on thermal power for meeting its electricity demand.
The technology, titled “Bio-Bitumen from Lignocellulosic Biomass – From Farm Residue to Roads,” was showcased at a Technology Transfer Event in New Delhi on March 30, 2026, with the aim of enabling large-scale industry adoption. It was jointly developed by CSIR-Central Road Research Institute (CSIR-CRRI) and CSIR-Indian Institute of Petroleum (CSIR-IIP).
