The partnership aims to combine Naval Group’s decades of expertise in naval defence systems with Nibe’s industrial capabilities to support the development of advanced maritime technologies in India.
The newly appointed candidates will join key institutions including the Income Tax Department, Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), Airports Authority of India, Ministry of Defence, Department of Posts, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), and Southern Railway.
The event recorded 51,656 registrations and around 40,000 cumulative footfall, with participation from more than 600 exhibitors, including nearly 300 international companies. Representatives from 52 countries, six country pavilions and twelve state pavilions participated in the conference, highlighting the growing global interest in India’s semiconductor ambitions.
The Mahabharata preserves Odra primarily as the name of a recognised people, the Odras or Audras, rather than giving us a long description of a clearly bounded kingdom. One of the most revealing references appears in connection with Yudhishthira’s Rajasuya sacrifice at Indraprastha. When the splendour of that imperial gathering is remembered, rulers and peoples from across Bharata are described as having assembled there, including the Vangas, Angas, Paundras and Odras.
The ripe Malihabadi Dusseheri is not known for spectacular size. Instead, its reputation rests on soft, sweet and almost fibreless flesh, abundant juice, a distinctive fragrance and an elongated shape that has become familiar across northern India. These characteristics, combined with the centuries-old orchard tradition of Malihabad, eventually earned the mango formal geographical recognition when Mango Malihabadi Dusseheri received Geographical Indication registration on 4 September 2009.
After completion of the refurbishment activities, Kaiga Unit-1 entered the restart preparation phase with the loading of the first new fuel bundles into the newly installed channels on 13 September 2026.
Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw outlined the proposal during SEMICON India 2026, saying that the institute would be built around a five-level skilling model. The government wants the training framework to extend beyond conventional chip design and include systems engineering, precision manufacturing, semiconductor production and equipment-related skills.
The significance of the current expansion lies in the growing range of semiconductor activities being established within India. Earlier electronics manufacturing growth was concentrated largely around final-product assembly, while semiconductor activity itself was dominated by engineering and design services.
The first phase of India’s semiconductor programme concentrated heavily on establishing basic manufacturing capacity through fabs and semiconductor assembly, testing, marking and packaging projects. Semicon 2.0 expands this framework by giving greater policy attention to the supporting industries that a sustainable semiconductor manufacturing base requires.
LightSpeed Photonics has said that the initial facility will support its own research and development requirements before potentially expanding towards commercial-scale production.
