Indian Infrastructures and Capabilities
Under the programme, JK Maini Global Aerospace will undertake the assembly of wing structures and centre-fuselage structures for a major indigenous fighter aircraft programme. The tender was floated by what Raymond describes as a leading Indian aerospace and defence original equipment manufacturer.
According to the Civil Aviation Ministry, the modified programme rests on four principal areas: maintaining affordable air travel, improving the sustainability of regional operations, introducing a transparent Challenge Mode framework for infrastructure projects and supporting indigenous aviation manufacturing.
The immediate programme centres on the B28, India’s first indigenous high-speed train platform. Its name reflects its 280 kmph design-speed category. The train is being developed through the Integral Coach Factory and BEML, with manufacturing taking place at BEML’s Bengaluru facility.
India exported approximately $1.9 billion worth of PCBAs in FY2025-26, more than twenty times the level recorded a year earlier. Of this, around $1.5 billion went to China, compared with only approximately $36 million in FY2024-25.
The Press Information Bureau highlighted Netrasemi on 22 September 2026 among the Indian semiconductor technologies showcased at SEMICON India, placing the Kerala-founded company within the growing group of domestic startups attempting to move from semiconductor design services towards proprietary Indian chip products.
Speaking during SEMICON India 2026, Addverb co-founder and Chief Business Officer Bir Singh identified semiconductor manufacturing as an emerging market for the company. Addverb is developing automation systems for semiconductor facilities while expanding into solar manufacturing, batteries, electric vehicles and other advanced-manufacturing industries.
According to Integra Robotics, the system can track movements involving the operator’s hands, arms, head, neck and spine. Its Bio-Inverse Kinematics architecture then translates these movements into corresponding commands for the robotic platform, allowing robotic manipulators to reproduce the operator’s intended actions at a remote location.
Hylenr has been developing compact energy systems based on hydrogen-loaded metallic materials and lattice confinement. Rather than restricting evaluation to its own laboratories, the company has moved the BRT-NiUCS-2 into a structured external research programme involving the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Texas A&M University.
The capacity has been added through NTPC Renewable Energy Limited, a subsidiary of NTPC Green Energy Limited. The latest commissioning covers 6.3 MW from the Vanki Wind Energy Project in Kutch and the first 50.4 MW portion of the Jamnagar Wind Energy Project at Jamjodhpur.
The cooperation is broader than conventional new-vessel construction. The two companies intend to jointly explore opportunities in new shipbuilding, ship repair, vessel conversion, module fabrication and projects associated with the oil and gas sector.
