Rail Coach Factory Kapurthala is a production unit of Indian Railways with extensive experience manufacturing passenger coaches and self-propelled railway vehicles. The facility has contributed to India’s railway modernisation through the production of conventional coaches, Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches and specialised passenger rolling stock.
The proposal reflects India’s increasing focus on indigenous autonomous systems capable of operating in electronically contested environments. However, Svaayatt’s nine-drone swarm remains a proposed system, with no publicly confirmed Indian Armed Forces procurement contract, completed military acceptance trial or operational induction.
Announced on October 5, 2026, the collaboration combines EndureAir’s expertise in unmanned aerial systems, autonomous flight and aerospace engineering with Maraal Aerospace’s work in solar-powered, long-endurance aircraft. Both companies are based in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, and are developing technologies intended to strengthen India’s domestic unmanned aviation capabilities.
The Pune-based Serum Institute has manufactured and stockpiled approximately 620,000 doses of the ChAdOx1 BDBV vaccine candidate within two weeks, demonstrating its ability to rapidly scale production during an infectious disease emergency. The company also supplied around 3,000 investigational doses for the Ugandan clinical trial.
Orbital Corporation announced the order on October 5, 2026, through a regulatory disclosure to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Each propulsion system will incorporate the company’s second-generation Power Management System (Gen II PMS), marking the first external customer adoption of the technology.
According to EyeROV, TROUT is India’s first indigenously designed, developed, manufactured and military-qualified underwater ROV intended for naval operations.

A Colombian delegation visited BEL’s Ghaziabad Unit and Central Research Laboratory in March 2026 to examine the company’s technological capabilities. The visit formed part of Colombia’s efforts to identify suitable technologies for detecting and countering unmanned aerial threats.
Tecnod8.AI is developing what it describes as an agentic AI brain for industrial and automation engineering. The technology is intended to help engineers understand complex machines, identify potential equipment problems and access specialised technical information through a conversational interface.
The collaboration will focus on examining how technologies developed by the two companies can be combined into a commercially viable launch system. Engineering considerations will include vehicle architecture, technical compatibility, development requirements and potential market applications.
The project includes Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems, Internet Protocol (IP)-based CCTV cameras, body-worn cameras and night-vision binoculars. These technologies will support police surveillance, vehicle identification, field documentation and observation during low-light conditions.
