Firefly imagery can therefore support the detection of crop stress, nutrient deficiencies, irrigation problems and disease risk. Repeated observations allow agricultural agencies, insurers and farm-management companies to compare crop development across fields and identify areas requiring attention.
Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth highlighted the contribution of MSMEs, start-ups and private companies in developing indigenous defence equipment, components and technologies. These enterprises increasingly support major defence manufacturers and public-sector undertakings by supplying precision components, electronics, materials, software, subsystems and maintenance services.
Indian manufacturers are now exporting toys to markets including the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Germany. The sector’s expansion reflects a combination of mandatory safety standards, higher import duties, cluster development, startup participation, export incentives and initiatives encouraging toys rooted in Indian culture and learning traditions.
Agnikul uses metal additive manufacturing to consolidate the principal combustion hardware into a single Inconel structure. Its Agnilet and Agnite semi-cryogenic engines integrate the injector, combustion chamber and regenerative cooling channels within the printed assembly. After printing, the hardware undergoes computed-tomography inspection, heat treatment, grinding and cleaning before testing or flight integration.
The company’s Vikram launchers are named after Dr Vikram Sarabhai, the architect of India’s space programme. Their primary market consists of small satellites used for Earth observation, communications, navigation, scientific research and technology demonstration. Dedicated launches allow a customer to select mission parameters more precisely, while rideshare services distribute launch capacity and cost among several payload operators.
An unmanned surface vehicle travels on the surface of the water without an onboard crew. It may be controlled remotely, follow a predetermined route or perform parts of a mission autonomously using navigation software and onboard sensors.
EyeROV operates through IROV Technologies Private Limited from the Kerala Technology Innovation Zone at Kalamassery in Kochi. Founded by Johns T. Mathai and Kannappa Palaniappan, the company has developed a full-stack marine robotics platform combining underwater vehicles, surface craft, sensors, navigation systems, inspection software and data analytics.
In April 2026, Ati Motors formally changed its name to Ati Robotics. The rebranding reflected its evolution from a manufacturer of autonomous vehicles into a broader industrial-automation company combining robots, fleet-management software, factory data and artificial-intelligence systems. Existing Sherpa product names, customer contracts and deployments continued under the new identity.
CynLr is attempting to solve one of robotics’ most persistent problems: enabling machines to act effectively when the physical world fails to match a predefined programme.
The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre is currently developing three reactor designs: the 220-MWe Bharat Small Modular Reactor, the 55-MWe Small Modular Reactor and a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor with a capacity of up to 5 MWth.
