The investment gathering is being convened by the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute (SWFI) at The Oberoi in New Delhi. SWFI describes iBRICS as a private, invitation-only investment forum timed to coincide with the BRICS Leaders’ Summit, rather than an official event organised by the Government of India or the BRICS Chairship. The main BRICS Leaders’ Summit will take place separately at Bharat Mandapam.
Rather than treating these markets as simple extensions of its existing consumer-electronics operations, the company is developing a broader capability roadmap covering capital allocation, specialised talent and strategic partnerships. The objective is to move further into technologically demanding products while building what Dixon describes as a globally competitive manufacturing platform.
BAM-H24 is rich in boron, hydrogen and nitrogen, elements of considerable interest in high-energy propulsion chemistry. According to the University of Hyderabad, the compound combines strong chemical and thermal stability with relatively low sensitivity to impact and friction. It is also non-hygroscopic, helping it resist moisture absorption during storage and handling.
Conventional extended-range ammunition gives ATAGS a considerably shorter reach, meaning the ramjet round could provide Indian artillery with a much deeper engagement envelope without requiring an entirely new gun platform.
At the centre of the architecture is SkyOS, Indrajaal’s AI-driven autonomy and air-command platform. SkyOS combines information from acoustic sensors, radio-frequency systems, electro-optical cameras and thermal sensors to create a common picture of low-altitude airspace. The platform can classify an incoming drone, predict its trajectory and select an appropriate response within seconds.
Speaking in Indore on September 5 after the expansion of the city’s metro service, the minister said India’s operational metro network has now reached around 1,170 km across 26 cities. He placed the corresponding network in the United States at around 1,386 km, leaving India roughly 216 km behind.
Mumbai-based TriNano Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is attempting to solve this problem at the surface of the solar module itself. The SINE IIT Bombay-incubated deep-tech company has developed an indigenous solid-state nano-coating designed to combine self-cleaning, anti-reflection and light-trapping properties in a layer only a fraction of the thickness of a human hair.
Under the Tembo-New Lachaussée project, the Belgian company will provide a complete ammunition production line for two calibres, while also supplying tooling that will allow production of two additional calibres. The project is valued at approximately €50 million, with equipment deliveries and installation planned across 2028 and 2029.
The brokerage estimates that CNG, hybrids and electric vehicles together accounted for 42% of passenger vehicle retail sales during the month, while the share of petrol vehicles fell to a record low of 41%. A year earlier, petrol had accounted for about 46% of the market.
The disclosure is important because it points to cooperation considerably broader than the manufacture of isolated components. BDL is India’s principal production agency for numerous guided missile and allied weapon programmes and has been progressively transforming itself from a missile manufacturer into a complete weapon-system integrator.
