Apple aims to source all US-bound iPhones from India by the end of 2026.As of now, its 55 million units( more than half approximately).

We should target the global production next.
 

Why 5G has failed in India?​





@SportsWarrior - can you let me know, that is has india completely failed at 5g, do you have any other reasons other than shown in the video.


also how can we improve this?
 

Good to see actual execution happening around. An $8b investment for a greenfield steel plan in Andhra. 100,000 jobs and added to that it will have a captive port for exports.


A few projects like these are growth-engines at a state-level. Happy that it came to my native state.
 
Indian Robotics company. It’s a start.

can you prove to me that they built that and not bought in spares/ parts from china


you now as much as me - you lot buy loads of robots from china and claim its yours


can i see proof please, like a regulator document


thank you
 
Around few years back Pakistanis were talking about leading 5G and leaving India behind.


@SportsWarrior this is the 2nd time you've listed fake news, ive caught you 1 page ago showing the same - i even listed you a indian vlogger exposing the fake indian 5g scams - why dont you show me a video which claims the opposite = i wonder why


like always india in ranked no.1 in fake news = yet you keep doing this and posters like @Theanonymousone @Vikram1989 @Champ_Pal @Devadwal @straighttalk @deltexas @uppercut - go cry to the mods and say thats ufair (hes posted a video that i dont like) - yet your always posting fake tweets (not even news) on here and then you mention your neighbour

@moderators - @The Bald Eagle @BouncerGuy @Ball Blazer - can you make sure these cry baby indians stop asking for my articles / videos to be removed - i 99% of time use either indian source or a neutral source for the info i share
 
info not supported by a regulator which is crediable

UK Uni's like warwickshire have AI courses mainly filled up by chinese then indians = however here in the UK just like US have a probem with the indians claiming thr work isnt crediable = been falsified

a bit like paying other people ($50) to do the work for them = happens so often - class then looks like most the indians have left (been kicked out)
 
Indian PM Modi announced yesterday that India’s Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor has achieved criticality. This should prompt serious reflection for us given our ongoing energy challenges and the absence of a clearly defined long-term energy independence strategy.


For those who don't know, a fast breeder reactor is designed not only to generate power but to produce more fissile material than it consumes. Unlike conventional reactors that deplete Uranium, breeder reactors convert fertile material into usable fuel such as plutonium, effectively extending fuel availability and enabling a closed nuclear fuel cycle.

The implications are primarily economic and strategic rather than immediate military. While thorium-based systems are not optimal for weapons, such technology strengthens long-term energy security. An India less dependent on imported fuel is less vulnerable to supply disruptions, sanctions, or chokepoints in times of conflict. Over time, this translates into stronger industrial stability, lower energy costs, and environmental benefits given the low-emission nature of nuclear power.

This comes at a time when global energy systems are under strain. Conflicts and geopolitical tensions continue to disrupt supply chains, and vulnerabilities around critical transit routes have repeatedly exposed energy-importing economies. For Pakistan, this directly impacts inflation, fiscal stability, and growth.

Pakistan’s nuclear program remains a major national achievement, particularly in ensuring strategic balance. However, future resilience will depend increasingly on energy independence. The country has viable pathways including nuclear expansion, solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. The constraint is not resource availability, but the lack of integrated, long-term execution.


In an era where energy security is closely tied to national strength, reducing external dependence is no longer optional. The ability to sustain economic activity through global disruptions will define competitive advantage.


Pakistan has the technical base and experience to evolve its energy strategy. The key question is whether it chooses to move beyond managing constraints toward building long-term independence.
 
Think India will be only the 2nd country to have a commercial FBR, after Russia.

I understand the thinking behind it, considering the abundance of thorium reserves in India and the determination to have energy independence but are these reactors economically viable enough to build at scale is my only question .

India achieved stunning success at the Kalpakkam nuclear plant, which even the US and France failed to. Only Russia has a commercially running Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR). The Kalpakkam FBR will use India's huge reserves of Thorium to power millions of households, and reduce the country's energy imports.



 
We haven't given attention to this incredible success of Indian scientists due to ongoing war but this is major Major job done by our beloved scientist .. Bravo 👏 👏

:kp
 
countries that have tried fast breeder reactors:

- uk (pfr, shut down)
- japan (monju, shut down)
- italy (pec, never completed)
- germany (snr-300, never operated)
- france (phenix and superphenix, shut down)
- usa (ebr-1 and ebr-2, shut down; clinch river, cancelled)
- kazakhstan (bn-350, shut down)
- china (cefr, experimental fast reactor)
- russia (bn-600 and bn-800, running)
- india (pfbr, attained criticality)

this is one of the hardest things in nuclear engineering. india is now the 2nd country after russia to pull this off.

The fully indigenous Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has now attained criticality.

This advanced reactor, which generates more fuel than it consumes, showcases the exceptional depth of India’s scientific expertise and engineering excellence.

It marks a major leap forward in unlocking the country’s vast thorium reserves for the third stage of the nuclear programme.

A moment of immense national pride. Heartiest congratulations to our brilliant scientists and engineers.

• Investment pipeline of $60-70 billion over next 5 years

• Single window clearance, 20 year tax exemption, GST benifits and incentives till 2047.

• Construction cost is significantly lower in India compared to mature APAC markets.

South Korea’s President Lee Jae-myung to visit India next week as talks focus on shipbuilding, trade, semiconductors, AI and supply chains amid growing economic ties


The cornerstone of the initiative is the Maritime Development Fund (MDF), planned with a corpus of Rs 25,000 crore (about $3 billion). The government will contribute 49 percent, with the remainder expected from ports and private investor


I hope we can get good deals in semi conductors and ship buildings.


 
Indian Railways to deploy composite sleepers, AI-based track monitoring to enhance safety


The measures include GPR-equipped inspection systems and advanced testing methods to detect faults, reduce maintenance costs.
