For those calling our manufacturing as screwdriver technology: Designed in India, Made in India 5-axes precision CNC machines with the accuracy of 2 microns! For reference, the thickness of human hair is about 80 microns.
(5-axes = x, y, z, rotate, turn)

This is the way electronics and semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem is taking shape.

India now manufacturing things that go into things that go into things…

देशभर के अन्नदाता सदैव हमारी पहली प्राथमिकता रहे हैं।

दुनिया में कठिन परिस्थितियों के बीच भी हम उनका जीवन आसान बनाने में कोई कोर-कसर नहीं छोड़ रहे हैं।

इ���ी दिशा में आज रबी सीजन 2026-27 के लिए फर्टिलाइजर पर न्यूट्रिएंट बेस्ड सब्सिडी को मंजूरी दी गई है।

इससे जहां हमारे किसान भाई-बहनों पर अंतर्राष्ट्रीय कीमतों में बदलाव का कोई असर नहीं पड़ेगा, वहीं उन्हें किफायती और उचित मूल्य पर उर्वरक मिलते रहेंगे।

Imagine New Delhi becoming home to the world’s largest museum display area?

Think scale. Think culture.

That is the vision behind the Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum!

Today’s Cabinet decision will give impetus to transform historic North and South Block buildings into a magnificent celebration of Bharat’s civilisational journey.

From ancient knowledge systems, mathematics and astronomy to architecture, art, languages and spirituality, the museum will bring thousands of years of our heritage to life through immersive experiences and world-class galleries.

Buildings that have been centres of governance will now become a place where millions can discover, experience and celebrate the timeless richness of our civilisation.

A historic new chapter for India’s cultural heritage!

1️⃣4️⃣ to 1️⃣1️⃣4️⃣

On one hand this is a number…a statistic of India’s rise in the Asian Para Games.

But, importantly, this meteoric rise suggests something else…the immense potential and talent of our athletes.

This year we had:

30 Gold Medals + 5 World Records + 9 Asian Records + 4 events where Indians swept the entire podium!

Two of my favourite data points:

Of the 61 athletes making their Asian Para Games debut, 36 came back home with medals.

There are 34 medal winners among 56 women athletes!

Our athletes have shown that no dream is too big and no challenge too great when there is determination.

Those days are long over when society frowned upon youngsters who wanted to pursue sports.

Now, if you have the talent, India will support you and cheer for you.

Come, play and shine!

Unique features are:

60 GWh of pumped hydro storage.

30 GWh of battery energy storage.

2 GWh through emerging technologies.

40% minimum domestic content for battery storage projects.

Truly, it is more reliable power, greater renewable energy integration and stronger energy security.
