Ratha making at #Puri is not just craftsmanship - it’s engineering at its finest.

From the wheels to the flag, a single Ratha has 34+ named structural components, each designed with a specific purpose and assembled using centuries-old traditional knowledge.

Every year, the three Rathas are built from scratch using traditional methods passed down through generations.

No blueprints. No modern machinery. Yet every component fits with remarkable precision.

A timeless blend of engineering, architecture, and devotion. 🙏

India's first 'indigenous' sea cargo container. But a single container, built to Maersk's design, with their engineering support, undergoing sea trials, being described as a "defining milestone" in maritime self-reliance is bit of stretch.

It proves Indian manufacturers can meet global specifications. Maersk already placing a follow-on order for 1,000 containers.

Considering China makes over 90% of the world's shipping containers. Hopefully Indian container builders pass the test of scaling production, lowering costs, winning global orders and eventually developing indigenous designs via @businessline

BIG NEWS - Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated the HPCL Rajasthan Refinery Limited (HRRL) at Pachpadra to the nation.

Built with an investment of over ₹79,000 crore, it is one of India's largest greenfield refinery-cum-petrochemical projects.

The integrated facility is expected to strengthen India's refining and petrochemical capacity while supporting industrial growth.

The project is also seen as a major boost to Rajasthan's energy infrastructure and economy.

While many parents are rushing to enroll their children in private schools, here is a story worth reading.👇

Two sons of Jagatsinghpur who began their education in village govt schools are now making Odisha proud.

Dr. Jagannath Nayak has been appointed Director General of DRDO’s Missiles & Strategic Systems Cluster, while Ashish Routray is among the world’s top 5% scientists in the SciRank Global Registry.

Talent, hard work and determination can take you from a village classroom to the global stage. Proud moment for Odisha. 👏

GCC to India is the new patient capital corridor. 💰

$1.7 Bn in investments in just 6 months. nearly 3x previous half-year.

Defying geopolitical headlines, Gulf SWFs now command a staggering 48.6% of all sovereign capital entering India.

With $5.9T in total assets, expect a lot more firepower targeting our structural mega-trends. Follow the sticky and smart money.

This influx is a highly calculated, structural bet on India's macroeconomic resilience. While the retail crowd panics over transient global news cycles, sophisticated long-term allocators are looking straight through the noise.

They are seeking out massive, high-absorption environments that offer both policy continuity and scale.

The Structural Drivers:
* Policy Anchors: Strategic domestic engines like GIFT City, robust infrastructure trusts (InvITs), and Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes are acting as massive institutional magnets.

* Strategic Partnerships: Deepening bilateral commitments are transitioning these sovereign giants from mere financial investors into multi-decade development partners.

* Core Sector Targets: Firepower is heavily targeting long-term mega-trends across physical infrastructure, technology integration, consumer markets, and energy ecosystems.

The blueprint for the next phase of growth is clear: continue building institutional-grade asset capacity, and the world’s deepest pockets will come to stay.

Sleeping Giant is awakening

After 50 years, India's east coast belt has once again begun to unleash its industrial potential.

A lot is about to change because of this.

Existing coastal industrial hubs, especially along the east coast, are going to face tough competition.

SHOCKING U-TURN! 😳 First time in HISTORY… 🇷🇺Russia has started buying gasoline from India 🇮🇳

As Japan’s Prime Minister visits India, it’s worth noting that India’s largest single-location green hydrogen and green ammonia project is taking shape in Odisha.

The project is a JV between India’s ACME Group and Japan’s IHI Corporation.

• 343 acres allotted at Gopalpur Industrial Park
• 1.3 MTPA green ammonia production
• Primarily aimed at exports to Japan via Gopalpur Port

Another milestone in strengthening the India-Japan partnership while positioning Odisha as a global green energy hub.

🚨 UNION MINISTER HARDEEP PURI :

"Oil companies lost Rs 74,781 crore from April to June due to West Asia crisis.

Petrol prices surged by 39.77% in Pakistan, 20% in Nepal, and 42.69% in Bangladesh.

In India, the increase in petrol price was just 5.58% during the crisis.

In the entire period of March, April, May and June, there were no dry-outs, disruption, queues in India"

A big change for salaried employees. (TOI)

Mandatory employee EPF contribution will be capped at ₹1,800/month (12% of the ₹15,000 wage ceiling). Any contribution beyond that will be voluntary.

Example: Even if your basic salary is ₹1 lakh/month, only ₹1,800 will be deducted as the mandatory EPF contribution, with a matching contribution from the employer. Any contribution beyond that will be voluntary.

Employers may choose to match the extra contribution, but it’s not mandatory.

Adani Group & IHC plan a $11.5B aluminium plant in India. The project could lift India's aluminium production capacity by nearly 50% and follows Adani's copper smelter launched last year. The investment expands India-UAE industrial capital deployment.

This is an excellent article by H.E @takaichi_sanae, Prime Minister of Japan.

It has accurately captured the pivotal role of Assam and the North East in the continued deepening of India-Japan partnership.

We deeply appreciate Japan's support in several transformative projects in our region.

On behalf of the people of Assam, I extend a very warm welcome to Her Excellency as she begins her visit to India today. We look forward to the discussions and outcomes of the India-Japan Annual Summit.

Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY)

A Decade of Irrigation-Led Agricultural Transformation

🔸Launched on 1 July 2015, Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) has completed more than 10 years of advancing irrigation-led agricultural transformation in India

🔸 The scheme expands assured irrigation, improves on-farm water efficiency, and promotes sustainable water conservation. It strengthens irrigation through rainwater harvesting and efficient farm-level water distribution under Jal Sanchay (rainwater storage) and Jal Sinchan (efficient water application)

🔸 Since 2016-17, PMKSY has benefited over 27 million farmers and created or restored irrigation potential across 24.61 million hectares

🔸 Under the Per Drop More Crop (PDMC) Scheme, since its inception, 110.92  lakh hectares have been brought under micro-irrigation
