Japan’s Jinki-Ittai is seeking Indian manufacturing partners to produce humanoid robots for railways and industrial applications. The company is valued at ¥3 billion (~₹179 crore) and uses a robotics subscription model. Separately, Integral Coach Factory plans ₹500 crore of investment in robotic welding automation over the next 2 years.

This is such a beautiful drone video of the Vande Bharat passing over the Perumon railway bridge at Munroe island near the Ashtamudi lake giving us a lovely view of Kerala's scenic backwaters landscape!

Munroe Island (also known as Mundrothuruthu) is a serene cluster of eight small islets in Kerala's Kollam district, located about 25 km north of Kollam town. Nestled at the confluence of Ashtamudi Lake and the Kallada River, it is famous for dense mangrove forests, narrow winding canals, and authentic, slow-paced village life. #IndianRailways #Kerala #dronevideo

RVNL-TMH now targets December 2026 for the first Vande Bharat Sleeper prototype, revising the earlier June 2026 timeline. The ₹14,400 crore project by Kinet Railway Solutions will deliver 120 sleeper trainsets with 35 years of maintenance support. 🚄🇮🇳

Sense to compare steel consumption of a developing economy and a developed economy
Because most of their infra buildup and construction has already happened + economies mature service sector contribution increases
Which doesn't need huge amount of steel consumption.

[uncle deng @NBaidmehta]

Power / steel consumption is never a good proxy for
Only industrial sector is not the contributor to service sector/ light industries are also a contributor to GDP
If a nation has higher amount of heavy industries the metric is skewed
Same is the case of steel
It doesn't make

🚤 Goa accelerates plans for a Water Metro network after receiving support from the Centre.

📍 The state has initiated the appointment of KMRL to prepare the DPR within the next 2 months.

🌊 The proposed system includes 8 identified corridors spanning about 111 km. https://t.co/Pu5QOcrubC

Pretty damn impressive.

It's wild that Pakistan still struggles with youth literacy. (An issue that even many highly dysfunctional Third World countries routinely solve these days).

Incidentally, you can see its human capital gap with Bangladesh developing into a chasm.

[Shekhar Gupta @ShekharGupta]

Just look at these salaries. A scientist after 11 years gets basic pay of 1,23,000. With DA, allowances might reach 2 lakhs or thereabouts. There’s a challenge with govt salaries, but this won’t attract the best talent.

[RÄJ @catdaddyissues]

now that both northern DFCs are in place, freight equalisation policy as the reason for lagging behind should be done with in next couple of years. fix your institutions.

[veteran of the token wars @TheIndicMind]

BJP should really pursue this hard. They have shown good intent here and they rule a majority of the states. Get it passed in states quick and execute ruthelssly.

Model Municipal Act looks promising.

Mayoral system with mayor-in-council

Merging parastatals into one org

Better property tax devolution (more
chunk to urban centers), digitized enforcement and tax collection

[sphinx @protosphinx]

My view is that EV dependence is better than oil dependence.

Either way you import something. But with EVs, you can power them with solar/nuclear and eventually solve batteries.

With oil, no tech upgrade changes the core problem: you still need oil.
