🇮🇳⚡ INDIA’S MICROWAVE WEAPON IS READY!
A major milestone for India’s Directed Energy Weapon programme.
Bharat Electronics Limited (#BEL) has completed its indigenous Microwave Directed Energy Weapon (#DEW) prototype, with user trials expected to begin soon.
🎯 What makes it important?
• High-power microwave technology
• Designed for Counter-UAS / anti-drone warfare
• Can target the electronics of hostile UAVs
• Potentially offers rapid engagement against multiple drone threats
• Moves India closer to an indigenous directed-energy warfare capability
BEL’s progress comes as India simultaneously advances laser and high-power microwave DEW technologies through its wider DRDO ecosystem. DRDO’s separate HPM programme has already demonstrated the ability to disable small UAVs during testing.
🔥 The future battlefield is changing.
From missiles and guns to lasers, microwaves & electronic warfare—India is building the technology to defeat emerging drone threats with indigenous systems.
🇮🇳 Made in India. Built for the future of warfare.

🚨🇮🇳 ANDHRA PRADESH’S ₹31,387 CRORE AI DATA CENTRE BET!
Andhra Pradesh has approved a massive 512 MW Green Integrated AI Data Centre in #Visakhapatnam, strengthening the state’s ambition to emerge as a major AI compute & digital infrastructure hub.
🏢 Developer: AM AI Factory (Vizag) Pvt Ltd
📍 Location: Amanam village, Bheemunipatnam mandal, Visakhapatnam
💰 Investment: ₹31,387+ crore
⚡ Capacity: 512 MW
⏱️ Completion: 2 years 4 months
👨💻 Employment: Up to 1,000 jobs
The project has been classified as a Mega Project under Andhra Pradesh Data Centre Policy 4.0 (2024–29), which specifically targets attracting advanced AI-enabled data centres and expanding the state’s data-centre capacity.
🔥 #AP’s incentive & infrastructure package includes:
• ⚡ Power infrastructure support through APTRANSCO
• 💧 Treated water supply
• 🛣️ Road connectivity through APIIC
• 💰 Stamp-duty exemption capped at ₹16 crore
• 🏭 10% capital subsidy on plant & machinery, capped at ₹300 crore over 10 years
• 🧾 100% net SGST reimbursement during construction, capped at ₹490 crore
• 🔌 Transmission & wheeling-charge exemption for 20 years, capped at ₹1,250 crore
• ⚡ Cross-subsidy surcharge exemption capped at ₹3,000 crore
• 💡 Electricity-duty exemption capped at ₹90 crore
• 🌐 30% discount on OPGW fibre-access charges
This is significant because AI infrastructure is increasingly becoming a strategic asset. Large-scale AI workloads require enormous computing power, reliable electricity, cooling, connectivity and high-capacity data infrastructure.
With multiple hyperscale and #AI data-centre investments moving into the Visakhapatnam–Anakapalli region, Andhra Pradesh is positioning itself to capture a larger share of India’s rapidly expanding AI, cloud and digital economy. Recent state approvals also include a proposed 1,000 MW, ₹85,200 crore data-centre project in Anakapalli.
🇮🇳 ₹31,387 crore + 512 MW + AI compute + green infrastructure = a major signal that Andhra Pradesh wants to compete for the next generation of India’s digital infrastructure.

Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-National Aerospace Laboratories (CSIR-NAL) unveiled three indigenous micro and small gas turbine engines in New Delhi.
The three engines are NJ-05, with a thrust of 5 kg; NJ-50, with a thrust of 50 kg; and NJ-100, with a thrust of 100 kg.
@IndiaDST said, the engines have been developed to address critical requirements for indigenous defence technologies. These compact propulsion systems are envisaged for applications such as tactical unmanned aerial vehicles, drone interceptors and compact missile systems.

From classrooms to boardrooms, from Self Help Groups to the armed forces — India’s women are shaping the nation’s growth story.
With greater access to education, healthcare, skills, finance and leadership opportunities, Nari Shakti is moving beyond participation to powering progress.
An empowered woman strengthens a family, transforms a community and accelerates a nation. As India moves towards Viksit Bharat @ 2047, women remain at the heart of this transformation.

A New Milestone in #NariShakti 🇮🇳
In a pioneering initiative towards strengthening women’s operational capabilities in India’s counter-terrorism architecture, the NSG Training Academy, Manesar has commenced the 1st Mahila Commando Conversion Course (MCCC) for women personnel of State Police Forces and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs).
The intensive 12-week course is designed to develop physically robust, technically proficient and operationally ready women commandos through rigorous training in physical conditioning, weapons and marksmanship, tactical intervention, hostage rescue and other specialised facets of counter-terrorism operations.
The initiative goes beyond individual training. By extending NSG’s specialised counter-terrorism expertise to women personnel from different Forces, the course seeks to build a wider pool of trained operational capability, promote common professional standards and strengthen interoperability across India’s security architecture.
On completion, these women personnel will carry enhanced skills and operational knowledge back to their respective Forces, contributing to stronger institutional preparedness and a more distributed counter-terrorism capability across the country.
The 1st MCCC therefore represents not merely greater participation of women in security duties, but empowerment through operational capability—preparing women to undertake demanding specialised roles and contribute effectively to the evolving challenges of internal security.
She Who Dares, Leads.
