100 acres for EV manufacturing cluster near Noida International Airport
Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority
(YEIDA) has given in-principle approval to allot 100 acres of land in Sector 8 to the Electric Vehicles Manufacturers Welfare Trust for setting up a dedicated cluster for EV autorickshaw and two-wheeler production, along with component manufacturing.
YEIDA CEO Arun Vir Singh said that land acquisition work is currently in progress. The Letter of Intent (LoI) for the allotment, which was issued on Thursday, is subject to the approval of the Invest UP Empowered Committee, state policy guidelines, and other applicable regulatory norms.
The CEO added that the Trust has informed the Authority that over 150 units associated with it intend to set up
manufacturing facilities
. This initiative is expected to provide a major boost to the region's manufacturing sector.
The Authority has already allotted land for various parks and clusters in the area, including the Medical Device Park, Toy Park, Apparel Park, Data Centre, IT Park, and the recently approved Electronics Manufacturing Cluster 2.0.
YEIDA officials also said that a start-up manufacturing EV batteries for two-wheelers, including Royal Enfield, will be allotted 10,000 sqm in the 206-acre Electronics Manufacturing Cluster-2 (EMC-2) in Sector 10. Havells has already been allotted 50 acres here as the anchor company, and three other major firms have also secured plots.
Neenjas Electric has been issued a Letter of Intent for manufacturing electric vehicle chargers, LED lighting panels, and related solar-based technologies in Sector 10. Founded in 2021, the start-up is based in Noida and operates manufacturing units in Greater Noida. Last week, Dixon Technologies secured 22.5 acres in EMC 2.0, becoming the third company to join the hub. Officials said Dixon received the LOI to set up a manufacturing unit for mobile phones, consumer electronics, telecom equipment, lighting products, and white goods.
LOIs were also issued to two other companies – Ascent-K Circuit and Aurionpro ToshiAutomatic Systems – for setting up units under the central govt's scheme. The 206-acre cluster has seen strong interest from top industrial players, officials added. YEIDA officials confirmed that the land acquisition process in Sector 10 is also ongoing.

Servotech EV Infra signs MoU with NPCL to develop EV charging network in Greater Noida
Servotech EV Infra , operating under the brand Incharz, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Noida Power Company Limited ( NPCL ) to expand electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in Greater Noida. The MoU was signed by Sanket Srivastava, Head of PMS & Sustainability at NPCL, and Prem Prakash, CEO of Incharz. NPCL is a joint venture between the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group and the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority. Under the agreement, the two organisations will work jointly to identify and develop EV charging stations at locations including residential complexes, office buildings, commercial areas and hospitals. NPCL will support the effort by suggesting potential sites and facilitating coordination with electricity distribution companies (DISCOMs) to streamline installation timelines and reduce costs. Initial rollout In the first phase, EV charging stations have already been installed at two residential societies in Greater Noida. At Stellar Jeevan, Incharz has set up 7.4 kW and 10 kW AC chargers. At Ace Divino, the site features a 40 kW DC charger and a 10 kW AC charger, with capacity to charge three two-wheelers simultaneously. Prem Prakash, CEO of Incharz, said, 'This partnership with NPCL marks a defining milestone in our journey toward building a smart and scalable EV charging network throughout the nation. It aligns perfectly with Servotech's larger mission to solarise India and transform its cities into clean energy ecosystems. By accelerating infrastructure development and ensuring last-mile connectivity for EV users, we're not just expanding our footprint—we're powering a future where electric vehicles will dominate the roads. Sanket Srivastava of NPCL added, "We're pleased to collaborate with Servotech EV Infra to strengthen the clean mobility infrastructure in Greater Noida. As we continue to promote green energy adoption, this collaboration is going to play a key role in making EV charging more accessible, reliable, and widespread.'

One B-2 Bomber Costs Rs 17,142 Crore. It's Enough To Buy 18 F-35s, 29 Tejas Mk1As Or 20 Rafales
If exported, the B-2 bomber's cost would rise further, and its maintenance runs into thousands of crores. Despite repeated demands from Israel, the U.S. has never sold it In a pivotal operation carried out on June 21–22, the United States deployed its advanced B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to strike three of Iran's nuclear facilities—Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. The radar-evading aircraft dropped 14 GBU-57 'Massive Ordnance Penetrator' bombs, each weighing nearly 14,000 kg, targeting deeply buried sites. This marked the first combat use of the B-2 in such a high-stakes mission. Security experts hailed the operation as a display of unmatched aerial capability. The B-2, which costs billions to produce, remains exclusive to US forces and is not available for export. The B-2 Spirit bomber is not only the world's most dangerous but also the most expensive jet. According to Britannica Encyclopedia Online, developing a single B-2 Spirit bomber costs $2 billion (Rs 17,142 crores). If exported, its price would rise further, and its maintenance also runs into thousands of crores of rupees. Despite persistent demands from Israel, the United States has not sold this bomber to any country. How Many Tejas Jets For The Cost Of One B-2 Bomber? When comparing the B-2 Spirit bomber to India's indigenous Tejas MK1A fighter jet, the cost difference is stark. The B-2 Spirit bomber is priced at Rs 17,142 crores, whereas a single Tejas MK1A, developed by HAL, costs between Rs 600 to Rs 638 crores. Thus, India could produce 28 to 29 Tejas MK1A jets for the price of one B-2 Spirit bomber. The Tejas MK1A is a 4 or 4.5 generation ultra-modern fighter aircraft equipped with a state-of-the-art radar system. Even in terms of payload capacity—the ability to carry warheads—the B-2 bomber doesn't compare to the stealth jet. Compared to the B-2 bomber, another American fifth-generation aircraft—the F-35 Lightning II—is estimated to cost around $110 million (Rs 942 crore) per unit in the international defence market, according to media reports. Like the B-2 bomber, the F-35 is a stealth jet designed to evade radar detection. There are discussions about the potential sale of F-35 jets to India, though no official confirmation has been made. Eighteen F-35 jets could be acquired for the cost of one B-2 Spirit bomber. The base model of France's Dassault Rafale fighter jet is priced similarly to the F-35. However, the 36 Rafale jets purchased by India were heavily customised to meet specific requirements, bringing the cost of each aircraft to Rs 2,057 crore.

Ambani-Adani partnership expands with joint fuel marketing deal
Adani Total Gas and Reliance BP Mobility have formed an alliance to offer their respective fuels at each other's retail outlets, marking another collaborative venture between two of India's prominent conglomerates, Adani and Reliance. Previously, Reliance Industries acquired a 26% stake in Adani Power's subsidiary, Mahan Energy, for Rs 50 crore. The latest collaboration enables Adani Total Gas to sell Reliance BP 's petrol and diesel at their stations, while Reliance BP will distribute Adani's CNG at their outlets. This arrangement plugs gaps in both companies' fuel distribution networks. PSU oil companies follow a similar practice in various cities, where CNG retailers have installed dispensing units at petrol pumps. Adani Total manages 650 CNG stations nationwide, while also offering compressed biogas, electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities and LNG for transportation. Reliance BP has a larger network of 2,000 retail outlets dispensing liquid fuel, complemented by EV charging services at select locations and convenience stores.
