Unlocking UAV making system: 2 players to get Rs 30,000 crore order
The ₹30,000 crore deal to supply long-range drones to armed forces which has recently been cleared by the defence ministry is set to unlock the UAV manufacturing ecosystem in the country, with two players set to split the order, creating distinct production lines that can cater for larger orders in the future, besides exports. Defence Acquisition Council recently gave the the go-ahead to procure 87 medium altitude long endurance (MALE) drones that are to be made indigenously. The drones will carry out tasks such as reconnaissance, electronic warfare and precision missile strikes. The armed forces will shortly come out with an expression of interest, inviting Indian companies to bid for the contract, after which trials will be carried out before reaching the final stage of commercial negotiations. Sources said a key decision taken at DAC is to ensure that two of the bidding players get a part of the contract. The final order - estimated to be in excess of ₹30,000 crore - will be split between the two lowest bidders. Sources said the split will be in the 64:36 ratio, with the lowest bidder getting the bigger share. This would ensure that India would have two separate manufacturing MALE lines, giving the flexibility to ramp up production at short notice if needed. The bidding companies will need to ensure that aerostructures and main parts are made locally and even the engine for the drone is assembled and tested in India. Importantly, even the components for electro optical payloads and satellite communications need to be made indigenously, ensuring supply chain stability and security of the most critical military use components.

Norway-Style E-Waste Processing Revolution Planned For Delhi
New Delhi: Delhi is gearing up to build one of India's most advanced e-waste processing facilities, and it's taking cues from Norway's cutting-edge model. The proposed plant at Holambi Kalan in North Delhi will be designed to handle double its originally planned capacity while aiming for near-zero environmental impact. Environment and Industries Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa recently toured the Revac facility in Revetal, Norway, one of Europe's largest e-waste plants, which processes 1.1 lakh metric tonnes annually without releasing untreated emissions. Officials say Delhi's facility will replicate key systems from Revac, but at twice the scale initially planned. "Our goal is integrated progress, where clean industry fuels economic growth and safeguards the environment," Mr Sirsa told reporters. How the Norway Model Works -- And What Delhi Plans To Take At Revac, e-waste is dismantled using mechanical threshers and magnetic sorting systems, avoiding the need for incineration and dramatically reducing air pollution. A multi-stage scrubber system captures and neutralises airborne toxins before clean air is released. Delhi's design will incorporate similar technology. Instead of unsealed floors, common in many Indian facilities, the site will have fully concretised surfaces to prevent toxic metals from leaching into the ground. In-house purification tanks will clean and reuse water, ensuring nothing flows into municipal drains or nearby soil. Doubling Down On Capacity Originally planned to process 51,000 metric tonnes a year, the Holambi Kalan plant will now be built for 1.1 lakh tonnes - matching Norway's capacity. This reflects Delhi's growing e-waste challenge: the city produces around 2 lakh tonnes annually, according to Central Pollution Control Board data. Replacing Hazardous Backyard Recycling Currently, most of Delhi's e-waste ends up in informal scrap yards, where crude dismantling and open burning release heavy metals, dioxins, and other hazardous substances into the environment. Key hotspots include industrial belts, scrap markets, and unregulated workshops. The new facility is intended as a controlled, formal alternative to this hazardous chain, with third-party monitoring and regular compliance audits. Extracted materials such as aluminium, iron, and fuel-grade waste will be fed back into manufacturing cycles, maximising recovery while minimising residual waste. A Step Towards Cleaner Cities India is the third-largest e-waste generator in the world, and Delhi accounts for nearly 10% of the total. Officials hope the Holambi Kalan project will serve as a model for other Indian cities struggling with toxic electronic waste. As Mr Sirsa put it, the challenge is to grow the industry without sacrificing public health: "I will not allow either environment or industry to suffer because of the other."

DDUGU hosts nat'l meet to mark 5 years of NEP
Gorakhpur: Marking the fifth anniversary of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University (DDUGU), in collaboration with Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), organised a one-day national workshop on 'NEP 2020: Resolutions, Efforts, and Challenges' at Shri Gorakhnath Research Centre on Sunday. The event brought together vice-chancellors of eight universities, directors of two research institutes, and around 200 delegates from across the country. The workshop, conducted in four sessions, aimed to clear doubts among students and teachers, address implementation challenges, and outline strategies for achieving the policy's objectives. In a significant outcome, Gorakhpur University signed MoUs with Ram Manohar Lohia Avadh University, Acharya Narendra Dev University of Agriculture and Technology, Maa Vindhyavasini University, and Jagadguru Rambhadracharya Divyang State University. Highlighting Gorakhpur's historical association with the policy, ABVP national president Prof Rajsharan Shahi said, "The 32-page dissent note by Mahant Digvijaynath on the then education policy draft laid the foundation of today's NEP — a policy rooted in the Indian mind and proud of its identity." DDUGU Vice-Chancellor Prof Poonam Tandon said Uttar Pradesh was the first state to adopt the NEP after 2020, despite Covid pandemic. "The positive outcomes are visible, and we will continue leading its implementation," she said. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
