Govt approves ₹62,000 crore deal to buy 97 LCA Mark 1A fighter jets
In a major boost for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Make in India in defence project, India on Tuesday cleared the project for buying 97 LCA Mark 1A fighter jets for the Indian Air Force. The final approval for the acquisition of 97 LCA Mark 1A fighters was given by a high-level meeting today and will pave the way for Hindustan Aeronautics Limited to produce the aircraft, defence sources told ANI. This will be the second order for the LCA Mark 1A fighters, as the government has already placed orders for 83 aircraft a few years ago for around Rs 48,000 crore. The programme will help the IAF to replace its fleet of MiG- 21s, which are finally being phased out by the government in next few weeks, they said. The indigenous fighter aircraft programme, fully backed by Defence Ministry and Air Headquarters is set to be a big boost for promoting indigenisation as well as give major business to the small and medium enterprises engaged in defence business across the country, they said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been pushing for the revival of the HAL, which has bagged orders for building all types of indigenous fighter aircraft, helicopters, along with the engines for them under his government. The Prime Minister had also undertaken a sortie in the trainer variant of the indigenous fighter, which was first-ever sortie by the Prime Minister of India in any combat aircraft. The plan to acquire 97 more LCA Mark 1A fighter jets was also announced first by the then Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari on foreign soil in Spain when he told ANI about the mega plans to boost the indigenous fighter aircraft orders. The LCA Mark 1A plane has more advanced avionics and radars than the initial 40 LCAs being supplied to the Air Force. The indigenous content in the new LCA Mark1As is going to be more than 65 per cent. The programme has been the harbinger of the Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India initiatives of the nation. More importantly, it is a flag bearer of India's self-reliance in the aerospace sector. The HAL is also set to bag deals for buying over 200 LCA Mark 2s and a similar number of fifth-generation Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft.

Proposed online gaming bill could wipe out India's real money gaming sector, push users offshore, warn industry leaders
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills The Union Cabinet has approved the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025 for introduction in Parliament, a move industry experts say could effectively wipe out India's real money gaming (RMG) draft bill seeks to encourage e-sports and social online games but proposes a blanket ban on real-money gaming. It makes offering, aiding, abetting, or promoting such games an offence, with heavy fines and harsher penalties for repeat institutions would be barred from processing related payments, while authorities would be empowered to block content, investigate violations, and seize warned that outright prohibition could backfire, pushing users to illegal offshore gambling and unregulated platforms.'A restriction will push millions of Indian users toward offshore betting websites, matka operators, and unregulated platforms, exposing them to fraud, addiction risks, and zero consumer protection,' said Rameesh Kailasam, president and CEO of an industry group representing internet startups. 'The bill seems aimed at offshore gambling and betting apps but ends up targeting law-abiding, tax-paying Indian startups.'The online gaming sector employs more than 200,000 professionals across 400+ startups and has drawn Rs 25,000 crore in FDI. Industry leaders warned that the ban could erode investor confidence, choke FDI inflows, and cost the exchequer an estimated Rs 20,000 crore in lost taxes. An allied ecosystem that spends nearly Rs 6,000 crore annually on advertising, technology, and infrastructure could also take a representatives are urging the government to pursue 'smart regulation' that distinguishes games of skill from games of chance, ensures user safety and responsible gaming, enforces grievance redressal, and clarifies taxation experts have flagged constitutional concerns, noting that courts have previously ruled skill-based games are not gambling.'The Bill is extremely problematic, prima facie unconstitutional and not sustainable in law. 'Betting and gambling' as well as 'amusements and entertainments' are squarely state subjects,' said gaming lawyer Jay Sayta, who represents several gaming firms. 'Parliament lacks legislative competence here, except under Article 252 if states pass resolutions. The Centre should wait until the Supreme Court delivers its verdict in the Gameskraft case before proceeding.'

NHAI Issues Over 5 Lakh FASTag Annual Toll Passes, Collects Rs 150 Crore Revenue
New Delhi: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has sold over 5 lakh FASTag-based annual toll permits in just four days, collecting Rs 150 crore in revenue. Tamil Nadu recorded the highest number of purchases of annual passes in four days, followed by Karnataka and Haryana. Further, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh recorded the highest number of transactions through FASTag annual passes at toll plazas, a statement by NHAI said. Private vehicles can now use an annual toll pass for free passage through toll plazas on national highways and expressways, with each pass priced at Rs 3,000. Cars, jeeps, and vans can use this facility at toll plazas run by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. The pass is valid for one year from activation or for 200 toll trips, whichever occurs first. When the limit is reached, the FASTag automatically switches to standard pay-per-trip mode. For point-based toll plazas, each one-way crossing counts as a trip, and a return counts as two. In closed or ticketed systems, a complete entry-to-exit journey counts as one trip. Some FASTags, especially those issued for new vehicles, may only be registered with the vehicle's chassis number. The Annual Pass cannot be activated on such FASTags and they should be updated to include the complete vehicle registration number. The pass is available for purchase via the Rajmarg Yatra mobile app, NHAI or MoRTH websites, or authorised FASTag issuer portals. Payment for the pass (Rs 3,000) can be made via UPI, debit or credit card, or net banking. FASTag wallet balances cannot be used for this purpose. Activation is usually completed within two hours and confirmed by SMS. The average toll for a passenger vehicle is about Rs 50. Completing 200 trips in a year without the pass would cost around Rs 10,000. With the annual pass, the cost is fixed at Rs. 3,000, which saves about Rs. 7,000 for frequent highway travellers.
