Pakistan minister repeats claim without evidence on downing Indian jets
A Pakistani minister on Sunday repeated Islamabad's earlier claim without providing details of downing six Indian jets during the four-day military conflict between the two sides in May.

We have video footage of all six Indian planes which were shot down," Naqvi said. However, he did not clarify when Pakistan plans to bring forth the evidence publicly. The minister further said during this conflict Pakistan had full knowledge of the enemy's planning like what aircraft they would use. "Whatever strategy India devised, we learned about it in time," he boasted. He also claimed that none of Pakistan's critical assets were damaged during India's missile attack on its seven airbases.

Opportunities, challenges in the path of deep-tech startups
The promise of 'deep-tech' startups for the growth of both the high-tech sector and the economy has been recognised. Building on IP generated from research over years, such startups come with a strong innovative moat that helps ringfence competitive advantage and scale growth internationally. This is reinforced by the success of startups such as Grey Orange, Addverb, Cynlr, Ather, Mindgrove, and Agnikul closer home to IIT-M. Startups from my own group including Planys, Solinas, Xyma, Plenome have held out this promise, delivering new solutions where none existed or disrupting existing markets in phygital infra asset maintenance. However deep-tech startup founders face significant challenges at nascent and growth stages. At the growth stage, the key challenge is underestimating time required for product development as opposed to proof of concept (POC). Most R&D funds today tend to be allocated to demonstrating POC. However, turning a POC into a field-deployable product takes testing, validation and redesign based on end-user feedback and it takes a couple of years. Hurdles include non-availability of resources for standardization, reliability estimation, and ergonomic considerations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite? Vitauthority Learn More Undo The role of pre-incubators, incubators and venture studio-like settings, especially those within or connected to universities, becomes important. They provide founders the space and resources to build deep science-based solutions, and they can support them through product creation, providing grants and dedicated mentoring, as well as access to end-users and industry partners. Every new segment entry would require a similar process, and this hampers product development, as the Indian market tends to be customisation-heavy. Founders face a dilemma as spend on product development may not immediately translate into business and revenues. Govt policy becomes crucial here. More grants dedicated to scale-up and translational research as well as industry incentives can help startup founders.

There is also a need for agencies dedicated to certification and standardization; creation of a resource base to understand standards and certifications relevant to an industry segment. There could be programmes where targeted end-users are brought in to provide pilots to promising deep tech start-ups, post the success of which they could get full-fledged orders. At the scale-up stage, founders have to encounter a 'wall of resistance' in the form of a trust-deficit for new solutions, products or processes in the face of well-entrenched existing approaches. Many of these issues are relevant to Tamil Nadu, home to industry majors, MNC back-offices and GCCs. While emphasis is given to the north, thanks to Chennai, there is much interest for startups to connect with industries and users in Trichy, Madurai, and Coimbatore. Access to govt schemes, resources, and funding has improved under initiatives such as Startup TN, but this needs more systemic attention. The state is ideally poised for supporting startups with 'go to market', industry, pilot, and scale-up initiatives. With Tamil Nadu industrial development corporation (TIDCO) and Tamil Nadu infrastructure fund management corporation (TNIFMC), the state can do much to support deep tech startups through specific interventions in impact funding. Creation of state level facilities for product testing and standardisation would be a big boon for startups. More creation of agencies to collate information about certification and enabling rapid processing of applications for them would also be helpful. Tamil Nadu hosts several companies manufacturing everything from automobiles to electronics. Specific targeted initiatives, exposing them to deep tech start-ups from the state could be a win-win strategy.

What will be price of petrol, diesel if India stops importing oil from Russia? Prices of petrol, diesel will reach…,Indian customers will have to pay…
India-Russia relations- File image New Delhi: In a significant update amid the trade talks between India and the US and Donald Trump imposing an additional 25% tariff on India, taking the total tariff to 50% due to India's continued crude oil purchase from Russia, reports are now talking about the inflationary impact if India stops buying oil from Russia. Notably, Russia become India's largest oil supplier since the Russia-Ukraine war and is currently supplying 35% to 40% of India's oil needs. Why Donald Trump imposed tariffs on India? In a massive action against India, the United States, under the leadership of Donald Trump imposed tariffs on India as India continued to purchase crude oil from Russia. In response to the move, India clarified its stand and said that it buys Russian oil because Europe stopped sourcing from Moscow. How much loss will India face if Russia cuts imports? As per experts, if India cuts Russian import of crude oil to India, India will have to rely more on costlier oil from West Asia, Africa, the US, and Latin America, which will pose technical, economic, and strategic challenges. More notably, the shifting could raise annual costs by Rs 25,000–40,000 crore for Indian refiners, which would ultimately hit the budgets of Indian consumers. Earlier, a SBI report has also indicated that the fuel bill might increase by USD 9 billion in FY26 and USD 11.7 billion in FY27 if Russia cuts its crude oil imports to India. US President Trump on whether US will impose additional 25 pc tariffs on India? In a significant statement and a matter of good news for India, US President Trump said the US may not impose secondary tariffs on countries continuing to buying Russian crude oil. Speaking to Fox News aboard Air Force One en route to Alaska, he said that, 'Well, he (Vladimir Putin) lost an oil client, so to speak, which is India, which was doing about 40 per cent of the oil. China, as you know, is doing a lot…'. (With inputs from agencies)
