The naval exercise comes as a military action by Indian forces against Pakistan is being speculated in the aftermath of Pahalgam terror attack. Following the killing of 26 civilians in Jammu and Kashmir, India has ordered Pakistanis to return home and suspended the crucial Indus Water Treaty.
In response, Pakistan has suspended all bilateral agreements with India. There have also been repeated ceasefire violations from Pakistan along the Line of Control, but the Indian Army said it retaliated effectively. No casualties were reported.
The Pahalgam massacre was the deadliest terror attack since the removal of Article 370.
Indian PM Narendra Modi has vowed to pursue the terrorists to the ends of the Earth. In a statement issued earlier on Sunday, the PM said the attack was a desperate attempt by terrorists to derail the progress and tourism industry of the Kashmir region.
In his 'Mann Ki Baat' radio address, he said the entire country feels the pain of those who lost their loved ones.
'Peace was returning to Kashmir, but the enemies of the country, of Jammu and Kashmir, did not like this,' he added.
The PM promised that terrorism would not go unpunished and India would do everything to deliver justice for the innocent lives lost. He said the punishment would be so harsh that the terrorists could not even imagine it.

India to soon become space superpower, industry grew multi-fold in last 5 years: Experts
New Delhi: India is soon set to become a space superpower, and the industry has grown multifold in the last five years, said experts on Friday, lauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day speech on the space sector. In his address to the nation from the Red Fort, PM Modi said the nation is proud of its space sector. The Prime Minister stated that India is working towards becoming self-reliant in the space sector. Citing several space missions, like Gaganyaan, Chandrayaan, and Mangalyaan, space scientist Dr P K Ghosh, told IANS: 'I think we are very near to becoming a space superpower with all these projects coming up'. Ghosh lauded the PM for acknowledging the space sector, which 'has achieved a lot of technologies on our own, capabilities'. One such example is the Cryogenic Engine technology. Another is the Gaganyaan mission -- India's flagship human spaceflight programme -- for which preparations are underway, he said. Notably, the space feats have been achieved on a 'frugal budget and they have produced results'. Now 'other countries want to collaborate with us', Ghosh told IANS, while mentioning the recent NISAR mission conducted in collaboration with NASA, and other impending missions with Japan's space agency JAXA, as well as other countries. The PM had also mentioned plans to build our own space station -- Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS) -- and underscore the need to become self-reliant in the space sector. 'The BAS, which will come around after 2030, would be a major step. I think each of our 1.4 billion people should be very proud of it. Currently, we have the International Space Station and the Chinese Tiangong,' Ghosh said. 'Our youth have been really motivated to join the space sector,' the space scientist said, citing the 300 space startups in the country. Lt. Gen.

Backed by progressive reforms such as the Space Policy, liberal FDI push, and strong government support, the industry has grown multi-fold in just five years,' Bhatt said. 'The surge in space startups and their achievements reflects an unprecedented wave of innovation and ambition among our youth. With this momentum, we are confident of achieving the goal of $44 billion space economy by 2033 and cementing India's position among the world's leading spacefaring nations.

GST Reform India: Govt Plans Big GST Changes 2025 with Rate Cuts and New Slabs
The Indian government is preparing a major GST reform India plan, set to be announced by Diwali 2025. According to government sources, the revamped structure will simplify GST tax slabs, reduce rates for most goods, and bring relief to consumers and businesses. A Group of Ministers, including state finance ministers, is working on rationalising rates. The proposal introduces just two main GST slabs—5% and 18%—instead of the multiple slabs used today. Luxury goods will face a special 40% rate. Under the proposed GST changes 2025: 99% of goods in the 12% slab will move to the 5% slab. Around 90% of goods in the 28% slab will drop to 18%. Daily-use products will be taxed at 5%. Tobacco products will have a 40% GST rate, keeping the total India tobacco tax 40% burden at the current 88%. Petroleum products like diesel and petrol will remain outside GST. The goal is to get people to spend more, which could balance out any money the government loses from cutting GST rates. In his Independence Day speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called these changes a 'Diwali gift' for the people. He said they will make essential items cheaper and help small businesses grow. He also stressed that India should focus on making high-quality, affordable products to become more self-reliant. PM Modi also announced a new task force to recommend all necessary reforms for a 21st-century GST system. He emphasised that self-reliance is about building internal strength and capabilities, not limiting others, and that it is essential for maintaining India's economic power. With GST changes 2025, the government hopes to make the tax system simpler, fairer, and more growth-oriented, while giving relief to the common man and ensuring India's economic resilience.
