UP govt's ‘fully state-funded pharma park' invites centres from Gujarat pharma industry
A delegation from the Uttar Pradesh government, visiting Ahmedabad on Friday to promote its upcoming Bulk Drug Pharma Park in UP's Lalitpur district, announced that five companies, including Bharat Biotech and Dr Reddy's Laboratories, have already been allocated land and begun to set up their units. In total, 26 companies have expressed interest, including NATCO Pharma, Vins Bioproducts Ltd, and Rockwell Industries Ltd. The outreach event was held in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). Mayur Maheshwari, CEO of the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA) and an IAS officer, addressed industry stakeholders and highlighted the park's strategic importance in reducing India's dependence on China for bulk drug production. Appealing directly to the Gujarat pharma industry, he said, 'We've come to Ahmedabad, which has shown the way for India. We request you to set up a parallel centre (in UP). We are more than ready to welcome you with open arms and we hope to match and provide even better facilities…' 'We have had this vacuum of bulk drugs and formulation in India. About 60% of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are imported from China. This dependence is not only strategic, but it is a challenge to our entrepreneurs. If China can do it, why not UP and the rest of India?' Maheshwari said. During an interaction with the press, Maheshwari said that Gujarat was an important link for the Bulk Drug Pharma Park for its connectivity to the ports. Invoking cultural and spiritual references, Maheshwari said, 'This is the land of Shri Ram, Shri Krishna and Shri Buddha. When these three powers are present in a state, in a country, there can only be prosperity.' He praised the Yogi Adityanath-led government's leadership, citing the 'successful' hosting of the Mahakumbh, where 67 crore people had the opportunity to take the holy dip and that it 'went very well'. 'This is the first completely state-funded pharma park. All the money is from the UP government. We don't need to approach the Centre. Himachal Pradesh got a bulk drug pharma park in 2020-21 which is a non starter. In Andhra Pradesh, it has been four years and it is still just starting out… For allocation of resources and funding, we will do this on our own, which has not been possible even in Andhra and Gujarat,' said Maheshwari. When asked about skilled manpower by a stakeholder, Maheshwari said, 'We have developed a Promote Pharma initiative, which is a Section 8 company to strengthen and develop capacity building. It will invite the best professionals and will have industry, academia and govt linkage. Need-based professionals will come from there. We are also trying to get a National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) in UP, to add to this ecosystem.' The Bulk Drug Pharma Park is coming up in Lalitpur district, located near the geographic centre of India. Delegation members highlighted that Uttar Pradesh has 14 airports, six of them international, and a dedicated helipad is also planned within the park. Additionally, both the Eastern and Western dedicated Railway Freight Corridors pass through the state, further strengthening connectivity. In the first phase, the UP government is developing 352 acres of the park. Officials said that 1,500 acre were already available for future expansion and that the park can be scaled up to 5,000 acres if needed. Maheshwari said, 'Lalitpur was also chosen because it is important to avail environmental clearance (EC) for the bulk drug and API industries. This place has less habitation. We have already got the EC. Masterplan is also approved and facility building work is already underway.' Of the park's total area, 67% is reserved for industry, 13% for green spaces, and the rest for support infrastructure and common facilities. Comparing it to other pharma parks in other states, Maheshwari said, 'We have lab testing, R&D incubation facilities, common climate controlled warehouses and technical regulatory support. We have these facilities which are missing in other places like Genome Park in Telangana and Jawaharlal Nehru Pharma City in Vizag of Andhra Pradesh.' On land pricing, he explained, 'We are giving land on a 90 year lease at Rs 75-77 lakh per acre but those setting up anchor units on 35-50 acre land will get 10% more discount. Basically, it is at Rs 1,700 per square metre of land for anchor units and Rs 1,914 per square metre for normal units. There is a 2% additional waiver if you make a full one-time payment.' Maheshwari said the park's incentives fall under the UP Pharma and Medical Devices Policy 2023 and include capital and interest subsidies, stamp duty exemption, patent and clinical trial support, a 10-year electricity duty waiver, and subsidies for quality certifications. Asked when companies can start operations, Maheshwari said, 'Right now.'

No help needed from Russia, France, Israel, or US, India is making its own… to earn money from...
No help needed from Russia, France, Israel, or US, India is making its own… to earn money from… New Delhi: The days are about to change when India was dependent on Russia, France, and the United States for ammunition for its artillery. Now, the country is moving towards making its own ammunition. The Defence Research and Development Organisation is working on making indigenous ammunition and making progress in it. According to a report by Economic Times, citing sources, four different types of 155 mm artillery ammunition have been tested in the last two years. These tests turned out to be successful, meeting the army's requirements. These types of ammunition include high explosive rounds, smoke rounds, and Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munition (DPICM) rounds. Notably, DPICM rounds are used to target a large area. Final Trials Soon As per the report, the final trials to be conducted by November this year. The army will conduct these trials and if the higher authority finds the ammunitions suitable then these ammunitions will be purchased in large quantity. 'The work of making the ammunition is almost complete and we are now moving towards user trials. The user is already involved in this project,' ET quoted a source as saying. Notably, the Army is working with the DRDO for this project. Anil Ambani's Company Link It is worth mentioning that these ammunitions are being made under the Development cum Production Partner (DCPP) program. Two companies have been selected to contribute in the program. These companies will first make samples and if the samples are given green signals from the Army then the process for procurement of ammunition in large quantities will be initiated. Reliance Infrastructure's company Jai Ammunition Limited and government company Yantra India Limited have been engaged in making ammunition in collaboration with DRDO for the last two years. How Much Power Will You Get? India will need ammunition worth about Rs 10 thousand crore in the next ten years. Not only this, if the project is successful, then the country can sell a large number of ammunition. It simply means that India will not need to buy ammunition from countries like Russia, France, and US etc. Rather, we will be able to earn money by selling the ammunition. How Much Does India Import? A Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) report reveals that India was the world's second-largest arms importer from 2020 to 2024, accounting for 8.3% of global imports. Russia, France, and Israel were India's primary suppliers, with Russia providing 36% of India's arms imports. However, India's arms imports decreased by 9.3% during this period compared to the 2015-2019 timeframe, likely due to increased domestic weapons design and manufacturing capabilities

Prayagraj's British-era Mayo Hall Sports Complex gets facade glow-up
The historical building from the British rule era, Mayo Hall Sports Complex, has joined the list of monuments and buildings that have been decorated with facade lighting—an effort to boost the tourism potential of the city—after Prayagraj witnessed an unprecedented 66 crore visitor footfall from across the world during the recently concluded Mahakumbh 2025. According to regional tourism officer Aparajita Singh, the façade lighting for the sports complex—one of the oldest in the country built by the British—was planned for the financial year 2024–25. However, owing to excessive work and crowd pressure during Mahakumbh 2025, the same could not be completed in the last financial year, she added. As per Singh, the tourism department had got facade lights installed at the giant structure under the Mahakumbh scheme last month, after which its maintenance was handed over to the UP Project Corporation. The bill for the power consumed by it would be paid by the Sports Complex authorities. According to project manager, UP Project Corporation, Prayagraj region, Rajesh Sharma, the tourism department handed over the maintenance of the facade lights installed on Mayo Hall Sports Complex to the Project Corporation this month. As per Sharma, several other sites in Prayagraj are also on the list to be illuminated with façade lights before the 2031 Kumbh Mela, some of which include Victoria Memorial, Allahabad Museum, Minto Park, Chowk Clock Tower, etc. The facade lighting on Mayo Hall Sports Complex was carried out with a budget of ₹1.95 crore. It may be mentioned that before Mahakumbh 2025—organised between January 13 and February 26, 2025—several ancient temples and buildings, besides the New Yamuna Bridge, were decorated with façade lighting. These include Nagvasuki Temple, Shankar Viman Mandapam, Maa Alopshankari Temple, Akbar's Fort, New Yamuna Bridge, Shastri Bridge, etc.
