Russia Offers Stealth Beast Su-57E To India With ‘Make-in-India' Twist
New Delhi: After the high-stakes 'Operation Sindoor', tensions between India and Pakistan have once again surged. In this new phase of defense recalibration, the spotlight is now on fifth-generation fighter jets. Russia has once again offered India its most advanced export fighter jet, the Su-57E. But this time, it is not just a sales pitch. The offer comes with a promise – deeper localisation, seamless integration with Indian systems and full support for Make-in-India defense ambitions. This new proposal includes some of the key technologies originally planned for India's Super-30 program, which is meant to upgrade the IAF's Su-30MKI fleet. The Su-57E would be equipped with GaN-based AESA radar and indigenous Indian mission computers. These additions not only supercharge Su-57E's combat capability but also ensure technical similarity with the Super-30 jets, streamlining maintenance and logistics for the Indian Air Force. Desi Missiles for a Russian Machine The real game-changer? The Su-57E would carry Indian-made beyond-visual-range air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles. This reduces dependency on foreign suppliers and aligns perfectly with India's growing self-reliance in defense manufacturing. Russia is also ready to allow India to make custom modifications to the aircraft. Sources suggest that even source codes and technology transfer are on the table. That means Indian firms, including HAL and private players, could co-produce this stealth jet. What Makes the Su-57E So Deadly? The Su-57E is Russia's only fifth-generation stealth fighter, designed to evade even the most advanced radar systems. It boasts of stealth shaping for low observability, supercruise capability and R-37M missiles with a staggering 400 km range. Moscow claims that the Su-57E outperforms even the French Rafale in certain combat scenarios, particularly in range and missile payload.

Bhopal Metro running late, may miss July launch date
Bhopal: In Madhya Pradesh, while Indore Metro is set for its launch on May 31, marking a significant advancement in urban transportation, Bhopal Metro continues to face setbacks with incomplete infrastructure work, creating uncertainty about its operational timeline. Despite simultaneous project initiation, Indore has successfully obtained necessary approvals for its five-station Super Priority Corridor, featuring modern amenities like automatic fare collection and QR-based ticketing. Meanwhile, Bhopal's project remains incomplete, awaiting crucial safety inspections and struggling with final construction phases. The priority corridor from Subhash Nagar to AIIMS Bhopal, spanning 7.2 km and comprising 43% of the Orange Line, stands at 81.26% completion, as of April 3, according to Union ministry of housing and urban affairs. The remaining work includes metro station infrastructure, depot facilities and operational command buildings, presenting significant challenges. Following Indore's experience, Bhopal Metro still requires clearances from the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO) and the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS), with inspection dates undetermined. Indore's clearance process took approximately eight weeks. The anticipated July launch for Bhopal Metro's passenger service seems unattainable, with officials suggesting a potential start date after the monsoon season. The project's progress stands in stark contrast to Nagpur Metro, which completed its 39.38 km Phase 1 in five years. Bhopal's metro construction has extended beyond six years, following administrative delays. The project cost has increased by 30% from the initial estimate of Rs 6,941 crore. Additional challenges include adverse weather conditions, financial limitations and planning issues. With only eight metro stations planned for the initial launch and minimal progress on the 16 km Orange Line, a comprehensive metro network in Bhopal remains a distant prospect. As Indore progresses with its metro implementation, Bhopal residents await clarity on their city's metro development timeline. Where MP Stands In Metro Race Madhya Pradesh's metro expansion is making steady progress, but its financial backing remains significantly lower compared to major metro projects across India In 2024-25, the Govt of India allocated Rs 47,710 crore for metro development nationwide, with Madhya Pradesh receiving Rs 505.81 crore—just 1.06% of the total funding. This means for every Rs 94 spent on metro projects across the country, MP got Rs 1 Funding for metro projects in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Chennai is several times higher than MP's, reflecting their larger networks and ongoing expansions. For example, Delhi Metro alone received Rs 4,048.67 crore, nearly eight times MP's total allocation Indore Metro is set to become Madhya Pradesh's first operational metro service, launching its 5.9 km priority corridor on May 31, 2025. Meanwhile, Bhopal Metro's priority section (7.2 km) is 81.26% complete but still awaiting approvals, delaying its start Despite its slow growth, MP's metro projects—especially Bhopal and Indore—remain vital for urban mobility. However, with significantly less funding compared to metro systems in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, MP's metro expansion will likely progress at a much slower pace Metro network: MP vs Rest of India India has 1,011.48 km of operational metro track, with MP's Indore Metro adding 5.9 km, accounting for 0.58% of the country's active metro network. Nationally, 979.462 km of metro lines are under construction, with MP's Bhopal (27.87 km) and Indore (31.55 km) metros making up 6.07% of the total under-construction metro expansion MP gets only 1.06% of total Metro funding in 2024-25 Between 2021-22 and 2024-25, the Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MPMRCL) received funding from the central govt for both Bhopal and Indore Metro projects. MP received only 1.06% of India's total metro funding, with Bhopal (0.45%) and Indore (0.61%) making up a small fraction of the national budget. Funding per km for MP's metros is significantly lower compared to major cities like Chennai (Rs 46.72 crore/km), Surat (Rs 56.13 crore/km), and Ahmedabad (Rs 136.46 crore/km) Bhopal Metro Funding Rs 527.23 crore (2021-22) Rs 217.54 crore (2022-23) Rs 613 crore (2023-24) Rs 215.81 crore (allocated for 2024-25) Rs 215.81 crore (released in 2024-25 till March 25) Indore Metro Funding Rs 250.63 crore (2021-22) Rs 260 crore (2022-23) Rs 1,105.74 crore (2023-24) Rs 290 crore (allocated for 2024-25) Rs 290 crore (released in 2024-25 till March 25) Source: Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs MP's share lower than other cities MP received only 1.06% of India's total metro funding, with Bhopal (0.45%) and Indore (0.61%) making up a small fraction of the national budget.
