Hole-y Delight! Mad Over Donuts Lands in Hyderabad
The doughnuts at MOD are soft, delicious, and a must-try, with flavours like Double Trouble, Kit Kat, and Brownie. With the new experiential donut setup, you can now customise your doughnut just the way you like it. The beverages served complement the doughnuts perfectly, making it an ideal combination.
'I think it was always on the cards for us to come in, and eventually we realised that Hyderabad is a market we just had to enter. As a brand, we've only expanded to six cities so far, but Hyderabad is such a receptive city...here, bakery and biryani go hand in hand. It felt like the right time to open our own store here,' says Tarak Bhattacharya, executive director and CEO of MOD.
This isn't just another dessert outlet. MOD's Hyderabad store is one of its biggest flagships. The CEO expresses, 'What makes it special is the experiential doughnut activity. Kids, adults, and anyone can come and try their hands at doughnut-making. It's all about experiencing your own doughnut journey.'
With the rising tide of health-conscious consumers, MOD is also preparing to evolve its menu. 'We're already in the process of R&D for our vegan and sugar-free doughnuts. I always say that when you indulge, you don't count calories. However, there is a segment that asks for healthier options, and we're working on that too,' reveals Tarak.

UK's F-35 Jet Program Cost Swelling To 71 Billion Pound: Auditor
The UK's plan to significantly expand its fleet of fighter jets is poised to cost 71 Billion pounds ($96.2 billion) over the next four decades, more than triple the original estimates, according to a report by Britain's spending watchdog. The projection by the National Audit Office released Friday is sharply higher than the 19 billion pounds the Ministry of Defense initially said it would cost to purchase and maintain the Lockheed Martin Corp. F35 warplanes. The increase to the total price tag in part reflects the fact that the MoD's initial estimates were based on the cost of the first 48 planes, rather than the 138 it eventually intends to buy, the NAO said. It also reflects 14 billion pounds in costs the NAO said would be required for fuel, personnel and additional infrastructure through 2069 that were excluded from the previous tally. The push to modernise and expand the British airforce with Lockheed's advanced warplanes has also been stymied by delays, staffing shortages and a lack of adequate infrastructure, with about 11 billion pounds spent so far. "The F-35 program offers significantly improved capability and considerable economic benefits to the UK. But the capability benefits are not being fully realized due to delays, infrastructure gaps and personnel shortages," said Gareth Davies, head of the NAO. "The MoD now needs to decide where to prioritize its resources to improve capability in a way that maximizes the full benefits of the F-35 program to the UK," he said. The report comes as UK and other countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization are planning to increase their military spending in response to pressure by the US and the concerns about the risk of further Russian aggression in Europe. A spokesperson for the MoD said that the program "continues to operate within its approved budget" and said that despite delays, the UK will have two full squadrons of F-35 fighter jets ready for deployment by the end of this year. Moreover, the ministry said the decision to buy 12 A model F35s - instead of the B version - as part of its plans to bolster NATO's nuclear-deterrent operations will cut the cost of each plane by 25%. But the overall plans to equip the largely US-made aircraft with UK-developed missiles have been pushed back until the next decade, while the full delivery of the first batch of 48 aircraft is also behind schedule, according to the NAO, which said such delays are "undermining the armed forces' war-fighting capability."

India's defence orders soar post-Operation Sindoor, acquisitions fast-tracked with Rs 400 bn push
The fast-tracked acquisitions will ensure the enhancement of the military's operational readiness across key domains. The MoD recently approved the 13 contracts under EP of Rs 20 billion for various platforms read more Advertisement Indian Army shows a demonstration of how Indian Air Defence systems saved the Golden Temple in Amritsar and cities of Punjab from Pakistani missile and drone attacks. X/@ANI India has set the stage to witness a record-breaking year of defence acquisitions after the Ministry of Defence (MoD) greenlit emergency procurement (EP) contracts worth Rs 400 billion post Operation Sindoor. The fast-tracked acquisitions will ensure the enhancement of the military's operational readiness across key domains. The MoD recently approved the 13 contracts under EP of Rs 20 billion for various platforms, while the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) has authorised Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) for 10 proposals worth Rs 1,050 billion. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'These procurements will provide higher mobility, effective air defence, better supply chain management and augment the operational preparedness of the Armed Forces,' the ministry said in a statement. June saw the most clearances India's defence is moving at a fast pace, with the ministry clearing a number of high-value contracts and projects in June alone, indicating a new phase of rapid and strategic capability enhancement. Some of these contracts include 10 proposals worth Rs 1,050 billion that have been accorded for AoN by DAC, 13 contracts for emergency procurement of Rs 19.8 billion and the acquisitions of 155mm precision-guided munitions for howitzers. Private sector gets a boost Amid growing emphasis on strengthening domestic defence capabilities, the government is focusing on using its purchasing power to drive indigenous production. Authorities have reached out to industry bodies and private defence firms to encourage greater involvement in manufacturing critical military equipment. In the context of Operation Sindoor, this push is expected to prioritise the production of artillery guns, missiles, loitering and precision-guided munitions, and military-grade drones. According to a report by the Indian Express, the government is likely to expand a model where public sector undertakings (PSUs) lead research and development, sometimes in partnership with private firms, while production is handed over to private companies. This approach was used for the DRDO-designed 5.56x45mm CQB Carbine, now being produced by Bharat Forge after a tender. For drones, the plan is to identify up to five civilian drone makers with the potential to scale up to military-grade production, and support them with technology partnerships and guidance on future orders.

Barely 10 days ago, the MoD and state government signed an MoU for the land swap, under which the ministry was to hand over 65.038 acres of land to the state government, which in turn would give 435 acres to the defence authorities. Tuesday's order facilitates this deal. For the elevated corridor along National Highway-44, the MoD has approved the transfer of 2,26,039.91 square metres of defence land to HMDA. This will be in exchange for Equal Value Land (EVL) and a cash compensation of Rs 748.58 crore. Similarly, for the elevated corridor along State Highway-1 (SH-1), 4,59,222.70 square metres of defence land will be transferred to HMDA, also against EVL and cash compensation. An MoU will be signed between the Indian Army and the CEO of the Secunderabad Cantonment Board to formalise the creation of EVL and address cost overruns arising from delays in project execution. Rajnath Approves funds for scb devpt Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has accepted the request made by Union Coal & Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy to spend `303 crore, which the Telangana government would deposit with the Union government in lieu of transferring the defence land to the state, for the Secunderabad Cantonment development.
