Indian delegation takes part in opening ceremony of 17th LIMA 2025 exhibition in Malaysia
The five-day event was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato' Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim, and is being attended by global leaders and industry representatives from across the maritime and aerospace sectors.
At the event, Sanjay Seth inaugurated the India Pavilion, which highlights the growing capabilities of India's indigenous defence industry. The pavilion features participation from key Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs) and private companies.
Demonstrating India's increasing self-reliance in the defence sector, the pavilion showcases advanced technologies such as the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile and the Dornier aircraft manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. India's well-curated presence among global defence leaders reflects its rising prominence in the field of indigenous defence production and innovation.
During his visit, Raksha Rajya Mantri toured various exhibition stalls at the LIMA 2025 venue. He interacted with dignitaries and senior officials from several participating countries, exchanging views and reaffirming India's commitment to international collaboration in defence and aerospace.
His meetings focused on strengthening existing ties and exploring new avenues for strategic cooperation in line with India's defence outreach goals.
India and Malaysia share a strong and evolving bilateral relationship, with deepening engagements in defence and security. The relationship has been further strengthened under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, which was formally established during the Malaysian Prime Minister's visit to India in 2024.
The partnership continues to expand across multiple strategic domains, including maritime cooperation, aerospace, and defence manufacturing.
Adding further weight to India's participation at LIMA 2025, an Indian Naval Ship is also scheduled to take part in the event. Established in 1991 and held biennially, LIMA has grown into one of the largest and most significant maritime and aerospace exhibitions in the Asia-Pacific, bringing together leading global stakeholders in defence, technology, and innovation.

Rupee weakens by 46 paise to close at 85.85/$
Mumbai: The Indian currency weakened nearly half a rupee to close at 85.85 per dollar on Monday, from its previous close of 85.39/$1 as uncertainty about US tariff policies resurfaced with President Donald Trump's threat of an additional 10% levy on Brics countries. The rupee opened at 85.57/$1, and weakened till 86.03/$1 on Monday, before pairing its losses and closing at 85.85/$1, likely due to intervention by the Reserve Bank, traders said. "Markets were expecting something on the trade deal with the US, but nothing came up, and the BRICS statement deteriorated sentiments. We were the second worst performing currency in Asia, and due to potential RBI intervention, we erased some losses and to be the third worst-performing Asian currency," said Dilip Parmar, currency research analyst at HDFC Securities. Japanese Yen and the Thai baht were the two worst performing Asian currencies. Traders expect the rupee to move in the range of 85.50/$1 to 86.25/$1 on Tuesday, ahead of July 9, when Trump will unveil his new stand on tariffs. In a social media post, President Donald Trump stated a new tariff policy, calling for countries "aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies" of the BRICS developing nations to be charged an extra 10% tariff, with no exceptions to be granted. India, along with Brazil, China, Russia, South Africa are part of BRICS. The dollar index gained slightly at 97.6, from 96.9 previously. "The BRICS comment has put the India-US deal in jeopardy and we are awaiting clarifications from India-US on the matter. The rupee has fallen as the market is not expecting the deal to be done soon," said Anil Bhansali, head of treasury at Finrex Treasury Advisors.
