Rs 20000000000 masterplan: China, Pakistan will have sleepless nights as India to get army of..., Indian Air Force...
(AI generated) New Delhi: India is now going to rapidly increase its drone manufacturing. The government has made a new masterplan to prepare an 'army' of drones in the country. Under this plan, an incentive programme of about Rs 2000 crores has been prepared for civil and military drone makers. Why there is a need for drone plan? India's decision to make this drone came from the assessment of the four-day confrontation with Pakistan in May. In that confrontation, for the first time, India and Pakistan used unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on a large scale against each other. In such a situation, Indian Defense Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh had said last week that drones, loitering munitions and suicide drones were used extensively by both sides during the India-Pakistan conflict. He said, 'We have learned the lesson that we have to double our indigenisation efforts to ensure the creation of a large, effective, military drone manufacturing ecosystem.' In such a situation, the strength of the Indian Armed Forces, especially the Indian Air Force, will increase manifold. At the same time, it will give a huge edge in the battlefield. How much will the drone incentive programme cost? The Government of India will launch a programme of about Rs 2000 crore for this. This programme will cover the manufacturing of drones, their components, software, counter drone systems and services. According to the report, the cost of this programme is much more than the production-linked incentive scheme of Rs 1.2 billion launched in 2021 to promote drone start-ups. Through this incentive programme, India aims to make at least 40% of the main drone components in the country by the end of the financial year 2028. How will India benefit from this programme? This programme is designed to reduce dependence on imported components and counter Pakistan's drone programme, which is supported by China and Turkey. Earlier, India has been importing military drones mainly from Israel, its third-largest arms supplier. However, in recent years its new drone industry has provided some weapons at affordable prices. Still, India's dependence on foreign countries for some components such as motors, sensors and imaging systems still remains. Currently, there are more than 600 drone manufacturing and related companies in India.

Was Rishabh Pant the highest-paid skipper of IPL for Rs 27 crore?
Rishabh Pant created history when, in 2024, he became the most expensive player to be ever auctioned and bought for a massive price at the Indian Premier League 2025. Here's a throwback to the historic moment. Back in November 2024, Rishabh Pant quite literally created history when he was acquired by the team Lucknow Super Giants at the IPL 2025 for a record-breaking price. Scenes at the mega auction event held in Saudi Arabia reached the next level when the auction for Pant began at Rs. 2 crores at the marquee set. The player was ultimately won by Team LSG only. Rishabh Pant's auction started a strong bidding war between LSG and DC. Well, the auction for Rishabh Pant in the IPL was not a smooth one, and it initially began with a strong war between teams Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants for acquiring him. After a few rounds, the bid scaled up to an enormous Rs 20.75 crores by LSG and was sold to the team. However, team DC issued the right-to-match card to buy back Rishabh Pant. But this time, LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka raised the bid to an ultimatum of Rs 27 crores, and Delhi Capitals finally let go and did not contest this high amount any more. Know Rishabh Pant's salary in LSG after being the costliest cricketer While the massive sum of Rs. 27 crores grabbed attention, it must be known that Pant's salary consisted of a few more criteria and contracts that were agreed upon by him and the Lucknow Super Giants. Well, Rishabh Pant has been contracted with the team for a period of three years until the next mega auction takes place for the players of the IPL. Thus, the amount he has been picked for, Pant will receive during these three years after tax deductions. So out of his Rs. 27 crores, the cricketer will be giving away Rs. 8.1 crore as tax to the Indian government from his total contract. The remaining Rs. 18.9 crore will be received by Rishabh Pant in a total of three years, which comes to about Rs. 6.3 crore in a single year. Rishabh Pant's salary in the IPL in case of injuries during a match Interestingly, as per the contract drawn up between Rishabh and Lucknow Super Giants after the mega auction, the star cricketer is liable to receive the full salary even if he gets injured in-between the season and is not able to play any matches further. However, if the cricketer does not get a chance to play in even one match throughout the season, then the team's franchise holds the right to replace him with another player. Rishabh Pant's hilarious reaction to being the most expensive cricketer in IPL history Recently Rishabh graced The Great Indian Kapil Show, where the host and comedian Kapil Sharma reminded him of his massive feat. He asked the cricketer' 'You were sold for ₹27 crore during the IPL 2025 auction. If a player in your team who was bought for ₹2-3 crores scores more runs than you, do you tell him to take some crores from me and score fewer runs than me?'. In response, Rishabh counter-questioned Kapil what the latter would do if some other artist on his show had a better comic timing than him. To this Kapil added that he edits out the parts, leaving Pant in a peal of laughter.
