Larsen & Toubro shares in focus on Tejas milestone with privately built wings
As per reports by Alpha Defense, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has completed the first pair of Tejas fighter aircraft wings manufactured entirely outside the public sector — a historic milestone for India's aerospace industry. This marks the first time a private Indian company has produced this critical flight structure, and an official handover event is awaited.
Alpha Defense reports that L&T successfully built the wings, meeting all stringent structural and quality specifications. This achievement signals the growing capabilities of India's private sector in high-end aerospace manufacturing, previously dominated by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
Jet wings are complex, flight-critical assemblies that bear aerodynamic loads, house fuel systems, hydraulics, and control linkages, demanding precision engineering and advanced tooling. L&T achieved this using technologies like automated fiber placement, autoclave curing, and ultrasonic drilling to adhere to global aerospace standards, according to Alpha Defense.
HAL's modular production strategy for the Tejas Mk1A involves sourcing key components from private partners: Dynamatic Technologies supplies the front fuselage, VEM Technologies the mid-section, Alpha Tocol the rear fuselage, and Tata Advanced Systems the tailfins and rudders. With L&T now delivering the wings, nearly the entire airframe is sourced from private industry, while HAL remains the final integrator.
The Alpha Defense report emphasizes that L&T's milestone aligns with India's Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives. It enables faster Tejas deliveries, strengthens the aerospace supply chain, and reduces dependence on the public sector.
Once the formal handover is completed, it will mark a defining moment for Indian aerospace — the first flight-critical Tejas component from a private production line. This development not only enhances India's manufacturing depth but also boosts its path to self-reliance and competitiveness in global defense markets.

Treasury Bonds Just Hit 4-Week Lows. How Much Lower Can They Go?
September U.S. T-Bond futures (ZBU25) present a selling opportunity on more price weakness. See on the daily bar chart for September U.S. Treasury bond futures that prices are now starting to trend lower and have just hit a four-week low. See, too, at the bottom of the chart that the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator is in a bearish posture and has recently produced a bearish line crossover signal, whereby the red MACD line has moved below the blue trigger line. Both lines are also trending down.

Sign Up Now! Fundamentally, the U.S. economy is in pretty good shape, as seen by recent more upbeat U.S. economic data. The Federal Reserve also thinks U.S. inflation remains sticky. Both of these factors are likely to limit the ability of the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. These elements are also U.S. bond-market bearish. Rising U.S. trade tariff threats have only added to worries about rising inflation. A move in September U.S. T-Bond futures prices below chart support at 112 16/32 would become a selling opportunity. The downside price objective would be 108 even, or below. Technical resistance, for which to place a protective buy stop just above, is located at 114 16/32. IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not a futures broker and do not manage any trading accounts other than my own personal account. It is my goal to point out to you potential trading opportunities. However, it is up to you to: (1) decide when and if you want to initiate any trades and (2) determine the size of any trades you may initiate. Any trades I discuss are hypothetical in nature. Here is what the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has said about futures trading (and I agree 100%): Trading commodity futures and options is not for everyone. IT IS A VOLATILE, COMPLEX AND RISKY BUSINESS. Before you invest any money in futures or options contracts, you should consider your financial experience, goals and financial resources, and know how much you can afford to lose above and beyond your initial payment to a broker. You should understand commodity futures and options contracts and your obligations in entering into those contracts. You should understand your exposure to risk and other aspects of trading by thoroughly reviewing the risk disclosure documents your broker is required to give you.

Not a typo! Get a Galaxy Flip 7 for free at T-Mobile
Nothing beats heading back to campus with the latest phone and right now T-Mobile is offering a killer deal on Samsung's new foldable. For a limited time, you can get the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 for free at T-Mobile. That's one of the best Galaxy Z Flip 7 pre-order deals I've seen. Galaxy Z Flip 7 preorders: free w/ unlimited @ T-MobileT-Mobile is offering various Galaxy Z Flip 7 preorder deals. You can get the phone for free when you add a line on T-Mobile's Go5G Plus or Experience More plans. Or get it for free with Experience More and Experience Beyond plans. The phone features a 6.9-inch AMOLED (2520 x 1080) inner display w/ 120Hz refresh, 4.1-inch AMOLED (948 x 1048) outer display w/ 120Hz refresh, Exynos 2500 CPU, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. You also get 50MP f/1.8 main and 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide rear cameras and a 10MP f2.2 selfie cam. In our Galaxy Z Flip 7 hands-on, we called it flip phone perfection thanks to the phone's biggest upgrade in years. Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which underwent a $100 price increase, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 remains at the same $1,099 starting price as last year's model. It also undercuts the $1,299 Motorola Razr Ultra (2025), which is currently the best foldable phone you can buy. In our Galaxy Z Flip 7 hands-on, we said Samsung's foldable flip phone receives a big makeover complete with larger inner and outer screens, more Galaxy AI features, bigger battery, and — for the first time ever in the series — Samsung DeX support. (You can read more about the DeX experience in our hands-on). We love the large 4.1-inch Flex Window on the outside of the Z Flip 7. The screen goes all the way to the edges and wraps around the cameras. It can be customized to include a bunch of different widgets. Meanwhile, the phone's 6.9-inch inner display looks just as gorgeous as ever, complete with wide viewing angles and plenty of detail. We're still in the process of reviewing Samsung's phone, but we think the Galaxy Z Flip 7 has the potential of pulling ahead of the Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) and it could be the better foldable against the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
