22 Australian companies showcase cutting-edge clean energy solutions in India
The Australian new trade and investment mission took place in India this week building on the Anthony Albanese government's commitment to create jobs and drive growth through stronger international partnerships, the Minister for Trade and Tourism Special Minister of State said in a statement.
The mission, one of five announced by Prime Minister Albanese, aims to deepen energy cooperation with India and capitalise on opportunities in the clean energy sector.
Led by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) in partnership with the New South Wales and Victorian Governments, and supported by Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, the mission will deepen the energy cooperation with India "one of our most important trade and investment partners", the statement added.
Australia is a world leader in clean energy innovation, and businesses are well placed to partner with India as it transitions to a low-emissions future. India has set a commendable target to install 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, and Australian companies can play a key role in supporting that growth while opening up significant export opportunities, the statement added.

Australia to buy 11 advanced warships from Japan
Australia will upgrade its navy with 11 Mogami-class frigates built by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Defence Minister Richard Marles said on Tuesday (August 5, 2025). Billed as one of Japan's biggest defence export deals since World War II, Australia will pay U.S.$6 billion (Aus$10 billion) over the next 10 years to acquire the fleet of stealth frigates. Australia is in the midst of a major military restructure, bolstering its navy with long-range firepower in an effort to deter China. It is striving to expand its fleet of major warships from 11 to 26 over the next decade. 'This is clearly the biggest defence-industry agreement that has ever been struck between Japan and Australia,' Mr. Marles said, touting the deal. 'This decision was made based on what was the best capability for Australia,' he added. 'We do have a very close strategic alignment with Japan,' he said. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was awarded the tender over Germany's ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems. Mogami-class warships are advanced stealth frigates equipped with a potent array of weapons. Mr. Marles said they would replace Australia's ageing fleet of Anzac-class vessels, with the first Mogami-class ship to be on the water by 2030. 'The Mogami-class frigate is the best frigate for Australia,' said Mr. Marles. 'It is a next-generation vessel. It is stealthy. It has 32 vertical launch cells capable of launching long-range missiles,' he added. The deal further cements a burgeoning security partnership between Australia and Japan. Japan is deepening cooperation with U.S. allies in the Asia-Pacific region that, like Tokyo, are involved in territorial disputes with China. Both Japan and Australia are members of the 'Quad' group alongside India and the United States. Japanese government spokesman Yoshimasa Hayashi said Tuesday (August 5, 2025) the deal was 'proof of trust in our nation's high-level technology and the importance of interoperability between Japan's self-defence forces and the Australian military.' It was also a 'big step toward elevating the national security cooperation with Australia, which is our special strategic partner', Hayashi told reporters in Tokyo. 'More lethal' Japan's pacifist constitution restricts it from exporting weapons – but Tokyo has in recent years loosened arms export controls to boost sales abroad. 'This is Japan's largest defence export deal since 1945 with a non-U.S. partner,' said Yee Kuang Heng from the University of Tokyo's Security Studies Unit. 'And only the second since Tokyo loosened its guidelines on defence exports in 2014, which led to exports of air surveillance radar to the Philippines,' he said. Mr. Heng said the deal was a 'massive shot in the arm' for Japan as it sought to strengthen its defence manufacturing industry. Australian defence industry minister Pat Conroy said the Mogami-class frigates were capable of launching long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles. 'The acquisition of these stealth frigates will make our navy a bigger navy, and a more lethal navy,' he said. 'The first three Mogami-class frigates will be built overseas,' Mr. Conroy said, with shipbuilding yards in Western Australia expected to produce the rest. Australia announced a deal to acquire U.S.-designed nuclear-powered submarines in 2021, scrapping a years-long plan to develop non-nuclear subs from France. Under the tripartite AUK-U.S. pact with the United States and the United Kingdom, the Australian navy plans to acquire at least three Virginia-class submarines within 15 years. The AUK-U.S. submarine programme alone could cost the country up to U.S.$235 billion over the next 30 years, according to Australian government forecasts, a price tag that has stoked criticism. Major defence projects in Australia have long suffered from cost overruns, government U-turns, policy changes and project plans that make more sense for local job creation than defence. Australia plans to gradually increase its defence spending to 2.4% of gross domestic product – above the 2% target set by its NATO allies, but well short of U.S. demands for 3.5%.

Elon Musk awarded US$29 billion pay package from Tesla
World New York, Aug 5 (UNI) In a significant development, the board of American automaker Tesla has agreed to give its CEO Elon Musk another huge pay package worth about US$29 billion. The company's latest pay package comes several months after a Delaware court rejected for a second time Musk's 2018 performance award following a shareholder lawsuit. Musk is currently appealing the order, reports CNN. In a letter to shareholders on Monday, Tesla said that Musk has 'not received meaningful compensation for eight years' and that its 'legal efforts continue' to reinstate the 2018 pay package, adding that there's 'no clear timeline for resolution'. The package would give Musk 96 million shares of Tesla, each of which trades at just over $300. Musk would have to pay $23.34 for each of those shares, equal to the amount he was expected to pay when he was first awarded his 2018 compensation package. Musk is not paid a cash salary or bonus for working at Tesla. Rather, Musk, one of the world's richest people, makes his money through lucrative packages of stock options that allow him to purchase millions of Tesla shares for a fraction of their market price. Musk is Tesla's largest individual shareholder — he owns about 13 percent of the company. UNI XC SS
