India's growth story: New technologies to shape future; Piyush Goyal highlights boost to startup ecosystem
Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday said that India's growth story in the coming years would be defined by new technologies, innovation, and a thriving startup ecosystem. Speaking at an IIT Madras Alumni Association's Sangam 2025 event in Chennai, Goyal said, "Your science, your technology, combined with this vibrant startup ecosystem, R&D, and innovation, will shape the India growth story of the future. " He highlighted the shift in India's role in the global economy, from a nation known for seeking jobs to one that is now creating them. 'Of course, in some small measures, we have tried to be part of the startup ecosystem, the startup fund of funds, and various other initiatives to support the startup ecosystem, coupled with the work organisations like IIT Madras have done,' PTI quoted the minister. The minister said that India is preparing for the future with policies that support the use of cutting-edge technology, especially in fields such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, quantum computing, and data analytics. "We don't shy away from new technologies. We believe these technologies will help us as we climb the growth chart. Absorbing these technologies in our activities—in manufacturing, businesses, and the service sector—is holding us in good stead, helping us become the fastest-growing large economy in the world," Goyal said. He also noted that India continues to grow and engage internationally even as global trade slows down. Later in the day, Goyal also held a discussion with industry leaders, startups, and deeptech innovators, joined by Karnataka's Minister for Commerce, Industries and Infrastructure, M B Patil. He spoke about the need to simplify rules and speed up processes around patents and trademarks to support businesses better. He also outlined major government initiatives aimed at encouraging innovation, including the Rs 10,000 crore Fund of Funds for Startups to support early and growth-stage deeptech ventures, and the Rs 1 lakh crore R&D and Innovation (RDI) Scheme, which provides long-term, low-cost capital through a dedicated Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). Goyal praised the strength of India's economy in bouncing back after COVID-19, driven by innovation, entrepreneurship, and strong policy support. He also pointed to the rising global demand for 'Made in India' products, saying that better quality, design, and competitiveness across sectors such as electronics, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and textiles show India's growing strength. The minister concluded by reaffirming the Centre's commitment to inclusive, innovation-led growth and to building a globally competitive industry in line with the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047.

Rs 105000000000: India inks big deal for armoured vehicles, deadly missiles and..., bad news for Pakistan, China due to...
New Delhi: India's defense sector, which showed its strength to the whole world through Operation Sindoor, is developing rapidly. Seeing India's growing military power, Pakistan and China are bound to sweat. Which defence deal is approved? On Thursday, July 3, the Defense Acquisition Council (DAC) headed by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has approved 10 big defense deals worth about Rs 1.05 lakh crore. The biggest thing is that this entire deal is going to be done under the 'Buy Indian IDDM' category so that defense manufacturing is promoted in the country. This means that now products designed and developed in India will be purchased. This will increase the manufacture of defense equipment in the country itself. What are the provisions? The Defense Ministry has approved a big deal of 'military hardware' and 'platforms' worth about Rs 1.05 lakh crore. The Defense Acquisition Council (DAC) headed by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh approved these procurement projects. According to the official statement, the DAC approved the purchase of armored recovery vehicles, electronic warfare systems, integrated common inventory management system for the three armies and surface-to-air missiles. How will it make Indian forces more powerful? The statement said that these purchases will further improve the operational preparedness of the armed forces. The purchase of 'Mine Counter Measure Vessel', 'Super Rapid Gun Mount' and 'Submersible Autonomous Vessel' was also approved. The ministry said, 'These purchases will help in reducing potential threats to naval and merchant ships.'
