Second list of solar models & manufacturers likely in 10 days
approved list of models and manufacturers
' (ALMM)-II that would prescribe the specifics and manufacturers for solar cells in India within the next 10 days, two people aware of the development said.
The list is used to mandate the use of
locally made solar modules
and cells to be used in projects. However,
ALMM-II
has not been published so far because "the installed solar cell capacity in the country was lower than demand" leading to ambiguity in the auctions.

ALMM-I, which is currently applicable on solar modules, has worked like a non-tariff barrier and supported local capacity addition and halted imports. It prescribes the specifics and manufacturers in India that have been certified by the
Bureau of Indian Standards
.
The
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy
had, last year, prescribed two important timelines for the mandate to use local solar cells. One was for the projects being tendered to have mandatory sourcing of solar cells from the second ALMM list, for which the cut off date was December 9, 2024.

US Army helicopter in deadly Washington crash had technical issues
An investigative hearing into a deadly mid-air collision of a US Army helicopter and a passenger plane that killed 67 people in Washington has revealed a discrepancy in the chopper's altitude displays. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the US agency tasked with examining major accidents, held hearings from Wednesday to Friday, with rigorous questioning of experts and various other parties including regulators and air traffic controllers.

After examining flight recorder data, the NTSB first reported a discrepancy in the helicopter's altitude readings on February 14. Live Events As part of the investigation, tests were conducted with three of the same helicopter models -- Sikorsky Black Hawk Lima -- belonging to the same battalion. The findings revealed this week showed differences between the altitude indicated by the radar altimeter and the barometric altimeter on the aircraft. Investigator Marie Moler noted that the altimeters "showed an 80- to 130-foot (24- to 40-meter) difference in flight" although the differences were within 20 to 55 feet in a controlled test environment. "Once the helicopter rotors were turning and producing lift and thrust, the altimeter readings lowered significantly and stayed lower throughout the flights," Moler said. NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy called the discrepancy significant, calling for more investigation. "I am concerned. There is a possibility that what the crew saw was very different than what the true altitude was," Homendy said. "A 100-foot difference is significant" in this case, she added. In the Potomac River area where the collision occurred, helicopters are required to stay below 200 feet, officials said during the hearings. President Donald Trump was quick to blame diversity hiring policies for the accident although no evidence has emerged that they were responsible. Federal Aviation Agency air traffic control specialist Clark Allen told the hearing there was sufficient supervisory staff present in the control tower that night. The collision was the first major plane crash in the United States since 2009 when 49 people were killed near Buffalo, New York.

'Son of Sardaar 2' and 'Dhadak 2' day 1 box-office report: Both sequels suffer slow starts, fail to surpass 1st day earnings of their predecessors
Despite being anticipated continuations of popular originals, both Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 opened to underwhelming numbers at the Indian box office. Released on the same Friday, the two films underperformed compared to the robust opening day revenues of their respective predecessors. Son Of Saardar 2 Box Office Collection According to data shared by the box-office monitoring platform Sacnilk , Son of Sardaar 2, a comedy-drama starring Ajay Devgn, managed to earn just Rs 6.75 crore on its debut day. This was significantly lower than the original Son of Sardaar, which had garnered Rs 10.80 crore on its first day. Despite Ajay Devgn's strong screen presence and a wide theatrical rollout across various metropolitan cities, the sequel failed to attract audiences in large numbers. In contrast, Devgn's earlier 2025 release, Raid 2, had enjoyed a much stronger launch with Rs 19.25 crore in opening day earnings. That film benefited from a national holiday release and an impressive 34% occupancy rate, ultimately crossing the Rs 100 crore mark within its opening week.

Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora—marking his Bollywood debut—the film also includes a vast supporting ensemble. The cast features talents such as Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Neeru Bajwa, Deepak Dobriyal, Kubbra Sait, Chunky Panday, Vindu Dara Singh, and Sharat Saxena. Late actor Mukul Dev also appears posthumously, while Ashwini Kalsekar and Sahil Mehta play pivotal roles. Dhadak 2 Also Falls Behind On the same day, Dhadak 2 also saw a subdued response from moviegoers. The romantic drama, led by Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi, earned Rs 3.35 crore on its opening day. This figure is less than half of what the 2018 original, Dhadak, collected on its first day—Rs 8.71 crore. Despite fresh leads and a contemporary storyline, Dhadak 2 didn't replicate the magic or momentum of the debut film. Directed and written by Shazia Iqbal, Dhadak 2 is presented as a spiritual successor to the original. It also functions as a reinterpretation of the critically acclaimed Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. Produced jointly by Dharma Productions, Zee Studios, and Cloud 9 Pictures, the film aimed to deliver a powerful social message wrapped in a romantic narrative—but struggled to find its footing during the initial release.
