Coast Guard inducts fast patrol boat of Goa Shipyard
Panaji:
The
Indian Coast Guard
on Thursday inducted ICGS Adamya, the first of eight fast patrol vessels (FPVs) from Goa Shipyard.
ICGS Adamya is the first ship in its class to feature controllable pitch propellers and indigenously developed gearboxes for superior manoeuvrability, operational flexibility, and enhanced performance.
The ICGS Adamya is equipped with a 30mm CRN-91 gun, two 12.7mm stabilised remote-control guns with fire control systems, and other advanced systems. These features will allow the vessel to operate with increased precision, efficiency, and responsiveness across India's extensive maritime domain.
These fast patrol vessels will act as force multipliers in the Indian Coast Guard's operational fleet, enabling swift response for law enforcement, surveillance, rescue, and the protection of India's Exclusive Economic Zone.
In 2022, the Indian Coast Guard placed an order for eight fast patrol vessels as part of a Rs 473 crore ($62.1 million) contract.
GSL launched the first two FPVs - Adamya and Akshar - in Oct 2024, while the fifth one - Achal - was launched this month.

Israel Iran War 'US Used Up Its 20% Stock To Support Israel' Trump Netanyahu THAAD
The United States spent a total of 15 to 20 percent of its advanced anti-missile system Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) to strengthen defence against Iran's airstrikes during the 12-day conflict this month, which erupted after Israel launched a surprise attack on Tehran. According to Military Watch Magazine, between 60 to 80 THAAD interceptors were used during the conflict. A single launch of a THAAD interceptor costs between USD 12 million to 15 million (Rs 102 crore to 128 crore; as per today's exchange rate), which means the entire cost of the usage of these interceptors during the recent conflict falls between USD 810 million to USD 1.215 billion.

‘UP traders driving eco growth, nation-building'
Lucknow: During the 'Bhamashah Samman Samaroh' organised by the state tax department at Lok Bhavan on Saturday, Sarojininagar MLA Rajeshwar Singh said, "UP's traders have not only strengthened the state's economic resources but have also played a vital role in social service and nation-building. " Calling the business class a reflection of "effort, enterprise, and execution," he hailed them as a driving force behind Uttar Pradesh's emergence as a global trade hub. Drawing inspiration from Bhamashah, the historic figure known for donating his wealth to Maharana Pratap, Dr Singh said, "Bhamashah is a timeless symbol of patriotism, sacrifice, and service. Today's traders mirror the same commitment to national progress." Highlighting UP's trade surge, he noted that foreign exports touched $21.98 billion in FY 2024–25, while GST collections reached Rs 9,956 crore in April alone — underlining the merchant class's growing economic influence.
