India deploys warships to Southeast Asia to boost military ties
NEW DELHI: As part of the Navy's ongoing operational deployment to Southeast Asia with an eye firmly on China's aggressive behaviour in the Indo-Pacific, three Indian warships have now reached the Philippines while another is exercising with the Singapore Navy. The deployments of stealth frigate INS Satpura for the bilateral 'Simbex' exercise with the Singapore Navy as well as guided-missile destroyer INS Delhi, anti-submarine warfare corvette INS Kiltan and fleet tanker INS Shakti to Manila 'is a testimony to the Indian Navy's commitment to strengthen partnerships in the Indo-Pacific', officers said. Leading the three warships in Manila, Eastern Fleet commander Rear Admiral Susheel Menon said India and the Philippines shared the commitment towards maintaining stability and enhancing maritime security in the region, emphasizing the importance of such deployments in promoting understanding, trust and cooperation among friendly maritime forces. The warships will undertake a bilateral naval exercise with the Philippines, which will focus on joint manoeuvres and communication protocols to improve preparedness, build mutual trust and strengthen operational synergy in the maritime domain. INS Satpura, in turn, is participating in the 32nd edition of the Simbex exercise, marking yet another chapter in the strong and enduring maritime partnership between the Indian Navy and the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search Ads Get Info Undo 'The exercise involves execution of a comprehensive array of advanced naval operations. These include air defence exercises, sross-deck helicopter operations, precision targeting with surface and aerial platforms, complex maneuvering drills and VBSS (visit, board, search, and seizure) operations,' an officer said. After the $375 million contract to supply three anti-ship coastal batteries of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles to the Philippines in Jan 2022, India has also stepped-up discussions on arms exports to other Asean countries like Indonesia and Vietnam. Apart from the Brahmos missiles, which have been developed jointly with Russia, India also plans to sell the indigenous Akash air defence missile systems, which can intercept hostile aircraft, helicopters, drones and subsonic cruise missiles at a range of 25-km, to countries like Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam.

EC rejects Tejashwi Yadav's claim that his name is missing from Bihar draft voter list
Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav claimed on Saturday that his name was missing from the Bihar draft electoral rolls released a day earlier by the Election Commission. The poll panel refuted Yadav's claims and described them as being 'mischievous', reported ANI. 'His name is listed at serial number 416 in the draft electoral roll,' the news agency quoted the poll panel as stating. 'Therefore, any claim stating that his name is not included in the draft electoral roll is false and factually incorrect.' During a press conference earlier in the day, Yadav, the leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, asked how he could contest the upcoming polls in Bihar if his 'name is missing from the electoral rolls'. He also displayed that entering his Election Photo Identity Card number into the poll panel's app showed 'no records found'. Yadav asked how his wife's name could be present in the draft voter list when his was missing. He said that a booth-level officer had visited his home and collected their details during the electoral roll revision process. मेरा नाम वोटर लिस्ट में नहीं है। हम चुनाव कैसे लड़ेंगे? ताज्जुब की बात है!- श्री @yadavtejashwi जी। {EPIC- RAB2916120} — Office of Tejashwi Yadav (@TejashwiOffice) August 2, 2025 The Patna District Administration later shared a screenshot on social media, displaying that Yadav's name was present in the draft roll. Patna District Magistrate Thiyagarajan SM called Yadav's claim 'completely wrong', ANI reported. 'His name is still there at the booth where he used to vote, and it is there in the public domain, everyone can see it,' the news agency quoted the official as saying. कुछ समाचार माध्यमों से यह ज्ञात हुआ है कि माननीय नेता प्रतिपक्ष श्री तेजस्वी प्रसाद यादव का नाम विशेष गहन पुनरीक्षण के प्रारूप मतदाता सूची में नहीं है। इस बारे में जिला प्रशासन, पटना द्वारा जाँच की गई। इसमें यह स्पष्ट हुआ है कि माननीय नेता प्रतिपक्ष का नाम प्रारूप मतदाता सूची… — District Administration Patna (@dm_patna) August 2, 2025 EC withholding crucial details, alleges Yadav Raising concerns about the deletions of voters during his press conference, Yadav also accused the Election Commission of withholding crucial details. 'Earlier, the EC would disclose how many people had shifted, how many were deceased, and how many had duplicate entries,' he said. 'But in the current draft list, they have cleverly removed the address, booth number, and EPIC number of voters. This makes it impossible for us to verify whose names have been deleted.' The revision of the electoral rolls in Bihar was announced by the Election Commission on June 24. As part of the exercise, persons whose names were not on the 2003 voter list will need to submit proof of eligibility to vote. This means that 2.9 crore out of the state's 7.8 crore voters – or about 37% of the electors – will have to submit documentary evidence. Voters born before July 1, 1987, must show proof of their date and place of birth, while those born between July 1, 1987, and December 2, 2004, must also submit documents establishing the date and place of birth of one of their parents. Those born after December 2, 2004, will need proof of date of birth for themselves and both parents. On July 28, the Election Commission said that 91.6% electors in Bihar had submitted their enumeration forms for the special intensive revision of the state's electoral rolls by the end of the first phase of the exercise on Friday. The poll panel said that more than 7.2 crore out of the state's 7.8 crore electors had submitted the forms by the deadline, indicating 'overwhelming participation'. This would mean that the remaining 65 lakh names registered in the July 2025 list would not have made it to the draft rolls. With the publication of the draft rolls, now the electors have a month to raise claims and objections, during which eligible voters can be added and ineligible names excluded. During this period, voters who believe their names were wrongly deleted can approach the relevant authorities for redressal.

Federal Bank net profit dips 14.6% to Rs 861 crore on MFI provisions
MUMBAI: A sharp increase in provisions pulled down quarterly profit at Federal Bank, India's sixth-largest private lender, even as asset quality and core earnings improved. Net profit declined 14.6% to Rs 861.8 crore in the quarter ended June 30, 2025, from Rs 1,009.5 crore a year earlier. The fall in profit was driven by a 177.4% surge in provisions and contingencies, excluding tax, which rose to Rs 400.2 crore from Rs 144.3 crore in the year-ago quarter. The rise in provisioning, largely linked to the agri and microfinance portfolios, weighed on earnings despite stronger performance in the bank's core lending operations. 'We have had a strong quarter in terms of operational performance,' said managing director and CEO KVS Manian. 'Besides the provisions for agri and microfinance sector, there has been no impact on asset quality. In the MFI segment, we have seen the peak of the slippage and expect that it will bottom out this quarter.' Manian also said that expectations on further rate cuts by the RBI were divided, and that any reduction would affect earnings. Operating profit rose 3.7% to Rs 1,556.3 crore from Rs 1,500.9 crore in the same quarter last year, backed by growth in the bank's lending business. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Net interest income increased 2% to Rs 2,336.8 crore, as interest earned grew 5.6% to Rs 6,686.6 crore, while interest expended rose faster at 7.7% to Rs 4,349.8 crore. The squeeze on spreads limited the pace of growth in core interest income. The bank's loan book expanded steadily, with net advances rising 9.2% year-on-year to Rs 2,41,204.3 crore. Retail loans rose 15.6% to Rs 81,046.5 crore. Deposits grew 8% to Rs 2,87,436.3 crore from Rs 2,66,064.7 crore in the year-ago quarter. Asset quality improved, with the gross NPA ratio falling to 1.91% from 2.11%, and the net NPA ratio declining to 0.48% from 0.60%. The capital adequacy ratio under Basel III rose to 16.03% from 15.57%, supported by growth in internal accruals. According to the bank's unaudited standalone results, provisioning continued to be the main drag on profitability in the June quarter. However, growth in loans and deposits, coupled with cleaner asset quality, indicated operational strength. Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .
