India has recently launched an indigenously developed AI-based multimodal large language model (LLM) for Indian languages.
An Indian start-up claims to have come up with a high-end med-tech kit, a life-saving intervention, for patients suffering from for treatment of acute ischemic stroke (brain stroke) which reduces the risk of long-term paralysis and disability.
India has recently unveiled the country’s first indigenously developed high-resolution weather forecast system.
A 1,600-year-old wooden ship, long extinct and no longer in naval service anywhere in the world, has been successfully reconstructed
A team of Indian scientists in Bengaluru has developed a super-fast charging sodium-ion battery (SIB) based on a NASICON-type cathode and anode material, that can charge up to 80% in just six minutes and last over 3000 charge cycles.
The world’s largest rice exporter has revoked the ban to reduce its domestic stockpile
On January 16, India’s national space agency, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), conducted a successful space docking (SpaDeX) operation by bridging two satellites in space, after overcoming hiccups twice.
Vikram Misri's visit to Dhaka signals efforts to stabilise Bangladesh-India ties.

In a major boost to India's space and defence sectors, the country’s first Hypervelocity Expansion Tunnel Test Facility was successfully established and tested by the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur.
Indian scientists have designed a new image-correction technique capable of getting better images during the study of atoms at absolute zero temperature. The technique can get rid of 50% unwanted interference fringes in the images, which are important for understanding the intriguing quantum mechanics governed properties of atoms at cold temperatures better.
FY25’s interim budget is 6% higher than the previous year
India has successfully tested an environment-friendly propulsion system demonstrating in-orbit functionality on a microsatellite launched by a rocket, aligning space missions with the environment.
