Maharashtra’s #Economy continues to dominate.

The state’s nominal GSDP is estimated at ₹51 lakh crore in 2025–26 ( So already a $500 billion economy) according to the State Economic Survey. By a clear margin, it remains India’s largest state economy.

Meanwhile, state's per capita income is projected to rise to ₹3,47,903 in 2025–26, ranking 5th in the country, behind Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat.

India has issued a NOTAM for an area off its western coast near Karwar. The notice is active across multiple time slots on different dates.

Report- Indian defence technology company Flying Wedge Defence & Aerospace (FWDA) has announced the successful testing of FWD YAMA, which it described as India’s first autonomous swarm interceptor designed for counter-drone warfare, air defence and Suppression of Enemy Air Defence (SEAD) missions. FWDA said the interceptor could operate at up to 100 times lower cost, with a projected per-unit cost of around $10,000, depending on configuration and mission profile. #Defence #Drones

IISc researchers have built a compact hardware accelerator chip for SQIsign, a quantum-safe digital signature scheme, delivering significantly higher improvements in performance and energy efficiency.

This IISc chip accelerates SQIsign signature verification—a post-quantum crypto scheme resistant to quantum computer attacks that could break RSA/ECC.

Key implications: Makes quantum-safe security practical for power-hungry IoT devices (smart sensors, wearables, industrial gear). At 0.05 mm² and 1-7 mW, it's 10x better in speed/energy vs software, enabling secure boot, firmware updates & auth without draining batteries. Counters "harvest now, decrypt later" threats as quantum hardware advances. Solid step for real-world PQC deployment.

Govt Sources: Today, we have more energy sources than what is stuck in the Straits of Hormuz. We are in a comfortable position in Crude oil, Oil products and LPG. In terms of our current stock, we are in a comfortable position. We are going to ramp up our supplies from other parts of the geographies and make up for our supply crunch from the Straits of Hormuz.

We have been buying crude oil from Russia since 2022. In 2022, we were importing 0.2 per cent of total imports from Russia. In February, we imported 20 per cent of our total crude oil imports from Russia. In February, India imported 1.04 mn barrel per day from Russia.

News of the MRPL refinery shutdown is incorrect. MRPL Refinery is very well stocked, have adequate stock. All the LPG refineries are directed to increase production of LPG. We are in a comfortable position with our LPG stock. We will use our Petchem for domestic use to ease the consumption demand.

LPG from the US has started coming to India since January. Indian PSU Oil companies in November 2025 have signed a one-year contract to import around 2.2 MTPA of LPG from the US Gulf Coast for the contract year 2026.
