Indian #Railways is delivering transformation at scale: 55,000 km of track renewed since 2014, 90% fewer rail failures, and track running at 110 kmph+ has risen from 40% to 80%. 🛤 🚉

Indian Railways carries 25,000+ trains and 20 million+ passengers daily. Over 80,000 km of stronger rail network, 44,000 km of upgraded sleepers, and 8,00,000 machine-hours logged.

When the backbone improves, the impact multiplies across safety, punctuality, logistics, and productivity. That is nation-building in motion. #Reforms #Infra

IIT Madras just launched India's first indigenous silicon photonics technology. Two solutions: a Photonic Design Kit and a Photonic Integrated Circuit Test Engine. Both built entirely in India.

Silicon photonics uses light instead of electrons to move data inside chips. This is the technology behind every AI data centre, every 5G backbone, and every high-speed cloud network. Intel, TSMC, and GlobalFoundries all have silicon photonics programs. Now IIT Madras does too.

The design kit lets Indian chip designers create photonic circuits without depending on foreign IP libraries. The test engine lets them validate designs domestically. Until today, both required sending designs abroad for fabrication and testing.
