The RFP issued by MoD for the first AMCA prototype (P1) says that it must be ready within 24 months of contract signing i.e. sometime in 2029. Then its first flight must be within the next 180 days i.e. end of 2029.

Flight of P2 must take place within 7 months of P1 i.e. 2030. The timeline for the first flight of

P3 is 9 months later, for P4 another 6 months.

And finally P5 around 2035.

After mandatory 1,800 sorties are carried out before the end of 2035, the Series Production will start.

USA took around 6 years for rolling out the F22 prototype and 5years + for F35 prototype .

Timelines : The timelines for milestones M1, M2, M9 and M14 are mandatory. All other milestones are indicative.

India wasted 300 GWh of clean power in Q1 2026 as coal plants ignored the 40% minimum load mandate, blocking solar from the grid.

Curtailment was due to transmission constraints and thermal plants not reducing output, citing higher costs, reduced plant life, and no clarity on compensation. The deadline is now pushed to 2027.

34 GWh was curtailed on March 30, 2026 alone. 20 GW of renewable capacity faces 5+ month connectivity delays in FY27, and 25% of transmission projects for 2026-27 are delayed over a year.

Coal plant load factors fell to 55% in 2023-24 from 85% in 2009-10, expected to hit 40%. #Power

🎉 Green-era transmission expansion is now mainstream.

Bihar is shifting to TBCB for intra-state transmission. BSPTCL and RECPDCL signed an MoU to develop projects via tariff-based competitive bidding, moving away from monopoly buildouts.

*Goal:* Modernize the grid, cut transmission losses, improve power quality, boost private participation, and support Bihar’s 2025–30 industrial growth.

Since 2013, six major TBCB projects with Bihar footprint have been commissioned, including ERSS-XIX in Dec 2025. No Bihar-specific TBCB projects are under construction as of April 2026, per CEA. #Power

🔥 🔥 Andhra Pradesh-based AnduraX is preparing India's first high-altitude drop test for its reusable spaceplane, aiming for an orbital re-entry mission by 2028.

The ADM-01 (ARES Drop Mission 1) test, scheduled for the first week of June, will drop an experimental vehicle from a high-altitude balloon at 25,000 metres to simulate near-stratospheric conditions.

The goal is to collect data for developing guidance, navigation, control systems, and precision landing capabilities for the ARES reusable re-entry vehicle.

ARES aims to enable space manufacturing and microgravity research for pharma, materials, #semiconductors. #Space
