India has invited private defense companies to join an indigenous stratospheric airship program led by the Indian Air Force to develop Airship-based High Altitude Pseudo Satellites-AS-HAPS. These platforms will operate above 20 km to provide long-endurance surveillance and intelligence, bridging the gap between drones and low-Earth orbit satellites, with the government funding up to 70% of costs to boost private sector participation. #Defence

US-based Clean Core Thorium Energy (CCTE) refuted BARCโs safety concerns over using its thorium-based ANEEL fuel in Indiaโs existing PHWRs, saying it improves safety without needing reactor design changes and is a โplug-and-playโ replacement for natural uranium.
CCTEโs paper countered a BARC study that claimed ANEEL would require redesigns and raise accident risks, while also highlighting plans to deploy ANEEL in Indiaโs PHWR fleet, which accounts for most of the countryโs operational nuclear reactors, in December 2024, state-owned NTPC and CCTE announced a partnership to explore ANEEL development in India with plans for local manufacturing and uranium supply with sovereign guarantee. #Nuclear

Context
NTPC's 2024 partnership with Clean Core Thorium Energy (CCTE) to deploy ANEEL fuel in PHWRs faces intense opposition from Indiaโs nuclear establishment, including the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and BARC, who prioritize a protected three-stage homegrown technology pathway. While NTPC seeks immediate economic benefits and higher fuel efficiency to lower LCOE, the DAE argues the imported technology risks safety, leading to a clash between commercial fast-tracking and domestic strategic interests. Following technical pushback in early 2026, CCTE validated its fuel's safety through Idaho National Laboratory testing and an MIT-backed study, challenging the regulatory assumptions of the Indian establishment.

Trump on Strait of Hormuz fees:
I was called by different people, different countries โ kings, emirs, and all of the people that we all know.
They said we'd love to do it a different way. We'd love to invest in the United States โ billions and billions of dollars. And continue our record-setting.
And I like that, actually, because I don't think anybody should be able to charge a fee for the Strait.
