Green hydrogen is crucial for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, refining, fertilizer, and heavy-duty transport, which currently rely heavily on fossil fuels.

Green hydrogen is produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity generated from renewable sources like solar or wind power, through a process called electrolysis.

The National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to make India a global hub for the production, utilization, and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives.

Indigenous loitering munitions will provide the Indian armed forces with a cost-effective and precise strike capability, particularly useful in tactical engagements.

The exercise aims to improve interoperability, coordination, and the ability to conduct joint operations between the Indian and French navies.

The Varuna exercise is a bilateral naval exercise between the Indian Navy and the French Navy.

By providing precise insights, the platform aims to improve yield prediction and optimize the use of resources like water, fertilizers, and pesticides.
