The Project 17A frigates are known as the Nilgiri-class stealth frigates. These are follow-on ships to the Shivalik-class (Project 17) frigates, incorporating enhanced stealth features, advanced weapons, and sensors.

Multiple premier institutions including IISc, TIFR, and various IITs are collaborating under the NQM to develop indigenous quantum computing hardware.

The lab focuses on bridging the gap between theoretical quantum research and practical applications in sectors like finance, logistics, and healthcare.

The National Quantum Mission (NQM), approved by the government, aims to develop intermediate-scale quantum computers with 50-1000 physical qubits.

Hyperspectral imaging is being integrated into recent missions to provide detailed surface material identification, crucial for disaster monitoring.

The Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) has been designated for rapid, cost-effective deployment of Earth observation satellites in the current mission cycle.

EOS-08 is the latest in the Earth Observation Satellite series launched by ISRO to demonstrate new technologies for future operational satellites.

Open Market Operations (OMOs), such as the buying and selling of government securities, are a key tool used by the RBI to manage liquidity in the economy.

A cautious stance suggests the RBI is wary of excess liquidity that could fuel inflation, hence it might use tools to absorb liquidity or manage it tightly.

RBI's liquidity management aims to balance the need for adequate credit flow to support growth with the imperative of maintaining price stability (controlling inflation).
