What's the price difference between the two? Probably quite a bit- per weight, titanium is 10 times the price of steel, though the difference may be less compared to high quality special steel. Metallurgical properties are also different - titanium is easier to forge, but a lot more difficult to we...

The title is misleading. Tonbo and NSCTPL are not startups (they are MSMEs) , the others I don't know personally.
IDEX terms and conditions are very unsuitable for startups and very few take it up.
Also timeline is hardly in 'months'

I have spent a few hours being grilled by Somnath ji and can confirm that he ha...

ISRO has much bigger problems at the moment than launching space station. They need to get the basic launches going again for one thing..

We as Indians have the old world 'poor' mentality of keep using the old product as long as possible. Need to get into consumerist and mass production mode. Your aircraft has an expiry date, just like your shoe and smartphone. Scrap the old and maintain a constantly running production system to repla...

Not necessarily for power semiconductors. They tend to be big in terms of feature sizes. Switching range is also broader and at higher voltage levels. Oh really? How many Mosfet, thyristors, triacs, SCR, solid state relays, IGBT, etc. are being manufactured in India. I don't know if there are any, ...

IITs were always an IT/MNC coolies factory. There is not really any doubt about that. I spent 6 years of my life in two different IITs and I could not find anything remotely connected to benefiting the country or even just generally interesting. Having said that I think the vilification of IIT stude...

Hope this encourages research for indigenous substitutes for the machines from ASML. I am assuming raw material is not stuck with Africa for this venture like for batteries. That is a bit optimistic. Even advanced nations like Japan, Taiwan and China cannot make substitutes for ASML. A more realist...

the article seems to indicate exide doesn't think that IC 's are going away anytime soon. they will probably go extinct with that sort of thinking and hoping for license manufacture if there is a need for Lithium batteries. The article makes it sound that Lithium batteries are used only in EVs, but...

https://swarajyamag.com/business/why-are-battery-companies-reluctant-to-take-up-li-ion-battery-manufacturing What nonsensical reasons they have given for not going into Lithium batteries.

Hi vcsekhar, we are indeed developing cnc machines, robotics and automation systems. However we are still in the R&D process and I estimate at least 1 year until we can prove ourselves with market ready products. Most 'robotics' and 'automation' companies in India just do assembly and installati...

Isro working on tech that can beat even Star Trek's BENGALURU: Isro is on an interstellar overdrive, working on a bunch of future technologies that could be the stuff of Hollywood sci-fi.

L1 procurement reforms are very very important. Perhaps more relevant than JNU idiots. I'm amazed that it got done.

Exactly. It is important to understand why a fighter development programme takes 25 years. It is because modern fighter aircraft is incredibly sophisticated. The Tarmak series brings out (to some extent ) a layman understanding of what was going on for 25 years.

Vicky and nachiket thanks for the detailed response. I know it’s not a simple when it comes to defense psu but we have to start somewhere. I was thinking privatizing a part with good products would be easier. The company can be more profitable but looks like we are not there yet. It's unlikely to e...

I'll add another point regarding the functioning difficulties of ISRO. The govt has in the last month, clamped down hard on importing items by all govt departments including ISRO. Now it is very much more difficult to import stuff than it was earlier. Now they are stuck in a bad situation. I don't k...

ISRO as an org is suffering greatly from severe leadership/personnel crisis. I have outlined it previously on this thread and will not repeat it again.

Go on Saurabh and your team. We are cheering for you! Thanks guys. I just came back from a recent trip to some DRDO centres and wish I could feel that enthusiastic. The capacity for industrial production and R&D in the country is nowhere near what most BRFites think it is. I sometimes feel it i...

It is a generic manufacturing process in which any kind of filament can be used. Like carbon fiber, glass fiber, UDPE, etc. Materials are not the focus of our company.

If 'indigenization' was the main reason for lack of exports, then Sweden would never be able to sell Gripen. It is far less indigenous then Tejas is. Really the main reason is more that we don't make or use our own stuff in large numbers. Why would anyone buy from you if you don't use it yourself? C...

I don't think all the pre 1984 gen are moronic old timers. Otherwise the PSLV would never have got off the ground. But the fact is that a significant percentage of the current senior management today are very stupid and clueless. I have had too many interactions to have any doubt about that. We have...

Pratyush ji do you really think I don't know what I am talking about? I have had to deal with these old timers a few times.

I see a lot of people talking about orbital mechanics, pyrogen igniter and so on but no discussion on the real source of the trouble which is the human factor.
