- India and France are close to finalizing a deal, for the joint development of a 125Kn thrust engine, for India’s fifth-generation fighter aircraft, the AMCA.
- The collaboration will be between the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and French engine manufacturer Safran.
- The engine developed for the AMCA will likely have much in common with the future propulsion plant of the European sixth-generation FCAS fighter, for which SAFRAN is the tri-national (Spain, France ,Germany) project leader of that development pillar.
- The signing of the contract could mean that India would finance part of the engine project for the future FCAS, lowering the costs of the program for the Europeans partners, or at least for the French side.

- Aditya-L1: यह सूर्य का नजदीक से निरीक्षण करेगा और उसके वातावरण और चुंबकीय क्षेत्र का अध्ययन करेगा. यह एस्ट्रोसैट के 6 साल बाद ISRO का दूसरा अंतरिक्ष आधारित खगोल मिशन होगा. इसका उद्देश्य एक्स-रे, ऑप्टिकल और यूवी स्पेक्ट्रल बैंड में आकाशीय स्त्रोतों का एक साथ अध्ययन करना है. एस्ट्रोसैट मिशन साल 2015 में शुरू किया गया था.
- ISRO ने इसे 400 किग्रा वर्ग के उपग्रह के रूप में वर्गीकृत किया है. इसे ध्रुवीय उपग्रह प्रक्षेपण यान XL (PSLV-XL) से लॉन्च किया जाएगा. आदित्य L1 को सूर्य और पृथ्वी के बीच स्थित L-1 लग्रांज बिंदु के निकट स्थापित किया जाएगा.
- इसे 7 पेलोड के साथ पोलर सैटेलाइट लॉन्च व्हीकल एक्सएल (PSLV XL) का उपयोग करके लॉन्च किया जाएगा. जो कि सूर्य के कोरोना, सूर्य के प्रकाश क्षेत्र, क्रोमोस्फीयर, सौर उत्सर्जन, सौर हवा, फ्लेयर्स और कोरोनल मास इजेक्शन का अध्ययन करने के साथ-साथ सूर्य की 24 घंटे इमेंजिंग करेगा.
- पृथ्वी से सूर्य की दूरी करीब 15 करोड़ किमी है. आदित्य L1 में कुछ चलते घटक होंगे जो टकराव के जोखिमों को बढ़ाते हैं. L1 बिंदु सौर और SOHO का एक तरह से घर है. यह NASA और ESA की एक अंतर्राष्ट्रीय सहयोग परियोजना है. L1 बिंदु पृथ्वी से लगभग 1.5 मिलियन किमी दूर है. यह पृथ्वी-सूर्य प्रणाली की कक्षीय विमान में 5 बिंदुओं में से एक है.

- Nellore: A team of scientists from different units of ISRO used ‘S-band’ radio signals from Mangalyaan, the Indian Mars orbiter, to study the solar corona — the layer of the Sun that extends millions of kilometres into space — and located the area of the sun where the temperature rises abruptly.
- The scientists utilised the solar conjunction event, when the Earth and Mars are on the opposite sides of the Sun, that occurred in May-June 2015 for the study. The Sun's activity was low at that time.
- During conjunction events, which happens once in two years for Mars, the radio signals from Mangalyaan pass through the solar corona — about 10 solar radii or about 69,57,000 km from the centre of the Sun. This provides scientists a unique opportunity to study solar dynamics. Each solar radii is about 6,95,700 km.

- Export demand for Indian wheat, corn and spices has shot up after Russia launched a military operation against Ukraine, forcing the international trade of agricultural commodities to shift sourcing to India since supplies from the two nations have come to a grinding halt.
- The prices of wheat at the Kandla port have increased from ₹2,200 per quintal to ₹2,350-2,400 per quintal in the last four days.
- Ukraine used to be a big exporter of non-GMO corn. Due to tensions in the Black Sea region and the high freight rates, now the demand for maize from South Asia will shift to India as no other origin can feed this demand
