IAF’s October industry outreach: distinguish a capability dialogue from procurement approval

The 21 October programme builds on the unmanned and autonomous systems roadmap released in September. Its immediate significance is an institutional dialogue with industry, startups and MSMEs; it does not establish an open tender, a technology-transfer agreement or an awarded manufacturing project.

Proposed project and technical-cooperation context

India–Saudi electricity interconnection: a development dialogue, not a sanctioned project

The bilateral power-sector meeting identifies a proposed interconnection and a wider cooperation agenda spanning EHV transmission, renewable-grid integration, data-centre demand and grid codes.
