India’s export story is beginning to look different from the one the country has been used to telling. For years, the conversation around India’s manufacturing exports was largely about increasing production, attracting investment and reducing dependence on imports. But the latest trade numbers point towards another question: Can India become a meaningful supplier of manufactured components and products to other major manufacturing economies? That question becomes particularly interesting when looking at India’s recent exports to China. India’s exports to China increased by nearly 40% during the first five months of FY 2026-27, with electronics and engineering goods among the major…

When crude oil prices rise or a major shipping route is disrupted, the question for a country like India is not simply how much oil it imports. The bigger question is: how quickly can the country find alternatives, protect essential supplies and prevent a global energy shock from becoming a domestic crisis? India remains heavily dependent on imported oil. According to the Petroleum Planning & Analysis Cell (PPAC), crude-oil import dependence was about 88% of consumption in the first half of FY 2024-25. That vulnerability has not disappeared. Yet India’s response to the latest disruption in West Asia shows that…
FLIR has announced the worldwide availability of the MentorLens app from MentorAPM on its professional-grade iXX-Series thermal imaging cameras. The integration brings AI-powered asset condition assessment directly to the camera, enabling maintenance and reliability teams to capture nameplate, condition and thermal images on a single device. The data can then be sent directly to the relevant asset record, reducing the file transfers, duplicate workflows and manual data entry that often slow condition-monitoring programs. For industrial teams, the value of a thermal inspection depends not only on capturing a clear image, but also on how efficiently that information is used afterward.…
