INDIA IS SPLITTING IN TWO PARTS Geologists have uncovered evidence suggesting India is splitting into two. Recent findings indicate a section of the Indian Plate may be undergoing delamination, where its lower layer peels away, creating a gap filled by hot mantle rock. This discovery offers fresh insights into the tectonic forces shaping the Himalayas, a mountain range formed over 60 million years by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. Beneath the surface, however, these forces remain a mystery. Continental plates like the Indian Plate are thick and buoyant, resisting subduction into the mantle. This has led scientists to debate how the Indian Plate behaves during its collision with Eurasia. One theory suggests it slides horizontally beneath Tibet, while another posits that the upper portion of the plate crumples while the denser lower section subducts into the mantle. Recent data has sparked a new perspective, showing that part of the plate is delaminating as it ...

"Indian Economy Likely to Remain 'A Little Weaker' in 2025: IMF MD" The Indian economy is projected to experience some challenges in 2025, despite steady global economic growth, according to Kristalina Georgieva, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). During her annual media interaction with reporters, Georgieva highlighted that while the global economy is expected to maintain steady growth, there will be significant regional variations. She emphasized that India's economic performance might be slightly weaker during this period, though she refrained from elaborating on the specifics of this prediction. The IMF's updated World Economic Outlook, scheduled to be released soon, is expected to provide more details about the factors influencing this outlook for India. While Georgieva remarked that the Indian economy could witness some deceleration, she also noted that other regions around the world were facing their own unique challenges. F...

India Achieves Record Renewable Energy Growth in 2024 India made remarkable progress in renewable energy development during 2024, setting unprecedented records with the addition of 24.5 gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity and 3.4 GW of wind capacity. These milestones represent a significant leap in India’s clean energy journey, with solar energy taking center stage. According to a report by JMK Research, the solar sector witnessed a twofold increase in installations compared to 2023, while wind energy capacity grew by 21%. With these developments, India’s total renewable energy (RE) capacity reached 209.44 GW by the end of 2024, reinforcing the country’s position as a global leader in sustainable energy. Solar power alone accounts for 47% of this capacity, cementing its role as the largest contributor to India’s renewable energy mix. Solar Energy: The Brightest Spot The year 2024 marked a turning point for solar energy in India, with the country achieving its highest-ever annual solar cap...

"Understanding Income Tax Rules for Savings Account Transactions: Limits, Compliance, and Best Practices" The rules governing cash deposits and withdrawals in savings accounts are critical to understand, especially when it comes to avoiding scrutiny from the Income Tax Department. One common question people have is how much cash they can deposit in a savings account without triggering an income tax notice. The Income Tax Act has set specific limits to ensure transparency and prevent tax evasion. If these limits are exceeded, individuals may face inquiries or penalties. These rules are particularly important in an era where the government is promoting digital transactions and trying to curb unaccounted cash flow in the economy. As per the Income Tax Act, a person cannot deposit or withdraw more than ₹10 lakh in cash in a savings account during a financial year, which spans from April 1 to March 31. This ₹10 lakh limit applies to the total amount deposited or withdrawn across a...

Why India Should Get Behind Space Mining Space exploration has moved beyond science fiction into a realm of growing possibilities. As 2024 ended, India achieved a historic milestone with its first space docking mission, the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX). This marked a critical step in India’s ambitions to establish a space station and reinforced its position in global space exploration. SpaDeX, launched aboard ISRO’s reliable PSLV rocket, aims to test technologies for docking spacecraft in orbit, enabling the assembly and maintenance of large space structures. ISRO Chairman S. Somanath confirmed the successful placement of satellites in orbit, with docking trials scheduled for early 2025. This achievement is a testament to India's growing expertise in advanced space technologies and its readiness to tackle complex challenges. India’s Potential Role in Asteroid Mining India's success in space exploration opens the door to participate in the race for asteroid mining. The conc...

"India’s Defence Stocks Are Soaring – Here’s Why Investors Are Rushing In" Indian retail investors are increasingly investing in defence stocks following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's emphasis on domestic arms manufacturing. This focus has caused the defence sector index to rise by nearly 56% in a single year. Large asset managers are launching specialized funds, anticipating annual growth in defence production of up to 20% through the end of the decade. India faces security challenges along its borders, especially with China, alongside global conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, driving demand for weaponry both domestically and internationally. Historically, India has been a major arms importer. However, Modi's push for indigenization aims to make India a manufacturing hub by encouraging the military to procure more locally made weapons. Major players such as Hindustan Aeronautics, Bharat Dynamics, and Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders are benefiting from increasing or...

India's Metro Revolution: Achieving the World’s Third-Largest Network with 1,000 Kilometers Operational India has reached a significant milestone in urban transportation, securing its position as the third-largest metro rail network in the world.
