< Back India to launch AI chatbot in 10 months 1 Feb 2025 Ashwini Vaishnav, Union Minister of Electronics and IT, announced at the Utkarsh Odisha Conclave. India's AI platform will host DeepSeek, the Chinese LLM platform, on local servers. The framework is ready and was launched during the India AI Mission event on Thursday. The India AI Compute Facility, a common user computing setup, procured 18,693 GPUs to develop an LLM designed especially for Indian startups, developers, and researchers. Of those, 10,000 GPUs are operational. Tata Communications, Jio Platforms, NextGen Data Centre, and Yotta provided the GPUs. ChatGPT was trained on 25,000 GPUs, while DeepSeek used 2,000. The government sought proposals from AI startups, and six developers are working on models, which are expected to be ready within 6-10 months. 18 apps for the learning disability, agriculture sector, and climate change will be a part of this model. With a 40% government subsidy, the Indian AI Model computation will cost less than ₹100 per hour compared to other global models that cost $2.5-3 per hour.

< Back Meet Indri, a sugar maker turned world-renowned whiskey maker Ishita Nigam 31 Oct 2023 Indri Trini was awarded the Best in Show Double Gold honour at the Whiskies of the World Awards held in the US last month. When 28,000 barrels of malt lying in their warehouse for seven years matured twice quicker in the extreme Indian climate, Piccadilly Agro decided to turn it into whiskey. Master blender Surrinder Kumar, who worked with Amrut Distilleries, transformed it into a whiskey. Multiple tasting sessions with the Indian, Japanese, and Scottish connoisseurs made them realize they had a winner swirling in their hands. Piccadilly Agro was set up in Indri, Haryana, three decades ago by former Congressman and lawmaker Venod Kumar Sharma. After striking liquid gold, it first launched single malt under the brand name Old Bombay’ but renamed it to Indri, which also means senses in Sanskrit. Since its launch in 2021, Piccadilly has sold 18,000 cases till March 2023. Its stock has surged from ₹25 in December 2021 to an all-time high of ₹328 last month. It relies on its low-margin sugar mills business for just one-third of its revenue. Previous Next

< Back Competition catches up with Tesla, global sales drop 13% 4 Apr 2025 Rising competition in the EV market, an ageing lineup, and a backlash against Musk’s deepening political engagements are touted as the reasons. Tesla seems to be losing the race to fierce competition from established brands and emerging electric vehicle (EV) makers like BYD. BYD surpassed Tesla’s sales in Europe in 2024 by introducing ultra-fast charging and more affordable EV models. BYD sold 4.3 million compared to Tesla’s 1.79 million vehicles in 2024. Tesla also faced a dent in its reputation in Europe after Musk’s open support for controversial political figures, including Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD). A lack of any significant upgrades in its Model 3 and Model Y gave consumers another reason not to buy Tesla. As per the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), Tesla’s new registrations declined by 49% to just over 19,000 units, and deliveries worldwide fell to 336,681 units between January and February 2025, compared to 387,000 in the same period in 2024. Even steep discounts and zero-interest financing had little effect in luring customers. Never miss another post from SalestorrsNews150.

< Back Tejas fighter plane crashes during Dubai Air Show 21 Nov 2025 The pilot sustained fatal injuries, IAF tweeted. The HAL-made aircraft Tejas crashed while performing during the Dubai Air Show around 2:10 pm local time. A day before, the Indian government discarded social media claims of an oil leakage suffered by Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas Mk1 at the Dubai Air Show 2025. Authorities had clarified that the videos trending online showed routine aircraft draining procedures commonly used in humid weather. The liquid being ejected is condensed water, expected to be released from the Environmental Control System (ECS) and the On-Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS) as part of standard procedures in humid conditions. Considered a reliable series, this is the second Tejas crash ever. The first was near Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, on March 12 th , 2024. Shortly after performing in a tri-services exercise to showcase India’s self-reliance in defence manufacturing, the aircraft went down. The pilot had safely ejected. This year’s Show is celebrating host carrier Emirates’ 40 th anniversary. Check out my new book, THE BLACK FLAMES , on Amazon Kindle. A gripping, high-stakes novel. ⭐⭐⭐⭐.6 stars on Amazon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ on Goodreads Previous Next

< Back Northeast bound Alliance Air costing ₹6 lakhs per passenger to govt 4 Dec 2023 State-run airline connects India’s smaller towns with Northeastern cities. In April 2022, it carried just three passengers but charged the exchequer a lofty ₹6 crore. Alliance Air deploys Hindustan Aeronautics Limited's (HAL) 15-seater Dornier aircraft. The central government funds flights from smaller towns to northeast cities under the northeastern connectivity scheme. It connects Dibrugarh (Assam) to Ziro, Tezpur, and Itanagar (Arunachal Pradesh). Between April 2022 and June 2023, it carried 1500 passengers, costing around ₹100 crore, or ₹6 lakh per passenger to the government. While a burden, the government cannot scrap it as Alliance Air connects crucial northeastern airports near the Chinese border. Moreover, the Dornier aircraft is the first Made in India civilian fleet enjoying the government’s push. Government put up Alliance Air for sale after its parent Air India’s takeover by Tata last year. There were no takers, as investors expected the government to clean up Alliance Air’s ₹4,326 crore debt, as it had done for Air India. The government recently gave ₹600 crore to clear its old debt carried forward from Air India. Previous Next

< Back Trump threatens BRICS nations against creating US dollar rival 5 Dec 2024 He recently posted that BRICS nations would face 100% sanctions if they tried to develop a currency to rival the US dollar. The US dollar regulates the global economy, dominates trade and oil transactions, and accounts for around 58% of international reserves. For the BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia, India. China and South Africa – creating a new unified currency will be challenging due to the disparity among the five economies. China’s $17.8 trillion economy accounts for 70% of the BRICS GDP combined, while the South African economy is below $500 billion. Strained geopolitical relationships and policies create more hurdles. Hence, they are focusing on de-dollarisation. De-dollarisation aims to reduce the global dependence and vulnerability caused by the USD rather than replace it. The BRICS are boosting the circulation of domestic currencies in worldwide trade. They are encouraging online transactions via indigenous platforms like India’s UPI and China’s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) as alternatives to SWIFT and the American dollar. They are also shifting their USD reserves to a more balanced currency portfolio. Previous Next

Il pourrait introduire des droits de douane de plus de 60 % sur des produits chinois. < Back Trump annonce des taxes sur le Mexique, le Canada, et la Chine Il pourrait introduire des droits de douane de plus de 60 % sur des produits chinois. Le président élu Trump est revenu sur sa promesse de campagne de supprimer le statut de nation la plus favorisée de la Chine dans le commerce international. Lundi, il a annoncé son intention d'imposer des droits de douane de 25 % sur tous les produits en provenance du Mexique et du Canada, ainsi que des droits de douane supplémentaires de 10 % sur les produits chinois. Les nouveaux tarifs violent les termes de l'ancien accord entre les États-Unis, le Mexique et le Canada, qu'il a signé lors de son premier mandat à la Maison Blanche. Les taxes seront maintenues jusqu’à ce que les deux pays contrôlent le passage illégal de migrants et de drogues. Il a menacé d’imposer des droits douaniers de 200% sur certaines voitures importées, en particulier celles qui entrent aux Etats-Unis en provenance du Mexique. Il pourrait également imposer des tarifs plus élevés sur certains produits européens. Ne manquez pas un autre article de SalestorrsNouvelles150.
