🚨 Chennai-based Torus Motion has developed India’s first production-ready axial flux motor for sub-100 V applications. Their V1 + V2 series axial flux motors can produce up to 20kW of peak power and are specifically designed for E2W, E3W, off-highway and robotics applications.

🚨 Indian counter-UAS hardware startup Saubha Aerial Systems Private Limited, founded by Ksheeraj Krishna K V and Ruturaj Yellurkar, has successfully tested an early prototype of their handheld drone netgun. They plan to streamline this interceptor system into a capsule, allowing it to be mounted on vehicles, drones, and handheld implements, and deployed automatically using AI drone tracking.

🚨 Thoothukudi-based Cosmicport has successfully completed the first hot-fire test of their Methalox cryogenic engine. This is the engine that will power Cosmicport’s small-lift launch vehicle called Mach Blue.

🚨 Bengaluru-based VECROS has launched their autonomous warehouse inspection drone JASPER. This drone can operate without GPS, generate high-fidelity 3D scans, detect anomalies using onboard AI in real time and send encrypted insights.

🚨 Ahmedabad-based Cligent Aerospace has successfully completed 18 test flights on their scaled down hybrid-electric STOL fixed-wing prototype. They are now working to develop their full-scale aircraft that will have a payload capacity of 1.5 tonnes and range of up to 1,000km.

🚨Chennai-based The ePlane Company has unveiled full-scale prototype of their electric aircraft, the e200X. This prototype (PT-01) is 8x11 metres and weighs 2.2 tonnes. It can carry 1 pilot plus 200kg of payload (2 passengers or cargo) and has an operational range of 110km.

🚨 Bengaluru-based Sarla Aviation has successfully completed the integrated flight-test for Sylla 1.0, their half-scale eVTOL technology demonstrator. This was designed, built and flown in just 12 months.

🚨 Hyderabad-based Harvested Robotics has built Rakshak, their prototype AI-powered laser-weeder that can be mounted on a tractor. It can scan, detect and burn weeds in less than 0.5 seconds with an accuracy of 5mm. The final product will have an accuracy of 1-2mm.

🚨 HSR Layout, Bengaluru-based Panoculon Labs is building cutting-edge egocentric data capture rigs (called wrist kits). They're exporting these rigs to some of the world's top American, Chinese, and Indian robotics labs.

🚨Chennai-based Meine Electric has successfully developed a first-of-its-kind Fast Charge Long Discharge (FCLD) iron-air battery. These batteries charge in just 6 hours, and have now cleared external validation from US-based CES (Customized Energy Solutions).
