#WATCH | India has achieved monumental milestones in wildlife conservation over the last 12 years. From expanding protected areas from 757 to over 1,134 to doubling down on the success of Project Tiger, the progress has been historic.

A special tribute in Nice! 🇮🇳 The Indian Tricolor was hoisted at the City Hall of Nice (Office of the Mayor) to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s arrival — a rare and significant gesture reserved for distinguished foreign leaders. A symbol of the growing strength of India-France ties. #PMModi #IndiaFrance

MEA says - The U.S. Chargé d’Affaires, Jason Meeks, was summoned to the Ministry of External Affairs today. A strong protest was lodged with him regarding the continuing attacks by U.S. naval forces on commercial vessels carrying Indian mariners in the Gulf of Oman, which have already resulted in the tragic and avoidable loss of three Indian lives. The Ministry once again conveyed its deep concern over the use of lethal and deadly force against civilian shipping. Such actions are unacceptable and undermine the safety, security and stability of international maritime commerce in a sensitive region at a difficult time. The U.S. Chargé d’Affaires was requested to convey India’s strong concerns to his authorities and to ensure that U.S. forces operating in the region take all necessary measures to prevent the loss of civilian life.

#WATCH | EAM Dr S Jaishankar says, "I buy oil based on cost and availability. So at that point of time, ah much of the oil available on the market was Russia because Europeans were essentially buying up the Middle East oil, which was our traditional supply. So circumstances pushed us in a certain direction but since you spoke about moral ambiguity, I would say this, no European country has been attacked with Indian weapons. I wish I could say that for European weapons vis-a-vis India... Europeans sell weapons which are used to attack India. Not now, for many, years. We Indians have never done anything to endanger Europe. So I think that's a reasonable point." (Source: Dr. S. Jaishankar/X)

The North East gave birth to India's petroleum industry; today, it stands ready to power the next chapter of India's energy journey as Nagaland will produce oil and gas again after 31 years! With the signing of a historic tripartite Memorandum of Understanding between Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Nagaland and Assam, India’s quest towards increasing domestic exploration and production of hydrocarbons under the visionary leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji takes a giant leap as a new basin opens up for fresh wildcat exploration! Since Assam alone accounts for nearly 22% of India's crude oil reserves and around 15% of the country's natural gas reserves, while Nagaland possesses significant hydrocarbon potential in the Naga-Schuppen Belt of the Assam-Arakan Basin, resources where hydrocarbons flow naturally and those which have huge untapped resources, the outlook for E&P activities in the North East is therefore extremely promising. By creating a framework for cooperation between the concerned Governments, this MoU signed in the presence of HM Sh @AmitShah Ji, provides certainty to investors, facilitates operational continuity, enables regulatory coordination and creates conditions necessary for long-term investment decisions. I want to thank the Nagaland CM Sh @Neiphiu_Rio Ji and Assam CM Sh @himantabiswa Ji who rose above differences to chart the way forward for the region and the country. The resumption of mineral oil operations will generate direct and indirect employment, stimulate local entrepreneurship, strengthen physical infrastructure, create opportunities for contractors, service providers and small businesses, and contribute significantly to the economic development of surrounding communities and the entire NE Region. @PMOIndia @PetroleumMin @CMOfficeAssam @CmoNagaland @PIB_India

NOAA has officially declared the onset of #ElNino in the tropical Pacific and issued an El Niño Advisory. Forecasts indicate it could strengthen to a moderate or strong event by fall, with a 63% chance of sea surface temperatures exceeding 2.0°C in the Niño region—crossing NOAA’s threshold for a “very strong” El Niño. #Climate #ENSO @Indiametdept

Clarification on higher ethanol blends: The excise duty waiver on depot-level ethanol-petrol blending has been extended beyond E20 to E22, E25, E27 and E30, in line with updated BIS standards. This is a procedural and enabling step, not an indication of an immediate rollout of higher blends, which will follow extensive testing and stakeholder consultations. #EthanolBlending #EnergyTransition

Noida International Airport conducts final ORAT turnaround trial with IndiGo The trial simulated a complete aircraft turnaround on the airside, testing the end-to-end coordination of systems, processes and stakeholders. The exercise included the use and validation of critical infrastructure such as Visual Docking Guidance Systems (VDGS), Passenger Boarding Bridges, Ground Power, as well as integrated baggage handling and cargo processes. In-flight catering and other ground handling activities were also tested, with refuelling scenarios evaluated as part of the operational preparedness framework. As a part of the trial, re-validation of the Instrument Landing System (ILS) and Required Navigation Performance (RNP) approach procedures was conducted. @MoCA_GoI @DGCAIndia @NIAirport @tapasjournalist
