INDIA must accelerate AI-led innovation, industrial automation, and the adoption of frontier technologies to fully realize its manufacturing ambitions, according to The Make-in-India Upgrade: Advanced Manufacturing Trends, a December 2025 chartbook by Ionic Wealth.
India stands at a critical juncture in its industrial journey, with advanced manufacturing emerging as a decisive lever for long-term economic competitiveness.
The report noted that failure to unlock advanced manufacturing could leave India with a manufacturing GDP gap by 2047 Viksit Bharat vision.
Under a business-as-usual scenario, manufacturing GDP would reach only US$2.3 trillion, far below the US$7.4 trillion potential, highlighting what the report calls a “significant gap” if decisive action is not taken At the core of the recommended strategy is AI-led innovation and productivity gains, combined with automation, digitization, and product and process innovation.
The report stated that AI-led innovation and productivity gains, along with industrial automation and adoption of frontier technologies, are the key enablers to foster India’s manufacturing progress.
Technologies can help Indian firms move up global value chains, reduce costs, and compete with manufacturing powerhouses.
India has already made progress on foundational reforms. The report noted advances made in labour code implementation, GST rationalization, easing of FDI norms, land reforms, and infrastructure modernization, including single-window digital clearances under PM Gati Shakti and the rollout of the National Logistics Policy.
Large investments such as Micron’s US$2.75 billion semiconductor assembly plant and Google’s combined US$25 billion commitment to digitization and AI-led data centres are cited as early indicators of momentum in the report. — ANI

Global energy demand is increasing year by year, and according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) report, in 2025 it will rise by 2.2 per cent compared to 2024. At present, nine per cent of the world’s energy demand is being met by nuclear energy. It is also noted that under the World Net-Zero Carbon Emissions plan, programmes are being implemented to combine the use of renewable energy with nuclear energy.
In addition, nuclear technologies in agriculture support safer and more secure food production that is more resilient to climate change. Programmes such as mutation breeding have produced crop varieties resistant to drought, water scarcity, pests, and diseases. Likewise, sterile insect techniques, which prevent reproduction, have helped reduce the use of pesticides, while also protecting ecosystems and enabling sustainable harvests in the long term.

This collaboration has enabled Myanmar to begin developing its nuclear energy sector and lay the foundational groundwork for its advancement. As an initial step, Myanmar is working closely with ROSATOM to establish a small nuclear power plant. The country is striving to meet its growing electricity demand and provide power to small-scale industries as well as rural communities by peacefully utilizing nuclear power to generate electricity for the interests of the people and the nation.

Nuclear energy is also a form of green energy with low carbon emissions and can provide stable electricity. Radioisotopes and nuclear imaging technologies have transformed methods of disease detection and treatment. Early diagnosis of cancers and precise targeted therapies through radiotherapy have saved millions of lives each year and greatly improved the quality of life for countless people. Nuclear medicine is an example of how scientific knowledge can provide valuable services for humanity.
When nuclear energy is used for peaceful purposes across various sectors, it brings numerous benefits to humanity, but it also has certain limitations. When using nuclear energy, it is necessary to systematically manage radioactive waste to avoid harming natural ecosystems, to prevent radiation leakage from nuclear materials, and to establish reliable safety measures in advance to ensure that nuclear accidents do not occur. Myanmar has been a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) since 1957 and has participated in the agency’s Technical Cooperation programmes.
Since 2022, Myanmar has signed memorandums of understanding with the Russian Federation and the state-owned nuclear corporation ROSATOM to cooperate on the peaceful use of nuclear energy. This collaboration has enabled Myanmar to begin developing its nuclear energy sector and lay the foundational groundwork for its advancement. As an initial step, Myanmar is working closely with ROSATOM to establish a small nuclear power plant. The country is striving to meet its growing electricity demand and provide power to small-scale industries as well as rural communities by peacefully utilizing nuclear power to generate electricity for the interests of the people and the nation.

Xinhua News Agency on 9 August 2025 stated a news story with the headline: 2025 World Robot Conference kicks off in Beijing. It mentioned that the 2025 World Robot Conference (WRC), which kicked off on Friday in Beijing, unveiled future development trends of embodied intelligent robots, focusing on fields such as cognition, decision-making and safety.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the event, with a record number of participating companies and international supporting institutions. The conference has become a key barometer for the global robotics industry. Under the theme “Making Robots Smarter, Embodied Agents More Intelligent,” the 2025 WRC showcases more than 1,500 cutting-edge products from about 200 domestic and international robotics companies, the agency stated.

Scientists should develop robotic technologies without prioritizing the interests of any one group or nation, but rather for the benefit of all humanity. Robots that assist daily life and various activities should be invented and produced to make life more convenient and smooth for everyone. Building on existing technologies, more advanced innovations should be created with the help of robots. Only then can humanity worldwide experience peaceful, prosperous, and positive outcomes.

Efforts in this event showcased the advancement of innovative skills and the creativity of humans in the science arena. Advancement of science and technology in the robotics sector indicates a crucial role of robots in the daily routine of different communities, as the capacity of robots is reliable day by day. No one can deny that the usefulness of robots has rapidly developed and expanded, whether they are used for the benefit of human society or in less favourable contexts.
As the saying “Robots are tools” goes, no matter how advanced and useful robots become, their influence and excessive reliance on them should be avoided. Although AI technologies will continue to develop remarkably in the use of robots, the role of humans, the creators and inventors of these robots, should never be forgotten. Due to the advancement of technology, while using robots, humans must always retain the ability to control them and keep that power firmly in their own hands.
Robots were originally invented to be tools that serve human society. If robots are used to cause harm, danger, or suffering, or bring no benefit to others, the human world will not be peaceful. The original purpose will only be fulfilled when robots are used effectively for the benefit of all humanity. Everyone should participate in using robots beneficially in various sectors to create advanced and prosperous human communities that serve the interests of all people.
Scientists should develop robotic technologies without prioritizing the interests of any one group or nation, but rather for the benefit of all humanity. Robots that assist daily life and various activities should be invented and produced to make life more convenient and smooth for everyone.
