India and the UK today reviewed progress on developing a next-generation engine for warships, known as the “electric propulsion” system. This new technology is quieter and more efficient compared to traditional diesel or gas-powered engines.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held a telephonic conversation with his UK counterpart John Healey on Thursday. According to the Ministry of Defence, “They reviewed the excellent progress made between the two countries in niche defence technology areas such as electric propulsion and jet engines.”

In November 2022, the two nations signed a ‘Statement of Intent on Electric Propulsion’, establishing a framework for collaboration in co-designing, co-creating and co-producing electric propulsion systems for future naval ships.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
