Genuine POV : no matter who wins
Indian MIC is winning anyways because after 4 years this “process” will move forward
The AMCA bids have opened, and there is some initial chatter suggesting a positive development. However, the consortium details are expected to become clear by tonight (officially- Source based info is available). I would prefer to wait for official clarity before commenting or drawing any conclusions.

Hormuz, the world's busiest oil route, was disrupted. India imports most of its crude, so that's a national security problem.
Fuel kept flowing. Refining depth helped, and the country's largest complex is Reliance's. Its oil and chemicals arm earned ₹25,203 crore in operating profit, up 67.9%, over ₹270 crore a day during a global energy shock.
Strategic autonomy in action 🙌

Colonel Birdie— a core member of the secret TSD spy unit retired from the Indian Army. He was the last serving officer from the unit which helped strengthen India’s fight against the terrorism from Pakistan post 26/11 attacks. Despite the sufferings, always a true patriot .. you are a real hero brother. Thanks for your services to the country. Wish you a greater second innings 👍👍

We questioned what was actually aboard EOS-05. Then we took those questions to ISRO through RTI.
Our original article flagged that the widely repeated instrument specifications belonged to the lost EOS-03 / GISAT-1. Had the payload changed? We explicitly raised added thermal capability as one possibility.
ISRO’s reply now confirms: EOS-05 carries a six-band long-wave infrared imager that EOS-03 did not have with 1,180 m resolution and a 378 km swath.
This establishes an important difference between the two spacecraft: EOS-05 has thermal imaging capability that extends observation beyond daylight.
It also corrects our earlier article’s statement that EOS-05 had no thermal band.
Beyond that confirmation, our RTI obtained detailed payload specifications, swath widths, propellant mass, design life and power figures. Some questions remain unanswered.
From the uncertainties we flagged to the answers ISRO provided read our full breakdown and the RTI reply:
