Rupee exchange-rate movements face pressure from elevated crude prices and equity outflows, moderated by possible central-bank intervention.
Rupee exchange-rate movement in early foreign-exchange trading reflected a modest appreciation against the US dollar after depreciation in the preceding session. Possible dollar sales by state-owned banks, widely viewed as central-bank intervention, and a weaker US dollar supported the currency. Elevated crude-oil prices, foreign institutional equity outflows, and negative domestic equity-market sentiment continued to create downside pressure, although expected central-bank support was considered likely to limit losses.

Foreign investment recovery, external trade momentum and inflation developments are examined amid geopolitical and supply-chain uncertainty. Strong export and import growth, the operationalisation of the India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, renewed portfolio inflows and higher foreign direct investment were identified as supporting external-sector confidence. Consumer price inflation increased, led by food and fuel, while core inflation remained unchanged.

Bail cancellation requires harm to criminal justice administration, not merely a legally flawed order granting liberty.
Bail cancellation must turn on whether continued liberty obstructs the administration of criminal justice, not solely on legal error in the order granting bail. A deficient bail order, without more, does not justify revoking liberty. Challenges to bail orders should not displace the objective of timely trials and securing convictions. Although erroneous legal principles may require correction for consistency, they may not alone warrant cancellation of bail. Broader questions concerning the governing cancellation standard remain open.

FDI in Telecom Sector

Composite FDI (Direct + Indirect) in telecom sector is 74%, which is sectoral cap. After increase of FDI limit from 49% to 74% in November 2005, the companies as per list given in the Annexure have utilized increased FDI ceiling for telecom services. In February 2009, the Government has further revised the methodology of calculation of indirect foreign investment, according  to which FDI of less than 50% in investing company is not counted in the licensee company if the investing company is 'owned' and 'controlled' by resident Indian citizens. This change of methodology of calculation of indirect foreign investment from earlier proportionate basis to 'owned' and 'controlled' basis has brought down composite FDI in some of the licensee companies and have given more room to bring in further investment. However, actual foreign investment requirement of a licensee company depends on its business case.
