GI-tagged agricultural exports expand farmer access to international markets through FPO-led value chains and higher price realisation.
APEDA facilitated the export of a one-metric-tonne consignment of GI-tagged Gulbarga Tur Dal from Karnataka to the Maldives through an FPO-led brand. Gulbarga Tur Dal has held GI registration since 2019. The export-linked channel provides farmers a realisation of Rs.82 per kg compared with a prevailing market price of Rs.60 per kg, while supporting closer integration of FPOs and farmers into export-oriented supply chains.

Gold smuggling through powdered gold concealed in food products led to seizure and arrests under customs law.
Intelligence-led interception and baggage examination identified foreign-origin gold converted into fine powder and mixed with packaged food products of similar colour, texture and consistency. Segregation and assaying yielded 9.40 kg foreign-origin gold, which was seized under the Customs Act, 1962. Questioning linked the passengers to the same organised gold-smuggling syndicate, and they were arrested under that Act.

Customs seizure of suspected smuggled areca nuts and restricted poppy seeds followed intelligence-led cross-border enforcement operations.
Intelligence-led customs enforcement in Mizoram and Assam resulted in seizure, under the Customs Act, 1962, of suspected foreign-origin areca nuts and poppy seeds believed on preliminary inquiry to have been smuggled from Myanmar. Searches of locked, unattended godowns near the Indo-Myanmar border recovered the commodities, while interception of two trucks carrying poppy seeds without valid import documents led to seizure of the consignments and vehicles. Four persons connected with transportation of the poppy seeds were arrested.

Foreign exchange reserve composition reflects a weekly decline driven by foreign currency assets despite a modest gold increase.
India's foreign exchange reserves declined by USD 14.881 billion to USD 765.901 billion for the week ended 18 September 2026. The contraction was principally driven by a reduction in foreign currency assets, which also reflect valuation effects from movements in non-US reserve currencies. Gold reserves increased, while Special Drawing Rights decreased and the reserve position with the International Monetary Fund remained reported separately.

Alternative fuel transition promotes ethanol, electric and hydrogen mobility to reduce imports, pollution, and strengthen farm income.
Alternative-fuel and public-transport measures seek to reduce dependence on imported petroleum, curb air pollution, and support farmer income and employment. Ethanol is positioned as a farm-income source through increased demand and returns for maize growers, alongside electricity, hydrogen and waste-derived CNG. Development and introduction of flex-fuel vehicles, using engines capable of operating on ethanol, electric tractors, hydrogen-powered vehicles and hydrogen buses form part of a cleaner-mobility strategy.

Foreign-exchange market intervention expectations supported rupee appreciation amid improved risk sentiment, while importer demand and crude prices constrained gains.
Foreign-exchange market conditions supported a 19-paise appreciation of the rupee to 95.80 against the US dollar, aided by improved global risk sentiment and expectations of Reserve Bank intervention. Dollar demand from importers, high crude prices and US dollar strength constrained gains. Lower crude prices and dollar weakness could support the rupee, while geopolitical escalation may create pressure. Market participants expected intervention if the currency weakened toward 96.

Credit health assessment combines score, repayment history, utilisation, accounts and enquiries to support informed borrowing and profile monitoring.
Credit health is broader than a numerical credit score and encompasses the way credit has been managed over time. Credit analysis requires a combined review of the score, repayment history, credit accounts, credit utilisation, credit history and credit enquiries. A credit report may identify management of EMIs and credit-card dues, existing borrowing obligations, use of revolving credit relative to available limits, and recent lender checks associated with credit applications. Incorrect or unfamiliar entries may be reviewed and, where necessary, raised with the relevant lender or credit bureau.

Fuel-price mitigation measures use tax reductions, targeted subsidies and energy-security policies to ease pressure on households and energy-intensive industries.
European fuel-price intervention combines targeted subsidies, fuel-tax reductions, temporary regulatory flexibilities and energy-security investment to moderate the economic effects of sharply higher gasoline and diesel prices caused by disrupted supplies. Member States have temporary discretion to grant state aid to households and energy-intensive sectors, including agriculture, transport and fishing, and limited flexibility under EU spending rules for investments that improve energy security and reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels.

Digital warehousing controls propose electronic tracking, secure transport, monthly returns, and risk-based compliance verification for warehoused goods.
Draft Warehousing Operations Regulations, 2026 would require public and private warehouse licensees to use the electronic portal and a digital warehouse management system for receipt, storage, transfers, removals and accounting of warehoused goods. Transport would generally require a one-time-lock and transit-risk insurance, subject to specified exemptions. Licensees would verify locks and goods, report discrepancies, maintain auditable electronic records, submit monthly returns, and permit removals for home consumption or export only upon electronic clearance orders. Non-confirmation, discrepancies and contraventions would trigger information demands, risk-based verification and action under the Customs Act.

Technology risk governance requires banks to retain accountability, test resilience, and govern artificial intelligence before scaling financial services.
Technology risk governance must treat technology architecture as a first-order enterprise risk, alongside conventional financial risks, because the availability and integrity of core banking, payments, onboarding, credit, fraud-monitoring and reporting systems determine whether customers can access essential financial services. Banks may outsource technology functions but retain accountability for access controls, concentration, recoverability, data protection and exit options. Effective resilience requires secure architecture, asset visibility, timely remediation of vulnerabilities and legacy systems, identity and access management, effective controls, third-party oversight, post-incident learning, and regular recovery testing.

Performance of Special Purpose Vehicles for Implementation of 39 Projects

Print

The overall performance and achievement of the Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) for implementation of 39 projects sanctioned during the Tenth and Eleventh Five Year Plan Periods are quite satisfactory.  Out of 39 projects sanctioned in the 10th and 11th Five Year Plan periods under Industrial Infrastructure Upgradation Scheme (IIUS), 21 projects have been completed and the remaining are at various stages of implementation.  Sanction has been withdrawn in respect of two projects as these projects could not start implementation activities in more than two years despite efforts made by this department.

Most of the projects have been delayed on account of land related issues and environment clearance. Some projects have also been delayed on account of shortfall in contributions from Industrial stakeholders and State Governments.

The latest independent evaluation of the Scheme was carried out in December 2011 by National Productivity Council (NPC). The findings of the Evaluation Study of NPC indicate that the Scheme has provided a robust platform for development of common facilities like R&D labs, Skill Upgradation Centre, Common Tool Rooms, Prototyping Centres, Effluent Treatment Plants and basic infrastructure (road, water, supply, power, etc.) which are essential for the clusters. Majority of these clusters belong to Small and Medium Enterprises who have taken up green initiatives and components to curb pollution.

The project-wise complete list of projects sanctioned and fund generated of 37 projects is at Appendix-I.

The IIUS has been revised as ‘Modified Industrial Infrastructure Upgradation Scheme (MIIUS)’ for taking up new projects in the 12th Five Year Plan Period and under this scheme only State Implementing Agency (SIA) such as State Industrial Development Corporation, is authorised to implement the project.  Due to modification in the scheme, projects in the 12th Plan Period cannot be undertaken by SPV or Special Purpose Entity (SPE), however new projects have been undertaken through SIA. 

The details of projects sanctioned along with fund earmarked for different State Implementing Agencies are at Appendix-II.
