Foreign exchange reserves rose as foreign currency assets, gold holdings, Special Drawing Rights and IMF reserve position increased.
India's foreign exchange reserves increased during the week ended July 31, principally because of higher foreign currency assets and gold reserves. Foreign currency assets include US dollar valuation effects arising from movements in currencies such as the euro, pound and yen. Special Drawing Rights and India's reserve position with the International Monetary Fund also increased. The movement followed measures to attract foreign exchange inflows, including an FCNR(B) measure, after earlier reserve declines associated with rupee pressure and dollar sales for foreign exchange market intervention.

Cross-border smuggling controls target narcotics, poppy seeds and areca nuts entering through the Indo-Myanmar border region.
Cross-border smuggling enforcement targeted methamphetamine, foreign-origin poppy seeds and areca nuts allegedly brought from Myanmar. Methamphetamine concealed in an ambulance was seized under the NDPS Act, 1985. Poppy seeds and areca nuts recovered in separate operations were seized under the Customs Act, 1962. Poppy-seed imports are restricted to designated countries and require registration to ensure traceability and prevent illicit produce entering legitimate supply chains. The enforcement action addresses circumvention of customs controls and regulated import requirements.

Direct benefit transfer for welfare pensions replaces cooperative-bank doorstep delivery, while retaining limited home service for excluded beneficiaries.
Direct Benefit Transfer for social security and welfare pensions is to be made through Aadhaar-linked bank accounts, replacing cooperative-bank doorstep delivery. Home delivery remains available for bedridden persons and others who cannot be excluded. The change is associated with delays in remitting undistributed amounts, record-update failures, reconciliation issues, duplicate payments, and incomplete Aadhaar-based payment implementation. Concerns have been raised that mandatory bank-account credit may disadvantage beneficiaries dependent on doorstep delivery.

Direct Benefit Transfer of social security and welfare pensions is to be made mandatory through Aadhaar-linked bank accounts, replacing cooperative-bank doorstep distribution. Home delivery continues for completely bedridden beneficiaries and others who cannot be excluded. The change addresses delays in remitting undistributed amounts, record-update and reconciliation deficiencies, duplicate payments linked to incomplete Aadhaar-based payments, delivery incentive costs, and the need to comply with Direct Benefit Transfer norms to avoid loss of central financial assistance.

Device-based loan recovery restrictions protect essential mobile functions while permitting gradual locking only for lender-financed devices.
Technology-based recovery mechanisms cannot restrict or disable a borrower's mobile device unless the bank financed acquisition of that device. Where permitted, banks must adopt a gradual approach and preserve essential functions, including incoming calls, SMS access, and emergency SOS features. Regulated entities and service providers must obtain manufacturer or operating-system certification for device-locking technology. Disclosure of borrower or guarantor information to recovery personnel must be limited to what is necessary for loan-recovery duties.

Bilateral trade agreement negotiations should secure tariff certainty, protect key exports, strengthen supply chains, and support vulnerable small industries.
An early Bilateral Trade Agreement is proposed to protect Indian interests, secure tariff exemptions for key exports, reduce barriers affecting industrial products, and create predictable trade conditions. Recommended measures include financial and export-credit support for small industries, real-time monitoring of customs requirements, documentation assistance, and timely policy support against tariff and non-tariff barriers. Export strategy should develop knowledge services and critical supply-chain integration, while a National Fund should assist suppliers with redesign, tooling, certification and entry into new global supply chains.

Ethanol imports for fuel blending remain excluded from trade commitments, with domestic producers continuing to supply the blending programme.
Ethanol imports for fuel blending remain outside concessions or commitments in India-US trade discussions. Under the Ethanol Blended with Petrol Programme, ethanol procurement is governed solely by domestic policy requirements and is sourced entirely from domestic producers. Claims of existing or intended large-scale ethanol imports from the United States for fuel blending, or of a policy change permitting them, are stated to be baseless.

Domestic ethanol sourcing for fuel blending continues unchanged, with no import commitments or concessions involving United States ethanol.
Ethanol used for fuel blending under the Ethanol Blended with Petrol Programme is sourced entirely from domestic producers, with no imports from the United States for that purpose. No concessions or commitments on importing United States ethanol for fuel blending have been made in trade discussions. Fuel blending and ethanol procurement continue to be governed solely by domestic policy requirements, and claims of a policy change allowing large-scale imports are incorrect.

The submission before the Standing Advisory Committee emphasised absorption of bumper jute output, remunerative prices for cultivators, uninterrupted mill operations, and protection of farm and worker livelihoods. It also stressed that biodegradable jute bags offer an environmentally friendly alternative to HDPE and polypropylene woven sacks, and that dilution of compulsory packaging could undermine plastic-pollution reduction efforts.

Setting Up of Industries

Planning Commission set up an Inter-Ministerial Task Group for Redressal of Growing Regional Imbalances in August 2004. The Task Group identified 170 districts on 17 chosen parameters for backwardness including preponderance of agricultural labourers in the population, per capita credit-deposits, infrastructure and institutional facilities and percentage of Scheduled caste and Scheduled Tribe as overall proxy for regional backwardness. The Backward Regions Grant Fund (BRGF) was launched in August 2006. The programme covering 272 districts continued during the 11th Five Year Plan.  As exercise is being undertaken to restructure BRGF including identification of backward areas for the 12th Five Year Plan. No study has been conducted to identify industrially backward region of the States for their development.

State-wise details of industries set up  as reflected in Industrial Investment Intentions in terms of IEMs filed, Letters of Intent Issued and Direct Industrial Licence granted during the last three years in the country is at Annexure 1(A&B).

 Details of financial Assistance provided under Central Capital Investment Subsidy scheme, Central Interest Subsidy Scheme and Central Comprehensive Insurance Scheme  to the Special Category States of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh  and Utarakhand are in Annexure 2. From 2002-03 to 2011-12, employment generated was 68,393 in Jammu & Kashmir, 1,05,452 in Himachal Pradesh  and 3,18,890 in Utarakhand. Requests from other states have been received for similar packages, but it has been the consistent stand of the Government not to announce any fresh package in view of the fact that the above mentioned special category States have adverse geographical locations due to hilly and remote terrain and other specifications. There is no proposal to extend any such incentives to other States.
