Rising oil and gasoline prices after disruption to Middle East supply routes have led governments to deploy emergency reserves, sanctions waivers, and shipping measures to add oil to the market.

Analysts emphasize that resumption of transit is the most important step to restore stable oil and gas flows, and note that U.S. production and refinery constraints limit the effect of short-term fixes.

Further, from 2020 onwards, around Rs. 2,995 crore have been invested in women-led startups by AIFs under the Scheme, as on 31st January 2026.

SISFS provides financial assistance to seed stage startups through incubators. SISFS is implemented from 1st April 2021. As on 31st January 2026, selected incubators under the Scheme have approved funding of around Rs. 592 crore to selected startups, of which funds of around Rs. 294 crore have been approved to women-led startups.

CGSS is implemented for enabling debt funding to startups through eligible financial institutions.
