Preference for domestic satellites in direct-to-home television services, restrictions on direct foreign contracting, and procedural delays in accessing foreign satellite capacity are described as barriers to foreign trade. The report also urges an open skies satellite policy to expand market access.

Sanctions waiver revives Iranian crude trade as a cargo heads to Gujarat amid refinery inventory pressures.
India's crude oil trade may see a renewed shipment of Iranian oil after a sanctions waiver allowed oil "on the water" to be purchased for a limited period. A vessel carrying about 600,000 barrels of Iranian crude has reportedly been observed heading toward Vadinar in Gujarat, marking the first such delivery since imports stopped in 2019 after sanctions tightening. The development is linked to Indian refiners' need for cargoes amid tightening inventories, while the government has stated that any resumption of purchases will depend on techno-commercial feasibility.

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.
