    Global imbalances and multilateral cooperation require stronger development finance, resilient supply chains, and fairer burden sharing.
    Global growth requires coordinated action through strengthened multilateral cooperation, with particular attention to the disproportionate effects of conflicts, uncertainty and global imbalances on developing countries and the Global South. Policy responses should focus on excessive and persistent imbalances while recognising differing domestic needs across countries, and adjustment burdens should not fall on countries that are not the source of such imbalances. Stronger and more representative multilateral institutions, including Multilateral Development Banks with greater financing capacity, and resilient, diversified supply chains are needed.

    Growth outlook for India moderates as higher energy costs weigh on demand, while tax cuts and trade support aid recovery.

Goods and Services Tax rate reductions are expected to support consumer demand, while fuel tax reductions and other measures have been used to ease price pressures.

    Public banking sovereignty concerns arise over the proposed privatisation of IDBI Bank and its wider social impact.
    Concern is expressed over the proposed strategic disinvestment and transfer of management control of IDBI Bank to the private sector, on the footing that the move implicates financial sovereignty, depositor confidence, social justice and the public character of banking. The note refers to the bank's origin as a development financial institution, its role in India's financial architecture, and the assurance that government ownership would not fall below 51 per cent, together with parliamentary caution against dilution of that level of control. Concern is also raised over the possible transfer of valuable land and other assets, the impact on employees, and the wider trend of foreign participation in Indian banking.

    The Enforcement Directorate proposed to challenge a Delhi High Court order quashing money laundering proceedings against NewsClick and its editor-in-chief after the predicate FIR was set aside.

The ED also said the quashing stage required only a prima facie view on whether the allegations disclosed an offence.

    Excise duty exemption on higher ethanol-petrol blends expands, paving the way for future ethanol fuel adoption.
    Excise duty exemption has been extended to higher ethanol-petrol blends, with duty reduced to nil on petrol containing 22 per cent, 25 per cent, 27 per cent and 30 per cent ethanol. The extension broadens the earlier waiver for blends of up to 20 per cent ethanol and reflects the view that blending ethanol with petrol at fuel depots is a manufacturing activity that would otherwise attract excise duty. The measure is a preparatory regulatory step for any future introduction of higher ethanol-content fuels.

    Rupee weakness deepens as crude prices, foreign outflows and a firmer dollar pressure the local currency.
    The rupee weakened in early trade against the US dollar amid higher global crude oil prices, continued hostilities between the US and Iran, heavy foreign institutional investor outflows, and a soft domestic equity market. The local currency was also weighed down by a marginally stronger dollar index and remained sensitive to risk sentiment and external macroeconomic cues. RBI-linked dollar selling had earlier supported the rupee, while intervention was likely aimed at curbing excessive volatility and preventing a sharper slide.

      While most AI in financial services remains advisory, LUMIQ has built the layer that owns the decision — autonomous, auditable AI agents making regulated calls in production at leading banks, insurers, and capital markets firms. Today, LUMIQ serves clients across India, the United States, and Southeast Asia — leading institutions across insurance, banking, and capital markets.
      NEW DELHI and MUMBAI, India, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LUMIQ, an AI-native financial services company, today announced a strategic funding round to scale auto-decisioning for financial institutions across the United States and Southeast Asia. The round was led by Bajaj Finserv, one of India's largest and most diversified financial services groups, with participation from existing investor Info Edge Ventures.




      Right now, thousands of customers are waiting for a policy to be issued, a loan to be disbursed, a claim to be adjudicated, because somewhere an FSI employee is drowning in decisions, held back by the risk of getting it wrong. Today, when e-commerce delivers the same day, banks and insurers still decide in weeks. We built LiteCone to take that burden: AI decides the routine cases, completely and accountably, so humans spend their judgment on the one case that actually needs it. This round lets us bring that to every financial institution in the markets that matter most.

      Shoaib Mohammad, Co-founder and CEO, LUMIQ
      From AI that assists to AI that decides
      For decades, financial institutions have bought technology that made their people faster — faster data, faster scoring, faster copilots. The decision still landed on a human. LUMIQ is changing that. Through its LiteCone platform, the company deploys AI agents that read the file, apply the institution's own guidelines, and reach the decision end to end — escalating only the cases that genuinely require human judgment. The output is not a recommendation. It is a decision, with full reasoning attached, cross-referenced to policy, and defensible under audit.


      The results in production speak clearly. At a leading life insurer, LUMIQ's LEO agent decides 75–80% of underwriting cases with zero human touch, reduced policy issuance cost by roughly 25%, and compressed turnaround from days to under eight minutes — running 24x7 with complete auditability. Across its client base spanning insurance, banking, and capital markets in India, the US, and Southeast Asia, LUMIQ now processes millions of decisions annually.


      LiteCone turns a real financial-services role into a working AI agent in weeks. Every agent we deploy is consistent, explainable, compliant, and auditable by design — not as an afterthought. This capital lets us go deeper on the platform and broader across roles. And through our cloud and AI lab partnerships, institutions will increasingly find LiteCone already embedded in the platforms they run today.

      Vaibhav Dobriyal, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, LUMIQ
      This round funds four priorities: expanding go-to-market in the US and Southeast Asia; deepening LiteCone's decisioning capabilities; extending the agent workforce across more financial-services roles; and building a partnership ecosystem with cloud hyperscalers, AI labs, and core banking and insurance platforms so LiteCone is embedded where institutions already run.


      LUMIQ's investors backed the round for the same reason its customers adopt LiteCone: agents already deciding in production, with auditability and control built in.


      As a financial-services group, we know how much rests on getting regulated decisions right, at speed and at scale. LUMIQ has built AI agents that decide in production with auditability and control built in, the capability the industry has been moving toward. We are proud to lead this round and to support the team's expansion across the US and Southeast Asia.

      Lakshmi Iyer, Group President – Investments & CEO, Bajaj Alternates
      Our conviction is grounded in what LUMIQ has already built. Their AI agents aren't just built for the future. They are operating in production today, at speed. This combination is rare, and its value will only compound as the company scales globally.

      Girish Jhunjhunwala, Fund Manager – PE and VC Investments, Bajaj Alternates
      Financial services is one of the hardest categories to crack — regulated, risk-averse, and unforgiving of hype. LUMIQ has put agentic AI into live financial-services workflows and earned the trust of large institutions across the US, Southeast Asia and India. That is how a category-defining company in financial-services AI gets built, and we are proud to keep backing the team as they scale globally.

      Kitty Agarwal, Partner, Info Edge Ventures
      LUMIQ's goal is to lead one category: auto-decisioning at production scale for financial services. Agents that act, not assist, and never compromise audit, compliance, or predictability.


      About LUMIQ
      LUMIQ is an AI-native financial services company. Through its LiteCone platform and a growing workforce of production AI agents, LUMIQ turns real financial-services roles — insurance underwriter, credit underwriter, claims adjudicator — into agents that are consistent, explainable, compliant, and auditable. The company pairs deep domain expertise across banking, insurance, and capital markets with frontier AI. LUMIQ employs over 350 AI and data specialists, and has offices in New Jersey, Singapore, and Delhi NCR (India).
