Foreign Trade Policy amendments facilitate export invoicing and receipt of payments in Indian rupees.

Mission SAKSHAM: Scaling Capability through Co-operation - Keynote Address by Shri Swaminathan J, Deputy Governor at Mission SAKSHAM Programme for Directors, MDs and CEOs of Urban Co-operative Banks in Telangana, Hyderabad on August 7, 2026
Show AI Summary
Technology risk oversight requires Urban Co-operative Banks to retain accountability while building shared and role-specific capabilities.
Urban Co-operative Banks must strengthen digital and risk-management capabilities as technology dependence exposes them to cyber threats, fraud, service-provider failures and common-platform vulnerabilities. Outsourcing critical systems does not transfer the bank's responsibility for oversight, safeguards and continuity. Boards and senior management must retain sufficient knowledge to supervise external providers effectively. Mission SAKSHAM supports role-specific, continuous capability building through physical and online learning, while collective infrastructure and shared expertise can supplement individual institutional capacity.

Show AI Summary
Foreign exchange market modernisation prioritises delegated decisions, customer transparency, digital workflows, local-currency settlement and accountable risk management.
Foreign exchange market modernisation advances a facilitative, principles-based framework based on delegated decision-making by Authorised Dealers, risk-based reporting, and customer-centric service standards. Authorised Dealers must apply clear internal policies, avoid unnecessary documentation, disclose charges, timelines and grievance mechanisms, and ensure consistent treatment of comparable transactions. Local-currency settlement requires viable trade corridors, competitive hedging, correspondent relationships and robust AML/CFT controls. Digital workflows, electronic trading and reporting infrastructure should improve transparency and resilience, while automated tools remain subject to explainability, review and data-protection safeguards.

Govt rejects ethanol link to sugar price surge, says duty free imports allowed to curb prices
Show AI Summary
Sugar price containment measures restrict stockholding, permit duty-free imports, and strengthen inventory verification to deter hoarding.
Sugar price containment measures include stock limits for dealers, consumption-based inventory restrictions for bulk consumers, duty-free raw sugar imports, and physical verification of mill stocks to prevent hoarding and artificial scarcity. Price increases are attributed to lower domestic output, festive demand, crop damage, tighter global supplies, and speculation rather than sugar diversion for ethanol. Earlier crushing is advised to improve seasonal availability, while the ethanol programme supports management of sugar surpluses, mill liquidity, and timely sugarcane payments.

China moves to wrap up saga of troubled property giant Evergrande after founder gets life sentence
Show AI Summary
Cross-border insolvency enforcement constrains asset recovery as Evergrande liquidation, founder asset confiscation, and audit-related claims continue.
Evergrande's insolvency process involves liquidation proceedings for its mainland property-development unit and its Hong Kong-listed holding company. Cross-border recovery is constrained by separate Hong Kong and mainland China legal systems, particularly because most operational assets are located in mainland China. Liquidators are pursuing asset-tracing and recovery measures against the founder and connected persons, as well as claims concerning pre-collapse audits. Investigations identified revenue overstatement through manipulated financial data. Creditor recoveries are expected to be limited due to substantial liabilities and constraints on asset realisation.

Foreign exchange reserves rose through higher currency assets and gold holdings amid measures to attract external forex inflows.
India's foreign exchange reserves increased during the reporting week, led by higher foreign currency assets and gold reserves. Foreign currency assets include the dollar-value effects of movements in non-US currencies held as reserves. Special drawing rights declined marginally, while the reserve position with the International Monetary Fund increased marginally. Concessional swap arrangements formed part of measures to attract foreign-exchange inflows, while earlier reserve movements were linked to rupee pressure and dollar-sale intervention in the foreign-exchange market.

Bengaluru airport: AERA slashes user development fee to Rs 300 for domestic passengers
Show AI Summary
Incremental tariff recovery aligns airport user charges with completed infrastructure, preventing passengers from funding non-operational capital projects prematurely.
User development fees and airport tariffs for Bengaluru International Airport have been revised for the April 2026 to March 2031 control period. The incremental Average Revenue Requirement framework excludes costs of identified high-value capital projects from tariffs until the relevant assets are completed, commissioned and available for users. Incremental tariff recovery may begin only upon operational availability, aligning charges with infrastructure use, reducing premature recovery risk for passengers and airlines, and encouraging timely completion of major capital works.

ED can't add old FIR to Enforcement Case Information Report to sustain PMLA proceedings: Delhi HC
Show AI Summary
Predicate-offence dependency limits retrospective addition of old FIRs to preserve money-laundering proceedings after the original scheduled offence is closed.
Predicate-offence dependency under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act requires an ECIR to rest on a subsisting scheduled offence. Closure of the FIR forming its basis through an accepted cancellation report prevents continuation of money-laundering proceedings unless that closure is overturned. A previously registered FIR cannot be belatedly added merely to preserve an existing ECIR and coercive powers. Where statutory requirements are met, an independently registered ECIR may be required. Expansion of an ECIR cannot rest solely on tenuous factual links between successive disputes.

PAIMANA Portal tracks 1,775 Infrastructure Projects worth ₹37.11 lakh crore as of July 2026

The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) continues to strengthen monitoring of Central Sector infrastructure projects through its PAIMANA platform, enabling improved tracking, timely reviews, and data-driven decision-making across Ministries. The portal tracks 1,775 Infrastructure Projects worth of ₹37.11 lakh crore as of July 2026.

Key Highlights

  • As of July 2026, 1,775 ongoing infrastructure projects, with a total revised cost of ₹37.11 lakh crore, are being monitored across 17 Central Ministries/Departments. The cumulative expenditure incurred on these projects stands at ₹19.26 lakh crore, accounting for approximately 51.91 per cent of the revised project cost, indicating steady progress in project implementation.
  • A significant proportion of projects are at advanced stages, with 675 projects (~38%) achieving over 80% physical progress, while 305 (~17%) have crossed 80% financial completion. The data also reflects a balanced pipeline, with projects distributed across early and advanced stages of implementation.
  • The Transport & Logistics sector (as per the DEA’s Harmonized Master List) accounts for the highest number of ongoing projects (1246 projects), with revised estimates of ₹19.81 lakh crore underscoring priority to connectivity-driven infrastructure growth.
  • 1,775 ongoing infrastructure projects include 735 Mega projects (project cost of ₹1,000 crore & above) with an original cost of ₹28.77 lakh crore, and 1,040 Major projects (project cost below ₹1,000 crore and up to ₹150 crore) amounting to ₹4.93 lakh crore.
  • Physical and financial progress broadly move in tandem, with a large number of projects clustered at the initial (0–20%) and advanced (81–100%) stages, indicating a pipeline of newly-started projects alongside many nearing completions. While physical progress exceeds financial progress in the 81–100% range, financial progress is relatively higher in the early stages, reflecting upfront expenditure patterns in project implementation.

2.   Ministry/ Departments-wise progress of Infrastructure Projects

  • The remaining 182 projects (10%), with a total revised cost of ₹2.78 lakh crore (8%), are distributed across various Ministries/Departments including Higher Education, Civil Aviation, Steel, Telecommunications, Labour & Employment, Ports, Shipping & Waterways, Health & Family Welfare, Mines, DPIIT, and Sports. (Refer Annexure I)

3.   Sector-wise (as per DEA’s Harmonized Master List of Infrastructure) Progress of Infrastructure Projects

  • Transport & Logistics remains the dominant sector, accounting for 53% of total revised project cost (₹19.81 lakh crore) across 1,246 projects (70% of the total Projects), underscoring the central role of Roads & Highways, Railways, Aviation, Urban Public Transport, Shipping, and Inland Waterways in economic integration and logistics efficiency.
  • The Energy sector follows with 29% of aggregated revised cost (₹10.66 lakh crore) across 205 projects, reflecting sustained emphasis on Oil & Gas infrastructure, electricity generation, transmission and distribution networks, and energy storage systems.
  • Communication infrastructure, with a project cost of ₹1.34 lakh crore (4%) across 31 projects, represents targeted interventions aimed at strengthening digital connectivity.
  • Water & Sanitation projects account for ₹2.05 lakh crore (5%) across 53 projects, highlighting continued focus on essential urban services.
  • Social & Commercial infrastructure, comprising 91 projects with a revised project cost of ₹0.99 lakh crore (3%), reflects selective investments in education, healthcare, real estate, and tourism, hospitality and wellness.
