    PM urges farmers to adopt 'chemical-free farming' to tap rising global demand for such food items
    Show AI Summary
    Chemical-free farming can strengthen agricultural exports by meeting global standards and responding to rising international demand.
    Chemical-free farming is urged to meet growing global demand and expand agricultural exports. Agricultural products must meet global parameters to facilitate access to international markets, including markets opened through free trade agreements. Food processing, export-oriented farm production, and global branding of traditional cuisine, millets, spices, fruits and flowers are identified as important elements of agriculture and food production policy.

    Show AI Summary
    Voluntary foreign asset disclosure allows eligible taxpayers to regularise overseas holdings with immunity from further tax, penalties and prosecution.

    Need one or two Indian pharma firms to be among global top 5: PM Modi
    Show AI Summary
    Global pharmaceutical leadership is urged through Indian firms achieving top-five status, supported by generic manufacturing and export capacity.
    Indian pharmaceutical companies are urged to attain representation among the world's five leading pharmaceutical firms, despite India's established position as a major producer of generic medicines. India has a broad manufacturing base, supplies generic medicines across numerous therapeutic categories, and exports to worldwide markets including highly regulated jurisdictions. Although pharmaceutical exports and the domestic market have expanded, Indian firms have not yet secured positions among the largest global companies. Greater international scale may be supported through acquisitions and expanded established-brand and branded-generic operations.

    Show AI Summary
    Free trade agreement opportunities require MSMEs to meet global standards and expand exports across textiles, machinery, medicines and seafood.
    Free trade agreements are presented as export-market opportunities for Indian MSMEs because they reduce or eliminate import duties on a substantial range of traded goods.

    Govt cuts windfall gains tax on petrol, diesel, ATF exports
    Show AI Summary
    Windfall gains tax on petroleum exports was reduced to support domestic fuel availability and limit export price advantages.
    Special additional excise duty (windfall gains tax) on exports of petrol, diesel and aviation turbine fuel was reduced from 15 August 2026. Petrol export duty was reduced to nil, and export-duty rates on diesel and ATF were lowered. Duty rates for petrol and diesel cleared for domestic consumption remained unchanged. The export-duty framework seeks to maintain domestic petroleum-product availability and limit export advantages arising from higher global crude oil prices amid West Asia tensions.

    Modi warns of weaponisation of resources, sea routes; urges energy self-reliance
    Show AI Summary
    Energy self-reliance drives diversified fuel sourcing, expanded offshore exploration, and domestic capacity to reduce geopolitical supply vulnerability.
    Energy security policy seeks to reduce exposure to geopolitical pressure and supply disruption caused by dependence on overseas fuel and strategic maritime routes. India is diversifying crude oil and LNG sourcing while strengthening domestic hydrocarbon production through offshore exploration, seismic surveys, exploratory drilling and shared infrastructure. Expanded access to sedimentary basins is intended to unlock domestic oil and gas resources. Wider piped natural gas coverage, solar generation, critical-mineral exploration, and nuclear and other non-fossil energy sources support the broader objective of energy self-reliance.

    Current account deficit widens to USD 6.2 bn in Jun: RBI data
    Show AI Summary
    Current account deficit widened as merchandise trade imbalance expanded, despite stronger services surplus, transfers, and positive capital inflows.
    India's current account deficit widened in June 2026, principally because merchandise imports increased faster than exports and expanded the merchandise trade deficit. A higher services surplus, increased net transfers and a narrower net income deficit provided partial offsets. Net capital inflows, including foreign direct investment and foreign portfolio investment, supported a positive overall monthly balance. During the April-June quarter, despite increased services surplus and net transfers, the overall balance shifted to a deficit as the merchandise trade deficit widened.

    WPI inflation eases to 9.78 pc in July on softening in fuel prices
    Show AI Summary
    Wholesale price inflation moderation was driven by softer fuel prices, while manufactured goods and primary articles recorded higher inflation.
    Wholesale price inflation moderated in July, led by a decline in fuel and power inflation and a marginal easing in food-article inflation. Inflation in manufactured products and primary articles increased, making the moderation uneven across groups. Mineral oils, food articles, basic metals, non-food articles, food products, and chemical products remained significant inflation drivers. The output Producer Price Index remained unchanged year-on-year, with lower manufacturing and mining inflation offset by higher agriculture and electricity producer-price inflation.

      (Source: - Reply submitted by Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance, Shri S.S. Palanimanickam in the RAJYA SABHA on 21-8-2007 to a question raised by Shri Naresh Gujaral)

      The scheme of exemption from taxes is working fine in the state of J&K and HP. But the same scheme failed to generate more employment in the state of Uttrakhand.

      We hope that Government may take the following steps to ensure that the above data is correct and the scheme is not being misused:

      -  Verify the number of employees registered with the department of PF / ESI before announcement of these schemes and thereafter.

      -  Verify the number of dummy units working into these areas.

      -  Find the reason of less yield in terms of generation of employment in the state of Uttrakhand
