However, it is being seen as an effort to help strengthen the rupee, which has weakened 6% against the US dollar as foreign portfolio investors have pulled out a record Rs 2.6 lakh crore from equities since Jan.The move is likely part of a coordinated action with Reserve Bank of India, which is expected to announce measures on Friday following the monetary policy committee meeting that began on Wednesday.Govt has been seeking to address concerns of various sectors, through measures such as a govt-guaranteed credit line for businesses and a package for exporters, apart from adjustments in duties, including fuel, to insulate the economy from the impact of the West Asia war.But the slide of the rupee and the constant FPI withdrawal from the market has been an area of concern.In the run-up to the Union budget, representatives of FPIs had sought tax changes, including a review of the capital gains tax regime for listed securities, and argued against levy of capital gains tax and securities transaction tax. Tax experts have said that over the years, govt has increased long-term and short-term capital gains tax, while levying STT, which makes investments in India less attractive.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosBoost For Air Defence: 4th S-400 Squadron ‘Starts Arriving In India From Russia’Pakistan Embarrassed In Japan As ‘Illegal’ Mosque Inaugurated In Presence Of Envoy Faces DemolitionVijay’s TVK Offers Rajya Sabha Seat To Congress Ahead Of June 18 PollFinal 1% Left To Resolve In India-US Trade Deal: US Envoy Sergio GorFirhad Hakim Resigns As Kolkata Mayor, TMC Says Mamata Banerjee ‘Permitted’ HimExpelled TMC Leader Ritabrata Banerjee Appointed LoP, Urges Mamata To Be Rebels’ ‘Chief Advisor”Cease Such Attacks’: India Condemns Kuwait Airport Attack That Killed Indian CitizenHow A Class 12 Student Traced The CBSE-Coempt Tender Trail And Raised Tough QuestionsMamata’s TMC Orders Organisational Reset Amid Growing MLA Revolt Buzz | WatchThe US Just Threatened India With New Tariffs Mid-Negotiation.

He said if even 1% of annual petrol vehicle sales shift to the technology, it would generate demand for four crore litres of ethanol and save Rs 195 crore in foreign exchange each year. Puri also said this would lead to a reduction of approximately 0.3 lakh metric tonnes in crude oil imports and net reduction of nearly 0.9 lakh metric tonnes of CO2 emissions.“Around Rs 160 crore would flow directly to our farmers instead of going out of the country for oil imports,” Puri said, adding that the impact would be significant as flex-fuel technology scales across India’s two-wheeler ecosystem.Transport minister Nitin Gadkari said India, as the world’s largest two-wheeler market, is well-positioned to lead the transition towards flex-fuel mobility and it would reduce emissions by 77%. tnnEnd of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosBoost For Air Defence: 4th S-400 Squadron ‘Starts Arriving In India From Russia’Pakistan Embarrassed In Japan As ‘Illegal’ Mosque Inaugurated In Presence Of Envoy Faces DemolitionVijay’s TVK Offers Rajya Sabha Seat To Congress Ahead Of June 18 PollFinal 1% Left To Resolve In India-US Trade Deal: US Envoy Sergio GorFirhad Hakim Resigns As Kolkata Mayor, TMC Says Mamata Banerjee ‘Permitted’ HimExpelled TMC Leader Ritabrata Banerjee Appointed LoP, Urges Mamata To Be Rebels’ ‘Chief Advisor”Cease Such Attacks’: India Condemns Kuwait Airport Attack That Killed Indian CitizenHow A Class 12 Student Traced The CBSE-Coempt Tender Trail And Raised Tough QuestionsMamata’s TMC Orders Organisational Reset Amid Growing MLA Revolt Buzz | WatchThe US Just Threatened India With New Tariffs Mid-Negotiation.

Congress strategists and youth organisations have found CJP’s link to a rival, and Congress has told its members the outfit’s actions should be treated with caution. A strategist said, “We are watchful, not worried. The country has been misled once, and it cannot be misled again.”With Rahul Gandhi leading the opposition charge on NEET-CBSE controversies, Youth Congress has hit the streets across cities that are believed to have a resonance on the twin issues.YC chief Uday Bhanu Chib kicked off a nationwide protest in Goa on May 29, and it would cover Maharashtra, Telangana, Assam, Haryana, MP, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Chandigarh, Punjab, and end with Tamil Nadu on June 20. The party’s students’ outfit NSUI too is holding protests across cities. On June 6, when CJP holds the protest, YC would hit the road in Haryana.Congress is still scarred by memories of the Anna Hazare agitation during UPA that led to creation of AAP. “The idea of others is to hype up the ‘Gen Z movement’, and then to project them as aligned with their political party. NEET is just incidental for them,” a Congress member said, adding, “But for us, NEET and demand for the education minister’s resignation are the prime issues. Ours is not a political agenda with NEET-CBSE as cover.”End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosBoost For Air Defence: 4th S-400 Squadron ‘Starts Arriving In India From Russia’Pakistan Embarrassed In Japan As ‘Illegal’ Mosque Inaugurated In Presence Of Envoy Faces DemolitionVijay’s TVK Offers Rajya Sabha Seat To Congress Ahead Of June 18 PollFinal 1% Left To Resolve In India-US Trade Deal: US Envoy Sergio GorFirhad Hakim Resigns As Kolkata Mayor, TMC Says Mamata Banerjee ‘Permitted’ HimExpelled TMC Leader Ritabrata Banerjee Appointed LoP, Urges Mamata To Be Rebels’ ‘Chief Advisor”Cease Such Attacks’: India Condemns Kuwait Airport Attack That Killed Indian CitizenHow A Class 12 Student Traced The CBSE-Coempt Tender Trail And Raised Tough QuestionsMamata’s TMC Orders Organisational Reset Amid Growing MLA Revolt Buzz | WatchThe US Just Threatened India With New Tariffs Mid-Negotiation.
