Bearing the flood losses, why not benefit?: CM Naidu
During his speech at the 79th Independence Day celebration held at the IGMC Stadium in Vijayawada, the CM said, 'When floods occur, if the upstream states release water, we, as the downstream state, bear the losses and difficulties. Why are there objections to using the same floodwater as the downstream state? We have to bear the flood, but how can we cope if we do not benefit from the floodwater?'
He questioned the objections raised by the neighboring state, clarifying that the government decided to divert the river Godavari wastewater from Polavaram to Banakacherla to transform Rayalaseema into an agrarian region.
People are getting double welfare now as our 'Super Six' is super hit: Naidu
The CM assured that this project would not harm the water interests of any state and stressed that no one needs to worry.
He also heavily criticized the previous YSRCP government's regime, alleging that the government that came to power in 2019 devastated the state for five years, destroyed the brand image of Andhra Pradesh, and weakened institutions.
'The state was pushed back by 30 years. They caused financial ruin with debts and arrears amounting to Rs 10 lakh crore. For those five years, there was no development. They didn't even fill the potholes on the roads. The more we dig, the more the debts, mistakes, and irregularities of the previous government come to light. Polavaram stalled. Amaravati came to a halt, and investors fled the state,' CM Chandrababu said.

What can we expect from the GST revamp coming in Diwali? Will cars, mobiles get cheaper?
In case you missed it, there's a GST revamp expected by Diwali. The government is mulling a change in the tax slabs and reducing the tax on certain items. How will this benefit the common man? Which products will get more expensive? A GST revamp is on the cards and it is expected to be rolled out by Diwali. According to sources, mobile phones and other items will become cheaper. File image/Reuters 'This Diwali, I am going to make it a double Diwali for you. The citizens will receive a big gift… We are bringing next-generation GST reforms. This will reduce the tax burden across the country. This will be a gift ahead of Diwali,' said Prime Minister Narendra Modi from the ramparts of Red Fort on India's 79th Independence Day last Friday (August 15). It is expected that the GST reforms will ease the burden on the common man, particularly benefiting farmers, the middle class and small businesses. Moreover, the move is being seen as many as a political masterstroke; the GST reforms will help boost the BJP's chances in the upcoming Bihar Assembly polls where the opposition has used the lack of jobs to attack the BJP-led government. Several pundits also note that the move will bolster the PM's image in the ongoing trade fight with Washington. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD And even the markets reacted positively to Modi's announcement. Early on Monday, the Sensex and Nifty surged ahead, buoyed by plans for big bang reforms in the GST regime by Diwali. The Sensex jumped 1,021.93 points to 81,619.59 in early trade whereas the Nifty surged 322.2 points to 24,953.50. But, as excitement builds around the new GST rates in the run-up to the revamp, here's a simple guide on what is likely to change and get cheaper for the common man. What are the current GST slabs and rates? The Goods and Services Tax (GST) slabs and rates are currently decided by the GST Council, which comprises representatives from the governments at the Centre, states, and Union Territories. At present, there are four main slabs under the GST regime: Five per cent 12 per cent 18 per cent 28 per cent These four rate slabs apply to most of the goods and services across the country. Currently, zero per cent GST is charged on essential food items, medicines and education. Daily use items attract a five per cent tax while standard goods have a 12 per cent tax on them. There's a 18 per cent GST on electronics and services whereas luxury and sin goods have a 28 per cent tax on them. There are also three special GST rates for these items: 3 per cent GST on gold, silver, diamond and jewellery 1.5 per cent GST on cut and polished diamonds 0.25 per cent GST on rough diamonds GST was first introduced in 2017. File image/PTI What are the changes being introduced to GST regime now? The government plans to rationalise the GST slabs into two from the existing four slabs — one of five per cent and the other being an 18 per cent slab. This will mark the biggest indirect tax reform since GST was introduced in 2017. As per the plans, 90 per cent of items currently being charged at 28 per cent may be moved to the 18 per cent slab. Moreover, a majority of items in the 12 per cent slab are to be moved to the five per cent slab. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD According to reports, there will also be another third slab of 40 per cent, which will cover luxury and sin goods. Indian commuters drive past a huge cutout of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi next to Goods and Services Tax (GST) banners in New Delhi. The changes are the biggest indirect tax reform since GST was introduced in 2017. File image/AP What is likely to get cheaper and costlier? As many items in the 12 per cent slab will be moved to the five per cent slab, several products are expected to get cheaper. For instance, products such as tooth powder, toothpaste (some branded variants), soaps, hair oil will get cheaper. Also processed foods, snacks, frozen vegetables, condensed milk are likely to cost lesser after the changes. Mobile phones, computers, sewing machines, pressure cookers, geysers, irons and vacuum cleaners are also likely to get cheaper. Readymade garments costing above Rs 1,000 and footwear in the Rs 500-1000 range will also get more affordable for the common man. Cookware and utensils along with Ayurvedic medicines are also expected to become inexpensive. Air conditioners are also likely to get cheaper. Insurance, which currently attracts 18 per cent GST, is also expected to be cheaper. Government sources have been quoted as saying that GST on health and life insurance premiums may also be lowered to five or even zero per cent. It is also expected that the GST on small cars will reduce, making them more affordable. A source also told Moneycontrol that cars with higher engine capacity that attract a 28 per cent GST and additional levy of up to 22 per cent — resulting in total taxes of about 50 per cent — may come under a new special rate of 40 per cent. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The government is planning to impose a 40 per cent GST on tobacco products. Currently, tobacco and related products face 28 per cent GST plus other taxes. File image/Reuters There's also a chance that buying houses may get cheaper as a result of the change. Pradeep Aggarwal, founder and chairman, Signature Global (India), told Hindustan Times, 'The housing sector stands to benefit from these reforms, as moving to a two-slab structure will not only make GST compliance easier for real estate developers, but also help rationalise input costs, improve cash flows and eventually reduce the cost of homes for buyers.' However, there's bad news for smokers and gamers. The government is planning to impose a 40 per cent GST on tobacco products. Currently, tobacco and related products, including cigarette, cigars, paan masala cigarillos and hookah, face 28 per cent GST plus other taxes, amounting to a total of 53 per cent tax. Online gaming is also expected to attract a 40 per cent GST under the proposed changes. If finalised, it will cause a huge blow to online gaming companies such as fantasy sports, which currently have a 28 per cent GST levied on them. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The reason for the high GST on online gaming comes amid concerns due to the amount of money being spent on these platforms. Also, many have pointed to the amount of time being spent on these platforms. What would be the impact of such a move? Officials note that such changes to the GST slabs could initially lead to a short-term revenue dip. However, the government is confident that higher consumption, as a result from lower effective tax rates, will offset the revenue loss in the months. The changes will also help eliminate quirky disputes. For instance, under the current system, packaged food items are taxed at 12 per cent, while unpackaged ones attract a five per cent tax. This has led to confusion among consumers. Now, we will have to wait until Diwali to see what changes does the GST Council announce. Will it truly be a Diwali Dhamaka? With inputs from agencies

Tamil Nadu to upgrade 20 government high schools to higher secondary for 2025–26
Chennai, India: The Department of School Education has announced plans to upgrade 20 government high schools across Tamil Nadu into higher secondary schools for the 2025–26 academic year. The initiative, aimed at expanding access to higher secondary education, follows a budget announcement earlier this year by School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi. As part of the upgradation process, 200 postgraduate teachers will be appointed, with ten teachers assigned to each school. Subject-wise allocations include Tamil, English, physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, history, economics, computer science, and commerce. Teachers will be recruited under the pay scale of Rs 36,900–1,16,600 (Level-18), with the state government approving an estimated expenditure of Rs 29.39 crore for the project. Among the schools identified for upgradation is Mathur Government High School in Chennai's Madhavaram block. Other districts benefiting include Cuddalore, Kallakurichi, Krishnagiri, Chengalpattu, Dindigul, Tiruchy, Tirupattur, Madurai, Villupuram, Ramanathapuram, Tiruppur, Salem, Tiruvannamalai, Nagapattinam, and Kanniyakumari. Officials said the initiative aims to ensure students in rural and semi-urban areas can continue studies up to Class 12 without shifting schools or discontinuing education. 'It is about time certain high schools are upgraded. This will help reduce dropout rates and encourage students to pursue higher education within their localities,' a government school teacher said. However, the development comes amid challenges in the state's education system, with declining enrollment in several schools. The Department of Elementary Education (DEE) recently closed 208 state-run schools due to zero admissions. Overall, 1,204 schools across Tamil Nadu recorded no new enrollments this academic year, including 208 government primary and middle schools, 114 government-aided schools, 11 partially-funded schools, 869 private institutions, and two union government schools. Officials hope that upgrading high schools to higher secondary will strengthen the public school system and restore confidence among parents and communities in state-run institutions.

India–China trade roadblock? Beijing slows approval for deals to guard tech transfers; Haier, PG Electroplast and more await clarity
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepares for his first visit to China in seven years, experts indicate that Beijing is exercising caution and delaying approval of partnership agreements between companies of both nations, particularly regarding critical technology transfers, according to sources cited by Economic Times. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The sale of a 48-50% stake in Chinese Haier's Indian operations has experienced a two-month delay as their authorities review the agreement terms, including technology transfer aspects. Bharti Group's has already secured an exclusivity agreement for the stake acquisition, with most procedures completed. Also read: Indian manufacturer PG Electroplast's technology transfer agreement for air-conditioner compressors also awaits Chinese government approval. "In the next one or two months, we will have some more clarity on this," Vishal Gupta, managing director, finance, at PG Electroplast, told analysts last week. PG Electroplast hasn't yet disclosed the name of the partner for this project but people in the know, quoted by ET, said it's China's top compressor manufacturer Highly Group. Gupta further said he was in China three weeks ago and had a discussion with the partner. "It is held up at their end right now. Everything is ready (here)," he said. Chinese authorities have also intensified their review of automotive sector transactions, particularly regarding electric vehicle technology sharing. "China has the lead in electric vehicle technology, and they do not want it to permeate to other geographies," said an industry executive, quoted by the financial daily. Chinese firms have reportedly received unofficial directives requiring scrutiny of overseas technology transfer agreements, particularly affecting medium and large companies. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This situation affects Indian companies' business plans, as demonstrated by PG Electroplast's revised timeline for their compressor project, now potentially extending beyond FY26. The company has reduced its capital expenditure forecast from Rs 900 crore to Rs 700-750 crore. This comes as several Indian companies, including Sona Comstar, Dixon Technologies, and Epack Durable Ltd, are currently establishing partnerships with Chinese firms. Lumax Autotech plans to establish operations in China for technological advancement. Industry observers note China's strategic position in EV technology and supply chains. The situation parallels India's PN3 regulations, which require multi-ministry approval for equity deals with companies from border-sharing nations. However, amid these challenges, bilateral relations between the two nations have shown improvement recently. PM Modi's visit coincides with US President Donald Trump's tariff threats against both nations with India under 25% tariff bracket set to increase to 50% on August 27. India and China are preparing to discuss trade arrangements involving rare earth magnets, fertilisers, and pharmaceuticals.
