The CAG said excise duty on obsolete stock of beer was waived without obtaining permission from the govt. There was a short raising of demand of duty of Rs 73.18 crore on mild beer due to delay in granting approval for sending duplicate samples for chemical analysis. Also, there is no provision in excise law to declare the details of manufacturing cost (components like raw material, labour, and overheads). "If there was a provision to check the manufacturing cost, the govt would have got additional revenue to that extent.

Motilal Oswal alternates closes ₹2,000 crore sixth real estate fund
Motilal Oswal Alternates (MOA), the alternative investment arm of Motilal Oswal Group, announced the closure of its sixth real estate fund – Indian Realty Excellence Fund VI (IREF-VI) – raising Rs 2,000 crore. The fund's portfolio is primarily focused on mid-income residential developments designed to meet the rising demand from urban homebuyers. MOA noted that a substantial share of the capital was raised from family offices and Indian high-net-worth individuals (HNIs), underscoring strong domestic conviction in the real estate credit space. Additionally, commitments from offshore investors via the GIFT City route reflect growing global confidence in the Indian real estate market. Saurabh Rathi, Managing Director & Co-Head (Real Estate) at MOA, said, 'Credit demand for land acquisition in India is accelerating rapidly, driven by a renewed appetite for residential development, rising land values, and limited availability of structured capital. With continued tightening of regulatory norms for traditional lenders, alternative credit platforms are increasingly stepping in to bridge the funding gap with tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of developers.' MOA has allocated capital across 15 real estate projects, partnering with leading developers such as Ajmera Realty, Runwal Enterprises, Ambuja Neotia Group, Casagrand Group, Radiance Realty, Mantra Properties, Assetz Group, Akshar Group, Bhagwati Group, and ASBL Group. To date, 75 per cent of the fund has been deployed across projects in key urban markets, including Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Kolkata. MOA has marked its first exit from IREF VI, delivering an internal rate of return (IRR) of 20.25 per cent. To date, it has executed over 180 investments and achieved more than 110 full exits. Since the beginning of 2024, the firm, through its funds and co-investments, has committed over Rs 2,500 crore across more than 35 real estate projects. It has also exited over 30 investments, with total divestments exceeding Rs 2,200 crore. Commenting on the fund's closure, Vishal Tulsyan, Co-founder and Executive Chairman of MOA, noted that over the past decade, the firm has established a differentiated position in the alternative asset management space by combining deep sector expertise with a robust governance framework. The platform's cumulative assets under management (AUM) in real estate exceed Rs 10,000 crore, spread across six real estate funds and multiple co-investments. Overall, the alternative investments platform manages more than $2 billion in cumulative AUM across real estate and private equity strategies.

Maharashtra Agriculture Minister sparks row by calling state government beggar
MUMBAI: Maharashtra Agriculture Minister Manikrao Kokate stirred controversy by referring to the Mahayuti-led state government as a "beggar." While speaking about crop loan insurance, Kokate remarked that the state government charges only one rupee from farmers. 'The reality is that even a beggar does not accept one rupee as alms, but the state government is collecting it from farmers. This shows who is truly rich and who is the beggar,' Kokate said. Later, he clarified that his statement was misinterpreted and blown out of proportion to target him politically. Responding to the controversy, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said he had not seen Kokate's statement directly but asserted that calling one's own government a beggar is inappropriate. 'The financial condition of Maharashtra is very good. It is one of the most progressive and developed states. We are the only state to increase investment in the agriculture sector. We have committed Rs 5,000 crore annually, a total of Rs 25,000 crore over the next five years. Moreover, Maharashtra has managed to keep its debt within permissible limits. Our fiscal deficit is only 3%, whereas other states have a deficit of 4–5%. There is no cause for concern about the state's financial status,' Fadnavis said.
