Tumakuru to merge with Bengaluru? Here's what Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara said
The Karnataka government has initiated steps to merge Tumakuru district with Bengaluru, signalling a major administrative reshuffle aimed at accommodating the capital's rapid expansion. State Home Minister G Parameshwara said he has submitted a proposal to convert Tumakuru into 'Bengaluru North' district, news agency ANI reported. He noted that Bengaluru's growth is steadily extending to neighbouring cities such as Tumakuru, Ramanagara, Kolar, and Chikkaballapur. 'Bengaluru city has already expanded beyond Nelamangala. Tumakuru is just 30 km away. In such a situation, the difference between 'Tumakuru district' and 'Bengaluru North district' becomes significant. For those abroad, like in New York, the term 'Bengaluru North' is easier to identify. That's why such a proposal has been made,' he explained. (Also Read: Namo Bharat trains may soon connect Bengaluru to Mysuru, Tumakuru, Hoskote and more: Report) Parameshwara added that a plan to bring 14 gram panchayats under the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) jurisdiction is already in the works. 'Tumakuru city will expand its administrative reach in the coming days,' he said. He also praised Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar for successfully proposing the inclusion of Ramanagara into Bengaluru South district. 'The government has already approved and issued an order for this. Once an area is named Bengaluru South, its profile changes. A similar approach is being considered for Tumakuru,' he said. Separately, on Monday, Parameshwara informed that he has approached Union Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari for permission to construct a 'Welcome' arch on the National Highway in Tumakuru. He said ₹5 crore has been allocated from the Smart City project for the arch, which will be built near Sadashivanagar in Tumakuru district.

Indian stocks open flat on Wednesday; Sensex, Nifty both marginally up
New Delhi [India], June 11 (ANI): Indian stock benchmarks traded largely steady with upward bias on Wednesday, extending gains for the fifth day, taking positive cues from strong economic fundamentals such as comfortable inflation levels, firm economic growth parameters. Firm global cues also lent support to the Indian stock indices. At the time of filing this report, Sensex traded at 82,489.52 points, up 97.80 points or 0.12 per cent, and Nifty traded at 25,135.45 points, up 31.20 points or 0.12 per cent. Nifty auto, media, oil and gas were the top-moving sectoral indices, while PSU, private bank, and consumer durables slipped. International gold prices were trading at USD 3,360 per ounce, up 0.5 per cent. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, said 'Market is likely to continue in the consolidation range with a slight upward bias.' 'Liquidity will support a mild rally. But a strong rally needs earnings support. There are no indications yet about a strong recovery in earnings. This will cap any short-term rally in the market,' Vijayakumar added. Markets are also awaiting for clarity on the US-China deal front, said veteran financial market expert Ajay Bagga. 'US and China agreed to agree on an already agreed trade deal that was discussed at Geneva and discussed again at London and will now be discussed with the respective delegations with Presidents Trump and Xi , who will then discuss it with each other and hopefully reach a consensus on the way ahead. Confusing? You bet. Markets are waiting for clarity,' Bagga said. Indian stock markets outperformed global markets over the past few weeks, as volatility continued to reign in global markets over possible forthcoming US reciprocal tariffs. A comfortable inflation number in India also somewhat supported the domestic equity indices. In 2024, Sensex and Nifty accumulated a growth of about 9-10 per cent each. In 2023, Sensex and Nifty gained 16-17 per cent, on a cumulative basis. In 2022, they gained a mere 3 per cent each. (ANI)

India is a preferred place for Swiss businesses: State Secretary for Economic Affairs
Bern [Switzerland], June 11 (ANI): Helene Budliger Artieda, State Secretary for Economic Affairs, Switzerland, on Tuesday said India is a preferred place for Swiss industry, as she highlighted India's huge consumer base, firm economic growth, and being a democracy. 'We certainly see India as a preferred place for our industry because you are a democracy that helps. We feel united in values. You are an excellent consumer base. You have excellent growth,' she told reporters at a press conference during Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal's two-day Switzerland visit. 'We really like to have a good relationship with as many markets as we can, but we do believe in the potential of India,' Helene Budliger Artieda said. She said she is impressed with the Indian government's efforts to improve the lives of its people and alleviate poverty. 'Minister Goyal this morning spoke about on how much people have been able to be lifted out of poverty and actually join the middle class in India, and those are exactly the consumers we hope that at one point they will eat Swiss chocolate or buy a Swiss watch, and you know, a Swiss watch you have of course the very expensive ones, but then you have also those that are equally good in quality but more affordable,' she supplemented. EFTA trade deal has currently been ratified by three of the four members - Liechtenstein, Norway, and Iceland. 'We are a direct democracy, so in Switzerland, we have to wait 100 days to see if anyone in Switzerland wishes to take a referendum. These 100 days is a formality, in the case of India it will be over 10th of July, and we are very (sure) that we can deposit our ratified document before the end of September,' she said. 'We're very ambitious about it. We spoke about it also with Minister Goyal, and we hope that it will enter into force first of October,' she said. She said the huge number of Swiss businesses that took part in an industry event, in the presence of Minister Goyal, reflected the country's interest in India. On the second day of his visit, Goyal addressed a gathering of over 1,000 Swiss businesses, accompanied by Swiss Federal Councillor Guy Parmelin. Goyal highlighted India's 'remarkable transformation' over the past 11 years in terms of technology, innovation, and how the country offers great avenues for doing business. 'We had a record number of people in attendance, you know, I know in India you're used to big events, but in Switzerland, to have an event with 1,500 people in the room carefully listening to your minister showcases how much people are interested,' she said. 'This afternoon we did one on one meetings and if I just count a little bit in my head on what we heard today, how excited Swiss companies are, I think it will be very easy to reach that target of USD 100 billion (investment in Indi as part of EFTA deal) and more importantly for me it's also the 1 million job pledge that we did,' she added. 'This partnership with EFTA India should be a win-win situation for everyone. You have a very young population that needs jobs because you're trying to uplift people out of poverty into the middle class and upper middle class, and this is what Swiss companies can provide because we do compete on quality, precision, innovation, and usually these jobs pay well.' Under EFTA, these four countries have pledged to invest USD 100 billion in India over the next 15 years. The negotiations between EFTA and India started in 2008, 21 rounds of negotiations were needed to reach an agreement on 10 March 2024, as per EFTA website. EFTA is an intergovernmental organisation set up in 1960 for the promotion of free trade and economic integration for the benefit of its four Member States. 'Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland have reified this agreement. Switzerland's process will last another two and a half months (or so). It is expected that we will be able to implement this in October,' Minister Goyal told ANI. (ANI)
