Icra retains FY26 GDP forecast at 6.2%

Icra has retained India's GDP growth forecast for FY26 at 6.2%, contingent on favorable monsoons and stable crude oil prices. While urban consumption prospects are positive, geopolitical tensions and volatile financial markets pose downside risks. CPI inflation is projected to cool to 3.5%, potentially leading to a rate cut in October 2025, despite a likely pause in August. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads?

Bad news for India, this foreign company no longer interested to open…, but working with suppliers on Rs 860720010000…

Walmart President and CEO Doug McMillon, in an interview with TOI, stated that the company is no longer focused on the brick-and-mortar retail business in India. McMillon explained, 'That's not something we are pursuing. We've learned that it's very challenging. Instead, we're thrilled to have invested in Flipkart.' Walmart CEO Doug McMillon, on his second visit to India in less than 18 months, on Tuesday reiterated the company's commitment to sourcing USD 10 billion worth of goods from the country, saying the retail giant is actively working with local suppliers to meet this target by 2027. McMillon, who has visited India multiple times since becoming the CEO of the Bentonville-headquartered retail giant, said Walmart has increased sourcing from the country over the years, and it is excited with the progress made. 'I have been coming to India for a long time now, many years, and I have made many trips, and what goes through my mind is that there is a story developing that is a bit like a movie,' McMillon said. 'Over the years, the growth story of India is unfolding, and it's really broadening and becoming much more interesting,' he said. In December 2020, Walmart had announced a goal to source USD 10-billion products from India by 2027, aiming to boost exports in apparel, food, toys, and other categories. 'At the beginning, we were sourcing products here with limited categories, but we were excited to get started… look what's happened in our sourcing business. 'It's grown a lot, and now we have this goal of getting to USD 10 billion a year, which is a really big number, and together with the supplier community, we're working to achieve that,' he said. McMillon, who is on a two-day India tour, also had a walk-through here that highlighted Walmart's India growth story, covering exports, digital innovation, building inclusive supply chains and empowering communities. Besides, he interacted with some of the sellers, who were trained under its supplier development programme, Walmart Vriddhi. On its e-commerce arm Flipkart and digital payments solution PhonePe, McMillon said, 'What our teams have done to grow those businesses over the years has been inspiring.' 'We are really learning a lot from those businesses, the ability to innovate, the ability to move with speed, the ability to serve more and more customers, to develop sellers, to build an e-commerce marketplace, business that has just a really bright future and the chance to create a lot of opportunities for everyone,' he added. On PhonePe, McMillon said the financial services businesses, already reaches a lot of people 'and helps us make things more efficient easier'. 'We are very proud of what's happening with the small business… I'm really excited to hear about the work that's happening with agriculture,' he said. Last year, Walmart said it had sourced goods worth over USD 30 billion from the Indian market in the last two decades for its global operations. Walmart is in India for over two decades. Walmart Global sourcing set up office in Bengaluru in 2002, enabling Indian manufacturers to export to the US, Canada, Mexico, central America, and the UK, supplying products to Walmart stores.

How a bunch of amateurs at Auckland City FC pulled off the upset of Club World Cup

Christian Gray, a trainee physical education teacher at Mt. Roskill Intermediate School in Auckland, fears the assignment pile-up when he returns home and resumes his primary job. But the defender would take the pain of flipping through the humdrum pages with a content heart, as he netted the lone goal his club, Auckland City FC, scored in the Club World Cup, against Boca Juniors, the Argentinian powerhouse. 'I don't love the spotlight. I'll leave that to the other boys, but, yeah, a lot of emotions,' Gray said after the game. It was the most memorable hour in the club's history. They survived an onslaught of 40 shies on goal, but showed the fight and tenacity to salvage a draw. Their inclusion was dubbed a FIFA farce, as they were obscenely mismatched in stature and economics. Most of the players are amateurs, get around 100 USD for a game (as opposed to six figure sums those in Europe earn.) Even Auckland City's local paper, the New Zealand Herald, joined the critics, suggesting the team had 'damaged Auckland City FC's proud 20-year legacy' in Fifa events. 'It's been a trying few weeks,' the Herald reported after two defeats. 'In the past, Auckland City have been renowned for punching above their weight on the global stage, while usually having a couple of outstanding individuals. That hasn't quite been the case here.' Auckland 🆚 Boca #FIFACWC — FIFA Club World Cup (@FIFACWC) June 25, 2025 The 5074th side in the world, according to Opta, had a combined market value of just $5.29 million. Bayern Munich, who thrashed them 10-0, had a total squad value of $1.04 billion which was just the fifth highest among all teams at the FIFA Club World Cup. Boca was worth 100 million dollars. 'We rely on volunteers, we don't have a lot of money so I'm just happy that they're happy,' Gray said. Auckland reported 1.1m New Zealand dollars (around £488,000) in revenue for the last financial year, compared to the Bundesliga giants' 951.5m euros (£810m). The team comprises community football coaches, an engineer, a sonographer, a coca cola sales manager, a barber, real estate brokers, forklift operators and warehouse managers. We've had some tough results, but I'm just happy for the team and the boys, I think we deserve it. We've got a little bit of respect.' Gray would say. His family is no stranger to sporting glory. His father Rodger captained the country's football team and now works as the security head of Auckland FC while his mother Sandra had represented her country in netball. The result not only earned them international recognition but also a significant financial reward, with the club set to receive approximately US$4.48 million in total prize-money. 'You can't begin to explain the odds that we are up against,' manager Paul Poša said after the draw. 'Our club is tiny with the hugest heart. We got something today from the tournament, which was a just reward for everybody that's been working behind the scenes. You can't say we haven't learned from the experience of being at the tournament, I'm thrilled for the players and the club, it's wonderful. It's something to go home with.'
