Congress flags 'serious questions' over impact of India-UK FTA on domestic industry
NEW DELHI: With an India-UK free trade agreement likely to be signed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Britain, the Congress on Wednesday claimed that serious questions have emerged on its impact on India's domestic industry. The opposition party's attack came after Prime Minister Modi on Wednesday left on a four-day visit to the UK and the Maldives, expressing confidence that this would boost India's ties with the two countries. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "The Super Premium Frequent Flier jets out of India again today -- this time to the UK and the Maldives. The London trip is for the signing of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), which will in fact have pernicious consequences for numerous stakeholders." The FTA's significant consequences would be on the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which are the backbone of India's economy, the largest employers of India's workers, the object of neglect and the subject of distress in the last 11 years of the Modi government's policy of favouring a couple of big business groups, Ramesh claimed in a post on X.

Why Agricultural Land Could Be Your Smartest Investment in India- The Untapped Goldmine of Indian Real Estate
With food demand skyrocketing and land supply shrinking, owning farmland isn't just for farmers anymore—it's becoming the go-to strategy for smart investors seeking high returns with low risk. Here's why Farmland should be in your portfolio, along with must-know tips to invest safely. 5 Powerful Benefits of Investing in Agricultural Land: 1. Evergreen Demand = Guaranteed Returns India needs to feed 1.7 billion people by 2050, but: - Urbanisation is swallowing 3 lakh acres of farmland yearly (ICAR report) - Climate change is reducing crop yields in traditional breadbaskets This supply crunch makes fertile Agricultural Land one of the few assets that appreciates reliably, with historical returns of 10-15% annually in growth corridors. 2. Beat Inflation Like a Pro While inflation erodes bank FD returns, farmland: - Grows in value as food prices rise - Generates 3-8% rental yields from farmers (better than most rental properties) - Qualifies for tax-free capital gains if reinvested under Section 54B 3. Government Goldmine The Modi government is pouring money into farming through: - PM-KISAN (₹6,000/year direct transfers) - 100% FDI allowed in farm infrastructure - Subsidies for drip irrigation, solar pumps, and organic farming 4. Outperform Urban Real Estate Compare the two: Parameter City Property Agricultural Land Entry Price ₹1Cr+ for small plot ₹5-20L/acre (semi urban) Appreciation Stagnant in many areas 10-25% near growth zones Additional Income Only rentals Crops + leasing + tourism 5. Farmhouse Boom Wealthy Indians are snapping up farmland for: - Luxury Farmhouse retreats (50- 150 km from metros) - Organic food startups (₹500/kg for exotic veggies) - Solar power plants (25-year govt. contracts) 5 Crucial Precautions You Should Take 1. Ensure Dispute-Free Property - Verify 7/12 extract & 8A mutation papers - Check for family disputes (common in inherited land) - Confirm no bank liens or pending litigation 2. Location Intelligence High-growth zones: - Within 100km of metros - Along expressways - Near upcoming airports Red flags: - Water-scarce regions - Naxal-affected districts - Restricted tribal areas 3. Soil & Water Audit - Test for soil nutrients (labs charge ₹2,000-5,000) - Check groundwater levels (avoid areas with >500ft borewells) - Verify electricity availability for pumps 4. Legal Safeguards - Non-agriculturists can't buy in J&K, Himachal - Tribal land requires special permissions in many states - Conversion charges apply for farmhouse construction 5. Exit Strategy - Keep land within municipal limits for easier resale - Prefer areas with clear zoning policies - Document all access roads (avoid landlocked plots) Bottom line: Agricultural Land investment offers what no other asset can: ✔ Inflation-proof income ✔ Explosive appreciation near cities ✔ Multiple profit streams (crops, leasing, development) Ideal for: - NRIs building India portfolios - Business owners diversifying beyond stocks - Young investors starting with ₹5-20L If you're looking for an ideal investment in farmland, then look no further than the Mruganayani Project by Kapil Farms. Nestled in a high-growth corridor, this prestigious project offers more than just fertile land—it offers a future.

Karnataka gets 750 electric buses under PM-eBus Sewa scheme
) Karnataka has been allotted 750 electric buses under the Centre's PM-eBus Sewa scheme, but the government of Karnataka has been urging for direct subsidy instead of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) procurement model. In response to a question raised by Rajya Sabha MP D. Veerendra Heggade, Union Minister of State for Housing and Urban Affairs Tokhan Sahu stated in Parliament that the Central Government had approved 750 e-buses for Karnataka under the scheme. 'As per the demand received from the State of Karnataka, a total of 750 electric buses have been sanctioned for all 10 eligible cities of the State under the PM e-Bus Sewa Scheme. Bengaluru and Udupi are not eligible as per the scheme's guidelines,' he said. Launched on August 16, 2023, the PM-eBus Sewa scheme aims to strengthen public transport systems by deploying 10,000 electric buses across India through a PPP model. 'Deployment of electric buses under the scheme is subject to completion of work related to associated infrastructure (behind-the-meter power and civil depot infrastructure). A total of 7,293 buses have been sanctioned so far out of which 6,518 buses have been tendered,' Mr. Sahu said. In Karnataka, Belagavi, Hubballi-Dharwad, Kalaburagi, Mangaluru, and Mysuru have each been allocated 100 buses while the remaining five eligible cities have been sanctioned 50 buses each. City-wise allotment of buses under PM-eBus Sewa Scheme City Buses Belagavi 100 Hubballi-Dharwad 100 Kalaburagi 100 Mangaluru 100 Mysuru 100 Shivamogga 50 Tumakuru 50 Ballari 50 Vijayapura 50 Davanagere 50 Total 750 Source Ministry of housing and urban affairs However, Karnataka Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy has criticised the current PPP approach. He emphasised that it was far more straightforward to procure and operate buses during the UPA era. 'Earlier, the Centre contributed 50% of the cost while the State and transport corporations shared the remaining 50% equally,' Mr. Reddy recalled. 'But now, under the NDA government, the subsidy is not given directly to States. Instead, private companies that win tenders receive the funding, own the buses, and are responsible for drivers and maintenance. The State-run corporations are only responsible for deploying conductors and paying the operator on a per-kilometre basis,' he added. Mr. Reddy has urged the Central Government to revert to the earlier model by directly providing financial assistance to State transport corporations for a more transparent and efficient rollout. Karnataka plans to introduce a total of 14,750 electric buses during the financial year 2025-26. A senior official from the Transport Department said that these buses would be procured through a combination of schemes, including PM-eBus Sewa, PM e-DRIVE, and other externally aided initiatives. In addition to the e-buses, the State intends to add 1,000 diesel buses under the Gross Cost Contract (GCC) model, which involves hiring private operators to run State-owned buses.
