"As of now, no CBAM, we are a sovereign and a very powerful nation today...So, if anybody hurts our exports interest, we will react and hurt and retaliate or rebalance to make sure that our interest is not hurt," he told reporters when asked about the UK's proposed CBAM.
"I can assure that no unilateral measure which hurts India can go away without a proportionate response from India," he added.
Sources have said India flagged the issue during negotiations of the trade agreement. The comprehensive economic and trade agreement (CETA) was signed on July 24, with an aim to double bilateral trade by 2030.

The issue is not in the pact, as Britain has not yet notified of the tax.
Goyal added that the EU has also planned to impose CBAM, but it is going to hurt the European Union more.

Not only Bengalis, every citizen has right to go anywhere in India, says economist Amartya Sen
Wading into the political slugfest over the alleged harassment of Bengali migrant workers in other parts of the country, noted economist Amartya Sen said every citizen of India has the freedom to go wherever they want, and any effort to curb that must be objected to. Speaking to reporters at his ancestral home in Santiniketan, Sen said it doesn't matter whether a person is a Bengali, Punjabi or a Marwari, the freedom to go wherever he wants and speak whichever language he wants is his constitutional right .

We have to respect everyone...," he said on Thursday, responding to a question from reporters on the issue that has rocked the state. Sen said if Bengalis are being tortured and neglected, it must be objected to. Live Events "It is not a question of Bengal alone, but the whole country," he added. "The language that was integrated with 'Charyapad' (Bangla), its value must be acknowledged. Various poems have been written in that language. The messages of Rabindranath Tagore and Kazi Nazrul Islam have been laid out very clearly in their works. These values must be acknowledged," he said. The TMC has been raising its voice over the last one month, alleging that Bengali-speaking people, especially poor Muslim migrant workers , are being harassed in BJP-ruled states and being branded illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has led a mega rally in Kolkata over the issue last month, and also started 'Bhasa Andolan', sharpening her attack on the BJP. The BJP, on the other hand, has dismissed the allegations, claiming that the TMC did not think about the welfare of migrant workers over the last 14 years, and was now raising the issue with an eye on next year's assembly elections in the state.

Real estate undergoes structural reset with financial discipline and equity-led growth
Property developers are sharpening their focus on deleveraging, creating healthy balance sheets, and increasingly opting for equity over high-cost debt. Last fiscal year, 62% of the top 50 listed developers reported debt-to-equity (D/E) ratios below 0.5 -- an improvement from 43% in FY21. Also, the share of firms with D/E ratios above 1.0 fell sharply to 17%, signalling a clear pivot towards financial conservatism, according to real estate services firm Colliers.

The improving financial health of developers has sparked renewed confidence among banks and equity investors. Since 2021, realty firms have raised nearly Rs 40,000 crore through IPOs, with Rs 7,630 crore raised via seven IPOs in the first half of 2025 alone. The momentum builds on a strong 2024, when nine IPOs garnered Rs 13,800 crore. Some of the large IPOs this year include Schloss Bangalore (Leela Hotels), Kalpataru , and Brigade Hotel Ventures . Others, like WeWork India, Bhive Workspaces, and Prestige Hospitality Ventures, are actively preparing for market entry. Knowledge Realty Trust, backed by Sattva Group and Blackstone, also secured Sebi approval for a Rs 4,800 crore REIT. The diverse range of listings underscores broadening investor appetite across asset classes, from residential and hospitality to co-working and alternative REIT platforms. 'India's real estate sector continues to show resilience and financial prudence despite global uncertainties. The rising number of credit rating upgrades in FY25 compared to other sectors is a testament to the sector's evolving strength,' said Badal Yagnik, CEO, Colliers India. According to Colliers, the realty sector's equity-led funding strategy is a deliberate pivot to reduce reliance on high-cost, short-tenure debt. 'This change is not accidental, it reflects conscious efforts by developers to strengthen governance, consolidate at the SPV level, and tap institutional capital for long-term growth,' said Shivam Agarwal, vice president, strategic growth, Sattva Group. The banking sector responded positively too. Gross bank credit to real estate nearly doubled to Rs 35.4 lakh crore in FY25 from Rs 17.8 lakh crore in FY21, raising the sector's share of overall bank credit to 19.4% from 16.3%. The gross non-performing asset (GNPA) ratio in construction plunged to 3.1% this March, from 23.5% in March 2021, underscoring improved asset quality and the viability of new projects. However, NBFC lending remains below pre-IL&FS levels. It is gradually recovering, rising to Rs 1.3 lakh crore as of September 2024 from Rs 1 lakh crore in FY21. The bulk of new funding is now coming from commercial banks, reflecting the sector's enhanced compliance and governance standards. The sector's improving creditworthiness has also drawn recognition from rating agencies. According to an internal analysis by a top credit rating firm, the upgrade-to-downgrade ratio for real estate issuers surged to 23:1 in H2 FY25, compared to just 2.3:1 for the broader economy. In FY25, 66% of the top listed real estate companies reported operating margins above 20%, up from 55% in FY21, while firms with net profit margins above 10% jumped to 62% from 23%. These gains have been powered by firm pricing, strong end-user demand, and cost control. 'The improving credit profile of the sector is underpinned by strong demand-supply dynamics across segments, residential, commercial, retail, hospitality, and industrial,' said Yagnik. 'The near-to-medium-term outlook remains robust, backed by both domestic and global investor interest.' Experts believe regulatory nod for small and medium REITs (SM-REITs) is expected to democratise retail participation in high-yielding real estate assets such as industrial parks, co-living spaces, and student housing. 'Indian real estate is no longer a cyclical bet -- it is being seen as a restructured, institution-friendly sector,' said Jasmeet Chhabra, partner and cofounder, JV Ventures. 'As the ecosystem deepens, we expect broader participation from institutional and retail investors alike.'
