India's richest people's secret revealed! 60% of super-rich invest money in only these 2 things, they are…
Around 60 per cent of India's Uber rich wealth is still parked in real estate and gold, according to a report by Bernstein. Uber rich individuals include Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNI), High Net Worth Individuals (HNI), and the Affluent class.
The report stated 'Uber Rich own approx. USD 2.7 Tn in serviceable assets, approx. 60 per cent wealth still parked in real-estate & gold'. As per the report, India's total household assets are valued at USD 19.6 trillion.
Out of this, USD 11.6 trillion, which is 59 per cent, is held by the top wealth bracket referred to as the 'Uber Rich'. This group includes the Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNI), High Net Worth Individuals (HNI), and the Affluent class. 1% Hold 60% Of Total Assets
Together, they account for just about 1 per cent of Indian households but hold 60 per cent of the total assets and 70 per cent of the financial assets in the country.
Of the USD 11.6 trillion held by the Uber Rich, only USD 2.7 trillion is considered to be in serviceable financial assets like direct equity, mutual funds, insurance, and bank or government deposits.
This USD 2.7 trillion is defined as the 'Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM)' for wealth managers, suggesting that this segment of financial assets can be actively managed, advised on, or invested.
As per report, the remaining USD 8.9 trillion is parked in non-serviceable assets such as physical real estate, gold, promoter equity, and currency assets, areas that are traditionally not managed by wealth managers or are harder to reallocate easily.

India bans imports of jute products, other items from Bangladesh via land routes
Agency: PTI New Delhi, Aug 11 (PTI) India on Monday banned imports of certain jute products and ropes from Bangladesh through all land routes with immediate effect, amid strained relations between the two countries. However, according to a notification of the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), these imports are allowed through the Nhava Sheva Seaport. 'Imports from Bangladesh shall not be allowed from any land port on the India-Bangladesh Border," it said, adding, 'Import of certain goods from Bangladesh to India is regulated with immediate effect." The products included in the list are bleached and unbleached woven fabrics of Jute or of other textile bast fibre; twine, cordage, rope of jute; and sacks and bags of jute. Earlier on June 27, India prohibited imports of a number of jute products and woven fabrics from Bangladesh through all land routes. Those imports are, however, allowed only through Nhava Sheva seaport in Maharashtra. The curbs were imposed on items such as jute products, flax tow and waste, jute and other bast fibres, jute, single flax yarn, single yarn of jute, multiple folded, woven fabrics or flex, and unbleached woven fabrics of jute. In April and May also, India had announced similar curbs on imports from Bangladesh. On May 17, India imposed port restrictions on the import of certain goods like ready-made garments and processed food items, from the neighbouring country. On April 9, India withdrew the transhipment facility it had granted to Bangladesh for exporting various items to the Middle East, Europe and various other countries except Nepal and Bhutan. These measures were announced against the backdrop of the controversial statements made by the head of Bangladesh's interim government Muhammad Yunus in China. The comments did not go down well in New Delhi. It also drew sharp reactions from political leaders in India across party lines. India-Bangladesh relations have nosedived dramatically after Yunus failed to contain attacks on minorities, especially Hindus. Bangladesh is a big competitor of India in the textile sector. The India-Bangladesh trade stood at USD 12.9 billion in 2023-24. In 2024-25, India's exports stood at USD 11.46 billion, while imports were USD 2 billion.

Persistent foreign portfolio outflows could weigh on the rupee, though a weak US dollar may offer support at lower levels, Choudhary said.

No need to worry about US tariffs, duty hike on shrimp chance to boost Indian market: Nitesh Rane
Maharashtra Fisheries Minister Nitesh Rane on Monday said the recent increase in tariff on shrimp exported to the United States from India should be seen as an opportunity to expand the country's domestic market for prawns and other seafood items. Advising stakeholders not to worry too much about the US tariffs, Rane noted Europe and Vietnam are good export markets for Indian shrimp, but added the domestic seafood market is big enough to support farmers and fishermen.

According to the Seafood Export Association of India (SEAI), USD 2 billion worth of shrimp exports to the US face severe disruptions due to higher tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like He is our only child, we cannot see him suffer. Help us! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo India exported USD 2.8 billion worth of shrimps to America in 2024 and has shipped USD 500 million worth so far this year. The new duties make Indian seafood significantly less competitive compared to China, Vietnam and Thailand, which face US tariffs of only 20-30 per cent, said SEAI secretary general K N Raghavan. Maharashtra minister Rane opined the the higher US tariff on shrimp provides an opportunity to boost Indian market. Live Events "Earlier, there was a 16 per cent tariff on shrimp, but it was raised to 60 per cent during the Trump administration. I have appealed to prawn consumers to expand and spread our domestic market. If everyone thinks of increasing prawn consumption, it will greatly benefit the domestic market and support the Prime Minister's Aatmanirbhar Bharat policy," he told reporters in Mumbai. Calling the new scenario a "golden opportunity" for prawn producers, Rane maintained India's seafood market is strong enough to support farmers and fishermen. "People should not worry too much about the tariffs. It would be better to promote prawns and other seafood items. Europe and Vietnam are good export markets for us, but why do we focus only on exports? My priority is my state and my country. If we export so much of our production, who will cater to the domestic market?" he asked. Rane said a recent report suggested India's fishery production had reduced, but Maharashtra's output had increased due to favourable policies implemented under Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. On the future of Mumbai's Sassoon Dock, one of the city's oldest fish landing sites, the BJP minister declared it would "never be closed". Rane said he had spoken to Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal to find a solution to the court's order related to the dock and sought 30 days to work on it. "No fisherman will face eviction," the state minister assured. In 2023, the Bombay High Court had stressed the need to modernise docks in Mumbai to address the concern of pollution caused by solid waste accumulation at these spots due to fishing activities. During the monsoon session of the state legislature, the Shiv Sena (UBT) had raised concerns over the eviction threat faced by the Koli community at Sassoon Dock amid a prolonged dispute between Maharashtra Fisheries Development Corporation (MFDC) and Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT). The dispute, which is over a decade old, began after MbPT issued eviction notices alleging MFDC had failed to pay lease rent. MFDC had leased the land in question from MbPT and sublet it to local fishermen and fish traders.
