The central government has asked all digital systems to remain in a state of high alert in anticipation of possible cyberattacks on critical digital infrastructures, sources told Business Standard on Wednesday. These infrastructures include power generating stations, national electricity grid, banks, hospitals, defence installations, telecom companies, and public sector enterprises (PSEs).
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Meity) has asked the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (Cert-In) to remain on constant vigil against possible cyberattacks, including distributed denial of service (DDOS), malware, denial of service (DOS), and social engineering, a senior government official said.

CERT-In flags serious vulnerabilities in Microsoft products, urges users to update immediately
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, often referred to as CERT-In, the country's nodal cybersecurity agency, has issued a new high-risk warning for users and organisations who use Microsoft products. The advisory, which was issued on August 18, carries a high severity rating and affects popular Microsoft software like Windows, Office, Dynamics, Browser, Device, Developer Tools, SQL Server, System Center, Azure and even legacy products. According to CERT-In, the organisation that works under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the flaw could allow threat actors to gain elevated privileges, obtain sensitive information, conduct remote code execution attacks, carry out spoofing attacks, cause denial of service conditions, tamper with system settings and even bypass certain security restrictions in place. As it turns out, the vulnerability could also enable attackers to potentially compromise the system, exfiltrate data, cause system crashes and even carry out ransomware attacks. According to CERT-In, the vulnerability carries the risk of remote code execution, system instability and the stealing of sensitive information. Since these security exploits aren't limited to one or two software products, they put both individuals and organisations at risk. Microsoft recommends that if you are using any of these products, make sure you install the latest security updates as soon as possible to close the security loopholes. If you happen to be an IT administrator or work on the security team responsible for maintaining and updating Microsoft products, try limiting administrator privileges to select accounts, using strong authentication and a backup system and monitoring the network and devices for any suspicious activity or traffic. CERT-In has also issued a vulnerability note for Google Chrome desktop users, where an attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code remotely on a system. In case you are wondering, this vulnerability applies to all end-user organisations and individuals using the desktop version of Google Chrome.

Renewable energy sector to transform Rajasthan: Experts at BS Samriddhi
Two factors make Rajasthan the country's solar capital: favourable solar conditions and vast land availability, said Sunil Bansal, President of the Rajasthan Solar Association, at Business Standard's Rajasthan Samriddhi 2025 event in Jaipur on Wednesday. Speaking at a panel discussion moderated by Business Standard's Agriculture Editor Sanjeeb Mukherjee on 'Energy: The Surging Renewables Sector', Bansal said the state is already generating 32 gigawatts of solar power, unmatched by any other state. However, he noted Rajasthan has been unable to fully leverage the opportunity for wider public benefit. 'While Surat already has 50 manufacturing plants, Rajasthan is trailing with only two. Manufacturing creates jobs, and the state will benefit only if large-scale facilities are set up,' he said. Manufacturing remains a drawback Explaining why Rajasthan lags in manufacturing, Rahul Gupta, Founder, MD, and CEO of Rays Power Experts Ltd, said the state is already generating 32 gigawatts of solar power, and no other state compares. However, the state has been unable to fully utilise the opportunity and extend benefits to the common people, he said. While Gujarat's Surat already has 50 manufacturing plants, Rajasthan is trailing with only two, Bansal said, adding that manufacturing is ultimately responsible for providing employment. The state will be able to benefit only if large-scale manufacturing facilities are created. 'Rajasthan to become one of lowest-cost power states' Explaining why manufacturing continues to be a drawback for Rajasthan, Rahul Gupta, Founder, MD, and CEO of Rays Power Experts Ltd, said that the state, in 2017, introduced an open access mechanism, which allowed industries to produce their own power in the state. However, Gujarat had already implemented the same mechanism in 2012–2013. Gujarat was able to bring power prices under control because of the open access mechanism and generated power on its own, he said. Even though solar manufacturing has been limited in Rajasthan, upcoming technologies such as battery storage are expected to expand significantly in the state. According to Gupta, within three years, Rajasthan will become one of the lowest-cost power states in the country, which will, in turn, bring manufacturing back to the state. Renewable sector to change Rajasthan: Nitin Agarwal Speaking on India's total renewable energy target for 2030, Nitin Agarwal, CEO of the Rajasthan Solar Association, said that while the country's total energy target is 500 gigawatts, Rajasthan's share is 125 gigawatts. He added that the sector will play a decisive role in transforming the state. Rajasthan attracts investments in renewable energy Business Standard previously reported that the state is riding the crest of the renewable energy wave as investment plans in solar and wind power have increased significantly. Rajasthan topped the fresh investment table with a total investment of ₹2,69,391.46 crore across 419 new projects. The state, one of the top producers of cement and crude oil, is now on investors' radar in renewable energy, according to a Projects Today survey. The dominance of solar and wind power projects in Q1 was clearly visible in Rajasthan, accounting for around 86.4 per cent of the state's total fresh investment. Business Standard launches Jaipur editions Business Standard on Wednesday rolled out its Hindi and English editions from Jaipur, formally stepping into the Pink City's media space. With this launch, the English daily now publishes 14 editions, while the Hindi version has grown to seven editions. Until now, Business Standard Hindi was published from six locations — New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Lucknow, Bhopal, and Chandigarh. Jaipur has now joined the list as the seventh publishing hub.

Amid Market Uncertainties, India's Exports to 8 Out of 20 Countries Shrink in April-July Quarter: Report
On the other hand, India's exports to the US grew due to 'frontloading' by American buyers who are building inventory in order to avoid the reciprocal tariffs set to kick in from August 27. View of Jawaharlal Nehru Port from Cannon Hill on Elephanta Island, Maharashtra, India. Photo: Wikimedia Commons New Delhi: Indian exports to eight out of 20 countries reduced in the first quarter (April-July) of financial year 2025, even as the imposition of 50% reciprocal tariffs on exports to the US are yet to reveal its impact, which is expected to be significant. According to a report by Business Standard, citing commerce department data, the countries that witnessed a decline in exports from India between April-July include: the Netherlands (-21.2%), the UK (-11.2%), Singapore (-11.8%), Saudi Arabia (-11.8%), South Africa (-16.3%), Italy (-9.2%), France (-17.3%), and Malaysia (-28.8%). On the other hand, India's exports grew by 3% to USD 149.2 billion as shipments to the US grew to 22% in April-July compared to 19% in the same period the previous year. According to the report, 'Exporters said that global demand has remained sluggish due to uncertainties caused by the imposition of country-specific reciprocal tariffs by the US on several nations.' However, 'India's exports to the US have been robust, seeing healthy double-digit growth, because of frontloading'. What this means is that American buyers are building inventory in order to avoid the tariffs, but this demand is expected to slow down once the 50% reciprocal tariffs kick in from August 27. The report adds that exporters have also prioritised shipments to the US amid the uncertainty, often at the expense of other key markets, due to the urgency to avoid the reciprocal tariffs. The US is one of India's largest export markets and it remained so in the first quarter of FY25. However, going forward, India's merchandise exports are expected to contract further in FY26. The Donald Trump administration in the US had announced a 25% reciprocal tariff on India on August 7. Later, it announced a 'penalty' 25% tariff over and above the reciprocal tariff, blaming it on India's crude oil imports from Russia. This brought India's total to a whopping 50%. The tariffs are going to affect a number of export industries, with the textile or clothing industry facing the highest tariff rate, upwards of 60%. The carpet industry is also likely to be hit badly by this move, while the gems and jewels industry and India's shrimp exports too are likely to be in for a shock.
