Business Upturn6 days ago
LTIMindtree Limited has been awarded a significant ₹792 crore contract by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to develop and operate 'PAN 2.0', a next-generation digital platform to transform the Permanent Account Number (PAN) system in India. The announcement was made via a stock exchange filing on August 7, 2025.
The project, part of the Government of India's broader Government-to-Citizen (G2C) digital transformation agenda, will integrate all PAN and TAN services into a unified, AI-powered digital ecosystem. The aim is to simplify how individuals and businesses access and manage their tax identity information.
Under the terms of the mandate, LTIMindtree will design, build, and manage the entire technology stack for PAN 2.0, including infrastructure, security, automation, and long-term operations. The project will involve AI-led deduplication and secure Aadhaar-linked integration, along with user-friendly features for application, validation, printing, and dispatch.
'This is a flagship opportunity to demonstrate how AI and technology can elevate the everyday experience of citizens,' said Venu Lambu, CEO and MD of LTIMindtree. 'It strengthens our partnership with the Government of India and reflects our shared commitment to building a resilient, future-ready public digital infrastructure.'
The scope of work also includes establishing a dedicated Data Centre (DC), Disaster Recovery (DR) site, Network Operations Centre (NOC), Security Operations Centre (SOC), and on-site operational facilities at ITD premises. Additionally, LTIMindtree will set up a call centre, multilingual helpdesk, and grievance redressal system to enhance citizen support and service delivery.
The platform rollout is scheduled over the next 18 months, with the initiative expected to significantly enhance the transparency, security, and efficiency of India's tax identity services.

Government intensifies push for turmeric exports through SPICED scheme

By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on August 12, 2025, 16:25 IST The Government of India, through the Spices Board, is stepping up efforts to boost turmeric exports under its 'Sustainability in Spice Sector through Progressive, Innovative and Collaborative Interventions for Export Development' (SPICED) scheme. The initiative focuses on enhancing quality, expanding market reach, and strengthening linkages between farmers, processors, and global buyers. Key measures include implementing food safety and certification systems, upgrading post-harvest quality, supporting processing and value addition, and conducting training for turmeric stakeholders to improve quality and entrepreneurial skills. Export consignments are evaluated in laboratories to meet importing countries' specifications, and Buyer-Seller meets—both domestic and international—are being organised to create direct market access. To further unlock turmeric's potential, the government established the National Turmeric Board on October 4, 2023. Its objectives include promoting new product development, raising global awareness, conducting market research, improving export infrastructure, building sustainable supply chains, ensuring compliance with quality standards, and fostering research on turmeric's medicinal and wellness benefits. India continues to be the world's largest exporter of turmeric, accounting for 66% of global turmeric exports in 2024, valued at USD 333.25 million. Export volumes in 2024–25 stood at 176,325 metric tonnes, with Maharashtra leading state-wise exports at USD 155.35 million, followed by West Bengal, Kerala, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu. The top five importers of Indian turmeric over the past five years have been Bangladesh, the UAE, the USA, Malaysia, and Morocco. According to the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, these combined interventions are designed to solidify India's dominance in global turmeric markets while ensuring long-term sustainability and value addition for farmers.

Pharma sector stocks in focus: Citi flags competitive setback for Dr Reddy's, Aurobindo in iron sucrose opportunity

By Arunika Jain Published on August 12, 2025, 08:33 IST Citi has highlighted a potential setback for Indian generic drugmakers Dr Reddy's Laboratories and Aurobindo Pharma after the USFDA approved two generic versions of Iron Sucrose, developed by Viatris and Amphastar. Both companies may be eligible for 180 days of Competitive Generic Therapy (CGT) exclusivity. The brokerage noted that no Indian pharmaceutical companies have yet announced approvals for this product. Given Iron Sucrose was considered an important pipeline opportunity for Dr Reddy's and Aurobindo, Citi believes the latest development — with competitors moving ahead — suggests this could now be a reduced or lost opportunity for them. Citi added that it would wait to see if more companies announce approvals before reassessing the competitive landscape for the product. Disclaimer: The above views are those of Citi.

AMCs stocks in focus: HSBC notes improvement in equity and hybrid fund flows in July

By Arunika Jain Published on August 12, 2025, 08:29 IST HSBC has reported that net flows into equity and hybrid (E&H) funds improved further in July 2025, showing broad-based gains across fund categories compared to 1QFY26. Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) flows accounted for around 45% of total inflows, while New Fund Offers (NFOs) contributed 17%. Lump sum flows also saw an uptick during the month. The brokerage observed that large asset management companies (AMCs) continued to gain market share in assets under management (AUM). However, while buoyant equity markets present an upside risk to its cautious stance, HSBC maintained a measured view on the sector. Disclaimer: The above views are those of HSBC.
