India's trade gap likely narrowed to $20.7 billion as cheaper oil, sluggish gold imports ease June deficit
Synopsis India's merchandise trade deficit saw a slight decrease to USD 20.7 billion in June 2025, according to Union Bank of India, driven by lower crude prices and gold imports. Strategic sourcing, particularly increased oil purchases from Russia and the US, helped mitigate global commodity fluctuations. TIL Creatives AI generated image for representation purposes. India's merchandise trade deficit likely eased slightly to USD 20.7 billion in June 2025, down from USD 21.9 billion in May, according to a report by Union Bank of India (UBI). The moderation was attributed to falling crude prices, subdued gold imports, and a recalibrated sourcing strategy that helped buffer the impact of global commodity fluctuations. A short-lived decline in crude prices—following the temporary Israel-Iran ceasefire—alongside increased oil production by OPEC+ helped ease India's oil-related import bill. Although Brent crude rebounded to USD 69.80/bbl in June, up from USD 64.01/bbl in May, the broader supply landscape remained favorable, preventing a sharp spike in costs. India's crude oil imports stood at 4.66 million barrels per day (mbpd) in June, marginally lower than 4.72 mbpd in May, according to energy analytics firm Vortexa. A noteworthy shift in sourcing further supported the trade balance. Indian refiners ramped up purchases from Russia and the United States, both of which surpassed traditional Middle Eastern suppliers. Russian oil imports touched a two-year high of 2–2.2 mbpd, while shipments from the US surged over 270% year-on-year in the first four months of 2025. This strategic diversification reduced exposure to geopolitical hotspots, particularly the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the improvement in oil import dynamics, India's petroleum product exports fell nearly 10% in June, dropping to 1.19 mbpd from 1.32 mbpd in May. On an annual basis, exports declined 3.7%, which limited the extent of overall improvement in the trade deficit. India's gold trade deficit also narrowed in June amid a combination of high prices, tighter regulations, and subdued domestic demand. Global gold prices averaged USD 3,353/oz, marking a 5% monthly and 32% year-to-date rise in USD terms. These elevated prices deterred fresh imports. Preliminary figures indicated a dip in gold imports to 30.56 tonnes in May, down from 34.87 tonnes in April, with expectations of a further fall in June. India imported 16.59 million tonnes (MT) of coal through major ports in June, registering a 1.2% year-on-year increase, though marginally lower by 2.1% compared to May. Thermal coal, accounting for 70.2% of the total, rose 7.2% from the same period last year, reflecting sustained demand from power and industrial sectors. The government stepped up trade enforcement through several policy interventions. These included: Anti-dumping duties on four Chinese chemicals Import bans on jute and woven fabric from Bangladesh due to reported violations Calls to restrict iron ore pellet imports from Oman, with domestic producers raising red flags over alleged Iranian-origin cargo undermining the Indian industry. The UBI report cautioned that any continued rise in global commodity prices, especially oil and metals, could add pressure to India's import bill in the coming months. However, softening global demand and sluggish exports may help offset this, keeping the overall trade balance from deteriorating sharply. 'Going forward, commodity price trends will remain critical in assessing the trajectory of India's trade deficit,' the report concluded. (With ANI inputs)

Income Tax Return: IT refunds jump 474% to ₹4.77 lakh crore in last 11 years — Details here
Income Tax Return: India's Income Tax Refunds witnessed a nearly fivefold or 474% jump in the last 11 years to ₹ 4.77 lakh crore in 2024-25 due to the improvement in the nation's tax administration. The rise in tax refunds and the decrease in the number of days to issue those refunds are due to the adoption of digital infrastructure, including end-to-end online filing and faceless assessment, which helps to make the refund process faster and more accurate for processing ITRs, as per the people cited above, reported news agency PTI, citing people aware of the development. 'As the taxpayer base expands and advance tax payments and TDS mechanisms deepen, refunds become more common. The growing volume and share of refunds are thus not merely a statistical trend but a meaningful signal of systemic maturity,' said officials. Income Tax Refunds has reportedly outpaced the growth in tax collections, as the gross tax collections witnessed a 274% growth to ₹ 27.03 lakh crore as of 2024-25, compared to ₹ 7.22 lakh crore as of 2013-14, people aware of the development told the news agency. The report also highlighted that the number of days taken to issue ITRs to the people decreased from 93 days in 2013 to 17 days in 2024, marking an 81% decrease. In the financial year ended 2023-24, the Income Tax Department issued ITRs of ₹ 83,008 crore, compared to its current levels of ₹ 4.77 crore ITRs in the year ended 2024-25. According to the agency report, the IT returns filed have grown by 133% to 8.89 crore in 2024, compared to 3.8 crore levels in 2013. The refunds as a proportion of gross direct taxes collected also jumped to 17.6% as of 2024-25, compared to their 11.5% levels in 2013-14. The introduction of pre-filled returns, automation in refund processing, real-time TDS adjustments and online grievance redress mechanisms have led to reduced delays and improved the taxpayers' experience, according to the agency report. 'As the taxpayer base expands and advance tax payments and TDS mechanisms deepen, refunds become more common. The growing volume and share of refunds are thus not merely a statistical trend but a meaningful signal of systemic maturity,' said the people aware of the development.

Made tough choice to close fast-fashion delivery startup Blip: Co-founder Ansh Agarwal
New Delhi, Jul 13 (PTI) Bengaluru-based startup Blip, which was into fast fashion delivery, has been shut down, co-founder Ansh Agarwal said in a LinkedIn post, citing limited capital and go-to-market challenges. Blip offered 30-minute doorstep delivery of the latest fashion apparel and accessories in Bengaluru, and its closure highlights the broader strain on early-stage innovation for startups, as they face harsh funding realities, despite promising growth narratives of the quick commerce space. In the backdrop of cautious investor sentiments and fierce competition, new ventures, overall, struggle to scale up and face operational challenges within the country's evolving startup ecosystem. Among the prominent startups that have shut down over the last one year are Koo, touted as an Indian replica of Twitter, now X (that blamed failed attempts at partnerships and harsh funding winter for its closure), and Nithin Kamath-backed edtech Stoa School. "Update: We are shutting down Blip after building for over a year. We have finally called it a day. While we continue to believe in this space, bootstrapping the business with limited capital made it extremely difficult for us to participate in the market," Agarwal wrote in a post. The Blip model, being different from the rest, did a lot of first-in-market implementations that took its own time to convince stakeholders. It affected a go-to-market strategy and "slowed things considerably down for us", he said. "The result of limited working capital and failure to implement our go-to-market in an efficient manner, it didn't make sense for us to continue, and hence, we had to make a difficult choice to shut blip down," he said. Agarwal conceded that he personally continues to believe in the space and understands the need for verticalisation of quick-commerce in general. "Sadly, it won't be us. I am extremely proud of what we did at blip. Being first in the market and changing the narratives with the resources we had kept me awake at night, but it was all worth it," he further said. Thanking co-founder Sarvesh Kedia, Agarwal said he couldn't have asked for a better partner, one who could take anything thrown at him, with rigour.
