"Design Belongs to India": Piyush Goyal's Bold Claim On Prada-Kolhapuri row

Time of India6 days ago
Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has reacted to the recent Prada-Kolhapuri chappal controversy, asserting that India will now receive due global credit for its iconic cultural products like the Kolhapuri chappals. Highlighting the UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), Goyal said the government is taking steps to protect GI-tagged Indian products from misuse abroad. He revealed the Kolhapuri chappal has an estimated international business potential of ₹8,000–10,000 crore and is gaining attention from top global brands. The remarks come after Prada was served a ₹500 crore notice for allegedly infringing GI rights, a charge the brand denied.#piyushgoyal #kolhapurichappal #pradacontroversy #indiaukfta #giproducts #indianheritage #traditionmeetsfashion #makeinindia #kolhapurstyle #brandindia #fta2025 #giinfringement #indiaglobalstyle

Rajya Sabha is set to take up significant legislative and procedural business, including a statutory resolution seeking the extension of President's Rule in Manipur and the consideration of the Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2025. Union Home Minister Amit Shah will move a resolution for approval of the continuance in force of the Proclamation dated February 13, 2025, in respect of Manipur, issued under Article 356 of the Constitution by the President, for a further period of six months with effect from August 13, 2025, according to the List of Business issued by the Rajya Sabha.

Rajya Sabha will also take up the further consideration for the passing of the Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2025, moved by Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal on July 23.

Additionally, Union Minister Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani and Ravneet Singh are expected to make statements regarding the status of implementation of recommendations made by various Parliamentary Committees, particularly in departments of Rural Development and Railways.

First ‘Make in India' 1-MW green hydrogen plant commissioned in Gujarat

Rajkot: Deendayal Port Authority (DPA) on Thursday commissioned the country's first 'Make in India' one megawatt (MW) green hydrogen plant, at Kandla. This is the first phase of a planned 10MW facility and is the first such development at an Indian port. Union shipping minister Sarbananda Sonowal inaugurated the plant, calling it a "new benchmark" in the execution of green hydrogen projects. "DPA has demonstrated a shining example of speed, scale and skill," he said. The plant was set up in four months and is fully indigenous. The electrolyzer used to produce the hydrogen is made in India, and the entire project was led by Indian engineers. The green hydrogen generated will initially power 11 buses and street lighting within the port. Over time, DPA aims to use it to fuel all the resources of the port. DPA chairman S K Singh told TOI, "Another 5MW will be added by the end of this fiscal year, with the full 10MW facility expected to be operational by the middle of the next fiscal year." "DPA becomes the first port in India to operationalize a Make-In-India green hydrogen facility of this scale, capable of producing approximately 140 metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually. This breakthrough marks a pivotal step in maritime decarbonization , enhancing India's global leadership in sustainable port operations," DPA said in a statement. Green hydrogen has many applications such as fuel for power plants, vehicles, tugs and vessels. The foundation stone for the plant was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 26 during his visit to Bhuj.
