RBI holds interest rates for second time in a row
GST
Dated:- 1-10-2025
PTI
Mumbai, Oct 1 (PTI) Reserve Bank of India expectedly left its key interest rates unchanged on Wednesday as it waited for greater clarity on the impact of US tariffs as well as playout of earlier rate cuts and recent tax reductions.
RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra, however, signalled scope for easing in the coming months to support the economy from any possible hit from US tariffs.
The six-member monetary policy committee voted unanimously to keep the repurchase rate unchanged at 5.5 per cent and decided to continue with a “neutral” policy stance, giving it flexibility to move in either direction if needed in future.

50 per cent tariff on imports from India as well as the tightening of H1-B visa norms.
The rupee, Asia's worst-performing currency this year, rose 0.1 per cent to 88.70 per dollar, while stocks traded higher.
In holding interest rates, the RBI seems to be trying to balance competing priorities: subdued inflation and growth risks from US tariffs on one side, and the rupee's slide on the other.
Malhotra said the growth outlook remains resilient, supported by domestic drivers, despite weak external demand. “It is likely to get further support from a favourable monsoon, lower inflation, monetary easing and the salubrious impact of recent GST reforms.” Growth continues to be below aspirations.

Consumer price inflation came in at 2.07 per cent in August.
Malhotra also announced measures to boost credit growth amidst easing foreign exchange rules, infra financing, new universal bank licensing draft, internationalisation of rupee, easing limits for lending against shares and other financial instruments.
Overall, the policy had a strong tilt to support growth via other measures while noting that rate cuts will happen down the road.
The MPC kept its policy stance neutral, although two external members – Nagesh Kumar and Ram Singh – saw reason to shift to an accommodative stance.

RBI raises FY26 GDP growth projection to 6.8 pc, lowers inflation forecast to 2.6 pc
GST
Dated:- 1-10-2025
PTI
Mumbai, Oct 1 (PTI) The Reserve Bank on Wednesday revised upward its growth estimates for the current fiscal year to 6.8 per cent and lowered its inflation projection to 2.6 per cent based on an above-normal monsoon and the rationalisation of GST rates.
In August, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) projected a 6.5 per cent GDP growth rate for 2025-26, along with an inflation forecast of 3.1 per cent.
Announcing the bi-monthly monetary policy, Reserve Bank Governor Sanjay Malhotra said significant developments on the domestic front, amid a rapidly changing global economic landscape, have altered the narrative on growth-

er cent.
Malhotra further said inflation conditions remained benign during 2025-26 so far, with actual outcomes turning out to be significantly lower than projected.
Low inflation, he said, is primarily attributed to a sharp fall in food inflation, aided by improved supply prospects and government measures to manage the supply chain effectively.
Core inflation remained largely contained with the August reading at 4.2 per cent, despite continued price pressures on precious metals.
“CPI inflation for 2025-26 is now projected at 2.6 per cent with Q2 at 1.8 per cent; Q3 at 1.8 per cent; and Q4 at 4.0 per cent,” Malhotra added. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) based inflation for the first quarter of 2026-27 is projected at 4.5 per cent. P

India's manufacturing activity falls to 4-month low in Sep as new orders, output moderate
GST
Dated:- 1-10-2025
PTI
New Delhi, Oct 1 (PTI) India's manufacturing sector activity eased in September, as new orders, output and input buying rose at the slowest rates in four months, while job creation retreated to a one-year low, a monthly survey said on Wednesday.
The seasonally adjusted HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index moderated from 59.3 in August to 57.7 in September, pointing to the weakest improvement in the health of the sector since May, even as tax relief has boosted business optimism for the year ahead.

On the price front, the survey, which took place between 10 and 24 September, indicated quicker increases in input costs and selling prices. The overall rate of inflation was solid and the quickest since May, though it remained below its long-run average.
Monitored firms suggested that greater outlays on labour, raw materials and transportation prompted hikes to output prices, which were facilitated by positive demand trends. The rate of charge inflation reached a near 12-year high.
Going ahead, Indian companies continued to signal upbeat forecasts for production in the coming 12 months. Moreover, the overall level of confidence rose to a seven-month high.

Addressing Regulatory Gaps and High GST, Rodl & Partner Paper Calls for Policy Reforms to Unlock India's $2B Pet Food Industry

New Delhi, Delhi, India (NewsVoir) Alongside World Food India 2025, organized by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI), Rodl & Partner released a landmark paper outlining strategic pathways to strengthen India’s fast-growing pet food sector. MoFPI and EY also co-hosted a special session on “India’s Pet Food Industry: Scaling for Domestic & Global Growth” at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan.
The paper highlighted that India’s pet food market is expanding rapidly with the country’s pet population at an estimated 42.2 million in 2024, projected to surpass 100 million by 2035. In revenue terms, the industry was valued at USD 720 million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2 billion by 2035. While dog food accounts for over 85% of the market, cat food is the fastest-growing segment, and e-commerce has

Salil Murthy, Managing Director, Mars Petcare India said, “India is home to over 35 million pets today, a number set to double within the next five to seven years. Yet, penetration of manufactured pet food remains below 10% in Indian households, compared to near-universal adoption in developed markets. Unlocking the true potential of India’s pet food sector requires three structural shifts: First, a responsible and science-aligned regulatory framework to build consumer trust and ensure transparency.

When policies treat pet nutrition as essential rather than optional, India will be able to close the nutrition gap and align with global best practices.” On the Day 1 of the WFI event, Ministry of Food Processing Industries highlighted the pet food sector's strategic alignment with the Make in India initiative. At the CEO roundtable, the Ministry called for a harmonized, science-backed regulatory framework that would secure nutrition and consumer trust.

Bengal’s 2025 Durga Puja economy rebounds by 10-15 pc to Rs 46,000–50,000 cr
GST
Dated:- 30-9-2025
PTI
Kolkata, Sep 30 (PTI) West Bengal’s Durga Puja economy in 2025 rebounded strongly, expanding by an estimated 10–15 per cent to touch around Rs 46,000–50,000 crore after a decline last year, stakeholders said.
Buoyant corporate sponsorships, healthy footfalls in malls, rising spending on consumer goods and a positive sentiment among people are major contributors to the growth, they said.
The festival – recognised by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage- remains a major economic driver for Bengal, thriving retail, hospitality, transport and handicraft sectors, and it is often believed that business activities surrounding the Durga Puja contribute at least a third of the state’s GDP.
State Finance Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya told PTI that Bengal’s Puja economy will definitely “see strong growth this year”.
“This year, the puja economy will definit

sponsorship market was “very good,” with major clubs raising rates.
“The average hike was around 15 per cent. Several big puja committees also raised their rates, but they are more cautious on budgets than last year,” he said.
This year, analysts and industry insiders estimated that the “overall puja market would be at Rs 46,000–50,000 crore, marking a turnaround with corporate houses returning to offer sponsorships, malls posting healthy footfalls and discretionary spending on consumer goods rising sharply”.
In 2024, Bengal’s Puja economy was estimated at around Rs 42,000 crore, contracting by 20–30 per cent due to inflation, muted corporate spending and weak sentiment.
The rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar hospital and widespread agitations cast a shadow on the festive spirit last year, and businesses were adversely impacted.
Notably, a 2019 British Council report had pegged the Puja-linked creative industries in Bengal at Rs 32,377 crore.
This year, however,

fter the GST rationalisation grew 23–25 per cent year-on-year—a four to five-fold jump in growth compared with last year’s muted start.
Premium smartphones and TVs led the surge, with loyalty members driving record demand, it said.
But beneath the buoyant figures lies a sharp divide—while organised retail, automobiles and corporate advertising thrived, hawkers and small traders said the season was subdued due to a shift in spending towards e-commerce platforms.
The National Hawkers Federation said the season was “very bad,” similar to the downturn during the Covid crisis.
“Online businesses have eaten 40 per cent of hawkers’ income. Even small shopkeepers have suffered badly. A single day of rain in Kolkata ahead of Durga puja made it worse,” federation president Saktiman Ghosh told PTI.
The city faced unprecedented rain in a single day, which caused a fall in revenue for small businesses.

PTI
Chandigarh, Sep 29 (PTI) Punjab incurred a loss of Rs 1.11 lakh crore in the past eight years following the implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST), Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said on Monday.
Cheema was speaking in the House on the concluding day of the state Assembly session on the Punjab Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
Highlighting the adverse impact on Punjab, Cheema said the state's pre-GST revenue neutral rate was 18.3 per cent, significantly higher than the country's average rate of 14 per cent.

Cheema accused the BJP-led Centre of “systematically undermining” the Constitution, citing policies like 'One Nation One Tax' and 'One Nation One Election' as “destructive” to the federal structure.
He also addressed concerns raised by Leader of the Opposition Pratap Singh Bajwa regarding the GST system, referring to an article by former Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram.
Cheema recalled that the proposal for GST was originally brought forward by Chidambaram himself in 2006, but was not implemented by the then UPA government due to opposition.
He said the BJP-led NDA government later advanced the concept on the principle of 'One-Nation One-Tax,' which the then Punjab Finance Minister, Manpreet Singh Badal, had agreed to

PM Modi slams ‘bayan bahadur’ Oppn, says household savings rose under BJP’s good governance

New Delhi, Sep 29 (PTI) Dismissing the Opposition’s criticism of his government’s GST measures as lies of “bayan bahadur”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday that the BJP-NDA ushered in a “new model of good governance” and a family will now save nearly Rs 20,000 on its annual household expenditure of Rs 1 lakh compared to the UPA period.
Speaking at the inauguration of Delhi BJP headquarters here, Modi asked party workers to ensure that the benefits of next-generation GST reforms reach people, especially in opposition-ruled states, asserting that the decision, along with the rise in Income Tax exemption, will save citizens Rs 2.5 lakh crore every year.

“Our governments focused on delivery and increasing the savings of common people,” he said, noting that the Income Tax exemption limit was only Rs 2,00,000 during the UPA rule, while it is Rs 12,00,000 now.
Asking BJP workers to reach out to customers as well as traders for promoting swadeshi, Modi appealed for reducing the country’s dependence on foreign goods.
“The less our dependence on foreign products is, the better it will be,” he said, reiterating a point the prime minister has been especially vocal about since the US imposed a high tariff of 50 per cent on Indian goods.
“We have to adopt swadeshi to make India self-reliant,” he said, calling for making it a movement across the country.
The BJP is in government not for “satta” (power) but 'seva' (service), and its offices keep alive this sentiment, Modi said after inaugurating the office and asked party members to ensure that the new building is a place where people’s grievances are heard and addressed.

PM Modi slams ‘bayan bahadur’ Oppn, says household savings rose under BJP’s good governance
GST

PTI
New Delhi, Sep 29 (PTI) Dismissing the Opposition’s criticism of his government’s GST measures as lies of “bayan bahadur”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday that the BJP-NDA ushered in a “new model of good governance” and a family will now save nearly Rs 20,000 on its annual household expenditure of Rs 1 lakh compared to the UPA period.
Speaking at the inauguration of Delhi BJP headquarters here, Modi asked party workers to ensure that the benefits of next-generation GST reforms reach people, especially in opposition-ruled states, asserting that the decision, along with the rise in Income Tax exemption, will save citizens Rs 2.5 lakh crore every year.
He accused the Congress government in Himachal Pradesh of indulging in “loot” by hiking the levy on cement soon after GST relief brought its price down, as he hit back at the Opposition for the cr

d on delivery and increasing the savings of common people,” he said, noting that the Income Tax exemption limit was only Rs 2,00,000 during the UPA rule, while it is Rs 12,00,000 now.
Asking BJP workers to reach out to customers as well as traders for promoting swadeshi, Modi appealed for reducing the countryÂ’s dependence on foreign goods.
“The less our dependence on foreign products is, the better it will be,” he said, reiterating a point the prime minister has been especially vocal about since the US imposed a high tariff of 50 per cent on Indian goods.
“We have to adopt swadeshi to make India self-reliant,” he said, calling for making it a movement across the country.
The BJP is in government not for “satta” (power) but 'seva' (service), and its offices keep alive this sentiment, Modi said after inaugurating the office and asked party members to ensure that the new building is a place where peopleÂ’s grievances are heard and addressed.
BJP offices are no less than temples for

vernments celebrating the festival of lights, and added a similar spirit of joy will overwhelm people in different regions of India when they see their festivals being celebrated in Delhi.
He said the Delhi government, headed by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, has been working hard to boost development and expand various pro-people services in the city. He said the party members should work in coordination to ensure that it becomes one of the best capitals in the world.
Making a strong pitch for promoting swadeshi goods, Modi said BJP members must ensure that there is a board on every shop with 'Garv se kaho ye swadeshi hai' written on it.
