RBI monetary panel member sees no challenges in Indian economy growing over 6.5 pc in FY26

India's Economy to Grow Over 6.5% with Inflation Near 2%, RBI Eyes Rate Cuts and Trade Balance
A member of the Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee stated that the Indian economy is expected to grow over 6.5% in the current and next fiscal years, driven primarily by domestic consumption and investment. Inflation is currently around 2%, within the RBI's target range, though further rate cuts will depend on broader macroeconomic trends. Regarding the proposed bilateral trade agreement with the United States, India is cautious about opening sensitive sectors like agriculture and dairy, seeking to protect domestic interests while gaining access to US markets for labor-intensive goods. India also aims to remove additional US tariffs on steel, aluminum, and autos and reserves the right to impose retaliatory duties under WTO rules. Foreign direct investment inflows have increased despite net outflows due to repatriation, with a positive outlook for continued growth in FDI attracted by India's robust economic performance.

Congress seeks court-monitored CBI probe into organic cotton 'scam' in MP

Political party demands probe into fraud under National Organic Production Program certification rules
A political party has called for a court-supervised investigation by the central investigative agency into an alleged large-scale fraud involving the sale of conventional cotton as organic cotton in a central Indian state. The fraud reportedly involves manipulation of certification processes under a national organic production program, with many farmers falsely listed as organic producers without their knowledge. This has led to significant financial gains for certain traders through the sale of non-organic cotton at premium prices, alongside substantial tax evasion. The scandal has damaged the country's reputation in the global organic market, resulting in the revocation of certifications by international bodies. The party demands the establishment of a special investigation team led by the central agency and overseen by a high court judge, along with transparent certification inspections and compensation for affected farmers.
