India-EU trade deal brings together one-fourth of world economy: Comm Secy
The free trade agreement between India and the EU is 'truly a mother of all deals' as it brings together nearly one-fourth of the global economy, Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal said on Tuesday here.

Meta, TikTok and Snap are participating in an online safety ratings system
Numerous major social platforms including Meta, YouTube, TikTok and Snap say they will submit to a new external grading process that scores social platforms on how well they protect adolescent mental health. The program comes from the Mental Health Coalitions Safe Online Standards (SOS) initiative , which comprises about two dozen standards covering areas like platform policy, functionality, governance and transparency, content oversight and more. The SOS initiative is led by Dr. Dan Reidenberg, Managing Director of the National Council for Suicide Prevention. In announcing these companies' participation, the Mental Health Coalition writes SOS establishes clear, user-informed data for how social media, gaming, and digital platforms design products, protect users ages 1319, and address exposure to suicide and self-harm content. Participating companies will voluntarily submit documentation on their policies, tools, and product features, which will be evaluated by an independent panel of global experts. After evaluation, the platforms will be given one of three ratings . The highest achievable safety rating is use carefully, which comes with a blue badge that compliant platforms can display. Despite being the highest rating, the requirements seem fairly run-of-the-mill. The description includes things like reporting tools are accessible and easy to use, and privacy, default and safety functions are clear and easy to set for parents. As for what actions the standards ask of the companies being rated, the use carefully rating says platforms and filters help reduce exposure to harmful or inappropriate content. The other ratings include partial protection which is described in part as some safety tools exist on the platforms, but can be hard to find or use, and does not meet standards which would be given if filters and content moderation do not reliably block harmful or unsafe content. The Mental Health Coalition, founded in 2020, has mentioned Facebook and Meta as partners since the early days of the organization. In 2021 the organization said it would bring together leading mental health experts partner with Facebook and Instagram to destigmatize mental health and connect people to resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022 the nonprofit published a case study with support from Meta that found mental health content on social media can reduce stigma while increasing individuals likelihood to seek resources, therefore positively impacting mental health. In 2024, the MHC in partnership with Meta launched a campaign called the Time Well Spent Challenge . In it, the group urged parents to have meaningful conversations with teens about healthy social media use, focusing less on whether teens should be on these apps at all and more on keeping them on-platform in a time well spent way, from reduced screen time to using social media for good and reviewing their feeds together. That same year it partnered with Meta again to establish Thrive , a program that allows tech companies to share data regarding materials that violate self-harm or suicide content guidelines. The Mental Health Coalition lists Meta as a creative partner on its website. Last year it was alleged that Meta buried internal data showing the ill effects of its products on users' mental health. The internal research, dubbed Project Mercury, began in 2020. Since then the company has introduced some bare-minimum attempts at addressing mental health concerns, such as Instagram teen accounts . Meta is now on trial in California facing allegations over child harm from addictive products, the first in a series of upcoming lawsuits against the social media giant. Other companies participating in the rating program include Roblox, which has recently faced stiff accusations over the wellbeing of children on the platform, and Discord which has beefed up its age-verification processes in response to its own serious child endangerment concerns .

Infrastructure Push in the Budget Sets the Tone for Real Estate Growth Beyond Metros
The Union Budget 2026-27 has given infrastructure a pivotal role in economic growth, and this has created a conducive environment for the growth of the real estate sector. The increased government spending on infrastructure, the renewed focus on future-ready infrastructure, and the efforts to develop Tier II and Tier III cities while setting aside a corpus of Rs. 5000 crores under City Economic Region plan for each city including temple towns, are an indication of the governments intentions to develop growth hubs beyond the metros. For developers, this has created greater clarity on connectivity, urban development, and planned development, and has also helped to instill confidence in the residential and commercial sectors. Infrastructure Push in the Budget Sets the Tone for Real Estate Growth Beyond Metros Rajjath Goel, Managing Director, MRG Group says, " With a capital expenditure push of Rs.12.2 lakh crore, the Budget gives a clear signal that infrastructure remains a top priority, and the ripple effects for real estate are substantial. Upgraded roads, transit networks, and urban utilities will not only make developments more viable but also enhance delivery timelines and asset quality. For developers, investors, and buyers, such predictable and well-planned infrastructure creates a stronger, more resilient market. Beyond improving connectivity, these investments are expected to generate significant employment across allied sectors, supporting sustainable urban growth. " Pankaj Jain, Founder and CMD, SPJ Group, says The Union Budget 2026 has shed significant focus on the infrastructure with a forward-looking approach. The Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund is a timely measure that will help ease financial constraints, particularly for projects linked to urban redevelopment and regional connectivity. When backed by the governments increased capital expenditure push to Rs. 12.2 lakh crore, this added layer of financial assurance can significantly improve lender confidence and accelerate project execution. In metro cities, where large-scale infrastructure upgrades directly influence real estate viability, faster delivery and better coordination can enhance asset quality and unlock redevelopment potential. Importantly, assured funding for infrastructure strengthens the backbone on which real estate development depends, like roads, transit, utilities and public amenities. Over time, this will not only de-risk long-gestation projects but also support more sustainable and well-planned urban growth, reinforcing the long-term outlook for residential, commercial and mixed-use developments across key city markets . Sanjay Sharma, Director, SKA Group, says, Beyond new infrastructure announcements, what stands out in Budget 2026s announcement is the emphasis on execution efficiency, which has a direct bearing on the real estate sector. The scheme to enhance construction and infrastructure equipment can help developers improve productivity, manage costs better, and deliver projects on time; an increasingly important factor for homebuyers and investors. The expansion of infrastructure across metros, Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, supported by a Rs.12.2 lakh crore capital expenditure allocation, strengthens growth corridors that typically catalyse residential and commercial development. Improved connectivity through high-speed rail will further integrate regional markets, widening the real estate opportunity landscape. As economic reforms gradually ease financing conditions, developer confidence is likely to improve, encouraging more organised and professionally managed developments across Indias urban spectru m. Shyamrup Roy Choudhury, Founder & Managing Director, Aura World , says, " The increase in capital expenditure to Rs. 12.2 lakh crore, along with initiatives such as City Economic Regions with Rs. 5,000 crore allocation per region over five years, including temple towns as well as focus on tier 2 and 3 cities provides clearer visibility for residential project planning. Improved connectivity and risk mitigation make non-metro cities more viable for real estate development. The setting up of the Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund will also accelerate further expansion. " Sanchit Bhutani, Manging Director, Group 108, says, The Union Budgets continued focus on infrastructure and capital expenditure is a positive step for commercial real estate. Initiatives like the Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund will help improve funding confidence and make large office projects more viable. Better connectivity through high-speed rail corridors will also support the growth of Grade A office spaces across major business markets, creating a strong foundation for long-term demand . Yash Miglani, MD, Migsun Group, says, The Union Budget 2026 represents a strong thrust towards the development of Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, which will be the source of the next wave of growth in the urban and commercial sectors. Improved connectivity, urban services and logistics will make these markets far more viable for organised commercial and mixed use developments. From Migsun Group's perspective, the launch of the Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund is a welcome step, as it reduces funding risks and promotes private-sector investment in long gestation projects . Sauarb Saharan, Group Managing Director, HCBS Developments, says, The real estate sector views this Budget as a steady and balanced push towards infrastructure-led growth rather than a headline-driven catalyst. The introduction of dedicated REITs and the Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund is particularly significant, as it improves funding confidence and reduces execution risk for large-scale projects. Coupled with the increased capital expenditure outlay of Rs. 12.2 lakh crore and continued focus on infrastructure development, these measures create a stable environment for the entire real estate sector. While, improved connectivity and infrastructure, particularly in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, are expected to unlock new residential and commercial opportunities. We foresee this Budget to continue establishing a solid foundation for gradual and inclusive growth across Indias realty sector. Mohit Batra, Regional Director, Realistic Realtors, says, " The budget provides a strong signal of policy continuity and long-term stability for the real estate sector. Measures such as the introduction of dedicated REITs and the Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund will help improve funding confidence and reduce execution risks for large-scale projects, making the sector more predictable for investors and developers. Combined with the increased capital expenditure of Rs.12.2 lakh crore and a continued focus on infrastructure development, the Budget is likely to drive better connectivity, more organised urban expansion, and stronger fundamentals across both residential and commercial markets. Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, in particular, stand to benefit from improved infrastructure, which can unlock new opportunities. " Preksha Singh, CEO of Agrasheel Infratech, says, S upporting infrastructure and professional institutions in smaller cities through the budget will create new employment and business opportunities there. When transport, roads, and urban amenities are strengthened together, the real estate sector witnesses balanced and sustainable growth. Measures such as REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) will help developers overcome funding constraints, making Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities better options for both end-users and investors. Ashok Singh Jaunapuria, MD & CEO of SS Group, says, Budget 2026 has placed special emphasis on infrastructure, urban development, and the real estate sector. This will accelerate the pace of projects, strengthen investor confidence, and open up new opportunities across residential, commercial, and mixed-use segments. Overall, the budget will help propel the real estate sector towards sustainable growth and innovation . Viren Mehta, Founder & Director, ElitePro Infra, says, Recent policy initiatives outlined in the budget solidify infrastructure as the key driver of real estate growth in the next few years. Increased capital expenditure, focus on REITs for asset monetisation of CPSE lands, are positive factors that will add thrust to the real estate sector. Setting up the Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund and City Economic Regions with Rs. 5,000 crore allocation per region over five years, including temple towns as well as tier 2 and 3 cities, will ensure that the real estate horizon expands well beyond its core areas. This budget envisages long-term real estate growth that capitalises on Indias economic development. The Budgets infrastructure-centric approach has created greater certainty for real estate planning and investment. With growth expected to spread to smaller cities and new economic hubs, developers are looking at a more balanced and sustainable growth opportunity. The focus on decentralisation in urbanisation is expected to bring about a paradigm shift in demand and create new opportunities in emerging markets.
