India-Japan trade ties outpacing China engagement: Report

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS) Japans business engagement with India is steadily accelerating and now outpaces the growth of Japan-China business engagement, a new report has said, highlighting the importance of Prime Minister Takaichi Sanaes recent visit to India. The report from Japanese news site Nippon.com said Tokyo is stepping up investment, defence cooperation and technology partnerships. Tokyo and New Delhi also committed to greater energy security cooperation and strengthening critical mineral supply chain resilience, the report said, saying the visit urned out to be a meaningful one for the bilateral relationship. The cumulative total of direct Japanese investment in India between April 2000 and March 2026 came to $48.1 billion, putting Japan in fifth place, the report said, adding that Japanese investment in 2025 alone was $3.74 billion and bilateral trade crossed $25 billion in the same fiscal year. Japan continues to maintain a substantial trade surplus with India, but India is redoubling efforts to diversify its own export sectors (including seafood, textiles, and jewellery) and destinations, the report noted. India took the top spot in JBICs Report on Overseas Business Operations by Japanese Companies in 2025 for the fourth consecutive year, as the most promising business expansion destination over the next three years. Another popular survey found over 75 per cent of Japanese companies operating in India expect a profit in the current financial year. Japans public and private sectors, facing a shortage of science and technology talent, have intensified their efforts to recruit Indian engineers and technical experts through internships and corporate partnerships, the report said. As a nation facing a declining birthrate and a shortage of skilled workers, we must push forward with India in developing new markets, strengthening supply chains, and forging new people-to-people relations, the report noted.

Gulf countries, Qatar keen on investing in India's refining sector

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS) While major energy producers in the Gulf, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, have expressed strong interest in funding oil refinery projects in India, New Delhi is also looking at sourcing more investment from Qatar, according to an article. The initiative supports Indias plan to increase national refining capacity from 5.4mn barrels per day (bpd) to over 6.2mn bpd to meet rising domestic fuel requirements, according to the article in the Gulf Times. The article highlights that India is also broadening its diplomatic outreach to Qatar to secure institutional capital across the broader energy value chain. In April, during a two-day official visit to Doha, Indias Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri met Qatars Minister of State for Energy Affairs Saad Sherida al-Kaabi, who is also President and CEO of QatarEnergy, to discuss strategic relations, trade, investment, and maritime supply chain security, it noted. During the meeting, both officials reaffirmed bilateral energy cooperation while stressing the necessity of maintaining stability in global fuel supplies and ensuring unhindered maritime commerce during regional disruptions, according to state-run Qatar News Agency (QNA). While trade between the two nations has historically been anchored by long-term liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply agreements, bilateral dialogue is increasingly focusing on mutual equity participation in processing assets, the website of the Indian Embassy in Qatar stated. Long-term gas trade remains a central pillar, highlighted by Petronet LNGs 20-year contract extension in 2024 to purchase 7.5mn tonnes of LNG annually from QatarEnergy through July 2028 and beyond. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman held a discussion on September 29 with her Qatar counterpart Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari on the implementation of the $10 billion Qatari investment commitment in India and finalisation of the Bilateral Investment Treaty. At the meeting held on the sidelines of the AIIB 2026 annual meeting in Doha, the two Finance Ministers also discussed the expansion of Indian UPI payments across Qatar and the Gulf nations engagement with the National Infrastructure and Investment Fund of India, according to a Finance Ministry statement. The ministers also discussed the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement as a strengthened framework for trade, investment and tax certainty between the two countries. The Finance Minister appreciated the excellent arrangements for the AIIB Annual Meeting. She recalled Indias recent engagements with Qatars leadership, which elevated India-Qatar bilateral relations to a strategic partnership. Al Kuwari thanked the Indian community for being part of the success story of Qatar. He looked forward to bigger opportunities for strengthening trade, finance and investment relations between the two countries, the statement added.

Honey Singh fails to appear before Maharashtra Cyber Cell, requests more time in controversial remark case

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 5 (IANS) Rapper and music producer Yo Yo Honey Singh was summoned by Maharashtra Cyber Cell for questioning on Monday. However, the rapper failed to appear before the Maharashtra Cyber. As per Maharashtra Cyber Cell, the rapper was asked to appear in person before the investigating officer through a notice, and record his statement. However, the rapper has sought more time from Maharashtra Cyber to appear before the investigating officer. The issue stems from a controversial remark by the rapper at one of his concerts in Delhi. Honey Singh had allegedly made indecent remarks during a concert. After this, a person filed a complaint against Honey Singh in Maharashtra Cyber. Based on this complaint, Maharashtra Cyber is investigating the case and Honey Singh was summoned for questioning in this regard. Earlier this year, Honey was seen making a sleazy remark in a viral clip, seemingly asking people to have sex in cars, a moment that left many social media users unimpressed and angry. He later addressed his controversial remark, as he posted a video on social media and tendered an apology. He earlier said in the video, A video of mine has been going viral on Instagram since morning, edited in a way that's offended many people. I want to tell you the whole story. My intention was never to hurt, insult, or offend anyone. A few days prior to the incident, I had interactions with a leading gynaecologist and sexologist who shared about the rising concerns of sexually transmitted diseases among the younger generation due to unprotected sex. This conversation stayed with me. While being a guest at the show of Nanku and Karun, and seeing a large number of Gen Z in the audience, I tried to convey a message about the importance of protection in a language which they would refer to which is used in OTT they watch, he added.

Oil market risks rising as inventories shrink, Hormuz reopening crucial: Saudi Aramco CEO

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS) Global oil stockpiles have fallen to alarmingly low levels, leaving energy markets vulnerable to further supply disruptions unless the Strait of Hormuz fully reopens, Saudi Aramco Chief Executive Amin Nasser said on Monday. Speaking at the Energy Intelligence Forum in London, Nasser said emergency releases of strategic petroleum reserves by major economies may provide short-term relief but would not resolve underlying supply-demand imbalances in global energy markets. Oil inventories that normally cushion markets against shocks have become scarily thin, Nasser said He warned that pressure on both crude oil and refined fuel markets is likely to intensify until confidence returns and shipping through Hormuz normalises. His comments came days after major economies announced plans to release up to 100 million barrels of emergency oil and diesel reserves to contain rising fuel prices. According to Nasser, rebuilding depleted inventories could take as long as two years even after the critical shipping route reopens fully. The Strait of Hormuz -- a key conduit for global energy trade -- has faced disruptions since the outbreak of conflict following US and Israeli attacks on Iran earlier this year. However, Gulf producers have stepped up efforts to restore exports, lifting crude shipments to levels approaching those seen before the conflict. Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait have increasingly relied on their own tanker fleets to move crude through the waterway. Saudi Aramco has also boosted exports from its Ras Tanura terminal and restored flows on its East-West pipeline to about 80% of capacity after a recent attack temporarily disrupted operations. Despite higher export volumes, oil markets continue to factor in geopolitical and security risks in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea. Moreover, international oil benchmark Brent crude has traded around the $100-per-barrel mark over the past month which reflects concerns over potential supply interruptions.

Sanchar Saathi crosses 30 crore visits, helps recover over 14 lakh lost and stolen mobiles

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS) The Sanchar Saathi portal, developed by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), has recorded more than 30 crore visits since its launch in May 2023, reflecting growing public participation in the fight against telecom-enabled frauds and cybercrime, it was announced on Monday. According to the Ministry of Communications, the platform has evolved into a key citizen-centric tool that enables users to report suspected fraud calls, SMS messages and WhatsApp communications, check mobile connections linked to their identity, block lost or stolen handsets, and verify the authenticity of mobile phones before purchase. The ministry said that every report filed by citizens helps generate actionable intelligence for telecom authorities, banks and law enforcement agencies. Describing users as Cyber Warriors, it noted that information shared through the platform helps identify fraudulent numbers, devices and emerging scam patterns, enabling authorities to take preventive action before more people become victims. One of the portal's major services, Chakshu, allows users to report suspicious communications such as fake KYC requests, fraudulent investment schemes, impersonation by government officials, and bogus job or loan offers. The ministry said Chakshu has received 12.80 lakh reports of suspected fraudulent communications, leading to action in nearly 59.82 lakh cases, including the disconnection of more than 50 lakh mobile connections. The portal has also become a key tool for managing mobile connections issued in an individual's name. More than four crore citizen requests related to checking and reporting mobile connections have been resolved so far, helping prevent misuse of SIM cards obtained through stolen or fraudulent identities. In the area of handset security, Sanchar Saathi has enabled users to block 60.96 lakh lost or stolen mobile phones across telecom networks. Of these, 37.85 lakh handsets have been traced and over 14 lakh recovered through coordination among DoT, telecom service providers and state police authorities. The ministry further said that data generated through citizen reports feeds into the Financial Fraud Risk Indicator (FRI), a system that assesses the risk associated with mobile numbers potentially linked to financial fraud. The intelligence is shared through the Digital Intelligence Platform (DIP) with banks, payment service providers, telecom operators and law enforcement agencies to strengthen fraud detection and prevent suspicious transactions.

Oman overtakes US as Indias top LNG supplier in September

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS) Oman emerged as Indias largest supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in September by replacing the United States as the country continued to diversify energy imports amid ongoing geopolitical disruptions in West Asia, according to a report. According to data from Kpler, India imported 585,000 tonnes of LNG from Oman during September, up 11.6 per cent from August, giving the Gulf nation a 27 per cent share of total LNG imports. Nigeria became the second-largest supplier with shipments of 351,000 tonnes, although volumes were down 35 per cent from the previous month. The US, which had topped the supplier list in August with 848,000 tonnes, slipped to third place after exports to India declined 59 per cent, accounting for 16 per cent of September imports. Qatar, once India's dominant LNG supplier with a market share of around 45 per cent, fell to sixth position and supplied about 94,000 tonnes during the month. The UAE supplied 311,000 tonnes, while Angola exported 205,000 tonnes to India. The sharp decline in Qatari supplies follows disruptions caused by Iran's strike on Ras Laffan Industrial City in March, a key LNG production hub and a major source of natural gas exports to India. Moreover, India's overall LNG imports declined 14 per cent month-on-month to 2.17 million tonnes in September from 2.5 million tonnes in August. Natural gas plays an important role in fertiliser production, industrial heating, power generation and urban transportation. India imports nearly half of its LNG requirements, with about 60 per cent of shipments from West Asian suppliers such as Qatar and the UAE transiting through the Strait of Hormuz. In addition, the government has increased efforts to diversify energy sourcing across LNG, LPG and crude oil, adding supplies from countries including Canada, Algeria, the US and emerging LNG producers such as Mozambique and Brazil to reduce exposure to geopolitical risks. Analysts noted that while India's crude oil imports are relatively insulated because of diversified sourcing, LNG and LPG imports remain more vulnerable to supply and shipping disruptions in the Gulf due to limited short-term alternatives.

Temple wearable may aid pilot fitness checks, military readiness: Deepinder Goyal

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS) Deepinder Goyal, founder of food delivery and quick commerce platform Zomato, has said that Temple, the company's upcoming wearable device, could eventually find applications far beyond health tracking, including in aviation and defence, where physiological data may help assess an individual's fitness for critical tasks. Responding to users on social media platform X, Goyal said the wearable could be used to determine whether pilots are fit to fly and help armed forces identify personnel best suited to undertake a mission on a given day. He was replying to a suggestion that Temple might help restaurant managers and chefs monitor stress levels during demanding work shifts. I would certainly have it on pilots to check if they are fit to fly. And on the air force to check who is the fittest to fly a mission today, Goyal wrote, indicating the broader potential of the technology beyond its current healthcare-focused use cases. The remarks highlight a possible future role for Temple in high-stakes environments where real-time physiological monitoring could support decision-making and readiness assessments. According to Goyal, data collected by the device could provide insights into a person's condition before undertaking activities that require high levels of concentration and performance. Goyal also outlined an ambitious long-term vision for the wearable, revealing that the company is researching technology that could eventually translate human thoughts into text. When asked whether Temple could one day understand a user's intentions and automatically trigger actions on a smartphone, he said work is already underway on the concept. We have a research team working on thoughts to text, but that looks like a few years away. Maybe the third or fourth version of Temple, he said. For now, the wearable is focused on physiological sensing and health monitoring. One of its flagship features, called BrainFlow, is designed to continuously track changes associated with blood flow to the brain. Goyal said Temple recently completed its second validation study involving 60 participants who were subjected to three different physiological challenges. According to the findings, BrainFlow demonstrated correlations ranging from 0.84 to 0.91 with brain blood-volume changes measured using time-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), a technology capable of distinguishing changes in blood volume between the brain and the scalp.

'I had only one goal that is to win trophies, says Abhishek on his impact-first approach

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS) Abhishek Sharma has credited the freedom provided by his teammates and coaches for allowing him to embrace an aggressive, impact-driven approach, saying his ambition has never been centred on personal milestones but on helping India and his teams win trophies. The 26-year-old, who was part of Indias ICC Mens T20 World Cup-winning side, discussed his playing philosophy ahead of the new home season against the West Indies. Abhishek traced the development of his mindset to his domestic cricket days, when he began placing greater emphasis on influencing matches rather than chasing individual numbers. When I started, I thought that I have to play in a way that I can play impactful innings for my team. That started from my Punjab team in domestic cricket and we won the domestic T20 competition in 2024. From there, I feel, a mindset developed that I dont have to chase milestones, because thats not in your hands. Whats in your hands is how much impact you can make. That is how I want to play, no matter what opposition we are playing. As an individual, I never had this urge that I should achieve this, achieve that. I had only one goal that I have to win trophies. I feel that you need a lot of support from the team, the management, the coaches, the captain, because they know how you play. I feel they have helped me quite a lot, the entire team, not just the support staff, even the players as well, senior players. So now, like it has happened for me when I was new, the new players should also get that freedom, they should feel that they belong here. So, I really enjoy that when I talk with Vaibhav or with other young players, Abhishek told JioStar. That backing, according to Abhishek, has been crucial in allowing him to play without being constrained by the pressure of reaching specific statistical targets.

Financial security provided him the means to acquire a home that once felt out of reach. He understood his family's needs and lifestyle preferences, making the decision easier than it might have been in earlier decades, when uncertainties were more prevalent.

Doing it once, I feel, is still easy: Abhishek Sharma wants Indias winning habit to continue

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS) Fresh from being part of Indias Asian Games gold-medal-winning campaign, Abhishek Sharma is looking beyond the celebrations, saying the challenge for the young Indian side is to turn its recent success into a sustained winning habit as they begin the new home season against the West Indies. The opener said repeating success requires the team to preserve the same processes and collective hunger that helped it win the World Cup. I feel, in cricket especially, when I came, I was 24, now I am 26, as a young cricketer, you tell yourself that theres still a lot to achieve, its just a start. Doing it once, I feel, is still easy, but making that thing a habit and doing it again and again, keeping the process the same, its not easy as a player. But if the atmosphere in the team is such that everyone wants to perform for each other, wants to make India win, wants to dominate, then I feel it becomes a habit and it definitely helps, Abhishek told JioStar. For Abhishek, the emphasis is therefore less on the achievement already secured and more on building an environment in which winning can become a recurring outcome. The 26-year-old believes a collective desire to succeed can help India maintain its intensity from one tournament to another. That approach also shapes the way he interacts with the next generation inside the dressing room, including 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has emerged as his young opening partner. Abhishek said the teenage batter has already gained enough exposure to understand the demands of professional cricket, while the senior members of the squad are making a conscious effort to ensure he feels at home. He is a very smart guy. He is not like how we used to behave at 15 or anyone does because he has already been in that cricket setup for 2-3 years. So he knows what, where, and how much to practice. I feel gradually these are things he will learn more with experience. And what we discuss in the team with each other, all teammates, is how we can make him more comfortable. Because we all know what he has achieved and that he belongs here. So I also feel like its my duty as well, to make him feel that all of us, his elder brothers, are here for him. You just have to enjoy and just give your best and win the games whenever you get the chance, he added. The West Indies series provides India with the first opportunity to build on their World Cup success in the new home season.

Look At China...: FM Nirmala Takes Aim At Trump Tariffs As India-US Trade Talks Hit Plateau

India and the US have reached a plateau in negotiations over their bilateral trade agreement, with further concessions likely to be very, very difficult, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said. Speaking at the Munich Leaders Meeting in New Delhi, she said talks remain ongoing but both sides may now have limited room for compromise. Sitharaman said the agreement is being hard and very rigorously negotiated, while noting that India currently runs a trade surplus with the US. Washington, she said, would naturally seek to reduce this imbalance and address what it sees as accumulated losses. She also pointed to a broader shift in global trade negotiations, saying tariffs are increasingly being used as an instrument alongside traditional negotiations. Despite the challenges, she stressed that both countries would need to find some give and take.

Delhi Jal Board rolls out cashless medical facility for 50,000 pensioners, CM Rekha Gupta attends launch event

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS) The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) on Monday launched a comprehensive cashless medical facility for around 50,000 pensioners and family pensioners, making it easier for them to access healthcare services without having to make upfront payments and subsequently seek reimbursement. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, PWD Minister Parvesh Verma, BJP MLA and Delhi Jal Board Vice Chairman Satish Upadhyay, and Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) Mayor Pravesh Wahi attended the launch event. Taking to X, Parvesh Verma said, Through this important initiative, a cashless medical facility will be available for treatment for the pensioners of Delhi Jal Board and their families, which will provide them more convenience and ease in availing health services. Delhi government Principal Secretary Rajiv Verma and Delhi Jal Board Chief Executive Officer Sajjan Singh Yadav, along with other senior officials, were also present at the event. Speaking to reporters after the programme, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said the initiative was launched as part of the 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan', under which various programmes are being organised to mark 25 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's service and his dedication towards serving the country. Under this, the needs of thousands of Delhi Jal Board employees and officers who have served in the department are being addressed, Gupta said. She said that the cashless medical facility would provide much-needed support to retired DJB employees and their families, particularly at a stage of life when they require greater assistance with healthcare. At this stage of their lives, when they needed government support, they did not have access to cashless medical facilities until now. This cashless service provided by our government is a great help for all the pensioners of the DJB... Now, they will be able to get their medical treatment easily, she added. Parvesh Verma said that before the introduction of the new facility, retired Delhi Jal Board employees were required to first bear the cost of their medical treatment and then approach the authorities to claim reimbursement. We have given the cashless services option to such 50,000 pensioners... This was their long-standing demand, but this was not fulfilled yet... We thought the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan is the best time to introduce this scheme, Verma told reporters. BJP MLA and Delhi Jal Board Vice Chairman Satish Upadhyay, speaking to IANS, said the scheme was an important step towards supporting employees had spent several decades serving the department. Under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, our Delhi Chief Minister has launched a cashless scheme for 50,000 pensioners who have worked for 30 to 40 years in the Jal Board and devoted their lives to it. For them to have to worry about their healthcare, this is a very sensitive and thoughtful decision, Upadhyay said. Speaking to IANS, MCD Mayor Pravesh Wahi also welcomed the initiative and credited the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Delhi government for its implementation. I express my gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision and to our Chief Minister for implementing it. Earlier, our Jal Board officers and employees who had retired and were above 60 years of age had to run around for treatment. They had to pay for their treatment and later seek reimbursement, Wahi said.

India yield curve expected to flatten as RBI withdraws liquidity: Report

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS) Indias government bond yield curve is expected to flatten further as the Reserve Bank of India steps up liquidity withdrawals, prompting some investors to favour 10year paper over fiveyear ones, a report has said. The report from NDTV Profit -- citing analysts -- said that the gap between five and 10year yields is expected to shrink as the RBI drains surplus cash from the banking system, putting upward pressure on shorterdated yields. The fiveyear benchmark yield, trading around 6.94 per cent, could rise to 7 per cent if the central bank maintains an aggressive policy tightening stance, the report cited ICICI Securities Primary Dealership. Analysts said that the short end should see further flattening as the RBI steers overnight rates near or above the repo rate to ensure effective transmission. They expect the five to 10year gap could narrow to as little as 10 bps and the curve could turn flat or mildly inverted if overnight rates move meaningfully above the repo. Excess banking system liquidity has kept overnight borrowing costs below the policy repo rate, prompting the RBI to absorb cash through market operations. The operations are putting upward pressure on shorter-dated yields. The central bank has already withdrawn over Rs 1 lakh crore and the pace of further cash absorption, alongside any additional rate hikes, will determine the extent of yield curve flattening. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) began its three-day Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting on Monday with a policy decision due on Wednesday. Markets are closely watching whether the Central Bank will raise the repo rate for the first time since February 2023. However, the central bank has kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.25 per cent. The balance of risks has tilted decisively towards a 25-bps rate hike by the RBI at this juncture, as a combination of broadening inflationary pressures, worsening global macros, evolving liquidity conditions and a renewed global repricing of risks is making the case for pre-emptive action stronger, SBI Research said in a report.

Next phase of GST reforms to make compliance easier: PM Modi

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday highlighted that the next phase of GST reforms will make compliance easier and improve the refund process, giving businesses greater confidence to invest and grow. This will strengthen the foundation for a Viksit Bharat, said the Prime Minister. PM Modi was referring to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharamans article which said that next-Gen GST is making taxation simpler and more predictable while supporting businesses and households. The reform is helping expand economic activity, strengthen revenues and create more opportunities for enterprises across India. Sitharaman said in a post on X that next-gen GST is delivering the twin objectives of relief for taxpayers and greater momentum for our economy. The next phase will focus on making compliance simpler across registration, returns, refunds, disputes and input tax credit. The Finance Minister has outlined the governments case for the next phase of Goods and Services Tax (GST) reforms, ahead of the GST Council meeting on October 7. In the article, FM Sitharaman said the proposed process reforms would focus on areas including registration, returns, refunds, dispute resolution, and the flow of input tax credit, with the aim of reducing the time and cost of compliance for taxpayers. The Finance Minister also highlighted the performance of GST collections and reported taxable supplies since the rate rationalisation that took effect on September 22, 2025. The forthcoming GST Council meeting is also expected to take up for discussion whether the stand-alone provision under the goods and services tax regime which empowers tax officials to arrest taxpayers under investigation, can be removed as instances of its misuse have come to the fore, a senior official has confirmed. This proposal has been made as part of the broader suggestions by GST Councils Law Committee on decriminalisation of GST laws as on several occasions the failure to pay tax has not been deliberately intended. This would result in tax officials no longer having the power under Section 69 to arrest a taxpayer during a GST investigation. The current GST framework gives the Commissioner the power under Section 69 of the CGST Act to authorise arrest where there are reasons to believe that a person has committed specified serious offences under Section 132. The current thinking is that in serious cases involving fake invoicing, fraudulent input tax credit and claiming fake refunds can be taken up for criminal prosecution under the provisions of the general criminal law provided in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The Councils Law Committee comprises officials from the Centre and States. It examines legal provisions under the GST laws and recommends statutory amendments and clarifications to the GST Council.
