Govt cuts dealers' sugar stock holding to 2,000 qtls to curb retail prices
The Centre on Tuesday further tightened the stock holding limit for sugar dealers, cutting it from 4,000 quintals to 2,000 quintals, effective from September 15 to November 30, as it looked to rein in high retail prices of the sweetener. The stock holding limit of 4,000 quintals, first imposed on August 1, will, however, remain unchanged for Kolkata and its extended metropolitan areas, considering the specific market requirements of the region, the food ministry said in a statement. The move is aimed at ensuring adequate availability of sugar in the domestic market and checking hoarding and speculative trading, the ministry added. Under the amended norms, a dealer cannot hold any stock for more than 30 days from the date of receipt, and cannot hold sugar, at any time, anywhere in the country, in excess of 2,000 quintals. Explaining the exemption for Kolkata, the ministry said the region sources sugar from Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra and supplies it onward to the eastern and ...

Indian pop titan and streaming powerhouse Darshan Raval is plotting a massive return to the road. Produced and promoted by leading live events promoter Team Innovation in association with Warner Music India, the singer-songwriter has announced a five-city tour The Love Letters India Tour, marking his first extensive live trek following a three-year hiatus. Riding high on the success of his latest monsoon anthem Barsaat Lagdi Ae, Raval will bring his high-production, fan-first show to major arenas across Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kolkata and New Delhi this November and December. The highly anticipated trek marks Ravals official return to the touring circuit following a significant gap. While Raval historically commanded massive crowds on his landmark 20222023 multi-city national tours, most notably his 10-city Love A Fair India Tour and subsequent Sound Of Love concert series, this upcoming winter run represents his first full-scale road effort since early 2023, signalling a grand new chapter of massive production and artistic reinvention. Far from a standard, passive concert sequence, the 2026 run is structurally designed as a hyper-immersive, fan-first event series. The tour will integrate premium global production standards utilizing state-of-the-art spatial acoustics and dynamic, panoramic stage architecture to cultivate an intimate, close-proximity atmosphere even within large arena spaces. Strategically prioritized for his core listener community, the venues will feature interactive, on-ground community activations, dedicated fan hubs, and experiential storytelling zones designed to bridge the physical space between the artist and the audience. Darshan Raval states, Every tour feels like a reunion with the people who have built this journey with me. This run is particularly close to my heart because it follows a long period away from the stage. We are building a show focused on making every section of the arena feel like the front row and it is the exact homecoming my fans deserve after three long years. Mohit Bijlani, Founder, Team Innovation states, What sets Darshan apart is the profound, almost subcultural loyalty of his fan community. They don't just listen; they live his music. That is why this tour rejects the typical, cookie-cutter concert blueprint. We are leaning heavily into specialized, on-ground community integrations and immersive layouts. We want every single person in that room to feel a direct, intimate connection to the stage. It is a massive arena tour wrapped in the soul of a close-knit community gathering. Jay Mehta, Managing Director, Warner Music India & SAARC states, Partnering with Darshan Raval for this monumental tour aligns perfectly with our vision at Warner Music India to elevate the live music experience to global standards. Darshans evolution into a standalone pop icon is unparalleled and after a considerable hiatus, his fans are hungry for a true spectacle. This tour is more than a live show; it is a celebration of a brand-new studio album and a testament to his massive cross-generational appeal. We are incredibly proud to back a production of this scale that honours the deep, emotional bond he shares with his global listener community. Tickets are available exclusively on District by Zomato. Ravals market dominance relies on his unique duality: a trusted Bollywood playback engine combined with a fiercely independent pop identity. His catalog spans massive cinematic anthems like Chogada, Mehrama, Kamariya and the streaming behemoth Kabhii Tumhhe alongside genre-defining independent non-film hits like Tera Zikr, Ek Tarfa, Asal Mein, Mahiye Jinna Sohna and his signature monsoon anthem Baarish Lete Aana. This cross-generational repertoire has cemented his status as a standalone pop idol capable of filling stadium-scale rooms independently.
