US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry on Wednesday said India’s goal of reaching 450 GW of renewable energy (RE) by 2030 is doable as it has already crossed the 100 GW RE mark.
“It is really terrific to see India leading the ISA (International Solar Alliance). India is a close partner and the United States strongly supports India’s goal of reaching 450 GW of renewable energy by 2030.
“We believe that it’s absolutely doable and will be done. India has already set an example for emerging economies by reaching 100GW of renewables,? Kerry said while addressing a session of ISA general assembly. He further said, “What India has demonstrated with its low-cost solar auctions and build out of the transmission grids and massive solar parts program and other innovative policy tools can be replicated all over the world. ? Noting that solar energy is at the heart of the urgent climate action, he urged nations to take dramatic action to keep the 1. 5-degree Celsius temperature rise and mid-century net zero emissions targets within reach.
He added that President Joe Biden recognizes the clean energy opportunity of solar in the UP&HYܝ XY]H H] H Y

New Delhi
After two days of lull, petrol and diesel prices on Wednesday were again hiked by 35 paise per litre each, pushing rates to new highs across the country.
The price of petrol in Delhi rose to its highest-ever level of Rs 106.19 a litre and Rs 112.11 per litre in Mumbai, according to a price notification of state-owned fuel retailers. In Mumbai, diesel now comes for Rs 102.89 a litre; while in Delhi, it costs Rs 94.92.
The rate hike comes after two days of no changes. Prior to that, for four straight days prices were hiked by 35 paise per litre each. With this rise, petrol is now at Rs 100-a-litre mark or more in all state capitals while diesel has touched the level in over a dozen states.
Diesel crossed the Rs 100-a-litre mark in Panaji and Ranchi.
The costliest fuel is in the border town of Ganganagar in Rajasthan where petrol comes for Rs 118.23 a litre and diesel for Rs 109.04.
Since ending of a three-week long hiatus in rate revision in the last week of September, this is the 17th increase in petrol price and the 20th time that diesel rates have gone up.
While petrol price in most of the country is already above Rs 100-a-litre mark, diesel rates have crossed that level in over a dozen states/UT including Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh,Telangana, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Kerala, Karnataka, Jharkhand, Goa and Ladakh.
Prices differ from state to state depending on the incidence of local taxes.
International benchmark Brent crude is trading at US$ 84.43 per barrel on Wednesday for the first time in seven years.
A month back, Brent was trading at US$ 73.92.
Being a net importer of oil, India prices petrol and diesel at rates equivalent to international prices.
The surge in international oil prices ended a three-week hiatus in rate revision on September 28 for petrol and September 24 for diesel.
Since then, diesel rate has gone up by Rs 6.50 per litre and petrol price has increased by Rs 5.
Prior to that, petrol price was increased by Rs 11.44 a litre between May 4 and July 17. Diesel rate had gone up by Rs 9.14 during this period.

Moody’s revises outlook for Indian banking system to stable from negative #FinanceIndia #StockMarketNEWS #Business
Mumbai: Moody’s has revised the outlook for the Indian banking system to stable from negative suggesting that the deterioration of asset quality since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic has been moderate and an improving operating environment will support asset quality.
In its banking system outlook, Moody’s Investors Service said that India’s economy will continue to recover in the next 12-18 months with GDP growing 9. 3 per cent in the fiscal year ending March 2022 and 7. 9 per cent in the following year.
“The pickup in economic activity will drive credit growth, which we expect to be 10-13 per cent annually. Moreover, weak corporate financials and funding constraints at finance companies have been key negative factors for banks but these risks have receded,? it said.
The basis of Moody’s revision of outlook for Indian banking system has been limited impact that the pandemic has on deterioration of asset quality of banks despite relatively limited regulatory support for borrowers. The quality of corporate loans has improved, indicating that banks have recognised and provisioned for all legacy problem loans in this segment. The quality of retail loans has deteriorated, but to a limited degree because large-scale job losses have not occurred.
“We expect asset quality will further improve, leading to decline in credit costs, as economic activity normalises,? Moody’s banking system outlook said.
The ratings agency said that capital ratios have risen across rated banks in the past year because most have issued new shares. Public sector banks’ ability to raise equity capital from the market is particularly credit positive because it reduces their dependence on the government for capital. However, further increase in capital will be limited because banks will use most of retained earnings to support an acceleration of loan growth.
The outlook has further said that profitability of banks will improve as loan-loss provisions decline.

Govt sanctions ad hoc bonus to employees for FY21 #FinanceIndia #StockMarketNEWS #Business
New Delhi: The government has sanctioned non-productivity linked or ad hoc bonus for central government employees for fiscal year 2020-21.
In an office memorandum, the Department of Expenditure under the Finance Ministry said the employees of central para military forces and armed forces too would be eligible for the bonus.
Employees who were in service as on March 31, 2021, and have rendered at least six months of continuous service during 2020-21 fiscal year would be eligible for this ad hoc bonus.
The non-productivity linked bonus (ad hoc bonus) would be paid to the central government employees in Group C and all non-gazetted employees in Group B, who are not covered by any productivity- linked bonus scheme.
The calculation ceiling for payment of this bonus would be monthly emoluments of Rs 7,000.
“The quantum of ad hoc bonus will be worked out on the basis of average emoluments/calculation ceiling whichever is lower,? the Department of Expenditure said.
To calculate ad hoc bonus for one day, the average emoluments in a year will be divided by 30.4 (average number of days in a month).
This will, thereafter, be multiplied by the number of days of bonus granted.
Giving an illustration, the memorandum said given the calculation ceiling of monthly emoluments of Rs 7,000 (where actual average emoluments exceed Rs 7,000), the non-productivity linked bonus or ad-hoc bonus for 30 days would work out to be Rs 6,908.
It also clarified that in case of employees who resigned, retired from service or expired before March 31, 2021, the ad hoc bonus would be paid only to those who superannuated or retired on medical grounds or died before March 31, 2021, but after completing at least six months regular service during the year.

Bank gross NPAs to rise to 8-9%, stressed assets to touch 10-11%: Report #FinanceIndia #StockMarketNEWS #Business
Mumbai: Gross non-performing assets (NPAs) of banks will rise to 8-9 per cent this fiscal, well below the peak of 11. 2 per cent seen at the end of fiscal, ratings agency Crisil said in a report.
The Covid-19 relief measures such as the restructuring dispensation, and the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS) will help limit the rise, the report added.
With 2 per cent of bank credit expected under restructuring by the end of this fiscal, stressed assets-comprising gross NPAs and loan book under restructuring-should touch 10-11 per cent.
Krishnan Sitaraman, Senior Director and Deputy Chief Ratings Officer, CRISIL Ratings, said: “The retail and MSME segments, which together form 40 per cent of bank credit, are expected to see higher accretion of NPAs and stressed assets this time around. Stressed assets in these segments are seen rising to 4-5 per cent and 17-18 per cent, respectively, by this fiscal end. The numbers would have trended even higher but for write-offs, primarily in the unsecured segment. ?
The retail segment, which had a relatively stable run over the past decade, has been singed by the pandemic, with salaried and self-employed borrowers alike facing significant income challenges and higher medical expenses, especially in the second wave.
Thus, in a first-of-its-kind move, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) introduced loan restructuring for retail borrowers to help them tide over the situation. This followed a six-month moratorium permitted by lenders last fiscal.
Despite the measures, CRISIL Ratings believes stressed assets in the retail segment will rise to 4-5 per cent by the end of this fiscal from 3 per cent last fiscal. While home loans, the largest segment, will be the least impacted, unsecured loans are expected to bear the brunt of the pandemic.
The MSME segment, despite benefiting from ECLGS and the recent limit enhancement and tenure extension, is likely to see asset quality deteriorate and will require restructuring to manage cash-flow challenges. In fact, restructuring is expected to be the highest for this segment, at 4-5 per cent of the loan book, leading to a jump in stressed assets to 17-18 per cent by this fiscal end from 14 per cent last fiscal, Crisil said.
The corporate segment, though, is expected to be far more resilient. A large part of the stress in the corporate portfolio had already been recognised during the asset quality review initiated five years ago. That, coupled with the secular deleveraging trend, has strengthened the balance sheets of corporates, and enabled them to tide over the pandemic relatively unscathed compared with retail and MSME borrowers. This is evident from restructuring of only 1 per cent in the segment.

Covid brings 3 lakh agents to focus as India’s travel market to hit 5 bn #FinanceIndia #StockMarketNEWS #Business
Bengaluru: India’s travel market is forecast to grow to 5 billion by the financial year (FY) 2027 and as the complexity of travel increases in the pandemic, over 3 lakh agents are expected to cater to over billion of the overall market size by the same time period, a new report showed on Tuesday.
Amid the pandemic-related uncertainties, customers now prefer to make travel booking through agents. Eighty per cent of international air travel and international leisure travel is being booked through agents.
“Top 750 agents are doing Rs 3-4 crore of business per month, capturing 12 per cent of the agent travel market. These agents largely focus on air travel and have corporate tie-ups,? according to RedCore.
, an arm of Bengaluru-based market research firm RedSeer.
These are followed by 60,000 agents who are of medium size and do a business of Rs 20 lakh per month. They focus on selling holiday packages. These agents capture more than 50 per cent agent market share.
Remaining 35 per cent travel agent market share is captured by a long chain of 250,000 small agents, the report noted.
“Travel in India is still heavily dependent on Agents. Agents not just offer convenience and trust, but are also price competitive to direct booking. They represent 50 per cent plus of the travel market share and are expected to maintain this share in coming years,? said Anuj Kumar, Director at RedCore.
The overall travel market in India was billion in FY20, and is expected to cross 5 billion by FY27.
“The travel market shrunk significantly in FY21 but the recovery is expected to continue in FY22, and also expects to see a spike in the later years due to pent-up demand,? the report noted.
The findings showed that there is a lack of players operating in the packages segment, who could curate the package according to customer requirements.
“The Indian travel market is dominated by 300,000 travel agents who represent the largest share by booking channel of 52 per cent and the role of agents significantly increased in Covid times,? the report added.

New Delhi: The government on Monday said that over 56.62 lakh metric tonnes of paddy has been procured in the Kharif Marketing Season 2021-22 up to October 17.
The KMS 2021-22, at the minimum support price (MSP), commenced recently and has benefitted 3,71,919 farmers with MSP value of Rs 11,099.25 crore, an official statement said.
The procurement took place in states and UTs of Chandigarh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.
The government had earlier declared October 11 as the date for starting procurement under MSP for Haryana and Punjab. However, after a hue and cry from the farmers, the date was brought earlier and the procurement started on October 1.
The government claimed it has digitised land records and the names of the farmers, owners and tillers both, and also put in place a procedure to book dates for bringing in paddy for procurement under the MSP. It also claimed that it has put in place a system that pays the farmers directly the MSP price into their bank accounts and the commission, wherever due, is diverted to the trader’s account.

Rains, festive season, high fuel prices send vegetable prices soaring #FinanceIndia #StockMarketNEWS #Business
IANS
New Delhi
The delayed withdrawal of monsoon, coupled with flood situation in various parts of the country, soaring fuel prices and the festive season demand have all set the prices of vegetables, especially essentials such as onion and tomato, to shoot up within a week or so.
The Centre has claimed it is keeping tab on the prices and even announced that it has maintained a buffer stock to moderate prices and ensuring minimal storage loss.
The prices were relatively stable till about last month and the rates were comparable to that of the same time last year. However, with floods in several parts of south India in September and early October led to supply shortage.
For instance, according to state wise ‘Wholesale Prices Monthly Analysis for Onion’ for the month of October 2021 shows that in Delhi, the rate of onions in this month is Rs 2,970. 62 per quintal, compared to Rs 1,711. 18 per quintal in September 2021, which is a whopping 73. 6 per cent increase. However, the rate in October 2020 was Rs 3,161. 94 per quintal, which is minus 6. 05 per cent compared to current month price.
Similarly, for Maharashtra, the rate is Rs 2,760. 69 per quintal in October 2021 compared to Rs 1,521. 68 per quintal in September 2021, which is 81. 42 per cent increase. However, the rate in October 2020 was Rs 3,374. 71, which is minus 18. 19 per cent.
Almost similar prices played out in Madhya Pradesh where the rate for October 2021 is Rs 2,523. 79 compared to Rs 1,391. 11 in September 2021, which is again, 81. 42 per cent rise. And very similar to Maharashtra, the price in October 2020 was Rs 3,181. 28, which is minus 20. 67 compared to current month savings.
“The onion and tomato prices have shot up because there have been continuous rains in Maharashtra from where Delhi gets its onions. Tomatoes come from Maharashtra and Karnataka, which too has witnessed rains and flood fury in recent weeks,? said former president of Federation of Fruit and Vegetables Trade Associations of Delhi, Rajendra Sharma.
This has had a cascading effect on retail rates in Delhi. Around navaratri time, the rates were stable, tomatoes cost Rs 50 per kg but days after Dussehra, on Monday, the rates had soared to Rs 80 per kg. Onions are currently being sold at Rs 60 per kg in most areas, with rates in south Delhi tad higher.
Vegetable rates rarely soar in just one area or one metro. The price rise is almost all the time pan-India, especially for the metro cities.
An onion grower and trader from Lasalgaon in Maharashtra, Sanjay Holkar, said, the diesel prices have hit the roof and that is the reason why the cost at the consumer end has escalated.

CAIT urges Health Minister Mandaviya to remove pro e-commerce ad New Delhi, 20 Oct (KNN) The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) approached the Union Health Minister, Mansukh Mandaviya setting out their resentment towards an advertisement campaign of the health ministry urging the people to shop online for protection from Covid.
The CAIT while registering its strong protest on this particular advertisement has called upon Health Minister Mandaviya to immediately withdraw the said advertisement and suspend its promotion any further.
“The said advertisement campaign is grossly against more than 8 crore small businesses of the Country who are rendering yeomen services at the time of need of the nation and contravenes the fundamental right enshrined in the Constitution of India which prohibits any discrimination,” said the CAIT.
CAIT National President B. C. Bhartia and Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal in the communication said to the Health Minister Mandaviya that the current online business of India is highly vitiated and captivated by foreign funded e-commerce companies which have left no stone unturned in disobeying the laws and the rules of the Country and abusing the dominance.
The said campaign of the Health Ministry is regarded as a vital support and empowering the global e-commerce companies to continue with their unhealthy and manipulative business practices much to the disadvantage to not only the traders but the end consumers as well.
The Confederation is of that the opinion that while drafting the campaign, these issues were ignored such a move by Health Ministry is highly derogatory, proved to be much disastrous to the offline business community and an attempt to discourage the retailers of the Country.
“The offline traders who stood firmly with the Government at the time of covid both last year and this year have been grossly ignored and neglected by the officials who designed the campaign-lamented both leaders,” stated CAIT.
Bhartia & Khandelwal said that at the time when much controversy is erupting about e-commerce business, strong remarks passed by the Supreme Court and Karnataka High Court about the business tactics of major global e-tailers who have the highest share of e-commerce business in India, several statements made by Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal at various national & international forums about mandated compliance of the laws and rules have been put to deaf ears to by major e-tailers who are controlling the e-commerce business, the campaign of health ministry asking people to buy goods from online is an unwanted, uncalled for and highly discriminatory campaign which rejects the contribution of offline traders in national economy and who have been regarded as backbone of economy by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

India ultimate investment destination for solar power: U.S. Secretary #FinanceIndia #StockMarketNEWS
India- ultimate investment destination for solar power: U. S. Secretary New Delhi, 20 Oct (KNN) R. K. Singh, Union Minister for Power and New and Renewable Energy and the President of International Solar Alliance hosted the Fourth Assembly of the International Solar Alliance.
“India has made rapid strides in the solar energy sector over past few years and rapid capacity addition is a testament to India’s commitment to clean and affordable solar energy. India has target to reach 450 GW of RE by 2030. We have 154 GW of installed non fossil generation capacity and another 67 GW under construction. India’s non-fossil fuel based capacity is on-track to surpass the 40 % target under the India’s NDC, said Power Minister Singh.
He emphasized that solving the problem of energy access is very important. The ISA can enable energy access for 800 million people who lack energy access, worldwide.
The Union Minister also pointed out that International Solar Alliance was founded to bring the global community together, synergize our efforts, and leverage our complementarities to overcome such barriers. He said that ISA can play primary role in providing energy access to all.
Secretary Kerry applauded the International Solar Alliance and the leadership of India, France and member countries of the ISA Assembly in their collaboration to advance the global clean energy transition.
“It is really terrific to see India leading the ISA. India is a close partner and the United States strongly supports India’s goal of reaching 450 GW of renewable energy by 2030. We believe that it’s absolutely doable and will be done. India has already set an example for emerging economies by reaching 100GW of renewables. What India has demonstrated with its low-cost solar auctions and build out of the transmission grids and massive solar parts program and other innovative policy tools can be replicated all over the world, ” he said.
He added that the ISA is critical to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and has an opportunity to accelerate solar growth with member countries blessed with the world’s strongest sunlight.
Speaking on India- U. S. ties and calling India, “a red-hot investment destination for solar power,” Secretary Kerry shared that, leading countries deploying solar power from India to United States are seeing the need for energy storage to balance the intermittency of renewable energy. Harnessing the full value of solar energy will require countries to invest in storage, in grid infrastructure and in flexibility in both demand and supply. And to connect solar power with parts of the economy that don’t currently use electricity, countries must invest in electric vehicles and clean fuels like hydrogen that can be produced using solar power.

Supply chain constraints spoil Garment export party #FinanceIndia #StockMarketNEWS
Supply chain constraints spoil Garment export party New Delhi, 19 Oct (KNN) Although the garment industry has witnessed a remarkable rebound in exports since the wake of covid-19, there are bigger challenges staring the sector in the form of supply chain constraints.
While hike in fuel prices remains a concern as the dyeing and processing units have started added ad-hoc ‘fuel surcharge’, the inherent supply chain constraints come to fore during buoyancy.
“India is one of the largest producers of cotton and houses the entire value chain up to apparel for export. But due to structural bottlenecks of the supply chain, we could seldom exploit the surge in demand” says Dr. Animesh Saxena- Manging Director Neetee Apparels- a leading garment exporter and President of Federation of Indian Micro and Small & Medium Enterprises (FISME).
“The sub-optimal size of dyeing & processing units and their limited capacities mean they can’t work on long term contacts and are prone to hike prices with even slight change in raw material costs. Secondly, the current size of processing industry can’t handle sudden surge in orders and export opportunities like the one coming to India’s way due to shift in GVCs, are likely to be missed”, he added.
Dr. Saxena has suggested to the Government to help bolster investment in the supply chain to augment productive capacities.
Speaking exclusively with KNN on this issue, Raja Shanmugham, President, Tiruppur Exporters Association stated, “The current situation is adversely impacting the industry in all forms. Government needs to understand that MSMEs are facing the brunt of the crunch in the supply of raw materials. ”
He further added that, this turmoil has been building up since the last 2 years and to sustain is a big challenge for us.
Looking at the current scenario, growth doesn’t look immediate for the textile industry but a flow of investments will give the much needed push to the supply chain.
Shanmugham said that, “The PIL scheme, Pradhan Mantri Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM Mitra) scheme are good for the corporate sector, and not for clusters like ours. Hence, our plea to the government is to look into liquidity block and release the amount guaranteed in the schemes. ”
With this the Government also needs to aid the textile sector with technological advancement, and should come forward to safeguard the MSMEs.
It is imperative to note that India is the 6th largest exporter of textiles and apparel in the world, and is the 2nd largest employer in the country providing direct employment to 45 million people and 100 million people in allied industries.

Hit by upsurge in fuel prices, MSMEs demand reduction of levies #FinanceIndia #StockMarketNEWS
Hit by upsurge in fuel prices, MSMEs demand reduction of levies Bangalore, 19 Oct (KNN) The rise in petrol and diesel prices has increased transport expenses of workers as well as production cost of factories, which has hit the Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in many ways.
Karnataka Small Scale Industries Association (KASSIA) has urged the chief minister of Karnataka to immediately cut the existing sales tax of 35% and the Centre to reduce excise duty of INR 32.90 charged by it per litre.
“The workers are demanding to increase their salaries to meet their rising commuting cost as most of them use their own vehicle for commute. Even in case of those workers who use public transport for work, there is a real possibility that they too will be increasing the fare sooner than later,” KASSIA stated in a press release.
Moreover, many vendors have signed up one year or more contract with their purchasers, and now the increase in diesel price has effectively reduced their margin which they cannot pass onto their customers.
The Association observed that the return of fuel consumption level to pre-Covid times indicates that the economy is on the rebound and therefore there is no need for the government to delay its decision to reduce duty on it.
“The State as well as the Centre should act collectively to trim down the price rise otherwise the situation will run out of control and let inflationary conditions into the economy,” KASSIA opined.

Dow, S&P 500 end higher but narrowly miss closing highs as Fed's Beige Book shows inflation pressures remain #FinanceUSA #StockMarketNEWS
The S&P 500 index and Dow industrials closed higher on Wednesday, barely missing a finish at record closing highs as investors parsed the Federal Reserve's latest Beige Book showing the U.S. economy is growing at a modest to moderate pace, but remains under pressure from inflation and labor shortages. Strong third quarter corporate earnings are helping investors overcome some doubts about the impact of the coronavirus delta variant, supply-chain disruptions and the Federal Reserve's likely move to start withdrawing some of its easy-money policies. The Dow Jones Industrial Average close 0.4% higher at 35,609, missing its Aug. 16 closing high at 35,625.40. The S&P 500 index closed up 0.4% to end at around 4,536, coming within a hair's breadth of its Sept. 2 closing high at 4,536.95. The Nasdaq Composite Index , however, ended down slightly, less than 0.1% to end at about 15,121, ending its win streak at five straight sessions. Investors were focused on results from electric-vehicle maker Tesla Inc. , which rolled out after Wednesday's close. Meanwhile, the Fed's latest Beige Book survey of economic conditions released Wednesday pointed to a U.S. economy that still is growing at a solid pace, but labor shortages and supply-chain bottlenecks that have been restraining growth and triggering higher inflation.

The yellow metal is still trading in the ,750 to ,800 range, but it will break free from that range, as physical demand is very high in Asia, he said.

Oil futures settled higher on Wednesday after the Energy Information Administration reported a weekly decline of 400,000 barrels in U.S. crude inventories, defying some expectations for a weekly climb. The crude market is coming out of an "overbought situation" and may see prices consolidate, before grinding higher, said Tariq Zahir, managing member at Tyche Capital Advisors. He also said he wouldn't be surprised to see the Biden administration try and pressure the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to produce more oil or see renewed talk of a release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, amid efforts to "try and halt the recent upward movement in crude prices." On its expiration day, West Texas Intermediate crude for November delivery rose 91 cents, or 1.1%, to end at .87 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest finish for a front-month contract since Oct. 13, 2014, according to FactSet data.
