Big Story

India has assumed the G20 presidency. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said New Delhi will seek to emerge as the “voice of the Global South”, and work to “depoliticise” the global supply of food, fertilisers and medical products.

In our opinion section today, T-20 Chair for India’s G20 Presidency, Sujan R Chinoy, writes on how India now has the opportunity to set the world agenda: “Think20, the ideas bank of G20, will engage with the gamut of issues – strategic, economic and structural – that confront all countries.”

Only in the Express 

When mutual funds shy away from Adani Group companies, when their shares are tightly held, one investor finds it attractive: the government-owned Life Insurance Corporation of India.

We are a party that nurtures talent.”

The Delhi Police has moved the Delhi High Court seeking revision of an order passed by a trial court last year discharging Congress MP Shashi Tharoor of all charges in the Sunanda Pushkar death case.

With the overall growth in the Indian economy seen tapering in the coming quarters, the elements at play in the growth trajectory is the divergent trend between manufacturing and services segments. Even though the services sector could improve in the coming quarters as the Covid concerns wane, manufacturing output, which registered a contraction of 4.3 per cent in the latest reported quarter, is unlikely to show a strong rebound. We talk to experts.
