MUMBAI:

RBI's annual report for FY25 said India's economic activity picked up pace in the second half of the last financial year on the back of an uptick in domestic demand, increase in exports of goods and services, and a buoyant agriculture sector.

The global environment has been tough, with tariffs creating a great deal of uncertainty, it said. US President Donald Trump came to power on 20 January, promising stiff tariffs on friends and foes, industrial jobs revival and a loose fiscal policy. In April, he announced reciprocal tariffs on a host of nations, only to announce a three-month pause soon after.

Emission rules may be delayed for 25-75 hp tractors

NEW DELHI/MUMBAI: India is in the advanced stages of finalising the next phase of emission norms for tractors and may delay the rollout of the stricter rules for models in the 25-75 horsepower (hp) range, following lobbying by manufacturers who have argued that tighter standards could raise compliance costs and make these machines more expensive for small farmers, two industry executives aware of the matter said.
