Luxury trains in India date back to its colonial era, when opulent carriages transported dignitaries, officials and royalty. Without the money to maintain them, India's luxury rail carriages were abandoned. Blending historical elegance with modern comforts, these trains are a glimpse into India's regal past. A peek inside a dining car and a cabin show the ornate details on board India's Palace on Wheels train. Indian food served in one of the dining cars on board the luxury Maharajas' Express.

The market value of companies listed on India’s exchanges crossed $4 trillion in late November. But the country is stuck in recession and recently lost its position as the world’s third biggest economy to Germany. While interest in the world’s fifth largest economy is rising, the lofty prices of India’s stocks are scaring some international investors away. According to Macquarie, retail investors alone own 9% of India’s equity market value versus foreign investors at slightly under 20%. China “has a few too many companies which are $100 and $200 billion plus [in value],” Mittal said.

The world famous Gateway of India monument in Mumbai, India was built during the 20th century to commemorate the visit of king George V and Queen Mary. India's travel landscape is changing as the country emerges as a powerhouse in the tourism sector. Their willingness to spend big while traveling is going, but research shows that most Indians are traveling domestically — not overseas. Indian travelers took 1.7 billion leisure trips in 2022 but most never left the country, and only about 1% traveled abroad, according to Booking.com and McKinsey. Here are the top 10 spots for Indians traveling within their own country, according to Booking.com and McKinsey.

Sunil Talati, president of government-aided Services Export Promotion Council, said total services exports could overtake goods exports in the next five years to $750 billion. A report by Knight Frank consultancy last week said demand for office space has risen sharply in smaller cities, driven by expanding operations of global accounting and multinationals, pushing up rents by up to 10%. Domestic accounting firms are also moving to smaller towns and raising wages. "With the Big Four and other global firms coming to our cities, we are going even deeper to open offices in smaller cities."

"Any upside risk coming from higher milk prices is going to pose an additional challenge," said Upasna Bhardwaj, chief economist at India's Kotak Mahindra Bank. "Cattle prices have doubled as there are fewer cows in the market," said Sharma, who has been raising cattle since childhood. "We will witness further rises in milk prices during summer," Shah said. India's SMP imports are likely to hit an all-time high in the fiscal year that started April, surpassing record purchases in 2011-12, dairy industry officials said. The temporary removal of those duties would mean imports rise even further, the NDDB official said.

Output cuts could temporarily maximise revenue for OPEC+ producers, but could tip the world into recession, he added. India is also upset with Saudi Arabia for charging an Asian premium on oil supplies and Indian state refiners last year briefly cut oil imports from the kingdom after output cuts by OPEC+, led by the Saudis.

A stat și a așteptat ore în șir ca leopardul să apară și s-a întors acasă fără poza sperată, credea el. Fotograful amator, care este din New Delhi, a spus: „A fost într-adevăr cel mai bun camuflaj pe care l-am văzut în viața mea”. După câteva ore s-a plictisit și a plecat dezamăgit. Abia când Abhinav a descărcat fotografiile în computerul său și-a dat seama că leopardul a fost acolo și a reușit să-l pozeze.

Medicii și oficialii locali încă raportează lipsa devastatoarelor de oxigen și a medicamentelor pentru bolnavii de COVID, fapt care ridică întrebări, inclusiv printre donatorii externi, despre destinația reală a ajutoarelor primite. „Este datoria guvernului să ne facă rost de oxigen”, a spus doctorul Gupta de la spitalul Batra din capitala New Dehli. A fost nevoie de șapte zile pentru ca guvernul să creeze un mecanism de distribuire a ajutoarelor către statele indiene, a anunțat ministrul sănătății marți. Guvernul a început să lucreze la proceduri în data de 26 aprilie și a emis Procedura Standard de Operare în data de 2 mai. În această perioadă cât guvernul a lucrat la proceduri, au murit peste 23 000 de indieni.
