REUTERS/Rajendra Jadhav/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 28 (Reuters) - India has set a floor price of $800 per metric ton minimum export price on onions up to Dec. 31, the government said on Saturday, in a bid to ensure adequate domestic availability and to stabilise prices. The government also announced procurement of 200,000 tons of onions for its buffer, over and above the 500,000 tons already procured, it said in the statement. The south Asian nation had in August imposed a 40% export duty on onions up to Dec. 31 to improve domestic availability of the vegetable.

Indian Muslims Flunk the Israel Test
  + stars: | 2023-10-26 | by ( Sadanand Dhume | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
But the fact it kicked in mere hours after Hamas’s civilian slaughter on Oct. 7—the assertion that somehow Israel drove Hamas to do it—deserves examination. Images: Zuma Press/AFP/Getty Images Composite: Mark KellyThe Hamas attacks in Israel this month presented the world with a stark test of moral clarity that the leaders of India’s 200 million Muslims appear intent on flunking. Their refusal to condemn the terrorist group’s savagery, or in some cases even to acknowledge it, is exceedingly foolish. It will fan fears of Islamic extremism among India’s Hindu majority and drive away the centrist allies Indian Muslims need to safeguard their rights. Indian Muslim political and intellectual elites have adopted a fanatically one-sided approach to Gaza that has fueled pro-Palestinian protests in Delhi, Pune, Mumbai, Bangalore, Aligarh and Hyderabad, among other Indian cities.

Housing rentals and ancillary costs have a 10.07% weightage in India's consumer price inflation basket and are near three-year highs, posing a fresh worry for the central bank that had to contend with rising food prices for most of last year. Urban housing inflation rose to 4.47% year-on-year in December 2022, versus 3.61% in the same period a year ago and 3.21% in December 2020, data from the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation showed. "Core inflation has continued to remain sticky and hence an increase in housing inflation poses a significant risk to the overall inflation outlook," said Aditi Gupta, an economist at Bank of Baroda. While housing prices are not part of the consumer price inflation basket, their effect is captured through construction and raw material prices, and analysts do not expect a slowdown any time soon. Analysts said rising house prices would also feed into higher demand for services like electricity and repairs, ultimately working their way into the overall inflation basket.

“I don’t see us launching in the U.S. in the next five years,” Anish Shah, Mahindra’s CEO and managing director, said Tuesday in an interview. A U.S. market entry “could likely be longer than five years because we have to win in some of our key markets first,” including Europe, he added. “We are in the process of doubling our capacity” in part to fulfill demand in the Indian market, Shah said. Much of the new capacity is earmarked for electric vehicles, he said. Mahindra in August unveiled a portfolio of five future electric SUVs, the first of which is slated to go into production in January.

REUTERS/Abhirup RoyMUMBAI, Nov 28 (Reuters) - Ingka Group, the owner of most IKEA furniture stores, is planning additional price cuts as some input costs ease, its retail manager told Reuters on Monday, a reversal from price hikes introduced last year to counter soaring inflation. The moderation of some input costs, such as metal and sea transport, will allow the company to continue the reductions, Oncu said. Opportunities for efficiencies in operations will continue to help IKEA deliver profits while lower prices should attract new cost-conscious customers, he added. Brand owner Inter IKEA, which is in charge of supply, said this month input prices had begun to stabilise, and that promotional campaigns and lower prices on some popular products would be key to attracting cash-strapped shoppers.
