*Trade differences remain between India and EU after 14th round of talks*
Differences persisted between India and the European Union (EU) in their discussion earlier this month on the proposed free-trade agreement (FTA), leaving no scope for a substantial breakthrough. In the 14th round of negotiations, which took place in Brussels, the disagreements related to market access for goods, and also investment, trade, and sustainable development. However, progress was made in consolidating the text of the negotiations, according to the report. While both sides had “constructive discussions”, resulting in progress on a number of provisions related to trade and sustainable development, “substantial differences” remained, including those on the binding and enforceable nature of such commitments. “On market access, both sides made their expectations known for tariff liberalisation, red lines and flexibilities, both on the levels of liberalisation and on the staging of tariff dismantling. Discussions will continue intersessionally,” the report said.

*Profit-taking erodes intraday gains in markets; Sensex rises 130 points*
Domestic equity benchmarks extended gains for a sixth straight session on Thursday, with the Nifty briefly crossing the 26,000-mark after a year, driven by optimism over a potential trade deal with the US and upbeat corporate earnings for the July–September quarter. However, profit-taking erased much of the day’s advance, leaving the indices with modest gains when the markets closed. The Sensex rose 1.02 per cent intraday before settling at 84,556 — up 130 points, or 0.2 per cent. The Nifty crossed 26,000 for the first time since September 30, 2024, but ended at 25,891, up 23 points, or 0.09 per cent. Both indices have added around 3 per cent over the past six sessions. However, the rally lacked breadth with 2,464 stocks declining against 1,809 advancing on BSE. The total market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms slipped by ₹60,000 crore to ₹470 trillion. Investor wealth rose by ₹10.6 trillion over the past six sessions, while the benchmark indices were only 1.5 per cent shy of new lifetime highs. Market sentiment was buoyed by reports suggesting that the US may lower tariffs on Indian exports to 15–16 per cent from 50 per cent currently. The news sent textile stocks soaring. Reports also indicated that India could agree to cut imports of Russian oil and allow non-genetically modified corn and soymeal from the US.

*Private sector capex led the way in H1FY26 with manufacturing boost*
Signalling a rebound in private investments, the second quarter of 2025-26 (FY26) witnessed a near doubling in the value of new investment plans from private promoters, with fresh outlays of ₹10.55 trillion in about 1,800 projects, compared to ₹5.69 trillion a year ago. The total value of new investment projects surged 62 per cent in Q2 to cross ₹15 trillion, taking overall investments in the first half (H1) of FY26 to ₹34 trillion, 22.3 per cent higher than the previous six months, according to data from investment monitoring firm Projects Today. Within this, new private sector capex plans rose a sharply 41 per cent in H1FY26 relative to H2FY25, at ₹24 trillion, led by a spurt in manufacturing and electricity projects, even as infrastructure building plans moderated with new public capex projects slowing down. Notably, foreign investors’ capex plans soared 130 per cent to over ₹3.56 trillion, while domestic private players recorded a 32 per cent uptick.

*Economy accelerated in Q2FY26, momentum to sustain: Finance Ministry*
Demand conditions across rural and urban India have improved through the second quarter (Q2) of 2025-26 (FY26), and the momentum gained in Q2 is expected to continue in the upcoming months, driven by resilient domestic economic activity and stronger demand supported by goods and services tax (GST) reforms, the Finance Ministry said on Monday. Despite a fog of uncertainty shrouding the global economy and lingering trade policy uncertainty, the ministry’s monthly economic review for September noted that India’s trade performance in H1FY26 reflects steady momentum and resilience, citing a 3 per cent rise in merchandise exports and a 6.1 per cent uptick in services exports. “Against a global backdrop characterized by economic and trade policy uncertainty, India’s economy gained momentum in Q2 FY26. This is particularly significant, as the United States imposed higher tariffs on India in August… Even as trade deal negotiations with the US continue, merchandise trade data for September 2025 presented early evidence of diversification of export destinations,” stated the review authored by officials in the Department of Economic Affairs’ economics division.

*Andaman discovery holds potential to change India's oil and gas landscape*
As India’s dependence on imports for crude oil and natural gas grows amid rising domestic demand, the country is now aggressively looking for a major new discovery in its sedimentary basins. Now, with the hydrocarbon potential of its Andaman basin touted as the next big oil and gas find, its hopes of reducing reliance on energy imports seem to have been rekindled. State-run Oil India Ltd (OIL) last month reported a natural gas occurrence in one of its Andaman fields, giving rise to speculation of a significant discovery after decades. India’s Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri has expressed confidence that the Andaman find can overturn the country’s oil and gas landscape by making a “Guyana-sized” discovery, referring to the outsize oil reserves the tiny Caribbean nation found in 2015, proceeds from which turned its economy around.

*Manufacturing the one cylinder that isn't firing: NITI's Suman Bery*
India has made notable progress in inclusive growth, yet its manufacturing sector remains a “cylinder that isn’t firing”, said NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Suman Bery on Wednesday. Speaking at an event on India’s industrial transformation, organised by the Institute for Studies in Industrial Development (ISID), Bery observed that while the country has advanced in infrastructure, regulatory coherence, and digital and logistics networks — transforming itself into one of the “world’s most dynamic investment destinations” — manufacturing has yet to realise its full potential. He called for India’s manufacturing success to be driven by regional clusters that build on local competitive advantages rather than a uniform national strategy. “We do see clusters and the creation of competitive industrial ecosystems at the state and regional levels as being key. India’s industrial success will not be built in Delhi; it will be built in our states and districts,” he said. Bery also emphasised the need to deepen domestic value chains, reduce import dependence, and invest in emerging sectors such as green hydrogen, electric mobility, and semiconductors. Offering a macroeconomic explanation for manufacturing’s persistently low share in gross domestic product (GDP), Bery suggested that an overextended fiscal sector and real exchange rate pressures may be eroding the sector’s competitiveness relative to others.

*Some companies in India get China licences to import REMs, says MEA*
Some companies in India have received licences to import rare earth magnets (REMs) from China, said Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal at his weekly media briefing on Thursday. At least four companies — Continental India, DE Diamond, Hitachi, and Jay Ushin — have secured the necessary Chinese licences, according to sources. They submitted end-user certificates required under Beijing’s export control regime, ensuring the materials will not be diverted to the United States (US) or used for defence production. In his media briefing, Jaiswal also noted that the US has granted India a six-month waiver, effective October 29, from sanctions on the Chabahar port project in Iran, where India has played a central role in development. On trade negotiations, he said New Delhi remains “engaged with the US on finalising the trade deal”. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met earlier this week on the sidelines of the East Asia Summit in Kuala Lumpur, where discussions are believed to have touched on the pending trade deal.

In his media briefing, Jaiswal also noted that the US has granted India a six-month waiver, effective October 29, from sanctions on the Chabahar port project in Iran, where India has played a central role in development. On trade negotiations, he said New Delhi remains “engaged with the US on finalising the trade deal”. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met earlier this week on the sidelines of the East Asia Summit in Kuala Lumpur, where discussions are believed to have touched on the pending trade deal.

*Tariff impact: Gems & jewellery shipments to US hardest hit in September*
Exports of gems and jewellery to the United States (US) were hit the hardest in September, following the full impact of the 50 per cent tariff that took effect during the month. Shipments of pearls, precious, and semi-precious stones plunged 76.7 per cent during the month, while exports of gold and other precious metal jewellery dropped 71.1 per cent, disaggregated data released by the commerce department showed. During the month, exports of cotton fabrics and madeups (-36.2 per cent), marine products (-26.9 per cent), industrial machinery for dairy (-28.1 per cent), readymade garments (-25 per cent), drug formulations (-16.4 per cent) and auto components (-12 per cent) also contracted in double digits. The US accounts for 37 per cent of India’s total exports of precious stones and 28 per cent shipments of gold jewellery, respectively. Exports of drug formulations contribute 40 per cent to India’s total exports, while readymade garments (34 per cent), marine products (36 per cent) and auto components (22 per cent), also form significant shares of India’s shipments. While the 25 per cent so-called reciprocal tariff on India kicked in from August 5, the additional 25 per cent US tariff on Indian goods — imposed in response to New Delhi’s purchase of Russian oil — came into effect on August 27, raising the cumulative duty on Indian exports to 50 per cent.

Morning Alert..
*Oil imports from US at 4.5-yr high in Oct: Russian supply also stays strong*
India’s monthly crude oil imports from the US climbed in October to their highest level since March 2021, even as purchases of Russian oil stayed robust at 1.61 million barrels per day (bpd) but slightly below the year-to-date average of 1.73 million bpd, according to data from maritime intelligence firm Kpler. Indian refiners imported 593,000 bpd of crude oil from the US in October, a sharp rise from 207,000 bpd in September and well above the year-to-date average of 305,000 bpd. The growing share of US oil in India’s crude basket underlines deepening energy ties between the two nations and reflects New Delhi’s strategy to balance supply security, economics, and geopolitics. “The increase was economics-led, supported by a strong arbitrage window, a wider Brent-WTI spread, and weak Chinese demand that made WTI Midland competitive on a delivered basis,” said Sumit Ritolia, lead research analyst for refining and modelling at Kpler. “That said, further upside is limited, as the rise is arbitrage-led, not structural, constrained by longer voyage times, higher freight costs, and WTI’s lighter, naphtha-rich yield.” Imports of Russian oil in October were marginally higher than in September, when Indian refiners bought 1.57 million bpd.
