The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has warned food shops and establishments throughout the nation to cease wrapping or serving food with newspapers, claiming that doing so poses significant health risks.

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare stated that the advisory comes after a recent event in Mumbai where a vadapav hawker was seen wrapping and serving food in newspapers.

In the wake of the incident, the FSSAI’s West Region and the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) took coordinated action and gave instructions to prevent similar behaviors throughout the city and region.

The food safety regulator stated that printing inks used in newspapers contain hazardous chemicals, pigments, binders, and heavy metals, such as lead, which can leach into food when it comes into touch with hot or greasy goods.

It further stated that newspapers may transmit microorganisms that might lead to foodborne diseases since they are frequently exposed to unsanitary conditions during distribution and handling.

The FSSAI reaffirmed that the Food Safety and Standards (Packaging) Regulations of 2018 expressly forbid the use of newspapers or comparable unapproved materials for the preservation, wrapping, or delivery of food.

The advisory applies to all food establishments, including street sellers, restaurants, cloud kitchens, caterers, quick service restaurants, hawkers, and mobile food vendors, who have been instructed to only utilize safe and food-grade packaging materials.

Additionally, FSSAI advised consumers to be cautious and to avoid eating items that were served or wrapped in newspapers.

In addition to promoting safe and sustainable packaging solutions in the food industry, FSSAI and state agencies are maintaining surveillance and enforcement in accordance with the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.

The food safety authority sent a statutory notice to the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) in May after a video posted on social media claimed that Train No. 12223 Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT)-Ernakulam (ERS) Duronto Express’s utensils were handled in an unsanitary manner.

India’s persistent improvements over the previous 12 years to enhance its business regulatory environment, with the government’s emphasis moving from a compliance-heavy system to a facilitation-driven ecosystem, have resulted in the nation’s rising position in worldwide benchmarks for investor confidence and ease of doing business.

The World Bank’s Doing Business Report 2020 and other international assessments demonstrate the progress. According to the statement, India’s rank rose from 142 in 2014 to 63 in 2019, reflecting a 79-position advancement over five years.

For businesses, the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking 2025 evaluates the economic performance of the country, government, business efficiency, and infrastructure development. Between 2021 and 2025, India’s rank rose from 43 to 41. According to the factsheet, this demonstrates a better business climate, stronger governance, and better digital and regulatory reforms.

In 2020, 2022, and 2025, India was placed in Group A by the World Bank’s GovTech Maturity Index, which evaluates public sector digital transformation. This category comprises nations that have shown innovation and progress in vital government systems, the provision of public services, engaging citizens digitally, and govtech facilitators.

In addition, the United Nations carries out an E-Government Survey to evaluate the digital government environment in various nations. In the poll, India received a high overall rating. India has also received a very high rating in the online services index as a result. India has also done well in terms of human capital and telecommunication infrastructure. This shows strong digital public service delivery, increasing digital infrastructure, and better citizen access to technology-enabled government services.

These advancements are being made due to continuous attempts to streamline procedures and simplify regulations. Moreover, the government has eased the compliance load at every stage of a company’s existence. Reform initiatives cover a wide range of issues, from registration and logistical assistance to bankruptcy settlement. This is changing business practices and making things simpler for business owners all over the world, including India.

The government has made considerable reforms over the previous 12 years to streamline formalisation and business entry processes in India. According to the official release, these actions have eliminated procedural obstacles and made it possible for business owners and MSMEs to utilize paperless, speedier, and technology-driven systems.

In an effort to turn India into a nation of job creators rather than job seekers, it promotes the Startup India program, which aims to help entrepreneurs and create a strong startup ecosystem. A credit guarantee system, investor connect portal, Fund of Funds, and Seed Fund are all part of the support initiatives.

Only 502 businesses were acknowledged in 2016, resulting in 308 direct employment. Nevertheless, more than 2. 23 lakh companies have been acknowledged by March 2026, creating 23. 3 lakh direct employment. This rapid expansion has opened up possibilities for entrepreneurship and jobs. Furthermore, reflecting increasing inclusivity, around 48% of these firms have at least one woman director or partner.

The MCA21 Project, a forward-looking, AI-driven program, similarly improves transparency in India’s corporate environment. For registry and incorporation-related services of businesses and limited liability partnerships, the platform offers end-to-end support.

Between 2021 and 2025, around 3. 84 crore filings were submitted. Of these, 3. 33 crore filings were approved through the Straight Through Process. According to the official statement, this has lowered processing time, reduced manual interference, and increased ease of compliance for enterprises.

Additionally, it emphasizes the Udyam Registration Portal, which was launched in July 2020 and gives MSMEs (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) a paperless, self-declaration-based, free system. By June 5, 2026, MSME registrations on the Udyam Portal had increased from 10,020 in October 2020 to over 858,000.

The BCCI headquarters in Mumbai finally shed light on the last several days’ buzz on the future of India men’s T20I captaincy on Saturday. As India’s new T20I captain, Shreyas Iyer has taken over from Suryakumar Yadav in a significant leadership change, with his initial task being the tours of Ireland and England.

Following a five-match series in England from July 1 to July 11, India will play two Twenty20 Internationals in Dublin on June 26 and 28. The T20I team’s vice captain, Shreyas, is in charge, signalling a fresh start for India in the shortest format, especially with the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand coming up.

With Suryakumar Yadav’s extended lean patch forcing the selectors and team management to look to the future and confirm Shreyas as the new leader of the side in the shortest format, the Men’s T20I captaincy issue was clearly at the forefront before Saturday’s selection meeting and announcement.

It was reportedly considered to maintain Suryakumar as captain up until the England trip, with Hardik Pandya also reportedly vying for the leadership position. However, because of his advanced age and Suryakumar’s continued dismal performance, Shreyas, who showed excellent leadership abilities and earned the complete respect of everyone in the changing room in both IPL and domestic cricket, was selected as India’s next leader in T20Is by progressive decision-makers.

Suryakumar, who guided India to a record defense of the Men’s T20 World Cup championship on home turf in March, scored only 270 runs in 13 innings for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026, averaging 20. 76. In the T20 World Cup, his statistics were also unimpressive, scoring only 242 runs at a strike rate of 136. 72. In contrast, Iyer’s promotion to T20I captaincy marks a notable reversal.

After December 2023, he was no longer part of India’s T20I plans, but he has since made his comeback thanks to his outstanding IPL leadership and consistent performance. Aside from guiding Mumbai to victory in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in 2024/25, he also led Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings to IPL finals in 2020 and 2025, and Kolkata Knight Riders to the 2024 IPL title.

Iyer, a substitute for the wounded Tilak Varma, was chosen for the home T20I series versus New Zealand before the T20 World Cup, but he was unable to participate. Iyer, at 31, not only rejoins the T20I fold as a batter, but also as India’s 15th skipper in the shortest format, tasked with guiding the side through the next stage of its outstanding voyage.

Additionally, it is the second straight occasion that an Indian captain has been replaced shortly after winning an ICC title. India won the Champions Trophy in March under Rohit Sharma’s leadership in 2025; however, Shubman Gill took his place as the ODI captain before India’s tour to Australia in October.

For the time being, June 6 will be remembered as the day India expressed its desire to move into the future by naming Shreyas as the T20I captain.

The Indian team‘s wait finally ended on Saturday at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Margao, Goa, when Indian team reclaimed the SAFF Women’s Championship title after seven years by defeating defending champions Bangladesh 3-1 in an exciting final.

Before Ritu Porna Chakma tied the score in first-half stoppage time, Pyari Xaxa gave India the advantage in the 42nd minute. Sanfida Nongrum gave the Blue Tigresses a 40-second lead in the second half, and substitute Lynda Kom Serto clinched the win in the 82nd minute, extending India’s record to six trophies.

As the last whistle blew, the Indian team and their supporters exploded in happiness since the importance of the accomplishment was clear throughout the Indian camp.

Dangmei Grace, who announced her retirement following the game, was hugged by Sanfida Nongrum, who had knelt down after making a crucial contribution throughout the tournament by scoring in both the semifinal and the final. As India returned to the pinnacle of South Asian women’s football for the first time since 2019, players and staff around them rejoiced. Grace, a legend of the Indian women’s game, represented the country 95 times since her debut in 2013 and concluded her international career on a high note after winning her third SAFF championship.

The win concluded a fantastic campaign for the hosts, who won all four of their games, scoring 18 goals and only allowing one, while ending Bangladesh’s hopes of winning a historic third straight championship.

The championship game included all of the components one would expect from a match between the two top teams in the area. India was pursuing a title that had escaped them for the previous two iterations, and Bangladesh was the defending champions.

India was eager to make an early statement, and Manisha Kalyan was starting for the first time in the competition. During the opening stages, the hosts had the ball for most of the time and made the most of their chances.

Before sending her attempt over the bar, Sanfida Nongrum was the first to try her luck from a challenging angle. When Bangladesh goalkeeper Mile Akter was unable to handle a lengthy ball from Nirmala Devi Phanjoubam, India came even closer in the 16th minute. Astam Oraon was able to recover the loose ball, but the defender was unable to maintain her shot on goal.

Nonetheless, Bangladesh continued to be unsafe. Almost replicating her semifinal heroics versus Nepal, Ritu Porna Chakma curled a corner straight at the goal in the 23rd minute, but it just went over the crossbar.

The team led by Crispin Chettri kept pushing ahead. Before Mile Akter made an outstanding save to stop Manisha Kalyan’s strong half-volley in the 38th minute, Aveka Singh just missed the target with a Nirmala cross.

Three minutes before halftime, the breakthrough finally happened. Before getting a shot away, Pyari Xaxa demonstrated quick feet within the penalty box. Surovi Akter tried to block the shot, but it deflected over the oncoming Mile Akter and into the goal.

Bangladesh responded immediately after the goal seemed to have put India in control before halftime. In the first-half stoppage time, Ritu Porna Chakma broke free on the left flank and slotted a low shot past Panthoi Chanu Elangbam into the bottom corner. It was the first goal India had given up in the competition, guaranteeing that the teams would enter the break with a 1-1 deadlock.

However, India had all of the second half.

Pyari became the provider within seconds of the reset. Sanfida Nongrum was able to restore India’s lead with a powerful header via the post after she came up unmarked from her cross from the right.

The momentum was changed by that goal. Bangladesh found it difficult to achieve the same attacking pace as before, while India seemed more at ease and assured.

The hosts still had some cause for alarm. Panthoi was almost caught off guard by a dangerous delivery from Maria Manda, but the goalkeeper reacted well to tip it away.

After a brilliant move and pass from Sanfida, India kept creating possibilities and nearly increased their lead through Manisha, whose volley went just wide.

When a defensive blunder gave substitute Lynda Kom Serto a chance inside the box, India took advantage and scored their third goal in the 82nd minute. The ball was sent past Mile Akter by the forward, who responded the quickest to put the score at 3-1.

The goal effectively ended the game, guaranteeing there would be no dramatic return.

For the hosts, winning the game capped off a remarkable competition. Sanfida Nongrum was named Most Valuable Player, Panthoi Chanu Elangbam was named Best Goalkeeper, and Aveka Singh was the top scorer with four goals. The Fair Play prize was awarded to Nepal.

On Sunday, President Droupadi Murmu gave her warmest congratulations to the Indian women’s football team for their outstanding execution and win of the SAFF Women’s Championship 2026 title.

After a seven-year wait, India regained the SAFF Women’s Championship crown by defeating reigning champions Bangladesh 3-1 in an exciting final at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Margao, Goa, on Saturday.

The President praised the team’s performance throughout the competition, saying that their historic win would be a strong motivator for young female athletes all around the country who aspire to succeed.

The Indian Women’s Football Team deserves our warmest congratulations on their triumph at the 2026 SAFF Women’s Championship! Our women footballers showed extraordinary skill, determination, and collaboration during the whole event. “I am sure that their amazing accomplishment will motivate young women throughout the country to follow their aspirations with confidence and bravery,” the President wrote on X.

Prior to Ritu Porna Chakma’s equaliser in first-half stoppage time, Pyari Xaxa gave India the lead in the 42nd minute. Substitute Lynda Kom Serto clinched the triumph in the 82nd minute as India won a record-extending sixth trophy, while Sanfida Nongrum restored the Blue Tigresses’ lead just 40 seconds into the second half.

The importance of the accomplishment was clear across the Indian camp as the last whistle blew. Sanfida Nongrum, who was instrumental throughout the event and scored in both the semi-final and the championship game, knelt before hugging teammate Dangmei Grace, who declared her retirement after the game.

India reclaimed the pinnacle of South Asian women’s football for the first time since 2019 as players and employees around them rejoiced. Grace, a legendary player in the Indian women’s game, played for the country 95 times since her debut in 2013. She ended her international career on a high note by winning her third SAFF title.

In early trade on Friday, the rupee gained 11 paise to 95. 63 against the US dollar as investors anticipated the RBI policy decision and as the India-US trade talks had produced positive news.

Forex dealers predicted that the rupee will gradually return to the 95. 00-95. 20 area in the near term if the RBI indicates a cautious attitude toward inflation and currency stability in its policy decision, as the 96. 00 zone continues to be a formidable resistance area for USDINR.

In early trading on the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 95. 72 before reaching 95. 63, a gain of 11 paise from its prior close.

The rupee increased by 2 paise on Thursday, closing at 95. 74 versus the US dollar.

The dollar index, which measures the strength of the greenback versus six different currencies, was up 0. 01 percent at 99. 41 at the same time.

The worldwide oil benchmark, Brent crude, rose 0. 40% to USD 95. 41 per barrel in futures trading.

Traders said that market players are now concentrating on the Reserve Bank of India’s MPC rate announcement on June 5 as inflation, growth, and the rupee are in the spotlight.

According to Amit Pabari, managing director of CR Forex Advisors, a more cautious RBI stance on inflation would further support debt inflows into India, giving the rupee additional cushion.

In addition to the promising news from the India-US trade talks, Pabari said that with the talks nearing their conclusion, investors are optimistic that progress on trade might enhance sentiment and boost future capital flows into India. Markets are also awaiting the RBI.

Sensex gained 269. 93 points to 74,629. 94 in early trading on the domestic equity market, while Nifty rose 62. 4 points to 23,478. 95.

The first Tech Business Forum was hosted by India and the European Union in the country’s capital on Thursday. This was a crucial step in strengthening digital and trade relations as part of the Trade and Technology Council (TTC).

According to an official statement by the European Union, the forum gathered together companies, decision-makers, researchers, think tanks, and civil society, building on the Comprehensive Strategic Agenda Towards 2030, which was agreed upon by EU and Indian leaders earlier this year.

The event aimed to promote joint innovation and growth as well as strengthen private sector collaboration.

According to the statement, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the EU Delegation to India and Bhutan put together the Forum. It received backing from major industry players like the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM) and the Federation of European Business in India (FEBI).

The Team Europe initiative included Herve Delphin, the EU ambassador, as well as representatives from Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, as well as ambassadors from Lithuania, Diana Mickeviciene, and Sweden, Jan Thesleff.

More than 100 Indian and European technology companies engaged in debates on cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, data governance, digital public infrastructure, and semiconductors, with an emphasis on improving private sector collaboration.

To foster fresh business possibilities in both areas, participants looked into methods to increase interoperability, collaborate on standards, and make it easier to access markets.

The forum also highlighted the significance of co-creation throughout industry, research, and innovation ecosystems, ‘marking the start of a more action-driven phase of TTC cooperation,’ the statement read.

It underlined that the Forum also acts as a means of putting into effect both the EU-India Free Trade Agreement, which was just negotiated, and the Administrative Arrangement on Advanced Electronic Signatures and Seals, which was signed under TTC in January 2026, thereby facilitating business-to-business cooperation between the two economic behemoths.

In addition, the freshly opened European Legal Gateway Office in India is a pilot project designed to help Indian ICT professionals, students, and researchers move to the EU and meet the EU Digital Decade aim of 20 million ICT specialists by 2030.

According to the statement, the cornerstone of the alliance is a shared dedication to utilizing digital technologies to foster competitiveness, guarantee dependable administration, and create robust value chains.

India’s rapidly growing digital economy, defined by its extensive digital public infrastructure, dynamic innovation ecosystem, and ambitious national initiatives in semiconductors, telecoms, and AI, places it as a strategic partner for the EU.

Both regions, it continued, are well-positioned to work together to develop global digital standards and frameworks, making sure that technological progress is inclusive, safe, and advantageous for everyone.

Herve Delphin, EU Ambassador to India, spoke at the occasion and stressed the significance of the EU-India Technology relationship: Working with reputable allies like India is necessary in today’s fractured globe to diversify supply chains and lessen excessive dependence on particular regions and sources.

India provides scale, talent, and dynamic technological applications, while Europe brings strengths in innovation, regulation, and sophisticated technology. We share common principles regarding data privacy and human-centered technology.

Using the full potential of the FTA, the Trade and Technology Council demonstrates our shared resolve to collaborate our ecosystems and exploit our complementarities. Businesses, researchers, and investors are crucial in putting policies into practice.

The first forum of its sort showed that stakeholders on both sides acknowledge the enormous potential of EU-India tech cooperation, which collectively accounts for a quarter of the world’s GDP and a quarter of the world’s demographics.

In the opening session, S. Krishnan, Secretary of MeitY, expressed his opinions: “India and the EU have a common ground when discussing confidence in partnerships, not just as allies but also as designers of a future in which technology helps humanity, not the other way around. ” This is a mutual obligation rather than just shared values. Our collaboration is vital and may have a real global impact in a world where resilience is contingent on diversified supply networks.

Sibi George, Secretary (West) of the Ministry of External Affairs, supported this hope in his closing comments by saying: The India-EU collaboration is distinguished by its predictability, trustworthiness, and strategic depth in this dynamic environment.

The statement stressed that the forum’s results would support the development of the next stages of digital and trade cooperation between India and the EU, keeping business and innovation at the heart of the relationship.

Doddalahalli Kempegowda Shivakumar, commonly known as D. K. Shivakumar, the president of the Karnataka Congress, was sworn in as the 25th Chief Minister of Karnataka at a magnificent event held at the Glass House in Bengaluru’s Lok Bhavan grounds on Wednesday.

Amidst loud shouts from his supporters, Shivakumar made his way to the platform and began by placing floral tributes to the picture of Sri Veera Gangadhara Swamiji, also known as Nonavinakere Ajja, Ajjayya, or Veera Gangadhara Ajja. Following the pledge of loyalty and secrecy, he stepped up to the podium to offer his respects.

With a copy of the Constitution in his hands, Shivakumar swore the oath and invoked Veera Gangadhara Ajja, the well-known spiritual figure he views as his guide.

The ceremony began with the performance of Vande Mataram. The Karnataka State Police Band followed this with the National Anthem. During the procedures, the national anthem was also performed.

Shalini Rajneesh, the Government of Karnataka’s chief secretary, gave the ceremony’s attendees and guests a warm greeting. Shivakumar honoured Siddaramaiah, the departing Chief Minister, by covering his shoulders with a shawl before the formal event started.

AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge, Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Congress leader V. D. Satheesan from Kerala, AICC General Secretary K. C. Venugopal, AICC General Secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala, and other senior Congress leaders were among the dignitaries present at the event, including Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court Vibhu Bakhru.

Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh asked Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot for permission to continue with the swearing-in ceremony at the beginning.

After the Governor had given his approval, the oath-taking ceremony officially started.

Shivakumar took office as Chief Minister during the ceremony, which also included a sizable gathering of party members and supporters, constitutional authorities, and prominent Congress figures.

The occasion ushered in a new chapter in Karnataka politics.

Subject to fulfilling other statutory criteria, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has stated that promoters or directors’ cousins will not be considered related individuals under listing laws.

This may allow such people to be considered for independent director roles.

In response to informal advise sought by Maithan Alloys, which had asked for a regulatory interpretation of whether a promoter-group member’s cousin might be eligible for appointment as an independent director under current rules, the clarification was issued.

After the business suggested hiring someone who was connected to a promoter-group member and wanted clarification as to whether such a relationship would infringe the independence criteria outlined in SEBI’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR) Regulations, the question was raised.

According to the market monitor, the interpretation is based on the legal definition of relative as defined by relevant legislation.

It pointed out that the Companies Act’s and SEBI’s LODR rules’ definition of “relative” is limited to direct family members like spouses, parents, children, and siblings, and does not include cousins.

SEBI declared that cousins are not automatically considered related parties for determining the eligibility of an independent director after reviewing the information the company provided.

SEBI stated that the candidate’s suitability for an independent director post at the company might be evaluated based on the information supplied.

However, the regulator stated that businesses must adhere to all other independence criteria, including conditions regarding shareholding, financial interests, financial ties, and other legal exams.

Additionally, the market regulator stated that the advice is based exclusively on the information given by the applicant and shouldn’t be regarded as a binding decision of the regulator, adding that different facts or circumstances may result in a different interpretation.
