Food and Consumer Affairs Ministry said on Friday. The ministry prescribes monthly stock holding limits for white/refined sugar to prevent hoarding and control price increases. For April, the stock holding limit is set at 23.5 lakh tonnes. In a directive issued to mills, the ministry said it has found repeated violations by some group and individual sugar mills despite previous warnings, prompting the issuance of new, stricter guidelines. Key penalties include: for first-time violations, 100 per cent of excess sugar sold will be deducted from the subsequent month's release quota. Subsequent violations will see progressively higher deductions: 115 per cent for the second, 130 per cent for the third, and 150 per cent for the fourth violation. Mills dispatching less than 90 per cent of quota without intimation will have restricted future allocations.

Digital security Apple wellness Trade country Equality Tit-for-tat tariffs looming, EU mulls concessions for US

Donald Trump's administration to secure the partial removal of the US tariffs that have already started hitting the bloc's exports and that are set to increase after April 2. European Union officials were told at meetings this week in Washington that there was no way to avoid new auto and so-called reciprocal tariffs that Trump is launching next week, according to people familiar with the talks. Discussions also began on what the contours of a potential deal to reduce them should eventually look like. That has prompted the European Commission, which handles trade matters for the EU, to start working on a «term sheet» for a potential agreement, which would set out areas for negotiations on the punitive trade measures, including lowering its own duties, mutual investments with the US as well as easing certain regulations and standards, said the people. VAT considered fair The reciprocal tariffs are meant to strike out against what Trump considers to be unfair levies on US goods as well as non-tariff barriers, like domestic regulations and how countries collect taxes, including the bloc's value-added tax, digital taxes and regulations. The EU says its VAT is a fair, non-discriminatory tax that applies equally to domestic and imported goods. A spokesperson from the commission declined to comment.

It upheld the 2022 guidelines issued by the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) that prohibited hotels and restaurants from automatically levying a 'service charge' on food bills, reinforcing that these payments must remain voluntary. Dismissing the petitions filed by the Federation of Hotels and Restaurant Associations of India (FHRAI) and the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI), which challenged the CCPA’s power to issue such guidelines, Justice Prathiba M Singh said that the Authority is not merely a recommendatory body but is fully empowered and has the jurisdiction to pass the guidelines under the CPA, 2019. “In fact, issuing guidelines in consumer interest is an essential function of CCPA and the guidelines would have to be mandatorily complied with as the scheme of the Act clearly provides for enforcement of guidelines, which would not curtail fundamental rights it held.

Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) hasn’t allowed Delhi Airport to increase charges on domestic departing passengers from Rs 129 for the period of 2024-2029. The GMR group-owned airport had sought higher User Development Fee (UDF) ranging from from Rs405 to Rs 610 depending on peak hours and non-peak hours. UDF is a fee levied by operators to recover the expense they have incurred upgrading infrastructure at airports. A Parliamentary Affairs Committee had earlier expressed their dissatisfaction over “arbitrary” rise in user development fees (UDF) and ticket prices, arguing that the existing framework lacks mechanisms to hold private operators accountable.

UPS Aware Southern Research Experts 2020 The Great Himalayan Earthquake: A matter of 'when' not 'if'

In India, the Himalayas are most prone to earthquakes. Experts have highlighted the possibility of a 'Great Himalayan Earthquake'. Any major seismic activity in the region always brings to fore this vulnerability. The impact of such a large earthquake of magnitude of 8 or above can also impact the National Capital Region of Delhi. A matter of 'when' not 'if' American geophysicist Roger Bilham has warned that the Himalayas are the only place in the world where a large quake can occur on land. «India slides 2m beneath the southern edge of Tibet every century. Unfortunately, its northern edge does not slide smoothly but is hung-up (by friction) for hundreds of years and catches up in minutes when this friction is overcome. The slip events, which we call earthquakes, are the inevitable and unavoidable consequence of this motion,» Bilham had told TOI in an interview in 2020. Bilham has explained why the Great Himalayan Earthquake is inevitable even though experts can't say exactly when it can happen. «Great earthquakes with magnitudes exceeding 8 on the Richter scale have been occurring in the Himalayas every few hundred years. We have geological evidence that earthquakes as large as M=8.7 have occurred many times in the past 2,000 years. However, no magnitude 8 earthquakes have occurred in the past 70 years to release the pressure in the Himalayan arc. Two or more regions of the Himalayas must soon rupture in a great earthquake. It is not a matter of “possibly”. They must occur. Unfortunately, scientists are unable to offer any insight into their precise timing,» Bilham had told TOI.

Waters BAY Food community DISH Celebrity cover Best Food for Eid-ul-Fitr 2025: The best dishes to celebrate the festive feast

Due to the incredible diversity of Muslim communities in the subcontinent, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and multicultural Australia, households and cultures prepare and consume Eid al-Fitr foods in unique ways. Muslims prepare to celebrate Eid al-Fitr after observing Ramadan, the holy month of prayer and fasting, which is just a few days away. Families gather and celebrate with a feast of food, which is a staple of any celebration, while the day begins with prayer and customs. Eid ul-Fitr is celebrated differently in each Muslim culture. In Turkey, for example, children receive candy and sugar-coated almonds as part of the celebration. Sweets such as Ghoriba Bahla, Fekkas, and Kaab el Ghazal are essential to Moroccan holiday celebrations. In Indonesia, however, celebrations include the preparation of traditional foods such as Ketupat, which is considered a symbol of blessings and forgiveness.

economy Fitch Trade President country reports India, Brazil, other emerging nations face higher risk of US reciprocal tariffs

Emerging economies such as India, Brazil and Vietnam, which impose tariff on American imports higher than what the US levies on them, face a high risk of reciprocal tariffs, global ratings agency Fitch said. “Brazil, India, Thailand, Malaysia, South Africa, Turkey and, on a simple average tariff basis, Vietnam and Indonesia, impose notably higher tariffs on exports from the US relative to tariffs imposed by the US on imports from these countries,” it said. US President Donald Trump has threatened with his reciprocal tariffs announcement on April 2 against trading partners he says have been “ripping off” the country by imposing high levies. As per the Fitch report, the tariffs in these economies were higher, both on a simple and trade-weighted average basis. “On a simple average basis, the highest differentials are in Brazil, India and Turkey,” Fitch said.
