The minister proposed this collaboration during the G7 Trade Ministers' meeting at Reggio Calabria, Italy.

import of precious metals from the UAE under a free trade agreement with India. GTRI demanded an investigation, citing the negative impact on the domestic jewellery industry and potential annual revenue loss for India, PTI reported. The key issue centers around the India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) that permits unlimited imports of gold, silver, platinum, and diamonds from the UAE into India with zero tariffs in the coming years. GTRI's report highlighted that addressing these issues is crucial to ensure the integrity of import practices, safeguard domestic industries, and prevent significant revenue losses. The report noted that the zero-tariff policy under CEPA could cause an annual revenue loss of Rs 63,375 crore due to duty-free imports of gold and silver, based on FY2024 import levels. This policy is also likely to shift import business from banks to a few private traders and replace top suppliers with Dubai-based firms.

Scientists discovered indications of an accessible underground cave beneath the moon's surface. The underground cave is close to where Apollo 11 landed. It is 250 miles (400 kilometers) from where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed 55 years ago. Researchers analyzed radar measurements taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and matched the results to lava tubes on Earth. They published their findings in the journal Nature Astronomy. According to the scientists, the radar data merely exposes the early phase of the subsurface hollow. They estimate it to be at least 130 feet (40 metres) wide and tens of yards (metres) long, if not more.

Russia’s new nuclear space weapon has spurred White House and congressional warnings about Moscow’s irresponsibility on the global stage. Russia’s move isn’t surprising, given its frustration over the war with Ukraine and its failure to contain or fracture the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Yet this is another chapter in Moscow’s long decline in space leadership.

Russia, including by encouraging rupee-rouble trade and pushing Moscow to lift non-tariff barriers, New Delhi said on Monday, in the wake of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Moscow. Old partners India and Russia have stepped up trade since Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022, but the increase has been overwhelmingly one-way, dominated by India buying Russian oil shunned by traditional customers in Europe. Surging Russian exports to India accounted for $61.43 billion of the $65.7 billion in trade between the two countries in the last fiscal year that ended in March.

renewable energy has been going through a dry patch. Generation from solar farms roughly tripled between 2018 and 2023, while the output of wind turbines almost doubled. That provided enough extra clean energy to power Japan and Russia, put together. Meanwhile, the hydroelectric dams that generate about one-seventh of the world’s electricity stood still: The additional 52 terawatt-hours in 2023 was only enough to fuel Greece. That’s not overly surprising. Hydro’s problems resemble those of the other veteran form of clean power, nuclear. Unlike wind and solar, it’s been an established technology for decades, so much of its growth potential has already been exploited. Like nuclear, it’s dependent on the building of costly and time-consuming projects to move forward, and shows little sign of reducing its (already low) costs. Compounding the problems, a two-year drought connected to the La Niña climate cycle during 2022 and 2023 caused a collapse of generation in China, home to about a third of the world’s hydro dams.
