Budget 2024: Green energy sector pitches for GST cut, easier FDI norms; Here is the wishlist
Strengthening infrastructure, promoting public-private partnerships, and streamlining regulations are essential steps that will pave the way for a sustainable energy future. All in all these collaborations working cohesively will align the nation to achieve cleaner and more affordable energy sources,” the Industry expert said. Additionally, mandating the inclusion of solar panels in new houses above 300 square yards encourages the integration of renewable energy from the ground up, as per Industry expert. Bottlenecks for renewable energy adoptionMany states impose additional restrictions on installed transformer capacity, hindering the large-scale implementation of solar plants in development. The financial viability of numerous renewable energy initiatives has been compromised by shifting regulatory frameworks and disproportionate cess impositions, as per the Industry expert.

Polycab faces investor scepticism after income-tax findings; analysts unconvinced
Income-tax findings on an “unnamed” company perceived to be Polycab Industries and the company’s clarification failed to convince analysts. The Polycab stock corrected 21 per cent to ₹3,905 on Thursday because of a Ministry of Finance release suggesting tax evasion by the group. While retaining the “Add” rating on the stock, Axis Capital cut the target price to ₹4,300 from its previous target of ₹5,809. According to Anil R, Research analyst, Geojit Financial Services, the ongoing ₹1,000 crore tax evasion case involving Polycab awaits further clarity. Preliminary analysis suggests unaccounted cash sales, cash payments for unaccounted purchases, non-genuine transport, and subcontracting expenses to suppress taxable income.

US first lady slams 'cruel' attacks on Hunter Biden
US First Lady Jill Biden slammed Republican attacks on her troubled son Hunter and blasted Donald Trump as a threat to democracy as she came out swinging for her husband's reelection campaign Thursday. HT Image"I think what they are doing to Hunter is cruel," Jill Biden told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" talk show in a rare public defense of Hunter. The interview aired a day after a chaotic Congressional hearing during which one Republican lawmaker showed explicit pictures of Hunter Biden and another accused him of having "no balls." Hunter Biden also faces federal tax charges, for which he was due to appear in court in Los Angeles on Thursday, and gun charges. Joe Biden has always strongly defended his only surviving son, whose mother and sister died in a car crash when Hunter was a toddler -- Biden later married Jill.

IBC has been unfairly criticised
IBC, 2016 is one legislation for which the data is readily available and accessible for everyone to pass their respective verdicts. Similarly, out of 2,249 CIRPs that ended up in liquidation, it took an average of about 472 days to conclude from the liquidation commencement date (LCD). Further, about 597 liquidation procedures were closed by submission of final reports, and these took an average of about 536 days from the very LCD. On another note, voluntary liquidation procedures were completed and closed by submission of final reports within 408 days from the LCD. Is the judicial system responsible for this mismatch, or should there be some soul-searching in the banking system under the previous regime?

Settling the Sena split
The Speaker’s ruling is on slippery ground when tested against the anti-defection law, which is built around the political party, not the legislative unit. The Maharashtra Speaker concluded that the Shinde faction represents the real Sena by considering the legislative majority — the Shinde faction has 40 MLAs whereas the Thackeray group has 16 members. However, the SC in May said the legislative unit has no existence independent of the political party. This reading, which inverts the hierarchical relationship between a political party and its legislative unit, will be contested. The political import of the ruling is that the Shiv Sena, as we know it, may cease to exist.
