India’s Record Electronics Export: China, which has dominance in the field of electronics, is earning huge profits by exporting it all over the world. But now it is facing a direct challenge from India. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has said that electronic exports from the country have crossed the figure of Rs 4 lakh crore in 2025 and it is expected to increase further in the coming time. He said that electronic exports will get an additional boost after the commercial production of four semiconductor plants starts in 2026.

According to official estimates, the country’s total electronic production will reach about Rs 11.3 lakh crore in the financial year 2024-25, while exports will be around Rs 3.3 lakh crore. Posting on social media on Monday, Vaishnav said that electronic exports have crossed Rs 4 lakh crore in 2025, which has created employment opportunities and earned foreign exchange. This pace will continue in 2026 also as four semiconductor plants will start production.

Challenge to China’s supremacy

The mobile phone industry continues to dominate the electronic manufacturing sector of the country. According to industry estimates, more than 25 lakh people are getting employment in this sector. According to a report shared by the minister, iPhone exports from India will increase to Rs 2.03 lakh crore in the year 2025, which is almost double the export of Apple of Rs 1.1 lakh crore in 2024.

India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA), the industry organization of mobile manufacturers, estimates that by the end of the financial year 2025-26, mobile phone production in India will reach $ 75 billion (about Rs 6.76 lakh crore). Out of this, about 30 billion dollars i.e. about Rs 2.7 lakh crore will be exported. In the financial year 2024-25, mobile phones worth Rs 5.5 lakh crore were produced in the country, while exports from this sector stood at about Rs 2 lakh crore.

Apple’s tremendous expansion

Neel Shah, co-founder and research vice chief of market research firm Counterpoint, says that after the US tariffs were imposed on China, Apple has rapidly expanded its manufacturing in India and exported at record levels, making it an important symbol of India’s manufacturing success. He said that the production of mobile phones in India will reach about 300 million units and in 2025, one out of every four smartphones made here will be exported.

According to International Data Corporation (IDC)’s ‘Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker’ report for the third quarter of 2025, Apple recorded the highest ever supply of 5 million iPhones for the domestic market during this period. Apple’s strong hold in the premium and super-premium segments in the July-September quarter gave new impetus to the growth of India’s smartphone market.

SEBI Actions on Investment Advisors: Capital markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Thursday canceled the registration of 68 investment advisers for non-payment of renewal fees. “The certificates of registration of investment advisers vide Notice No. 1 to 68 under the Intermediaries Regulations, 2008 are cancelled,” said the order issued by SEBI’s designated authority Soma Majumdar.

The entities whose registrations have been canceled include companies and individual advisors like True North Labs Pvt Ltd, Equity Mantra, Saurabh Mundra, Sheetal Aggarwal, Atit Hemant Wagh, Gatebasis Securities and Technologies India Pvt Ltd, Lucid Technologies and Avenue Venture Partners Investment Advisors LLP.

As per SEBI’s Investment Advisor (IA) Regulations, every registered investment advisor is required to deposit renewal fees every five years from the date of grant of registration.

Action after show-cause notice

The regulator said that despite repeatedly informing these institutions about the expiry of the deadline, they did not pay the fee. Between February and June, SEBI had issued several show-cause notices to them. Since their certificate had already expired, SEBI considered cancellation of registration as a necessary step to avoid a situation of misusing the registration to mislead investors. Majumdar said in the order that the certificates of the noticeholders have already become inactive, hence their registrations are canceled under the Intermediaries Regulations, 2008.

On the other hand, SEBI has relaxed the educational qualification criteria for Investment Advisors (IA) and Research Analysts (RA). Now people who have graduated in any discipline will be able to apply for registration in both these categories. However, it will be mandatory to pass the certification examination of National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM) to maintain domain knowledge and professional competence.

Till now, for registration, applicants were required to have a graduate/post-graduate degree in finance-related fields like finance, business management, commerce, economics or capital markets. According to the new system, now graduate candidates from law, engineering or any other subject will also be eligible to become investment advisors and research analysts.

Gautam Adani on Indology Mission: Taking a big step towards giving global recognition to the Indian knowledge tradition, Gautam Adani has announced to give Rs 100 crore for the development of ‘India Knowledge Graph’.

Under this mission, Adani Group and IKS have decided to support 14 PhD researchers from IITs, IIMs and leading universities for five years. The areas of study of these researchers include Panini grammar, computational linguistics, ancient astronomy, indigenous health systems, sustainability principles embedded in traditional engineering, political thought and classical literature.

India’s top 1% grew wealth by 62%: The gap between rich and poor is continuously deepening in India. According to a new report by the G-20, the wealth of the top 1 percent of the country’s richest people has increased by 62 percent between 2000 and 2023. This report has been prepared under the chairmanship of South Africa and it has expressed serious concern over the increasing level of inequality.

The growing gap between rich and poor

This study, prepared under the leadership of Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, says that global inequality has now reached emergency level. This is a big threat not only to economic stability but also to the progress of democracy and climate change.

The report states that 41% of the new global wealth acquired between 2000 and 2024 has gone to only the top 1% of the rich, while the bottom 50% have gained only 1% of the wealth.

Comparison of India and China

While in India the wealth of the top 1% people has increased by 62%, in China this increase was 54%. According to the report, due to increase in per capita income in both the countries, the inequality between the countries has decreased slightly, but the inequality within the countries has increased to an alarming level.

The report says that economic inequality is not an inevitability, but it is the result of political and policy decisions, which can be changed with strong political will.

possible to reduce inequality

The report suggested that, just as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) works to monitor climate change, an “International Panel on Equality (IPE)” should be created, which would collect official data on global inequality and provide recommendations to governments.

Independent experts like economists Jayati Ghosh, Winnie Byanyima and Imran Valodia were involved in preparing this report. He warned that if the gap between rich and poor continues to increase like this, it may affect the democratic structure, social unity and economic development.
