Further, a draft district action plan has been prepared by the regional authorities of the
Directorate General of Foreign Trade
(DGFT) for 590 districts.
Out of this, 249 are formally notified by DEPCs.
These plans include a broad strategy for promotion of exports from districts, the official said.

The Centre is promoting states to engage in export promotion activities as it would help boost domestic manufacturing and job creation.
"State export strategy has been prepared in 28 states/UTs," the official added. These include
Uttar Pradesh
, Maharashtra, and Karnataka.
In the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) 2023, the DGFT has included the 'Districts As Export Hubs' initiative with an aim to channelise the potential and diverse identity of each district of the country to make them export hubs.
Towards this goal, the products and services with export potential in all the districts of the country have been identified, and an institutional mechanism in the form of SEPC at the state/UT level and DEPCs at the district level has been created in all districts to provide support for export promotion and address the bottlenecks for export growth.
District export action plans are being prepared for identified products and services, to benefit both producers and manufacturers - addressing challenges to export, identifying infrastructural bottlenecks, supply chain gaps, improving market accessibility and providing handholding for increasing exports.
India's exports remained flat at USD 35.14 billion in June due to global economic uncertainties, while the trade deficit narrowed to a four-month low of USD 18.78 billion during the month.
During April-June 2025-26, exports increased 1.92 per cent to USD 112.17 billion, while imports rose 4.24 per cent to USD 179.44 billion.

Jury orders Tesla to pay more than $200 million in Autopilot crash case
A Miami jury decided that Elon Musk's car company Tesla was partly responsible for a deadly crash in Florida involving its Autopilot driver assist technology and must pay the victims more than USD 200 million in punitive damages. The federal jury held that Tesla bore significant responsibility because its technology failed and that not all the blame can be put on a reckless driver, even one who admitted he was distracted by his cell phone before hitting a young couple out gazing at the stars. The decision comes as Musk seeks to convince Americans his cars are safe enough to drive on their own as he plans to roll out a driverless taxi service in several cities in the coming months. The decision ends a four-year long case remarkable not just in its outcome but that it even made it to trial. Many similar cases against Tesla have been dismissed and, when that didn't happen, settled by the company to avoid the spotlight of a trial. This will open the floodgates, said Miguel Custodio, a car crash lawyer not involved in the Tesla case. It will embolden a lot of people to come to court. The case also included startling charges by lawyers for the family of the deceased, 22-year-old, Naibel Benavides Leon, and for her injured boyfriend, Dillon Angulo. They claimed Tesla either hid or lost key evidence, including data and video recorded seconds before the accident. Tesla has previously faced criticism that it is slow to cough up crucial data by relatives of other victims in Tesla crashes, accusations that the car company has denied. In this case, the plaintiffs showed Tesla had the evidence all along, despite its repeated denials, by hiring a forensic data expert who dug it up. Tesla said it made a mistake after being shown the evidence and honestly hadn't thought it was there. It's not clear how much of a hit to Tesla's reputation for safety the verdict in the Miami case will make. Tesla has vastly improved its technology since the crash on a dark, rural road in Key Largo, Florida, in 2019.

Forest tag stalls land allotment for Haveri industrial corridor
Haveri: The industrial corridor planned near Ganajur and Koluru villages in Haveri is experiencing setbacks concerning 68 acres of forest or revenue land confusion. Despite local farmers cultivating this land for years without proper documentation, the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) is unable to provide compensation owing to its legal classification as forest land, thereby impeding the project. Over 125 entrepreneurs requested land allocation to establish industries near Haveri's district headquarters. Sources indicate that while the 68 acres originally belonged to the revenue department, forest authorities previously planted saplings there. Subsequently, residents of Kolur began cultivation without proper documentation. The forest department now asserts its ownership of this land. Previously, the govt decided to establish an industrial corridor between Ganajur and Kolur across 407 acres, comprising both govt and private land. Within this, the first phase involving a 200-acre industrial layout was contracted to Bengaluru-based SRC Infra. While the initial phase is 80% complete, farmers are resisting development in the second phase. "At least 59 farmers have been claiming that they are cultivating 68 acres of land in Koluru village, but these farmers don't have any documents. These farmers have been demanding compensation like other private landowners whose land was acquired for the purpose. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How to Trade ETH/USD Without Holding Ether IC Markets Learn More Undo But without proper ownership of the property, KIADB could not provide compensation to the farmers," stated a senior revenue department official. Deputy commissioner Vijay Mahantesh Danammanavar conducted a meeting with KIADB officials, Haveri tahsildar, and forest authorities, delegating land-related responsibilities to the tahsildar. "I asked for a detailed report from the tahsildar of Haveri after receiving applications from the farmers who claim to have been cultivating govt land for a long time. We will submit the report to the govt, and the govt will make a decision. We will complete the development works of the first phase of the industrial corridor by the end of Dec," assured DC Danammanavar. Entrepreneur Ramesh Ballari noted that numerous individuals waiting to establish industries have applied for land in the new corridor. However, land disputes persist despite ongoing construction. "Following this, many entrepreneurs are frustrated because they are not able to execute their ideas through their startups. The KIADB and department of industries and commerce (DIC) should complete the corridor work and allot layouts as early as possible," he demanded. Attempts to reach Ashok Pyati, joint director of the DIC for comments were unsuccessful.

'Firms are adjusting to a very different cost structure and holding off on hiring.'Trump's Tariffs: A Major Obstacle to GrowthPresident Donald Trump's sweeping 2025 tariff agenda is emerging as a key factor weighing down job creation.
