Indian Economy Remains A Key Driver Of Global Growth: RBI
New Delhi: Despite an uncertain and challenging global economic backdrop, the Indian economy remains a key driver of global growth, underpinned by sound macroeconomic fundamentals and prudent macroeconomic policies, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said on Monday. The Reserve Bank, in the June 2025 issue of its 'Financial Stability Report (FSR)', said that elevated economic and trade policy uncertainties are testing the resilience of the global economy and the financial system. 'Financial markets remain volatile, especially core government bond markets, driven by shifting policy and geopolitical environment. Alongside, existing vulnerabilities such as soaring public debt levels and elevated asset valuations have the potential to amplify fresh shocks,' it read. However, the domestic financial system is exhibiting resilience fortified by healthy balance sheets of banks and non-banks, said the Central Bank. Financial conditions have eased supported by accommodative monetary policy and low volatility in financial markets. The strength of the corporate balance sheets also lends support to overall macroeconomic stability. 'The soundness and resilience of scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) are bolstered by robust capital buffers, multi-decadal low non-performing loans ratio and strong earnings,' the RBI report mentioned. Results of macro stress tests affirm that most SCBs have adequate capital buffers relative to the regulatory minimum even under adverse stress scenarios. Stress tests also validate the resilience of mutual funds and clearing corporations. 'Non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) remain healthy with sizable capital buffers, robust earnings and improving asset quality. The consolidated solvency ratio of the insurance sector also remains above the minimum threshold limit,' it noted. In this global milieu, the Indian economy remains a key driver of global growth. Growth momentum is buoyed by strong domestic growth drivers, sound macroeconomic fundamentals and prudent policies. 'Nonetheless, external spillovers and weather-related events could pose downside risks to growth. The outlook for inflation, on the other hand, is benign and there is greater confidence in the durable alignment of inflation with the Reserve Bank's target,' said Sanjay Malhotra, Governor, RBI. Financial sector regulators remain committed to protecting customers, promoting competition and fostering innovation as they strike the right balance between improving efficiency and growth, and safety and soundness. 'Financial stability, like price stability, is a necessary condition, and not a sufficient one to boost India's potential growth. As custodians of financial stability, we must endeavour to develop a well-functioning financial system that not only promotes macroeconomic stability but also provides financial services efficiently,' said Malhotra.

India On Alert As Turkey Steps Up Military Support To Pakistan After Operation Sindoor
Last Updated: Pakistan is acquiring 80 KARGI drones from Turkey, raising security concerns for India. Turkey, Pakistan's second-largest arms supplier, supports its military. After suffering a huge blow from the Indian side during Operation Sindoor, Pakistan has been ramping up its drone arsenal and solidifying its defence ties with Turkey in what Indian officials describe as a 'dangerous and provocative military axis." According to intelligence sources, Pakistan is in advanced talks with Turkey to acquire 80 KARGI loitering munitions—autonomous drones capable of striking targets over a 500-nautical-mile radius, reaching altitudes of 15,000 feet, and delivering 18 kg warheads. The deal, estimated at $20 million, comes as part of a broader pattern of post-war replenishment, with Pakistan already receiving 50 YIHA UAVs without a formal contract and preparing to induct up to 550 more, supported by anti-jamming systems and ground control stations. The Turkey-Pakistan relationship has deepened dramatically in recent years. Based on shared geopolitical objectives and ideological leanings—particularly around Kashmir and pan-Islamic solidarity—the alliance has evolved into a full-spectrum strategic partnership. Turkey has become Pakistan's second-largest arms supplier after China, with Turkish arms exports to Pakistan rising 103% between 2015–2019 and 2020–2024. The key deals include: acquisition of Bayraktar TB2 drones and Kemankes cruise missiles, procurement of Asisguard Songar armed UAVs for tactical strikes, a $1.5 billion deal for four MILGEM-class corvettes to modernise Pakistan's navy and upgrades to Pakistan's Agosta 90B submarines. Turkey's Support For Pakistan During Op Sindoor Experts opine that the Pakistan-Turkey partnership continues to extend to joint ventures in satellite technology, cyber warfare, and space exploration, further complementing Pakistan's military capabilities. They view this axis as a multi-dimensional threat to India. With Pakistan investing heavily in loitering munitions, deception systems, and long-range targeting tools, India has stepped up its procurement of counter-drone systems, electronic warfare units, and is deepening security cooperation with countries like Greece and Armenia, both of which share strained ties with Turkey.

"Ab aayega Captain Cool powder, oil, deodorant": Fans imagine the wackiest products Dhoni could launch
As news broke that former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni has filed a trademark application for the phrase 'Captain Cool', social media lit up with a flurry of hilarious and surprisingly informed reactions. The term, famously linked to Dhoni's unshakeable calm on the cricket field, is now set to become official property. According to the Trade Marks Registry portal, Dhoni's application, filed on June 5 and listed under Class 41 (sports training, coaching, and facilities), was accepted and advertised on June 16. While the trademark is focused on sports services, that didn't stop netizens from imagining a full-blown product universe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Photos Captured the Exact Wrong Moment Read More Undo 'Ab aayega Captain Cool powder, oil, deodorant,' joked one user, summing up the mood online. — Being_Humor (@Being_Humor) Live Events On X (formerly Twitter), another user cheekily imagined a lineup of Captain Cool-branded underwear, condoms, and slippers, before clarifying that the registration is strictly for sports-related services: 'nothing cheeky like that just yet!' — ramnit1983 (@ramnit1983) Another user weighed in on the trend of celebrities trademarking fan-given nicknames: 'Next he'll trademark Thala. Someone will trademark King, Hitman etc. One has already done for letters S R and K.' — rkver2 (@rkver2) Many saw Dhoni's move as a strategic step towards launching his own sports academy or coaching brand. 'Bhai Class 41 is for training, entertainment and sporting,' tweeted another user. 'Woh academy khol raha hai apni. Tael sabun ki dukaan nahi.' — sharesandlife (@sharesandlife) Some couldn't resist taking it a step further. A parody list of future endorsements imagined by @ashishdeora69 included: Captain Cool Saria (construction steel) Captain Cool Dairy Products Captain Cool Tractor ('Ranchi farmers ki choices') And of course, Captain Cool chaddi-baniyan — ashishdeora69 (@ashishdeora69) While Dhoni hasn't commented on the filing, the timing is notable. The former skipper was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame earlier this month, alongside greats like Matthew Hayden and Hashim Amla. The ICC praised Dhoni for his 'extraordinary consistency, fitness and longevity,' and called him 'one of the game's greatest finishers, leaders and wicketkeepers.'
