ED officials noted said although many criminal assets are secured, they often remain unproductive until final confiscation orders are passed by the courts. To accelerate restitution, the agency utilised provisions for Non-Conviction Based Confiscation under the PMLA, as well as the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act.
These efforts were bolstered through collaboration with banks, financial institutions, state govts, resolution professionals, and legal officers. The Hyderabad zonal office also recorded a significant number of property attachments and enforcement case information reports, further strengthening its contribution to the ED's national enforcement efforts.

The exports stood at USD 5.75 billion in 2024-25. The US was the top destination for Indian exporters with shipments worth USD 957 million (about 20 per cent share). It was followed by the UK (11 per cent) and Germany. Live Events "We are expecting about 18 per cent growth this year. Promotion of manufacturing in the country will help further boost exports and job creation," Jalan added. He said that a trade pact with the US will help increase the share in the American market. At present, this labour-intensive sector attracts 18.5 per cent duty in the US. The two countries are major players in the global footwear sector. Vietnam is a major global hub for manufacturing and exporting footwear, while Taiwan plays a key role in the design, development, and production of footwear for leading international brands. He also urged the government to roll out the focused product scheme for the footwear and leather sectors announced in the Budget to enhance productivity, competitiveness and exports. The scheme will support design capacity, component manufacturing, and machinery required for the production of non-leather quality footwear. Sharing similar views, Kanpur-based Growmore International Ltd MD Yadvendra Singh Sachan said Taiwanese companies have already invested in firms in Tamil Nadu. "They have the best technologies in the non-leather footwear sector. Their entry will help domestic firms in increasing quality production," Sachan said, adding huge opportunities are there for investments in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar because of the availability of affordable labour in these states. He said that Growmore International is also looking for collaborations with foreign firms to enhance the productivity of leather articles.

Gold prices may soften mid-term if global risks ease, says World Gold Council
Gold price may experience e mid-term weakness if geopolitical and trade risks globally ease, or higher opportunity costs if the US dollar and Treasury yields rise, according to a report released by the World Gold Council. Slowing central bank gold purchase and retail investment demand could also lead to mid-term gold price adjustment, WGC added. Gold prices were hovering around Rs 97,511 per 10 gm last Friday. Gold's recent bull run has attracted tremendous attention. After bottoming on 3 November 2022, the gold price has more than doubled from US$1,429/oz to US$3,287/oz, equivalent to a 30% compound annual growth has been supported by consistent central bank purchases as well as soaring geopolitical and, more recently, trade risks; all this has dwarfed the negative impact from rising real rates amid rate hikes by central banks and cooling inflation between November 2022 and August 2024. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ¡Kit alarma con cámara Wi-Fi: ¡Precio increíble por tiempo limitado!

And we have studied previous bear runs for gold and analysed the factors that could lead to mid- or longer-term pullbacks, based on historical patterns. "While we don't consider these likely, longer-term pullbacks could come from more persistent and structural demand shifts which may lead to notable declines in gold's investment demand from both institutions and retail investors as well as rapid rises in supply." WGC said in the report. Live Events
