Nov-07-2025

Indian markets trimmed some losses in early afternoon session but continued to trade in red.  Traders were cautious ahead of India’s Consumer price index (CPI) data, which scheduled to be release on November 12. However, losses got trimmed as Union Minister of Science & Technology Jitendra Singh has said that India has emerged as a global torchbearer in linking economic progress with environmental sustainability, guided by the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to achieve a net-zero target by 2070 and encourage a lifestyle in harmony with nature through the LiFE- Lifestyle for Environment movement. On the global front, Asian markets were trading mostly in red as China's exports declined unexpectedly in October and imports growth slowed sharply. Exports dropped 1.1 percent on a yearly basis in October, in contrast to the 8.3 percent increase in September and also confounded expectations for an increase of 3.0 percent.

Meanwhile, Union Minister of Science & Technology Jitendra Singh has said that India has emerged as a global torchbearer in linking economic progress with environmental sustainability, guided by the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to achieve a net-zero target by 2070 and encourage a lifestyle in harmony with nature through the LiFE- Lifestyle for Environment movement.

The Minister observed that Asia lies at the centre of global transformation, marked by impressive industrial and economic dynamism, yet contributing to more than half of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. He also cautioned that the region faces growing vulnerability to extreme weather events, including heatwaves, floods, and water stress, if emissions continue at current levels.
Singh pointed out that urbanization, while a symbol of progress, has also emerged as a major challenge due to unplanned expansion, encroachment on floodplains, depletion of groundwater reserves, and rising pollution levels. Calling for stronger regional and international partnerships, Singh said that India has been at the forefront of global cooperation through initiatives such as the International Solar Alliance (ISA) and the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI). He reiterated that Asia, being both the most dynamic and most vulnerable region, must collaborate closely to ensure a resilient, low-carbon, and equitable future.
