    The Indian government is actively looking at supporting and promoting homegrown options in a whole range of areas beyond just messaging platforms or business software, sources in the know of the plans, said to businessline’s Sindhu Hariharan The idea is to develop and highlight India’s own solutions across categories like Operating Systems, social media platforms, email systems, mapping technologies, cybersecurity, app stores, and others, to avoid “access disruptions” due to use of global providers, they added. While government agencies like C-DAC steer R&D across various emerging tech, the authorities realise that they will have to align with academic institutions to create more Indian IP and also bring private sector enterprises into the discussion to promote the various homegrown options that already exist, the source added. 2.In other news, The government on Thursday said the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) has received 249 applications with investment proposals worth ₹1.15 lakh crore, which is much higher than expected, and also employment and production targets multifold when compared to the goals set during formulation of the scheme. The scheme was approved by the Cabinet in March this year and its application window closed on September 30. Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister for Electronics and Information Technology said “It’s resulting into investment, employment and extra production against a target which was again a very ambitious target we have taken of ₹59,350 crore investment, we have received applications for ₹1,15,351 crore. Against a production target of ₹4,56,500 crore, we have received production estimates more than ₹10,34,000 crore. So, that is more than double what we have targeted,” , reports S Ronendra Singh 3.The government on Thursday issued detailed rules under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, creating a framework to govern India’s fast-growing digital gaming ecosystem. The rules, published by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), set out the powers of a newly established Online Gaming Authority of India, procedures for registration of games, grievance redressal systems for users, and penalties for violations. The rules are expected to bring long-awaited clarity for companies straddling the line between casual play, e-sports and money-based gaming. Under the framework, the Authority will determine whether a game qualifies as an “online money game” — involving wagers, stakes or cash prizes — or whether it falls under “social games” or “e-sports.” 4.Despite a slowdown in sales for nearly 20 days during the new GST 2.0 transition, the pure electric vehicle two-wheeler (e-2W) registrations rose by 2 per cent in September 2025 to 92,536 units as against 91,091 units in August 2025, according to data collated from the Vahan portal on October 1 , reports TE Raja Simhan. TVS Motor led the table with 21,132 units but saw a 4.3 per cent drop in volume over August. Magnet availability continues to pose challenges in the short to medium term, the company said in a release. Bajaj reported a 67 per cent growth to 19,469 units, and dislodged Ola to take the second spot. Ather took the third spot with 13,933 units, up by 5 per cent. Ola was at the fourth spot with 13,069 units, down by 28 per cent. Hero Motocorp was fifth with 12,730 units, down by 4.37 per cent, according to Vahan data.

    1.Reserve Bank of India expectedly left its key interest rates unchanged on Wednesday as it waited for greater clarity on the impact of US tariffs as well as playout of earlier rate cuts and recent tax reductions. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra, however, signalled scope for easing in the coming months to support the economy from any possible hit from US tariffs. The six-member monetary policy committee voted unanimously to keep the repurchase rate unchanged at 5.5 per cent and decided to continue with a "neutral" policy stance, giving it flexibility to move in either direction if needed in future. The rate-setting panel, headed by the central bank governor and comprising half of external experts, had cut interest rates by a total of 100 basis points this year before hitting a pause at its previous bimonthly meeting in August. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to remove the ₹10,000 crore ceiling imposed on bank loans to each corporate entity and said if concentration risk increases, the regulator will take macro-prudential measures to tackle the same. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is also expected to soon issue Expected Credit Loss (ECL) norms for banks and all-India financial institutions to align Indian banks’ provisioning norms with global standards. 2.South Korean electronics giant LG Electronics Inc will sell shares worth up to ₹11,628 crore through the initial public offer of its India arm, in which it will offload up to 10.2 crore shares. This values LG Electronics India at around $8.6 billion at the upper end of the price band of ₹1080-1140 per share. The company had obtained regulatory approval for the IPO in March but in April decided to call a halt to it, citing uncertain market conditions. The issue is open October 7-9, while the anchor book is open October 6. Investors can bid for a minimum of 13 shares. 3.India's manufacturing sector expansion lost some momentum last month, slipping to its weakest pace in four months but remaining strong, while factory gate prices surged at the fastest rate in nearly 12 years to combat mounting input costs, a survey showed on Wednesday. HSBC's India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), compiled by S&P Global, fell to 57.7 in September from August's more robust 59.3 and lower than a preliminary reading of 58.5, reflecting the slowest improvement in operating conditions since May. 4.The government on Wednesday announced a 6.59 per cent increase in the minimum support price (MSP) for wheat to ₹2,585 per quintal for 2026-27 marketing year. The decision was taken in the Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi here. Last year, wheat MSP was fixed at ₹2,425 per quintal for 2025-26 marketing year.

    1.The Reserve Bank of India’s interest rate decision, Today,(October 1) will likely be a close call, with policymakers facing multiple reasons to lower borrowing costs as inflation stays low and economic growth takes a knock from high US tariffs. While a majority of economists — 24 of 39 surveyed by Bloomberg — predict the repurchase rate will remain on hold at 5.5%, 15 expect a quarter-point reduction, citing India’s growth prospects. Even many of those forecasting a hold say there’s justification to ease. The six-member monetary policy committee, led by Governor Sanjay Malhotra, will need to juggle a number of competing objectives this week. Inflation, which is hovering near the lower end of the 2%–6% target band, is expected to ease further after recent tax cuts, while growth is likely to face a hit from US President Donald Trump’s 50% export tariffs.

According to data from the market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, shared with BusinessLine, Arattai’s downloads and daily active users in India have skyrocketed — increasing by 185 times and 40 times respectively, compared to the previous week. This massive jump happened between September 21st and 27th, right after the app came under the spotlight thanks to mentions by government officials. The instant messaging app from software firm Zoho, that is being touted as a WhatsApp rival, has seen an exponential growth across all parameters such as installs and usage, and app store rankings.

This will translate into a 15 per cent dilution of its stake in its Indian arm, LG Electronics India Ltd, in which it will hold 85 per cent stake post the IPO. Read more here 4.The government has placed e-commerce platforms under scrutiny as it monitors prices of daily use FMCG products ranging from shampoo to pulses to ensure that the benefits of Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate cuts are being appropriately passed on to consumers. Authorities are monitoring whether these platforms are complying with pricing norms and not withholding the intended consumer benefits from tax reductions. Sources said the e-commerce platforms cited ‘technical glitches’ when discrepancies in pricing pre- and post-GST reduction were pointed out. Read more here Donald Trump’s H-1B visa crackdown will hasten US firms’ shift of critical work to India, turbocharging the growth of global capability centres (GCCs) that handle operations from finance to research and development, economists and industry insiders say. The world’s fifth-largest economy is home to 1,700 GCCs, or more than half the global tally, having outgrown its tech support origins to become a hub of high-value innovation in areas from design of luxury car dashboards to drug discovery. Trends such as growing adoption of artificial intelligence and increasing curbs on visas are pushing U.S. firms to redraw labour strategies, with GCCs in India emerging as resilient hubs blending global skills with strong domestic leadership.
