A can of Fanta sold in London has 63 calories. Buy the same brand in India, and it contains three times as much sugar. It also includes artificial dye, whose presence in food products in Europe requires a prominent health warning.

In India, the colorant’s presence is noted merely in small print on the back of the can. That suits some of the world’s biggest companies, which have long resisted Indian efforts to mandate nutritional warnings on the front of packaged products https://t.co/skAERVVhl9

At last week’s 8th India Clean Air Summit in Bengaluru, one message came through clearly: India cannot fight air pollution city by city.

Bihar and Kerala officials called for coordinated, airshed-based action.

@punekarnews How does it help economy/country’s image/unity if cities, regions, states start cracking down on sections of other Indians on any pretext? 🤷🏽‍♂️

India has just become Asia’s least-preferred stock market in BofA’s latest fund manager survey, overtaking Indonesia.

32% of fund managers are net underweight India.

The concerns: lack of clear AI exposure, weak growth, high valuations and limited reform momentum.

Yet the irony is striking: earnings are improving, global funds have bought $4bn+ of Indian equities this quarter, and Nifty 50 earnings grew 18% YoY in the latest quarter.

Sometimes fundamentals improve while sentiment deteriorates. Perhaps India’s next leg higher needs more than earnings growth, it needs a compelling growth narrative that investors can believe in.

@brotherindia Nobody has go in touch. Is there anybody following up on complaints?

[Chetan Bhattacharji @CBhattacharji]

#नाशिक | त्र्यंबकेश्वर पेगलवाडी, गोहिरेवाडी येथील विद्यार्थ्यांनी पाण्याच्या बाटलीचा माईक करून रस्त्याच्या दुरावस्थेचे रिपोर्टिंग केले आहे, कालच रायगड मधील कोंडिवडे गावात दोन विद्यार्थिनींनी हा यशस्वी प्रयोग केला जो आता Gen Alpha मध्ये वेगाने जनजागृती करतोय.

DJB & MCD: URGENT: The pictures below are of stinking sewage from other apartments' toilets filling the shower area in my 85-yr-old mother in law's DDA flats in Gangotri Enclave, Alaknanda, South Delhi.

This "backflow from the main sewer lines" affects the ground floor flats, esp C55A and C54A, every 2-3 days now. The sewer pipes are broken or damaged.

My mother-in-law is unwell and on oxygen, and she has to deal with this too. Complaints and representations have been made to MCD too over the years. @DelhiJalBoard please resolve this asap.

Delhi's smog grabs headlines, but as Dr Kalpana Balakrishnan reveals, rural indoor toxicity is 10 times worse. However, there's a solution at hand, with a massive return for every rupee invested.

“Be prepared” is the Met’s advice for the next couple of hours.

Earlier, was in an @airindia flight which aborted landing cos of “heavy rain” at ~12.

Pumps on several roads. But where are they pumping the water to?
