India Says It Is Ready to Extend Help to End Russia-Ukraine War

India has reiterated its willingness to provide assistance toward efforts aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has been involved in discussions with Ukrainian officials, with India continuing to emphasise dialogue, diplomacy and cooperation as possible pathways toward resolving the conflict. The latest development comes amid continuing international efforts to reduce tensions.

India's position is being closely watched because New Delhi maintains relationships with both Russia and Ukraine while also engaging with Western countries. Any diplomatic initiative involving India could therefore have wider international significance, particularly as countries continue searching for avenues toward a sustainable resolution.

Tamil Nadu to Sell Onions at ₹35 per Kg Through Urban Ration Shops

Tamil Nadu has announced that onions will be sold at a subsidised price of ₹35 per kilogram through 8,739 urban ration shops from September 3. The move comes as the government attempts to provide relief to consumers from fluctuations in onion prices. Food Minister Venkataramanan announced the measure in the state Assembly.

By making onions available through the public distribution network at a controlled price, the government hopes to improve affordability and reduce the impact of market price fluctuations on consumers.

Bengaluru Airport Passenger Fee Cut by 45%

Bengaluru Airport Cuts Domestic Passenger Fee to ₹300 From September 1

Travellers flying out of Bengaluru on domestic routes will see a reduction in the airport's passenger fee from September 1. The charge has been cut by around 45% to ₹300, following a new tariff order issued by the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority.

The reduction could provide some relief to frequent flyers and passengers travelling from Bengaluru. Airport charges form part of the overall cost of air travel, so even relatively small reductions can benefit high-frequency travellers.

The revised tariff comes as India's aviation sector continues to expand, with airports facing increasing passenger volumes and pressure to maintain competitive operating costs.

FSSAI Moves Toward Stronger Warning Labels on Packaged Foods

India's food regulator has proposed a stronger front-of-pack warning system for packaged foods and beverages containing high levels of sugar, salt or fat. The proposal includes prominent warnings designed to help consumers identify products with potentially unhealthy nutritional profiles more quickly.

The move could significantly change how packaged food products are presented to Indian consumers. Instead of requiring shoppers to study detailed nutrition tables on the back of a packet, the proposed system would make key nutritional concerns immediately visible. The proposal is also expected to intensify the discussion between regulators, consumers and the food industry over healthier food choices.
