Indian tea industry at crossroads as it battles multiple challenges: ITA

Business Standard

Indian Tea Association (ITA), a leading body of planters, on Wednesday said that the industry is grappling with multiple challenges and stands at a critical crossroad in 2025. ITA said in a statement that the industry is facing significant headwinds in production shortfall, decline in price realisation and influx of imports, which is having a bearing on the growth trajectory. Production of the crop witnessed a significant production shortfall in 2024, with country-wide levels dropping by 109 million kilogrammes from 2023. This shortfall in production was due to unfavourable weather conditions and pest attacks in the gardens, ITA said. According to the association, the poor production levels of 2025 is a big concern for the big growers in West Bengal and Assam. The Darjeeling tea industry also remains a major cause for concern, with production levels lagging 10.34 per cent behind 2024 levels. ITA said an average rise of daily temperature of two degrees centigrade and reduced rainfal

How NSE-BSE siblings dance to different beats

Business Line

NSE and BSE represent India's leading stock exchanges, each playing a pivotal role in transforming the nation's financial market landscape.

These procedural variations result in divergent performance trajectories, risk profiles, and index-tracking patterns that ultimately impact diversification strategies, return expectations, and benchmarking effectiveness. Here is a performance comparison of the well-known NSE and BSE index siblings
