#MintPlainFacts | India’s economy appears to have faced hiccups in its recovery trajectory in September as global supply constraints and an upbeat domestic mood resulted in divergent trends.

#MintPremium | The deterioration was driven by the consumption segment, even as the ease of living segment remained worrisome. In August, the tracker had reported its best performance in five months, with just seven indicators in red.

Data from the Federation of Automobile Dealers Association (#FADA) shows vehicle registrations fell 5.3% year-on-year but the decline was a much sharper 7% (annualized) compared to September 2019.

Domestic air travel continued its gradual uptick, rising 5.5% since August, but stayed significantly behind pre-pandemic levels. Revenge travel and increased public mobility could aid recovery in coming months.

#MintPlainFacts | Here’s a look at five factors that make #COP26 an event to keep an eye on, for both India and the world—and how to understand India’s attempt to chalk out fresh targets in its fight against climate change

#MintPlainFacts | Last week, the Congress pledged to field women in 40% of the seats in the upcoming Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. At the outset, it could be seen as a way to boost the dismal representation of women in Indian politics.

livemint.com/politics/news/… Image
In the 1980s and 1990s, the gap was still around 9-10%.

But in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, male voter turnout exceeded the female turnout only marginally. By 2019, the gap had almost closed.

livemint.com/politics/news/… Image
This was not simply a national-level trend: women outnumbered men in voter turnout across most states.

In 2014, this was true for 12 of 29 states, but the trend reversed in 2019, with women voter turnout exceeding men’s in 16 states.

#MintPlainFacts | The government presents a mixed card in the first quarter on the two cornerstones of its fiscal strategy. On revenue collection, it exceeded expectations. On capital expenditure, it’s below expectations

(By Rangoli Agrawal)

Read here: livemint.com/economy/centre…
The Union government is off to its best revenue collection drive in five years, with collections touching 28% of its budgeted revenues for fiscal year 2021-22 (FY22) in the first quarter (April-June) alone.

#MintPlainFacts by Rangoli Agrawal
