India has witnessed a phenomenal surge in mobile phone exports, which have risen 127 times in the last decade from just Rs 0.01 lakh crore in 2014-15 to Rs 2 lakh crore in 2024-25, the Parliament was informed on Wednesday.

Officials credited this remarkable growth to the reforms and policy measures introduced under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ vision, which transformed India into a global hub for electronics manufacturing.

The production of mobile phones has jumped from Rs 0.18 lakh crore in 2014-15 to Rs 5.5 lakh crore in 2024-25 -- marking a 28-fold increase, Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Jitin Prasada said in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha.

During the same period, the number of mobile manufacturing units expanded from just two in 2014 to over 300 in 2025, a rise of 150 times.

New Zealand's central bank on Wednesday lowered the Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 25 basis points to 3 per cent.

Annual consumer price inflation currently sits near the top of the 1-to-3 per cent target band but is expected to return to the 2 per cent midpoint by mid-2026 due to easing domestic inflation pressures and spare economic capacity, according to a statement by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's Monetary Policy Committee.

The country's economic recovery stalled in the second quarter amid global economic policy uncertainty, falling employment, higher essential costs, and declining house prices, it said.

Looking ahead, cautious household and business behaviour could slow growth further, though the economic recovery might accelerate as recent interest rate cuts take effect, News Agency reported, quoting the committee.

A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids is not only good for adults, but also crucial to ward off the development of shortsightedness (myopia) in children, according to a global study.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs), which can only be obtained from the diet -- found predominantly in fish oils -- are thought to improve or prevent several chronic eye conditions, including dry eye disease and age-related macular degeneration.

But whether they can help ward off myopia wasn't clear, as studies to date have been experimental and haven't included people.

"This study provides the human evidence that higher dietary ω-3 PUFA intake is associated with shorter axial length and less myopic refraction, highlighting ω-3 PUFAs as a potential protective dietary factor against myopia development," said corresponding author Prof Jason C Yam, from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Authorities issued first flood warning at Bhadrachalam on Wednesday as the water level continues to rise in Godavari River due to heavy inflows.

The Japanese financial services major's outlook comes as the government prepares for a major restructuring of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system -- a reform that has been pending for years.

Currently, GST is levied under four slabs -- 5 per cent, 12 per cent, 18 per cent, and 28 per cent. The Centre has proposed a rationalisation, cutting the structure down to two core slabs of 5 per cent and 28 per cent, while also introducing a new 40 per cent rate for sin and luxury goods.

While eliminating the 12 per cent and 18 per cent brackets could theoretically shave 0.19 per cent off GDP growth, states are expected to push back, as the rejig could mean revenue losses without adequate compensation.
