MUMBAI, June 29 (Reuters) – Indian farmers have fallen behind in planting summer crops, including rice, cotton, corn and soybeans, as a slow start to the monsoon has meant below average rainfall so far. India is the world’s largest rice exporter, accounting for about 40% of global shipments. Its farmers begin sowing summer crops in June and July with the arrival of the annual monsoon, but this year it reached the southern state of Kerala three days late and its advance across western farming regions stalled for about two weeks. There is still time for the monsoon to gather momentum
NEW DELHI, June 29 (Reuters) – India’s industrial output rose 5.1% in May, led by a pickup in electricity growth, government data showed on Monday, while growth in manufacturing moderated due to supply disruptions linked to the Middle East conflict.

The May reading is the second under the revised 2022-23 base year series, reflecting the government’s shift to producer prices from wholesale prices for calculating factory output.

June 29, 2026 (Conversation) Migration debates often begin in the wrong place. They ask how many migrants a country should accept, which migrants should be prioritised and how quickly they should arrive. These are important questions, but they are not the first question. The first question is more basic: what is migration for? The answer is not simple, because migration serves more than one purpose. It’s a tool of economic management. It’s a response to demographic change. It’s part of how countries remain connected to the world. But it is also something deeper: an expression of the human condition itself.
MANCHESTER, England, June 29, 2026 (AP) — Andy Burnham, likely the next U.K. prime minister, pledged Monday to give away a chunk of his power by handing greater autonomy to local leaders in a “circuit-breaker” for the sclerotic British state. The former mayor of Greater Manchester also said he would move part of the prime minister’s office from London’s 10 Downing St. to northwest England as part of “the biggest rebalancing of power our country has seen.” “Growth cannot be ordered from the top down. Indeed, it can only be nurtured from the bottom up,” Burnham said in a speech
