A cancer patient’s husband, a medical distributor, told the Supreme Court that an injection available to him at a dealer price of ₹11,000 was allegedly priced at ₹1.30 lakh by a reputed hospital, which refused to administer the injection he offered.
“Why this difference? Where does the money go?” Justice Sandeep Mehta asks the Centre.

No intention to increase ethanol blending in fuel beyond 20%: Hardeep Puri
Misinformation about E20 (20 per cent ethanol-blended petrol) was a "contrived narrative," he said.
"In so far biofuels are concerned, yes, the 20 per cent (of ethanol blending) was the target, and there is no desire, just now, to increase by more than 20 per cent," he said to a question on discussions around E20 fuel, adding that misinformation was being spread about the issue.

Where will Young India live?
By 2035, India will need nearly 10 million new student beds, requiring over $150 billion in investment. Yet barely 1 in 10 students lives in organised hostels. This is a critical challenge that demands urgent attention.
This important and often overlooked issue was brought into sharp focus by the outstanding research of Atharv Gupta, a brilliant young student at American School Bombay and ex-NITI Aayog intern, whose research formed the foundation of our article.
We make the case for unlocking idle public land, crowding in private capital, enabling universities to anchor demand & creating safe, affordable student housing at scale. The state must move from builder to enabler.
Delighted to have co-authored this piece with Atharv Gupta(pictured below) in @FinancialXpress.
