Key gauges continue to trade in green in morning deals
Sep-04-2025

Indian equity benchmarks continued to trade in green in morning deals, as investors cheered the GST Council’s complete overhaul of the tangled Goods and Services Tax regime. Traders took support as Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has assured exporters to support them in dealing with steep tariffs imposed by the US. He also reaffirmed the government's commitment to safeguarding the interests of Indian exporters amid the evolving global trade scenario. Some support also came as External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar stated that India would like to see its negotiations with the European Union for a free trade agreement move to a decisive conclusion soon. On the global front, Asian markets are trading mostly in green as dovish signals from US Federal Reserve officials and weak labour market data reinforced bets on interest rate cuts, even as oil prices extended losses ahead of a key Opec+ meeting.

Meanwhile, in order to promote recycling of critical minerals in the country, the mines ministry has said the Union Cabinet has approved a Rs 1,500 crore incentive scheme. The scheme aims at developing recycling capacity in the country for the separation and production of critical minerals from secondary sources. 

These include e-waste, Lithium Ion Battery (LIB) scrap, and scrap other than e-waste & LIB scrap, such as catalytic converters in end-of-life vehicles. This scheme is part of the National Critical Mineral Mission (NCMM), which is aimed at building the domestic capacity and supply chain resilience in critical minerals.

Earlier, the government approved a Rs 16,300-crore National Critical Mineral Mission, with a total outlay of Rs 34,300 crore spread over seven years, aiming to achieve self-reliance and accelerate India's journey towards green energy transition. Public sector enterprises are expected to contribute Rs 18,000 crore to the mission.

Critical minerals such as copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt and rare earth elements are essential raw materials required to fuel the growth of rapidly growing clean energy technologies.
