SUGAR Turned Astringent!
The first day of Parliament's winter session on Thursday was rocked by protests from Opposition parties against Centre's sugarcane price move that discourages states from fixing higher prices. The entire Opposition raised the sugarcane price issue. Lok Sabha was first adjourned till 1200 hrs IST after Opposition parties and even some United Progressive Alliance (UPA) constituents came out against the Union Government's new ordinance to replace statutory minimum price for sugarcane.
The ordinance fixes the fair remunerative price for sugarcane at Rs 130 per quintal, much below the Rs 280 per quintal that farmers have been demanding. Earlier, thousands of sugarcane farmers launched massive protests in Delhi to coincide with the opening day of the Winter Session of Parliament.

India may take steps to slow capital inflows if foreign investments surge, Finance Secretary Ashok Chawla said amid exporter concerns of a stronger currency reducing their competitiveness abroad. “As the situation evolves we’ll see what needs to be done,” Chawla told reporters in New Delhi today. “As of now, inflows are not a cause for serious concern.” Foreign funds purchased a net 732.5 billion rupees ($15.77 billion) of Indian stocks this year, after being net sellers in 2008, sending the rupee higher by 4.8 percent and hurting sales at exporters including Gokaldas Exports Ltd. Over the past month, Brazil and Taiwan imposed capital controls to check appreciation in their currencies. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601091&sid=aa7xKpqe_PA4
