41% भारतीयों के मानसिक तनाव की बड़ी वजह है ‘फाइनेंशियल गोल्स’, युवाओं पर सबसे ज्यादा दबाव

by Hansraj Agrawal | Jun 3, 2026 | Business

Financial Goal: शहरों में रहने वाले कई भारतीयों के लिए पैसे से जुड़े लक्ष्य पूरे करना तनाव की बड़ी वजह बन गया है. लोग अच्छी बचत और आर्थिक सुरक्षा चाहते हैं, लेकिन इसके साथ अपनी सेहत और जीवन का संतुलन बनाए रखना भी उनके लिए चुनौती बन रहा है.

मणिपालसिग्ना हेल्थ इंश्योरेंस और YouGov India की इंडिया हेल्थ कोटिएंट 2026 रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक, 41 फीसदी शहरी भारतीयों का मानना है कि पैसों से जुड़े लक्ष्य पूरे करने की कोशिश उन्हें तनाव और चिंता देती है. यही वजह है कि आर्थिक चिंताएं लोगों की सेहत पर असर डालने वाले प्रमुख कारणों में शामिल हो गई हैं. स्टडी में आर्थिक स्थिति को सबसे कम अंक मिले, जहां शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य को 68 और सामाजिक स्वास्थ्य को 66 अंक मिले, वहीं आर्थिक स्थिति को 100 में से सिर्फ 62 अंक प्राप्त हुए.

16 शहरों के 2600 लोगों से की गई बातचीत

इंडिया हेल्थ कोटिएंट 2026 के लिए 16 शहरों के 2,600 लोगों से बातचीत की गई. इसमें लोगों की शारीरिक, मानसिक, आर्थिक और सामाजिक स्थिति से जुड़े पहलुओं को समझने की कोशिश की गई. रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, आर्थिक दबाव सिर्फ बचत या निवेश तक सीमित नहीं है. करीब 36 फीसदी लोगों ने कहा कि हेल्दी खाना, पोषण संबंधी उत्पाद और नियमित हेल्थ चेकअप पर होने वाला खर्च उनके बजट पर अतिरिक्त बोझ डालता है.

वहीं 40 फीसदी लोगों का कहना है कि तनाव और चिंता का असर उनकी शारीरिक सेहत पर पड़ रहा है. इतने ही लोगों ने यह भी माना कि परिवार और दोस्तों के साथ कम समय बिताने से उनके काम या पढ़ाई पर नकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ा है.

युवाओं पर सबसे ज्यादा आर्थिक दबाव

स्टडी में यह बात सामने आई कि कई लोग अपनी कमाई, बचत और भविष्य के खर्चों को लेकर लगातार चिंता में रहते हैं. इसका असर उनके मानसिक और शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य पर भी पड़ता है. जब सेहत से जुड़ी जरूरतें बढ़ती हैं, तो लोगों को उस पर अतिरिक्त पैसा खर्च करना पड़ता है, जिससे आर्थिक दबाव और बढ़ जाता है.

रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, युवा वर्ग इस समस्या से सबसे ज्यादा प्रभावित है. खासकर 25 से 34 साल की उम्र के लोग अपने भविष्य को सुरक्षित बनाने, घर-परिवार की जिम्मेदारियों और बढ़ते खर्चों के कारण अधिक दबाव महसूस कर रहे हैं. अध्ययन में महिलाओं ने भी आर्थिक मामलों को लेकर ज्यादा चिंता जताई. कई महिलाओं का मानना है कि भविष्य के खर्चों, बचत और वित्तीय सुरक्षा को लेकर उन्हें अधिक सतर्क रहना पड़ता है.

आर्थिक रूप से मजबूत बनना बड़ी प्राथमिकता

रिपोर्ट बताती है कि आज लोगों के लिए आर्थिक रूप से मजबूत बनना सबसे बड़ी प्राथमिकताओं में शामिल हो गया है. कई लोग अपनी शारीरिक या मानसिक सेहत से पहले अपनी आर्थिक स्थिति सुधारने पर ध्यान देना चाहते हैं, क्योंकि उनका मानना है कि आर्थिक सुरक्षा बेहतर जीवन की नींव है.

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) rejected all bids for 182-day and 364-day treasury bills at ‌an auction on Wednesday, while selling only 91-day notes, which ⁠traders interpreted as a rate signal just ahead of Friday’s central bank monetary policy decision. Here ‌are some details:

* RBI sold 91-day notes at a yield ‌of 5.56 per cent, while a ‌Reuters poll ⁠had forecast cutoff yield for ⁠the other two papers at a more than one-year high of 5.76 per cent and 6.06 per cent respectively

* This is the ‌second time in less than three months that the central bank has cancelled a treasury bill sale

* ‌Last week, RBI had sold 182-day and 364-day notes at 5.73 per cent and 6.03 per cent, which marked ⁠the fifth straight weekly rise for rates on these ultra-short end notes

* Over ‌the last five weeks, yields jumped by 34 bps, 26 bps and 43 bps respectively for the 91-day, 182-day and 364-day papers

* “This is definitely a rate signal as markets ‌may have started pricing in aggressive rate hikes in a short span of time, which may not be ⁠the actual case,” a primary dealership trader ⁠says

* Spread between the 364-day notes and RBI policy rate ‌had jumped to 78 bps last week, levels last seen four years ago

by Hansraj Agrawal | Jun 3, 2026 | Business

he fund is open to resident Indians, NRIs, HNIs, corporates, and institutional investors with a minimum commitment of ₹1 crore

Right Horizons Portfolio Management Pvt Ltd, a Bengaluru-based investment manager, has launched the RH Rising India Opportunities AIF, a closed-ended Category III Alternative Investment Fund targeting ₹100 crore. The AIF also has green-shoe option aiming for another ₹100 crore.

The fund is open to resident Indians, NRIs, HNIs, corporates and institutional investors with a minimum commitment of ₹1 crore.

The AIF will focus on small- and mid-cap (SMID) initially through a multi-cap strategy while large-cap allocations will also be part of the portfolio, giving the fund the flexibility to de-risk during volatile periods.

“India is at an inflection point. SMID caps are the direct beneficiaries of the country’s manufacturing push, financial formalisation, and rising consumption. After a 26 per cent correction, valuations have reset to historically attractive levels while earnings growth remains strong. This is precisely the kind of entry window a closed-ended structure is built for the ability to invest with conviction, hold through noise, and let the compounding work,” said Anil Rego, Founder and CIO, Right Horizons Group.

Right Horizons Portfolio Management Pvt Ltd currently manages over ₹3,000 crore in group assets under management,

Centre approves Rs 9,500 cr vehicle replacement scheme for Delhi-NCR

by Hansraj Agrawal | Jun 3, 2026 | Business

The scheme will cover approximately 1.91 lakh trucks and 16,329 buses currently operating under BS-IV or earlier emission standards.

To reduce air pollution as well as accelerate the adoption of cleaner transport technologies in the Delhi-NCR region, the Centre has approved a ₹9,585-crore vehicle replacement scheme.

The Union Cabinet cleared the two-year programme aimed at incentivising owners of older trucks and buses to replace them with Bharat Stage-VI (BS-VI) compliant vehicles or electric vehicles (EVs).

The scheme, said an official communique, has a total financial outlay of ₹9,585 crore, including ₹5,041 crore from the central government and an estimated ₹1,601 crore in tax concessions from participating states.

As per the communique, the programme is expected to benefit around 2.07 lakh vehicle owners across the Delhi-NCR region.

The scheme will cover approximately 1.91 lakh trucks and 16,329 buses currently operating under BS-IV or earlier emission standards.

Pollution concerns

The approval comes amid continuing concerns over air quality in the Delhi-NCR region, particularly during winter months.

Notably, according to a study conducted by the Automotive Research Association of India and The Energy and Resources Institute, the transport sector contributes 14 per cent of PM2.5 emissions, 40 per cent of carbon monoxide emissions and 63 per cent of nitrogen oxide emissions in the region.

Of which, trucks and buses account for 36 per cent of PM2.5 emissions despite representing only 3 per cent of the total vehicle fleet.

According to the communique, a single pre-BS heavy-duty vehicle emits pollution equivalent to 14 BS-VI-compliant vehicles, while a BS-IV vehicle emits 2.7 times more emissions than a BS-VI counterpart.

Consequently, the replacement of older vehicles is expected to substantially reduce vehicular pollution across the region.

Scheme benefits

Under the programme, owners of BS-III and older vehicles will be required to scrap their vehicles at registered vehicle scrapping facilities, while BS-IV vehicles may either be scrapped or sold outside NCR in non-national clean air programme cities and towns.

After which vehicle owners will then be required to purchase and register BS-VI-compliant or electric vehicles within the NCR region.

In Delhi, light goods vehicles purchased under the scheme must be electric, while buses will be permitted only under BS-VI compressed natural gas (CNG) or electric vehicle categories.

The Centre will provide a 5 per cent interest subvention on vehicle loans for five years, monthly fuel vouchers of up to ₹4,800 depending on vehicle category and lump-sum incentives for electric vehicle purchases or certificate of deposit trading.

Besides, participating states will waive registration fees and provide motor vehicle tax concessions of up to 100 per cent for new vehicles and 50 per cent for used vehicles for a period of 10 years.

Furthermore, state governments will waive pending liabilities on old vehicles participating in the scheme.

Additionally, participating automobile manufacturers will offer discounts of 8 per cent on ex-showroom vehicle prices.

The central government benefits will continue for five years from the registration date of the replacement vehicle, extending support beyond the scheme’s two-year enrolment period.

Implementation

The communique said implementation will be carried out through an integrated digital platform that will facilitate eligibility verification, interest subvention claims, fuel voucher credits and monitoring of pollution reduction outcomes.

In addition, benefits provided by the Centre will continue for five years from the registration date of the replacement vehicle.

The scheme will be monitored by an empowered committee chaired by the Cabinet Secretary, while District Collectors and District Magistrates will oversee implementation at the local level.

Scale of financing required by India over the coming decades is unprecedented: SBI chief

by Hansraj Agrawal | Jun 3, 2026 | Business

The scale of financing required by India over the coming decades is unprecedented, with internal assessments pegging incremental investment requirement of nearly Rs 200 lakh crore by 2030 and another Rs 450 lakh crore by 2047, according to SBI Chairman Challu Sreenivasulu Setty.

These investments will be required across infrastructure, manufacturing, energy transition, urban development, MSMEs and innovation, Setty said at the Citi Investor Conference.

“For banks to support India’s aspirations, they themselves must evolve. The future banking model must be built on some key pillars, ensuring access to banking services across every segment of society and economy….integrating environmental, social and governance considerations into financing decisions and operations, maintaining the highest standards of governance, consumer protection and risk management,” he said.

Setty said the global economic order is being redesigned in real time, with supply chains shifting and manufacturing being reconfigured.

“Technology is redefining productivity. New growth centres are emerging. India enters this scenario from a position of strength,” he said. Green finance will become another defining opportunity.

While the journey to “Viksit Bharat (Developed India) will undoubtedly be challenging, the SBI chief emphasised that “it is also one of the most compelling growth stories of our time. India has already demonstrated how (financial) inclusion can be achieved at scale.”

He observed that the next chapter is to demonstrate how inclusion can be transformed into prosperity at scale.

“The banking sector will be at the heart of the transformation not merely as providers of credit but as mobilisers of savings, enablers of entrepreneurship, allocators of capital and partners in national development.,” Setty said.

To a specific question on the impact of West Asia war on the banking system and demand, the SBI chief said: “We have not seen any major impact of the West Asia conflict on asset quality so far. But we have to be watchful. Credit demand seems to be robust. Growth seems to be robust across sectors. We have not seen any demand constraints at this juncture.”
