The union cabinet meeting later on Thursday is expected to consider and approve the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17) that seeks an average annual economic growth of 8.2 percent and identifies infrastructure, health and education as thrust areas. The growth rate has been lowered to 8.2 percent from the 9.0 percent projected earlier in view of the current slowdown in the economy and adverse international situation. |

A government delegation will visit sanctions-hit Iran on October 6 to clinch a wheat export deal, a senior official said today. India lifted ban on wheat exports in September 2011 on account of record production in two consecutive years. Iran, on the other hand, has not been importing Indian wheat since 1996 due to quality issues.
"A 10-member team from India will visit Iran on October 6. The team will stay in Tehran for two days to negotiate wheat exports," the official told PTI. |
