The changes include extending tax holidays for companies supplying machinery to Indian factories, offering certainty to foreign fund managers relocating to India, and easing the setting up of foreign company data centres. Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge sought a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on police action against student protesters on July 20. The Rajya Sabha Chairman asked Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju to convey the Opposition’s demand. The Hindu BusinessLine reported that both Houses were scheduled to consider other Bills on Friday, including legislation concerning births, deaths and micro, small and medium enterprises.
