India's tech job openings fall 24% in January, hit six-year low: Xpheno

Business Standard | 03 January 2026

Active technology job openings in India remain weak, with just 103,000 roles available as of January 2026 – down 24% from a year earlier and nearly 60% below the January 2022 peak, according to Xpheno. While marginally higher than January 2024 levels, tech hiring is now the second lowest in six years, and the sector has also lost its dominance in overall job creation to non-tech roles. Analysts say the tech sector’s sharp rollback since late 2022 has led to a prolonged slowdown, with recovery prospects remaining subdued.

India may tweak e-car manufacturing SOP scheme to woo global firms

The Economic Times | 13 January 2026

India may revamp its electric passenger car incentive scheme, SPMEPCI, as the proposed India-EU FTA could lower EV import duties and dilute the scheme’s main incentive. Launched in March 2024, SPMEPCI has received no applications despite global outreach, as automakers cite FTA uncertainty, China’s rare earth curbs, high investment thresholds, and tight timelines. Companies prefer to wait for the FTA, which could offer tariff cuts without mandatory investments. With duty-based incentives proving insufficient, the government is considering more direct incentives to attract EV manufacturers.
