AN INDIAN court has remanded Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal to 14-day judicial custody in a money laundering case.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Goyal on September 1 under under money laundering laws following a long session of questioning.

The 74-year-old businessman was produced before a Mumbai court at the end of his ED remand on Thursday (14).

The money laundering case stems from a first information report (FIR) of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against Jet Airways, Goyal, his wife Anita and some former company executives of the now grounded private airline in connection with the fraud.

The FIR was registered on the state-owned Canara Bank's complaint which alleged that it sanctioned credit limits and loans to Jet Airways (India) Ltd to the tune of Rs 8.48 billion (£82m) of which Rs 5.38 bn (£52m) was outstanding.

UK retailers welcome customs duty on cheap imports but criticise 2029 timeline

Highlights

  • UK to charge customs duties on all parcels from March 2029, ending exemption on items under £135.
  • Retailers warn delay risks making Britain international outlier as US and EU act faster on cheap imports.
  • Currently 1.6 m parcels daily benefit from exemption, twice last year's figure, costing UK revenue.
British retailers have welcomed the government's decision to charge customs duties on low-value e-commerce parcels but criticised the March 2029 implementation date as too late, warning it risks making the country an international outlier.

UK retailers face growing competition from ultra-low-cost platforms including AliExpress, Shein, Temu and Amazon Haul, which send packages directly from Chinese factories to customers' doorsteps while benefiting from a customs waiver on parcels worth less than £135.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced the change would "stop overseas online firms from undercutting our high street" by applying customs duty on parcels of any value. However, the Treasury confirmed implementation would occur in March 2029 "at the latest", with consultation running until March next year.
