Halal market expands rapidly, set to hit $12 trillion by 2030

By Syed Ali Mujtaba*  
The global halal economy is experiencing unprecedented growth, with projections estimating its worth at $12 trillion by 2030. Over the past nine years, the industry has expanded at a remarkable pace, says Mohamed Jinna, founder and director of Halal India, a private limited company.  
Jinna highlights the phenomenal growth of the halal sector, noting that it initially stood at $1 trillion. However, due to rigorous efforts in halal certification and accreditation, the market has surged to a valuation of $8 trillion. Looking ahead, it is expected to reach an astounding $12 trillion within the next five years.  
While halal products have traditionally catered to Muslim consumers, the industry has gained increasing traction among non-Muslims as well, drawn by its reputation for quality, safety, and reliability.  
Jinna’s vision for Halal India extends beyond food certification—it embodies a holistic approach to life. He firmly believes that halal is not merely about dietary practices but a comprehensive philosophy that promotes ethical consumerism and well-being.  
His commitment to the halal movement remains steadfast, driven by a passion to foster a world where access to safe, healthy, and nutritious food is universal. For Jinna, halal principles serve as a foundation for global unity and harmony.  
"Let’s unite in promoting the principles of halal, which not only enhance our quality of life but also bring us together as a global community," Jinna often emphasizes.  
As a visionary leader, he continues to inspire a new generation to join his noble mission of building an inclusive and peaceful world. His work at Halal India stands as a testament to his dedication and transformative vision.

​Ideological shifts and structural realities within India's left-wing insurgency

​By Harsh Thakor*  The Maoist insurgency in India is arguably at its weakest point since the formation of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) in 2004. Years of sustained counterinsurgency operations, leadership losses, shrinking territorial influence, declining recruitment, and growing technological advantages enjoyed by the state have significantly eroded the movement's operational capabilities.
