NewsX launches its biggest campaign to unearth non-performing assets
MUMBAI: NewsX has launched India’s biggest investigation into Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) by kicking off a 100-day campaign to help strengthen India’s financial backbone by weeding out non-performing assets that are weighing down on banks.
The channel is committed to dig out details of such assets every day for the next 100 days to enable the country to get a comprehensive picture on what is a pressing national issue involving crores of rupees. In fact, India’s total NPAs amount to over Rs 8 lakh crores, which roughly translates to INR 6,400 for every man, woman and child in the country.
NewsX has based its campaign on its access to an exhaustive list of Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) of 2016. The list is over 200 pages long and contains names, addresses and loan amounts of 1,406 companies involving thousands of crores of rupees, which were given by banks and never recovered.
Based on this list, NewsX has started a detailed investigation made possible by a special team. The team launched systematic checks on addresses corresponding to firms mentioned in the list and unearthed a web of fake addresses, empty buildings and closed shops with locals confirming they were not aware such companies even existed. NewsX also tried contacting banks that have been ‘duped’ by defaulters in the NPAs list; however, there has been no response on this from the banks.
The investigation so far has been as riveting as it is serious. Reiterating India’s commitment to clean up the system, NewsX seeks to turn this campaign into every Indian’s fight against corruption. The channel has appealed to all Indians to join its mission to purge the country’s economy by launching a collective effort to force banks to break their lethargy and make aggressive attempts to recover such dues.
NewsX hopes the campaign will be a reason for employees, bankers and chartered accountants to expose anomalies in systems, emphasising on the protection entitled to them under the Whistle Blowers Protection Act, 2011.
The campaign also seeks support from every Indian to contribute towards creating a system that will not allow defaulters to go unchallenged for long time lengths that allow them to maintain lavish lifestyles on money put into banks as savings and pensions.

WITT Summit 2026 concludes in New Delhi
Babar Azam’s comical diving attempt goes viral as league introduces anti-dew measures.
MUMBAI: The WITT Summit just wrapped up with enough big ideas to fill a policy playbook because when India’s leaders, thinkers and icons gather under one roof, even the conversations hit sixes. The eighth edition of TV9 Network’s flagship What India Thinks Today (WITT) Summit 2026 concluded on Saturday after two days of dynamic discussions at its New Delhi venue. India’s largest multi-domain public policy and culture summit brought together political leaders, policymakers, sports icons, artists and technology innovators to examine the forces shaping contemporary India and its global standing.
Prime minister Narendra Modi delivered the keynote address on the theme “India and the World” for the third consecutive year. In a wide-ranging speech, he addressed the ongoing conflict in West Asia, calling for restraint and compassion while highlighting India’s continued development trajectory despite global turmoil.
The summit featured candid conversations with state leaders. Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy articulated a people-first governance model and contrasted it with other development approaches. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav declared that Left-wing extremism had been effectively eliminated in his state and highlighted preparations for the upcoming Kumbh Mela. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann defended his government’s record, citing the closure of 19 toll plazas and creation of the Sadak Suraksha Force. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar expressed confidence in Congress prospects in Assam and addressed recent allegations against him.
On geopolitics and national security, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia outlined India’s ambition to become a builder of trusted digital infrastructure for the world, citing the rapid 5G rollout and village-level 4G connectivity.
Cricket received significant attention. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly praised player freedom and trust as hallmarks of great leadership and named MS Dhoni as the greatest captain due to his World Cup successes. India women’s team bowling coach Aavishkar Salvi credited the BCCI and Women’s Premier League for building a pipeline of world-class talent behind the team’s recent ODI World Cup triumph.
The summit also hosted the inaugural AI² Awards 2026, celebrating the convergence of human creativity and machine intelligence in storytelling and content creation. Poet and kathavachak Kumar Vishwas delivered a nuanced take on India’s concept of Dharma and criticised the recent arrest of an 80-year-old Shankaracharya. Veteran lyricist Sameer Anjaan and storyteller Neelesh Misra reflected on changing music trends and artistic responsibility in the wake of a recent controversy involving Nora Fatehi.
In a country where conversations often run as deep as the Ganges, the WITT Summit proved once again that when leaders, thinkers and storytellers come together, the real winner is public discourse lively, layered and refreshingly unafraid to tackle the big questions shaping India’s tomorrow.
