Indian decision comes amid pressure from the Trump administration, which had called on India and 7 other countries to stop the import of Iranian crude.
US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, on a visit to New Delhi, said trade between the two countries is affected by a plethora of tariff and non-tariff barriers.
The Trump administration had informed Congress that it wants to scrap trade concessions for India, the largest beneficiary of the generalized system of preferences.
Nobody is safe in a market where competition is stunted and choice limited. For the industry, meaningful reform will have to start with the government itself.
Data shows re-alignment in India’s exports, with Tamil Nadu & Telangana posting strong growth in 2024-25 as traditional heavyweights Gujarat & Maharashtra see declines. Gujarat still leads, though.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
There is no point in lecturing Trump about how he must be flexible, accomodative , logical etc. Trump will be Trump and there is an end to the matter. On India’s side we have very foolishly raised tariffs on a host of imports and gone against the expectations that we will run as a modern economy. Mr Modi and Jaitley take the principal blame for this.
While India must stand firm on strategic issues like the S 400 deals, the NDA Govt must quickly learn from the past UPA Govt about how to run a modern economy.

Is India risking key strategic ties with US by taxing few rich Harley Davidson buyers?
Is this the kind of question that ThePrint should ask? Does ThePrint thinks that strategic ties between India and USA can affect by tax issues on few motor bikes?
Surprisingly the message from Srijan Shukla, ThePrint reporter doesn’t match with the message from others in this article. What’s media’s responsibility in such matters of national importance? Work for American interest or India’s interest.
The value of these mobikes – or the import duty charged on them – is not even a rounding error. India’s list of issues with the United States is growing. Both trade related and to do with our relationships with other countries with whom America’s ties have deteriorated. It is good that a lifelong diplomat is now heading MEA. The talk of restricting H 1 B visas for India shows much needs to repaired. 2. If the US wishes to push expensive knee implants or heart stents and these are completely unaffordable for India’s health system, national interest requires that we resist. However, Shri Srijan Shukla’s basic point is valid. So many years after 1991, India’s economy should have been more open and integrated with the world, including its manufacturing supply chains. That is required to push up our sagging rate of growth. 3. On the diplomatic relationship with the US, some strains are attributable to President Trump’s style of functioning. There are indications that he might not get re-elected. However, there are other differences that are personality agnostic. India needs to prepare better to deal with a world where there are other centres of power, one next door, beyond the Himslayas.
Umm… how can you be so confident of this??
