UPS Provident economy Trade President country India to focus on trade deal, avoids retaliation on US tariffs

Donald Trump’s tariff imposition, and is focusing efforts on negotiating a bilateral trade deal with the US to bring down duties, according to a Indian government official. The South Asian country is seeking dialogue and not confrontation, the official said, adding that India has first mover advantage compared to rivals in the region. India plans to work toward a balanced and equitable trade deal with the US, the official said. All options are up for negotiation, and both goods and services will be discussed, according to the official. The government is also in touch with exporters on the expected impact and will help if they reach out. Trump last week announced a 26% tariff on US imports from India, dealing a blow to exporters and risking exacerbating a slowdown in an economy already suffering from weak consumer confidence. A lower negotiated rate could provide some relief, though escalating global trade tensions are still a threat. During his visit to Washington after Trump’s return to the Oval Office, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the US president agreed to negotiate a bilateral trade deal by the fall of this year.

Manufacturing economy Bill Trade President country Interviews Govt caught napping, seems under US pressure to sacrifice Indian interests: Sachin Pilot on tariffs

Congress general secretary Sachin Pilot on Sunday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should have worked out a constructive solution during his last America visit rather than just indulging in «photo ops» and exchanging gifts. He said that at a time the world is responding to the imposition of reciprocal tariffs by the US, the Indian government is merely buying time and leaving everything to fate. In an interview to PTI, the former minister for Corporate Affairs said the Indian government is accepting what has been given out and has not even offered a response. «I would imagine, when the PM was in Washington (in February) and met the president of the US, instead of just photo ops and exchanging gifts, something more constructive should have come out of it,» Pilot said. «If our relations are as strong as the two leaders claim, then we would not have been slapped with these steep tariffs. Clearly our exports will be severely hit, manufacturing was in any way on a downside, MSMEs are in for a shock...The economy will face severe stress due to resulting layoffs and job losses but unfortunately we have not had an adequate response or even an indication of how to navigate this situation.» he said. The government was caught napping and it seems under US pressure to sacrifice Indian interests, he alleged.

WhatsApp Trade President War Diversity country Trump's tariffs: US consumers to pay the price as recession risks rise, says Fitch Ratings

Fitch Ratings said in a note. Post the higher-than-anticipated tariffs imposed the US administration, the rating agency projected that US growth in 2025 is likely to be slower than the 1.7 per cent that it had projected in March. According to Fitch Ratings, tariff hikes will result in higher consumer prices and lower corporate profits in the US. «Higher prices will squeeze real wages, weighing on consumer spending, while lower profits and policy uncertainty will act as a drag on business investment,» Fitch said. «Upward pressure on goods prices from tariffs — in the context of a recent large jump in US households' medium-term inflation expectations — means the Fed is likely to become more cautious about further rate cuts in the near term.»

wellness Trade President country electronic reports Pharmaceuticals US tariffs may lead to dumping by competing countries in India: CareEdge

reciprocal tariffs by the US on other competing nations raises the possibility of increased dumping by those nations in India, as well as in other export markets, which could negatively impact certain sectors, CareEdge Ratings said in a report. According to the report ' Sectoral Impact of US Reciprocal Tariff: Neutral to Negative, ' the expected direct impact of US reciprocal tariffs would vary, with no impact expected on pharmaceuticals since they are exempt from reciprocal tariffs for now. According to the rating agency, the impact is expected to be largely neutral for electronics, textiles, agricultural products, chemicals, and automobiles and parts. At the same time, it would be negative for gems and jewellery. During 2023-24, India's aggregate merchandise exports to the US stood at USD 77.5 billion compared to its imports from the US at USD 42.2 billion. Out of India's total exports to the US, the sectors in descending order of value are electronics, textiles, pharmaceuticals, gems and jewellery, agricultural products, chemicals and automobiles and parts.

FIVE Reuters economy Opinion Department Headlines International RBI to cut rates again? All eyes on central bank as it will hold its first monetary policy review of 2025-26

Reserve Bank of India's rate-setting panel is set to take its first monetary policy decision of the financial year in a review meetings starting Monday, amid a significant moderation in headline inflation over recent months.

COST Action Deloitte Doge reports Department Why Deloitte is losing sleep over Elon Musk’s shadowy DOGE cost cutting mission

Deloitte, one of the world’s largest professional services firms, has emerged as the primary casualty of Elon Musk’s campaign to slash federal government spending. Since January, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Musk under Donald Trump’s second-term administration, has cut or modified 124 of Deloitte’s contracts, more than double the number axed from any other consultancy. The total value of these terminated contracts exceeds $1.16 billion, with DOGE claiming a $371.8 million saving for taxpayers. The largest of these was a $51 million IT services contract with the Department of Health and Human Services. Other impacted agencies include the CDC, NIH, and EPA. According to Fortune, the effects are already trickling down. Deloitte’s Government and Public Services division, which employs over 15,000 people, has started pulling staff off projects. Layoffs are expected.

“We have to be patient. Trade pacts do not happen overnight. It is a careful and steady process. Things are analysed carefully,” an official said on the condition of anonymity, adding that a slight impact on demand in the US could be a little challenging. India has “emerged a winner” following the reciprocal tariffs imposed by the United States, officials said, pointing out that the country has a first mover advantage compared to its competitors owing to of the Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) that the two are negotiating and because Indian exporters are better positioned to deal with the additional US tariffs. They said the country will take all measures within the World Trade Organization (WTO) framework to check dumping of goods from countries such as China which have been slapped with steeper tariffs. “The government is there to protect domestic industry from any possibility of dumping of goods in such a situation,” the official added. While the US has imposed 26% reciprocal tariffs on India, it has levied 34% additional import duties on China. India is also likely to gain from the US-China trade war, according to officials.

FIVE Election WhatsApp President BJP looking to elect chiefs in big states before picking national president

BJP is looking to elect its heads in a number of key states in the coming days to pave the way for the election of its new national president, a process which has stretched longer than expected. Official sources said the party leadership is keen on a quick election of its presidents in big states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka, among others, to finish the organisational exercise that began with the launch of a nationwide membership drive in September last year. The BJP's constitution requires the party to complete its organisational election in at least half of its state units, meaning that new presidents should be in place in at least 19 states, including union territories, before the exercise to choose the new national president begins. The BJP has 37 organisational states in total. When the party's membership drive began in September last year, it was largely believed that the election of the new president in place of incumbent J P Nadda would be over by January-February this year. However, a delay in electing its presidents in several big states as the party looks to build a consensus and take its ideological allies like the RSS into confidence has set back the process by several weeks.
