India and the United States appear to be racing toward a mid-July deadline to conclude the first tranche of a bilateral trade agreement. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has projected confidence, describing negotiations as constructive and suggesting that the proposed arrangement would provide Indian exporters with preferential access to the American market. Washington, too, has struck an optimistic tone. President Donald Trump says a deal will happen. US trade officials describe progress as encouraging. Diplomats speak of a framework that is nearly complete.

For years, Rajesh Exports looked like one of India's great corporate success stories. Founded by Bengaluru businessman Rajesh J. Mehta, the company rose from a jewellery exporter into a global gold-processing giant. It acquired Valcambi SA, one of the world's largest gold refineries, reported annual revenues running into lakhs of crores, and earned a place in institutional portfolios across India.

India's 7.7 percent GDP growth in FY2025-26 will inevitably dominate headlines, reinforce the government's economic narrative and strengthen the country's claim to being the world's fastest-growing major economy.

Venezuela’s acting President, Delcy Rodríguez, was in India recently. This was known in advance because, even before the Government of India made any statement on the matter, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio had already announced it during his visit to India.

LONDON: In 1895, Theodor Herzl wrote in his diary that the penniless population of Palestine must be “spirited across the border,” discreetly and circumspectly. In 1948, that vision became policy. With the Nakba, approximately 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced, their land absorbed by the newly declared state of Israel. In 1967 came the Naksa. In 1978, 1982, 1993, 1996, 2006, it happened to southern Lebanon. Each time the world called it a “crisis”; each time it was Israeli strategy.

After a series of political setbacks since Lok Sabha Election 2024, the meet of the INDIA bloc scheduled to be held at the Constitution Club in New Delhi on June 8 is a significant development, especially when one of its allies DMK has announced to skip the meet, and the BJP has claimed that INDIA bloc is dead and buried, and exists only on paper.

In India's high-stakes corporate world, timing is everything. Sometimes it creates billionaires. Sometimes it destroys them. And occasionally, it raises questions that refuse to go away. The latest controversy involving mining billionaire Anil Agarwal's Vedanta Group, the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) searches under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), and Vedanta's bitter challenge to Gautam Adani's acquisition of Jaiprakash Associates Ltd (JAL) has become one such episode.
