India's buying cheap Russian oil. Trump's not happy. And now he's slapped 50% tariffs on Indian goods. Officially, it's about funding Russia's war machine. Unofficially? It might be about one man's ego, a Nobel Peace Prize dream, and India refusing to play along. From the MEA's unusually sharp statement to the PM's vow to "pay any price to protect farmers," we unpack the real stakes amid the India-US showdown over tariffs. - Is India's "multi-alignment" foreign policy reaching breaking point? - Why agriculture is a red line in India-US trade talks. - How diplomats handle unpredictable leaders like Donald Trump. - The shift in India's diplomatic tone - and why a career diplomat as EAM matters. - Will India hit back with counter-tariffs or play the long game? Veteran national security journalist Sandeep Unnithan joins host Dev Goswami to decode this latest round of diplomatic warfare -- from South Block's air-conditioned strategy rooms to the high-stakes oil politics of Moscow and Washington. Produced by Garvit Srivastava Sound mixed by Rohan Bharti

Tune in for greater understanding of India - US tariff study and implications and way forward
On July 30, the India-US space collaboration crossed a historic milestone with the successful launch of NISAR, or the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite, a flagship earth observation mission jointly developed by the two nations' space programmes. It is the first satellite to use radars of two frequencies — the L-band radar by NASA and the S-band radar by ISRO — to continuously monitor the earth's surface. NISAR is expected to provide unprecedented data on land deformation, ice-sheet dynamics, forest biomass, and natural disasters like earthquakes and floods. With its high-resolution, all-weather, day-night imaging capabilities, NISAR aims to enhance climate resilience, agricultural monitoring, and disaster response. Beyond science, NISAR also holds commercial promise to enable new data services, geospatial analytics, and early-warning systems across sectors such as insurance, infrastructure, and agriculture.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. 1. Tata vs Tower: The Chip Fab Face-Off India's semiconductor revival just got serious. Tata Semiconductor and Israel's Tower Semiconductor have been shortlisted to modernize the government-run Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL) in Mohali, under a ₹4,000 crore project. While it won't chase bleeding-edge tech, the revamp will upgrade SCL's 180nm line—crucial for defence, space, and medical tech. Production is set to triple from 500 to 1,500 wafers per month, and this upgrade could lay the groundwork for more advanced nodes like 65nm and 28nm. Tower, notably, is already a tech partner at SCL, giving it an inside track. According to IESA President Ashok Chandak, this isn't just about chips—it's about strategic autonomy, deep-tech R&D, and skilling India's semiconductor workforce for the future. With India's chip demand projected to touch $103 billion by 2030, this throwback node may be the start of a futuristic leap. 2. Reliance Defence's Big MRO Bet Anil Ambani's Reliance Defence is gunning for India's ₹20,000 crore defence MRO (maintenance, repair, overhaul) market—and it's bringing in American reinforcements. In a joint venture with US-based Coastal Mechanics Inc., the company will set up a facility in Mihan, Maharashtra to upgrade over 200 military assets, including Jaguars, MiG-29s, Apaches, and L-70 guns. The plan is to shift from buying new to extending the lifecycle of existing gear—more efficient, more economical. Analysts say this tie-up opens doors to US defence contracts and puts Reliance on the path to becoming one of India's top three defence exporters. With exports already hitting ₹24,000 crore and the geopolitical heat rising post Operation Sindoor, MRO might just become India's next defence growth engine. 3. RBI Flags Debt Storm Ahead The Reserve Bank of India is waving a red flag. In its June Financial Stability Report, it warns of three key risks: soaring public debt, overvalued assets, and rising geopolitical tensions. India's public debt is set to exceed ₹196 lakh crore by March 2026. Meanwhile, NBFCs are being scrutinized for risky lending behavior. While India's economy remains resilient—with growth and cooling inflation offering a cushion—external shocks and diverging global monetary policies could spill into emerging markets. The RBI says it's stepping up reforms to tackle digital lending risks, curb fraud, and protect retail investors—aiming to future-proof the financial system before the next big tremor hits. 4. Trump-Modi Pact Nears the Finish Line India and the US are on the brink of sealing a major trade deal. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that final touches are underway, calling India a “strategic ally” and highlighting President Trump's “very good relationship” with Prime Minister Modi. The announcement comes as EAM Jaishankar visits Washington for the QUAD meet, and just weeks before the US enforces new tariffs on Indian goods. Negotiators are aiming for an “early harvest” pact to defuse tensions and pave the way for a full-scale Free Trade Agreement by year-end. With Trump accepting Modi's invite to the next QUAD Summit in Delhi, the Indo-US alliance may soon move from handshake to hard numbers—$500 billion in trade, to be exact. 5. Agni Goes Underground: India's Bunker Buster Era India's missile arsenal is getting a powerful upgrade—literally underground. DRDO is developing new Agni-5 variants designed to penetrate fortified bunkers, much like the US did in its June 22 strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Unlike the American model, which relies on massive bombers, India's missile-based approach offers flexibility and speed. Two versions are in development: an airburst warhead for surface targets and a bunker-buster variant with an 8-tonne payload capable of piercing up to 100 meters underground.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Gaganyatri Launch Delayed Again India's much-anticipated moment in space will take a bit longer. The Axiom-4 (Ax-4) mission—meant to carry the first Indian Gaganyatri to the ISS—has been postponed due to a liquid oxygen (LOx) leak found during Falcon 9's booster test. SpaceX confirmed the issue via X, while ISRO announced that the launch will only proceed after thorough repairs and validation tests. This is the second delay, following an earlier weather-related rescheduling. No new launch date has been set. India-US Trade Talks Hit a Roadblock Trade talks between India and the US are entering a tense final phase. The US is demanding greater access to Indian markets in dairy, agriculture, shrimp, and digital services. But India is pushing back, citing food security and rural livelihoods. With a July 8 deadline looming, paused tariffs could soon return. Dairy remains a key sticking point, with India insisting on vegetarian feed standards for US imports. Despite the friction, Indian officials say a balanced deal is still within reach. ₹5,400 Cr Boost for Battery Storage India is ramping up its clean energy game with a fresh ₹5,400 crore push for battery energy storage systems (BESS). Announced by Power Minister Manohar Lal, the scheme aims to build 30 GWh of capacity, attracting ₹33,000 crore in investments. It builds on an earlier ₹3,700 crore initiative supporting 13.2 GWh. With peak power demand expected to hit 270 GW this summer, BESS will help stabilize the grid and support the 2070 net zero target. Undersea transmission lines to the UAE and Saudi Arabia are also in the works, with ₹90,000 crore earmarked for the project. Your AC May Soon Stop at 20°C The government plans to cap air conditioner temperatures at a minimum of 20°C as part of a national energy-saving initiative. Power Minister Manohar Lal said the new rule would apply to homes, hotels, and even cars. Air conditioners account for about 20% of peak power load. Raising the minimum temperature could save up to 3 GW during peak hours. With 100 million AC units already in use and demand rising, the move could cut ₹7.5 trillion in energy costs by 2035. RCB Sale Rumors and Parade Tragedy Just after winning their first IPL title, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) found themselves in the spotlight again—this time over rumors of a $2 billion sale. Diageo, the team's owner, denied the speculation in a filing with the BSE. But a deeper crisis unfolded on June 4, when a stampede at RCB's victory parade in Bengaluru left 11 dead and 56 injured. The tragedy has sparked criticism of event planning and crowd control. Meanwhile, India's health ministry is pushing to curb alcohol advertising in sports, putting further pressure on Diageo's branding strategies. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Wednesday, India put on hold the Indus Waters Treaty, downgraded diplomatic relations with Pakistan, expelled diplomats and top defence officials from the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi, cancelled all visas granted to Pakistan nationals and directed them to leave the country in 48 hours, and shut the Attari-Wagah border after Resistance Front (TRF) is an offshoot of the Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).

Now, a district-wise list of “untainted” teachers of Classes IX-X and XI-XII has reached the offices of District Inspectors (DIs) of schools. A verification process has begun.

School headmasters have been asked to submit a list of their teachers' names, designations, subjects they teach, transfer histories, and confirmations that the names are in the “untainted” list.A wildfire in New Jersey has forced residents to evacuate the area and shut down a stretch of a major highway on Tuesday as the wildfire grew to more than 3,200 acres, officials said.

The surge of economic optimism that followed Trump's election in 2024 has all but disappeared, with more Americans now predicting that the economy will worsen, a stark shift from the hopeful outlook that marked earlier years. The survey revealed a sharp turn towards pessimism about the stock market as well, with many feeling uncertain about future economic prospects.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express

There are two narratives doing the rounds about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to Washington to break bread with U.S. President Donald Trump.The first narrative, touted by the government and its backers, is that Modi skillfully threaded the needle with Trump, standing up for Indian interests but also giving the president some important early wins that can position India well for the future. The second narrative suggests a more pessimistic vision: that U.S.-India relations are at a precarious juncture, where a volatile and transactional president just might upend bilateral ties at a time when India can scarcely afford it.To discuss where U.S.-India ties sit in the aftermath of the Modi visit, Milan is joined on the show today by Rajesh Rajagopalan.

This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Jayashree Arunachalam and Anand Vardhan are joined by author and political analyst Sanjaya Baru. The discussion begins with Donald Trump being sworn in as the 47th President of the United States of America. The panel analyses the fears of a second Trump presidency. “He will do a lot of damage, yes, but the fear of Trump is greatly exaggerated,” Sanjaya says, adding that India, and the world, historically, has shown the ability to withstand imperialist powers. Jayashree adds, “Trump comes off as unhinged, but he is the essence of what America is like.” The panel also addresses the Indian media's exaggeration of Foreign Minister S Jaishankar's presence in the ‘front row' at Trump's swearing-in ceremony. Commenting on India-US relations, Manisha says, “The Joe Biden administration was kind to Narendra Modi's administration…if Trump is not accommodative, it will affect BJP's ‘vishwaguru' politics domestically.”The panel also discusses how the CBI and TMC government are appealing for the death penalty in the RG Kar case, and catches up on all the subscriber letters we've received so far.
