Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Indian Tech in Russian Drones? Ukraine has formally raised concerns with India and the EU after finding Indian-assembled components inside Shahed-136 drones—Iranian UCAVs now used extensively by Russian forces. Investigations revealed a bridge rectifier by Vishay and a signal chip by Aura Semiconductor, both allegedly made or assembled in India. Ukraine flagged the issue in diplomatic cables and even during EU sanctions envoy David O'Sullivan's visit to New Delhi. India's foreign ministry insists all dual-use exports comply with global norms, and no domestic laws were broken. Aura said it was “deeply disturbed” and suspects unauthorised third-party diversion via West Asia. The challenge? These are plug-and-play parts—nearly impossible to trace once exported. With drones reshaping warfare, India's electronics exports face new global scrutiny—raising a key question: how do you ensure compliance without stifling trade? Visa to America? Now Comes with a Price Tag In a move that's sparked global concern, the U.S. State Department will soon demand up to $15,000 as a refundable bond from business and tourist visa applicants from countries with high overstay rates or weak documentation systems. A leaked cable suggests most adults will be charged $10,000, while children may need to pay $5,000. The Treasury will hold the funds and refund them if travelers exit on time and via specified ports. The policy is part of the Trump administration's tougher immigration strategy, alongside new in-person interviews and tighter Diversity Visa Lottery norms. While Visa Waiver countries are exempt, millions elsewhere may now find U.S. travel financially out of reach. Trump Targets India Again—This Time Over Oil In a fiery Truth Social post, Donald Trump accused India of profiting from discounted Russian oil while ignoring the war in Ukraine. He threatened to “substantially raise” tariffs on Indian goods, just days after a fresh 25% duty was imposed. India responded swiftly, calling the claims “unjustified and unreasonable.” Officials clarified that India imports and refines oil—it doesn't resell crude. They also pointed to continued Western trade with Russia, including LNG, fertilizers, and nuclear fuel. Interestingly, Indian refiners are not backing off. In fact, they've recently booked Russian spot deals with $3-per-barrel discounts. At the same time, Indian companies are in talks with U.S. LPG suppliers—proving that while rhetoric may rise, trade ties are still complex. Alibaba's Final Goodbye to Paytm After a decade of investing, Alibaba has fully exited Paytm. Its affiliate, Antfin Netherlands, sold its remaining 5.84% stake in One97 Communications via a ₹3,803 crore block deal at a slight discount to market price. At its peak, Chinese investors held nearly 35% of Paytm's pre-IPO equity—a figure that sparked regulatory scrutiny. This final exit follows gradual offloading, including a 4% stake sold in May and a 10.3% transfer to Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma in 2023. The exit comes as Paytm posts its first-ever quarterly profit—₹123 crore in Q1 FY26. With Chinese ownership concerns now behind it, regulatory hurdles may ease, especially around its pending payment aggregator license. Airtel Launches India's Own Sovereign Cloud Bharti Airtel has entered the sovereign cloud race, launching a telco-grade, India-hosted platform under its digital arm, Xtelify. The platform stores and processes sensitive data entirely within India—key for regulated sectors like banking and government. By bundling its network with the cloud, Airtel claims it can cut enterprise cloud costs by up to 40%. The offering is powered by its data center unit, Nxtra, and aims to rival global players like AWS, Microsoft, and Google. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Trump Hits Brazil With 50% Tariff In a fiery escalation, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on all Brazilian imports starting August 1. The move follows a diplomatic spat with Brazil's President Lula da Silva, who called Trump an “unwanted emperor.” Trump fired back with a sharply worded letter defending ex-President Jair Bolsonaro, calling his trial “a witch hunt” and accusing Brazil of censorship and unfair trade. “Brazil has treated Bolsonaro disgracefully,” Trump wrote, adding that the tariffs are just the beginning. A Section 301 investigation into Brazil's digital trade practices is also underway. Trump hinted at possible revisions if Brazil reforms, but warned of further hikes otherwise. #USBrazilTensions #TrumpTariffs #Geopolitics #JairBolsonaro #TradeWar Trump Threatens 200% Pharma Tariff, India Alarmed Trump is now eyeing a 200% tariff on pharmaceutical imports, a move that could hit India's $30 billion pharma exports hard. The threat follows a Section 232 probe launched in April into whether pharma imports pose a national security risk. The U.S. accounts for 31% of Indian pharma exports and sources nearly 40% of its generics from India. Indian manufacturers warn this could worsen drug shortages in the U.S. and disrupt patient care. “Adding tariffs will hurt patients and delay our investments in the U.S.,” said Kathleen Jaeger of the Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance. The final decision is expected soon, and Indian pharma companies are already weighing exit strategies. #PharmaTariffs #IndianPharma #GenericDrugs #TrumpTrade #DrugShortage New US Visa Fee Raises Travel Costs Planning a U.S. trip? Brace for a higher bill. Under Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a new $250 Visa Integrity Fee is in effect for most non-immigrant visas including B1/B2 (tourist/business), F and M (student), H-1B (work), and J (exchange). The fee, described as a refundable “good behavior bond”, is meant to enforce compliance with visa terms—no overstaying or unauthorized work. Starting in 2026, the fee will rise annually with inflation. For Indian travelers, it means the cost of a U.S. tourist visa jumps from $185 to $472 (~₹40,500). Refunds are rare and only apply to those who strictly follow the rules. #USVisaFee #ImmigrationPolicy #H1B #TravelCosts #VisaNews Vedanta Under Fire: “Ponzi Scheme” Allegation Viceroy Research, the short-seller that exposed Wirecard, is now targeting Anil Agarwal's Vedanta Resources. In a damning report, Viceroy labeled the Indian conglomerate a “Ponzi scheme,” citing mismanagement and unsustainable debt. Vedanta has denied the charges, calling them “malicious and baseless.” But co-founder Fraser Perring warned more reports are coming. Viceroy, known for its multi-report takedowns, has a track record of triggering steep stock declines—80% of its targets have suffered. Perring also disclosed that he and his team shorted Vedanta bonds in April. With more revelations likely, investor anxiety is growing. #Vedanta #ViceroyResearch #ShortSelling #FraserPerring #MarketWatch India Scrambles After China Cuts Fertiliser Exports Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has warned of the risks of overdependence on China for fertiliser supplies, following Beijing's export curbs on Di-ammonium phosphate (DAP)—India's second-most used fertiliser. India imported over 2.5 million tonnes of DAP in FY25, much of it from China. The restrictions have spiked global prices and sparked fears of shortages during the kharif sowing season. Goyal called for diversified sourcing, domestic production boosts, and long-term mineral partnerships. He also projected India's agri-exports could grow from ₹4.5 trillion to ₹20 trillion with better processing and branding. But the short-term focus remains: ensuring farmers have what they need to plant. #FertiliserCrisis #ChinaCurbs #PiyushGoyal #AgriExports #DAPShortage Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's Headlines: At the NATO Summit, President Trump doubled down on claims that U.S. strikes “obliterated” Iran's nuclear sites, despite his own intel saying otherwise. In response to internal leaks, the administration is limiting intelligence access for congressional Democrats.
