Cotton import duties have been removed to help the garment industry that has been the most impacted by the tariffs. They have lost a lot of business. This way at least the manufacturing costs go down. My uncle is a garment maker in Tirupur. He is happy that at least the govt has reduced tariffs. I told him that he should sell his export stuff in India. He says that will reduce his profit margins, as Indians don't pay as well. They are a greedy bunch for sure. Still, he is a businessman and employs many in his factory. At least he does that service to society.

If there are profit margins , then might as well reduce that than squeeze the cotton farmers towards distress. But when our politicians ( or LOP) can squeeze the common man on ethanol, it's understandable followers doing the same.
G_B_ Posted September 1, 2025 Posted September 1, 2025 Farmers will get package. Gujarat and Maharashtra are primary cotton growing states. Bjp politically motivated to provude support.

Too much to expect I guess yes cause those are two totally same things to do.... Agriculture is more cyclical with annual seasonality and they will announce at the right time. They will wait to see what is procured and then compensate the difference.
G_B_ Posted September 1, 2025 Posted September 1, 2025 The quantity of gold within foreign exchange reserves reached 879.98 metric tonnes as of June 27, 2025, rising from 840.76 metric tonnes recorded on June 28, 2024. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/india-reduces-us-treasury-bill-holdings-gold-finds-favour-in-forex-reserves-still-among-top-20-t-bills-investors/articleshow/123629162.cms Gold price surges after Trump’s pressure on Federal Reserve Bullion hits record in London auction and spot prices near peak following US president’s move to sack Fed governor https://www.ft.com/content/d0c79387-3dce-4b7d-9581-66808b653863 Interesting to note as per articles BRICS nations (Russia is obviously 0) are pivoting hard towards Gold. Has been the case for multiple months. If back of the envolpe calculations are correct and Trump does sack the Fed then this might result in India gaining anywhere between 50 to 80 billion on forex reserves due to its gold holdings.

By the time the distress on farmers will keep on increasing. One can split the package. Some relief immediately and some after the procurement.
G_B_ Posted September 1, 2025 Posted September 1, 2025 Factory output surges to an over 17-year high in August despite US tariff headwinds https://www.livemint.com/economy/manufacturing-pmi-factory-output-us-tariffs-production-hsbc-india-manufacturing-purchasing-managers-index-11756706998613.html Some might be front-loading of exports. Keep saying RBI has to come to the party.

Too early to say but maybe the geopolitical circumstances have reignited the interest of India into Su57.

I think the deal can be done. We did the same with Su-30 as well na, Su-30 MKI is loaded with Indian radars and hence its an improved version of Su-30 in Indian conditions. Su-57 too, we can assemble it with desi radars, missiles and avionics.
