< Back Time for the rebirth of the Russia-India-China Trilateral? 7 Aug 2025 New pacts with Russia, recalibration with China, BRICS relations move up on India’s list of priorities. W.e.f. August 27 th , the new tariff rates for sectors would be: - Gems and jewellery ($12 billion) – 52.1% - Textiles and clothing ($10.3 billion) – 59% - Electrical components and machinery (~$9 billion) – 51.3% - Chemicals ($2.34 billion) – 54% - Shrimp ($2.24 billion) – 33.26% - Leather and footwear ($1.18 billion) – 50% - Carpets ($1.2 billion) – 52.9% India is now at the top of the tariff chart with Brazil. India’s yearly merchandise exports are $425 billion, 10% of the nation’s GDP. Unlike China, it is not an export-led economy. Experts say the time is ripe to revive the Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral. Conceptualised by Russia in the late 1990s, RIC was designed to counter Western dominance and promote cooperation among Eurasia’s largest powers. RIC’s last virtual foreign ministers’ meeting in 2020 was stalled due to the pandemic and Indo-China border tensions. Russia and China are pushing to revive the RIC to counter Trump’s tariff war and Western pressure. Despite acknowledging its value, India remains wary of RIC due to unresolved issues with China. While RIC revival could fuel India’s prowess in the global economy, the nation also wants to balance trade relations with the West. Never miss another post from SalestorsNews150.

Amazon intends to enrich customer data to create a personalised wellness ecosystem in India, and healthcare retail is an integral part of the strategy. It also offers health foods and supplements via FreshtoHome and insurance products via Amazon Pay. Never miss another post from SalestorrsNews150.

< Back China to participate in Bharat Mobility Expo after 5 years 15 Jan 2025 Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 is the nation’s biggest motor show. 40 new products are expected to launch this year. Indo-Chinese ties worsened in early 2020 after a border clash and visa misuse by Chinese executives. India banned many Chinese apps, including TikTok and Shein. Chinese automakers like JSW MG Motor and BYD couldn’t attend the mobility show. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has been working on resolving border tensions. It granted a no objection in principle, allowing China to participate. The government started granting visas to Chinese technical professionals working with companies that secured approvals under the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme. China is among the global leaders in EV technology and battery manufacturing. India imports up to 30% of its auto part imports from China. In FY2024, India bought around $6 billion worth of Chinese components. EV sales may surge from 100,000 units sold in 2024 to double in the next two years. 15-20 EVs, including the luxury segment, could be launched this year. Previous Next

< Back Twitter CEO Dorsey launches messaging app Bitchat 10 Jul 2025 It is a decentralised, peer-to-peer communication app that operates exclusively on Bluetooth mesh networks, without the need for the internet. Twitter Founder Jack Dorsey’s latest product, Bitchat, is in the beta testing phase currently, with a live version available on TestFlight. The app does not need central servers, mobile numbers, email IDs or personal account creation to function. It facilitates encrypted messaging between nearby devices that form local Bluetooth clusters when users move around physically. These clusters direct the flow of messages between devices, enabling communication with users beyond a specific physical range, without relying on Wi-Fi or cellular service. ‘Bridge’ devices can connect overlapping clusters and expand the Bluetooth mesh over larger distances. Messages are relayed across devices, thus crossing a normal Bluetooth range. Messages are stored on devices and are deleted by default, without being sent to a central server, thus ensuring privacy. Users can create password-protected group chats, called Rooms, named using hashtags. Dorsey plans to add WiFi Direct for faster messaging in a future update.

< Back Airbus unveils world’s first hydrogen-powered aircraft. 9 Apr 2025 ZeroE uses hydrogen as primary fuel, which emits only water vapour on combustion. Airbus revealed the world’s first hydrogen-powered aircraft model, ZeroE, during the Airbus 2025 Summit in March in France. ZeroE will have an electric propeller propulsion system running on hydrogen fuel cells that convert hydrogen into electricity. It will feature multi-barrier isolator cabinets for safe hydrogen storage during flight, which demands ultra-low temperatures. ZeroE hydrogen fuel program was announced in 2020 with three concepts, including a Blended Wing Body (BWB) aircraft with a capacity for 200 passengers. In 2022, Airbus changed its plans from BWB to a modified A380, which was recently scrapped due to slower technological advancements. Although the ongoing tests show positive results, the aircraft maker aims to put ZeroE in full-scale commercial deployment by the late 2040s, dependent on easy worldwide availability of hydrogen fuel. Airbus initially planned to manufacture electric aircraft but shifted to hydrogen due to the environmental impact of lithium extraction needed for producing batteries.
