Time of India6 days ago
In a jolt for Ford Motor Company, it is set to recall more than 300,000 vehicles due to a defect that can increase the risk of a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The American automaker is recalling some US vehicles, as an unexpected loss of power brake assist while driving can extend stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash, news agency Reuters reported.
The NHTSA recall report stated that as many as 312,120 vehicles were potentially affected. The administration stated that the vehicle's Electric Brake Booster (EBB) could malfunction while driving or when using the Advanced Driver Assistance System.

Ford reports loss as it sees 2025 tariff hit of $2 bn
Ford reported a narrow loss on Wednesday (July 30, 2025) despite surging sales from consumers seeking to beat tariff impacts as the automaker projected a $2 billion full-year earnings hit due to the levies, according to news agency AFP.
The major US automaker pointed to one-time costs related to vehicle recalls and the cancellation of an electric vehicle program as factors behind a second-quarter loss of $36 million, compared to profits of $1.8 billion in the prior year.
But revenues jumped 5.0 percent to $50.2 billion, a record, as the company notched robust sales of popular truck models and reported strong demand for new sport utility models.
The automaker estimated the second-quarter impact from tariffs to be about $800 million, and it projected a full-year gross tariff hit of $3 billion for 2025, although Ford said it was able to offset about $1 billion of the costs.
US President Donald Trump has announced a slew of tariffs on other countries and on key materials like steel, while pursuing trade deals with major partners.
So far, Trump has sealed agreements with Japan and the European Union that set imports of finished cars at 15 percent. That levy is below the current 25 percent tariff on autos imported from Mexico and Canada. Ford is also affected by Trump's tariffs on imported auto parts.

Israel To Britain To Ukraine – Why 19 Countries Want To Buy This Deadly Missile

Washington: The United States has signed a defence agreement worth $3.5 billion with 19 countries for the supply of AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM). This is the largest single deal for the missile so far. Israel, Ukraine and the United Kingdom are among the buyers. The agreement comes at a time of heightened global tensions, particularly in the Middle East, and with existing AMRAAM stockpiles running low. The AMRAAM can be fitted to every American fighter jet. It also works with most aircraft used by allied nations. The missile is designed to strike targets beyond visual range. It is also deployed in the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS), which can engage threats from the ground. The NASAMS was developed by Norway's Kongsberg and Raytheon. It currently protects the United States and is in service in more than a dozen countries. Ukraine has been using it in the war for the past three years. The missile has seen combat in multiple major conflicts. The U.S. military has used it to shoot down Houthi drones, block drone attacks in Syria and Iraq and protect Israel from Iranian strikes. It can operate in bad weather and engage at any time of day. It travels at a speed of 1,372 metres per second. Recently, the United States approved the supply of AMRAAM missiles to Egypt for the first time. Until now, Egypt's F-16s had relied on less capable AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. The surge in demand has created a need to boost production. Thousands of AMRAAM missiles have been built and around 5,000 have undergone testing. But their heavy use in recent years has depleted reserves. The United States is now investing heavily to speed up manufacturing, with current operations in Ukraine and the Middle East steadily draining missile stocks.

Duty-free access to US cotton, agri items' quota likely on talks table

Duty-free market access to US cotton, accepting agricultural items under limited quotas — these are among the possible concessions that the industry has suggested ahead of the crucial round of negotiations later this month when the US team is expected to arrive in India, The Indian Express has learnt. Earlier this month, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal had sought suggestions from industry executives on ways to sweeten the trade deal with the US. While some sectors have proposed incentives to accommodate US products, industry sources said the recent escalation in tension between New Delhi and Washington — due to additional tariffs over the Russian oil trade — is turning popular sentiment against a trade deal. Importing duty-free US cotton is one of the areas being suggested to the government, which would also benefit domestic manufacturing amid declining cotton production in the country. Notably, Bangladesh, which has signed a deal with the US, had also offered a similar concession. The US market accounts for nearly 30 per cent of India's total apparel exports. A government official said that quotas for American agricultural items have also been considered, but these do not include genetically modified (GM) products. There is significant resistance to GM crops in India, and only one GM crop — Bt cotton — is approved for cultivation. However, no GM food crop is commercially grown in India. Queries emailed to the Commerce and Industry Ministry on the issue remained unanswered till press time. Meanwhile, following the steep tariff announced by the US, the industry has sought immediate relief — like expansion of the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme to more sectors, and the Interest Subvention Scheme (ISS) for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). An exporter who did not want to be named said that established brands are not cancelling orders, but have begun putting them on hold, pending the outcome of negotiations slated for later this month. 'Everybody [US importers] is saying, give us at least three weeks to revert — so, till the US negotiators reach India by August 25, and then maybe some relief could come. Indian exporters can absorb five to seven per cent tariff. Pharma has margins, so the challenge is less there. But in most other areas, margins are low. Other items — say proprietary items like what Apple produces — can withstand the pressure, but footwear and textiles have little margin and the competition is intense,' the exporter said. Another exporter said that higher tariffs could increase exports during the 21-day window. However, if the 50 per cent duty comes into effect, Indian goods will be worse off as compared to China, Bangladesh, Vietnam and most of the other competitors. An executive operating in the gems and jewellery sector said the industry has sought support from the government on the lines of the intervention during Covid, as concerns over imports of rough diamonds still remain and Indian goods may not remain competitive in the US market after 25 per cent tariffs. The Indian Express reported on August 3 that the government has kicked off an exercise to thrash out concessions across sectors that can be offered in the tariff negotiations later this month. Key economic ministries have been asked to examine what they can still afford to offer to sweeten India's deal when the US team visits on August 25. Meanwhile, India has already stepped up its oil imports from the US, with imports jumping over 270 per cent year-on-year in the first four months of 2025. According to data released by the Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCIS), India imported 6.31 million tonnes of US crude in January–April, a sharp increase from 1.69 million tonnes in the same period last year.

Mining dept on month-long drive to recover fines, verify data

1 2 Jaipur: State's Department of Mines and Geology (DMG) began a month-long statewide campaign on Aug 2 to recover pending fines and tighten oversight in the mining sector. The department's director, Deepak Tanwar, issued strict instructions to all mining engineers and assistant mining engineers, calling for immediate action and accountability. Under the 30-day drive, officers have been directed to recover fines listed in various inspection reports. Daily progress reports must be submitted to the vigilance wing through respective zonal heads. Serious irregularities were identified in the Department of Mines and Geology Online Monitoring System (DMGOMS). According to a senior official, "Some engineers made illegal stock entries amounting to lakhs of tonnes without any actual mineral dispatch, causing substantial revenue loss. Less than 2% of the total penalties mentioned in inspection reports had been recovered so far." The misuse of e-Ravanna permits and weighbridges also raised concerns. In several cases, vehicles were shown as weighed and confirmed within just two minutes, despite routes covering up to 40 kilometres. Empty weighbridges were found issuing valid permits, and in some instances, permits from closed mines were misused to transport illegally mined minerals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Upto 15% Discount for Salaried Individuals ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo Tanwar instructed officials to carry out online verification of weighbridge data and initiate action against leaseholders and weighbridge operators involved in malpractice. "Any further lapses will result in disciplinary action against the responsible mining officers," the directive warned. The department also found that some officers, while preparing inspection reports against illegal mining, failed to cancel the corresponding mining leases. In some cases, proceedings under the Land Revenue Act (LR Act) were initiated despite leases still being active—an attempt seen as misleading higher authorities. DMG clarified that such action must only follow formal lease cancellation. Officers have now been asked to cancel non-compliant leases promptly, take possession, and proceed with auctions. Long-pending LR Act files in several offices have also drawn criticism. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
