India plans new defence system
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged the country on Friday to move towards more self-reliance, manufacture everything from fertilisers to jet engines and EV batteries, and vowed to protect farmers in the face of a trade conflict with Washington. With the punishing tariffs imposed on Indian exports by US President Donald Trump expected to hurt growth in the world's fastest growing major economy, Modi announced lower goods and services taxes (GST) from October — a move that could help boost consumption. He also announced India would set up a new defence system called 'Sudarshan Chakra' in the aftermath of India's four-day military conflict with Pakistan in May. He did not elaborate but a government statement said the system is aimed at neutralising enemy infiltrations and enhancing India's offensive capabilities. Indian defence and policy circles have informally referred to the Russian S-400 air defence system — which played a key role during the fighting with Pakistan — as Sudarshan Chakra, after a Hindu mythological weapon. Modi was addressing the nation on the occasion of its Independence Day at a time New Delhi has been struggling with Trump's tariffs and the collapse of trade talks, largely due to differences over imports of American farm and dairy products. "Farmers, fishermen, cattle rearers are our top priorities," Modi said in his customary annual address from the ramparts of the Red Fort in New Delhi. "Modi will stand like a wall against any policy that threatens their interests. India will never compromise when it comes to protecting the interests of our farmers," he said. Modi did not mention the tariffs or the US in his speech that lasted nearly two hours. Last week, Trump imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, citing New Delhi's continued imports of Russian oil in a move that sharply escalated tensions between the two nations. The new import tax will raise duties on some Indian exports to as high as 50% — among the highest levied on any US trading partner. Modi has never spoken about the tariffs directly, only alluding to them in a speech last week, where he swore to protect the interests of farmers, even if it came at a personal price. Farmers are a key political constituency in India and they violently protested against Modi's last big push to reform the sector, forcing him to repeal three farm laws in 2021 in what was a rare defeat for him. Tax cuts to boost consumption Although local manufacturing and self-reliance have been Modi's key focus areas for years now, the push is seen to have gained urgency amid ongoing global trade tensions and supply chain disruptions. "The need of the hour is to take a resolve for building a strong India ... I want our traders, shopkeepers to display boards for 'Swadeshi' products," Modi said, using the Hindi word for made in India goods. Reuters

IWT: India steps up its jingoistic rhetoric
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Friday that India is seeking self-reliance in energy independence and the development of its own powerful defence systems, vowing to defend his country's interests 'like a wall'. Modi delivered his annual Independence Day address from the imposing ramparts of New Delhi's Red Fort at a time when India faces intense pressure and threats of additional tariffs from the United States. 'Self-reliance is the foundation of developed India,' Modi said after a flypast of military helicopters scattered flower petals above an invited crowd of thousands. 'Freedom becomes meaningless if someone becomes too dependent on others'. Ties between New Delhi and Washington have been strained by Trump's ultimatum that India end its purchases of Russian oil, a key source of revenue for Moscow as it wages its military offensive in Ukraine. Modi also honoured the Indian armed forces, which took part in a four-day conflict with arch-rival Pakistan that ended in a ceasefire on May 10. 'India will give a befitting reply to any other misadventure by the enemy,' he added, and referred to New Delhi's suspension of its cross-border water sharing treaty with Pakistan. 'India has decided that blood and water will not flow together,' he added. India has said it 'stands ready' to support efforts to end the Ukraine war and endorses a summit to be held between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. But the United States says it will double new import tariffs on India from 25 percent to 50 percent by August 27 if New Delhi does not switch crude suppliers. 'We know that we remain dependent on many countries to meet our energy needs', said Modi, leader of the world's most populous nation and fifth-biggest economy. 'But to build a truly self-reliant India, we must achieve energy independence.' US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a statement congratulating India's Independence Day, said the relations between the two nations were 'consequential and far-reaching', and wanted to 'ensure a brighter future for both'. Modi urged scientists and engineers to focus on building key sectors and technologies including fighter jet engines, semiconductor chips and military hardware systems. 'We will have India-made semiconductor chips in the market by the year's end,' Modi said. He added that the country was also working towards building a space station and would have a 'defence shield' in the next decade, without giving further details.

Independence Day brings message of economic growth: UBG
KARACHI: The country's economic indicators are moving in a positive direction, and improving trade relations with the United States and China have raised hopes of economic recovery and development among the industrial and business community for the coming years. If the government addresses the concerns of the business sector, Pakistan's economy could soon become strong and stable. Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir and Prime Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif, along with their team, are making dedicated efforts toward this goal. Pakistan's 78th Independence Day has brought a message of economic growth and prosperity. According to UBG's central spokesperson Gulzar Feroz, these views were expressed by United Business Group (UBG) President and former FPCCI President Zubair F. Tufail during a conversation with representatives of the business community on Independence Day. Zubair Tufail said that the government must promote locally manufactured products and services both in domestic and international markets. It should prioritize reducing local industrial production costs and facilitating ease of doing business for local and foreign companies. This would help boost investment and significantly increase Pakistan's total exports. The UBG President highlighted that the recent increase in US tariffs poses a serious threat to India's $87 billion exports to the United States. These exports constitute 18% of India's total exports and more than 2% of its GDP. Indian exports in textiles, jewellery, and automobiles could decline by 40-50%, creating a major opportunity for Pakistan's industry to step in. He urged the government to sit down with stakeholders and prepare an effective plan to capitalize on this shift. Business-friendly policies would help the government generate new employment opportunities and reduce poverty. He said the business community is fully prepared to contribute toward strengthening the national economy and improving Pakistan's global image. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025
