'No Fear, No Pressure': Govt Says India In A Strong Bargaining Position With Trump On Trade Tariffs
Last Updated: Commerce minister Piyush Goyal outlined the two pillars of the negotiations: one, Viksit Bharat, and two, Atmanirbhar No fear, no pressure—the government has made it clear that when it comes to dealing with the United States on trade tariffs, this will be the mantra. Commerce minister Piyush Goyal outlined the two pillars of the negotiations: one, Viksit Bharat, and two, Atmanirbhar. The US negotiating team is expected to arrive for a scheduled meeting on August 25. While New Delhi aims for a favourable deal with one of its biggest trade partners, it has made clear to American negotiators that India does not make deals under pressure or deadlines. Several reasons support the government's confidence, as highlighted by the commerce minister. India is a trillion-dollar growing economy and has risen to be the world's fifth-largest. This growth has captured the attention of global economies and economic experts, giving India a strong bargaining position. Additionally, the recently concluded trade agreement with the United Kingdom sends a strong message to the US and the world: India will negotiate deals that align with its national interest. Even regarding oil, India refuses to succumb to American pressure. Despite Trump imposing a 10% penalty for buying Russian oil, India has made it clear that it will buy from the supplier offering the best rate to benefit consumers. The ministry of external affairs echoed this stance, stating, 'In securing our energy needs, we are guided by what is on offer in the markets and by the prevailing global circumstances." According to government sources, Trump has also offered low tariffs to Pakistan and Bangladesh, but this does not concern India, as their trade is negligible. India remains powerful, strong, and resilient. Unlike other heads of state who have sought to persuade the American president to reduce tariffs, the Indian side has refused to compromise. In upcoming meetings with American negotiators, Indian representatives will firmly state their positions: no concessions in the agro sector, no easy access for American products to Indian markets, no GM foods, and no harm to the labour-intensive sector. The government believes American consumers could suffer from these stances since Indian products have flooded the market. Moreover, Tim Cook, the Apple CEO, has publicly praised Indian manpower for its unmatched excellence. With this high stance, the commerce minister has made it clear that India has nothing to worry about. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Delhi gets Rs 821 cr as special Central assistance for projects
New Delhi: In a major boost to infrastructure and public services, the Delhi government has received ₹821.26 crore in special assistance from the central government. Of this, 66 percent of the amount has already been released. The funds will support 33 major development projects across sectors such as health, education, transport, water, housing, energy, and mass rapid transit. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta shared the development on social media, thanking the Centre for the financial support. She said the assistance will play a crucial role in strengthening Delhi's infrastructure and transforming the capital in line with the broader national vision of a 'Viksit Bharat.' 'This decision is a visionary step toward turning the vision of ' Viksit Bharat' into 'Viksit Delhi.' With this funding, we will move ahead on key projects that will directly benefit the people of the city,' Gupta said. She emphasized that the Delhi government is committed to completing these projects in a timely, transparent, and high-quality manner. Among the projects to be implemented with this funding are initiatives under health, education, water supply, housing, and the ongoing MRTS (Mass Rapid Transit System) Phase-4. Gupta also acknowledged the ongoing support from the Centre, stating that the 'double engine government' — referring to cooperative governance between the state and central leadership, has consistently contributed to Delhi's development. In recent statements, Gupta outlined her administration's commitment to expanding health services and digital healthcare access. Over 93 lakh Ayushman Bharat Digital Health ID cards have already been issued in Delhi, enabling residents to share medical records digitally with hospitals and doctors. The government has also set a target of opening more than 1,100 'Ayushman Arogya Mandirs' by March 2026 to strengthen local healthcare access.
