Trump Residences in Gurugram sells out in a day for Rs 3,250 crore
Priced between ₹8 crore and ₹15 crore per residence, the development's 298 homes were sold within a month of its launch. The developers stated this absorption reflects the surging demand for branded, ultra-luxury living in India.
Tribeca Developers, the licensed partner for the Trump Organization in India and Smartworld Developers are jointly developing the project.
The companies added that the project's four ultra-premium penthouses, valued at ₹125 crore, were also fully allotted.
The project, comprising two 51-storey towers and 1.2 million square feet in Gurugram Sector 69 is estimated to be finished within five years of its launch. The investment in the project is around ₹1,200 crore, according to people in the know.
'This project marks the second Trump-branded residential development in North India. The first Trump Towers in Delhi NCR, which launched in 2018 in Gurugram, is also fully sold out and set for delivery later this month,' the companies stated.
Kalpesh Mehta, founder of Tribeca Developers, said that this launch proves the magnetic pull of the Trump brand and how it resonates with India's most discerning buyers.
'The existing Trump project in Gurugram has around 25 to 30 per cent NRI participation, which is very high for luxury projects of this ticket size,' Mehta said.

The vanishing promise: How Trump's visa policies are pushing talent away from US campuses
The United States has long sold itself as the world's premier destination for higher education, a place where students from every corner of the globe could bring their dreams, talent, and ambition. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But that promise is fading. A mix of visa delays, travel bans, and political hostility under President Donald Trump has reshaped the international student experience, and pushed thousands of aspiring scholars to look elsewhere. From dream to dead end For decades, international students formed a cornerstone of American higher education. According to The New York Times, nearly one million were studying in the US just a year ago, and universities — from Columbia to Purdue to Arizona State, relied on them not just for their talent but also for the financial stability they brought. Many paid full tuition, subsidizing aid for domestic students and funding crucial research. But Trump's policies flipped the script. Students from Iran, Afghanistan, and other countries directly impacted by the administration's travel bans found themselves locked out. Even those from top-sending nations like India and China, who make up the bulk of America's international student body, were slowed down by bottlenecked visa appointments and heightened scrutiny. In some months, there were no student visa slots available at all. The Institute of International Education , in a survey of more than 500 US universities, found that over a third reported a dip in international applications last year, the steepest drop since the pandemic. NAFSA , a leading association for international educators, projected that if these problems persisted, new enrollment could fall by as much as 40% this fall, a staggering 150,000 students lost. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'They're literally some of the best in the world' The biggest loss, educators warn, is not financial, it's intellectual. Wendy Wolford, vice provost for international affairs at Cornell University, told The New York Times that 'they're literally some of the best in the world.' Students arriving from abroad enrich classrooms, contribute to groundbreaking research, and expose peers to new perspectives. Their absence, Wolford said, diminishes US campuses and curtails the country's soft power, as fewer students return home carrying goodwill for America. But many students now feel unwelcome. The Trump administration's rhetoric often painted them as security risks or competitors taking slots from US citizens. 'We have people who want to go to Harvard and other schools, they can't get in because we have foreign students there,' Trump argued at one point. Policies followed words. Visas were revoked by the thousands, more than 6,000 in a single year. Students caught up in deportation threats described the process as opaque, while immigration lawyers said many cases seemed ideological. According to The New York Times, o ne Iranian student, Noushin, who secured admission to the University of South Carolina, has been waiting months in 'administrative processing.' On Telegram, she discovered hundreds of others in similar limbo. A chilling effect The fear is not only about entry but also about what comes after. Some students who managed to secure visas worried about being 'trapped', unable to travel home for holidays or apply for internships without risking their status. Others abandoned US universities altogether, choosing institutions in Europe or Asia instead. 'The rules of the game changed dramatically,' Wolford told The New York Times. Trump's travel bans made matters worse. Afghan women awarded full scholarships in the US found themselves unable to attend because visas were simply impossible to obtain. Iranian students, despite winning admission and funding, were stuck abroad while their American peers moved ahead in research labs. Even universities scrambled for solutions. Cornell, for instance, offered affected students the chance to begin the semester at partner campuses in Scotland, Hong Kong, or South Korea. Few took up the offer. Most either held out hope for US visas, or simply gave up. What's at stake The ripple effects stretch far beyond enrollment charts. Losing international students means losing top-tier researchers, engineers, and innovators, many of whom might otherwise stay in the US to fuel its workforce and economy. 'Students like me are not a threat to U.S. society,' Pouria, an Iranian doctoral admit stuck in visa delays, told The New York Times . His research, backed by the Texas Department of Transportation, now risks stalling. For decades, the US higher education system has thrived precisely because it attracted global talent. Now, as students turn away in response to Trump-era policies, other countries are seizing the opportunity. European and Asian universities are seeing the benefits of American hesitation. The question lingers: Will the US regain its role as the beacon for global talent, or will the vanishing promise of its universities become permanent? TOI Education is on WhatsApp now. Follow us

S Jaishankar in Moscow amid US tariff war on Russian oil
In this episode of India Today Global, the focus is on Foreign Minister Dr. Jaishankar's three-day visit to Russia. The trip occurs as the US has imposed an additional 25% tariff on India for purchasing Russian oil, raising the total tariff to 50%. The Trump administration has accused India of financing Russia's war in Ukraine, with Treasury Secretary Scott Besant stating, "India is just profiteering... they are reselling, they made 16 billion in excess profits." Amid these tensions, Jaishankar is set to co-chair the 26th session of the India-Russia Intergovernmental Commission and hold bilateral talks with his counterpart, Sergei Lavrov. The visit also follows meetings between the US President and the leaders of both Russia and Ukraine, aimed at finding a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict.

Losing India would be a strategic disaster in face of China: Nikki Haley to Trump
Former United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, warned that US-India relations are at a breaking point and must be repaired quickly if Washington hopes to contain China's global a Newsweek op-ed published Wednesday, Haley said the Trump administration cannot afford to let tariffs and disputes over Russian oil drive a wedge between the world's two largest United States should not lose sight of what matters most: our shared goals," she wrote. "To face China, the United States must have a friend in India."WASHINGTON, NEW DELHI AT ODDS OVER RUSSIA OIL Tensions escalated after President Donald Trump imposed 25 per cent reciprocal tariffs and an additional 25 per cent levy on New Delhi for continuing to buy Russian oil. The move followed months of friction, including claims over America's role in India-Pakistan ceasefire backed Trump's pressure campaign, saying India's energy purchases "are helping to fund Vladimir Putin's brutal war against Ukraine."But she cautioned against treating India like an adversary. "Scuttling 25 years of momentum with the only country that can serve as a counterweight to Chinese dominance in Asia would be a strategic disaster," she argued that India is essential to Washington's economic and security goals. As the United States seeks to shift supply chains away from China, India offers manufacturing capacity "at China-like scale" for industries like textiles, phones and solar pointed at India's increasing defence ties with the United States and allies like Israel make it a "crucial asset to the free world's security."INDIA'S RISE COULD SURPASS CHINA'S IMPACTIn the long run, she added, India's rise may be the most significant geopolitical development since China's economic ascent. "Simply put, China's ambitions will have to shrink as India's power grows," Haley former South Carolina governor urged direct talks between Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to end what she called a "downward spiral."Without action, she warned, Beijing would exploit the rift. "It would be a massive -- and preventable -- mistake to balloon a trade spat into an enduring rupture."Haley concluded by echoing Ronald Reagan's words to Indira Gandhi at the White House in 1982: although Washington and New Delhi may at times "travel separate paths," their destination should remain the same."The United States should not lose sight of what matters most: our shared goals. To face China, the United States must have a friend in India," she wrote.- EndsWith inputs from agenciesMust Watch
