Madame bolsters Chhattisgarh retail presence with new Raipur store
'Chhattisgarh represents a vibrant, growing market with tremendous potential for premium women's fashion,' said Madame's managing director and CEO Akhil Jain in a press release. 'The overwhelming response to our recent stores has encouraged us to fast-track our expansion. With increasing disposable income and fashion awareness, consumers here are actively seeking stylish, high-quality clothing- and Madame is ready to meet this demand.'
The new Raipur store features Madame's full product range, including dresses, tops, denim, sling bags, stoles, and perfumes, designed to cater to the tastes of modern Indian women. The summer collection highlights bold prints in abstract, floral, and geometric styles, with a mix of dresses, co-ord sets, skirts, and jumpsuits. The brand uses a data-driven approach to trend forecasting and silhouette design, aiming to emphasise fabric innovation and customer satisfaction.
'Chhattisgarh's women are fashion-savvy and appreciate quality and style- values that are core to Madame's identity,' said Jain. 'Our expansion isn't just about opening more stores; it's about creating immersive fashion destinations that reflect what today's Indian woman desires.'

Trump imposes additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, relations hit new low
"India will take all actions necessary to protect its national interests," India's external affairs ministry said in a statement, saying it was "extremely unfortunate that the US should choose to impose additional tariffs on India for actions that several other countries are also taking in their own national interest." It said India's imports were based on market factors and aimed at energy security for its population of 1.4 billion. Trade analysts warned the tariffs could severely disrupt Indian exports. The additional 25% tariff comes into effect 21 days after August 7, the order said. 'With such obnoxious tariff rates, trade between the two nations would be practically dead,' said Madhavi Arora, economist at Emkay Global. Indian officials have privately acknowledged growing pressure to return to the negotiating table. A potential compromise could involve a phased reduction in Russian oil imports and diversification of energy sources. A senior Indian official said New Delhi was blindsided by the sudden imposition of the new levy and the steep rate, as both countries continue to discuss trade issues. Trump's decision follows five rounds of inconclusive trade negotiations, which stalled over US demands for greater access to Indian agriculture and dairy markets. India's refusal to curb Russian oil purchases — which surged to a record 52 billion dollars last year — ultimately triggered the tariff escalation. "Exports to the US become unviable at this rate. Clearly, risks to growth and exports are rising, and the rupee may face renewed pressure," said Garima Kapoor, economist at Elara Securities. "Calls for fiscal support are likely to intensify." Trump's executive order does not mention China, which also buys Russian oil. A White House official had no immediate comment on whether an additional order covering those purchases would be forthcoming. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent last week said he warned Chinese officials that continued purchases of sanctioned Russian oil would lead to big tariffs due to legislation in Congress, but was told that Beijing would protect its energy sovereignty. The US and China have been engaged in discussions about trade and tariffs, with an eye to extending a 90-day tariff truce that is due to expire on August 12, when their bilateral tariffs shoot back up to triple-digit figures.
