What we know about six Indian companies sanctioned by Donald Trump's administration for trade with Iran
The Donald Trump administration has sanctioned six Indian companies for trading with Iran, specifically the embattled middle-eastern countries' petroleum, and petrochemical industries. The full sanction list included a total of 13 companies from India, China, Indonesia, Turkiye, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Notably, this came after Donald Trump said that trade negotiations with India would continue, even after the US slapped a 25 per cent tariff and penalties on the country, for purchasing Russian oil. According to an official statement, the United States government said that the 13 entities being targetted for action, have 'engaged in the trans-shipment, sale, and purchase of Iranian-origin petrochemicals'. The move, it added, comes the US views Iran's petrochemical industry and exports as 'a critical sector of the Iranian economy, and have grown in recent years to generate billions of dollars in illicit funds for Iran's destabilising activities'. Kanchan Polymers: The US statement said that Kanchan Polymers has been recorded to have imported and purchased 'over $1.3 million worth of Iranian-origin petrochemical products', including polyethylene, from a sanctioned Iranian company named Tanais Trading. It added, 'Kanchan Polymers is being designated for knowingly engaging in a significant transaction for the purchase, acquisition, sale, transport, or marketing of petrochemical products from Iran.' Alchemical Solutions: The report said that this petrochemical trading company imported and purchased Iranian-origin petrochemical products valued at over $84 million from multiple companies between January and December 2024. Adding, 'Alchemical Solutions is being designated for knowingly engaging in a significant transaction for the purchase, acquisition, sale, transport, or marketing of petrochemical products from Iran,' it said. Ramniklal S Gosalia and Company: As per the report, the petrochemical company that imported and purchased Iranian-origin petrochemical products valued at over $22 milion, including methanol and toluene, from multiple companies between January 2024 and January 2025. It said, 'Ramniklal is being designated for knowingly engaging in a significant transaction for the purchase, acquisition, sale, transport, or marketing of petrochemical products from Iran.' Jupiter Dye Chemical: An India-based petrochemical trading company that has imported and purchased Iranian-origin petrochemical products, including toluene, valued at over $49 million from multiple companies between January 2024 and January 2025. It is 'being designated for knowingly engaging in a significant transaction for the purchase, acquisition, sale, transport, or marketing of petrochemical products from Iran,' it said. Global Industrial Chemicals: India-based company that has imported and purchased Iranian-origin petrochemical products, including methanol, valued at over $51 million from multiple companies, between July 2024 and January 2025. It is 'being designated for knowingly engaging in a significant transaction for the purchase, acquisition, sale, transport, or marketing of petrochemical products from Iran,' the statement added. Persistent Petrochem: An India-based company that has imported approximately $14 million worth of shipments containing Iranian-origin petrochemicals, such as methanol, from multiple companies, including from Bab Al Barsha, with shipping dates between October 2024 and December 2024. The statement said the company 'is being designated for knowingly engaging in a significant transaction for the purchase, acquisition, sale, transport, or marketing of petrochemical products from Iran'. The statement added that the US government is 'willing to remove persons from the SDN List consistent with the law' and that the goal is 'not to punish, but bring about a positive change in behaviour'. Those affected can try the following step to appeal the sanctions: Petitions for removal may be sent to: OFAC.

Tamil actor ‘Powerstar' Srinivasan held by Delhi Police over ₹5-cr loan fraud
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police has arrested Tamil actor and self-styled doctor S Srinivasan, popularly known as Powerstar, in connection with a ₹5-crore loan fraud case, an officer said on Wednesday. Srinivasan, who had been evading trial since 2018 and was declared a 'proclaimed offender' twice, was arrested in Chennai, the Delhi Police said in a statement. According to the statement, the actor allegedly posed as a financier and duped a Delhi-based company of ₹5 crore, promising to secure for it a ₹1,000 crore loan. The money was later found to have been diverted for film production and personal use. "The accused had been absconding for several years and was finally apprehended on July 27 from Vanagaram in Chennai. He has been remanded to judicial custody," Deputy Commissioner of Police (EOW) Ravi Kumar said. According to the complaint, a private firm was allegedly cheated by a group of persons, including Henry Lalremsanga, Deepak Banga, Anil Varshney, and Ramanuja Muvvala, in 2010. "These people claimed to be expert consultants capable of securing high-value funding for hotel and corporate infrastructure projects," said the DCP. They introduced the complainant to S Srinivasan, who introduced himself as the proprietor of a trading company and claimed he could secure the company a ₹1,000 crore loan. As part of the deal, the complainant paid Srinivasan ₹5 crore, ostensibly to purchase adhesive stamps (0.5 per cent of the loan amount), a standard fee in such transactions. However, no loan materialised, and a post-dated cheque of ₹5 crore, issued as security by Srinivasan, bounced due to insufficient funds, police said. During the investigation, the officer said, police found that on December 27, 2010, a sum of ₹5 crore was transferred to the account of the trading company and later moved to accounts controlled by Srinivasan and his wife. Of this money, he withdrew ₹50 lakh and transferred the remaining amount to a joint account, from which a fixed deposit of ₹4 crore was created. Officials said Srinivasan failed to provide any documentation to prove that he had purchased adhesive stamps, which revealed his fraudulent intent. "He was first arrested during the course of investigation but later released on interim bail in 2013 after assuring the court that he would repay ₹10 crore in 15 days. However, he only deposited ₹3.5 lakh and went underground," said the officer. The actor was first declared a proclaimed offender in April 2016. Though re-arrested in March 2017 and granted bail in June the same year, he again absconded, leading to his being declared a PO a second time in November 2018. In their pursuit for him, police zeroed in on his location at Golden Treasure Apartment in Vanagaram in Chennai, and arrested the 64-year-old on July 27. Popularly known as "Powerstar" in the Tamil film industry, Srinivasan has been associated with films as a comedian, producer, and singer. He even projected himself as a politician. He holds a diploma in acupressure from a Chinese university, acquired through distance learning. His passion for cinema led him to establish a trading company in Chennai, through which he allegedly lured businessmen with promises of large bank loans. Srinivasan has acted in several Tamil films. Police said he is also named in six other cases in Chennai for similar offences.
