US President Donald Trump vows to intensify economic pressure on India via secondary sanctions
Washington, Aug 7 (UNI) US President Donald Trump has vowed to intensify economic pressure on India over its purchase of Russian oil, implying that these pressures would likely materialise in the form of secondary sanctions. Despite India being one of the US' most prominent trading partners, and the two nations sharing high-level-diplomatic ties, Trump has levied a massive 25% tariff on all imports from the south Asian giant as a punitive measure over New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil and gas. Trump has stated that he will be enacting an additional 25% tariffs on India, bringing the total percentage up to 50% for the world's fourth largest economy, and Washington's ninth-largest trading partner. 'It's only been 8 hours. So, let's see what happens. You're going to see a lot more... You're going to see so much secondary sanctions,' Trump said in response to a question regarding why India was being singled out for its oil purchases from Russia, reports RT. Secondary sanctions are penalties that target third parties who interact with a sanctioned country, with the aim to limit their access to the sanctioning country's market. 'For us, the interest of farmers is our top priority,' Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in response to the sanctions yesterday. 'India will never compromise on the interests of farmers, fishermen, and dairy producers. I know we will have to pay a heavy price for it and I'm ready. India is ready for it," he said. UNI ANV SSP

Home cooked veg thali cost went up by 4 pc and non-veg thali down by 2 pc in July
Chennai, Aug 7 (UNI) In July 2025, the cost of home-cooked vegetarian thali went down by 14% and 13% respectively as compared to same period in 2024 owing to benign commodity prices, as per CRISIL Market Intelligence report. However the cost of home cooked vegetarian thali in July showed a 4% increase over June 2025 while the non-vegetarian food showed a 2% decline for the same period. The decline in vegetarian thali cost year-on-year was led by a sharp drop in the prices of vegetables—primarily tomato, onion and potato (TOP)—on a high base. The prices of tomato fell 36% on-year to Rs.42 per kg in July from Rs.66/kg driven by a high base effect as the prices typically surge around July/August due to seasonality, even breaching Rs. 100 per kg in 2023. Potato and onion prices declined 30% and 36% on-year respectively on a high base. In the year-ago period, potato production dropped 5-7% due to blight infestations and weather changes, which led to a rise in prices. For onion, an 18-20% rise in annual production led to a dip in prices in 2025. Similarly prices of pulses declined 14% on-year, driven by higher production and stock levels compared with the year-ago period and the cost of rice declined 4% on-year. On the other hand, despite a reduction in basic custom duty (BCD) on crude edible oils, vegetable oil prices surged 20% on-year as the benefits of lower BCD have not yet been completely passed on to customers, the report noted. Additionally, a 6% on-year increase in liquefied petroleum gas cylinder prices limited the decline in the overall cost of thalis. As regards the decline in the cost of a non-vegetarian thali was driven by lower vegetable prices and an estimated 12$ on-year drop in broiler prices, which make up about 50% of its cost. On-month, the cost of vegetarian thali rose 4%, while non-vegetarian thali declined 2% in July. The cost increased due to a 31% surge in Tomato prices owing to lower arrivals. The prices of potato and onion edged up 2% and 5% on-month respectively, the report said. In respect of the non-vegetarian thali, an estimated 9% on-month drop in broiler prices contributed to the dip in the cost of a non-vegetarian thali. Broiler prices declined amid lower demand during monsoon and the onset of the Shravan month when a section of the population typically avoids consuming meat, the report noted. The average cost of preparing a thali at home is calculated based on input prices prevailing in north, south, east and west India. A veg thali comprises roti, vegetables (onion, tomato and potato), rice, dal, curd and salad. A non-veg thali has the same elements, except dal, which is replaced by chicken (broiler); broiler prices for July 2025 are estimated figures; weightage of ingredients does not vary based on volatility in commodity prices.
