US sanctions six Indian firms over Iranian petrochemical imports
The USA has imposed sanctions on at least six India-based companies, accusing them of imported Iranian petrochemical products worth millions of dollars. The action is part of its latest Iran-related sanctions targeting several global entities allegedly engaged in trade of Iranian oil, petroleum products, and petrochemicals. Chennai -based Kanchan Polymers and five Mumbai -based firms-Alchemical Solutions (also known as Chemform Trading), Ramniklal S Gosalia and Company, Jupiter Dye Chem, Global Industrial Chemicals, and Persistent Petrochem -are in the sanctions list issued by the state department as well as the office of foreign assets control (OFAC) on Wednesday (Thursday morning in India). The biggest accusation is against Alchemical Solutions , which allegedly purchased and imported Iranian-origin petrochemical products-which are under US sanctions-worth over $84 million from multiple companies between January and December 2024. Global Industrial is accused of importing Iranian products, including methanol, worth over $51 million between July 2024 and January 2025, while Jupiter Dye Chem is accused of importing products, including toluene, worth over $49 million between January 2024 and January 2025. Ramniklal allegedly imported Iranian petrochemical products, including methanol and toluene, worth over $22 million between January 2024 and January 2025. Persistent Petrochem allegedly imported approximately $14 million worth of Iranian petrochemicals from multiple companies, including Bab Al Barsha, a UAE-based commodities trading company, with shipping dates between October 2024 and December 2024. Kanchan Polymers is accused of importing over $1.3 million worth of Iranian-origin petrochemical products, including polyethylene, from Tanais Trading. These Indian firms have been designated under section 3(a)(iii) of executive order 13846 for "knowingly engaging" in a significant transaction for the purchase, acquisition, sale, transport, or marketing of petrochemical products from Iran. Under the sanctions, all property and interests in property of these companies in the US or under the control of US persons are blocked. The sanctions also block an entity or company which is 50% or more owned by a person or company that is already blocked. Iran Protests Reacting to the development, the Iranian embassy in India on Thursday criticised the US for weaponising economy by imposing sanctions on independent nations like Iran and India. "The United States continues to weaponise the economy and use #sanctions as tools to dictate its will on independent nations such as Iran and India and impede their growth and development," the embassy said in a post on X shared via its official handle @Iran_in_India.

Trump announces trade deal with Pak to develop oil reserves
US President Donald Trump has announced a trade deal with Pakistan, highlighting a joint initiative to develop oil reserves in the South Asian country and even floated the idea that "some day" Islamabad might sell oil to New Delhi, hours after announcing 25% tariffs with additional penalties on India. The US and Pakistan are currently in the process of selecting the oil company for the partnership, Trump stated in a post on Truth Social. "We have just concluded a Deal with the country of Pakistan, whereby Pakistan and the United States will work together on developing their massive oil reserves. We are in the process of choosing the oil company that will lead this partnership. Who knows, maybe they'll be selling oil to India some day!," Trump wrote. The remarks came after Trump announced the new tariffs on imports from India starting Friday, citing Washington's trade deficit with New Delhi and its purchase of Russian oil. Sources told ET that the trade deal with Pakistan is as amorphous as US' trade deals with Indonesia, Japan and Vietnam. Trump's announcement may be aimed at arm twisting India to agree to a deal by the end of this week, claimed an expert on India-US affairs. Pakistan's oil reserves remain largely unexplored and it imports most of its crude oil requirements. According to some estimates, Pakistan is ranked 52nd in the world in proven oil reserves.

Over 22,000 ryots certified for cultivating organic produce in Andhra Pradesh
In a stride toward sustainable agriculture, the Andhra Pradesh State Organic Products Certification Authority (APSOPCA) has certified more than 22,000 farmers, cultivating nearly 31,000 hectares in A.P. and other southern states in the current year. The move has enabled the production of over 1.5 lakh metric tonnes of certified organic and good agricultural produce, unlocking access to premium domestic and international markets. This achievement underscores APSOPCA's growing impact since its establishment in 2022. The APSOPCA is actively transforming the State's agriculture sector through three major certification programmes that support eco-friendly farming and higher farmer incomes, Dr. Yadlapalli Satish, Director, APSOPCA told The Hindu. Dr. Satish explained that under the IndG.A.P. (India Good Agricultural Practices) scheme, benchmarked with international GLOBALG.A.P standards and accredited by the Quality Council of India, the APSOPCA certified 3,495 farmers cultivating 2,621 hectares, generating 9,219 metric tonnes of produce in 2024–25. These products are eligible for export to over 130 countries. Through the National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP), recognised by the EU, Great Britain, Switzerland, and more than 50 countries, APSOPCA certified 18,953 farmers on 28,282 hectares producing 1,42,248 metric tonnes of organic output across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. PGS-India scheme Under the PGS-India (Participatory Guarantee) scheme, a participatory model backed by the National Centre for Organic and Natural Farming, 335 farmers from 55 local groups were certified across 138 hectares, empowering village-level certification processes. The Director observed that, beyond certification, the APSOPCA has developed Traceability 2.0, a web and mobile app-based system that ensures end-to-end transparency from farm to consumer, helping build trust and enhance marketability. Certified organic products command a 20% to 30% higher market price, creating better economic outcomes for farmers. Dr. Satish said that the APSOPCA facilitates seamless collaboration among stakeholders including farmer groups, traders, exporters, and government agencies. 'With a mission to revolutionise agriculture, APSOPCA is not only strengthening food safety and sustainability but also emerging as a national model for organic certification and market integration,' he observed.
