Last Updated:
The OnePlus 13s India launch details are officially out and now we finally know when the compact flagship phone will be unveiled in the country.
The OnePlus 13s launch teasers have been coming in swift in the last few days and we finally have the official date for the new OnePlus 13 series phone in the Indian market. OnePlus 13s will become the third device in the OnePlus 13 series which already has the 13R in the lineup.
The brand has confirmed this will be a compact flagship phone with the latest Snapdragon 8 series chipset and some more interesting features on board.
The OnePlus 13s India launch has been officially confirmed for June 5, 2025 which is just a few weeks away from now. The 13s launch event will happen at 12PM IST on the said date.
OnePlus 13s India Price And Features Expected
The OnePlus 13s is likely to feature a 6.32-inch display which makes it the ideal compact device with powerful credentials. The OnePlus 13s is going to launch in black, pink and even green as the colour options in India. The flat design and the square-ish camera module shown in the teasers hint at a dual sensor system like the 13T which should have a telephoto lens.
It will be intriguing to see if the OnePlus 13s gets any sort of IP rating and packs a 6,000mAh+ sized battery with support for fast charging. It will surely launch with the Android 15-based OxygenOS version and probably some AI features baked into the device like the other OnePlus 13 series models.
We also know that the popular alert slider button is going away with the OnePlus 13s as the company moves to a Plus Key which functions like Apple's Action button on iPhones.
The leaks suggest the OnePlus 13s launch price in India could be around Rs 50,000, while the same model could cost $649 in the US and AED 2,100 for people buying in Dubai.
Now we wait for the OnePlus 13s details to be officially revealed along with its expected price in the market which will show us how the new device will compete with other brands.

New washer standards in works by BIS for root and tuber vegetables to boost export hygiene

New Delhi: The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is set to introduce new standards for washers used to clean root and tuber vegetables, which have a diverse demand across the country as well as globally, two people directly involved in the process said. These machines are crucial for food processing units and major exporters handling produce such as carrots, radish, beetroot, cassava and potatoes, among others. The upcoming standards aim to modernize the way these crops that are pulled from underground and often carry a heavy load of soil and contaminants are cleaned before they reach domestic and international markets. This comes in the backdrop of India pushing to diversify its agricultural and horticultural exports. 'BIS will mandate the use of food-grade, non-corrosive materials such as stainless steel for all parts that come into contact with the vegetables," said the first among the two people mentioned above.

The new BIS standard includes clear test methods to check how well the machines wash, how much they can handle and how safe they are. Only machines that meet these standards will get certified, giving buyers more confidence and helping Indian exporters meet global food safety rules and cut down rejection at ports. Developed economies, including the US, Germany and the Netherlands, already rely on washers made entirely from stainless steel or food-grade polymers, minimizing corrosion and microbial risks. In line with BIS standards 'The move will mandate all such manufacturers to produce the machines in line with BIS standards and obtain certification to ensure better quality. Currently, the ISI mark is not mandatory for these machines, as there were no standards governing their design or performance until now," said the second person. Fresh potato exports continued to play a significant role in India's agricultural trade in calendar year 2024. The country exported 513,537 tonnes of fresh potatoes, registering a slight decline of 0.6% in volume from the previous year. However, the value of these exports surged to a record $110 million in 2024 from $94.5 million in 2023, registering an increase of 16.4%. This rise in value reflects a higher average export price, which grew by 17.1% year-on-year to around $214 per tonne. The major export destinations for potatoes are he UAE, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh.

'At present, machines used to wash such fruits and vegetables are available in the domestic market for around ₹3-4 lakh, while advanced models are priced at about ₹5 lakh," a senior executive of a manufacturing firm told Mint requesting anonymity. With the new standards set to come into effect, the prices of these machines may rise by 10% to 15%, this executive said. 'In this segment, most of the players are MSMEs. These standards may put economic pressure on these manufacturers, but they are essential for keeping the industry on par with global players," said Vinod Kumar Abhash Kumar, trade expert and assistant professor, economics, Delhi University. 'As India moves ahead with free trade agreements with major developed economies such as the UK, US, and EU, aligning our manufacturing practices with international benchmarks will only strengthen our export competitiveness," Kumar said. According to the IMARC Group, India's vegetable washer equipment market was valued at $292.82 million in 2023 and is projected to reach $1.1 billion by 2033. Growth is being driven by increased health awareness, stricter food safety regulations and greater adoption of automated and smart washing solutions by both large and mid-sized processors.

Better washing machines will create better export market opportunities for Indian fruits and vegetables. India's agricultural exports to the US were worth $2.53 billion in FY25, led by spices, cereal preparations, rice, fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy and poultry products.

UK trade minister to meet USTR Greer to discuss implementing tariff deal

LONDON, - Britain's trade minister Jonathan Reynolds will meet U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Tuesday to discuss the implementation of a trade deal that has been complicated by the announcement of fresh U.S. tariffs on steel. Reynolds will review recently agreed deals with counterparts from the U.S. and EU, Britain's two biggest trading partners, during a three-day trip to Paris and Brussels this week. The deals struck last month are both political pacts rather than formal trade agreements, and the details of their implementation have not been set out. Starmer and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to reduce tariffs on British imports of cars and steel to the United States, but its delayed implementation means tariffs may go up before they come down. Last week, Trump said that tariffs on imported steel would rise to 50% from 25% from Wednesday. Industry body UK Steel said it understood that British producers would likely be impacted by the change, which would be a "body blow" to the sector. A British government spokesperson said the UK was engaging with the United States on the implications of the announcement ahead of Reynolds' meeting with Greer to discuss implementation timelines of the bilateral agreement in Paris. "We recognise our relationship with G7 allies and EU counterparts must continue to evolve and deliver a better trading environment for our businesses and exporters," Reynolds said in a statement ahead of the trip. Reynolds will also meet Indian Minister of Commerce Piyush Goyal to discuss a recently negotiated Free Trade Agreement, which is still having its legal text finalised and is subject to ratification in both countries, which could take months. After meetings with G7 and OECD counterparts in Paris, Reynolds will hold talks with EU trade commissioner Maros Sefcovic. As part of efforts to reset ties without fundamentally reopening the Brexit deal, Britain and the EU have agreed to conclude talks to remove red tape on its food trade, but details of the plan have yet to be finalised. In advance of that agreement coming into force, Britain on Monday said it would scrap border checks on fruit and vegetables imported from the European Union, that had been due to be effective beginning in July.

US probing Adani Group link to Iran LPG trade, says report; firm calls it ‘baseless, mischievous'

Prosecutors in the US are investigating whether Indian businessman Gautam Adani's companies imported Iranian liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) into India through the Adani Group's Mundra port, despite US sanctions on Iran, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. This comes at a time when the Trump administration is rolling back on the enforcement of certain white-collar crimes, including cases related to foreign bribery and sanctions evasion. Tankers travelling between Mundra in Gujarat and the Persian Gulf exhibited traits common to ships evading sanctions, the WSJ report said. The US Justice Department is reviewing the activities of several LPG tankers used to ship cargoes to Adani Enterprises, it said. In a statement, the Adani Group said the report was 'baseless and mischievous'. 'Adani categorically denies any deliberate engagement in sanctions evasion or trade involving Iranian-origin LPG. Further, we are not aware of any investigation by US authorities on this subject,' it said. 'The WSJ's story appears to be based entirely on incorrect assumptions and speculation. Any suggestion that Adani Group entities are knowingly in contravention of US sanctions on Iran is strongly denied. Any assertion to the contrary would not only be slanderous but also deemed to be an intentional act to injure the reputation and interests of the Adani Group,' the statement said. 'The rights of Adani Group entities and personnel in this regard are expressly reserved.' Earlier, US President Donald Trump had warned that any country or person buying oil or petrochemicals from Iran would face immediate secondary sanctions, effectively barring them from doing business with the US. Trump made this statement in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, emphasising that such entities would not be allowed to engage in any form of business with the US. This warning is apparently part of Trump's 'maximum pressure' campaign against Iran, aimed at completely shutting down the country's oil exports. Trump accused Iran of financing militant groups and emphasised the need to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb. His comments appear to be directed at China, which imports over 1 million barrels per day from Iran. But US sanctions are unlikely to impact Iranian oil flowing to China, unless the White House targets Beijing's state-owned enterprises and infrastructure. Trump has taken a tough stand on Iran, including pulling the US out of the nuclear agreement negotiated by former President Barack Obama. This move is consistent with his earlier decision to impose secondary tariffs on countries buying oil from Venezuela, another OPEC member. The implications of these sanctions and tariffs will likely have far-reaching consequences for the global oil market and US relations with key players like China and Iran. The investigation into the Adani Group's alleged import of Iranian LPG comes at a time when the US administration is easing enforcement of white-collar crimes. The rollback on the enforcement of certain types of white-collar crimes, including cases related to foreign bribery, public corruption, money laundering and crypto markets, came after Trump signed an executive order directing the US Justice Department to halt prosecuting Americans accused of bribing foreign officials to secure overseas business deals. At the Justice Department, Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered prosecutors to focus their anti-money-laundering and sanctions-evasion attention on drug cartels and international crime organisations. It says the administration is effectively redefining what constitutes a crime in some business conduct cases. These decisions aim to provide relief to US citizens, but may also benefit companies and executives facing charges in US courts, like key executives of the Adani Group who are currently facing bribery charges. According to sources, the new policy could potentially provide relief to Azure Power — which had a contract (a build, operate and transfer deal) with an Adani Group firm for building a solar project that had come under the scanner for alleged bribery allegations — and, by extension, the Adani Group.
