Life's truest companions: Delhi CM at 29th Book Fair
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated the 29th Delhi Book Fair 2025 on Wednesday at Bharat Mandapam in Pragati Maidan. This year's theme is 'The Future of Multilingual India', and the event is being held from August 6 to 10, in collaboration with the Delhi government. The event will be open to the public from 10 AM to 7 PM daily, with no entry cost. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta during the 29th Delhi Book Fair at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi on Wednesday. (PTI) The CM described the fair to be an emotional experience and said, 'Books are life's truest and most selfless companions. They ask for nothing and offer everything. This fair is a celebration of that timeless friendship.' She urged people to read more, saying that books are not merely collections of printed pages; they are guiding lights that shape generations. Delhi minister for art, culture, and languages Kapil Mishra was the guest of honour and praised the book fair for being an intersection of creativity, knowledge, and expression. He proposed that future editions of the fair be held as complete literary festivals, and have platforms for authors, poets, students, and literature enthusiasts to engage and collaborate with each other. This year's edition also includes the 25th Stationery Fair and the 9th Office Automation and Corporate Gifts Fair. Meanwhile, the publishers said the fair is not the same as it used to be. 'Readers have decreased, there is less advertisement and costs are higher. We've been coming here for 15 years, but have been running losses for last 4 times,' said Hemant Madaan, who owns bookshops across the city. 'We've set up multiple stalls here, and that also cost us around ₹7 lakhs,' he added. Smaller publishers found the event to be beneficial. 'I've been coming here for 10 years. My business has grown a lot due to this event,' said Sanjay Jain, the owner of Vidhi book center in Ahmedabad. Visitors said that they had not been able to spot books in languages other than Hindi or English. 'There is a decent collection, but the books should be sorted better,' said a visitor. ' Another visitor said, 'It's a good place to build your collection. This was my first time attending the fair, and I will be coming back next time.' India Trade Promotion Organisation chairman Pradeep Singh Kharola, Federation of Indian Publishers president Naveen Gupta, and senior government officials were also present at the event.

We'll be putting 100% tariff on chips and semiconductors: Trump
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he will impose a 100 per cent tariff on imported computer chips, a move that could sharply increase the cost of electronics, vehicles and home appliances while aiming to boost domestic manufacturing.'We'll be putting a tariff on of approximately 100% on chips and semiconductors,' Trump said during a meeting in the Oval Office with Apple CEO Tim Cook. 'But if you're building in the United States of America, there's no charge.'advertisementTrump framed the move as a way to revive domestic manufacturing and end US reliance on foreign chipmakers. He said American-made chips would be exempt from the import tax. The global chip shortage during the COVID-19 pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in the supply chain and drove up consumer prices, a point Trump cited in justifying the new policy. Trump's approach contrasts with the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act passed in 2022 under then-President Joe Biden, which provided more than USD 50 billion in incentives to support domestic chip production, workforce training and law aimed to make US chipmaking competitive by luring private investment with federal support. Trump has dismissed that path, favoring tariffs over what he sees as corporate demand for semiconductors continues to rise, with sales jumping nearly 20 per cent in the 12 months ending in June, according to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics group.- EndsWith inputs from Associated PressTune InMust Watch

iPhones sold in US should be made in US as Apple pledges $100 billion: Trump
Apple CEO Tim Cook joined President Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday to announce a commitment by the tech company to increase its investment in US manufacturing by an additional USD 100 billion over the next four years.'This is a significant step toward the ultimate goal of ensuring that iPhones sold in the United States of America also are made in America,' Trump said at the press conference. 'Today's announcement is one of the largest commitments in what has become among the greatest investment booms in our nation's history.'advertisementAs part of the Apple announcement, the investments will be about bringing more of its supply chain and advanced manufacturing to the United States as part of an initiative called the American Manufacturing Programme, but it is not a full commitment to build its popular iPhone device domestically. 'This includes new and expanded work with 10 companies across America. They produce components — semiconductor chips included — that are used in Apple products sold all over the world, and we're grateful to the President for his support,' Cook said in a statement announcing the new manufacturing partners include Corning, Coherent, Applied Materials, Texas Instruments and Broadcom among had previously said it intended to invest USD 500 billion domestically, a figure it will now increase to USD 600 billion. Trump in recent months has criticised the tech company and Cook for efforts to shift iPhone production to India to avoid the tariffs his Republican administration had planned for in Qatar earlier this year, Trump said there was 'a little problem' with the Cupertino, California, company and recalled a conversation with Cook in which he said he told the CEO, 'I don't want you building in India.'India has incurred Trump's wrath, as the president signed an order Wednesday to put an additional 25% tariff on the world's most populous country for its use of Russian oil. The new import taxes to be imposed in 21 days could put the combined tariffs on Indian goods at 50 per new pledge comes just a few weeks after it forged a USD 500 million deal with MP Materials, which runs the only rare earths producer in the country. That agreement will enable MP Materials to expand a factory in Texas to use recycled materials to produce magnets that make iPhones on a recent investors call, Cook emphasised that 'there's a load of different things done in the United States.' As examples, he cited some of the iPhone components made in the US, such as the device's glass display and module for identifying people's faces and then indicated the company was gearing to expand its productions of other components in its home country.'We're doing more in this country, and that's on top of having roughly 19 billion chips coming out of the US now, and we will do more,' Cook told analysts last week, without elaborating.- EndsTune InMust Watch
