Picking on India: How US tariff move targets Russian oil-linked exports
The country needs energy and Trump knew that when he announced a 25 per cent tariff on much of India's exports for sourcing discounted oil from Russia, which is India's oldest ally S Dinakar Amritsar Listen to This Article Not since the days of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger has India been berated by global statesmen in the way American President Donald Trump has done — calling this country, the world's fastest-growing major economy, a 'dead economy' and 'tariff king'. India is a country much different today from what it was in the 1960s and 1970s. Then it was forced to depend on the United States (US) for food aid, some of which the US froze when India did not toe its line in the Vietnam war. Today there's a surplus of food grains,

US regulators blame Indian authorities for failure to serve summons to Gautam Adani
A legal battle in the Eastern District of New York involving Indian billionaire Gautam Adani is facing persistent delays, with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) telling a federal court that Indian authorities have yet to serve formal summons to the Adani Group chairman and his associates. The SEC's latest status report, filed on August 11, claims there are procedural hurdles in serving the summons, which must be done in compliance with the Hague Service civil lawsuit, originally filed last year, accuses Gautam Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani, and other related individuals of securities law violations and misleading representations linked to Adani Group activities. The charges stem from an alleged scheme to pay roughly $265 million in bribes to Indian government officials to secure lucrative solar power contracts, a fact that prosecutors say was concealed from US investors. The Adani Group has consistently denied these allegations, dismissing them as "baseless." The status report, reviewed by India Today, shows that while the SEC has been actively attempting to advance the federal lawsuit -- stemming from allegations of securities law violations and misleading representations tied to Adani Group activities -- progress has stalled due to procedural bottlenecks involving cross-border legal to a previous report from July, the SEC had informed the New York court that nearly four months after requesting assistance from India's Ministry of Law and Justice in February, the summons remained unserved. The Law Ministry had reportedly forwarded the request to a court in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, but the SEC had received no confirmation of the summons being its most recent filing, the SEC confirmed it has continued to communicate with the Indian Law Ministry and is pursuing service under the Hague Convention. However, it stated that as of August 11, Indian authorities "have not yet effected service" despite ongoing correspondence. The SEC also noted that it had issued "Notices of Lawsuit and Requests for Waiver of Service of Summons" directly to Adani's legal counsel in India as an additional legal process is a direct result of an indictment unsealed in a New York court on November 22, 2024, which charged Adani and others with bribery and fraud. The indictment detailed allegations of a bribery scheme spanning from 2020 to 2024 to secure solar power contracts from Indian state electricity distribution companies. The US has jurisdiction in the matter because it alleges the Adani Group misled American banks and investors while raising billions for the solar energy SEC's civil action is separate from the criminal prosecution but stems from the same core allegations.- EndsMust Watch

NCR completes successful ‘Kavach' system trials to enhance safety
Prayagraj: Achieving a significant milestone in the field of safety, authorities of North Central Railways (NCR) successfully completed locomotive trials using the Kavach system on the Mathura-Palwal section of the Agra division under the NCR zone on Tuesday. These trials included simulations of both rear-end collisions and head-on collisions, both of which the Kavach system effectively prevented, demonstrating its potential to enhance railway safety substantially. According to chief public relation officer (CPRO) of NCR, Shashikant Tripathi, for these trials, two locomotives equipped with Kavach technology were utilised: the Kernex Kavach-fitted locomotive 35023 WAP-5 from Ghaziabad and the HBL Kavach-equipped locomotive 30234 WAP-7 from Tughlaqabad. In the rear-end collision simulation, locomotive 1 was stationed beyond a home signal while locomotive 2 was positioned behind the home signal on an auto signal. When the signal was overridden in locomotive 2, it moved toward locomotive 1. However, due to the Kavach system, locomotive 2 automatically applied its brakes and stopped approximately 326m short of locomotive 1, thereby successfully avoiding a rear-end collision. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Similarly, in the head-on collision test, locomotive 1 was positioned ahead of a home signal and then reversed direction by changing cabs. After passing two tag readings to establish direction, locomotive 1 came to a halt. Locomotive 2 crossed the advance starter and entered the block section, moving towards locomotive 1. The Kavach system triggered trip mode in locomotive 2, activating the brakes and stopping it over 5km away from locomotive 1, effectively preventing a head-on collision. The NCR has expressed its commitment to further developing the Kavach system and expanding its implementation across the railway network. "We are confident that Kavach will usher in a new era of railway safety and ensure safer travel experiences for passengers," said Tripathi.
