Fish in new waters
Times of India's Edit Page team comprises senior journalists with wide-ranging interests who debate and opine on the news and issues of the day. Trump's extortionate tariffs needn't badly hurt seafood exporters. But governments have to act fast India's fisheries industry, seen as a sunrise sector, is in uncharted waters thanks to Trump's tariffs. India is the second-largest fish-producing country in the world, accounting for 8% of global production. In fact, seafood exports in 2024-25 reached an impressive $7.38bn. However, the sector is bracing for a whopping 59.72% in US duties if Washington goes ahead with the additional 25% tariff linked to Russian oil on top of the already announced 25% plus 5.76% countervailing duty and 3.96% anti-dumping duty. This will simply price out Indian producers and exporters from the US market. And that is a significant blow because 92% of India's seafood export is shrimp with more than 40% of this shrimp export heading to US. The situation calls for serious support to the industry that employs about 28mn people directly. In the long term, however, the industry must become more efficient not just to insulate itself from the vagaries of global trade but also challenges such as climate change. First, GOI must try to offset the potential loss of the US market by stitching up favourable trade deals with other countries that aid the fisheries industry. The India-UK FTA is a good template. Indian seafood exports to UK – currently valued at Rs 1,000cr – attracted 8.9% duty. With the deal that will come down to zero. We need similar deals with other lucrative markets such as EU. Second, there's an urgent need to harness untapped potential. Budget 2025-26 provides for a framework for sustainable harnessing of marine resources in India's exclusive economic zones and high seas. This must be expedited to increase seafood production. Third, India is facing stiff competition from other producers such as Ecuador, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. To counter this, we need better marketing, storage and transportation to gain efficiency in distribution and sales. Finally, global warming-induced challenges are on the horizon. These range from increasing acidity of oceans to declining dissolved oxygen levels in inland water bodies. Hence, the fisheries industry needs to be backed by serious R&D to facilitate the adoption of new technologies and sustainable practices. Only this will keep the growth momentum going.

Chandigarh eyes global spotlight with FinTech & innovation hub blueprint
Chandigarh: In a development which will put Chandigarh on the international map of advanced technology-driven service providers, the city will be developed as an "International Service Hub" with a focus on the high-value service sector. Under the initiative, cutting-edge financial technology (FinTech) development centres, innovation services, clean and green technologies, and high-end medium, small, and micro enterprise (MSME) clusters will be developed in the city. The plan also involves development of Chandigarh as a hub of knowledge process outsourcing and advanced logistics and digital services. Details of the Chandigarh Administration's plan were recently submitted to the central government, and support was sought from Invest India for the project. The administration was asked to prepare a detailed project report (DPR), for which it will hire a consultant. Secretary, industries, UT emphasised that the initiative aimed at giving a fresh dynamic to the city's service sector. "UT Chandigarh aims to develop an international service hub inspired by the GIFT City model, Gujarat. The plan is tailored to leverage Chandigarh's own institutional strength, governance capacity, and skilled workforce. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Remarkable Pictures from the Moments That Made History Undo The objective is to create a globally competitive, service sector-led economic zone, offering high-end infrastructure, regulatory ease, and targeted incentives." Though based on the GIFT City, the Chandigarh International Service Hub will go beyond it by incorporating additional aspects of the service sector. Unlike GIFT City's financial focus, the Chandigarh model is envisioned to concentrate on high-value service sectors, potentially including FinTech and regulatory technology, R&D and innovation services, clean and green technologies, high-end MSME clusters, knowledge process outsourcing, and advanced logistics and digital services. Industrial Area Phase-III, spread over 153 acres, will be a major focal point for the hub. It has plots of varying sizes, ranging from marla plots to 4 kanal plots. In the recent past, the city struggled with the migration of MSME units to neighbouring Panchkula and Mohali. BOX1: What next? The UT Industries department prepared the scope of work (SoW) for hiring a consulting firm. The firm will conduct a feasibility study of potential sectors, benchmarking of the GIFT City model, regulatory and infrastructure gap assessment, master planning, and DPR formulation. Box: Attracting investors, tapping into GoI schemes Investor engagement and ecosystem building: A joint Chandigarh–Invest India investor outreach strategy post-DPR (roadshows, curated roundtables, global MoUs) has been planned Insights from Invest India's sector and country desks on anchor investor interest and expectations will be tapped into The Chandigarh model will be aligned with central schemes and incentive models. For this purpose, identification of relevant central govt schemes (like PLI, IDH, National Logistics Policy) will be done A Chandigarh-specific incentive and policy package will be formulated, drawing from GIFT, Startup India, and Make in India templates **BOX3: Support from Centre The administration requested support from the central govt in validation and strategic guidance regarding Chandigarh's sectoral choices based on national investment trends and global market outlook The central govt will also provide support in identifying high-potential service sectors suited to Chandigarh's comparative advantages Support in designing the governance and regulatory model has also been sought from Invest India. The applicability of GIFT City's governance models (SPVs, unified regulators, fiscal regimes) to Chandigarh's context will be considered. A request to validate regulatory adaptations for a service-led SEZ or equivalent structure in UT Chandigarh was made Technical partnership with Invest India will be done during DPR preparation - as knowledge partners, reviewers, or advisory members The administration has also sought support in stakeholder consultations, policy formulation, and ecosystem design MSID:: 123237797 413 | Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Pkl set for smooth ride with fresh carpeting of roads
Panchkula: The city is set for a smooth ride with MC gearing up to recarpet its internal roads from next month. The civic body has set aside Rs 20 crore for the project, which aims to cover all sectors under the municipal limits, leaving no internal road unattended. Civic officials said the technical assessment of the roads in all sectors has been completed. Tenders for the project are scheduled to be opened on Aug 13, following which the work will commence in a phased manner. Confirming the development, mayor Kulbhushan Goyal said, "All internal roads will be recarpeted — none will be left out. The entire project is expected to be completed within two to three months." Residents welcomed the move. Mohit Gupta, founder of residents' welfare forum Solution Box, said, "The condition of internal roads varies from sector to sector. Some areas have been awaiting recarpeting for a very long time and are in a pathetic condition." Echoing similar sentiments, SK Nayar, president of Citizens' Welfare Association, said, "Several inner roads are in dire need of repair. The monsoon has only worsened their condition. Recarpeting them will bring the much-needed relief to residents who have been grappling with poor road conditions despite repeated complaints." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search Ads Get Info Undo The sectors dividing the external roads of the city are with the Panchkula Metropolitan Development Authority (PMDA), while the inner roads of sectors are with the corporation.
