‘We have to face all current challenges', says Fisheries Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh Lalan without mentioning US tariffs
A day after Defence Minister targeted the US administration following President Donald Trump's unilateral action against India in the middle of negotiations for a trade deal, Union Fisheries Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh Lalan said Monday that 'we will have to face current challenges'. Addressing a press conference after a meeting with seafood exporters and other stakeholders, Lalan said that the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Russia and other markets present opportunities for Indian seafood exporters. Singh said the recently signed India's Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the UK also has provisions for the fisheries sector. 'Aaj ki taarikh me jo bhi chunauti aayi hai uska mukabala karna hai. (Whatever challenges have come today, we have to face them),' Lalan said amid concerns over US President Trump's announcement of 25 per cent additional tariffs over and above the 25 per cent announced earlier. On Sunday, without taking names, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that 'there are some people' who think they are 'sabke boss' and, because 'they do not like the rapid development of India', are trying to make Indian goods expensive. Singh was the first senior minister of the Modi government to target the Trump administration following the US President's unilateral action against India in the middle of negotiations for a trade deal. 'There are some people who do not like the rapid development of India. They don't like it: We are the boss of everyone, how is India growing so rapidly?' he said. Responding to a query, the Union fisheries minister said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made clear that the farmers' interests will not be compromised. During the meeting, exporters, too, said they stand with PM Modi's remarks, Singh said. Seafood exporters gave their suggestions regarding the continuation of the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana in the next cycle of the Finance Commission. Ministers of State for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, S P Singh Baghel and George Kurian, senior officials of the ministry, and other stakeholders attended the meeting. About 50 seafood exporters, representatives of four major seafood exporting states, and officials from the Union Ministry of Commerce also participated in the meeting. The US is the major destination of India's seafood products. India's seafood exports in 2024-25 reached $7.38 billion, amounting to 1.78 million metric tonnes. Shrimp formed the most significant component, accounting for 92 per cent of India's seafood exports, and the US market alone accounted for over 40 per cent of India's total shrimp exports. Meanwhile, as The Indian Express reported, shrimp farmers in Andhra Pradesh 'will be forced to close down or cultivate other species that do not yield such high profits' if the US decides to go ahead with the additional 25 per cent tariffs. There are around 6.5 lakh aquafarmers in Andhra Pradesh, and of the 241 aquaculture exporters in the country, 171 are based in the state. 'Medium and big farmers produce larger shrimp, known as 30-count or 40-count, referring to the number of shrimps per kilogramme. About 90% of the large shrimp are exported to the US and sell for Rs 350-400 per kg. Due to the heavy tariffs, exporters will avoid purchasing these,' said S Lal Mohammad, Joint Director (aquaculture), Fisheries Department, Andhra Pradesh. Mohammad said farmers would likely move towards growing smaller shrimp, such as the 100-count variety that sells for around Rs 220-230 per kg, which are generally not sent to the US. D Dileep, Secretary (Andhra Pradesh region), Seafood Exporters Association of India, said the sector will come to a standstill if the tariff issue is not resolved immediately. 'We are talking of closure of operations of not only aqua ponds and farms, but also of hatcheries, shrimp processing units, packaging units, cold storages, and ice factories,' he said. While Andhra Pradesh produces 60 per cent of India's shrimp export, the other major supplier, Odisha, is also bracing for the changes.

Nokia to expand research and development centre in India
Synopsis Nokia plans to expand its R&D center in India, hiring locally and committing to skilling initiatives. BSNL partnered with Nokia, Ericsson, Cisco, and Qualcomm to provide advanced training in 5G and related technologies at BRBRAITT. This collaboration aims to create a job-ready workforce, aligning with the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and fostering innovation in the telecom sector. Nokia Telecom gear maker Nokia is planning to expand its research and development centre in India by hiring more people locally, a top company official said on Monday. Nokia India Country Manager Tarun Chhabra said at a government event that the company has been committed for 30 years and is determined to play a very important role in skilling people locally and then hiring them. "We are going to hire more people in our R&D centre. Other than R&D centre of about 8,000 people, we have around 4,000 people who are supporting all global service operations from India. It means there is a huge opportunity," he said at a BSNL event. "When I talk to telecom operators around the world, they talk about cyber security as the most important thing now. I would say we are committed for 30 years, and we further commit that we are going to play a very important role in skilling the Indian people here, and then hiring them in our R&D centers in the future," Chhabra said. The state-run telecom firm at the event signed an MoU with foreign telecom gear makers Nokia, Ericsson, Cisco, and Qualcomm for rolling out advanced training on 5G, artificial intelligence, machine learning, networking, and digital technologies at BSNL's apex training institute, Bharat Ratna Bhim Rao Ambedkar Institute of Telecom Training (BRBRAITT) in Jabalpur. Union telecom minister Jyotiraditya Scindia called it an important step in line with the Prime Minister's vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, local to global. "Prime Minister's vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, all of that has been encapsulated in an institution that has been named after Bharat Ratna Bimrao Ambedkarji's Telecom Centre of Excellence and Training based in Jabalpur. Qualcomm, Ericsson, Nokia and Cisco, the four most important equipment suppliers for the telecom revolution across the world, have now from today started training courses in BRBBAIT Centre in Jabalpur," Scindia said. He said the agreement is just a seed that has been sown and expects to take it to a much higher level in the days to come. "It is the beginning of a new journey where our human resource potential in India will be not only trained, but hopefully through this training will become part of the international value chain process and in the days to come, pioneer India to move from the services sector to the product sector in the telecom revolution," Scindia said. As part of this initiative, Nokia will train 300 students annually in 5G radio, core networks, and AI/ML applications and Ericsson will provide hands-on 5G training as well as online learning modules under the Ericsson Educate Program to over 2,000 students annually. "This collaboration is an investment in building a future-ready workforce to lead innovation in 5G, IoT, and advanced telecom technologies," Ericsson India Managing Director Nitin Bansal said. Qualcomm Technologies has signed a pact to set up a Qualcomm Institute at BRBRAITT, focusing on advanced 5G and AI training for students, BSNL trainers, and government stakeholders. Under the pact, Cisco will provide free access to online curriculum and digital tools, while BSNL will coordinate implementation across non-profit educational institutions nationwide -- promoting equitable access to digital learning. The collaboration seeks to create a digitally enabled, job-ready youth workforce.

Tesla inaugurates Delhi showroom, focuses on Model Y sales
New Delhi: Elon Musk-run Tesla on Monday inaugurated its first showroom in the National Capital Region (NCR) at the Worldmark 3 complex in Aerocity, marking the electric carmaker's second retail location in India within a month of entering the country. Situated in one of Delhi's busiest business districts, close to Indira Gandhi International Airport, the Aerocity outlet serves as an experience centre where guests can examine the Model Y electric SUV, understand the purchasing process, and discover charging options. Customers from Delhi, Gurugram, Noida and the surrounding areas are anticipated to be served by the location. The launch comes after Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis attended Tesla's India debut on July 15 at Maker Maxity in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex. The company was invited by the chief minister of Maharashtra to establish research and development and manufacturing facilities in the state. Tesla is making a strong effort to enter India's premium EV market before the holiday season with the opening of the new showroom in Delhi, adding a second major metro to its retail map. The company is currently concentrating on increasing retail access and customer onboarding, but it has not yet revealed plans for local manufacturing or additional models for India. The Model Y is currently the flagship model in Tesla's India portfolio. It comes in two different versions: the standard Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) model costs Rs 59.89 lakh, while the Long Range RWD model costs Rs 67.89 lakh (both ex-showroom). Delivery is expected to start in the third quarter of 2025, and reservations opened in July. The claimed range of the standard Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) Model Y is 500 km on a single charge; the Long Range RWD variant increases this to 622 km. According to Tesla, the Long Range model can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in 5.6 seconds, while the standard model can do so in 5.9 seconds. The top speed of both models is 201 kmph. The standard version can recover up to 238 km of range with a fast charger in 15 minutes, while the Long Range can recover up to 267 km in the same amount of time.
