Index View: Nifty
After a bearish engulfing pattern formation at the start of this week, Nifty has been facing selling pressure to rise up further.

India, Philippines Deepen Defence, Maritime, Space Cooperation: MEA
NEW DELHI: India and the Philippines have agreed to expand their growing defence partnership with a strong emphasis on defence industry collaboration, maritime security, and strategic cooperation across emerging domains such as space, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) stated on Tuesday. During a special press briefing on the occasion of the state visit of the President of the Philippines, Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr, to India, the MEA Secretary (East), Periasamy Kumaran, stated that President Marcos had acknowledged India's cooperation in defence, particularly in the export of Indian defence platforms like the BrahMos missile system, and expressed interest in further strengthening cooperation in defence manufacturing. Discussions on joint military training through enhancing interoperability between the armed forces of both nations also took place, with potential for deeper engagement in joint defence production and technology sharing, as well as the broader export of Indian defence equipment to the Philippines. "President Marcos thanked the Prime Minister for cooperation in the area of the defence industry and the export of Indian platforms to India, including the Brahmos. He also called for greater cooperation in the area of the defence industry," Kumaran stated. "In addition, as part of our broader defence cooperation, we were talking about capacity building, joint exercises or joint cooperative maritime activities and the exchange of training programmes between our officials and all the standard elements that we talk about when it comes to defence cooperation... We talk about more opportunities for India to export our defence platforms... The Philippines certainly showed interest in working with us to explore opportunities for more defence platforms... We are also talking about enhanced cooperation between our coast guards aimed at sharing best practices and enhancing maritime domain awareness on both sides," he added. The MEA also highlighted that both sides recognise the Philippines' unique archipelagic defence needs and, in this context, Indian defence platforms, particularly those suited for coastal and maritime operations, are seen as a good fit for Manila's evolving defence doctrine. In the area of space cooperation, India showcased the cost-effectiveness and technological capabilities of its space programme, which the Philippines expressed strong interest in utilising to address national priorities, as well as called for India's assistance in launching its satellites and developing indigenous space capabilities. "The Philippines is a country of about 7,600 islands. Their defence concept is about archipelagic defence. Their defence doctrine and all the platforms that are of interest to them as part of this archipelagic defence concept would be of interest to them," the MEA Secretary East stated. "Space is another area. We did highlight our capabilities in space and the cost-effectiveness of our space programme... They wanted to try and use some of our space technology and space capabilities to effect social transformation in terms of helping predict weather events, helping with agriculture, and helping with disaster relief. Those are areas which are of interest naturally. We'll be talking in terms of helping with launching Philippine satellites and helping them develop satellites. All of these are on the table," he added. India and the Philippines, in a Joint Declaration on the "Establishment of a Strategic Partnership", following Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Philippines President Marcos' meeting, also underlined the importance of maritime security, where both countries reaffirmed their commitment to the sustainable and peaceful use of ocean resources. Both sides emphasised the importance of shipbuilding cooperation, joint hydrographic surveys, coastal surveillance, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, and search and rescue operations. They also agreed to increase participation in multilateral maritime exercises such as the ASEAN-India Maritime Exercise, India's Exercise MILAN, and the Philippines' Maritime Cooperative Activities, the joint statement stated. The two countries agreed to collaborate in the co-development and co-production of defence equipment to achieve self-reliance in defence production. Cybersecurity was another key area of discussion, with both countries agreeing to deepen cooperation in the digital and cyber domains, including policy dialogue, cybersecurity capacity building, digital public infrastructure, and the protection of critical information infrastructure, as per the statement. On the broader security front, the joint statement reaffirmed the importance of continued engagement through institutional mechanisms like the Joint Defence Cooperation Committee (JDCC) and the Joint Defence Industry and Logistics Committee (JDILC). India and the Philippines also pledged to strengthen counter-terrorism cooperation, with the joint working group on counter-terrorism continuing to focus on issues such as terror financing, organised crime, trafficking, and the misuse of emerging technologies.

Trump Considering Hiking 25% Tariff on India ‘Very Substantially' in Next 24 Hours
He also said that New Delhi's ostensible offer to lower its tariffs to zero is 'not good enough' if it keeps buying Russian oil. New Delhi: US President Donald Trump has reiterated his intention to levy a tariff on Indian goods 'very substantially' higher than the 25% he announced last week, repeating his stance that he is unhappy with India's purchases of Russian oil even as Moscow continues its war with Ukraine. In an interview to CNBC Television on Tuesday (August 5), Trump also claimed that while New Delhi has agreed to charge 'zero tariffs' on American goods, its offer is 'not good enough' as long as it continues to buy oil from Russia. A day prior, Trump had said he would 'substantially raise' his 25% tariff on India – scheduled to go into effect on Thursday – because it was 'not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil' but selling much of this 'on the Open Market for big profits', drawing a rejoinder from the Ministry of External Affairs , which pointed to Washington as well as the EU's continuing economic links with Moscow. Speaking to CNBC, Trump said on Tuesday that he was considering raising his 25% tariff on India 'very substantially over the next 24 hours' because of its purchases of Russian oil. 'So we settled on 25%, but I think I'm gonna raise that very substantially over the next 24 hours, because they're buying Russian oil, they're fuelling the war machine. And if they're going to do that, then I'm not going to be very happy,' he told the channel. Adding that India's tariffs on the US were too high, the president continued: 'Now I will say this. India went from the highest tariffs ever–they will give us zero tariffs … But that's not good enough, because of what they're doing with oil.' Trump on July 30 announced that India would pay a 25% tariff as well as a yet-undisclosed 'penalty' for buying energy and military equipment from Russia. This levy was to kick off two days later, but the executive order Trump signed deferred the date of its implementation to August 7. In a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday, Trump blamed India for not caring 'how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine', adding that because of its dealings with Moscow he would be 'substantially raising the tariff paid by India to the USA'. New Delhi, which had stuck to its cautious approach to the issue when Trump announced the tariff and also went on to call India's economy 'dead', responded by accusing Washington and Brussels of 'targeting' India in an 'unjustified and unreasonable' manner. Charging the US with 'actively encouraging' its imports of Russian oil shortly after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, the Ministry of External Affairs pointed to the US as well as the EU's continuing trade with Russia in various sectors after the latter's invasion began. 'In this background, the targeting of India is unjustified and unreasonable. Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security,' it said in a statement. Citing the US's trade deficit with India as well as the latter's high tariffs, Trump had unveiled a 26% 'reciprocal' tariff on India earlier this year but deferred it pending the completion of negotiations over a trade deal. Talks pursuant to that deal are ongoing but New Delhi's resistance to opening up its dairy and agricultural sector to America is reportedly a sticking point. There is no sign of a deal yet even as Trump has claimed on more than one occasion that India has agreed to lower its tariffs. Bilateral ties have also taken a hit amid Trump's repeated claims – consistently denied by India – that he mediated a ceasefire to the Indo-Pakistani military conflict in May by using trade with the two countries as leverage. The perception of a tilt towards Pakistan was reinforced when Trump hosted a luncheon for Pakistan's army chief , Field Marshal Asim Munir, and more recently taunted India after finalising a trade deal with Islamabad that includes the development of its 'massive' oil reserves. Meanwhile, India since 2022 has emerged as a top buyer of Russian crude oil – which has come under heavy sanctions from the US and its allies. Russia now accounts for nearly 40% of India's oil imports, while Delhi is currently Moscow's second-largest buyer after China. The tariffs have also cast a cloud over the two sides' burgeoning defence partnership. This article went live on August fifth, two thousand twenty five, at fifty-nine minutes past nine at night.

Bar Council says CMS-Induslaw merger violates norms, issues show-cause notice
The Bar Council of India (BCI) has flagged 'unauthorized, unregistered, and impermissible collaborations' between Indian and foreign law firms without following specific registration processes mandated by the country's top legal practice and education regulator. The recent pact between global law firm CMS and one of India's full-service law firms Induslaw has come under BCI's lens, and the regulator has issued show-cause notice to the merged entity. 'The BCI has noted with grave concern that certain foreign law firms, in association with Indian law firms, are holding themselves out as unified or integrated global legal service platforms… The Council affirms that such structures, if implemented and operationalized without prior registration under the Bar Council of India Rules for Registration and Regulation of Foreign Lawyers and Foreign Law Firms in India, 2023… are impermissible,' said BCI in a statement on Monday. The council raised its concerns that these pacts are often structured through 'Swiss Vereins, strategic alliances, exclusive referral models, or joint branding initiatives, which are then publicly promoted under combined identities, thereby portraying to clients and the public at large a de facto integrated legal practice across jurisdictions, including within India.' Swiss Vereins is a kind of a legal partnership model that allows two companies to work under one brand name, but maintain separate financial and legal identity. CMS Induslaw was one such alliance, formed about three months ago, that was mentioned by the BCI in its statement. The deal was aimed at boosting Induslaw's international reach while giving CMS a foothold in a market that bars foreign legal players from practicing Indian law or engaging in litigation in local courts. The joint entity–CMS Induslaw–boasted of 6,800 lawyers in 45 countries, including 1,400 partners in the global firm. Advocate Siddharth Chandrashekhar, counsel at the Bombay High Court, said: 'While the Bar Council of India is right in seeking to discourage backdoor entry practices that are clearly contrary to its regulations, such measures may also inadvertently hamper genuine cross-border collaborations.' Incidentally, just days before the merger was announced, BCI notified amended rules allowing foreign lawyers and law firms to practice foreign law in India on a limited basis. The rules make it clear that foreign lawyers will be restricted to non-litigious matters, involving foreign law, international law, and arbitration—particularly in the context of cross-border transactions and international disputes. To ensure oversight and limit undue competition, the BCI has implemented rigorous registration and renewal requirements for foreign entities. These include documentation related to legal qualifications, no-objection certificates, and formal declarations of regulatory compliance. The council is not satisfied with the merger details and pointed out that CMS Induslaw and Dentons Link Legal, upon scrutiny, appear to have engaged in conduct "violative of the applicable Indian legal and regulatory framework'. Global law firm Dentons had announced its combination with India's Link Legal in 2022. BCI has issued separate 'show cause notices to the concerned entities and individuals involved in the aforementioned arrangements' and highlighted that failure to provide with details of arrangements, etc. will attract penalties. This scrutiny comes at a time when the local legal industry is divided on how the BCI's new rules regarding foreign law firms will impact their practices. The council's framework had introduced a reciprocity model, allowing Indian lawyers and firms to register as foreign law practitioners abroad, thus expanding their global footprint without giving up the right to practice Indian law at home.
