A riveting, action-packed year awaits Modi 3.0 on the diplomatic front
The first year of Modi 3.0 will be remembered most for Operation Sindoor, thrusting Pakistan back to the centrestage of Indian foreign policy. By striking terrorist infrastructure deep inside Pakistan, India not only imposed unprecedented costs upon Islamabad for its support to cross-border terrorism but also raised the stakes for the international community's indulgence of Pakistan's duplicity in addressing a core Indian concern. The year also saw milestones being delivered like the India-UK FTA and the India-EU end-of-2025 deadline set by both sides for a similar agreement that the EU has described as the largest deal of its kind anywhere in the world. PM Modi's visit to the US within a month of President Trump's return to the White House, along with the launch of negotiations for a bilateral trade agreement, was also one of the high points. There were other foreign policy pluses, none perhaps more significant than the breakthrough with China in the form of the successful settlement of the five-year-old border standoff. The thaw in the relationship after the Modi-Xi meeting in Oct in Russia saw India resuming bilateral visits to Beijing and agreeing on a host of measures to normalise ties. Among the highlights was the upgrade in ties with the Taliban with the first political contact in the form of external affairs minister S Jaishankar's talks with the acting Afghan foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi. Modi also garnered international attention for his back-to-back visits to Russia and Ukraine, during which he stressed the importance of direct talks to end the war - something the two sides are engaged in currently. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 임플란트 고민 중이라면? 인천 시민이 주목한 33만원 시술 플란치과 더 알아보기 Undo However, many of these foreign policy hits remain an unfinished business and will test India's resolve in the days ahead. On Pakistan, the challenge will be to ensure the global community, particularly the UN Security Council where Pakistan is a member, shows understanding about the punitive terms India has set out in the 'new normal' against Pakistan-sponsored cross-border terrorism. This will be critical in the event of another terrorist attack from across the LoC. The all-party delegations have made a beginning but there's more to be done, while being mindful of the risks of India-Pakistan re-hyphenation that such an exercise might entail. Managing the relationship with the US will be another pressing challenge in the second year of Modi 3.0. This has arisen unexpectedly from Trump's constant needling of India on bilateral trade and perhaps even more damaging utterances on the India-Pakistan conflict, like his use of the term mediation - a big taboo in Indian foreign policy lexicon - and his drawing an equivalence between India and Pakistan. India is hoping that not just the US but also its other Quad partners will be more liberal in their support for India on cross-border terrorism, like in the form of a joint statement when the foreign ministers and leaders meet this year. The third significant challenge in the next few months will be to decide whether it's time to reinforce the improvement in ties with Beijing by resuming direct air and normal visa services with and, more importantly, with a visit to the country by Modi for SCO summit. Despite China's ties with Pakistan acting as a deterrent, India has kept the door open for continued engagement. Modi has also shown interest in rebuilding ties with Canada by accepting his counterpart Mark Carney's delayed invitation for the G7 but this will be subject to Ottawa's handling of Khalistani separatists and also the probe into Nijjar murder that wrecked the relationship. Signs of improvement in Pakistan-Taliban ties and the proposal to expand CPEC into Afghanistan might pose a few problems too. All in all, a riveting, action-packed year is what awaits Modi 3.0.

Stocks to buy under ₹100: Experts recommend five shares to buy today — 11 June 2025
Buy or sell stocks: Despite the continuous uptrend in the Mid-cap and Small-cap indices, key benchmark indices ended flat on Tuesday. The Nifty 50 index ended marginally higher, while the BSE Sensex finished 53 points lower at 82,391. The Bank Nifty index ended 210 points downside at 56,629. Grasim, Tech Mahindra, and Dr Reddy were among the major gainers on the Nifty. Conversely, Trent, Maruti, and Bajaj Finance faced selling pressure and became major losers. The Nifty Mid-cap and Small-cap indices continued their upward journey, ending with minor gains along with the Nifty. The Nifty Small-cap index continued its upward journey for the seventh day in a row, closing at its highest level since 03-Jan-2025. The market breadth remained decisively positive for the fifth consecutive session, with advancing stocks significantly outpacing declining ones, as indicated by a BSE advance-decline ratio of 1.25. On outlook of the Indian stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research — Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, "We expect markets to continue to consolidate and remain range-bound with a positive bias." Speaking on the outlook for the Nifty 50 today, Shiju Kuthupalakkal, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, "The Nifty 50 index once again witnessed a sluggish session with a very narrow movement throughout the session to end on a flat note with the broader market showing some active participation to support the overall sentiment maintained positive. The index has consolidated and sustained above the 25,000 zone, maintaining the trend intact. Once the recent peak of 25,116 zones is breached decisively, one can expect fresh targets of 25,600 and 26,000 in the coming days for the index, as mentioned earlier." "The Bank Nifty index, after the strong spurt, has been witnessing a gradual slide since the last two sessions, maintaining the positive bias, and with the 56,000 zone positioned as the important support zone, the index would need another round of momentum breaching the 57,000 decisively to expect fresh upward move. As said earlier, one can expect the index to gain further for fresh upside targets of 57,800 and 60,000 achievable in the coming days with the 55,800 zone as the important support area," Shiju Kuthupalakkal said.

India Inc's ship needs more armaments, least prepared in APAC to tackle financial and geopolitical risks: Kroll Study
Mumbai: India Inc demonstrated the lowest levels of preparedness across the Asia Pacific region to deal with various business challenges, including financial health and geopolitical risk, in a study by financial and risk advisory firm Kroll (formerly Duff & Phelps). Less than a fourth (about 24%) of C-suite leaders in India feel prepared to address budget challenges, including debt service and financial risks, they may face in the coming year - the lowest among all the countries covered in the study. In comparison, 30% of global market leaders and 32% of Asia Pacific regional leaders express such preparedness. Indian CEOs also displayed lowest confidence in tackling geopolitical challenges such as tariffs, technology controls, cybercrime and supply chain disruptions, said the study shared exclusively with ET. "Global executives, especially in the West, are far more confident about tackling cybersecurity and AI-related challenges as compared to India," said Tarun Bhatia, managing director and co-head APAC, investigations diligence and compliance, Kroll. "While a lot of investments have been made into technology and IT security in India, there are still gaps from an overall risk perspective with limited focus on data leakage, data privacy and educating the workforce." According to Bhatia, one of the key reasons for this is that Indian executives are more focused on financial metrics than risks, "with one eye always on the quarterly performance." "Even amongst boards, the majority of time is spent on business and financial data with cursory discussions on emerging risks and disruptors," he added. Kroll surveyed 1,200 C-suite executives in financial services, FMCG, technology and other industries across more than 20 countries. Only 28% of India respondents feel very prepared to face cybersecurity challenges - second to Hong Kong in their lack of confidence, along with Australia. Within APAC, India and Australia showed the highest level of restructuring consideration over the next year at 24%, compared to 18% at the APAC and global levels. Nearly half of Indian participants said their financial health situation has either not changed or worsened versus one year ago. Geopolitical tensions and economic instability are among the top five challenges highlighted by business leaders globally and in APAC. APAC leaders find proposed US tariffs more worrisome than peers across other regions, with 45% selecting it as a leading geopolitical concern versus 37% globally. India is marginally less affected as compared to China and some Southeast Asian economies, the report said. "The weaponising of tariffs has many companies concerned about the impact on their businesses, including around valuation, supply chain, locational strategies, cost optimisation, compliance, and investment or divestment considerations," Bhatia said. "Gems and jewellery is among the hardest hit with exports facing 26% tariff as against 3%. Textiles and ready-made garments is one of the largest export segments for India and will be negatively affected," he added. Indian business leaders are, however, confident about growth in the domestic market. Tata Group chairman N Chandrasekaran, in a recent address to shareholders of Tata Consumer Products, said India remains one of the bright spots of economic growth amid a volatile global economic environment. "India's long-term growth is underpinned by strong demographic and economic fundamentals and the ongoing structural reforms. India's near-term macro-outlook remains strong with stable growth expectation in 2025, falling inflation, and ongoing monetary easing."
