India tax overhaul may prove popular but will strain treasury
Agencies Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration announced the deepest tax cuts in eight years over the weekend, which are said could bolster his image amid an ongoing trade fight with the United States, but strain government revenues. In the biggest tax overhaul since 2017, the government unveiled sweeping changes to the complex goods and services tax (GST) regime, with consumer, auto and insurance companies likely to emerge as the biggest winners when product prices drop from October, once the reform is approved. India aims to slash taxes on small cars and insurance premiums as part of the reform, a government source said on Monday, sparking a rally in Indian stock markets. The federal government has suggested lowering GST on small petrol and diesel cars to 18% from the current 28%, said the source who is directly involved in the matter. The consumption tax on health and life insurance premiums may also be lowered to 5% or even zero from 18% currently, the same source said. Shares of Maruti Suzuki, the biggest seller of small petrol cars in India, surged nearly 9% on Monday, leading a rally in auto shares that helped push India's benchmark Nifty index 1.3% higher, on course for its best day in three months. Shares of other carmakers such as Mahindra & Mahindra, as well as motorbike manufacturers like Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj Auto, which will also benefit from tax cuts, jumped 2%-4% on Monday. Stocks of insurance companies such as ICICI Prudential, SBI Life, and LIC rose as much as 2%-5% before paring some gains. Modi's deep tax cuts will strain government revenues but have drawn praise from businesses and political pundits who say they will bolster his image in an ongoing trade fight with Washington. In his Independence Day speech on Friday, Modi urged Indians to use more goods made domestically, echoing calls from many of his supporters to boycott U.S. products after Donald Trump hiked tariffs on imports from India to 50% as of Aug. 27. The tax cut plan comes with costs, given that GST is a major revenue generator. IDFC First Bank says the cuts will boost India's gross domestic product (GDP) by 0.6 percentage points over 12 months but will cost the state and federal government $20 billion annually. Modi has vowed to protect farmers, fishermen and cattlemen, following Trump's surprise tariff announcement after trade talks between New Delhi and Washington collapsed over disagreement on opening India's vast farm and dairy sectors and stopping Russian oil purchases. Maruti Chairperson R.C. Bhargava said the tax rationalization is a 'huge reform.' 'With more affordability, more people will come into the purchasing system,' said Bhargava, who declined to comment on proposed tax cuts on small cars until the fine print is out. 'This restructuring of the GST will increase competitiveness of Indian products and the opening of trade borders will bring in the necessary competition. Competition, combined with your ability to produce and sell at lower prices, makes for the best efficiency,' he added. Federal government officials over the weekend said New Delhi has proposed only two rates of taxation – 5% and 18% – under the revamped structure. The highest 28% rate will be abolished. The new proposal, however, will impose a 40% tax on five to seven 'sin-goods' like tobacco products and luxury items. The announcement will not be effective until the GST Council, which is chaired by the federal finance minister and has representatives from all states, gives a nod. A meeting is expected by October. Sales of small cars, defined as those having engine capacity below 1200cc for petrol vehicles and 1500cc for diesel and not exceeding four metres in length, have slowed over the last few years as buyers switched to bigger, feature-rich SUVs. Small cars made up a third of the 4.3 million passenger vehicles sold in the world's third-largest automobile market last fiscal year, down from nearly 50% pre-COVID, industry data showed. The segment makes up half of all cars sold by Maruti, majority-owned by Japan's Suzuki Motor, which saw its market share plunge to about 40% from over 50% in the last five years as sales of its Alto, Dzire and Wagon-R models dropped. Carmakers Hyundai Motor India and Tata Motors also stand to gain. Cars with higher engine capacity that currently attract 28% GST and an additional levy of up to 22% – resulting in total taxes of about 50% – may come under a new special rate of 40%, the source said. The government source added that details are being firmed up to consider if any extra levies should be imposed over the 40% to keep the overall tax incidence for big cars the same at 43%-50%. On the other hand, insurance penetration in India continues to remain low, at 3.8% of GDP, in 2024, according to research firm Swiss Re Institute. The companies believe lowering of GST will help boost sales of insurance products.

Indian Embassy in Qatar celebrates India's 79th Independence Day with patriotic fervour
Tribune News Network Doha The Embassy of India in Qatar, in association with the Indian Cultural Centre (ICC), celebrated the 79th Independence Day of India with grandeur and patriotic zeal on Friday. The event, held at the ICC premises, was attended by more than 350 members of the Indian diaspora, representatives of community organisations, students, and friends of India residing in Qatar. The celebration began with the unfurling of the Indian Tricolour by Ambassador of India to Qatar HE Mr Vipul. As the saffron, white, and green hues of the flag fluttered against the morning sky, the gathering of Indians rose in unison to sing the National Anthem. The solemn moment was followed by the paying of floral tributes to Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, whose values of peace and non-violence continue to inspire India's democratic journey. Ambassador Vipul then read out excerpts from the Address to the Nation delivered by the Hon'ble President of India Smt Droupadi Murmu on the eve of Independence Day. The president's address reflected upon India's remarkable progress over the past decades, its aspirations for the future, and the importance of unity, inclusiveness, and innovation in nation-building. In his address to the gathering, Ambassador Vipul highlighted the ever-strengthening ties between India and Qatar. He recalled the landmark visit of His Highness the Amir of the State of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to India in February this year, during which the two nations elevated their relationship to a strategic partnership. This, he noted, represents a new chapter in India-Qatar relations, covering areas of energy cooperation, trade, investment, security, and cultural exchange. The Ambassador also referred to the successful meetings held by a visiting Indian multi-party delegation in Doha in May 2025, which further reinforced bilateral engagement at the political and parliamentary levels. He expressed his gratitude to the Qatari leadership for their unequivocal condemnation of the Pahalgam attack, a gesture which underscored the depth of understanding and solidarity between the two nations. Ambassador Vipul extended his sincere appreciation to His Highness the Amir and the Government of the State of Qatar for their consistent support and patronage to the large Indian community living in the country. He commended the contributions of over 850,000 Indians in Qatar, who form the largest expatriate community in the state. 'The Indians in Qatar play a pivotal role in India's development story and in strengthening our ties with the wider world,' the Ambassador said. He also acknowledged the efforts of various Indian community organisations, cultural groups, and social associations for their dedication to community welfare, cultural exchange, and fostering India-Qatar friendship. The formal proceedings were followed by a lively cultural programme. School children and members of the Indian community presented patriotic songs, dances, and skits that paid homage to India's rich history, cultural heritage, and spirit of unity in diversity. The performances created an atmosphere of pride and joy, reminding the diaspora of their deep-rooted connection to their homeland. The programme also reflected the diversity of India's diaspora in Qatar, as performers from different states of India came together to showcase folk dances, classical renditions, and group songs in multiple Indian languages. The cultural segment was warmly received by the audience, who enthusiastically joined in clapping and singing along. To ensure that the celebrations reached a larger audience, the Embassy live-streamed the entire programme on its official Facebook and YouTube channels. This allowed thousands of Indians across Qatar, who were unable to attend in person, to participate virtually in the national celebration. The digital initiative highlighted the Embassy's commitment to inclusivity and community engagement. The event concluded with a renewed sense of pride and patriotism among attendees. For many members of the Indian diaspora in Qatar, the Independence Day celebration was not just a ceremonial occasion but a reminder of the values of democracy, pluralism, and resilience that India stands for. The 79th Independence Day celebrations at the Indian Cultural Centre in Doha thus became a vibrant expression of unity, reflecting the enduring spirit of India and its growing partnership with Qatar. The presence of community leaders, families, and children underlined the collective pride of Indians abroad in their nation's achievements and aspirations.

Tribune News Network Doha Poised to shape Qatar's diplomatic future, students from Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q) spent their summer stepping onto the world stage through prestigious United Nations programs at the centre of global decision-making. Fatima Al-Khanji and Salman Al-Emadi, Class of 2026, spent their summer in UN offices in New York as Youth Fellows, part of a competitive internship programme organised by the Qatar Leadership Center and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research. 'Each of us was placed in different UN offices based on our CVs and interests,' explained Fatima, who worked at the UN Protocol and Liaison Service. Class of 2025 graduates Waad Al-Maadeed, Khalid Al-Kuwari, and Mohammed Al-Mesnid also were selected for the prestigious programme. 'From escorting dignitaries to managing logistics for credential ceremonies and major conferences, I was able to see the heart of international diplomacy in action,' shared Fatima. Qatar UN Youth Delegates Rising senior Noor Al-Thani also spent her summer in diplomatic service as one of six national delegates for the Qatar United Nations Youth Delegates Programme, an initiative led by Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Sports and Youth. She spent the summer gaining formal training from national institutions, international organisations, and expert trainers, preparing to represent Qatar on the global stage. 'I will represent Qatar at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September 2025, and participate in several other international conferences, including sessions at the High-Level Political Forum, and possibly in the Social Development Summit, Financing for Development Forum, and the UN Ocean Conference,' shared Noor, who was joined in the programme by Muneera Al Attiyah, Class of 2028. 'Our participation shows that youth are capable of engaging with diplomacy at the highest level not just as observers but as contributors.' Recipe for Success Both Fatima and Noor emphasised the influence of GU-Q in preparing them to contribute to discourse at the highest levels of diplomacy. 'Courses in culture and politics, media and representation, and regional studies equipped me with the tools to analyze and engage with global issues critically,' said Noor. 'Courses like international relations, foreign policy analysis, and cultural diplomacy helped me understand the institutions within which I worked. My French studies have also come in handy — I've used it regularly with some of the francophone colleagues in my office,' said Fatima. Her strengths in diplomatic communications were recognised with a special assignment at the General Assembly and ECOSOC Affairs Division, where she employed her Arabic skills to support a high-level meeting. She recalled:'Hearing Prince Faisal bin Farhan, the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, read aloud what I prepared was a surreal and proud moment I'll never forget.'
