Inside JD Vance's lavish stay at Jaipur's Rambagh Palace, where presidential suite costs ₹16 lakh a night
US Vice President JD Vance, accompanied by his Indian-origin wife Usha Vance and their three children dressed in traditional attire, began his four-day visit to India this morning. The American leader was received by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw at Palam Airport.
The visit includes key diplomatic engagements, including a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at the Prime Minister's official residence. Following official meetings in New Delhi, the Vance family will travel to Jaipur on April 22 and Agra on April 23.
The US Vice President and his family will land in Rajasthan's capital, Jaipur, at 9 p.m. and will enjoy a luxurious stay at Rambagh Palace—a Taj property—where they will spend the night in a luxury suite.
The Vance family is reportedly set to stay in the Grand Presidential Suite at Rambagh Palace—the most expensive accommodation the iconic property offers. Spanning an impressive 1,798 square feet, the suite has been specially adorned with photographs of US Vice President JD Vance's family and decorated with fresh, handpicked flowers to mark the occasion, Zee News reported.
As part of the high-level hospitality, a dedicated team of doctors and nurses will be on standby round the clock. The cost for a single night's stay in this luxurious suite is reportedly as high as ₹ 16 lakh.
Nestled within the grand Rambagh Palace, Suvarna Mahal offers an opulent dining experience rooted in India's royal culinary traditions. Set in the former palace ballroom, the restaurant exudes regal charm with its high ceilings, intricate frescoes, and shimmering crystal chandeliers.
Led by Executive Chef Raghu Deora, the menu pays tribute to regional Indian flavours from Rajasthan, Awadh, Punjab, and Hyderabad. Signature dishes include Rajasthani Laal Maas, Dum Pukht Biryani, Dal Makhni, and Gatta Curry—each prepared using time-honoured techniques like slow cooking in clay pots and paired with a carefully curated wine list.
Rambagh Palace was once the official residence of the Maharaja of Jaipur. Today, it stands as a living piece of history—where luxury, heritage, and timeless elegance come together. Staying or dining here means immersing yourself in the grandeur of India's royal past.
The palace is an architectural marvel, with majestic courtyards, ornate archways, and lush gardens. The dining halls—especially Suvarna Mahal's gold-plated interiors and vintage portraits—evoke a sense of time travel to the Rajput and Mughal eras.
At Suvarna Mahal, dinner is not just a meal—it's a sensory journey. The ambiance is enhanced by live classical music, the fragrance of traditional spices, and impeccable service, all of which make guests feel like royalty.

India's goods trade deficit narrows to $21.88 billion in May from year ago
New Delhi: India's merchandise trade deficit narrowed to $21.88 billion in May, data from the ministry of commerce and industry showed on Monday. Merchandise exports fell to $38.73 billion in May from $39.59 billion in the year-ago period. Goods imports declined to $60.61 billion last month from $61.68 billion a year ago. In April, the merchandise trade deficit rose to a five-month high of $26.42 billion on the back of higher imports, even as exports increased. After Trump's tariffs and the India-Pakistan conflict, traders now face the challenge of escalating tensions in West Asia after Israel attacked Iran on 13 June. The armed conflict between Iran and Israel has escalated concerns over the safety of cargo passing through the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, a critical maritime corridor for Indian exports. Over two-thirds of India's oil imports and almost half of its liquefied natural gas imports transit through the Strait of Hormuz. The Israel-Iran attacks have increased shipment costs by up to 50% and threaten to disrupt trade routes across West Asia. Exporters and trade bodies have already flagged shipping delays, rising freight charges, and limited insurance coverage, officials said. The latest conflict comes amid global trade tensions triggered after US President Donald Trump briefly imposed reciprocal tariffs on imports from key partners, including India, before pausing them to allow space for negotiations. The Trump administration has also levied a 10% universal tariff on all imports from every country. India and the US are working out a limited trade deal to ease market access and tariff barriers—a modest but crucial step as India's import bill continues to rise. In addition, the recent India-Pakistan conflict strained regional trade dynamics. Heightened tensions have halted formal exchanges, affecting border economies and informal trade channels. The instability also deters investor confidence in the region, compounding challenges for India's trade outlook amid already rising import bills and global tariff uncertainties. Services exports rose to $32.39 billion in May, from $29.61 billion in the same period of the previous year. Services imports stood at $17.14 billion, compared with $16.88 billion a year earlier. The combined value of merchandise and services exports touched $71.12 billion in May, up from $69.20 billion a year ago.
