'India must retaliate': Shashi Tharoor says ‘hidden message' in 50% US tariff
Delhi: On US President Donald Trump announcing additional 25 per cent tariff on India, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor outside Parliament in New Delhi.(PTI) "It will have an impact because we have trade of about $90 billion. If things will get costly by 50 per cent then people will also think before purchasing them. If our competitors Vietnam, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, China will sell products at a lower cost... it will have an impact. The additional 25 per cent tariff has been added on the pretext that we are buying oil, petroleum products from Russia, however, China is purchasing almost double... and they have been giving 90 days while India has been given just three weeks. There seems to some other hidden message from Washington. The government should respond after carefully understanding the situation. We should also impose 50 per cent tariff on US goods."

Indian Railways Rolls Out Battery Swap Stations Across Hyderabad & Secunderabad
Last Updated: These stations allow electric two- and three-wheeler users to quickly replace depleted batteries with fully charged ones. Indian Railways has partnered with Indofast Energy to set up high-tech battery swapping stations at major railway stations in Hyderabad and Secunderabad. This move aims to boost electric vehicle (EV) usage while making urban transport faster and more eco-friendly. How Many Stations Are Ready? So far, 80 swap stations are already live across 25 railway stations — 56 under the Secunderabad division and 24 under Hyderabad. And that's not all. An additional 40 stations will be added in the next three months. Why Is This Important? These battery swapping stations help EV users, especially delivery riders and daily commuters, to quickly switch batteries instead of waiting to charge them. It saves time, removes the fear of running out of power, and supports India's clean energy mission. What Do the Leaders Say? Anant Badjatya, CEO of Indofast Energy, said 'The strong demand we're witnessing underscores the urgent need for accessible and sustainable mobility solutions in our urban centers. We are immensely proud to partner with Indian Railways on this transformative journey and are excited to continue expanding this collaboration to build a greener, more efficient tomorrow, one swift swap at a time." Shri R Gopalakrishnan from South Central Railway, added 'The deployment of battery swapping stations within our premises not only benefits passengers through faster, cleaner last-mile connectivity, but also serves the public by reducing emissions and congestion around station areas. This effort is closely aligned with the Railway Board's policy guidelines on promoting e-mobility at railway stations, showcasing how public-private collaboration can accelerate green mobility across the country". How Will This Help You? If you ride an electric scooter or work in delivery, these stations will make your daily commute easier and faster. No more long charging breaks — just swap and go. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
