India reacts with outrage to Trump's tariff hike, 'dead' economy remarks
India is hardly alone in facing Trump's trade wrath - and not the subject to the very highest rates - but the news left business and political leaders wondering how to cope with the fallout Bloomberg By Satviki Sanjay and Swati Gupta Shock, dismay and angst swept across India as businesses, policymakers and citizens digested US President Donald Trump's sharp remarks and a surprise 25 per cent tariff rate earlier this week. While Indian government officials weighed a response and business groups tallied the cost of the trade barrier, the local social media flared up with users protesting Trump's comments and criticizing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not speaking up. It started with Trump saying that India's trade barriers were the 'most strenuous and obnoxious,' in a Truth Social post July 30. He added the US may also impose a penalty for New Delhi's purchase of Russian weapons and energy. Less than a day later, he ripped into India again for aligning with Russia, calling them 'dead economies' in another post. I don't think any head of state has insulted India as Trump does. I don't know how @narendramodi calls him a friend and doesn't speak up. Tariffs, penalties, and saying 'I don't care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care. — Maheshwer Peri (@maheshperi) July 31, 2025 With no imminent trade deal, the 25 per cent tariffs kicked in as of Friday. India is hardly alone in facing Trump's trade wrath — and not the subject to the very highest rates — but the news left business and political leaders wondering how to cope with the fallout. 'Blunt-Force' Message 'Overnight, the US-India trade equation shifted from tense to turbulent,' said Akshat Garg, assistant vice president at Choice Wealth, a Mumbai based financial services firm. The levies 'feel less like structured policy and more like a blunt-force political message.' Complicating the narrative around the India trade deal — or the lack of it — was the US pact with its traditional rival Pakistan that came through on the same day. As the US released rates across the world on Aug. 1, India's relative disadvantage to competitor exporting countries became more apparent, dampening moods and stoking tempers further. 'The biggest blow is that Pakistan and Bangladesh got a better rate than us,' V. Elangovan, managing director at SNQS Internationals, an apparel maker in the south Indian manufacturing hub of Tirupur, told Bloomberg News. 'We were expecting something in the 15 to 20 per cent range.' India's annoyance can be traced back in part to Trump declaring himself the peacemaker that helped broker a ceasefire in the armed conflict between India and Pakistan in May. The move was seen as an effort to upstage Modi and put the two South Asian neighbors on an equal footing, despite India's larger military and economy. The events of this week have cemented that impression further in the eyes of some Indian observers. India has hoped it could do a fair deal with US. But succumbing to bullying is not part of the deal. At the end of the day, a trade deal has to be fair, and it must ensure that lives of Indians become better, not worse. Trump too shall pass. US tariffs are not the end of the… — sushant sareen (@sushantsareen) July 30, 2025 When the tariff rate news first dropped in late Wednesday evening in India, Ashish Kanodia recalls being 'very disturbed.' A director at Kanodia Global, a closely held exporter that gets over 40 per cent of its revenue from the US selling home fabrics to toys, the entrepreneur already has two of its largest US customers seeking discounts to make up for the levy. 'The next six months are going to be difficult for everyone,' Kanodia said, adding that profit margins will be squeezed. If the pain continues for 'months and months,' he said he'll have to start cutting his workforce. The US is India's largest trading partner, with the two-way trade between them at an estimated $129.2 billion in 2024. Compared with India's 25 per cent, Bangladesh was subjected to a 20 per cent tariff, Vietnam got a 20 per cent levy and Indonesia and Pakistan each received 19 per cent duties. 'We know that we have got a deal that is worse than other countries,' said Sabyasachi Ray, executive director at The Gem and Jewelry Export Promotion Council. 'We will take it up with the government.' Quite the unravelling of the Delhi - Washington relationship over the past 48 hours... ???????????????? > Trump announces 25% tariffs against India > Trump announces oil deal with Pakistan > US imposes sanctions against Indian petrochem companies for trading with Iran — Kabir Taneja (@KabirTaneja) July 31, 2025 Trump's actions mark a 180-degree turn for New Delhi's hopes of preferential treatment over regional peers. It was among the first to engage Washington in trade talks in February, confident of hammering out a deal sooner than others. Trump had called India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi 'my friend' in a Feb. 14 post on X and the bond between the two countries 'special.' India is now weighing options to placate the White House, including boosting US imports, Bloomberg News reported citing people familiar with the matter, and many hope that the bilateral relationship and the tariff rate can still be improved. 'It is a storm in the India-US relationship at this moment but I think there's a good chance that it will go away,' Vivek Mishra, deputy director of the Strategic Studies Programme at Delhi based Observer Researcher Foundation, told Bloomberg News. Indian business and trade groups are supporting the government's stance on the deal as the negotiations for a US-India trade deal continue. Negotiating Tactic Jewelry businesses 'are worried but they are not panicking' because they hope a more favorable deal can be worked out, said Ray of the gems export body. 'The negotiation that should be happening should be a win-win, not a win-lose.' The abrupt announcement by Trump over social media when negotiations with India were ongoing 'seems like a knee-jerk reaction,' according to Rohit Kumar, founding partner at public policy research firm The Quantum Hub. 'This appears to be a negotiating tactic aimed at unresolved discussion points,' Kumar said.

I managed to cut Rs 6,000 restaurant food bill by 42% by using this food app and credit card discount; Here's how I cracked the deal
Several food apps, including Zomato and Dine-out, are offering dine-in discounts at restaurants, with some discounts reaching up to 50% . The coolest thing about these offers is that they apply to both popular family restaurants and cozy little cafes. Taking advantage of one of these deals, this correspondent along with six friends, visited a premium family restaurant called The Tandoori Village located in the DLF Mall of India, Noida Film City. We booked a table for seven through the Zomato app. By using the full offer benefits, we enjoyed lunch and managed to save 42% on our total bill ever after covering the optional service charge and convenience fees. We paid Rs 3423. The dishes and drinks we ordered, totaling Rs 5,994, were: Particulars Quantity Price Mineral Water 2 Rs 220 Dahi ke Kebab 1 Rs 545 Tandoori Bharwa Aloo 1 Rs 545 Dal Makhani 1 Rs 495 Subz Miloni 1 Rs 545 Rara Murg 1 Rs 645 Butter Roti 4 Rs 320 Lachcha Paratha 3 Rs 345 Stuffed Paratha 1 Rs 185 Kulfi 2 Rs 690 Roasted/Fried Papad 2 Rs 110 Paneer Hyderabadi 1 Rs 545 Total including Rs 519 service charge and Rs 285.46 GST - Rs 5994 Here's the deal using which we saved 42% on our total food bill of Rs 5994 Here's a step-by-step walk-through on how we nailed the deal: Step 1: Initially, this correspondent searched for restaurant dine-in deals on the Zomato app in Delhi-NCR. Once a suitable restaurant was found, we reserved a table for seven and paid a cover charge of Rs 175. This cover charge was deducted from the final bill at the restaurant, so it's not really an extra fee. As can be seen from the screenshot below, the Zomato app indicated that if we settled the final bill through their platform, they would offer a flat 35% discount. We reached the restaurant and settled down at our table with a stunning view of the outside. Zomato Source: Zomato app Step 2: We placed our usual order for food and beverages. The total came to Rs 5,994, which included a service charge of Rs 519 and Rs 285.46 for Goods and Services Tax (GST). We told the restaurant's manager that we would like to pay via the food aggregator's App. Step 3: We entered the bill of Rs 5,994 and hit the 'Proceed to cart' button. A new mobile page popped up, showing our final bill as Rs 3,721.1. We applied for a HSBC credit card discount of up to 12%. This brought the bill down by Rs 446.53. So, the total came to Rs 3274.57. However, Zomato applied a convenience fee of Rs 149, which raised our final bill to Rs 3,423.57. In total, we ended up paying Rs 3423.57 for a restaurant bill of Rs 5,994. In percentage terms it comes to Rs 5994-3423.57/5994*100= Rs 2570.43/5994*100= 42.883%The final bill included a service charge of Rs 519 and Rs 285.46 in GST Zomato Source: Zomato app Similar deals in other restaurants on Zomato and Dine-out by Swiggy These restaurant deals are offered by the food aggregators at their discretion and are subject to change as per their policy. Some restaurant discounts might be available only during specified hours like off-peak hours. So do re-check the deal before dining out at the restaurants. Also remember that the discounts can be restaurant-specific even if it's a national restaurant deals were available on July 28, 2025, and were checked by this correspondent.
