TEMBO Defence, a subsidiary of TEMBO Global Industries Limited (NSE: TEMBO), has announced a major step forward in its expansion strategy with the receipt of a comfort letter from the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) for the allocation of 100 acres of land in Amravati, near Nagpur.
This strategic land allocation marks a pivotal milestone for TEMBO Defence as it prepares to establish a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to arms and ammunition manufacturing. The upcoming plant will significantly boost domestic defence production, aligning with the Indian government's 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiatives aimed at strengthening national self-reliance in critical sectors.
Mr. Sanjay J. Patel, Managing Director of TEMBO Global Industries Ltd., emphasized the importance of this development:
'This land allocation is a monumental step towards our vision of contributing to India's self-reliance in the defence manufacturing sector. The upcoming facility will not only create significant employment opportunities in the region but also play a pivotal role in strengthening India's defence infrastructure.'
The new facility is expected to generate substantial employment in the Vidarbha region and enhance India's strategic capabilities by supporting indigenous manufacturing

India and US advance toward interim trade deal after four-day talks, say sources
By Manoj Kumar NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Indian and U.S. negotiators made progress in their latest round of talks in New Delhi on Tuesday on a bilateral trade deal, having focused on market access for industrial and some agricultural goods, tariff cuts and non-tariff barriers, Indian government sources said. "The negotiations held with the U.S. side were productive and helped in making progress towards crafting a mutually beneficial and balanced agreement including through achievement of early wins," one of the sources said. The U.S. delegation, led by senior officials from the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, held closed-door negotiations with Indian trade ministry officials headed by chief negotiator Rajesh Agrawal. Both sides discussed increasing bilateral digital trade, by improving customs and trade facilitation measures, the sources said, adding that "negotiations will continue" for early conclusion of the initial tranche of the trade pact. U.S. President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had agreed in February to conclude a bilateral trade agreement by fall 2025 and to more than double bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030. The two sides are expected to sign an interim agreement by the end of the month, before the expiry of Trump's 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs on major trading partners, including a 26% tariff on India. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, currently in Switzerland for talks with European trade partners, said India is prepared to proceed with the deal by first addressing simpler issues. The next phase of negotiations could tackle more complex matters, with the goal of signing the first tranche of the bilateral trade pact by September or October, the officials added. India resisted U.S. demands to open its markets to wheat, dairy and corn imports, while offering lower tariffs on high-value U.S. products such as almonds, pistachios and walnuts, one of the sources said. India also asked the U.S to revoke its 10% baseline tariff. However, the U.S. side opposed this, noting that even Britain was subject to this under its recent bilateral trade agreement. Additionally, India sought an exemption for its steel exports from a 50% tariff. A potential 26% tariff on India would be devastating to Indian goods - including rice, shrimp, textiles and footwear, which together comprise nearly one-fifth of India's merchandise exports - and could severely hit exports and dampen foreign investment inflows. India has pledged to increase purchases of American goods, including energy products like liquefied natural gas, crude oil, coal and defence equipment. India's exports to the U.S. rose 28% to $37.7 billion in the first four months of 2025, while imports increased to $14.4 billion, widening India's trade surplus, according to U.S. government data.

Paytm rolls out personalised UPI IDs for enhanced privacy
Indian payments company Paytm has introduced personalised UPI IDs, enabling users to conduct UPI transactions without revealing their mobile numbers. This feature allows for the creation of unique UPI handles such as name@ptyes or name@ptaxis, currently supported by Yes Bank and Axis Bank, with plans to extend to other banks. Paytm's new feature addresses the privacy concerns of mobile number exposure during UPI payments by allowing users to create custom UPI IDs. To set up a personalised UPI ID, users should navigate to 'UPI Settings' through the profile icon, where they can manage their UPI ID and select a preferred personalised handle. Once confirmed, the new UPI ID becomes the primary identifier for all subsequent UPI transactions, the company explained. Paytm spokesperson said: 'We have introduced personalised UPI IDs to offer more choice and privacy in payments. We heard the feedback from our customers who wanted to keep their mobile numbers private, and built this solution to address that need. We remain committed to developing thoughtful innovations that make payments safer and more convenient for all.'

Pakistan hikes defense budget 20% following conflict with India, but overall spending is cut
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan Tuesday hiked defense spending by 20% following last month's deadly conflict with India. The government of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced the increase as part of the budget for the fiscal year 2025-26, in which overall spending will be cut by 7% to 17.57 trillion rupees ($62 billion). Pakistan and India were pushed to the brink of war earlier this year after a gun massacre of tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir, marking the biggest breakdown in relations between them since 2019. Weeks of tension followed, culminating in missile and drone strikes that resulted in dozens of fatalities on both sides of the border. Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb said the government was allocating 2.55 trillion rupees ($9 billion) for defense compared with 2.12 trillion rupees in the previous budget. India in February increased its defense spending by 9.5%. Sharif told the Cabinet: 'All economic indicators are satisfactory. After defeating India in a conventional war, now we have to go beyond it in the economic field as well.' Opposition members of the National Assembly verbally abused Aurangzeb, chanting slogans, throwing scrunched-up copies of the budget at him, whistling, and banging their desks as he gave his address. The coming year's defense allocation is considerably more than the government's expenditure on higher education, agricultural development, and mitigating climate-related risks, to which Pakistan is especially prone.
