Apple: If media reports are to be believed, every year 1 lakh 29 thousand 882 metric tons of apples come to India from Turkey alone.

Boycott Turkey Impact: One move by India destroys this Turkish company; suffers Rs 17000000000 loss in just 24 hours; company is...
Turkey had backed Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, in which India carried out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoJK in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. Soon, the Boycott Turkey movement in India started growing, thereby leading to a sharp decline in the sale of Turkish goods, causing its nation to face economic setbacks. Moreover, the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) has urged all Indian universities to cancel academic collaborations with institutions in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Turkey in the wake of the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians. According to an ANI report, in a letter dated May 15, the AIU asked vice-chancellors across India to terminate all Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) with institutions in these three countries. The AIU cited the support extended by Bangladesh and Turkey to Pakistan as the basis for the move. Turkish companies operating in India are also facing the heat due to the Boycott Turkey trend. One such example is Çelebi Aviation, a Turkish ground-handling service provider. Recently, the Indian government revoked Çelebi Aviation's security clearance with immediate effect. According to the news agency PTI report, on May 19, the Centre said the decision to revoke clearance was taken in the interest of national security in light of certain inputs that continuing the services of the petitioner companies would be hazardous in the current scenario. Celebi, operating in the Indian aviation sector for over 15 years and employing over 10,000 people, offers its services at nine airports. The impact was swift and severe: within just two days, the company's valuation dropped by nearly one-third. As per AajTak report, the move has also put the jobs of around 3,800 employees at risk, raising concerns over possible large-scale layoffs. Bureau of Civil Aviation Safety (BCAS) on May 15 revoked the security clearance, days after Turkey backed Pakistan and condemned India's strikes on terror camps in the neighbouring country. BCAS, in its order, said, '… the security clearance in r/o Celebi Airport Services India Pvt Ltd is hereby revoked with immediate effect in the interest of national security.' The security clearance to the company, part of Turkey's Celebi, was given in November 2022. Before this boycott, leading travel companies like EaseMyTrip, MakeMyTrip, and Ixigo issued advisories recommending travelers to avoid visiting Turkey and Azerbaijan. Following the Indian government's decision, Çelebi Aviation faced a sharp financial setback, losing nearly $200 million (approx. Rs 1,700 crore) in just one day. On May 16, the company's shares on the Istanbul Stock Exchange fell by 20%, sliding 222 points to close at 2,002 liras. This decline reduced the company's market capitalization by 4.8 billion liras (around Rs 10,700 crores), marking a 30% drop from its 52-week high.

India boycotts Turkey: Jamia Millia Islamia, MakeMyTrip, Udaipur traders cancel ties over pro-Pakistan stance; here's what we know
Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi announced on social media that it has suspended all Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with any Turkish government-affiliated institutions. The move, effective immediately, was attributed to 'national security considerations.' The university said it 'stands firmly with the Nation' and did not specify when or if the MoUs would be restored. Moreover, the Indian government has also canceled the security clearance of Turkish ground handling company, Celebi Airport Services India Pvt. Ltd. Travel industry sees rising cancellations to Turkey and Azerbaijan The sentiment against Turkey and Azerbaijan is also visible in India's travel sector. Travel portal MakeMyTrip reported that bookings to Turkey and Azerbaijan have dropped by 60%, while cancellations increased by 250%. While the platform continues to offer bookings to these countries, it issued a statement supporting national sentiment and discouraging non-essential travel to both destinations. EaseMyTrip, another major travel portal, had issued a similar advisory on May 9. Founder Nishant Pitti had publicly urged travellers to avoid Turkey and Azerbaijan due to their support for Pakistan. The company has not suspended existing bookings but reported a 22% cancellation rate for Turkey and over 30% for Azerbaijan. Turkey and Azerbaijan remain major destinations for Indian tourists—Turkey received 3.3 lakh Indian visitors in 2024, while Azerbaijan welcomed over 2.4 lakh. Despite this, the boycott has led to reduced bookings and increased awareness across social media, where hashtags like #BoycottTurkey and #BoycottAzerbaijan have been trending since May 11. Traders halt Turkish imports, push for sanctions The campaign has also reached trade associations in India. In Udaipur, the marble processors association has stopped importing marble from Turkey, which accounts for 70% of India's marble imports—valued at around Rs 2,500 to Rs 3,000 crore annually. Association president Kapil Surana said that all members agreed to the decision and have written to the Prime Minister urging formal sanctions. 'We fully support the historic decisions he has taken in the last few days,' Surana said, referring to India's response to the Pahalgam terror attack. General secretary Hitesh Patel added that national interest must come before business. In Pune, traders have also joined the call by boycotting Turkish apples, contributing to the broader boycott movement that has gained support from political parties like Shiv Sena. The party had earlier called for an end to IndiGo's codeshare with Turkish Airlines and urged citizens to stop flying with the airline altogether. Public and private sectors echo boycott calls From academic institutions like Jamia Millia to private companies and local trader groups, the response to Turkey and Azerbaijan's stance on Pakistan has triggered a coordinated backlash across India. As the political tension continues, calls for boycotts are being echoed both online and offline, with institutions taking visible steps in response to public sentiment.
