India-EU FTA to propel exports to Germany beyond $50 billion by 2030
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 23 (IANS) Indias exports of goods and services to Germany could exceed $50 billion by 2030 through greater utilisation of the India-EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and deeper economic cooperation, according to a report released by Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal. According to a report of the industry chamber ASSOCHAM -- that was released by the minister in Berlin during his Germany visit -- noted that the India-EU FTA is expected to give bilateral trade fresh momentum. With the EU set to offer zero-duty access to a significant share of Indian exports, sectors such as textiles, apparel, leather, footwear, gems and jewellery, marine products, engineering goods, pharmaceuticals and electronics could benefit, it added. ASSOCHAM President Nirmal K. Minda said that India and Germany can leverage their respective strengths in manufacturing, technology and innovation to deepen economic cooperation and unlock new growth opportunities. Deeper industry engagement can create new opportunities for businesses, particularly MSMEs, and strengthen long-term economic ties, he added. According to the industry chamber, Germanys strong industrial sector and Indias growing manufacturing and services sectors offer new opportunities for cooperation in advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, digital technology, critical minerals and defence. Germanys Green and Sustainable Development Partnership, alongside cooperation in renewable energy, green hydrogen, electric mobility and battery storage, can support investment, technology exchange and sustainable industrial development, said Saurabh Sanyal, Secretary General, ASSOCHAM. Stronger business-to-business engagement, sectoral interactions and buyerseller meetings can help translate the growing partnership into tangible commercial outcomes and wider participation by Indian industry, he added. SP Sharma of ASSOCHAM noted that India has tremendous potential for export growth with greater utilisation of the India-EU FTA and exports can even reach $60 billion (54 billion euro) by 2030. Greater cooperation in trade, investment and technology can provide a sustained boost to bilateral economic relations, Sharma said. ASSOCHAM said it will continue to facilitate industry engagement and knowledge-sharing to help Indian businesses explore opportunities in Germany and strengthen the IndiaGermany strategic economic partnership.

Amitabh Bachchans bungalow, Diljit Dosanjh mentioned in bomb threat email; Mumbai Police probe on
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 23 (IANS) Mumbai Police received information on Friday about a threatening email that allegedly named veteran actor Amitabh Bachchans residence and also mentioned singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh. The police have launched an investigation into the matter, while further details are awaited. The message was reportedly sent to a school in the citys Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) area, following which the police began an investigation. The letter also mentioned Diljit Dosanjh, suggesting that he, too, had been threatened, although the threat was not directed at him explicitly. The threatening letter reportedly mentioned Amitabh Bachchan and Diljit Dosanjh, making specific claims about alleged attacks on them. It referred to Bachchans Mumbai residence, Jalsa, and named October 31 and November 27 as dates for the alleged attacks. It also mentioned Dosanjh in connection with a purported bomb attack at Mumbais Mahalaxmi Racecourse on November 27. The letter carried pro-Khalistan slogans and attributed the threats to a group calling itself the Khalistan National Army. The authenticity of the letter and the claims made in it have not been independently verified. The threatening message reportedly named different locations and times, warning of a possible attack on the Mayors office at 3 p.m. and schools at 1 p.m. A police officer also noted that Diljit Dosanjh was scheduled to perform at Mumbais Mahalaxmi Racecourse on November 27 as part of his India tour. The officer further said that Delhi Police had earlier withheld approval for Dosanjhs Delhi concert over security concerns. Meanwhile, recently, Delhi Police had temporarily withheld permission for Diljit Dosanjhs October 30 concert in the national capital, citing security concerns.

India offers Central Asian nations high-value partnership, sustainable development model
Digital Desk | Naypyidaw, Oct 23 (IANS) Central Asias expanding engagement with India is poised to create a collaborative growth framework rooted in historical ties and respect for national sovereignty, a report has stated. India offers the Central Asian Republics (CARs) a high-value economic partnership focused on sustainable development, technology transfer and trade diversification, unlike Chinas resource-extractive approach, which views the region largely as a supplier of raw materials and a market for cheap manufactured goods, a report in Myanmar's media outlet 'Mizzima News' highlighted. By supplying world-class pharmaceuticals, technical expertise and digital infrastructure, including digital payment systems, alongside connectivity initiatives such as the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) and Chabahar Port, India can help bridge critical developmental gaps and improve Central Asian economies, gaining greater access to global markets, the report mentioned. The post-Moscow era, it stated, has seen Central Asian nations broaden their strategic partnerships with China and India amid Russias reduced influence in the region. China has been a seasoned regional player as an infrastructure supplier, leveraging infrastructural initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) for strategic ties, along with investments in transport, regional energy reserves, and digital infrastructure. On the other hand, Indias engagement has been driven by an issue-based development approach, often envisaged via the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) and the Chabahar Port, which are crucial to its Connect Central Asia policy, along with promoting thematic partnerships on rare earth metals and digital partnerships, it detailed. Given the growing involvement of the two emerging powers in the region, the report said, CARs have several compelling reasons to favour New Delhi in trade and commerce while pursuing a multi-vector diplomatic approach. First, the geostrategic and security concerns with respect to Chinas BRI have made the region especially fertile for Indian engagement. Post-2015, India has viewed CAR as a single geographical unit for facilitating cooperation. Since then, multiple deals have been signed between India and CARs on a variety of issues, including security, energy, trade, and culture. As mentioned earlier, this rejuvenation of ties is also determined by the historicity of traditional and socioeconomic ties between the two, the report in 'Mizzima News' mentioned. Second, there exists anti-China sentiment and deep scepticism amongst the CARs for a variety of reasons. Central Asians are sceptical of Chinese investments, as these investments are considered risky and a threat to sovereignty. Besides, the Chinese treatment of ethnic minorities like the Uyghurs, Kazakhs and Kyrgyz has fuelled public angst. Chinese tendencies are often seen as expansionist, based on historical experiences. This is where the narrative of deep, friendly historical ties with India, and its influence as a soft cultural power, pitches in, it added. The report noted that Indias trade framework for the CARs prioritises sustainable infrastructure, concessional financing and transparency, helping address concerns about debt-trap diplomacy. Against this backdrop, it said, closer economic ties with India could enable the Central Asian nations to strengthen their economic resilience while retaining sovereign autonomy and ensuring that development is guided by mutual respect.

Badr Pact: Pakistans Defence Push with Turkey, Qatar & Indonesia Raises BrahMos Question for India
Pakistan, Turkey, Qatar and Indonesia have signed the Badr Memorandum of Understanding, opening a new framework for defence manufacturing, research, technical training and technology cooperation.But is this a new military alliance, and what could it mean for India?In this video, we explain what the Badr agreement actually covers, how the four countries could combine their defence-industry strengths, and why Pakistans potential access to new technology matters for New Delhi.We also examine Indonesias participation in the pact following its reported $630 million missile agreements with India involving BrahMos and Astra, and whether this creates a genuine risk to sensitive Indian defence technology.Badr does not itself establish a mutual-defence commitment, and Indonesias participation is not proof of an impending technology leak. The bigger question is whether the agreement develops into concrete defence projects and production capabilities.Watch till the end for what India should monitor as this partnership evolves.#BadrPact #Pakistan #India #DefenceNews #BrahMos #Indonesia #Geopolitics #TOI

Pakistans pharma exports plunge over 30 pc as Afghan border closure hits trade
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 23 (IANS) Pakistans pharmaceutical exports have been witnessing a steady decline in recent times, with the industry attributing the fall to trade disruptions with Afghanistan following the closure of its border for over a year now, say reports from Islamabad and Kabul. Pakistans pharmaceutical exports fell 30.26 per cent in FY26 and declined a further 25.53 per cent in value during the first quarter of FY27, as industry representatives linked the downturn largely to the disruption of trade with Afghanistan, according to a report in Pakistans The News on Thursday. Kabul has been one of the countrys biggest markets for medicines, it added. Quoting Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) data, the report put exports of pharmaceutical products at USD 319.012 million in FY26, down from USD 457.456 million in FY25. The reduction was thus USD 138.444 million. Export volumes also fell 26.14 per cent, from 112,517 metric tonnes to 83,104 tonnes, a decrease of 29,413 tonnes. The decline continued in July-September FY27; export earnings fell to USD 73.301 million from USD 98.428 million in the same quarter of FY26, a decrease of USD 25.127 million, or 25.53 per cent, the report added. Exports of surgical goods and medical instruments were not included in the figures, it said. Several other publications, like the Business Reporter, also cited Afghanistan being Pakistan's dominant pharmaceutical export market, where destination-wise figures were quoted as showing exports of USD 155.68 million to Afghanistan in FY25, equal to about 34.1 per cent of Pakistans USD 457.456 million in pharmaceutical exports that year. Former chairperson of Pakistan Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (PPMA) Tauqeer ul Haq told The News that suspension of trade with Afghanistan has caused major losses for the pharmaceutical industry and the national exchequer. Afghan patients have also been affected, as they are being pushed towards more expensive medicines, he added. The PPMA has reportedly raised the issue with the government and that Federal Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal has promised to take it up with the relevant authorities and explore ways to resume Pakistani medicine exports, the report quoted Tauqeer ul Haq, who deplored what he described as a lack of follow-up. Tensions between the neighbours have deep historical origins, primarily from disputes over the Durand Line that the then British rulers drew to define pre-1947 Indias border with Afghanistan. Relations deteriorated after the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan in 2021, with Pakistan repeatedly accusing Kabul of harbouring militants who carry out attacks across the border, particularly the TTP and ISISK. Afghanistan insists that it does not shelter such elements and blames Pakistan for holding it responsible for internal problems. The Pak-Afghan border has remained closed since October 2025 following cross-border violence causing significant economic losses, with increased prices of goods, restricted medical travel, and adversely affected livelihoods on both sides of the border. It also strained diplomatic relations and encouraged businesses to seek alternative regional trade routes. For years, Afghanistans medical supply chain was heavily dependent on Pakistan, where Kabul remained vulnerable to political tensions and repeated disruptions. Lately, the country has turned towards alternative partners, demonstrating both resilience and a strategic shift in regional economic policy, added reports from Kabul.
Taskin back as Bangladesh name squad for first West Indies Test
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 23 (IANS) Taskin Ahmed has made his return as Bangladesh named their squad for the first of the two Test matches against the West Indies at home. Taskin was rested for Bangladesh's previous Test against Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi, which was a heroic draw for Afghanistan. Taskin, who had wished Hasan Mahmud for his hat-trick in the Afghanistan Test, is now back in the squad in place of Khaled Ahmed for the Test that will begin on October 28 in Mirpur. White-ball captain Litton Das, who missed the ODI tri-series in the UAE due to a hip injury, has also been included, while Soumya Sarkar has been dropped from the 15-member team after he warmed the benches against Australia and Afghanistan. His last Test came more than five years back in February 2021. Meanwhile, Mehidy Hasan Miraz has also been included after he played in one of the two tri-series games due to a viral fever. Najmul Hossain Shanto's squad features three specialist spinners and as many fast bowlers. Mehidy, Taijul Islam and Nayeem Hasan will shoulder the spin duties, as it remains interesting to see what surface will be dished out for the opener. Shoriful Islam, Ebadot Hossain, Hasan and Taskin are the pacers, while Nahid Rana is absent as he is on the mend from a side strain. The two Tests will be crucial for Bangladesh in their push for the World Test Championship 2027 final. They are currently in fourth place with three wins from six matches, a draw and two losses. Their PCT currently reads 55.56%, and they sit below South Africa, who recently won the second Test against Australia and have a PCT of 66.67%. Bangladesh squad for the first Test against the West Indies: Najmul Hossain Shanto (capt), Taskin Ahmed, Jaker Ali, Litton Das (wk), Mominul Haque, Tanzid Hasan, Ebadot Hossain, Tawhid Hridoy, Shadman Islam, Shoriful Islam, Taijul Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mushfiqur Rahim, Nayeem Hasan

Grace Harris Could Be Costliest Buy At WPL Auction If UP Warriorz Go For Her: Aakash Chopra
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Australias big-hitting batting all-rounder Grace Harris could walk away as the most expensive player at the WPL 2027 auction, with cash-rich UP Warriorz well placed to make a big play for her, said former India mens batter Aakash Chopra. All five franchises will look to fill the remaining slots in their squads at the auction starting at 5:30pm in Kochi on October 28, with Indian wicketkeeper-batters and overseas all-rounders expected to be the most sought-after. Teams can have a maximum of 18 players in their squad, including six from overseas. In all, 27 slots will be filled on the auction day, including seven overseas spots. Grace was a member of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) team winning WPL 2026, where she made 237 runs in nine innings. I think Grace Harris would be the most expensive player at this smaller auction. Of course, in a small auction, the player availability is limited. Demand also won't be very high because most teams have held on to their main players. But I still feel that the kind of batter she is and contributes with the ball as well, she could be in demand. Who has the biggest purse? It is UP Warriorz once again. So, if the UP Warriorz are keen, I feel she could be the most expensive player at this auction, said Chopra to JioStar. Chopra also tipped Mumbai Indians to chase Indias off-spin bowling all-rounder Sneh Rana, who was released by Delhi Capitals, citing a gap in the home-grown spin bowling options of the two-time champions. I am thinking Mumbai Indians could go for her because they lack Indian spinners. If you look at their track record, there has been a lot of focus on Hayley Matthews and Amelia Kerr in the spin department. One year, we saw Saika Ishaque do a very good job, but she is no longer part of the team. Chopra also tipped Mumbai Indians to chase Indias off-spin bowling all-rounder Sneh Rana, who was released by Delhi Capitals, citing a gap in the home-grown spin bowling options of the two-time champions.

Kumaraswamy accuses K'taka govt of taking 'sting Op' lightly, warns against helping accused get bail
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 23 (IANS) Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy on Friday accused Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar of taking the alleged sting operation involving former CM and Congress Working Committee (CWC) member Siddaramaiah lightly, alleging that the police had issued summons to a key person in the case merely as a formality. Addressing a press conference at the Janata Dal (Secular) headquarters, JP Bhavan, in Bengaluru, Kumaraswamy alleged that a media person was involved in the sting operation video intended to tarnish Siddaramaiah's image. He questioned the state government's handling of the investigation and warned that the JD(S) would not remain silent if the government helped the person concerned secure anticipatory bail. Kumaraswamy's remarks came amid reports that Shivakumar had met AICC General Secretary (Organisation) and Congress MP K.C. Venugopal during his visit to Delhi on Thursday. The Chief Minister had reportedly said that the JD(S) was politicising the sting operation controversy. Responding to the allegation, Kumaraswamy said Shivakumar had visited Delhi to meet Union Ministers and raise various issues concerning Karnataka in the state's interest. However, he alleged that the Chief Minister had also met Congress high command leaders in connection with the ongoing controversy. Kumaraswamy referred to Shivakumar's explanation that Home Minister Priyank Kharge had also visited Venugopal's residence and that their presence there was coincidental. The Union Minister questioned the circumstances of the meetings and accused the Chief Minister of downplaying the alleged involvement of the media person. The issue is not whether the JD(S) is using this matter politically. The question is whether the truth will come out and justice will be done, Kumaraswamy said. He alleged that the objective of the sting operation was to damage Siddaramaiah's public image and claimed that the person involved was being treated leniently because of his proximity to the Chief Minister. He further alleged that the media person had easy access to Shivakumar. According to the information I have, the person was staying at the Radisson Hotel in Mysuru the day before yesterday, and they brought him in. Yesterday, summons were issued to him merely as a formality, Kumaraswamy alleged. The Union Minister also raised questions about the investigation and referred to senior IPS officer Ajay Hilori, who is heading the probe. Kumaraswamy referred to Hilori's alleged connection with the IMA ponzi scheme case and questioned the circumstances surrounding the appointment of the same lawyer, who had fought his case earlier, by the person seeking anticipatory bail in the sting operation case. Kumaraswamy alleged that the sting operation controversy was aimed at tarnishing Siddaramaiah's image and said the government must ensure that the investigation proceeded fairly. He warned that the JD(S) would not remain silent if the government remained passive and facilitated the accused in obtaining bail. I am warning the government. If it remains silent and helps him secure bail in the anticipatory bail petition he has filed, we will not sit quietly, he said. Rejecting allegations that the sting operation was a JD(S) conspiracy, Kumaraswamy questioned the Congress leadership's response to the controversy and defended Siddaramaiah's political stature. Who else is there in the Congress party, apart from Siddaramaiah, who is such a tall leader? Siddaramaiah has been forced to sit at home, and now they claim that this is a JD(S) conspiracy. Who else can bring votes apart from Siddaramaiah? You were saved because of him, he alleged. Kumaraswamy also anticipated questions about why he was speaking in support of Siddaramaiah despite their political rivalry. You may ask why I am speaking in favour of Siddaramaiah. Yes, I have fought against him, he said, maintaining that the issue should not be dismissed as political manoeuvring and that the allegations required a serious investigation.
