‘India Won't Sign If…'- CII President Warns On India-US Trade Deal, Says ‘Pact Must Be Fair'

Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) President Rajiv Memani emphasized that Indian industry supports a fair and balanced US-India trade deal but not at the cost of national interest. He warned that without a deal, a 26% tariff could hurt Indian exporters. Memani said industries are ready for any outcome and praised the Indian government's extensive consultations before talks. Stressing that India is under no compulsion to sign, he stated the deal must serve both nations. Indian industry, he said, will only support a Free Trade Agreement if it offers better terms than Trump-era tariffs and enhances India's global competitiveness.#usindiatrade #ciipresident #rajivmemani #fairdeal #fta #indiatradepolicy #exporttariff #bilateraltrade #makeinindia #toi #toibharat Read More

IndiGo charts bold Europe push: Amsterdam key to connect US, EU; CEO says carrier offers 'global twist' on India

IndiGo is stepping up its international game with CEO Pieter Elbers identifying Amsterdam as a critical hub to connect India with Europe and North America, as the airline launches direct flights to the Dutch capital and Manchester. 'This is more than just adding two destinations. It's a shift in product, partnerships and profile,' Elbers told PTI, calling the expansion into Europe a 'momentous occasion' and signalling a broader transformation for India's largest airline. IndiGo began flights from Mumbai to Manchester and Amsterdam on July 1 and 2, respectively. Elbers, speaking in Amsterdam a day after the inaugural arrival, said, 'The story now is by touching in Europe… the change is much more profound.' With a fleet of over 400 aircraft, IndiGo already connects 90+ Indian cities and 40 global destinations. The carrier plans to add 10 new overseas points by March 2026, including London, Copenhagen, and Athens, as part of its growing global ambitions. 'Amsterdam is a great airport for connectivity,' Elbers said, adding, 'It will certainly become an important point to connect from here to the rest of Europe and North America.' IndiGo is currently operating three weekly flights each to Manchester and Amsterdam using a damp-leased Boeing 787-9 from Norway's Norse Atlantic Airways. The airline plans to induct three more of these wide-body jets between October and November, with two additional aircraft expected in early 2026, PTI reported. IndiGo's international shift also includes the induction of long-range Airbus A321 XLRs, expected by late 2025 or early 2026. These aircraft will allow it to serve thinner, medium-haul routes directly from Indian cities. 'It (A321 XLR) will allow us to add new destinations such as Athens,' Elbers said. 'It will also allow us to do destinations from different points in India. Today, we fly to Nairobi from Mumbai. Perhaps in the future, given the huge Gujarati community in that part of Africa, we may operate out of Ahmedabad. I'm not saying we do, but we may.' As IndiGo prepares for long-haul services, Elbers said the airline is evolving internally to offer different cabin experiences tailored to route types, without losing the essence of its efficient, no-frills model. 'We are a fit-for-purpose airline,' he said. 'What we have now done is made groups of products depending on the routes we operate. So the product we have now on Manchester, we can also use the same for London or for Copenhagen.' The goal, Elbers said, is to deliver a unique blend: 'It should be sort of contemporary Indian or Indian with a global twist type of approach. That is what's the objective.' Elbers added that while Indian passengers should feel at home, non-Indian travellers should experience a culturally immersive introduction to India — beginning right from their flight.

India-US trade deal: Industries prepared for trade talks outcome, national interest in focus, says CII President

India-US trade deal: The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) President Rajiv Memani on Sunday emphasised that the Indian industries are prepared for any outcome which is proposed after the bilateral trade talks between the United States and India. Memani also said that industries will not pursue deals that are likely to compromise the national interest. The Indian government consulted industry stakeholders before entering trade negotiations with the United States. 'The Indian government has given considerable time to understand industry concerns, issues and opportunities. Every industry, every size of industry has been consulted to understand how India should be positioned,' reported news agency quoting CII President. He added that India is not compelled to conclude the trade deal with the US at any cost until the deal is in the interest of both nations. 'There is no doubt that India will only do this deal when it is in India's interest and America's interest. Until it is not in the interest of both countries, this deal will not happen. There is no compulsion in this regard,' Memani said. The CII President also pointed out that Indian industries will only support the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) if it offers them favourable terms compared to those of the other countries affected by the Trump tariffs. 'The 26% tariff that has been imposed will come down, and industry will get opportunities to operate there. We will remain more competitive compared to other countries,' said Memani. Acknowledging that certain sectors like automotive will face difficulties if the trade deal doesn't provide a suitable outcome, Rajiv Memani highlighted that automakers in Mexico would be the primary beneficiary with the nation's tariffs at a near 0% level, making them the 'most competitive.' 'The maximum alternative replacement will come from Mexico, with some possibility from Vietnam,' he said. Vietnam has a 20% tariff deal with the US, making it 'slightly less competitive' than Mexico compared to India's 26% tariff. The CII chief's assessment cited in the report suggests that the existing trade relationships can harm India's competitiveness. 'Many American companies may also invest in India to export from India. Indian companies will also have to focus on their competitiveness,' he told the news agency, suggesting that the government may need to implement reforms and support measures to help the domestic industries become more competitive in nature. CII President Rajiv Memani also highlighted that India needs an average nominal GDP growth rate of 10% annually to achieve the Viksit Bharat target by 2047. 'India would require an average about 10 per cent nominal growth to achieve the Viksit Bharat vision,' Memani told PTI. The nominal GDP of a nation is the total value of goods and services produced in the nation, determined by measuring the current market prices. This nominal GDP data is without adjusting the values for inflation, unlike real GDP data.
