‘Do As We Say, Not As We Do'? EU Lectures India Over Russian Oil, But Trade Numbers Reveal A Story It Won't Say Out Loud
New Delhi: Europe's top leaders speak in strong voices against Russia, but behind closed doors and shipping docks, the numbers tell another story. In 2024, the European Union's total trade with Moscow reached $70.3 billion. It was nearly equal to India's $72 billion, despite the EU leading global calls for Russia's economic isolation. For months, India has faced pressure from Western capitals. It has been cast as one of Moscow's key post-war trade partners. But the EU's own engagement with Russia runs deep. It covers not only fuel, but chemicals, metals, food and machinery. India's trade with Russia last year leaned heavily on energy. Fuel shipments alone reached $59.5 billion, making up over 80% of its total trade volume. Meanwhile, Europe has reduced its oil imports (only $24.2 billion in 2024) but maintains high-volume transactions across other sectors. Chemical trade between the EU and Russia stood at $17.6 billion. It is over six times India's $3.1 billion. In metals, the EU clocked $6.7 billion, far exceeding India's $0.9 billion. The bloc also recorded $5 billion in food imports and $4.4 billion in machinery and electronics from Russia. Imports tell only half the story. The EU exported $34 billion worth of goods to Russia in 2024. That was over seven times India's $4.9 billion exports. Europe sent $14.6 billion in chemicals, $5 billion in food and $3.7 billion in machinery and electronics. The patterns are tangled even among critics across the Atlantic. The United States imported $3.8 billion worth of Russian goods in 2024, more than half of which was fertiliser and chemicals. From Ukraine, the country it supports militarily and diplomatically, the United States imported only $1.23 billion in goods. It was less than India's $1.48 billion from the war-torn country. Ukraine paid $1.69 billion for US exports, raising questions about balance and benefit in a time of conflict. US President Donald Trump has renewed his attack on India over its energy imports from Russia. 'India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. While global speeches focus on isolation, trade flows reveal a more complicated map. Between policy podiums and port-side manifests, Moscow's trade routes remain far from silent.

India mulls new pilot training system as air traffic booms
NEW DELHI: India is considering revamping pilot training by gradually moving away from the current system, where a student has to first earn a commercial pilot licence (CPL) and then do type rating separately for a specific aircraft, to a unified "multi-crew pilot licence" (MPL) system. Directorate General of Civil Aviation will hold a meeting with stakeholders on the issue on Wednesday. If approved, both systems will co-exist, and operators will have the flexibility to choose what best meets their requirements of safety and operational efficiency. This is the second big change India is contemplating in this field, after proposing to make students who from Class 12 arts and commerce streams eligible to pursue CPL - a field reserved for science students with physics and maths in 12th since mid-1990s. As the fastest growing aviation market globally, govt is clearly keen to take steps to meet Indian carriers' requirement for pilots in coming years. At the moment, cadet pilots have to first do CPL that involves, among other things, flying training aircraft for 200 hours. They then need to do simulator-based type rating for specific aircraft like Airbus A320 or Boeing 737. MPL will require them to fly a small training plane for about 70 hours. Then they will do simulator training for 140 to 160 hours. Subsequently, airlines will induct them as trainees on that type of aircraft. Approved by International Civil Aviation Organisation, MPL has been adopted by over 50 airlines globally, like Lufthansa, Etihad, flyDubai and Singapore Airlines. "We will evaluate both the systems and take a considered view on what is best in terms of ensuring high training standards and meeting airline requirements. MPL was considered by us in the past too. There has again been a request to consider the same and that is being done," said senior govt officials. If approved, MPL will be introduced gradually over 2-3 years and CPL will continue to exist for non-airline students. An integrated programme, MPL "lays emphasis on developing key competencies that are essential to safely operate modern commercial aircraft. It can be tailored to specific aircraft type and the operational philosophy of airlines which will ensure a steady stream of pilots", said a senior pilot. "MPL should have been adopted several years ago to meet India's growing aviation needs... MPL aligns better with modern airline operational realities than the current CPL system which is outdated for a fast-developing aviation sector. India needs 2,000-plus new pilots annually over the next decade," said another captain. Opposing MPL, a senior captain said: "Our regulatory system lacks necessary robustness to adequately oversee and enforce MPL program standards consistently."

Rivian earnings shock triggers stock plunge—Q2 miss and $2.25B loss spark 4% drop as EV credit cut, Trump tariffs fuel panic sell-off
Rivian (NASDAQ: RIVN) reported a sharp Q2 2025 earnings miss on Tuesday, sending its stock down over 4% in after-hours trading. The electric vehicle maker posted a larger-than-expected net loss of $1.1 billion, or $0.80 per share, falling short of analyst expectations. Revenue came in at $1.30 billion, slightly above forecasts, but vehicle deliveries dropped to 10,661 units, down 23% year-over-year. Rivian also widened its 2025 full-year loss projection to $2.25 billion, citing rising production costs, the loss of EV tax credits, and new Trump-era tariffs. The market reacted swiftly, triggering a wave of investor sell-offs. Rivian stock drops as Q2 earnings miss expectations and 2025 loss forecast widens amid EV tax credit blow and tariffs: The electric truck maker reported mixed Q2 2025 earnings, delivered fewer vehicles than expected, and projected a much deeper full-year loss. The company is now facing the heat from Donald Trump's new EV tax credit restrictions, rising tariffs, and reduced regulatory credit income. Despite steady progress on its highly anticipated R2 SUV, Rivian stock took a hit after the update, trading around $12.15, down over 4% in after-hours. Rivian's Q2 numbers reflected a sharp slowdown in both production and deliveries as it paused operations to prep for refreshed models. The company delivered 10,661 vehicles in the second quarter, down nearly 23% year-over-year, while producing only 5,979 units—well below market expectations. Revenue came in at around $1.30 billion, which was just slightly ahead of analyst forecasts but didn't offset the other disappointments. The biggest shock came in the form of Rivian's adjusted loss of $0.80 per share, significantly wider than Wall Street's expected $0.65–$0.66 loss. In total, Rivian posted a net loss of $1.1 billion, which was still an improvement from the $1.5 billion loss it reported in Q2 2024, but investors weren't impressed. One of the key pain points for Rivian right now is the impact of Trump's recent EV tax credit overhaul, which closed off the leasing loophole that previously allowed Rivian buyers to indirectly qualify for the $7,500 federal EV credit. That credit had become a critical tool for boosting Rivian's revenue through leasing channels. Adding to the pressure, tariffs on Chinese components and raw materials have raised production costs—especially for battery and motor components that depend on rare earth elements. These policy changes have created 'significant uncertainty,' the company noted, and are eating into margins. As a result, Rivian has revised its 2025 loss forecast upward to between $2.0 billion and $2.25 billion, from the earlier range of $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion. While short-term headwinds dominate the headlines, Rivian is betting big on the future. The company reaffirmed that development of its new R2 electric SUV is moving ahead as planned. The mid-size SUV is expected to start production in the first half of 2026, with a targeted starting price of $45,000. To reduce costs and improve profitability, Rivian is leaning on its strategic partnership with Volkswagen, which aims to bring down the R2's bill of materials to around $32,000 per vehicle—a significant margin improvement. Rivian believes this mass-market EV could be the turning point it needs, especially if it can deliver strong range, quality, and pricing at scale. Even with declining Q2 numbers, Rivian is sticking to its full-year 2025 delivery forecast of 40,000 to 46,000 vehicles. The company expects a bump in Q3 as buyers rush to purchase before the remaining tax incentives disappear at the end of September. Still, it's a race against time—and uncertainty looms. The loss of the leasing workaround for tax credits, combined with rising costs from tariffs and component shortages, could put further pressure on deliveries. Following the mixed results and updated guidance, Rivian stock (NASDAQ: RIVN) fell over 4% in after-hours trading. As of the latest data, the stock is priced around $12.15, down from an open of $12.48, with a trading range between $11.05 and $12.57 for the day. Investor sentiment remains cautious. While analysts acknowledge Rivian's long-term potential, many maintain 'Hold' ratings, citing execution risks and policy challenges. Price targets are hovering in the $12 to $15 range for now. Despite near-term volatility, Rivian still holds promise as a key player in the EV space. The upcoming R2 launch, the Volkswagen collaboration, and a potential rebound in U.S. EV demand could help turn the tide—but not without risks. With ongoing macro headwinds, policy changes, and competitive pressure from Tesla and legacy automakers, Rivian has a steep hill to climb. But if it can deliver on its cost-cutting roadmap and scale R2 production efficiently, there's still room for upside. Metric Q2 2025 Data Vehicle Deliveries 10,661 units (‑23% YoY) Production 5,979 units Revenue ~$1.30 billion Adjusted EPS Loss ‑$0.80 per share Net Loss $1.1 billion 2025 Loss Forecast $2.0–$2.25 billion (revised upward) Stock Price (Post-Earnings) ~$12.15 (-4% after-hours) R2 SUV Launch H1 2026, starting at $45,000 Rivian's latest earnings show a company caught between a bold vision and brutal realities. With earnings falling short, production slowing, and policy winds shifting, the road ahead won't be easy. But with the R2 SUV on the horizon and a clear plan to cut costs, Rivian's long game may still be intact. If you're tracking EV stocks in 2025, Rivian remains one of the most watched tickers on Wall Street—but it's now a test of time, execution, and whether it can survive the short-term storm to reach long-term scale. FAQs: Q1: Why did Rivian stock drop after Q2 2025 earnings? Rivian stock fell due to weak Q2 earnings, wider loss forecasts, and pressure from EV tax credit cuts and tariffs. Q2: What's impacting Rivian's future outlook in 2025? Rivian's outlook is hurt by rising costs, Trump's tariffs, and the end of key EV tax credits.
