Indian curry born in cafeteria spicing up Suzuki Motor's business
TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Suzuki Motor Corp., the longtime top carmaker in the Indian market, has launched sales of boil-in-the-bag curry, initially developed for Indian employees in Japan who longed for the taste of home. The Japanese automaker began selling four different varieties of Indian curry online on June 25 -- daikon radish sambar, tomato lentil, chickpea masala and moong dal green -- for 918 yen ($6) each, after months of tasting tests. The dishes were added to the menu at the head office's cafeteria with other Indian curries in January 2024 for vegetarian employees from India. The number of Indian employees, both short- and long-term, at its headquarters in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, has been steadily growing, the company said. Suzuki offered Japanese-style curry at the cafeteria but not Indian vegetarian curry until the new menu was introduced. The maker of motorcycles and small cars asked Torizen Co., a local bridal and restaurant business, to cooperate in developing the boil-in-the-bag versions of the four flavors. The packaging was designed by the company's vehicle designers based on its Swift hatchbacks and Jimny compact SUVs, known as the Samurai in some markets, and the Hayabusa and V-Strom1050DE motorcycle models.

India proposes retaliatory duties at WTO against US tariffs on autos
India did not specify the tariff rate or which autos it would levy duties on. © Reuters NEW DELHI (Reuters) -- New Delhi has proposed retaliatory duties against the U.S. at the World Trade Organization, saying Washington's 25% tariff on automobiles and some auto parts would affect $2.89 billion of India's exports, according to an official notification. "India reserves the right to suspend concessions or other obligations ... that are substantially equivalent to the adverse effects of the measure to India's trade," the statement said. According to the notification, the duty collected by the U.S. would amount to $725 million and New Delhi will impose an "equivalent amount of duty collected from products originating in the United States". India did not specify the tariff rate or which goods it would levy duties on. India is trying to clinch a trade war with Washington before a July 9 deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump, after which he has threatened to impose a 26% tariff on all imported Indian goods. India has signaled it is ready to slash its high tariff rates for the U.S. but has not conceded on Washington's demands for opening up the agriculture and dairy sectors.
