Billion Dollar Moves: TCS, Trump's Gold Card, and India's Trade Shuffle

Good Morning, I'm Nelson John.. In this episode, we unpack five major developments reshaping India's economic and trade landscape. We start with the government's exploration of higher ethanol blends beyond E20, including E23 and E27, and why the auto industry is pushing for flex-fuel vehicles instead. Then we examine the US-India trade negotiations happening under the shadow of a Supreme Court case that could invalidate Trump's tariffs entirely. We break down TCS's $700 million acquisition of Coastal Cloud and what it signals about the future of India's largest IT services company. Next, we look at the Trump Gold Card visa programme that's now accepting applications, offering US residency for $1 million. Finally, we analyse how India's export diversification strategy is paying off despite steep US tariffs, with China, Spain, and Russia emerging as growing markets. Learn more about your ad choices.
