Nov 07, 2025 News Image India’s exports rise after US tariffs.
India’s export diversification strategy is starting to pay off after the United States imposed a steep 50% tariff on Indian goods earlier this year.

After Washington raised tariffs first to 25% on Aug. 7 and then to 50% on Aug. 25, many Indian exporters began shifting their focus to alternative destinations.

Nov 07, 2025 News Image India's sugar output set to surge 18% in 2025-26, easing supply concerns.
The Indian Sugar and Bio-energy Manufacturers Association (ISMA) has projected a significant rebound in India's sugar production for the 2025-26 season (October-September), estimating an 18% increase in gross output to 349 lakh tonnes (34.9 million tonnes) before diversion for ethanol. This optimistic forecast follows an estimated production of 296.10 lakh tonnes in the current 2024-25 season and is primarily attributed to a more favorable monsoon and improved crop conditions, particularly in key growing states. Maharashtra is expected to see the most substantial jump, with production projected to rise to around 130 lakh tonnes, driven by increased acreage and better crop health. Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh are also expected to see higher output.
