[ad_1] As trade tensions between the US and China continue, global automakers are likely to seek alternative suppliers, potentially benefiting Indian auto component manufacturers, according to a report by Nomura, cited by news agency ANI. The report notes that rising tariffs on Chinese imports are expected to raise vehicle prices in the US, which may dampen short-term demand. However, this could prompt global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to diversify their supply chains. “Indian auto part suppliers may stand to gain as OEMs look for reliable alternatives,” the report claimed. While Indian manufacturers could benefit from this shift, the US continues to impose a 25 per cent tariff on Indian automobiles and auto components under President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariff regime. These duties affect a range of products including wire harnesses, seat components, tyres, fuel pumps, vehicle bodies, bumpers, and cockpit […]

The focus was heightened after a terror strike in Gangangir, Sonamarg last October, which left seven people dead.Despite a two-week-long search operation based on these inputs, no breakthroughs were made, and the mission was called off on the very day of the Pahalgam attack.Officials believe the terrorists may have aimed to disrupt the […]
