[🇮🇳] Indian Economy watch- All new developments.

In rogue nations like BD and Pakistan, those who murders on the name of their beliefs are not punished by court.

Please don't talk out of your hat.

Rule of law is far more stringent in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Moreover, citizens in these two nations don't have the selfish "I don't give a $hit"- ism people have in India.

If even a poor vegetable seller is being harassed by a goonda, bystanders will take action. They will definitely chase down a purse snatcher or thief and mete out justice. Happens everyday.

Madrasa students and student revolutionaries all around Bangladesh were guarding Hindu temples from Awami goondas vandalizing them, its all in the news.

Your Godi media BS propaganda and bad-mouthing of Bangladesh has no basis, it has all been bunked in fact-checks. Your BJP leaders are just mad "Faida uthana" (exploitation) from Bangladesh by India has now stopped and a 3rd front against India has now opened up.

You don't live in Bangladesh or Pakistan, so you will have no idea.

Apple is expected to increasingly lean on India to soften the blow of rising tariffs under the Trump administration’s reciprocal trade policy.

Speaking to CNBC after the company’s During the company’s Q2 FY25 quarterly results, CEO Tim Cook confirmed that India will be the country of origin for a majority of iPhones sold -- in the June quarter -- in the US, as Apple reroutes its supply chain away from China.


But beyond June, it's not clear how the situation will evolve. “It’s very difficult to predict beyond June,” Cook said, indicating that the tariff situation remains fluid.

“We do expect the majority of iPhones sold in the US will have India as their country of origin,” said Cook. Vietnam, meanwhile, will handle most production for iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, and AirPods heading to the U.S. — countries currently facing a 10% tariff, compared to a steep 145% tariff on Chinese imports.

For now, Apple has stockpiled inventory and baked the risk into its financials. The company has budgeted around $900 million in extra costs for the current quarter, citing tariffs as a key reason. This figure surprised some analysts who expected the hit to be even higher.

AppleCare services and accessories sourced from China will still face the full 145% tariff, a cost Apple appears willing to absorb for now. As for consumers, there’s “no obvious evidence” of early buying behaviour to beat future price hikes.


Apple posted $95.4 billion in revenue for the quarter ending March — up from $90.75 billion a year ago.

As Apple shifts its manufacturing geography, India continues to cement its position as a key global hub — not just for local sales, but as a crucial node in Apple’s global supply chain.

Tim Cook is only reassuring Indians until China Tariffs go away. And go away they WILL. Just a bullying tactic by current US administration. Tim is simply keeping his options open.

India has no capability/expertise to make any Apple subcomponent except screw Chinese subcomponents together, which is even worse situation than Bangladesh. At least we make our own cellphone motherboards in the country for our own designed/branded cellphones.

What important investment has Apple made (or its Taiwanese suppliers made) in India in backward integration (making cellphone subcomponents)? Zero, Zilch, Nada.

Foxconn canceled all India operations and left. They saw the face of these "Red Tape Baboos" and threw in the towel before leaving.

India is the graveyard for Foreign FDI and all investors know it too well by now. @Jiangnan, your thoughts brother...

Your bluff is already proved wrong with 1.5 lakh crore of I phone export. I think Tim Cook knows about apple more than you do.

Madrasa students were guarding temples from Whom? You didn't specify who wanted to demolish it which needed guarding?

Which operations were cancelled by Foxconn when it has no plant in India?

THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT ROBBED XIAOMI AND VIVO. And when it tried to rob BYD, BYD decisively withdrew.

The advice of the Chinese company is: Don't try to invest in India.

It seems that Chinese companies do not listen to your advice. BYD is coming to India in a big way in partnership with Indian company.

Please do not represent BYD. thank you. BYD exports products to India but does not invest.
