India offers limited public procurement access to U.S. as part of trade talks
India is preparing to open a significant slice of its historically protected government procurement market to foreign participation, starting with the United States, in a calibrated shift tied to ongoing trade negotiations. The move signals a departure from decades of cautious procurement policy and could reshape how global firms access India’s vast public sector.
The change follows a similar offer extended to British firms under the recently concluded India-UK free trade agreement, and is expected to become a model for reciprocal access agreements with other strategic trade partners.

Investors abandon forecasts amid policy whiplash and geopolitical flux
Global financial markets have entered a phase of extreme unpredictability, with investors increasingly describing the environment as the most unstable since the COVID-19 shock of 2020. Driven by erratic U.S. trade policy, disrupted macroeconomic models, and whipsawing asset prices, long-term investment conviction has collapsed—forcing institutional money managers into risk-averse, neutral portfolios.
At the heart of investor anxiety is a deepening uncertainty around the durability of the 90-day U.S.-China tariff truce, coupled with concerns over America’s widening fiscal deficit and unanchored currency and bond markets. The volatility has left global markets swinging violently: world equities have surged nearly 20% off recent lows, only weeks after collapsing 15% in just three sessions following President Donald Trump’s unexpected April 2 tariff escalation.

India targets energy sovereignty with massive domestic oil tanker buildout
India is preparing to launch a landmark $10 billion initiative to build a fleet of 112 crude oil tankers by 2040, as part of a strategic push to secure its energy supply lines and reduce reliance on foreign shipping firms. The move signals New Delhi’s intent to strengthen its energy sovereignty while stimulating its nascent shipbuilding industry through targeted public investment.
The multi-decade plan will be phased, with 79 vessels to be procured in the first tranche, including 30 medium-range (MR) tankers that are essential for regional and intra-Asian oil trade. A purchase order for the first 10 ships is expected to be issued this month.
