China’s freight market is accelerating toward battery-powered heavy trucks as operators seek relief from elevated diesel prices and tighter cost pressures. The shift is being reinforced by policy support, improving charging infrastructure and a growing commercial case for electric haulage on shorter and regional routes.
India is preparing to extend tax refunds to exporters on levies paid for plant and machinery, a move aimed at lowering production costs and improving competitiveness in overseas markets. The measure is expected to ease a long-standing cost burden for export-oriented manufacturers, particularly in capital-intensive sectors where upfront tax outlays can be substantial.
Chartering a supertanker to move crude from the US Gulf Coast to China has become so expensive that the voyage can now cost more than launching a SpaceX rocket, underscoring how geopolitical risk is reshaping global energy logistics. Freight rates have surged to roughly $76 million for a single voyage, about 10 times pre-war levels, as traders pay up for scarce vessels and longer, riskier routes.
India has launched a subsidy investigation into imports of insoluble sulphur from China, examining whether Chinese producers and exporters benefited from government support that is causing material injury to domestic manufacturers. The probe adds a fresh trade-policy flashpoint to an already sensitive industrial relationship and could eventually lead to countervailing duties if subsidy-linked harm is established.
India is preparing to establish three major chemical parks under the Bhavya Rasayan scheme, a move designed to deepen domestic manufacturing capacity and create a more integrated ecosystem for the sector. The initiative is expected to support innovation, attract investment and strengthen India’s position in a global chemicals market that is being reshaped by supply-chain diversification and industrial policy shifts.
U.S. authorities have arrested a technology chief executive accused of orchestrating a scheme to smuggle roughly $300 million worth of Nvidia chips into China, intensifying a widening enforcement campaign around advanced semiconductor exports. The case underscores how Washington’s effort to restrict China’s access to cutting-edge AI hardware is increasingly being tested by transnational supply chains, shell entities and covert procurement networks.
China’s latest tariff adjustments have disappointed U.S. soybean producers and traders by excluding soybeans from the list of goods receiving relief.
