Bajaj Auto Ltd will strengthen strategically important 125cc plus domestic motorcycle portfolio, while 'turbo charging' its electric scooter Chetak in FY27, amid a volatile, uncertain and complex external environment, Chairman Niraj R Bajaj said. The company will also look to boost exports given the recovery across key international markets, whilst navigating the challenges and disruptions in global logistics, Bajaj said in the company's annual report for 2025-26. "As we look ahead to FY27, the external environment remains volatile, uncertain and complex. Geopolitical developments, commodity inflation, supply chain disruptions and shifts in global trade dynamics are creating challenges in the operating environment that are particularly pronounced as we start the new financial year," he said. "The opportunities before us across markets and segments remain very significant and offer substantial headroom for growth," Bajaj said. India continues to be one of the world's fastest growing

China has tightened scrutiny of indium exports, fuelling fears that the critical metal for AI-era optical chips could face formal curbs

The government should consider a host of measures, such as removing the import levy on unwrought aluminium, correcting the inverted duty structure, and imposing a 20 per cent export duty on the metal to boost domestic aluminium-based manufacturing, think tank GTRI said on Thursday. It said that India's tariff policies have created some major distortions in the aluminium value chain - encouraging metal exports, inflating raw material costs for manufacturers, and increasing dependence on imported finished products. Aluminium is one of the foundations of modern industrial economies. It is essential for power transmission, renewable energy, electric vehicles, railways, construction, packaging, aerospace, defence, and a wide range of consumer and engineering products. As India accelerates investments in infrastructure, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and electric mobility, the demand for aluminium and aluminium-based products is expected to grow rapidly, the Global Trade Research .

India's merchandise exports and imports recorded double-digit growth in April despite supply chain disruptions caused by the ongoing conflict in West Asia

China's exports rose 14.1% in April from a year earlier, the government said Saturday, despite the Iran war and lingering impacts from higher US tariffs. The data were released just days ahead of a planned meeting next week between US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing. That beat analysts' estimates and was a significant improvement from March's 2.5% year-on-year expansion. Imports climbed 25.3%, slower than the 27.8% growth in March but still robust. The Trump-Xi summit comes at a time when relations are beset by multiple issues, with efforts to end the war in Iran eclipsing the usual sources of friction. "We're expecting that overall external demand will remain a solid driver of growth this year," said Lynn Song, chief economist for Greater China at Dutch bank ING, likely led by China's exports of semiconductors and autos. In March, Chinese leaders set an annual economic growth target of 4.5% to 5%, slightly lower than last year's 5% expansion and t

He added that the consignments to West Asia are going through different routes because the Strait of Hormuz is "still a challenge". Goyal also said that free trade agreements finalised by India would give a huge boost to the domestic industry. "There is an increase in exports during the first three weeks of April as compared to the same period of last April... Despite the war in West Asia, there is tremendous enthusiasm among domestic exporters," Goyal told reporters here. The trade data for April will be released by the commerce ministry on May 15. Exports posted the steepest fall in five months, declining by 7.44 per cent in March to USD 38.92 billion due to trade uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, with shipments to West Asia contracting by more than 50 per cent
