Kiri Industries expresses trust in Singapore court, hopes fair decision

Indian dye company Kiri Industries has expressed full confidence in the Singapore International Commercial Court's (SICC) decision and hopes its China-linked partner would honour the "final outcome" of an 8-year old dispute. Kiri, a minority shareholder in Dystar, initiated a legal battle in 2015 against Senda, a subsidiary of China's largest dye firm Longsheng and Dystar's majority shareholder, accusing it of minority oppression through various actions in Singapore High Court. In 2017, the suit was transferred to the SICC due to its international elements and in 2018, the court issued its judgement for the case, stating they accepted most of the instances of commercial unfairness raised by Kiri. "We are delighted with how our suits have progressed through Singapore's courts to achieve a just outcome," said Manish Kiri, Chairman & Managing Director, Kiri Industries Limited. On March 3, 2023, the SICC delivered the final valuation of stake in Kiri's joint venture company DyStar ...

India Inc must step up: EAM S Jaishankar on China trade imbalance

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday said the responsibility for the trade imbalance with China rests squarely on businesses as well, blaming Indian corporates for not developing the right sourcing arrangements. Speaking at the Asia Economic Dialogue here, Jaishankar said the government is doing its bit by bringing in policies like the thrust on Atmanirbhar Bharat and made it clear that the "massive external exposure" puts national security at threat. Terming the challenge posed by the trade imbalance with China as very serious and formidable, the career bureaucrat turned politician said the responsibility here is not just of the government, but it is an equal responsibility of businesses as well. "Indian corporates have not developed the kind of backwards (integration), vendor supplies, components and parts, ingredients and intermediates that should be supporting us," he said.

DGPs meet: China wants to reduce India's influence in Indian Ocean region

The papers presented by Indian Police Service officers at the just concluded conference of DGPs and IGPs submit that by providing huge amounts of money in the name of loans for developmental works in Southeast and South Asia, China wants to reduce India's influence in the Indian Ocean region and force resolution of bilateral issues on Beijing's terms. The three-day annual conference was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and about 350 top police officers of the country.

160 Chinese firms yet to be issued certificate for selling toys in India

The government on Friday said it has not yet issued a mandatory quality certificate to around 160 Chinese companies for selling toys in India, and the delay is due to the COVID-19 pandemic. From January 2021, India has made it mandatory to get the quality certification mark of 'ISI' from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for the sale of toys in the country. "Around 160 Chinese toy companies have applied for the BIS quality certification in the last two years. We have not yet issued to them in view of the COVID-19 pandemic," BIS Director General Pramod Kumar Tiwari told reporters. Normally, the BIS quality certification is issued after an inspection of the factories. Due to the pandemic restrictions and health concerns, the BIS officials could not visit China, he said. "Neither they invited us for inspection nor we could visit China because of the pandemic," Tiwari said. In the last two years, Tiwari said the BIS has granted the quality certificate to 29 foreign toy makers, out

NITI Aayog's Panagariya cautions against cutting trade ties with China

Amid demands for snapping trade ties with China for its transgressions on the border, former Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Arvind Panagariya has opined that cutting trade with Beijing at this juncture would amount to sacrificing India's potential economic growth. Instead, Panagariya suggested that India should try to enter into free trade agreements (FTA) with countries such as the UK and the European Union to expand its trade. "Engaging China in a trade war at this juncture will mean sacrificing a considerable part of our potential growth... purely on economic grounds, it will be unwise to take any action in response to it (transgressions on the border)," the eminent economist told PTI. Indian and Chinese troops clashed along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh on December 9 and the face-off resulted in "minor injuries to a few personnel from both sides", according to the Indian Army. Panagariya, currently a professor of economics at Columbia ...
