Senate Panel Approves Bill For Tech Giants

The US Senate Judiciary Panel authorised a bill that will restrict tech giants like Amazon and Google from giving preference to their businesses on their websites. The tech giants have been under pressure because of allegations of abusing their vast market power. A long list of bills are aimed at curbing them in, but none have become law.


Lawmakers voted on a bill presented by Senators Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat and a Republican, defining companies don’t need to share data with businesses that the US government has declared national security risks. A second bill, led by US Senators Richard Blumenthal and Marsha Blackburn was on that the Open App Markets Act will block big app stores such as Apple from forcing app providers to use their payment system and prohibit them from punishing apps that offer different prices via another app store or payment system.

Lemon Prices Skyrocket 400% in a Month, What’s Driving the Surge?

Dhruva Kulkarni

Lemon prices have surged nearly four times a month, with retail prices now around Rs 120 per kilogram, raising consumer concerns.

Typically, lemon prices rise in summer, but this year’s sharp increase came early. Wholesale prices in March were around Rs 3,000 per quintal, jumping to Rs 12,000 by mid-April.

Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh, known as the “lemon capital of India,” has seen the steepest price hikes due to stockpiling by exporters, creating a supply shortage.

The surge in international demand, driven by rising global temperatures, has put pressure on domestic supply chains. India, which exports 18-20% of the world’s lemons, has seen increased global orders, especially from the Middle East.

While trade tensions and tariffs have been a concern, they have had little impact on lemon exports, mainly to countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Weather disruptions in key lemon-growing states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Karnataka have also contributed to the shortage. Prices are expected to remain high until domestic supplies stabilise.

India’s Trade Deficit Rebounds to $21.5 Bn in March After 3-Year Low

Dhruva Kulkarni

India’s merchandise trade deficit widened sharply to $21.54 billion in March, reversing the relief seen in February when it had narrowed to a three-year low of $14.05 billion.

The spike came as imports surged to $64.51 billion from $50.96 billion in February, outpacing the rise in exports, which increased to $41.97 billion from $36.91 billion.

For the full financial year 2024-25, merchandise exports remained largely flat at $437.42 billion. However, non-petroleum exports reached a record high of $374 billion, growing 6% over the previous year. The Commerce Ministry also estimates overall exports for FY25 to be $820 billion, which could be the highest ever.

Meanwhile, strong export growth was recorded in electronics, garments, tea, plastics, pharmaceuticals, engineering goods, and key agricultural items like coffee, rice, and tobacco.

India Plans to Export 40,000 Tonnes of Shrimp to US After Tariff Pause

Dhruva Kulkarni

India’s seafood exporters are preparing to ship 35,000–40,000 tonnes of shrimp to the US after President Trump paused a 26% tariff hike on 9th April, reducing it to 10% and offering relief to the industry.

Around 2,000 delayed containers are now being readied for export under the revised tariff.

Indian shrimp exports to the US currently face a total duty of 17.7%, including countervailing and anti-dumping duties, which exporters typically bear under delivery duty-paid arrangements.

The 90-day pause allows existing orders to be fulfilled without extra costs.

The US remains India’s top shrimp market, and exporters are urging the government to push for fairer trade terms before the temporary relief ends.

China Hints at Rate Cuts to Offset Trump’s Tariffs

Dhruva Kulkarni

A Chinese state newspaper signalled the need for monetary easing as US trade tensions threaten economic growth, suggesting the central bank should cut interest rates and banks’ reserve requirements.

The report stated that such measures could stabilise markets, boost confidence, and mitigate external shocks.

Chinese stocks rose for the third day, driven by stimulus expectations and hopes for a trade deal with the US. The urgency for easing increased after US President Donald Trump raised tariffs on Chinese imports to 125% while pausing levies on other trade partners.
