INDIA BUSINESS | Sun, 25 Jan 2026, 10:35AM IST With international automakers deciding to go ahead with their investments despite uncertain global geopolitical and economic environment, Tata Technologies Ltd is looking forward to a "very strong year" in the next fiscal from an aggregate growth perspective, according to its CEO and MD Warren Harris. The company - a global product engineering and digital services firm, which had last year acquired Germany-based ES-Tech group, also expects the acquired entity to add to its overall growth trajectory, Harris told PTI in an interview. "The automotive business specifically is a product-driven business, and because of the uncertainty in the last 18 months to two years, a lot of our customers, not just in North America, but also in Europe, have been sitting on their hands because they have not been sure about which propulsion system they should invest in, where they should be building product and how they should be managing their supply chains," he said. At least now, Harris said,"Whether

INDIA NEWS | Sun, 25 Jan 2026, 10:20AM IST As India heads into the 2026 Union Budget amid a slowing global economy and persistent geopolitical risks, a new survey of over 5,000 respondents offers a snapshot of how business leaders, professionals and informed readers assess the countrys economic strengths, vulnerabilities and fiscal priorities.The findings point to a nuanced mood: broad confidence in Indias underlying growth drivers and political stability, tempered by deep anxieties over jobs, inequality and external shocks and a clear preference for fiscal flexibility rather than dogmatic consolidation.Consumption remains Indias biggest economic anchorAsked to identify the Indian economys biggest positive at the moment, respondents overwhelmingly pointed to robust domestic consumption, which garnered the largest share of responses at 35.6%. This reinforces the governments own narrative that Indias growth story is increasingly driven by internal demand rather than exports, insulating it to some extent from global slowdowns.For policymakers, this is both a validation and a warning. Private consumption has held up even as global trade weakens and advanced economies tighten monetary policy. Yet, sustaining this momentum will require continued income support, job creation and inflation management. With food prices volatile and wage growth uneven, especially outside the formal sector, the Budgets choices on tax relief, rural spending and urban employment could determine whether consumption remains resilient into FY27. 127389284 "The current financial year witnessed substantial fiscal measures to boost consumption both on the income tax and GST fronts. The next fiscal may see a strategy focus on the non-fiscal measures to support demand. This may be by lowering real borrowing costs and supporting credit growth," said Sameer Gupta, EY India Tax Leader - knowledge partner for The Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association.Political stability also featured prominently, with 30.3% of respondents citing strong, stable leadership as a key positive. In an election cycle year, this sentiment carries political weight. It suggests that predictability in policymaking and continuity of reforms are viewed as economic assets by businesses and investors. This may embolden the government to push incremental structural measures in the Budget, even as it avoids politically risky overhauls ahead of polls.By contrast, traditional macro indicators ranked lower. Only 18.2% cited strong economic fundamentals as the biggest positive, while 15.9% pointed to the growing formalisation of the economy. This suggests that while reforms such as GST, digitisation and financial inclusion are acknowledged, they are no longer seen as headline growth drivers. The onus may now be on translating these reforms into tangible gains in productivity and employment.Policy implications for Budget 2026Taken together, the survey responses suggest a budget that is likely to prioritise stability over surprise. Strong domestic consumption and confidence in leadership give the government some leeway, but concerns over jobs, inequality and external risks argue against aggressive fiscal tightening.On the business side, this points to continued emphasis on infrastructure spending, targeted incentives and policy predictability rather than sweeping tax reforms. For industry, the key ask may be clarity and continuity, especially in sectors exposed to global shocks such as energy, manufacturing and logistics.For the govt, the message is clear: growth alone is not enough. Employment outcomes and distributional concerns are increasingly central to how economic performance is judged. A Budget that visibly addresses these issues, without undermining fiscal credibility, may be best positioned to navigate both market expectations and voter sentiment.As India prepares its fiscal roadmap for FY27 and beyond, the survey highlights an economy at a crossroadsconfident in its domestic strengths, wary of global headwinds, and seeking a careful balance between ambition and caution.Jobs, geopolitics dominate economic anxietiesOn the flip side, the survey underscores persistent structural concerns. High unemployment, underemployment and skill mismatches emerged as the single biggest worry, flagged by 31.8% of respondents. Despite headline GDP growth remaining among the fastest globally, job creation has lagged, particularly in labour-intensive manufacturing and services.This has direct implications for Budget priorities. Pressure is likely to mount for higher allocations towards skilling, MSME support and employment-linked incentives. Politically, employment remains a sensitive fault line, especially among youth and urban voters. A Budget perceived as capital-intensive but job-light could invite criticism, even if it stays fiscally prudent. 127389355 External vulnerabilities ranked even higher, with 35.8% of respondents citing risks from oil prices, geopolitics and global uncertainty. With conflicts in West Asia, disruptions in shipping lanes and the ever-present risk of energy price spikes, Indias exposure as a major oil importer remains a key macro risk. This reinforces the importance of maintaining fiscal buffers, diversifying energy sources and accelerating the transition towards renewables.Rising inequality and wealth concentration also featured prominently, worrying 21.6% of respondents. This is a notable signal in a business-oriented survey and reflects growing public debate over whether Indias growth dividends are being unevenly distributed. For the Budget, this could translate into scrutiny of tax policy, welfare targeting and social sector spending. Any perception of excessive largesse towards corporates or high-income groups could become politically contentious.Lagging private investment, often cited as a constraint in policy discussions, appears to be a relatively smaller concern among respondents. This is likely a thumbs-up for India's continued public capex push, or a reflection of the belief that demand revival and policy certainty will eventually unlock investment."We expect the capex growth to be in line with the nominal GDP growth, while maintaining the capex/GDP ratio (~3.2). However, there may be a qualitative shift withing the capex, with a greater tilt towards defence and digital both of which are likely to have a positive multiplier impact," said EY India's Gupta."Budget is likely to continue with the structural reforms and improving ease of doing business for supporting growth," he added.Fiscal flexibility over rigid targetsPerhaps the clearest signal from the survey comes on fiscal strategy. When asked how the Budget should handle the fiscal deficit in FY27, the largest group of respondents (38.2%) favoured keeping it flexible, depending on economic conditions. This pragmatic stance suggests limited supprt for rigid adherence to deficit targets if growth or external stability is at risk.About a quarter of respondents (24.9%) supported sticking to the glide path and cutting the deficit, reflecting continued concern about fiscal credibility, borrowing costs and ratings. Another 23.8% were open to loosening the purse strings to support growth, while only 13.2% favoured holding the deficit at current levels. 127389423 For the finance ministry, this creates space to balance competing imperatives. Markets and rating agencies continue to watch Indias fiscal consolidation road map closely, especially as global interest rates remain elevated. At the same time, slowing global growth and domestic job concerns may justify selective spending, particularly in areas with high multiplier effects.Politically, flexibility offers the least resistance. It allows the government to signal commitment to prudence while retaining room to respond to shocks, whether from oil prices, climate events or global financial volatility. Expect the Budget to reiterate medium-term consolidation goals, while building in contingencies rather than hard numbers.

INDIA NEWS | Sun, 25 Jan 2026, 8:08AM IST President Donald Trumps latest tariff threats may signal an early escalation in whats expected to be months of volatile posturing as the US, Canada and Mexico prepare to review their trade pact this year.On Saturday, Trump criticized Mark Carney for expanding economic ties with China, saying the prime minister would be sorely mistaken to think the US will allow Canada to be a drop off port for Chinese goods. He threatened 100% tariffs on the northern nation if it reaches a trade deal with China.Also Read | Trump threatens Canada with 100% tariff over pending trade deal with ChinaCanadas minister in charge of US trade, Dominic LeBlanc, pushed back, saying there was no pursuit of a free trade agreement with China. Last weeks limited deal between Carney and Chinese President Xi Jinping was about resolving tariff disputes, LeBlanc said, describing the US-Canada relationship as a remarkable partnership.While Trumps remarks were ostensibly about Canadas tariff truce with China and come as Carney draws international attention for his Davos speech about standing up to great powers the salvo also portends a heated back-and-forth ahead of the US-Canada-Mexico Agreement review.Most economists surveyed by Bloomberg still anticipate a positive outcome to those talks, but Trumps broadside injects fresh uncertainty.This clearly adds downside risks to the upcoming formal trade negotiations between the US and Canada, Dominique Lapointe, a macro strategist with Manulife Investment Management, said by email. 127444969 Canada is particularly exposed because exports to the US represent an outsize proportion of its economy. Trumps sectoral tariffs on autos, steel, aluminum and lumber are badly hurting key industries, but many other goods remain tariff-free if shipped under USMCA. That exemption is at risk as the agreement is subject to a mandatory review this year. Analysts warn that losing it would be devastating for Canada, pushing effective tariffs on US-bound exports well above the 5% to 7% rate currently estimated by most economists. Earlier this month, Trump said theres no real advantage for the US to having the deal, which was one of his signature first-term achievements, replacing the North American Free Trade Agreement.Also Read | Trumps tariffs do bite when he actually imposes themThe pact spells out a range of negotiating paths as they approach the sixth anniversary of the agreement on July 1. Unless all three countries agree to extend USMCA by 16 years, they must hold annual reviews before the pact expires in 2036. The framework theoretically allows talks to proceed in any format the parties choose, and includes a withdrawal clause permitting any country to exit with six months notice.Many US business groups even those with grievances about USMCA dont want to see the trade deal scrapped entirely. Several industries, such as auto manufacturing, have developed deeply interconnected supply chains across North America that would be upended if Trump terminates the deal.Derek Holt, head of capital markets economics at Bank of Nova Scotia, said he isnt persuaded by arguments that USMCA will be torn up. Hubris aside, that hasnt been the US attitude to date and the vast majority of US industries that testified at USTR hearings strongly supported the USMCA deal, he said in a report to investors published Friday. 127445022 Trade uncertainty is weighing on business confidence, complicating Canadas long-term struggle to attract capital. In a survey last week, the Bank of Canada said firms are holding back investment in expanding production, focusing instead on maintenance and replacement spending.Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expect investment in Canada to grow 1.3% in 2026, up from just 0.6% last year. But that forecast hinges on a USMCA deal lifting investment in the second half of this year.This is just adding to the noise, but it was always going to be very noisy, volatile and uncertain, Randall Bartlett, deputy chief economist at Desjardins Group, said. It was never going to be a positive environment for business investment in Canada, particularly in the first part of this year.We hope the two governments can come to a better understanding quickly that can alleviate further concerns for businesses who face the immediate consequences of torqued-up uncertainty, said Matthew Holmes, chief of public policy at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Still, Trumps reaction may also signal that Canadas outreach to China carries some advantage, Bartlett said.It also gives Canada potentially a little bit of leverage in the negotiations as well. There are other major trading partners that want to work with us, he said.When Carney and Xi struck their deal, Trump initially reacted positively. Thats OK, thats what he should be doing, the president said of Carney on Jan. 16. Its a good thing for him to sign a trade deal. If you can get a deal with China you should do that.If Canada meaningfully diversifies away from the US, Bartlett said, its something that is going to lead to challenges for US businesses and consumers as well.

INDIA NEWS | Sun, 25 Jan 2026, 7:39AM IST Multiple US senators said Saturday they would vote against upcoming government spending bills after federal agents killed a second American citizen in Minneapolis, significantly increasing the chances of a government shutdown next week.Funding for large parts of the federal government, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Pentagon, expires on January 31.The Republican-led House of Representatives has passed the funding through September, but it still requires approval in the Senate.US President Donald Trump's Republican Party also narrowly controls the 100-member upper chamber, but does not have enough votes to pass spending bills without Democratic support.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement Saturday that "Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included."Republicans had hoped to secure a few Democratic votes on the spending package, despite it including full funding for DHS, the agency carrying out Trump's controversial immigration agenda."I will not support the current Homeland Security funding bill," Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, one of the possible swing voters, said Saturday in a statement after the latest Minneapolis killing.The Nevada senator said the Trump administration and DHS chief Kristi Noem are "putting undertrained, combative federal agents on the streets with no accountability."The killing of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old Minneapolis nurse, comes just three weeks after another Minnesota resident, 37-year-old Renee Good, was also shot and killed by a federal agent.Democratic Senator Mark Warner of Virginia said "this brutal crackdown has to end" in a post on X reacting to Pretti's death Saturday. "I cannot and will not vote to fund DHS while this administration continues these violent federal takeovers of our cities," he added.The longest government shutdown in US history -- in which hundreds of thousands of federal employees are furloughed except those deemed essential and are asked to work without pay -- ended last November after 43 days. Senate rules require 60 votes to pass spending bills, and the growing number of Democratic lawmakers withdrawing support for the spending bill made another shutdown just two months after the last one increasingly a possibility.

INDIA NEWS | Sun, 25 Jan 2026, 6:54AM IST Britain's government said on Saturday it will create a new National Police Service, described as a "British FBI", to modernise policing and deal with terrorism, fraud, organised crime and other complex criminal activity.The new force will bring together the work of the National Crime Agency, which investigates serious organised crime such as drug smuggling and people trafficking, with other country-wide roles like counter-terrorism and national road policing.Once appointed, its chief - the National Crime Commissioner - will be the most senior officer in the country. Currently, the head of London's Metropolitan Police is Britain's highest-ranking law enforcement official.Creation of the National Police Service will form part of major police reforms the government is due to unveil on Monday, which it is casting as the biggest shake-up in policing since Robert Peel established the first professional force in 1829."The current policing model was built for a different century," Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, the UK's interior minister, said in a statement."We will create a new National Police Service - dubbed 'the British FBI' - deploying world class talent and state of the art technology to track down and catch dangerous criminals," she said, likening it to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.There are currently 43 local police forces in England and Wales, with some holding national roles, such as the London police, which is responsible for counter-terrorism.Mahmood said the shake-up would allow local forces to focus on dealing with everyday offences, such as shoplifting and anti-social behaviour, and catching criminals in their areas.It is also expected that, as part of the changes announced on Monday, the government will cut the overall number of forces in Britain in a move to save money and reduce crime.
