During Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to New Zealand, India and New Zealand agreed to increase bilateral trade to ₹35,000 crore by 2030 and work towards an early implementation of a Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
The two countries also decided to strengthen cooperation in key sectors, including agriculture, dairy, tourism, maritime cooperation, skill development, clean energy and innovation. The agreements are aimed at boosting economic ties and expanding collaboration across multiple sectors.

India could face a fresh trade challenge after a bipartisan group of four US senators announced plans to move forward legislation that would impose up to a 500% tariff on countries that continue purchasing Russian oil and natural gas. The proposal has the backing of the Trump administration and is aimed at increasing pressure on Russia.
The development comes as global crude oil prices remain under pressure following renewed tensions involving the United States and Iran. If passed by the US Congress and signed into law, the legislation could have significant implications for countries, including India, that continue to import Russian energy.

My Demand: Make Long Term Capital Gain TAX on Equities NIL for individual investor.
I welcome the hike in STT (security transaction tax) on derivatives as it can curb reckless speculation. Nearly 90% of retail investors lose money in F&O, turning markets into gambling.
When STT was originally introduced, LTCG was zero. But now with both STT and LTCG in place, investors are disincentivised.
I urge the govt to abolish LTCG on equities for individuals, as done in Switzerland, Singapore, UAE & others. This will boost household wealth, reduce speculation, and shift savings from gold & real estate into equities.
An Investor Asked FM Nirmala Sitharaman Ji
