In this segment of Nothing But The Truth, @rajchengappa highlights a growing challenge facing the Indian economy. India's combined import bill for fertilisers, edible oils, and pulses is expected to reach between $52 and $56 billion this fiscal year—equivalent to more than ₹5 lakh crore. Fertiliser and raw material imports alone could account for nearly $30 billion, making these essential farm-linked imports a significant part of India's overall import bill.

Why does this matter? As global uncertainties rise and external pressures mount, India's dependence on imported agricultural inputs is emerging as a critical economic and strategic concern.

Watch the full episode of Nothing But The Truth to understand why this is more than just an import bill, it's a question of long-term food and economic security.

Trump shares India Today's Magazine Cover Again!

I think the president, in retweeting the cover we did, was signaling that despite the fact that he is doing business with other countries, he is, of course, engaging Pakistan—which is a tactical move to get them involved in the Iran war and its settlement.
He appreciates India’s role and feels that he has a good rapport with Prime Minister Modi: @rajchengappa

In this episode of Nothing But The Truth, @rajchengappa speaks with former Deputy National Security Advisor Pankaj Saran on the realities of India-US trade negotiations and the growing role of geopolitics in economic relations.

Saran argues that India has been transparent about what it can realistically offer and has already proposed significant measures, including increased purchases of American energy and long-term commitments to US imports.

He also highlights the economic asymmetry between the two countries, noting that expectations must reflect the vast difference between a $90,000-per-capita economy and a $3,000-per-capita economy.

The discussion explores whether trade deficits are being viewed fairly and how geopolitical considerations are increasingly influencing trade negotiations between major partners.

Watch the full episode to understand the complexities of India-US trade relations, economic realities and the growing influence of geopolitics on global commerce.
