A team of senior Indian officials will visit the United States (US) this week for trade talks, with negotiations on the proposed Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) progressing positively, news agency PTI reported, citing a top government official.
The BTA was initiated in February after leaders of India and the US directed officials to negotiate the pact. The first tranche of the agreement is planned to be concluded by the fall of 2025 (October-November). So far, five rounds of negotiations have been completed.
“The Indian team will visit this week. Negotiations are going in a positive direction. Both sides are of the view that talks should be fast-tracked,” the official added.
Last month, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal led an official delegation to New York for trade discussions, during which India and the US agreed to continue negotiations for an early conclusion of a mutually beneficial agreement. Goyal met with US Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer and Ambassador-designate to India Sergio Gor to discuss key trade issues.
These talks come amid tensions following the Trump administration’s imposition of steep tariffs on Indian goods, including a 25 percent additional duty on Russian crude oil. India has described these duties as “unfair, unjustified and unreasonable,” while Indian industry has also raised concerns over H1B visa policies.
Recent phone conversations between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump, however, have raised hopes for a positive outcome.
After a brief pause, Assistant US Trade Representative for South and Central Asia Brendan Lynch met Indian officials in New Delhi on September 16 to push for an early and mutually beneficial conclusion of the agreement. The sixth round of talks, initially scheduled from August 25-29, was postponed following the imposition of the high import duties.
On energy cooperation, the official said India may require more gas from the US in the long run. Goyal has previously stated that India expects to expand trade in energy products, with US involvement critical to the country’s energy security goals.
The proposed BTA aims to more than double bilateral trade to USD 500 billion by 2030 from the current USD 191 billion, PTI reported.
The US has been India’s largest trading partner for the fourth consecutive year in 2024-25, with bilateral trade valued at USD 131.84 billion, including USD 86.5 billion in exports.
Ambassador-designate Gor, a senior White House official and close aide of President Trump, has stated on the social media platform X that he discussed the economic ties and increased investment between the two countries during his recent visit to India.

**Toyota Corolla Concept Arrives as a Stunning Electric Vehicle**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 13, 2025, 05:48 PM*
Toyota has unveiled an exciting new concept car, the Corolla, during a livestream event from Japan. The vehicle was showcased alongside other innovative models such as the six-wheeled Lexus LS minivan and the Century coupe on stilts, drawing significant attention and sparking speculation about its future as a production model.
### Electric Vehicle Hints
The concept features elements like regular side mirrors and a fuel cap mounted on the front fender, which hint at the possibility of an electric vehicle (EV) version. The design language suggests Toyota is exploring bold new directions with the Corolla, traditionally known for its conservative styling.
### Future Plans: ICE Variant Likely
Despite strong indications toward an electric variant, it seems unlikely that Toyota will phase out the internal combustion engine (ICE) version of the Corolla anytime soon. As the best-selling nameplate in automotive history, Toyota would be cautious about offering the Corolla exclusively as an EV. Given the company’s well-known skepticism regarding a full electric takeover, a petrol-powered version of this model remains probable.
### Speculations on Availability
Toyota has kept details about the new Corolla tightly under wraps, leaving room for speculation. One possibility is that this electric model could be launched alongside a nearly identical ICE version, much like the approach taken with the new Lexus ES. Alternatively, Toyota might market this boldly designed Corolla concept in tandem with a more conventional ICE model.
### Design Evolution: A Bold New Direction
The concept car showcases unique design features such as pixelated daytime running lights, a ducktail spoiler, and a sloping beltline near the A-pillars. The noticeably short hood suggests a dedicated EV platform, although Toyota has also been teasing a new ultra-compact four-cylinder engine that could potentially fit beneath it, adding some ambiguity as to whether this concept will be electric-only.
### Looking Ahead
The full reveal of the new Corolla concept is scheduled for the 2025 Japan Mobility Show on October 29. This unveiling promises to shed more light on Toyota’s vision for the future of one of the world’s most iconic vehicles.
Stay tuned for updates as Toyota redefines the Corolla for the modern era.

**How Tesla Plans to Reverse Its Sales Decline in Europe**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 13, 2025, 01:33 PM*
Tesla has launched new “Standard” versions of its popular Model Y and Model 3 cars in Europe as part of its strategy to counter declining sales in the region. These new models are priced just under €40,000 (approximately ₹41.3 lakh), making them about €5,000 (around ₹5 lakh) cheaper than the current “Premium” versions.
### Sales Decline in Europe
Tesla’s sales in Europe have plummeted by over 30%, with around 134,000 vehicles sold through August this year. This represents a significant 33% drop compared to the same period last year. The decline has been attributed to several factors, including a lack of affordable models, increasing competition from other electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, and concerns surrounding CEO Elon Musk’s political views.
### Rising Competition: BYD’s Success
Chinese automaker BYD is rapidly expanding its presence in the European EV market. The company sold nearly 96,000 vehicles in the region, marking an impressive 280% increase from last year. BYD’s rapid growth further highlights the challenges Tesla faces amid rising competition and its ongoing sales slump.
### Global Performance and Challenges
Tesla’s global sales have also taken a hit, with about 1.22 million cars sold in the first three quarters of this year—a 6% decline from the same period last year. The company’s performance has been notably affected in Europe, where competition from automakers like BYD is intensifying, and in China, where sales are also declining.
As Tesla rolls out more affordable options like the new Standard Model Y and Model 3, the company aims to regain market share and revitalize its sales momentum in Europe’s highly competitive EV landscape.

NEW YORK, United States – An escalating trade war between China and the United States faces another flashpoint Tuesday when Chinese ships will be required to start paying a special fee to dock at US ports.
The move, announced by the US Trade Representative (USTR) in April, triggered reciprocal measures from Beijing, which will impose similar fees on American vessels.
**Trump Declares ‘Gaza War Over’ Ahead of Hostage-Prisoner Swap**
*By Chanshimla Varah | Oct 13, 2025 | 09:16 AM*
United States President Donald Trump has declared an end to the war in Gaza as he headed to Israel for a peace summit with world leaders. Speaking on Air Force One, Trump stated, “The war is over, you understand that,” and expressed optimism that the Middle East would soon “normalize.”
His remarks come as a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas continues for the third consecutive day.
### Ceasefire Extended and Hostage-Prisoner Swap
The ceasefire agreement has been extended for an additional day. Under the terms, Hamas is expected to release Israeli hostages by noon on Monday. These hostages were captured during a surprise attack on October 7, 2023.
In exchange, Israel will free 1,700 Palestinians detained since the same date. The release includes 22 minors and the bodies of 360 militants. Israeli government spokesperson Shosh Bedrosian announced that the release of living hostages is anticipated early Monday morning.
### Upcoming Events and Diplomatic Efforts
President Trump is scheduled to address Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, before traveling to a summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. This summit aims to bring a definitive end to the Gaza war and will be attended by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, and advisor Jared Kushner spoke at a rally in Tel Aviv on Saturday, urging the release of hostages and a halt to hostilities.
### The Peace Plan and Reactions
The United States, alongside Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, brokered what is being described as a first-phase ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a televised statement, said, “Tomorrow is the beginning of a new path. A path of building, a path of healing, and I hope a path of uniting hearts.”
Demonstrator Dalia Yosef expressed gratitude, saying, “For two years we have been waiting for this day, for this moment.”
### Reconstruction and Future Security Measures
Israel plans to destroy Hamas’s underground tunnels in Gaza after the hostages are safely returned, according to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.
Meanwhile, Amjad al-Shawa, from a Palestinian organization working with aid groups, estimates that approximately 300,000 tents will be needed to provide temporary shelter for 1.5 million displaced Gazans.
The ceasefire began on Friday morning following Israel and Hamas’s agreement on the initial phase of President Trump’s 20-point peace proposal. Negotiations for subsequent phases are expected to continue in the coming weeks.

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines will protest a China Coast Guard (CCG) ship’s attack on a fisheries vessel off Pag-asa Island on Sunday morning.
The incident has been condemned by both the United States and the European Union, describing it as an “aggressive” and “dangerous” action.
Fortunately, nobody was injured when the CCG ship fired its water cannon, then rammed and slightly damaged the BRP vessel.
