The early weeks of 2026 have witnessed a seismic shift in the geopolitical and economic landscape as the United States and India finalised a landmark trade deal. Following a year of escalating tensions, punitive tariffs, and complex diplomatic manoeuvring, the agreement announced on February 2nd, 2026, by President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi marks a significant "reset" in the relationship between the world’s two largest democracies. This deal is not merely a technical adjustment of customs duties; it is a strategic alignment aimed at decoupling supply chains from shared adversaries, securing energy independence, and cementing a high-tech partnership that could define the mid-21st century. Below are the key features and pillars of this monumental agreement. 1. The Great Tariff Reduction: From 50% to 18% The most immediate and visible feature of the 2026 deal is the drastic reduction in U.S. tariffs on Indian goods. In August 2025, the U.S. administ...
India is considered to be the world's
fastest running economy. Not only the leader of India but all the economic
agencies of the world also say the same. There has definitely been a loss in
the Corona era. Which shocked PM Narendra Modi's dream, which he had seen in
January 2018 and said in an address to the entire nation at an event, to make
the country a 5 trillion dollar economy by 2025, After which all the ministers
of the country have been praising this. On the other hand, a smartphone maker
company of America is continuously moving forward, beating the pace of Indian
economy. The American company Apple has become a 2 trillion-dollar company. The
special thing is that when PM Modi talked about the 5 trillion economies, Apple
was not even a trillion-dollar economy. Today India has not even reached 3
trillion and Apple has reached the mark of two trillion. If this continues,
Apple will become an economy of 5 trillion before India.
Apple's market cap in January 2018
was $ 806 billion dollars. Which reached one trillion dollars in August 2018.
Then in August 2019, the company's market cap came down to one trillion at 930
billion dollars. But in 2020 the company came back and surpassed all, touching
the $ 2 trillion mark. The increase in the company's market cap was due to an
increase in shares. Talking of growth in the last one year, 120 per cent has
been seen. Whereas in 2020 it has seen a growth of 57 per cent. Talking about
Corona Time, on March 16, the company stock fell below $ 250. The stock of that
company was pegged at $ 241.13. Today, on August 25, the company's stock closed
at $ 499.30. That is, the company's shares have seen a rise of nearly 100 per
cent.
Talking about India's economy,
nothing special has been seen in the last two years. 2018 GDP was 2.71 trillion
dollars. Whereas in 2019 India's GDP showed a slight increase and the figure
stopped at $ 2.85 trillion. At the same time, talking about India's potential
GDP, it has been estimated at $ 3.20 trillion. Well, this figure was estimated
before the coronavirus came into the world. With the effect of Coronavirus, the
country's GDP is also expected to be less. Many economic agencies have
expressed concern about the country's GDP. According to experts, India's GDP
should not reach 3 trillion by the end of FY 2020. There is also a possibility
that it may fall below the GDP of 2019.
Now the question is, will Apple's
market reach 5 trillion or even by 2025? Looking at the growth, there is no
doubt that Apple's market cap can reach $ 4 trillion. According to experts, it
is very difficult to tell about the company for the next five years. There is
no doubt that the company is continuously growing. At the same time, there is
also a possibility that by 2025 the possible price of company shares will be
around $ 700, but at that time the US dollar will also depend on the index at
which level it is.
