Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday said that during a meeting with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), he questioned them about the steps being taken toward green initiatives while continuing to charge the levy. He urged the officials to scrap the Environment Compensation Charge (ECC) imposed on commercial vehicles travelling in and out of Delhi. Gadkari proposed that the Delhi government could instead provide ₹800–900 crore as grants-in-aid to the corporation rather than retaining the levy. Introduced by the Supreme Court of India in 2015, the ECC is imposed on commercial vehicles entering Delhi to curb air pollution. The apex court revoked a 10-year-old exemption that allowed commercial vehicles transporting essential goods to enter Delhi without paying the ECC.

The US Department of Commerce has imposed a 126 per cent tariff on Indian solar products after two Adani Group companies, Mundra Solar Energy and Mundra Solar PV, withdrew from the investigation proceedings, a preliminary anti-subsidy investigation report reviewed by The Indian Express shows. A query emailed to the Adani Group by The Indian Express did not elicit a response. US objects to dependence on ChinaWhile imposing steep tariffs on Indian solar products, the US Department of Commerce also pointed to India’s high dependency on Chinese imports. Solar imports from India were valued at $792.6 million in 2024, a more than nine-fold increase compared with 2022 levels, according to the US Commerce Department. “This could potentially exert pricing pressure on domestic OEMs and impact profitability of solar module manufacturers,” Jain said.

Nvidia Corp. failed to impress investors with its latest forecast, signaling that concerns about an overheated AI economy will continue to dog the company. After a remarkable run of sales growth, which turned Nvidia into the world’s most valuable company, investors have proven harder to satisfy. Like much of the electronics industry, Nvidia’s products are reliant on a steady supply of these components, which provide short-term storage in everything from smartphones to supercomputers. Nvidia’s data-center unit, which is responsible for its industry-leading AI accelerator and networking products, had revenue of $62.3 billion in the quarter. Gaming, which offers graphics chips that once provided the majority of Nvidia’s revenue, generated $3.73 billion in sales.
