Pricey vegetables bring tough time

We agree that the most recent difficult time for the common people was brought on by more expensive vegetables, which made them reflect on what our beloved everyday precious life now entails. The surprising circumstance has become a difficult period to endure. Due to several circumstances, vegetable prices are currently high in several places, including Kanpur.  Various common vegetables are now less available and more expensive because of supply chain disruptions, particularly those caused by the rainy climate. Media do not fail to report that rising vegetable prices are practically putting pressure on household finances, particularly for those with lower incomes. Prices for vegetables vary based on terrain and local market conditions, even though they are often pricey. According to the Economic Survey 2024–25, unfavourable weather conditions, such as unexpected rainfall and prolonged heatwaves, have impacted crop output and created supply shortages, which have forced prices high ...

India, Russia & Ukraine have substantial links



Reciprocal interests do help in setting international relations. If we strain to inspect this professed verity with a bit of unrestrained mind, there appears assertive reality in this stiff course. 

India, Russia and Ukraine have substantial links in terms of migration and trade in military spare parts like turbines for its warships. 

Delhi does not directly criticise Russia's invasion of Ukraine as it mostly benefited from purchasing large volumes of discounted Russian oil. There is nothing concealed in this explicit point. 

India has benefited from obtaining spare parts for its arms from Ukraine. This is unusually a very important trade with Ukraine for essentially military needs. 

As Ukraine struggles financially, it will gain much-needed money for its defence companies during the ongoing war.  Neither Russia nor Ukraine appear too lenient to stop this war.

Russia bombarded key Ukrainian defence companies like the Antonov Serial Production Plant in Kyiv and the Zorya-Mashproekt complex in Mykolaiv respectively. 

The Indian Air Force’s fleet of An- 32 military transports slated for an upgrade under a 2009 contract, has been impacted. 

The Antonov plant produces the model. The contract involved upgrading 40 aircraft in Ukraine and another 65 in India under Ukrainian supervision.

However, the supply disruption has been stuck resulting in stalling the upgradation of the the last five of 40 aircraft. 

These planes are reportedly lying in Kyiv. The upgradation of the aircraft was locally disrupted owing to the exit of the Ukrainian engineers and the dearth of spare parts. 

The Zorya-Mashproekt complex in Mykolaiv is vital for the production of turbines used by the Indian Navy. These were crippled by Russian forces two years ago. 

Frequent shelling and infrastructure damage bring losses to Mykolaiv’s strategic location. 

The impact on Zorya-Mashproekt is mainly significant. India relies on these turbines for its warships.

Bharat Forge’s acquisition of a 51℅ stake in Zorya’s India arm could be a foundation for the joint venture if Ukrainian technicians work along with India's engineers.
