India needs to challenge the legal basis of a proposed US tariff action that seeks to impose an additional 12.5% duty on imports from the country under a Section 301 investigation, trade policy think tank Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said on June 3.The recommendation comes after the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) proposed fresh duties on imports from 54 economies following a probe into the enforcement of restrictions on goods linked to forced labour.GTRI said that the investigation stretches the intended scope of Section 301, a trade enforcement mechanism traditionally used to address barriers affecting market access for American businesses in foreign jurisdictions, PTI reported.The current action is focused instead on whether countries regulate imports originating from third nations where forced labour concerns may exist, the think tank observed.Also read | Iran war puts Malhotra & Co in razor-edge policy bindThe proposed tariff rate of 12.5% for India and several other economies is also higher than the tariff ceiling committed by the US under multilateral trade rules, the think tank said.According to GTRI founder Ajay Srivastava, India should maintain that Washington is attempting to extend its domestic import-control framework beyond its borders through unilateral trade measures.He said such an approach falls outside the mandate of Section 301 and raises broader concerns regarding the use of trade policy to influence regulatory practices in other countries.The think tank further noted that concerns surrounding forced labour are often confined to specific products or sectors rather than entire economies. It argued that imposing country-wide tariffs may not be an appropriate response when targeted measures could address the underlying issue more effectively.Also read | CBDT tells tax officers to tighten scrutiny of unexplained income, assetsGTRI also viewed the proposed action in the context of ongoing trade negotiations between India and the United States, suggesting that the move could increase pressure on New Delhi as both countries work toward a bilateral trade agreement. It cautioned that India may face additional investigations under Section 301 in areas such as industrial overcapacity.The USTR initiated two separate Section 301 investigations in March this year covering 60 economies. One inquiry examined issues related to forced labour, while the second focused on concerns over excess manufacturing capacity.Following the conclusion of the forced labour investigation, the US has proposed additional duties on imports from 54 economies. Under the plan, imports from countries including Canada, Ecuador, Mexico, Indonesia, Pakistan and the European Union would face a 10% tariff. A higher duty of 12.5% has been proposed for 48 economies, including India and China.The proposal has not yet been finalised and is currently open for public consultation. Stakeholders have until June 22 to request participation in hearings and submit testimony summaries, while written submissions can be filed until July 6. Public hearings are scheduled for July 7.A final determination is expected in the coming weeks and could be announced before the expiry of the temporary Section 122 tariff measures on July 24. If approved, the additional duties may come into force shortly thereafter.The investigation does not allege the use of forced labour in India's export production. Instead, it examines whether India has adequate restrictions on imports sourced from third countries where forced labour concerns may arise.Inputs from PTI

Researchers in Kazakhstan say Hong Kong's sound financial system, infrastructure and regulatory regime make it an ideal partner and fund-raising hub for green energy projects. Chief Executive John Lee will conclude his duty visit to Kazakhstan on Wednesday night, before continuing his Central Asian tour in Uzbekistan. The visit by the SAR delegation comes as Kazakhstan accelerates its decarbonisation drive, having committed to the Paris climate change treaty and a 2060 carbon neutrality target. "Our government is putting more effort on that. We have a lot of projects going on," said Nurxat Nuraje, head of the renewable energy lab at National Laboratory Astana. With petroleum reserves expected to be depleted within 50 years, he said the Kazakh government is "paying more attention to develop new technology like renewable energy technology". Nuraje, who attended the International Hydrogen Development Symposium in Wan Chai last month, believed there is plenty of room for cooperation. "We learned that Hong Kong has become a very important hub for the development of hydrogen and renewable energy," he said. "Hong Kong has a very good transportation system, also a capital investment system." Fellow researcher Yerbolat Magazov went further, suggesting Hong Kong look into developing a trading mechanism for green hydrogen. "The actual role of Hong Kong as a hub would be to make it not as an energy material, but as a valuable asset," he said. "Special frameworks, taxonomy, legislation — so hydrogen can be traded as a stock material." Their laboratory in the Kazakh capital has already demonstrated the potential of clean energy, after building a system last year that converts solar energy into hydrogen. Mainland company Zhejiang H2-Bank Technology was a key partner, supplying critical components such as electrolysers and hydrogen storage systems. But Magazov acknowledged they need to drive down costs before green hydrogen can really take off. It remains three to five times more expensive than "grey" hydrogen, which is derived from fossil fuels. "The biggest problem is bankability," he said. "Lots of people have lots of money, but they need to be sure that in the future, green hydrogen will be profitable. Right now, if you calculate, it's a non-profitable thing." This, according to Magazov, is where the Hong Kong brand comes into play. "If Hong Kong trusts this country, everyone can also trust. That allows future investors to put money and investments into this particular market," he said. With global energy markets remaining volatile, Magazov felt that Central Asia and China should forge closer ties. "It's better to make allies which are close to each other," he said. "China, Hong Kong, Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries should bring together. In the future, if something happens, we'll be independent of others." Edited by Raymond Yeung
• Nepra holds public hearing after CPPA asks for additional fuel cost adjustment due to Iran war disruptions • Regulator seeks report from K-Electric over ‘excessive loadshedding’ in Karachi ISLAMABAD: The price of electricity is likely to be increased by Rs1.74 per unit in next month’s bills due to the higher fuel cost adjustment, in light of an official demand for over Rs16 billion in additional recoveries from power consumers. The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) held a public hearing on the Central Power Purchasing Agency’s (CPPA) request for an additional fuel cost recovery of Rs1.73 per unit from consumers for the June billing month. CPPA Chief Executive Officer Rehan Akhtar told the hearing that the reference fuel cost for April had been set at Rs8.25 per unit, but the actual cost turned out to be Rs9.975 per unit, mainly because of the US-Iran war and the resultant disruption in LNG supplies, thus necessitating an additional charge of Rs1.73 per unit on consumers in the billing month of June. Technical constraints in shifting cheaper power sources in Sindh to load centres in the upcountry regions facing shortages also contributed to the higher fuel cost adjustment (FCA). The net increase would be Rs1.74 per unit, as an existing minor negative fuel adjustment had also come to an end. The CPPA official said the government decided to undertake load management and limit the use of furnace oil and diesel for power generation, which helped contain the additional FCA at Rs1.73 per unit. He said special arrangements were made for LNG imports and the government decided to charge Rs2,000 per unit for its price instead of Rs3,500 per unit under normal circumstances to limit the tariff hike. In response to a question, he confirmed that lower availability of the Karachi Nuclear Power Plant Unit-2 (K-2) had also contributed to the higher FCA, while its past claims worth Rs3.4bn were another factor behind the increase. Another official explained that the K-2 plant was only partially available because of forced outages due to the problems in the nuclear reactor. The regulator was informed that power supply from the national grid to Karachi continued to benefit both K-Electric consumers and those connected to the national grid. “If KE had not been provided electricity from the national grid, an overall increase of Rs1.46 per unit in FCA and an increase of Rs2.80 per unit in capacity purchase price (CPP) would have resulted for consumers, with a total impact of Rs4.26 per unit for the month of April 2026,” Rehan reported. He said overall power consumption in April this year was 8.5pc lower than last year, as demand declined across all consumer categories except the industrial sector, where the impact of gas disconnections for captive power plants and the incremental tariff package contributed to a 13.5pc growth. Industrial consumers from Karachi, including Rehan Javed, Tanveer Barry and Arif Bilwani, complained that the incremental tariff package had benefited only a few consumers because of its “faulty design”. They called for the package to be reviewed. It was reported that consumption in the domestic sector dropped by almost 15pc, followed by declines of 9.5pc in the commercial sector, 7.2pc in general services, 53pc in agriculture and about 13pc among bulk consumers. Excessive loadshedding in Karachi During the hearing on Tuesday, Nepra also sought a detailed report from K-Electric over “excessive loadshedding” in Karachi amid scorching temperatures. Nepra pointed out that an increasing number of complaints were being received about excessive loadshedding in Karachi. A senior Nepra official reported that these complaints were coming from both high-loss and low-loss areas, which was a matter of concern as loadshedding schedules were not being followed. Moreover, power cuts caused by technical faults were also not being accounted for by the power utility under load management schedules, which was against regulatory performance standards. The K-Electric management, available live online, was asked to provide a detailed report on an urgent basis so the matter could be examined. KE promised to submit its report at the earliest but did not immediately respond to the allegations. In a statement issued after the hearing, a KE spokesperson said that its loadshedding practices were aligned with the principles of the National Electricity Policy 2021, and blamed development work in the city by civic authorities for any localised faults that were reported.
