Indian Shares Rise on EU Tariff Relief, Record RBI Dividend
Hindustan Times West UP
|May 27, 2025
Indian shares advanced on Monday, extending gains from the previous session, on easing global trade tensions and the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) record dividend transfer, which ended up reaffirming prospects of sustained fiscal consolidation.
The Nifty 50 closed 0.6% higher at 25,001.15.
Meanwhile, the BSE Sensex traded 0.56% higher to close at 82,176.45.
US President Donald Trump had also backed off on his threat to impose 50% tariffs on imports from the European Union (EU).
This had the effect of easing trade concerns and also potentially hinting "that the US may reduce its aggression in the trade war, which is a positive," according to G Chokkalingam, the founder and head of research at Equinomics Research and Advisory.
As a result, the US and EU now have time until July 9 to work on a trade deal.

Impetus for science amidst a global churn
The relentless rise of technologies pervades every aspect of human life today, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is its enforcer. From manufacturing to services, from nano-materials to space travel, from new chemistry to biotechnology, the pace of this rise is frenetic. There are two extreme ways—and a few in between—for countries to address this rise. The first is to be a passive user and play with markets, services, and exports of natural resources, including human talent. The second is to become a truly competitive player in this changing world, and to tilt the use of science and technology for our social and economic benefit. Budget allocations can help in pointing out the direction.
