What was the mandatory pickup charge imposed on passengers using app-based cabs (Uber/Ola) from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport as reported in February 2026?
₹290The mandatory ₹290 pickup charge applies to every app-based cab ride originating from Delhi airport regardless of vehicle type or trip distance. This fee constitutes nearly half the total fare for short-distance journeys, significantly impacting passenger costs. According to drivers, cab aggregators deduct this amount upfront as a parking fee under long-term contracts with Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), operated by GMR Group. While drivers note the charge prevents losses from ride cancellations, they complain it has sharply reduced their earnings when combined with the 50%+ commission already taken by aggregators. Passengers have criticized the fee as disproportionate to the actual service quality, citing congestion, poor terminal design, and inadequate crowd management especially at Terminal 2.

According to Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, how was the India-US trade deal characterized in terms of negotiation approach?
Constructive dialogue, not saudebaaziUnion Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan explicitly stated that the India-US trade deal was reached through constructive dialogue rather than 'saudebaazi' (bargaining or underhand dealing). He emphasized that the agreement maintained India's dignity while protecting farmers' interests by excluding agricultural products vital to cultivators. Chouhan countered Congress allegations that the deal represented a 'surrender' of national interests by highlighting that no product harmful to Indian farmers was included. The minister described the pact as reflecting India's diplomacy, development priorities, and dignity with farmers' interests kept paramount. He also noted that key agricultural products forming the core strength of Indian farmers were deliberately kept out of the agreement.
