Ngemva kokuba i-US ibeke ngokusemthethweni intela engu-50% ekuthengweni kwempahla evela eNdiya, i-India yelula ukukhululwa entengweni yentela yokungenisa ikotini kuze kube sekupheleni kukaDisemba.

Ngomhlaka-28 Agasti (ngoLwesine), ngosuku olulandelayo ngemuva kokuba intela engu-50% ebekwe yi-United States ezimpahleni zaseNdiya iqale ukusebenza ngokusemthethweni, uhulumeni waseNdiya welula isikhathi sokukhululwa entengweni yokungenisa impahla ekotini eluhlaza kuze kube ngumhlaka-31 Disemba 2025.
Ngaphambi kokukhululwa, cishe u-11% wentela yayifakwa kukotini ongeniswe eNdiya. UMnyango Wezezimali uthe isikhathi sokukhululwa esaziswa ekuqaleni sasisukela mhla ziyi-19 kuNcwaba kuya kumhla zingama-30 kuMandulo, futhi manje sesinwetshiwe ukuze sihlanganise izinyanga ezintathu zokugcina zalo nyaka.
Lesi sinqumo, nakuba sihlose ukusekela imboni yezindwangu zasekhaya ngaphambi kwesikhathi samaholide, sibonakala futhi njengesimo esilinganiselwe maqondana neWashington phakathi nobudlelwano bezohwebo obushubile.
Lokhu kwenzeke ngesikhathi esibalulekile ebudlelwaneni bezohwebo phakathi kwe-India ne-US. Muva nje iWashington ibeke intela ephezulu yokushintshana ekuthunyelweni kwe-India kwamanye amazwe, futhi izingxoxo zokuhweba ziye zamiswa. NgoFebhuwari kulo nyaka, abaholi bamazwe amabili bavumile ukusayina isigaba sokuqala sesivumelwano sokuhweba samazwe amabili ngaphambi kwekwindla ka-2025.

U-Ajay Srivastava, umsunguli we-Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI), ithimba lokucabanga laseNdiya, uthe: “Lesi isinyathelo esilinganiselwe esibhekana nokukhathazeka kwe-United States ngenkathi sivikela ukuzwela kwasekhaya.” Wanezela ngokuthi isikhathi sokwelulwa sizovumela iNew Delhi ukuthi igcine amandla ayo okuxoxisana ezingxoxweni zamazwe amabili.
Ngokusho kwe-Times of India, izikhulu eziphezulu zikahulumeni waseNdiya ziqinisekisile ukuthi i-United States ikhansele uhlelo lwayo lokuthumela abameleli bezingxoxo eNew Delhi ukuze kube nomjikelezo wesithupha wezingxoxo zokuhweba phakathi kwamazwe amabili kusukela mhla zingama-25 kuya kumhla zingama-30 kuNcwaba. Ukukhanselwa kokuvakashela kwethimba lase-US eNdiya kubonisa ukuthi isigaba sokuqala sezingxoxo zokuhweba phakathi kwamazwe amabili i-India ne-US kungenzeka singakwazi ukuqedwa njengoba kwakuhleliwe ekuqaleni ngaphambi kwalokhu kwekwindla.
Ukukhiqizwa kukakotini eNdiya kuye kwehla, kwehla kusuka kumabhele angaba yizigidi ezingu-33.7 ngonyaka wezimali ka-2023 kuya kumabhele angaba yizigidi ezingu-30.7 ngonyaka wezimali ka-2025. Lokhu kuphoqe izimboni zezindwangu ukuthi zandise ukungeniswa kwempahla kwamanye amazwe. Izinhlangano zezimboni bezixwayisa ngokuthi ukushoda kokunikezwa kungakhuphula izindleko zoboya bekotini nezingubo, okusongela ukuncintisana kokuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe.
Kwabathumeli baseMelika, lesi sinyathelo sinikeza ithuba eliqondile. Ngonyaka wezimali ka-2025, ukotini obiza amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1.2 waseMelika owangeniswa yiNdiya cishe wawusezingeni elifanele ngokuphelele ngobude befayibha obungamamilimitha angu-28 noma ngaphezulu. I-United States ingumhlinzeki oyinhloko kulo mkhakha.
Isikhulu esiphezulu senhlangano ehamba phambili yokuthumela izingubo kwamanye amazwe sithe: “Ikotoni liyisici esibalulekile ezingxoxweni. Lesi sinyathelo singafaka isifiso esihle engxoxweni futhi singase sivule indlela yokunciphisa intela ebanzi yezindwangu.”
Ukungeniswa kwekotoni eNdiya kukhuphuke kakhulu kusuka kumabhele ayizigidi ezingu-1.52 ngonyaka wezimali ka-2024 kuya kumabhele ayizigidi ezingu-2.71 ngonyaka wezimali ka-2025. Abaphakeli abayinhloko kwakuyi-United States, iBrazil, iGibhithe, iBenin, iTanzania kanye namanye amazwe ase-Afrika.
Nakuba ukubekwa kwentela eWashington kuye kwaphazamisa amathuba okuhwebelana kwamazwe amabili, izenzo zaseNew Delhi ngendaba kakotini ziye zahunyushwa njengomzamo wokunciphisa impikiswano.
Ngokusho kwemiphumela yocwaningo lwe-Crisil Ratings, njengoba intela engu-50% ebekwe yi-United States ezimpahleni ezingeniswe eNdiya yaqala ukusebenza ngomhlaka-27 Agasti, ukukhula kwemali engenayo embonini yezingubo zaseNdiya kuzoncipha cishe ngesigamu uma kuqhathaniswa nonyaka wezimali odlule. Ngokuhambisana nokwehla kwenzuzo, kuzothinta izinkomba zesikweletu zabahlanganyeli embonini. Le nkampani ithe lo mthelela uzohluka ebhizinisini ngalinye, njengoba amanye amabhizinisi ethola imali engaphezu kuka-40% evela e-United States.
