Pahalgam Terror Attack, India-Pakistan Tensions HIGHLIGHTS: The Indian government is holding series of high-profiles meetings amid the rising tensions with Pakistan. rime Minister Narendra Modi held a meeting on Tuesday with NSA Ajit Doval for the second day in a row.

This discussion followed closely on the heels of his meeting with Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh the previous day and another with Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi, Chief of the Naval Staff, two days earlier.

In a sweeping move following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives, India has imposed a total ban on all imports and transit of goods from Pakistan, citing national security concerns. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry issued a gazette notification on Saturday, invoking the Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act, 1992, and the current Foreign Trade Policy 2023 to enforce the prohibition.

Armies on the both side of the borders are at high alert and deployment has been increased multifolds. While Pakistan has claimed that India is preparing for an attack, the Narendra Modi government appears to be getting ready for any misadventure by Islamabad. The Union Home Ministry of India has now issued a order asking states to conduct a mock drill for civil defence preparedness. This will enable the civilians to learn ways to protect themseleves in case of any attack.

While higher defense spending could potentially slow fiscal consolidation, Moody’s does not foresee significant disruptions to India’s economic activity, due to its limited economic ties with Pakistan—less than 0.5% of India’s total exports in 2024.
