| 2 | The Department of Atomic Energy has released draft Rules and Regulations under the SHANTI Act permitting private companies to build and operate nuclear reactors, while reserving uranium enrichment for the state.
What they do not do is specify an enrichment threshold, create a private-sector enrichment pathway, or establish a dedicated framework for high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) — a fuel that, at present, only Russia can supply at commercial scale.
This brief argues that India's nuclear ambitions risk creating new dependencies unless fuel security and enrichment capacity are addressed: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/india-s-nuclear-expansion-has-a-fuel-cycle-blind-spot | 240 |
| 3 | China's strategy towards Taiwan extends beyond military and maritime coercion.
Heavily subsidised exchange programmes run by Beijing have drawn a growing number of Taiwanese participants, particularly young people — a trend that has increasingly alarmed Taipei.
This brief examines Taiwan’s challenge to sustain legitimate people-to-people engagement while strengthening transparency, limiting opportunities for political exploitation, and safeguarding national security: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/the-politics-of-china-s-youth-exchange-programmes-with-taiwan | 272 |
| 4 | The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) prices goods differently depending on how much carbon went into making them.
Mozambique tops the World Bank's CBAM Exposure Index, with aluminium accounting for nearly all its exports to the EU — and public debt near 70 percent of GDP. This is the compounding effect: a narrow export base, heavy carbon exposure, and little capacity to absorb the hit. This pattern isn't confined to a few unlucky countries.
Rather, this brief argues that CBAM should be understood as a question of economic resilience for the Global South, not just a trade or climate-policy issue: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/beyond-export-competitiveness-the-fiscal-risk-of-carbon-tariffs | 295 |
| 5 | For nearly six decades, France has been the leading proponent of European strategic autonomy.
As more European countries embrace this notion, driven by growing tensions between the United States and the European Union, it might seem as though France itself has become the obstacle.
This brief argues that as the transatlantic relationship shifts from an American-led security framework to a European-led one, its success will depend on member states aligning with collective European interests rather than narrow national interests: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/the-french-paradox-of-european-strategic-autonomy | 480 |
| 6 | There appears to be no endgame in sight after four-and-a-half years of fighting in Ukraine, with peace negotiations making no progress in 2026.
This brief explains that although the war is at an obvious deadlock, whether this 'escalate to de-escalate' approach can force a peaceful solution remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the Russia-Ukraine war will end in an armistice or a peace agreement rather than a total victory for either side: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/russia-ukraine-war-frozen-front-burning-hinterland | 467 |
| 7 | At the 16th BRICS Health Ministers' Meeting, under India's chairmanship, traditional medicine received formal recognition for the first time.
For African countries, where traditional medicine is also widely practised, this presents an opportunity.
This brief argues that if India and African countries can build a shared ecosystem of research, regulation, education, manufacturing, and innovation in traditional medicine, this would create a new example of South-South scientific cooperation, economic diplomacy, and local industrial development: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/traditional-medicine-as-a-new-frontier-for-india-africa-cooperation | 463 |
| 8 | Around 7 in 10 smallholders say a lack of formal finance has limited their ability to invest in practices that build climate resilience.
Since 2019, Dvara E-Registry has run KhetScore, an alternate credit score that lets a lender assess farmers by what their land does rather than what they own.
Having lent ₹215 crore, roughly US$22 million, to more than 42,500 farmers, this brief explains how, through machine-learning models, land title can stop being the test — so that the person who farms can be the person who borrows: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/global-ai-impact-commons-stories-khetscore | 547 |
| 9 | The core of AI competition has shifted.
From model capability to infrastructure buildout, where private capital, not government, is the principal driver.
Even with concerns about an AI bubble, investment in data centre infrastructure is projected to reach US$7 trillion by 2030.
This brief argues that the key question is not who invents the most advanced AI, but where it is built, who finances it, and under whose terms it can be deployed at scale: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/who-builds-wins-the-trillion-dollar-contest-for-ai-infrastructure | 492 |
| 10 | Recent US tariffs have adversely impacted Indian firms and workers, creating significant uncertainty.
India's Economic Survey 2025-26 documents how the Trade Policy Uncertainty Index rose 1,165.6 percent year-on-year in April 2025 — the highest since 1960.
This brief explains that while India has successfully implemented several trade agreements to diversify its export markets and reduce over-dependence on any single country, it needs a standing policy to support the workers and firms bearing the heaviest adjustment costs: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/why-india-needs-a-national-labour-adjustment-assistance-policy | 486 |
| 11 | Semi-synthetic cannabinoids (SSCs) can emerge through minor chemical changes to hemp-derived CBD, leaving some outside substance-specific controls.
India's main difficulty with its legislation is that the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act is that while it ensures legal certainty, the process of identification and legislation is slower than the process of creating new substances or 'designer drugs'.
This brief argues that India's response to the emergence of SSCs should shift from a reactive regulatory approach towards anticipatory governance: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/keeping-pace-with-semi-synthetic-cannabinoids-india-s-regulatory-challenge | 515 |
| 12 | China's real estate mogul Xu Jiayin received a life sentence, sealing the fate of the Evergrande founder, once counted as the nation's wealthiest businesspeople.
The Evergrande Group and its subsidiaries will also have to pay penalties totalling 15.82 billion yuan (approximately US$2.4 billion).
This brief examines how this marks Beijing's tougher stance on private capital, but China's property crisis shows that disciplining past excesses cannot by itself restore economic confidence: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/china-s-property-crisis-beyond-the-fall-of-evergrande | 567 |
| 13 | The Strait of Hormuz carries roughly a quarter of the world's seaborne oil trade and recent disruptions have exposed a vulnerability at the heart of globalisation.
The answer is not deglobalisation but to complement the rules-based maritime order with a resilient multimodal economic architecture.
This brief argues that India can no longer outsource its economic security, and must instead build it with trusted partners. The ancient Silk Roads were resilient because they were networks. The economic corridors of the future must be networks too: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/india-s-multimodal-corridors-building-resilient-supply-chains | 523 |
| 14 | Analysis of mixed classes found that teachers engaged boys twice as often as girls - calling on boys for harder questions, nodding to them, or pausing for boys' answers.
This 'hidden curriculum' has usually been examined within the sociology of education; however, its everyday transmission also makes it a teacher-development issue.
This brief explains that while India already asks teachers to be reflective, the next step is to embed reflexivity by giving them practical ways to examine assumptions, test them against evidence, and revise practice where needed: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/from-reflection-to-reflexivity-rethinking-teacher-development-in-india | 532 |
| 15 | India is emerging as a major producer and potential exporter of green ammonia.
However, with green ammonia emerging as the most widely adopted maritime fuel, it poses certain safety and emissions challenges that must be addressed.
This brief argues that while India is pushing to develop green ammonia production, equal emphasis is needed on establishing a regulatory framework to ensure that safety and sustainability are embedded in its commercial deployment: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/india-s-green-ammonia-ambitions-require-tailored-maritime-rules | 609 |

| 17 | South Asia has emerged as one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable regions.
The World Bank estimates that, under a high-emissions scenario, South Asia's agricultural output could decline by 7.5% by 2050, due to rising temperatures, water scarcity, irregular rainfall, droughts and floods.
This brief argues that as South Asia’s small-scale farmers face mounting climate risks, building resilience requires more than absorbing shocks—it demands adaptation, stronger institutions, finance and market access: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/absorb-adapt-transform-what-climate-resilience-means-for-south-asia-s-farmers | 567 |
| 18 | China's naval transformation is becoming a story not of ships and aircraft, but of the human capital required to operate them.
Beijing can build ships and aircraft faster than it can produce experienced carrier aviators.
This brief explains that the strategic competition in the Indian Ocean will not be determined by who launches more carriers, but by who can build the deeper ecosystem of people, training, doctrine and operational experience needed to make those carriers combat-effective: https://www.orfonline.org/research/china-s-aircraft-carrier-ambition-and-lessons-for-india | 585 |
| 19 | Land warfare and territorial conquest are increasingly being treated as irrelevant or of little consequence by prominent strategic and military experts.
This brief argues that while modern warfare has made territorial conquest harder, it has not made it irrelevant, with the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East underscoring why geography, strategic depth, and control of land still matter.
For India, this means force planning must balance technological superiority and precision with the mass, endurance, and territorial control needed to prevail on land: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/the-territory-question-why-geography-still-matters-in-modern-war | 789 |
| 20 | Over 96% of South Africa's imports and exports move by sea transportation.
With a coastline of about 2,800 kilometres, the country is a gateway to many landlocked Southern African nations.
Southern African Development Community (SADC) committees found that only 25% of transport delays occur due to physical infrastructure problems, while 75% stem from poor facilitation of existing infrastructure.
This brief argues that Ports may be the gateway to global trade, but South Africa’s economic reach depends on the corridors that connect them to inland and regional markets: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/from-port-to-market-strengthening-south-africa-s-hinterland-connectivity | 707 |
