Indian tourists take a Shikara ride during a boat rally at Dal Lake in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on June 18, 2025. Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party President Altaf Bukhari leads a boat rally at Dal Lake for the revival of tourism in Kashmir two days after the Jammu and Kashmir government reopens 16 tourist destinations for tourists and locals. Over 40 tourist destinations across Jammu and Kashmir are closed for tourists and locals following the April 22 terrorist attack in Baisaran meadows of Pahalgam tourist destination, 100 km south of Srinagar. The Pahalgam terror attack leads to the cancellation of nearly 80% of tourist bookings in the valley, delivering a severe blow to the tourism sector, which contributes significantly to the region's GDP. This setback occurs at a time when the region witnesses back-to-back tourism booms and hopes for a bumper tourist season this year as well. At least 26 tourists are killed on April 22 when gunmen open fire on a group of tourists in Pahalgam, in what officials describe as the most serious civilian attack in the region in recent years. Meanwhile, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi tells U.S. President Donald Trump late on Tuesday that a ceasefire between India and Pakistan after a four-day conflict in May is achieved through talks between the two militaries and not U.S. mediation, India's senior-most diplomat says. Donald Trump says last month that the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbors agree to a ceasefire after talks mediated by the U.S., and that the hostilities end after he urges the countries to focus on trade instead of war.

Indian tourists take a Shikara ride on the waters of Dal Lake during dusk in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on June 14, 2025. The Pahalgam terror attack leads to the cancellation of nearly 80% of tourist bookings in the valley, delivering a severe blow to the tourism sector, which contributes significantly to the region's GDP. This setback occurs at a time when the region witnesses back-to-back tourism booms and hopes for a bumper tourist season this year as well. At least 26 tourists are killed on April 22 when gunmen open fire on a group of tourists in Pahalgam, in what officials describe as the most serious civilian attack in the region in recent years. In response, on May 7, the Indian Armed Forces launch 'Operation Sindoor', targeting alleged terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The terror attack leads to an India-Pakistan conflagration from May 7 that ends in a ceasefire announced on May 10. The tourism bodies in Kashmir, including the Chamber of Tourism and the Trade and Industry Katra (CTTIK), report an abrupt drop in tourist arrivals, stressing that this creates an economic void across multiple sectors linked directly and indirectly to tourism.

Tensions between India and Pakistan escalate, sparking fear and uncertainty across the region. The nuclear-armed rivals move closer to military confrontation after Islamabad closes its airspace to Indian aircraft and warns that any attempt by New Delhi to interfere with water supplies under a decades-old treaty would be considered an act of war. In response, India reiterates its accusations that Pakistan continues to support ''cross-border terrorism,'' a claim Pakistan denies.

A man rides an Ola Electric Mobility Ltd. electric scooter along a road in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 18, 2025. Ola Electric, once a beacon of innovation in India's electric vehicle sector, now grapples with significant setbacks that threaten its future. Founded in 2010, the company expands rapidly from ride-hailing services to electric scooters and battery production, attracting substantial investments from global giants like SoftBank and Tiger Global. However, following a record initial public offering (IPO) in 2024, Ola's electric scooter sales plummet, raising concerns about its viability in a highly competitive market. The company's market value drops by nearly 70% over the following seven months. Sales fall to less than half of what they were in April 2024, with February 2025 registrations dropping to just 8,647 units--a 74.5% year-on-year decline.
