Traffic around India produces angry outburst (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tirade

'angry outburst' is the definition.
(a tirade is an angry, critical speech)

'traffic around india' is the wordplay.
'traffic' becomes 'trade' (traffic can mean illegal trade).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'trade' placed around 'i' is 'TIRADE'.

'produces' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tirade that I've seen before include "Long, abusive speech" , "Verbal broadside" , "Erode or melt (material)" , "Flow of invective" , "Prolonged abusive speech" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
