Debt Ratio At Billionaire Gautam Adani's Green Firm Needs 'Watching'

Aug 26, 2022

A crucial financial indicator for Adani Green Energy Ltd. is raising red flags as its billionaire owner piles on additional debt to become a powerhouse in the renewable energy sector. According to Sharon Chen, a Bloomberg Intelligence analyst, the debt-to-capital ratio of the Gautam Adani-owned company has risen to 95.3%, which is on the "upper side" for a private corporation. Other elements that require strict attention include the company's financial and capital expenditure plans, according to Chen. "For a company in a growth phase, we would be more comfortable looking at a 70% level or up to 80%," she said. Adani Green is worth paying particular attention to. By 2030, Asia's wealthiest man has committed to investing roughly $70 billion throughout the whole green energy supply chain. His conglomerate aims to become the world's biggest renewable power producer by the end of this decade. That makes Adani a key player in India's quest to become carbon net-zero by 2070. Chen confirmed that the Adani Group has a history of attracting outside investors and that foreign businesses are very interested in India. Adani is right where it should be, she remarked. However, Adani Green, which has Asia's second-worst debt-to-equity ratio of 2,021%, is one of the most leveraged businesses in the tycoon's empire. The price of the company's 4.375% September 2024 dollar bonds is close to

Aug 24, 2022

The first look for Haddi, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui, was presented by the film's creators on Tuesday. Fans quickly called attention to Nawazuddin's startling likeness to Archana Puran Singh, nevertheless, after they removed the post. The actor doesn't appear to be him in the movie poster. He can be seen in a shimmering outfit, dressed as a woman. Because of his side-parted hair, some fans thought it might be Archana Puran Singh. The seasoned actress responded to the comparisons in an interview with Hindustan Times by calling it a "great compliment" to be compared to him. She stated: "These analogies are being made because of my hair, which has come to represent me. I wore this side-parted hairstyle during The Kapil Sharma Show's opening segment." All I can say is it's a huge compliment to be compared to Nawaz in ANY way possible." Helmed by Akshat Ajay Sharma, Haddi is a noir revenge drama starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead.

Rupee Gains on Strong Dollar Inflows

Aug 24, 2022

Rupee Gains on Strong Dollar Inflows, Bucking the Weakening Trend in Asian Peers On Wednesday, the rupee strengthened against the dollar, breaking a three-session losing run and defying a wider global sell-off in risky assets. This improvement was fueled by strong capital inflows and dollar sales by exporters. According to Bloomberg, the rupee recently traded at 79.8150 against the dollar, down from its previous session's finish of 79.8650. The rupee was currently quoted at 79.81 vs the US dollar, up 2 paise from the closing price on Tuesday. According to Reuters, the price of the Indian rupee increased from the previous session's exchange rate of 79.8625 to 79.77 per US dollar. The value of the local currency has decreased by 0.15 percent since last week's start. While the offshore Chinese yuan has dropped by around 2% and the Korean won has dropped by 3 per cent, and the Indonesian rupiah has decreased by 1.2 per cent.  Asian currencies have suffered as a result of the Federal Reserve's aggressive stance and a decrease in interest rates at the Chinese central bank. The dollar index has gained by about 3% since last Monday. Anindya Banerjee, Head of Research for FX and Interest Rates at Kotak Securities, told Reuters that the rupee's outperformance can be ascribed to foreign equities portfolio inflows and hopes that the Reserve Bank of India will protect the 8

Aug 23, 2022

In her cross-examination before a special court in Mumbai on Monday, Rabia Khan, the mother of Bollywood actor Jiah Khan, denied allegations that her daughter had previously attempted to harm herself by slicing her wrists. In June 2013, Jiah Khan's body was discovered at her apartment. In the case that the police and the Central Bureau of Investigation were looking into, actor Sooraj Pancholi, who was dating the 25-year-old actor, was arrested for aiding suicide. Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab's kid, Sooraj Pancholi, is currently on bail and living in Bollywood. Before Special Judge A S Sayyad on Monday, Pancholi's attorney Prashant Patil cross-examined Rabia Khan. Mr. Patil cited Rabia Khan's admission to Mumbai police that Jiah Khan had previously tried to harm herself by slicing her wrists three times. Rabia Khan disputed this and stated, "I never said it. This kind of stuff didn't happen. I was made to say that by the police. It is incorrect if the defense (Sooraj Pancholi's attorney) asserts that my daughter committed suicide." After several burglars attempted to steal her watch outside their home, she claimed Jiah Khan damaged her wrist. Rabia Khan also responded to Mr. Patil's claims that Jiah Khan experienced childhood trauma while living in London.

Death Knell for Cong? With Anand Sharma's Exit, Gandhis Lose Battle

Aug 22, 2022

There can be no doubt that I am dedicated to the Congress doctrine, which is ingrained in my DNA. I had no other choice, though, as a self-respecting person, given the ongoing isolation and insults. With these sentiments, seasoned Congressman Anand Sharma announced his resignation from the top steering committee in charge of overseeing preparations for the upcoming Himachal Pradesh state elections. Days before to Sharma's resignation, Ghulam Nabi Azad, another G-23 member and member of the Grand Old Party's dissident wing, resigned from a similar committee established for Jammu and Kashmir. Following Azad's departure, several members of the same committee resigned. Despite the dismissive attitude of the Congress' top brass in Delhi toward Azad and Sharma's resignations, which they chose to ignore, the developments show a lack of confidence in the Gandhi’s and also serve as a sign that not all is well within the party, which has been battling to turn around its electoral setbacks and maintain its internal order. It's interesting that Sharma's departure occurs as the Congress begins the selection process for its new president. Check the records, the leader advised News18.com. Have I ever been invited to a meeting? Was I even asked for my opinion before being appointed chairman? They did not also consult Mr. Azad. For many of us in the G-23, this is a frequent slur. In a

The largest container port in the UK's workforce has started what it claims will be an eight-day strike, making them the most recent employees in the nation to do so in order to demand more compensation amid growing inflation and the skyrocketing cost of living. On Sunday, about 2,000 employees at the Port of Felixstowe, which receives more than half of the country's incoming freight in the form of four million containers annually from 2,000 ships, went on strike. With only one out of every five trains operating in the UK on Saturday due to a railway workers' strike, the conflict has stoked concerns about supply chain issues at a time when the transportation sector is already suffering from work stoppages. Later this month, postal workers also want to strike for four days. The telecoms giant BT recently faced its stoppage in decades. Amazon warehouse staff, criminal lawyers and refuse collectors are among those who have staged walkouts in recent weeks. Bobby Morton, the national officer for docks at the Unite union, which represents the striking Felixstowe workers, told the source that "strike action will cause huge disruption and will generate massive shockwaves throughout the UK's supply chain, but this dispute is entirely of the company's own making." "The corporation has had every chance to provide our members a fair offer, but has decided not to do so," the statement

Aug 22, 2022

Imran Khan, a former Pakistani prime minister, had a FIR filed against him under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA). While speaking at a rally in Islamabad, Imran Khan was arrested for threatening a judge and two high-ranking officials. Hours after the former prime minister attacked state institutions and made provocative remarks during a public protest staged at the F-9 Park late on Saturday night, Pakistan's electronic media authority barred satellite television channels from airing live speeches of Imran Khan. Imran's recorded address would only be allowed to air if an adequate delay mechanism was in place to provide effective monitoring and editorial control, according to the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA). The PEMRA stated in its directive that it has been noticed that PTI Chairman Imran Khan consistently targets state institutions in his speeches and statements by making unfounded accusations and spreading hate speech by making provocative statements about state officers and institutions, which is detrimental to maintaining law and order and is likely to disturb public peace and tranquilly. In his remarks to the public on Saturday, Khan vowed to bring lawsuits against senior police officers, a female magistrate, the Pakistani Election Commission, and political rivals over the treatment of his aide Shahbaz Gill, who was detained last week on sedition-

Imran Khan’s attack on Pak army: ‘History will blame you…’

Aug 19, 2022

Imran Khan, a former prime minister of Pakistan, attacked the army with harsh words on Thursday. He also called on the military establishment, or "neutrals," and warned that "history would judge them for what they did to the country." Khan was cited by the local media site The Dawn as asking, "I want to ask the neutrals today, do you know where the country is heading?" Imran Khan, the leader of the PTI party, continued, "How can the country and economy advance when you don't even know what will happen in the next 2-3 months?" Imran Khan came up with the name "neutrals" after the army pledged not to get involved in politics following his removal as prime minister in a no-confidence vote in April. “No matter how many times you call yourself neutral, history will blame you for what you did with the country,” he said, hinting at the army's lack of support for him during his removal. The army should "examine their policies" while there is still time, the former Pakistani prime minister also advised. He was quoted by the local media as saying, "You should review and think that there are 220 million people in this country over 60% of the population is young, and they need work.

Govt hikes windfall profit tax on export of diesel

Aug 19, 2022

On Thursday, the government increased the windfall profit tax on diesel exports to Rs 7 per liter and reinstated an export tax on jet fuel, although it reduced the tax on locally produced crude oil to keep pace with softening rates. According to a finance ministry announcement, the government increased the windfall profit tax on diesel exports at the third fortnightly review from Rs 5 per liter to Rs 7 per liter and introduced a Rs 2 per liter tax on ATF exports. The government eliminated the ATF (Aviation Turbine Fuel) export windfall profit tax earlier this month. Additionally, the levy on locally produced crude oil has been reduced from Rs 17,750 to Rs 13,000 per ton. The tax on exports was increased when cracks or margins increased, but the tax on domestic oil production was decreased as global oil prices fell to their lowest level in six months. On July 1, India introduced its first windfall profit tax, joining an increasing number of countries that tax energy companies' higher-than-average profits. The profit margins of both oil producers and refiners have declined since then due to the cooling of the global oil market. On July 1, export taxes of Rs. 13 per liter for fuel and ATF and Rs. 6 per liter (USD 12 per barrel) for gasoline and ATF were imposed (USD 26 a barrel). On domestic crude output, a windfall profit tax of Rs 23,250 per ton (about $40 per barrel) was

Monkeypox: Govt to hold meeting today

Aug 04, 2022

After India announces 9 instances of monkeypox, the government will arrange a conference with specialists. The Center has called a conference of leading medical professionals for Thursday because the threat of monkeypox is growing and a new strategy is urgently needed. L. Swasticharan, director of Emergency Medical Relief (EMR), a department of the health ministry in charge of resolving public health emergencies of global or national importance, will serve as the meeting's chair. Additionally present will be Dr. Pavana Murthy from the World Health Organization (WHO). Nine instances of monkeypox have been recorded in India; five are from Kerala and four, including a 31-year-old Nigerian lady who tested positive on Wednesday, are from Delhi. Only five of the total cases that have been documented so far had a recent history of travel overseas, according to a top official in the health ministry. Four individuals who tested positive for monkeypox in Delhi had not recently travelled overseas. This may imply that the infection is widespread, particularly in high-risk populations. In order to stop the infection from spreading throughout the population, it is crucial to update the guidelines, the official stated. According to a recent study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), the symptoms of monkeypox exhibited in the present outbreak are very different from those seen in

India's lack of rain creates a new threat to the world's food supply

Aug 03, 2022

Since India, by far the world's largest exporter, has had a lack of rain in some areas, planting areas for rice have shrunk to their smallest size in almost three years. This could pose a new challenge to the world's food supply. At a time when nations are struggling with skyrocketing food prices and rife inflation, India's ability to produce rice is in danger. Due to a shortage of rainfall in some areas, particularly West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh, which account for a quarter of India's output, the total area planted with rice has decreased by 13% thus far this season. Traders are concerned that a decline in rice production could make India's battle against inflation more difficult and lead to export restrictions. For the billions of people who depend on the food staple, such a decision will have significant ramifications. In order to protect food security and maintain local prices, the government has already restricted wheat and sugar exports from India, which accounts for 40% of the world's rice trade. India's rice prices have increased, which reflects worries over production. Due to insufficient rain and increased demand from Bangladesh, prices of some types have jumped by more than 10% in the past two weeks in major growing states like West Bengal, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh, according to Mukesh Jain, a director of rice shipper Sponge Enterprises Pvt. Export costs could in

Aug 02, 2022

Beginning on August 1, the Income Tax department has decreased the window of time for e-verification or hard copy submission of the ITR-V, post-filing taxpayer returns, from 120 days to 30 days. The agency announced the modification in the timeframe in a notification on July 29. The final step in the return filing procedure is ITR e-verification; if it is not done within the allotted period, an ITR is regarded as invalid. "It has been decided that the time limit for e-verification or submission of ITR-V shall now be 30 days from the date of transmitting/uploading the data of return, with respect to any electronic transmission of return electronically, data on or after the day this notification comes into effect. It said the order comes into effect from August 1. Until recently, after filing an Income Tax Return (ITR), you had 120 days from the date of uploading the ITR to e-verify the ITR or mail the ITR-V.

Aug 02, 2022

Ahead of a visit from a US official, Taiwan "prepares for war" with China and activates its military. According to reports, Taiwan has activated high alert on its military forces as it "prepares for war" with China over the visit of US lawmaker Nancy Pelosi. In response to US senator Nancy Pelosi's rumored visit, Taiwan reportedly activated its military on high alert and cancelled the leave of some officials and soldiers as it "prepared for war" with China. After receiving a high-level briefing, the military reportedly mobilized the air defense troops to "immediately prepare for war." This occurs during Nancy Pelosi's trip of four Asian nations, which started on Monday. Pelosi will arrive on Tuesday night, according to Taiwanese local media, becoming the highest-ranking elected US official to visit in more than 25 years. The purported visit by a US official will infuriate China, which sees Taiwan as its own territory and has repeatedly threatened "severe consequences" if the report is true. "Whoever plays with fire will burn to death by it. We would like to remind the US that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) would never stand idly by and that we are fully prepared for any scenario "Zhao Lijian, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, was reported by AP.
