It's Tuesday, March 18th, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. India's Solar Growth Faces Execution Challenges Despite crossing 200 GW in renewable capacity, India's solar energy adoption remains slow, contributing under 10% to its electricity mix. While solar capacity surged from 3.7 GW in 2015 to over 100 GW, issues like weak transmission infrastructure, land acquisition delays, and hesitant power distributors persist. Moreover, the US SEC is probing Adani Green and Azure Power over alleged bribery in solar contracts. Experts suggest grid modernization, better state-Centre coordination, and rooftop solar expansion as key solutions to achieve the 500 GW renewables target by 2030. ABD Bets on Premium Liquor Amid Market Slowdown With India's liquor market cooling, Allied Blenders and Distillers (ABD) is focusing on premiumization. The maker of Officer's Choice aims to raise its “prestige-and-above” segment share from 42% to 50% and launch two to three brands next fiscal. Managing Director Alok Gupta sees macroeconomic headwinds but remains bullish on high-end spirits like gin brand Zoya and single malt Arthaus. ABD is also expanding production and partnering with Ranveer Singh to drive brand growth, targeting double-digit value gains. India Braces for US Tariff Impact, Eyes Trade Diversification India's exports to the US may dip 3-3.5% if Washington enforces reciprocal tariffs in April. With a $35.3 billion trade surplus, India is under scrutiny as the US targets nations with higher import duties. However, India's FTAs and diversification into global supply chains could soften the impact. The US's 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports might even benefit India by easing competition. As US economic growth slows, India must prioritize value-added exports and alternative trade routes via West Asia. UNO Minda's EV Expansion Faces Market Realities India's auto industry grew 7% YoY in Q3FY25, but weak passenger and commercial vehicle sales weighed on momentum. EV registrations jumped 37%, boosting component maker UNO Minda, whose stock initially soared 60% on its EV push. However, with EVs contributing under 6% to revenue, shares corrected 30%. Minda continues investing in high-voltage powertrain components and expanding in Indonesia. While rising costs and debt pose challenges, rural two-wheeler demand and operational efficiencies could aid long-term growth. Meta Battles CCI Over WhatsApp Data Sharing Meta is challenging a Competition Commission of India (CCI) order banning WhatsApp from sharing user data with Facebook and Instagram, along with a ₹213 crore fine. The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) will decide on May 13 whether to hear Meta's appeal before or after India's new digital data protection rules take effect. Meta argues that the forthcoming framework makes the CCI's ruling redundant, but regulators insist the case should proceed now. If NCLAT delays proceedings, it would mark a legal win for Meta. However, with India tightening data laws, Big Tech's data dominance remains under scrutiny.

When you join our Lez Hang Out family on Patreon you will gain instant access to 23 and counting full-length bonus episodes, ad-free weekly episodes, mp3 downloads of all our original songs, an invite to our exclusive Discord channel, and more! We can't wait to see you there. Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that wants to welcome you to the house of dykes! This week Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Juno Rosenhaus, curator of dyke artists and founder of the Dyke+ ArtHaus (@dykearthaus), a dyke-forward and wholly inclusive space in Philadelphia for queer and trans artists (of all kinds) to come together, create art, and build community. We talk with Juno about the process of creating the ArtHaus, the inherently political nature of the word ‘dyke', and our personal experiences with vulva shame. At its core, the ArtHaus is an extremely political space, with foundations in abolitionism, feminism, and intersectionality. It strives to be an anti-capitalist space that increases accessibility to art for all and serves as a safe space for everyone in the community. Although the ArtHaus centers dyke artists over 40, anyone of any age who identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community is welcome. Whether you visit the Dyke+ ArtHaus for an artist residency, a weekend getaway in the guest room (that reportedly contains PORTALS TO OTHER WORLDS), an afternoon jaunt to see the current exhibit, “Twenty (Dyke Artists) over Forty (Years Old)”, or for a community event like the upcoming anti-capitalist gift-making workshop, you are sure to find yourself inspired. In addition to learning all about the Dyke+ ArtHaus, we also spoke with Juno about her personal art project, “I Won't Be Pretty For You: Vulvas Queered”, a series of varied and inclusive photographs of vulvas done in a fine art style to combat vulva shame, promote body and sex positivity, and normalize vulvas of all kinds (and don't worry, the project is trans inclusive). Apparently vulva circles, where you literally sit in a circle with your friends and look at your vulvas in little mirrors and talk about them together, used to exist in the 70's and we are deeply upset that this is no longer a common practice #bringbackvulvacircles! We are heading to France from March 31st through April 6th for this year's BIG GAY TRIP! Join Ellie and Leigh for a vacay to Bordeaux and Paris where we will tour a winery, explore the catacombs, and dance the night away at the best gay bars. Make a 25% deposit by January 1st in order to secure your spot on the trip. Space is limited, so sign up soon! Give us your own answers to our Q & Gay on Instagram and follow along on Facebook, TikTok, and BlueSky @lezhangoutpod. You can find your fav tol and smol hosts Ellie & Leigh at @elliebrigida and @lshfoster respectively. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
