US blockade strikes third ship with Indian crew An Indian crew-manned, Guinea-Bissau-flagged asphalt tanker, MV Jalveer, was attacked by the American military off the coast of Oman. This is the third ship with an Indian crew to be targeted in the last four days. While there were no casualties on Thursday, an earlier attack killed three Indian seafarers. The government said it has strongly taken up the matter with the US. This is the first public acknowledgement of the US Navy targeting ships with Indian crew. A Palau-flagged oil tanker, Marivex, carrying 24 Indian seafarers, was disabled by US forces on June 8. All crew members were safely rescued. On June 10, the US struck another Palau-flagged tanker, Settebello, killing three of the 24 Indian sailors on board. Following the attack on Wednesday, the External Affairs Ministry (MEA) summoned US Charge d'Affaires Jason Meeks and handed him a demarche, or diplomatic note of protest. 75 IPOs unlock $31 billion worth of shares by Sept-end Shareholder lock-ins in 75 recently listed companies are set to expire between June and September, opening a fresh window for private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) investors to monetise holdings through block deals, with exits expected to be staggered amid volatile market conditions. Data compiled by Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research show shares worth about $31 billion becoming eligible for trading by September 28. The lock-ins for Meesho expired this week, opening up 3,083 million shares, equivalent to 68 per cent of its outstanding equity. Aequs's lock-in expiry opened 146 million shares on Tuesday. Next week, 923 million shares of Vishal Mega Mart and 344 million shares of ICICI Pru AMC become eligible to trade. Other unlocks for June include Wakefit Innovations, Corona Remedies, Nephrocare Health Services, Oswal Pumps and Sai Life Sciences. These expiries come at a time when volatility in equity markets has slowed the pace of fresh listings, making secondary transactions a key exit route for pre-IPO investors. While half of these companies are still trading at a premium, almost all are in the red from their highs since listing. Petrol blended with 22-30% ethanol exempted from central excise Petrol with ethanol blending between 22-30 per cent will be exempted from Central Excise Duty. Finance Ministry has issued multiple notifications for that. However, Oil Ministry said that roll out of higher blends will only be done after extensive testing and consultation. As on date, petrol with blending up to 10 per cent is exempted from Central Excise Duty. For unbranded petrol, Central Excise Duty is ₹11.90 per litre, while for branded it is ₹13.10 per litre. The price of petrol (including ethanol blended petrol) has been market determined with effect from June 26, 2010. Since then, oil marketing companies (OMCs) take appropriate decisions on pricing of petrol based on, inter alia, international product prices and domestic market conditions. According to a notification, there will be NIL duty for 22 per cent ethanol blended petrol consisting, by volume, of 78 per cent motor spirit, (commonly known as petrol), on which the appropriate duties of excise have been paid and of 22 per cent ethanol on which the appropriate Central tax, State tax, Union territory tax or Integrated tax, have been paid. It should conform to the Bureau of Indian Standards specification Similar provision will be made for 25 per cent, 27 per cent and 30 per cent ethanol blended petrol. Automakers move to cut prices on British-built luxury cars ahead of India-UK FTA implementation Luxury automakers are beginning to pre-empt the proposed India-UK free trade agreement by slashing prices on British-built imported cars, creating expected customer savings ranging from about ₹8 lakh on the MINI Cooper S to ₹75 lakh on the Range Rover SV, and as much as ₹3.32 crore on the McLaren 750S Spider as companies move early to capture demand ahead of a formal treaty implementation. For brands such as Bentley, Aston Martin and Rolls-Royce, the agreement could potentially trigger price reductions ranging from ₹1 crore to more than ₹3 crore depending on engine size and model specifications. But the proposed pact is also creating an unusual inversion in India's premium automobile market: while some of the country's most expensive petrol-powered supercars and luxury SUVs are suddenly becoming dramatically cheaper, premium electric vehicles and hybrids remain excluded from the benefits and will continue attracting steep import duties for years.

MF equity inflows fall 40% m-o-m to one year low amid uncertainty Volatility in equity markets and concerns over economic growth dampened inflows into mutual fund schemes, including SIPs, in May. Equity inflows fell to a one-year low, dropping 40 per cent month-on-month (m-o-m) to ₹22,908 crore in May from ₹38,440 crore in April, as investor sentiment was hit by a market downturn driven by persistent foreign portfolio outflows and heightened volatility, according to AMFI data released on Wednesday. Hybrid schemes inflow nearly halved m-o-m to ₹10,560 crore ( ₹20,565 crore), while debt funds registered an outflow of ₹96,949 crore as against an inflow of ₹2.47 lakh crore in May. Meta and Reliance Industries partner to develop 168 MW, AI-enabled data centre in Gujarat Meta Inc is set to have its own 168-MW capacity AI-enabled data centre in Jamnagar set up by Reliance Industries in India within two years. The new data centre, separate from the 1 GW data centre announced by Reliance in 2025, will act as part of Meta's global infrastructure, supporting its core business and AI compute needs. As the first built-to-suit data centre capacity in India for Meta, the project underlines India's emergence as a global hub for AI infrastructure. Meta will lease capacity from the facility, expanding the company's global infrastructure, supporting its core business and AI compute needs while Reliance Industries will provide end-to-end services for the data centre lifecycle. Starlink licensing in India stuck amidst geopolitical strains Industry experts estimate geopolitical developments to have soured Starlink's chances of getting licensing approvals in India, even as the company rubbishes “unsubstantiated claims” of a regulatory freeze. Following news reports that the Indian government had frozen approvals for Starlink's commercial operations, Lauren Dreyer, Vice President of Company Business Operations stated on X, “Starlink remains in active and productive discussions with the Government of India contrary to misleading stories based upon unsubstantiated claims from anonymous sources.” However, industry stakeholders speaking to businessline said Starlink's approval procedure which was considered smooth-sailing until last year has hit a rut in terms of security checks. Many attributed this to the geopolitical developments, particularly in terms of the India-US relations.

1. Government forgoes over ₹1.23 lakh crore during 78-day fuel price freeze The government provided nearly ₹1.23 lakh crore in support to state-run oil marketing companies to freeze fuel prices for 78 days following the West Asia crisis, top officials said on Tuesday. Concurrently, the Fertiliser Ministry has sought a near-100 per cent increase in subsidy support over its budgeted outlay, that amounts to an additional allocation of approximately ₹3.4 lakh crore. The substantial fiscal cushion provided to the energy sector underscores the intensity of the external shocks hitting India's import bills. “Oil Marketing Companies are still incurring ₹650 crore per day loss for selling fuel at lower rate than the prevailing global crude prices,” said a senior official. The financial cushion was necessary even though oil marketing companies raised retail petrol and diesel prices four times since May 15, totalling a hike of ₹7.50–₹8 per litre. Previously, the government had reduced excise duty on both fuels by ₹10 a litre on March 27. 2. TCS signals hiring slowdown; AI agents to match human workforce Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will have as many AI agents and workers as its human workforce within the next three years, Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran said on Monday, underscoring the company's growing focus on artificial intelligence as a key driver of future growth. Speaking at TCS' 31st Annual General Meeting, Chandrasekaran said, “I predict that over the next three years, TCS will have as many AI agents as human employees.” Highlighting the scale of AI adoption within the company, he added, “The day is not very far when TCS will have equal number of AI agents or AI workers as their physical workers.” Chandrasekaran noted that TCS is already investing extensively in AI agents across internal operations, solution frameworks and external operations as part of its broader strategy to capitalise on the rapid evolution of enterprise AI. 3. Telcos oppose separate authorisation for V2V, V2X communications Telecom operators, including Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea have opposed the separate service authorisation for Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) or vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, particularly where such communication could be enabled through existing licensed telecom networks (through cellular networks or through localised road-side infrastructure deployed for intelligent transport and road-safety applications). In a submission to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), the telcos said that the regulatory framework for spectrum assignment for V2I/C-V2X services should be based on licensed, interference-protected and IMT-integrated use of the 5.9 GHz band, rather than a fragmented or licence-exempt model. 4. Zepto co-founders questioned by ED in FEMA case Zepto co-founders Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra have been questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in April in a Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) case, with investigators examining their overseas investments, audited financial statements, shareholding patterns, loans and guarantees, and income-tax returns to ascertain contravention of law. Zepto, the quick-commerce firm which is coming with an IPO, disclosed this in its updated Draft Red Herring Prospectus (UDRHP). At the same time, Zepto wrote in its draft IPO document that they have not received any further communication from the ED after submitting documents and information sought. “We cannot assure you there will not be future inquiries or that these could escalate to investigations, legal proceedings or any possible penalties,” they disclosed.
