Alaska Quake Sparks Tsunami Alert | Ola's Profit Pivot | IndiGo Mid-Air Scare | SBI's ₹45,000 Cr Fund Rush

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories.PAN-PAN in the Sky: IndiGo's Emergency Landing It started with a “PAN PAN PAN”—the aviation distress call for urgent but non-life-threatening situations. That's what the captain of IndiGo flight 6E 6271 declared mid-air on Wednesday, after detecting an engine snag. The Airbus A320neo, carrying 191 people from Delhi to Goa, made an emergency diversion to Mumbai, landing safely at 9:53 pm with emergency teams on standby. All passengers were safe. This incident adds to a growing list of technical issues for IndiGo: a bird strike on a Patna-Delhi flight and a technical snag on an Indore-Raipur route earlier this week. With monsoon weather disrupting flights across Delhi, India's busiest airport is under pressure—and so is IndiGo's reputation. “This is not a drill.” That was the warning after a 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Alaska near Sand Point, triggering a tsunami alert for parts of the Alaska Peninsula. The quake hit at 12:37 pm local time, just 20 km below the ocean floor—shallow enough to generate tsunami waves. The National Weather Service issued alerts from Kennedy Entrance to Unimak Pass, covering towns like Cold Bay and Kodiak. Alaska lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire, one of the world's most seismically active zones. Though no major damage has been reported, the tremors are a stark reminder of the region's vulnerability, echoing the devastating 1964 quake that killed over 250 people. After months of turbulence, Ola Electric's stock surged 20% this week—but it wasn't driven by earnings. The company's revenues halved, and losses widened in the latest quarter. What changed? Ola's auto business turned Ebitda-positive in June for the first time, thanks to stronger sales of its premium Gen-3 scooters and tighter cost controls. But serious headwinds remain: market share has dipped below 20%, regulatory hurdles continue, and customer complaints persist. While Ola has scaled back its ambitious battery manufacturing targets, it's betting big on a leaner, profitability-first strategy. The road ahead? Still bumpy—but at least the wheels are turning in a new direction. India's biggest lender is raising big money. State Bank of India (SBI) is planning to raise ₹45,000 crore in FY26 via bonds and equity. Its board just cleared ₹20,000 crore worth of Basel III bonds, and it launched its first QIP since 2018, setting a floor price of ₹811.05 per share. Though its capital adequacy stands strong at 14.25%, SBI wants dry powder to support future growth and match peers like HDFC Bank (19.6%). Experts say overall bond activity may slow this year amid weak credit growth and investor wariness around AT1 bonds post-Yes Bank. Public sector banks, including SBI, are increasingly leaning into QIPs—not just to raise capital, but also to meet government disinvestment goals. India has just beaten a major climate target—five years ahead of time. Over 50% of the country's power capacity now comes from non-fossil fuel sources, fulfilling a key Paris Agreement commitment well before the 2030 deadline. Renewable energy now makes up 48.3% of total capacity, with nuclear taking the figure over the 50% mark. To further this momentum, the Cabinet has greenlit massive investments: NTPC can invest up to ₹20,000 crore via its green arm, while NLC India can invest ₹7,000 crore through its renewables unit. Experts caution that while capacity is growing fast, actual generation from renewables—especially solar and wind—still lags at just 13%. The next frontier? Turning that potential into real, round-the-clock clean energy output.

President Donald Trump is scheduled to travel to central Texas today to tour damage of the devastating July 4th weekend floods. More than 100 people have been confirmed dead, and nearly 200 are still missing a week later. As people in the region continue to mourn their loved ones and assess the destruction, there has been a lot of finger-pointing over whether more could have been done to alert people about the flood risks. If staffing cuts at the National Weather Service played a role, and who's to blame for the mounting death toll?

Authorities were still searching for survivors of the deadly July 4 floods in Central Texas when some Democrats started asking whether President Donald Trump's cuts at the National Weather Service exacerbated the disaster. Republicans, including Texas Senator Ted Cruz, accused those Democrats of “partisan finger-pointing.” How early is too early to talk about accountability? And is a nuanced policy conversation to prevent future tragedies possible in our political climate? Democratic strategist Rebecca Pearcey joins on the left, Republican strategist Mike Dubke joins on the right, and host David Greene holds down the center. Five years after the pandemic, American kids are still struggling in reading and math. Glimmers of hope are shining in red states like Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. What are those states doing right?

Send us a textEver noticed how a nation that engineers elaborate floating sanctuaries for alligators can't seem to design a humane immigration policy? Darrell McClain scathing commentary "America's Grand Tragic Comedy" dissects this jarring contradiction with surgical precision, revealing the absurdity of a country that provides reptiles with temperature-controlled pools and specialized diets while human beings in detention centers sleep on concrete floors and lack basic hygiene.The stark contrast serves as a powerful metaphor for contemporary America – a place where morning shows marvel at quirky alligator fortresses moments before showing footage of crying children separated from their parents during ICE raids. McClain argues these aren't simply unfortunate policy missteps but symptoms of a deeper national disease: the belief that cruelty, when draped in bureaucracy or spectacle, becomes justifiable.Amy Goodman and Dennis Moynihan follow with a devastating report on the Guadalupe River flood in Texas that claimed at least 120 lives, with over 150 still missing. Their investigation reveals how climate policy failures directly contributed to this tragedy. Despite warnings from the National Weather Service, local officials admitted they had no warning system in place. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has gutted critical climate programs while extending billions in tax breaks to fossil fuel companies – policies that virtually guarantee more deadly extreme weather events in the future.Both segments illuminate how American contradictions cost lives. Whether building alligator fortresses while tearing apart immigrant families or signing fossil fuel-friendly legislation while communities drown, these juxtapositions reveal a nation that has lost its moral compass. The question remains: will we confront the rot at the heart of our systems, or continue engineering new absurdities, each more grotesque than the last?

Why were search and rescue teams not allowed to set up near the flooding until days after it started? Because Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem decided she needs to personally authorize all costly contracts. Her policy slowed down FEMAs response during a critical time.

In the early morning of July 4th, the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning, but two hours later, the swollen Guadalupe River swept camp children out of their cabins at Camp Mystic. A wall of water then flooded the Hill Country and most of Central Texas, eventually killing more than 110 people, including dozens of children. Another 170 people are still missing, and the victims are strewn from Kerr County down to Sandy Creek. But flash floods are familiar to this area, known as “flash flood alley,” so why did the July Fourth floods catch so many off-guard? From missing warning systems to critical staffing gaps at the National Weather Service, spotty cell phone service and just plain complacency, veteran KXAN Meteorologist Jim Spencer joins host Nikki Davaughn to examine what could have gone wrong and how Texans can better prepare for the next flash flood.

Over 80 people—including children—lost their lives in the devastating Texas floods. But this tragedy wasn't just about extreme weather—it was the direct result of MAGA policy. On this episode of democracyish LIVE, Waj and Danielle expose how Donald's April cuts to the National Weather Service forced out key forecasters, just weeks before hurricane season. With over $100 billion redirected to his private military agenda, public safety systems like disaster response, Medicaid, and food aid are being gutted—and Americans are paying the price. This is no accident. It's a warning. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
