India's corporate sector is preparing for a more challenging financial environment as rising debt costs, a weakening rupee and global uncertainty begin affecting businesses across industries. The Adani Group and SP Group are refinancing massive debt obligations, while companies like Apple and Oppo are facing hurdles in expanding operations in India. Employees at major IT firms such as TCS are also feeling the pressure through lower variable pay and modest salary hikes. Meanwhile, the falling rupee and rising fuel prices continue to strain oil companies and inflation outlooks. The story also highlights India's renewed focus on coal gasification and long-term energy security. Find all this and more in the latest edition of Moneycontrol Editor's Picks.
Week 20 marks a decisive shift in the global ship recycling market as diplomatic momentum around Hormuz stalls, Brent crude rebounds above USD 107, and freight markets continue strengthening across the dry bulk sector. Despite last week's temporary optimism surrounding a possible ceasefire framework, owners are still holding onto older vessels as trading earnings remain exceptionally firm. The Baltic Dry Index breaking above 3,000 and Capesize earnings surpassing USD 43,000 per day continue reinforcing the economics of keeping aging tonnage active rather than recycling. As a result, the expected release of recycling candidates into the sub-continent has once again failed to materialize. Bangladesh remains the leading recycling destination on pricing and operational readiness, with stable currency conditions, active LC flows, and competitive steel plate pricing supporting Chattogram buyers. However, supply shortages persist as owners continue delaying recycling decisions ahead of monsoon closure. India faces renewed pressure as the Rupee weakens to another all-time low near 95.71 against the U.S. Dollar. Alang remains the lowest-priced destination while maintaining its strong HKC compliance advantage with more than 110 compliant yards operational. Pakistan's market position stabilizes after the State Bank's recent rate hike helped support the Pakistani Rupee, even as inflation pressures remain elevated. Gadani continues offering some of the firmest pricing in the market, supported by proximity advantages linked to ongoing Hormuz uncertainty. Turkey remains structurally uncompetitive for mainstream tonnage despite continued weakness in the Turkish Lira and rising inflation, leaving Aliaga focused primarily on EU-regulated recycling candidates. With only around two weeks remaining before the practical monsoon closure window, the central market question is no longer whether demand exists. It clearly does. The question is whether owners will release tonnage before the window closes. So far, strong freight markets, elevated oil prices, and unresolved geopolitical risk continue preventing meaningful supply flow into recycling yards. This episode covers: Global ship recycling market trends Brent crude oil rebound and Hormuz developments Baltic Dry Index and freight market strength Vessel recycling supply shortages Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Turkey market updates Steel plate pricing trends Currency movements and inflation pressures HKC-compliant recycling yards Monsoon impact on ship recycling activity Cash buyer sentiment and recycling pricing outlook Key Market Developments This Week • Brent rebounds from USD 96 back above USD 107 • Diplomatic momentum around Hormuz stalls • Baltic Dry Index breaks above 3,000 • Capesize earnings surge above USD 43,000/day • Freight strength continues delaying recycling decisions • Q2 recycling backlog hardens further • Bangladesh remains strongest pricing destination • Chattogram LC pipeline stays fully operational • India Rupee falls to fresh record lows near 95.71 • Alang maintains strong HKC compliance positioning • Pakistan Rupee firms despite inflation pressures • Gadani pricing remains among the strongest globally • Turkey inflation rises while Aliaga remains niche • Limited vessel supply continues across all destinations • Monsoon closure window narrows to approximately 2 weeks • Owners continue prioritizing trading over recycling For full details, vessel rankings, and port positions, download the GMS Weekly on our website or mobile app. Follow GMS on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X for daily updates.

Week 19 marks a major shift in the global ship recycling market as Brent crude falls sharply, diplomacy re-enters the Hormuz conversation, and freight markets move strongly in the opposite direction. Despite Brent correcting from USD 126.41 per barrel to near USD 100, the expected release of recycling tonnage has not materialized. The Baltic Dry Index climbed to 2,991, up 12% from the previous week, with Capesize earnings surging and daily returns moving above USD 42,000. Strong freight earnings continue to encourage owners to keep older vessels trading rather than sending them for recycling, keeping supply tight across the Indian sub-continent. Bangladesh remains the leading recycling destination, supported by firm demand, a stable Taka, sustained Letter of Credit flow, and competitive steel plate pricing. However, Chattogram continues to face the same core issue: buyers are ready, but vessels are not arriving. India saw sharp currency volatility, with the Rupee touching a fresh low around 95.27 before recovering near 94.18 on diplomatic headlines. Alang remains the lowest-priced sub-continent destination, but its HKC-compliant yard base continues to support regulated tonnage demand. Pakistan's position has become more complicated. Gadani pricing remains firm, with steel plate levels around USD 679 per ton, but April inflation surged to 10.9%, prompting a 100-basis-point rate hike to 11.5%. Pakistan's Gulf proximity premium still holds, but its earlier stability advantage has narrowed. Turkey remains structurally uncompetitive for mainstream tonnage, with the Lira weakening to a fresh record low and April inflation rising to 32.37%. Aliaga continues to rely mainly on EU-regulated tonnage, where compliance can outweigh the price gap. With only around 3 weeks left before the monsoon window closes, the central question is no longer whether demand exists. It does. The question is whether diplomacy can release vessel supply in time. For now, strong freight, unresolved Hormuz risks, inflation pressure, and limited candidate flow mean the backlog holds. This episode covers ship recycling prices, vessel supply, freight markets, oil prices, currencies, inflation, HKC compliance, and the latest developments across Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Turkey. Key Market Developments This Week • Brent crude falls from USD 126.41 to near USD 100 • Diplomacy re-enters the Hormuz discussion, but safe passage remains unresolved • Baltic Dry Index rises to 2,991, up 12% week-on-week • Capesize earnings strengthen, with daily returns above USD 42,000 • Strong freight continues to delay ship recycling decisions • Bangladesh remains the leading destination on demand and pricing • Chattogram LC pipeline remains stable and functional • India's Rupee touches 95.27 before recovering near 94.18 • Alang remains lowest-priced but retains strong HKC compliance advantage • Pakistan CPI jumps to 10.9%, triggering a 100-basis-point rate hike • Gadani pricing remains firm, but Pakistan's advantage narrows • Turkish Lira weakens to a fresh record low near 45.24 • Turkey inflation rises to 32.37%, keeping Aliaga niche and outpriced • No meaningful supply release despite Brent correction • Monsoon window narrows to approximately 3 weeks • Q1 overhang remains locked into a Q2 backlog

Week 18 marks a structural turning point in global ship recycling markets as the situation in the Strait of Hormuz shifts from disruption to sustained blockade. What was previously seen as a temporary constraint has now evolved into a large scale supply shock, with oil markets reacting sharply and reshaping the economics of vessel trading and recycling. Brent crude surged to multi year highs, briefly reaching USD 126 per barrel before stabilizing above the USD 110 range. This sharp increase reflects a significant tightening in global energy supply, with Hormuz transit flows dropping to nearly four percent of normal levels. The scale of disruption is now being described as one of the largest in history, with no immediate resolution in sight. Despite this volatility in energy markets, freight rates remain firm. The Baltic Dry Index continues to hold near recent highs, supported by strong Capesize and Supramax earnings. Elevated freight returns are reinforcing vessel trading economics, keeping older tonnage active in the market and delaying recycling decisions. Currency movements across the sub continent reflect varying exposure to the energy shock. The Indian Rupee has weakened to record lows due to heavy reliance on Hormuz linked imports, while Pakistan's Rupee has remained stable, providing a relative advantage. Bangladesh continues to operate within a stable range, and the Turkish Lira has shown modest recovery. Bangladesh remains the leading destination with strong pricing, improved financing conditions, and a cleared Letter of Credit pipeline. However, the market continues to face a lack of available vessels. India maintains its structural advantage through a large base of compliant yards, though currency pressure and energy exposure continue to weigh on competitiveness. Pakistan is emerging as the strongest structural player this quarter, supported by stable currency, firm steel pricing, and proximity to Gulf trade routes. Turkey remains limited to niche activity due to its pricing gap with the sub continent. No recycling transactions were reported this week, reinforcing the ongoing supply shortage. As the monsoon window narrows to approximately four weeks, the expected release of vessels is increasingly being deferred. The Q1 overhang is now transitioning into a confirmed Q2 backlog. This episode provides a detailed analysis of ship recycling trends, recycling pricing, freight dynamics, and the broader geopolitical factors shaping supply across global markets. Key Market Developments this Week • Hormuz disruption shifts into a structural blockade • Brent crude spikes to USD 126 before stabilizing above USD 110 • Global oil supply shock intensifies with flows near four percent of normal • Baltic Dry Index holds steady with firm vessel earnings • Strong freight rates continue to discourage recycling activity • Indian Rupee weakens to record lows on energy exposure • Pakistan Rupee stabilizes, strengthening relative positioning • Bangladesh maintains top pricing with improved LC processing • India retains compliance strength despite currency pressure • Pakistan benefits from Gulf proximity and structural alignment • Turkey remains limited to EU regulated recycling segment • No recycling transactions reported across all destinations • Q1 tonnage overhang transitions into a growing Q2 backlog Links & Resources Subscribe to GMS Weekly: https://www.gmsinc.net/get-in-touch/#SubscribeToGMS GMS Mobile App: https://onelink.to/gms-app LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gms-leadership X (Twitter): https://x.com/GMS_Leadership Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gms_leadership

In this episode, Monika Halan addresses growing concerns about whether current global tensions could push us back into Covid-like conditions. While she reassures listeners that a repeat of such extreme disruption is unlikely, she emphasizes that the economic impact of global conflict is already being felt. Using simple explanations, she breaks down how rising oil prices, a weakening rupee, and shifting global capital flows are putting pressure on economies like India. What recently seemed like a stable, “just right” economic phase is now entering a period of uncertainty and stress.She explains how these macro changes affect everyday finances—why inflation rises, how bond yields reflect expectations of higher interest rates and government borrowing, and why stock markets react even before the real economic slowdown becomes visible. She also highlights emerging risks around fertilisers and food security, while noting that India's relatively strong starting position offers some resilience. The core message remains steady: avoid panic, don't try to time the market, and stick to disciplined asset allocation. In volatile times, patience and consistency act as the strongest financial safeguards.In listener queries, Ambika Poddar seeks guidance on becoming financially independent later in life despite being excluded from household financial decisions, where the advice focuses on starting conversations, building personal income streams, and learning to invest gradually. V. R. Srinivas discusses the Arogya Sanjeevani health policy as a low-cost insurance option, highlighting its role as a basic safety net despite limitations. An anonymous listener from Bangalore asks about achieving financial independence within 5–10 years, where the recommendation is to increase equity exposure, secure independent life insurance, and recalibrate expectations around early retirement while continuing disciplined investing.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) Will India Be Back to Covid Times?

VOV1 - Các hãng hàng không quốc tế đang chịu ảnh hưởng kép từ cuộc xung đột tại Trung Đông bởi giá nhiên liệu tăng mạnh. Để ứng phó, một số hãng hàng không Ấn Độ đã buộc phải áp dụng phụ phí nhiên liệu đối với nhiều chuyến bay nội địa và quốc tế. Tại Ấn Độ, các hãng hàng không thuộc tập đoàn Tata Group gồm Air India và Air India Express đã quyết định tăng phụ phí nhiên liệu trên nhiều đường bay do chi phí nhiên liệu hàng không tăng mạnh và thời gian bay kéo dài.Theo thông báo, mức phụ phí nhiên liệu sẽ được triển khai theo từng giai đoạn.Cụ thể, đối với các chuyến bay nội địa và các tuyến bay giữa Ấn Độ với các nước thuộc Hiệp hội Hợp tác Khu vực Nam Á (SAARC), hành khách sẽ phải trả thêm 399 Rupee/vé được đặt sau ngày 11/3. Trong khi đó, các chuyến bay đến và đi từ khu vực Tây Á sẽ áp dụng phụ phí 10 USD. Đối với các chuyến bay của Air India tới Đông Nam Á và châu Phi, mức phụ phí nhiên liệu hiện hành sẽ tăng 50%, lên lần lượt 60 USD và 90 USD.Trong giai đoạn hai, áp dụng cho vé đặt từ ngày 18/3, Air India sẽ tăng phụ phí đối với các chuyến bay tới châu Âu, Bắc Mỹ và Australia. Theo đó, phụ phí đối với các chuyến bay tới châu Âu sẽ tăng 25% lên 125 USD, còn các chuyến bay tới Bắc Mỹ và Australia sẽ tăng khoảng một phần ba, lên mức 200 USD.Giai đoạn ba sẽ được công bố chi tiết sau. Những vé đã đặt trước thời điểm áp dụng sẽ không bị tính phụ phí mới, trừ khi hành khách thay đổi ngày bay hoặc hành trình.Theo Air India, kể từ đầu tháng 3/2026, giá nhiên liệu máy bay - vốn chiếm gần 40% chi phí vận hành của các hãng hàng không – đã tăng đáng kể do nguồn cung toàn cầu bị gián đoạn. Tại Ấn Độ, áp lực chi phí càng gia tăng khi nhiên liệu hàng không phải chịu mức thuế tiêu thụ đặc biệt và thuế giá trị gia tăng (VAT) cao tại các thành phố lớn như Delhi và Mumbai.Ngoài ra, các chuyến bay của Air India tới châu Âu và Bắc Mỹ còn chịu ảnh hưởng từ việc Pakistan cấm các hãng hàng không và máy bay Ấn Độ sử dụng không phận nước này, khiến thời gian bay kéo dài hơn và làm gia tăng lượng nhiên liệu tiêu thụ./.Đình Nam/VOV New DelhiMáy bay chở khách của Air India (Ảnh: ANI)
