According to the latest projections by the IMF, India is now the world's fourth-largest economy. Government officials, including the CEO of NITI Aayog B.V.R. Subrahmanyam, have expressed confidence that India could soon overtake Germany to claim the third spot. Adding to the optimism, the World Bank recently reported that extreme poverty in the country fell to 5.3% in 2022–2023. A recent report by SBI noted that the poverty rate in India could now be in the range of 4%.  But what do these numbers mean for the broader population?

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Markets, Modi, Gold & Grief: A Week That Shook India Markets on Edge It was a volatile week for Indian equities. With Israel-Iran tensions escalating and Brent crude spiking over 12%, investors dumped risky assets. The Nifty 50 closed down 1.14% at 24,718, while the Sensex slipped 1.30%. Market heavyweights like HDFC Bank, Reliance, and SBI led the decline. Vinod Nair of Geojit said early optimism from US–China trade talks faded quickly. “Global risk-off sentiment took over. Safe havens like gold and US bonds rallied.”  5 Big Market Triggers This Week: Israel-Iran conflict – with US and UK now militarily involved. US Fed Meet (June 17–18) – No rate cut expected, but Powell's tone will matter. Crude Oil Surge – Could reignite inflation, hurt margins. FPI Outflows – ₹4,812 crore pulled out in June so far. Macro Data Watch – WPI, trade numbers, Eurozone CPI, and US jobless claims on radar. Throw in the G7 summit in Canada and it's a headline-heavy week ahead. Air India Crash: A Nation Mourns A high-level probe begins into the devastating Air India Flight AI-171 crash that killed 270 people, including former Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani. The Boeing 787 crashed just after takeoff from Ahmedabad on June 12. Only one passenger, Vishwashkumar Ramesh, survived. A committee led by the Union Home Secretary has three months to recommend new aviation safety protocols. The second black box has been recovered, and DNA identification of victims is underway. Authorities praised the swift rescue response, but the nation now waits for answers. Gold's Glimmer Grows Gold is closing in on the ₹1 lakh mark. On June 13, 24K gold hit ₹99,058 per 10g, buoyed by geopolitical fears, a soft dollar, and a weakening rupee. Experts say don't sit this out. Naveen Mathur of Anand Rathi recommends gold ETFs via SIPs as a smart hedge. Devang Shah from Axis MF says more upside is possible. Meanwhile, central banks are hoarding gold amid what some call “global de-dollarization”. Gold ETF assets are up 88% year-on-year, now near ₹59,000 crore. Modi's Global Pitch: India Means Business At the India–Cyprus CEO Forum, PM Modi showcased India's digital and economic might. “Fifty percent of the world's digital transactions happen through India's UPI,” he said, adding Cyprus may soon join India's UPI network. Fresh off a rare third-term win, Modi underlined India's path to becoming the world's third-largest economy, with over $100 billion in annual infrastructure investment. The new Manufacturing Mission aims to turn India into a hub for electronics, semiconductors, biotech, and green tech. Maritime development, civil aviation, and startups are also key pillars. “Our 100,000+ startups sell solutions, not dreams,” Modi declared. Savings Shrink, But Capex Soars India's gross domestic savings dropped to 30.7% of GDP in FY24, down from 32.2% in FY15. More worryingly, household savings fell to 18.1% of GDP, while household debt surged to 6.2%—almost double in a decade. But there's a silver lining: public capital expenditure is booming. FY25 capex hit ₹10.5 trillion, and FY26 is set to hit ₹15.5 trillion, a 17% jump. April alone saw 14.3% of the Centre's budgeted capex already deployed. Non-petroleum exports hit $374 billion in FY25, up 6%, led by electronics and pharma. Though FY26 may see a slight dip, rural demand looks solid—thanks to good agri prospects and rising wages. Urban sentiment, however, still lags. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. 1. IndiGo Goes Global with Mega Airline Pact India's largest airline IndiGo has signed a landmark agreement with Delta Air Lines, Virgin Atlantic, and Air France-KLM, building a deeper network to connect India with Europe and North America. This formalized MoU, which extends beyond passengers to cargo, loyalty, and engineering, comes as IndiGo prepares to induct its first Airbus A350s in 2027. Flights to Manchester, Amsterdam, London, and Copenhagen are in the pipeline, opening up connections to 30+ European cities and beyond. Amid criticism over its short-term Turkish Airlines lease, the move hints at a future European hub—reminiscent of Jet Airways' Amsterdam play. 2. Hyundai, Kia Exit Ola Electric Amid EV Turmoil In a major shake-up, Hyundai and Kia sold their entire stakes in Ola Electric, cashing out ₹690 crore in total. Hyundai offloaded its 2.47% stake for ₹552 crore, while Kia exited with ₹137 crore. Citigroup Global Markets picked up a 1.95% stake for ₹435 crore. The timing is critical: Ola's stock tumbled 8% this week, down 42% year-to-date. Financials aren't pretty either—Q4 losses hit ₹870 crore, with annual losses crossing ₹2,276 crore. Once a darling of India's EV sector, Ola now faces regulatory heat, slumping sales, and shaken investor confidence. 3. Carlyle Trims Yes Bank Stake as Japan's SMBC Moves In Global PE firm Carlyle sold a 2.6% stake in Yes Bank worth ₹1,775 crore, reducing its holding to 4.22%. This follows SBI and seven other banks announcing the sale of 20% of their combined stake to Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) for ₹13,483 crore. Once complete, SMBC will become Yes Bank's largest shareholder. Despite a stellar performance—Q4 profit up 63% and FY25 net profit doubling to ₹2,406 crore—Yes Bank's shares fell over 10% after Carlyle's exit. It's a turning point for a bank that was in crisis mode just five years ago. 4. India's Travel Boom Needs a Louder Global Pitch India's tourism sector is back in full swing, contributing ₹21 trillion to GDP in 2024 and supporting 46.5 million jobs. The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) projects the sector will grow to ₹42 trillion and 64 million jobs by 2035. But WTTC CEO Julia Simpson warns: India must invest in marketing and infrastructure to keep up. International visitor spend hit a record ₹3.1 trillion in 2024, while domestic travel surged to ₹15.5 trillion. However, India's global marketing spend remains worryingly low at just ₹3 crore. A new WTTC-India MoU could help raise India's global visibility. 5. India to Build First Polar Research Vessel In a landmark move, India will build its first-ever Polar Research Vessel (PRV), thanks to a new partnership between GRSE and Norway's Kongsberg. The vessel, to be built in Kolkata, will support deep polar and ocean research for India's National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research. This comes alongside plans for two ₹1,000 crore deep-sea exploration vessels as part of the Deep Ocean Mission. Each vessel will be equipped for 6 km-deep explorations with cutting-edge scientific gear. Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, on a maritime diplomacy trip to Norway, pitched India as a global hub for green and resilient shipbuilding. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Tax Deadline Extended: More Time, More Disclosures Taxpayers not requiring audits now have until 15 September to file returns for FY 2024-25. The CBDT extended the deadline from 31 July due to significant changes in ITR forms, which now require detailed disclosures on tax-saving investments, capital gains, TDS on non-salary income, and HRA. Experts call the move a relief amid increased compliance.Budget 2025-26 sweetened the deal for middle-class taxpayers, raising the no-tax threshold to ₹12 lakh, and simplifying TDS norms. Direct tax collections hit ₹22.26 trillion, a 13.57% jump, reinforcing India's push toward a digital-first, transparent tax regime. North-East India Bags ₹4.32 Trillion in Investments India's North-East is emerging as an economic powerhouse. At a recent investment summit, the region attracted ₹4.32 trillion in deals across agriculture, hydropower, IT, tourism, and bamboo. Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia confirmed that each state is preparing tailored incentive packages and logistics policies.With Guwahati and Agartala poised to become international gateways, and 70% of the India-Myanmar-Thailand highway complete, the region's 12–13% decadal growth rate is set to soar even higher. Described as India's ‘Ashta Lakshmi', the North-East is becoming central to trade, diplomacy, and inclusive growth. Vodafone Idea Faces Financial Cliff as AGR Relief Denied Vodafone Idea's troubles deepen after the Supreme Court rejected its plea for AGR dues relief. Its survival now hinges on whether the ₹6,000 crore in bank guarantees it submitted to the government will be invoked.If the DoT calls in the guarantees, lenders like SBI and PNB will be on the hook—turning those into high-interest loans. With a ₹2 trillion debt pile and limited cash flow, analysts fear this could cripple the already fragile telecom sector.The telco has urged government intervention to avoid a market duopoly, especially since the Centre owns a 49% stake in the company.  CEAT Reroutes US Expansion Amid Trump Tariff Threat CEAT's $225 million acquisition of Canadian brand Camso aimed to crack the US tyre market. But Donald Trump's threat of 44% tariffs on Sri Lankan exports—where Camso manufactures—has thrown a wrench in the works.CEO Arnab Banerjee says the company will now shift US-bound production to India, though that too may face a 26% reciprocal tariff.Despite the uncertainty, CEAT's stock is up 18% this year, as investors remain bullish on its global expansion. But with nearly one-third of Camso's revenue coming from the US, analysts say the deal's long-term value now hangs in the balance. NMDC Mines Profit, But Faces Price Pressures Mining major NMDC posted a solid 5% jump in Q4 profit to ₹1,483 crore, with annual net profits rising 17% to ₹6,539 crore, powered by strong iron ore and pellet sales. Revenue for FY25 crossed ₹25,000 crore.Chairman Amitava Mukherjee reiterated the company's goal of hitting 100 MTPA production in five years, citing visible gains from ongoing initiatives.However, average iron ore prices dipped and JSW Steel—a major client—expects further softness. Despite that, NMDC announced a ₹1 per share dividend, adding to its earlier ₹2.30 payout.Eyes are now on how NMDC sustains growth amid falling ore prices and global demand shifts.

Market Roars Back: Ceasefire & Tariff Pause Spark ₹16 Trillion RallyPeace on the borders and a tariff truce overseas gave Indian markets their best day in over four years. With India-Pakistan tensions cooling and US-China easing trade friction, the Nifty soared 3.8% and Sensex jumped 3.7%, adding ₹16 trillion to investor wealth. IT, banking, and blue-chip stocks led the charge, as FIIs and DIIs poured in over ₹2,600 crore. “We're in a sweet spot,” said Marcellus' Saurabh Mukherjea, flagging optimism ahead of earnings and a potential EM bull run in 2025. Trump's Drug Price Bombshell Rattles Indian Pharma Donald Trump's executive order to slash US prescription drug prices by 59% has stirred unease among Indian pharma exporters. Branded drugmakers like Sun Pharma, with up to 17% US revenue exposure, face risks if the rule is enforced. Generic manufacturers may escape unscathed—for now. With Trump pushing for price parity with Europe, and past efforts blocked in court, Indian pharma must brace for policy volatility in its top export market. Yes Bank's SMBC Deal Signals Fresh Start Yes Bank is readying for a reset with a ₹13,482 crore lifeline from Japan's SMBC, which will pick up a 20% stake. CEO Prashant Kumar called it a triple win: reducing SBI's stake overhang, onboarding a global strategic partner, and potentially securing a credit rating upgrade. With PE options ruled out and M&A off the table, the bank is betting on stability, not survival. Approval is expected by September, as analysts cautiously back the move. Worldline Looks to Exit India in $200M Deal French fintech Worldline is quietly preparing to exit India, hiring BNP Paribas to find a buyer for its B2B payments business. The move is part of CEO Pierre Vacheron's cost-cutting and portfolio-pruning turnaround plan following steep losses and multiple profit warnings. Razorpay and PayU are seen as front-runners. If it goes through, the deal could reshape India's digital payments battlefield—and help Worldline reset focus on core markets. Hero's Pivot Moment: Munjal Returns Amid EV PressureLeadership churn at Hero MotoCorp has brought 71-year-old Pawan Munjal back into the spotlight. With CEO Niranjan Gupta exiting and Honda closing in on sales, India's two-wheeler giant is in reset mode. Interim CEO Vikram Kasbekar steps in as the company struggles with slow EV adoption and a 4.5% YTD stock drop. With just 48,674 EV scooters sold versus TVS and Bajaj's 2 lakh+, Munjal's next move will be critical. Investors await Tuesday's earnings for clues on Hero's growth, margins, and roadmap.

Tune in here to this ​Thursday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about two major local news stories involving the Charlotte City Council, the FOP, and CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings. He then shifts focus to Governor Josh Stein’s visit to Charlotte, where Stein promoted a proposed Fentanyl Control Unit aimed at combating the opioid crisis in North Carolina. Stein’s plan includes allocating $2.5 million annually for three prosecutors and seven SBI agents dedicated to targeting fentanyl trafficking. Jensen Interviews North Carolina State Senator Brad Overcash to discuss the Senate’s budget plan to address public safety in Mecklenburg County. Overcash, who helped craft the Senate’s budget, explained that a peer-reviewed study funded by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Foundation and conducted by UNC Charlotte identified a significant shortage of prosecutors in the area. In response, the Senate budget includes funding for 10 new assistant district attorneys and five victim-witness coordinators in Mecklenburg County. Overcash emphasized that this approach was data-driven and developed in close consultation with the District Attorney’s Office and local stakeholders. Jensen also interviewed Mecklenburg County District Attorney Spencer Merriweather, who discussed the growing strain on his office and the urgent need for additional prosecutors. Despite serving over 1.2 million residents and handling the state’s highest criminal caseload, the office has only 62 fully funded assistant district attorney positions—unchanged since 2010. Merriweather detailed how underfunding has resulted in long trial delays, especially in homicide and violent crime cases, sometimes stretching five to six years. He credited ongoing conversations with legislators, including Senator Brad Overcash, for progress in addressing these needs. Listen here for all of this and more on Breaking With Brett Jensen.

Episode 200! And for this special episode,  I've travelled to London to interview Prof. Guillermo Rein and Dr Matt Bonner on a piece of research carried out at Imperial College London, with the experiments performed in our laboratory at the ITB.In this episode, we discuss the concept of flammability of the building facades and how this flammability is assessed with different testing methods available in the world. You could argue that every country has their own method, and in some cases, they use those methods even with varying criteria of acceptance. Even though the methods are as different as they can be, they all claim they test for fire safety of the external façade and are used as the basis for local regulatory regimes. Knowing that so many methods exist, we approached this with a question: Will they agree on ranking different facades? Will they show us the same results, or will each show us something else? And this question is inspired by Prof. Howard Emmons, who in 1968 went into a similar endeavour with building materials. Back then, Emmons said:“Such profound disagreement between serious attempts to measure combustibility points out better than any argument that we really don't know what we are talking about when we say, ‘this is more combustible than that'; ‘this is a more safe building material than that'”.In this podcast episode, we discuss a series of 25 experiments: testing five facades, two ETICS and three rainscreen facades with a varying degree of use of combustible materials. All the material combinations were built by us in the same way, and then assessed using five test standards: The Polish method PN-B-02867, The international screening method ISO 13785-1 (smaller corner configuration), The German method DIN 4102-20, The American method NFPA 285, also used globallyand the British BS 8414, also highly influential over the world and the basis for the new harmonised EU approach.We go into the background and rationale of the experiments, an overview of the testing methods as well as into qualitative and quantitative findings of the study.Once the paper is published, I will update the shownotes with a link here :)For now, you may also want to revisit previous episodes of Fire Science Show discussing the fire safety of facades – It all started with episode 4 with Matt Bonner: https://www.firescienceshow.com/004-facade-fires-and-ai-with-matt-bonner/An overview of current Issues with Eleni Asimakopoulou: https://www.firescienceshow.com/124-advancements-in-fire-safety-of-facades-with-eleni-asimakopoulou/And some interesting facts about SBI method with Rudolf van Mierlo (and their development of façade testing method): https://www.firescienceshow.com/140-development-and-implementation-of-the-sbi-test-with-rudolf-van-mierlo/This research was funded by The Berkeley Group. The experimental part was performed at the Building Research Institute ITB, with a group of tests with the Polish method performed as part of our statutory research NZP-130.Thank you for being with the Fire Science Show for 200 episodes!

Greg Alexander sold SBI, his 30-person consulting firm, for $162 million. Since then, he's had a front-row seat to 50 other service firm exits through his peer group, Collective 54.

Subterfuge and betrayal! As the Clone Wars rage across the galaxy, none can be trusted as friends become enemies, enemies become friends, and even the Jedi Knights cannot be trusted.During their missions to root out Jedi corruption, a team of SBI agents received dire warnings - visions of Jedi usurping the Republic's governors, and rumors of Sith infiltration of the Senate.Seeking advice, the agents confided in the masters of the Almas Academy, who promised aid in exchange for discretion about their controversial activities....Support the show

No GST on UPI, Says Government The Finance Ministry has shut down rumors of a potential 18% GST on UPI payments over ₹2,000, calling the reports “false and misleading.” It clarified that GST applies only where fees like MDR are involved—which were eliminated in 2020 for UPI Person-to-Merchant transactions. Instead, the government is doubling down on UPI promotion, spending ₹3,631 crore in FY24 alone. With UPI transactions soaring to ₹260.56 lakh crore, India now handles 49% of global real-time digital payments. Bottom line: UPI stays tax-free. 2. MTNL Defaults on ₹8,346 Crore MTNL has defaulted on massive loans from seven public sector banks, including SBI and PNB, pushing its total debt to ₹33,568 crore. The defaults occurred between August 2024 and February 2025. Despite the financial mess, MTNL stock has delivered 500% returns in five years—though it's down 15% year-to-date. Investors remain optimistic, but the company's debt pile raises serious questions about its future. 3. China Extends Olive Branch to India Amid $99 Billion Trade Gap China's trade deficit with India hit a record $99.2 billion, prompting Beijing to seek economic cooperation. Ambassador Xu Feihong said China is ready to open its market to premium Indian exports but expects equal treatment for Chinese firms in return. Meanwhile, India has activated an Import Monitoring Committee to track any potential dumping of Chinese goods amid U.S. tariffs. The stakes: whether this becomes a turning point in bilateral trade—or another round of economic tug-of-war. 4. Auto Part Makers Burn Cash in EV Gamble Once solid in the engine parts business, companies like Greaves Cotton, Tube Investments, and Pinnacle Industries jumped into EV manufacturing to stay relevant. The result? A collective ₹1,600 crore in losses. Greaves' scooter sales halved in FY24, Pinnacle's EKA Mobility bled cash despite a solid order book, and Tube's EV arm remains unprofitable. Analysts say legacy players like Bajaj and TVS now dominate, with better brands, service networks, and distribution. The EV dream for these suppliers? A harsh reality check. 5. Sebi Pushes for More MF Exposure to REITs, InvITs Sebi wants mutual funds to increase exposure to REITs and InvITs, proposing to double the investment cap to 20% of NAV and 10% per issuer. The move aims to boost real estate and infra sectors, but experts warn of risks around taxation, classification, and compliance. Since these instruments blend features of equity and debt, overshooting limits could mess with a fund's identity and investor expectations. A bold push—but AMCs will need better risk disclosures and investor education to make it work.

Unknown 9 Awakening was such a massive failure for Bandai Namco that the studio's other projects have been cancelled, and staff are being reassigned to an internal Bandai Namco owned property. Yes, Sweet Baby Inc. consulted on this game too. What's SBI's body count to date?! Sweet Baby Inc.'s consulting services are allegedly bankrupting game studios by promoting "DEI-infused games" that are being globally rejected by consumers, leading to massive layoffs and studio shutdowns. The CEO of Reflector Entertainment halted development on "Unknown 9 Awakening", stating that continuing to create "woke games" would lead to bankruptcy due to worldwide gamer rejection. Bandai Namco's "Unknown 9 Awakening", which consulted with Sweet Baby Inc., achieved only 285 concurrent players on Steam despite starring a popular character, resulting in its cancellation. Sweet Baby Inc.'s track record of promoting "hamfisted ideology" in games is reportedly causing automatic failure of projects they're involved with, as gamers are rejecting these titles globally. Bandai Namco is shutting down Reflector Entertainment's project and laying off staff, but plans to continue investing in Western content despite the massive failure of their "DEI-infused games".
