Northeast gets grip on rubber for tyres
CHENNAI: Govt and industry's efforts to extend natural rubber plantation to the northeastern states has started to bear fruit with the region's (Tripura, Assam & Meghalaya) share in total production more than doubling to 17.5% in 2023-24 from 7.8% in 2013-14. Tripura's rubber production has jumped to 91,500 tonne from 39,000 tonne in 10 years, data from All India Rubber Industries Association showed. During this period, top source Kerala's production fell to 6.1 lakh tonne from 6.5 lakh tonne. Similarly, Assam's production has grown to 46,500 tonne from 13,600 tonne, while Meghalaya is at 11,775 tonne, up from 7,570 tonne a decade ago. Domestic natural rubber production is around 8.5 lakh tonne with Northeast contributing about 1.5 lakh tonne. "Given that India's total rubber requirement is 14.5 lakh tonne, tyre companies are looking at Northeast for additional sourcing. Production in Kerala has reached its peak, so Northeast has potential for expansion," All India Rubber Industries Association president Shashi Singh said. "Natural rubber production in Tripura and Assam has risen in the last couple of years, and the quality has also seen some improvement, leading to higher offtake by the tyre industry and Apollo Tyres," said Apollo Tyre president & chief business officer Sunam Sarkar. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Northeast sourcing is seeing an uptick even though the region has not yet hit its peak planned coverage of 200,000 hectares. "This is our fifth year in reckoning and out of 2 lakh hectares, which was the layout of the plan, we are at 70,000-75,000 hectare. We are increasing our buying from Northeast apart from buying from the traditional (plantations) down south," added JK Tyre MD Anshuman Singhania. According to Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association (ATMA) in the first four years of the Indian Natural Rubber Operations for Assisted Development (INROAD) project (FY22-25), an area of 1.25 lakh hectares has been covered under new rubber plantations across 94 districts in Northeast and parts of West Bengal.

Australian shares hit record peak as US-China revive trade truce
June 11 - Australian shares rose to a record high on Wednesday, supported by banks and miners, as an agreement between U.S. and Chinese officials on a framework to revive their trade truce reinforced hopes of easing global economic tensions. The S&P/ASX 200 index was up 0.4% at 8,623.40 points, as of 0044 GMT, after climbing 0.8% to a record close on Tuesday. U.S. and Chinese officials agreed on a framework to put their trade truce back on track and resolve China's export restrictions on rare-earth minerals and magnets at the conclusion of two days of intense negotiations in London. An U.S.-China settlement would pacify investors around the world, calming jitters surrounding a potential escalation of trade wars between the world's two largest economies. Heavily dependent on export to China, Australian miners rose 0.7%, defying weaker iron ore prices driven by expectations of rising supply. Mining giants BHP, Rio Tinto and Fortescue climbed 2.2%, 1% and 2.4%, respectively. Financials were up 0.4% with the "big four" banks rising between 0.3% and 0.5%. Energy stocks advanced nearly 2% to their highest point in more than three months, buoyed by stronger oil prices amid optimism that a U.S.-China trade deal could support global economic growth and boost oil demand. Among corporate news, property services business John Lyng Group surged more than 18% after it announced a buyout offer from Australian fund manager Pacific Equity Partners for an undisclosed value. Meanwhile, shares of Qantas remained largely unchanged after the airline announced the decision to close its Singapore-based budget carrier, Jetstar Asia. New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index rose 0.7% to 12,647.44 points. Fletcher Building surged nearly 10% after the construction materials maker said it has received interest from parties for its businesses, including the construction division.

Indian companies may double capex to $850 billion in next five years
MUMBAI: India's corporate sector is gearing up for its largest capital expenditure cycle in over a decade, with companies poised to nearly double their investments over the next five years, according to S&P Global Ratings. The rating agency estimates total capex could reach $800 billion to $850 billion, mostly funded through operating cash flows and supported by domestic financing channels. If execution remains on track and macroeconomic conditions hold steady, S&P expects companies to expand without significantly increasing debt. Infrastructure will drive the surge, led by power, roads, and transport, where spending is expected to double. Industrial capex could rise 40%-50%. Aviation and renewables are projected to account for about 15% of total spending and around 40% of the incremental investment. Renewable capacity targets range from 200 GW to 500 GW, while power transmission could require $100 billion in capex. Aviation is scaling rapidly. Indian carriers have ordered more than 1,600 aircraft through 2030, and the number of airports is projected to rise to 220 from below 150. S&P noted that investments in airports may double or triple. Public lenders like Power Finance Corp, REC, and IREDA are expected to play a key role. Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .
