$18 Trillion or Total Nonsense? The Oil Demand Divide
The world needs $18.2 trillion in new oil and gas investments in the period until 2050 in order to secure a sufficient supply. This is what OPEC warned in the 2025 edition of its World Oil Outlook. Yet the International Energy Agency continues to believe oil demand growth is going to peak before 2030, suggesting there is no such need for investments. Are both talking up their respective book? According to OPEC, global oil demand will reach 123 million barrels daily in 2050. That would be up from a projected 105 million barrels daily this year, per OPEC, or 104.4 million barrels daily per the International Energy Agency. According to the IEA, oil demand is already plateauing in certain parts of the world, most notably in China, which has been the biggest driver of demand growth for about three decades now. Yet, electric car penetration and alternatives to diesel trucks are sapping this demand growth, on course to bring peak oil demand to China. India has emerged as the next China in terms of oil demand growth. Yet India is still a much smaller oil consumer than China, and it is unclear whether it will ever catch up to China in terms of absolute numbers. For context, China's average daily consumption rate in 2023 was 16.4 million bpd, compared with 5.3 million bpd for India, per data from the U.S. Energy Information is worth noting, too, that India is, like China, highly motivated to diversify away from oil because of its heavy reliance on imports and, consequently, international prices. That is why India has some of the most ambitious energy transition plans. It's about energy supply security as much as it is about emissions, if not more. The rate of global demand growth, then, remains rather uncertain, especially as Chinese EV makers take to international markets to sell their products at much lower prices than local manufacturers in, for example, Europe. Affordability is a big problem for most car buyers. Remove that problem, and EV penetration may well increase, affecting crude oil demand. So, it's time to turn to natural gas, which is also a hydrocarbon, which was once called a bridge fuel to a net-zero economy and then promptly demonized as even dirtier than coal and bundled with oil and coal as inadmissible in a low-carbon system of human civilization. Global electricity demand is set for a prolonged surge amid a heating up race in the IT sector to out-develop everyone else's artificial intelligence programs. AI is all the rage, and it consumes massive amounts of electricity. Despite hopes and dreams of this electricity being supplied from wind and solar installations, Big Tech is hunting deals for long-term electricity supply from nuclear and gas-fired generators. It would be a safe bet to make that they would not refuse coal generation, either, if it comes to that. So, oil demand growth may be slowing on a global level but, first, it has yet to peak and it might take longer than the IEA believes, and second, even a peak would not mean a consequent sharp drop. As for natural gas demand, that is going to grow and grow quite strongly—unless Big Tech suddenly decides to drop its AI race ambitions. Even in the absence of such ambitions, the world's electrification, per transition plans, would mean a steady increase in demand, especially for reliable, round-the-clock energy supply. As for OPEC and IEA, and talking up one's book, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright recently said the U.S. may pull out of the IEA due to its biased demand projections, which Wright called 'total nonsense'.

Last day to buy shares of Cholamandalam Investment & Finance, CG Consumer, Hero MotoCorp, and others to be eligible for dividend
This week marks an important window for investors looking to secure dividends from several prominent Indian companies. Shares of Cholamandalam Investment & Finance, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals, and Hero MotoCorp among others will trade ex-dividend this week, as per data from BSE. The ex-dividend date is the day when the stock starts trading without the value of its next dividend. Investors who purchase shares on or after the ex-dividend date are not eligible for the declared dividend, while those who own the stock before this date remain entitled to it. Here's a day-wise list of notable companies whose shares will turn ex-dividend this week: Monday, July 21, 2025 Acceleratebs India Anupam Rasayan India OCCL Orient Bell Shree Cement Thangamayil Jewellery Windlas Biotech Tuesday, July 22, 2025 Happy Forgings Hind Rectifiers Menon Pistons SIL Investments Siyaram Silk Mills Strides Pharma Science Voltamp Transformers Wires & Fabriks SA Wednesday, July 23, 2025 Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Advanced Enzyme Technologies Banswara Syntex Bhatia Communications & Retail D B Corp EL CID Investments Greaves Cotton Heritage Foods K P R Mill Mahindra Logistics Metal Coatings India NESCO Novartis India Pidilite Industries Precision Camshafts Route Mobile Sonata Software Thursday, July 24, 2025 Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Hero MotoCorp 20 Microns Birlanu Bliss GVS Pharma Fiem Industries Hatsun Agro Product IVP Paushak Privi Speciality Chemicals Radico Khaitan Sanco Trans TCPL Packaging Friday, July 25, 2025 Some of the major names: 3M India Abbott India Akzo Nobel India Arvind Divis Laboratories Fortis Healthcare GMM Pfaudler Info Edge (India) Jubilant Ingrevia KEC International Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) Lupin Nelcast Union Bank of India Zydus Lifesciences Investors aiming to receive these dividends should ensure they purchase shares at least one trading day before the ex-dividend date. This is crucial because settlement in India follows the T+1 cycle, which means shares bought on the ex-date won't reflect in your account in time to qualify. With many blue-chip and mid-cap companies declaring dividends this season, market watchers see it as an opportunity for investors to lock in steady returns.

Paytm shares in focus today after strong Q1 results; first operationally-led profit since listing
Shares of One 97 Communications Ltd, the parent of Paytm, are expected to remain in focus in today's trade after the company posted a consolidated net profit of ₹123 crore for Q1 FY26, marking its first operationally-led quarterly profit since listing. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, Paytm reported a turnaround from a net loss of ₹839 crore a year ago, supported by robust lending business and tighter control on costs, particularly marketing and employee expenses. The company also delivered a positive EBITDA of ₹72 crore, compared to an EBITDA loss in both Q4 FY25 and Q1 FY25, aided by operating leverage and improved contribution margins. Revenue from operations stood at ₹1,918 crore, growing 28% year-on-year, while total income rose to ₹2,159 crore. Contribution profit grew 52% YoY to ₹1,151 crore, with contribution margins improving to 60%, up from 50% a year earlier. The number of subscription-based merchant devices hit an all-time high of 1.3 crore during the quarter, as the company optimised device costs and improved sales productivity. Paytm's financial services revenue doubled YoY to ₹561 crore, led by strong growth in merchant loans and improved collection efficiency. In comparison to Q2 FY25, where Paytm posted a net profit of ₹153 crore due to a one-time gain from selling its entertainment ticketing business, the ₹123 crore profit this quarter reflects core operational strength, as it benefited from lower ESOP charges and AI-driven efficiency gains. On July 22, Paytm shares closed 3.5% higher at ₹1,053 on the BSE. The stock's movement today will be closely watched as investors react further to the company's improved fundamentals and outlook. Paytm ended the quarter with a healthy cash balance of ₹12,872 crore, up by ₹4,764 crore over the past year, aided by monetisation of non-core assets. The company continues to focus on expanding its merchant base, digital financial services, and AI-led innovations. With its payments business stabilising and merchant loans gaining traction despite RBI's tighter rules on unsecured lending, Paytm appears to be on a path of sustainable profitability.
