L&T's Green Energy arm to establish India's largest green hydrogen plant for IOCL in Panipat
The plant will run entirely on renewable energy and support the Government of India's National Green Hydrogen Mission. Hydrogen will be produced using advanced high-pressure alkaline electrolysers, made by L&T Electrolysers at their Hazira facility in Gujarat.
Subramaniam Sarma, Deputy Managing Director & President, L&T, stated, 'The decision to set up India's maiden green hydrogen plant validates our strategy to lead the nation's energy transition. This long-term project not only deepens our partnership with IOCL but also reinforces our capability to deliver large-scale clean energy solutions. As a first mover in India's green hydrogen space, we are proud to lay the foundation for cleaner industrial processes at scale.'
This marks a major step in India's green energy shift, and positions L&T at the forefront of clean, large-scale hydrogen infrastructure. The move also supports IOCL's strategy to cut carbon emissions from its refinery operations and contributes to India's broader net-zero goals.

The rich already know how private equity mints money — and it's not from a 401(k)
The ultrawealthy are envied for many reasons. For instance, we wish we could access the same private-market investments that they favor. Now, after the White House issued an executive order on Aug. 7, you may be able to invest like the billionaires do. Homeowners rush to refinance as mortgage-rate plunge opens window of opportunity My wife and I are in our 50s and have $11 million. We're not leaving it to our kids. Is that wrong? You could receive up to $7,500 from the AT&T settlement. Here's how class-action suits work. But would you want to? The executive order allows ordinary retirement savers to invest in private assets and cryptocurrency. This will expand investment options for anyone with a 401(k) or similar tax-advantaged retirement plan. It is a big deal — opening part of America's $12.4 trillion defined-contribution market to private-asset managers. The largest private-equity firms and other asset managers are salivating at the opportunity to pitch this untapped market of retirement savers. Private assets encompass a range of investments that do not trade on a public exchange. Examples include hedge funds, private equity, private credit and infrastructure. The case for private assets is they can provide a buffer against inflation — plus steady returns. The downsides include high fees, illiquidity and complexity. The nation's biggest asset managers welcome the executive order. They want to develop funds that make private assets easier for people to buy, and argue that the added diversification serves savers' best interests. Larry Fink, chief executive of BlackRock BLK, says retirement savers should replace the traditional 60% stocks/40% bonds asset-allocation model with a 50/30/20 split: 50% stocks, 30% bonds and 20% private assets. Read: Larry Fink proposes an alternative to the 60/40 portfolio. It means more fees. Should you be excited about this widening menu of investment choices? It depends on whom you ask. Some investment professionals like the idea of making private assets more available to more people. 'Historically, a number of private-market strategies have produced higher performance and additional diversification in defined-benefit pensions,' says Peter von Lehe, head of investment solutions and strategy at Neuberger Berman. 'It's appropriate that a broader range of investors have access to private assets in their defined-contribution plans because of the potential for return and diversification that these long-term investments can provide.' However, von Lehe cautions that these investments are illiquid and 'have a higher degree of complexity.' He says his 'most appropriate use case' for private-market investments is through professionally managed target-date funds or other funds that allocate a percentage of defined-contribution money to these complex but potentially more lucrative alternatives. Read: Here's something the rich know about managing investment risk that can help you, too Financial advisers have differing views on the role of private assets in client portfolios. Steven Roge, a certified financial planner in Bohemia, N.Y., says private markets are not for everyone. 'It's for people in the wealth-accumulation phase, say 40 to 50 years old, who have a long time horizon and a high risk tolerance,' Roge says. 'And they have to be sophisticated enough to understand it. We know if they don't understand it, they may not stick with it.' Of the firm's 300 clients, he says that 'only about a dozen' fit the bill for adding private-market assets to their retirement accounts. Even with the expanded investment options that may result from the White House's action, Roge remains a fan of passive strategies for most investors. 'Indexing is how they will win over the long run,' he says. 'But some clients want something that's special and different' as they seek market-beating returns. Given the illiquidity of private assets, Roge anticipates setting expectations for those clients who tend to monitor their portfolio daily — and who engage in frequent trading. 'These private investments may only price four times a year,' Roge says. 'That's not enough action for certain clients who track their portfolio like a hawk.' In his personal portfolio, Roge uses private markets — especially private equity — to diversify his holdings. He says he allocates about 25% to alternative assets. 'It helps me sleep at night knowing my portfolio isn't being pushed around by the volatility of public markets,' he says. Roge adds that he is not concerned about the current high valuations of private-equity funds. 'The valuations [of private-equity funds] are more realistic than the erratic valuations we see in public markets on a daily basis,' he says. Other advisers are more skeptical of the White House executive order. 'It's less being done out of interest for the general public and more for private industry lobbying the [Trump] administration,' says Alex Ruda, an adviser in Silver Spring, Md. The executive order undoubtedly pleases asset managers and private-equity firms. For years, they've wanted to attract retirement savers' money. These savers bear primary responsibility for managing their 401(k) compared with today's older retirees, many of whom receive employer-funded defined-benefit pensions. While some younger savers enjoy picking their investments, others dread it. 'The average American worker isn't equipped to navigate these complex [private-market] investments,' Ruda says. 'And they may fall prey to a little performance chasing given where we are in the market cycle' — as private markets have outperformed publicly traded stocks since 2000. Ruda feels so strongly about not incorporating private assets into client portfolios that he's willing to forgo newcomers who express such interest. 'If I wanted to broaden my client base, I'd have to play to what they want,' he says. 'But I don't have to do that. So I'd say to them, 'I'm not the best fit.''

AT&T may pay customers up to $7,500 in $177 million data breach settlement
Millions of AT&T customers can file claims worth up to $7,500 in cash payments as part of a $177 million settlement related to data breaches in 2024. The telecommunications company had faced a pair of data breaches, announced in March and July 2024, that were met with lawsuits. Here's a breakdown. On March 30, 2024, AT&T announced it was investigating a data leak that had occurred roughly two weeks prior. The breach had affected data until 2019, including Social Security numbers, and the information of 73 million former and current customers was found in a dataset on the dark web. Four months later, the company blamed an 'illegal download' on a third-party cloud platform that it learned about in April for a separate breach. This leak included telephone numbers of 'nearly all' of AT&T cellular customers and customers of providers that used the AT&T network between May 1 and October 31, 2022, the company said. The class-action settlement includes a $149 million cash fund for the first breach and a $28 million payout for the second breach. AT&T customers whose data was involved in either breach, or both, will be eligible. Customers eligible to file a claim will receive an email notice, according to the settlement website. AT&T said Kroll Settlement Administration is notifying current and former customers. The deadline to submit a claim is November 18. The final approval hearing for the settlement is December 3, according to the settlement website, and there could be appeals following an approval 'and resolving them can take time.' 'Settlement Class Member Benefits will begin after the Settlement has obtained Court approval and the time for all appeals has expired,' the website states. Customers impacted by the March incident are eligible for a cash payment of up to $5,000. Claims must include documentation of losses that happened in 2019 or later, and that are 'fairly traceable' to the AT&T breach. For the breach announced in July, cash payments go up to $2,500. Documentation is needed for 'losses that occurred on or after April 14, 2024.' A customer affected by both breaches could be eligible for up to $7,500, but documentation for each loss must be unique, according to the website. Alternatively, customers can file a claim for a tier cash payment. According to the settlement website, anyone whose Social Security Number was exposed in the March breach would receive five times the payment of the second tier, including anyone who had another data element exposed. Anyone impacted by the second breach would receive an equal share of remaining funds. However, there's no guarantee that customers would get a substantial payout. 'The amount of money that will be available for Settlement Class Member Cash Payments is unknown at this time,' according to the settlement website. AT&T said in a statement that it denies allegations from the lawsuits that it was responsible 'for these criminal acts' from the date breach, but 'agreed to this settlement to avoid the expense and uncertainty of protracted litigation.' 'We remain committed to protecting our customers' data and ensuring their continued trust in us,' the company wrote. In 2024, an AT&T spokesperson told CNN that the March breach had 'no connection in any way' to the July announcement. AT&T said it expects the settlement will be approved by the end of the year. Eva Rothenberg contributed to this report.
