Leighton Asia secures contract for luxury residential project in Gurugram, India
Leighton Asia, a subsidiary of CIMIC Group, has been awarded a significant contract to deliver a luxury residential project named Elan The Emperor in Gurugram, India, for the Elan Group, an Indian real-estate developer.
This contract is set to generate approximately A$200m ($129.6m) in revenue for Leighton Asia.
The project involves the construction of ten towers, each standing at about 145m tall, covering a built-up area of roughly 490,000m².
The development is located in the same vicinity where Leighton Asia is currently working on another project for the Elan Group, the eight-tower Elan The Presidential.
CIMIC Group executive chair and ACS Group CEO Juan Santamaría said: 'Securing further work for the Elan Group is a sign of Leighton Asia's commitment to safety and operational excellence. We are pleased to be providing another premium residential project for the growing population of the region.'
Leighton Asia managing director Brad Davey added: 'With more than two decades of on-the-ground experience in India, Leighton Asia takes pride in setting new benchmarks for quality and sustainability in large-scale residential projects. We are proud to be undertaking this prestigious project for the Elan Group.'
The luxury residential project is targeted to achieve Indian Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold certification and will include civil and structural works, along with the management of subcontractors.
The commencement of construction is scheduled for September 2025, with completion expected in 2030.
CIMIC Group is engaged in engineering, services, construction, and natural resources sectors, employing 39,000 people and operating in approximately 20 countries.
The group includes several businesses such as CPB Contractors, Leighton Asia, UGL, Sedgman, Thiess (with a 60% ownership), and Pacific Partnerships, all of which are supported by the in-house engineering consultancy EIC Activities.
In August 2024, Leighton Asia secured another contract from the Elan Group to construct a mixed-use development in Gurgaon, India, which includes a shopping centre, a hotel, and a serviced apartment tower, with a total built-up area of approximately 207,000m².

Coca-Cola Partners With Universal Music to Debut Real Thing Records
Coca-Cola (KO) has teamed up with Universal Music Group (UMGNF) to create a new record label named 'real thing records.' This new record label is focused on highlighting voices around the world. As such, two of its first signees are French-New Zealand singer-songwriter Max Allais and Indian singer-songwriter and producer Aksomaniac Among. Confident Investing Starts Here: Joshua Burke, Coca-Cola's Global Head of Music & Culture, said that real thing records is a 'long-term commitment to music—enabling us to reinvest in our programs, champion the next generation of talent, and stay rooted in what matters most: music and fandom.' ICE Raids Hit Coca-Cola Sales In other Coca-Cola news, the beverage company's sales are being hit by ICE raids. These raids have led many Latino customers in the U.S. to shy away from public life, likely in an effort to avoid deportation. One consequence is fewer purchases of products favored by these consumers. This might have some KO shareholders worried, but the company's stock hasn't been largely affected by the news. Instead, shares have only experienced a slight 0.1% drop today and remain up 16.65% year-to-date and 14.41% over the past 12 months. Investors will also note that Coca-Cola has a strong lead over its closest rivals in the race to capture U.S. sales. The company's titular soda held 19.1% of the market in 2024, with Keurig Dr Pepper's (KDP) flagship soda being its closest rival with an 8.3% share of the market. Even if it loses some of this due to deportations, Coca-Cola will still likely remain the top carbonated beverage in the U.S. Is Coca-Cola Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold? Turning to Wall Street, the analysts' consensus rating for Coca-Cola is Strong Buy, based on 15 Buy and a single Sell rating over the past three months. With that comes an average KO stock price target of $79.53, representing a potential 10.65% upside for the shares.

India moves to tap its rare earth reserves. Experts say it could become an alternative to China
India, like many countries, is facing China's restrictions on rare earth exports — and it wants to develop its own domestic supplies. Experts say it could become an important alternative to China for partners such as the U.S., but will require much more public and private investment in the sector. In recent weeks, the world has been grappling with a rare earths shortage in light of those curbs from China. Auto manufacturers across India, the U.S., Japan, South Korea, and Germany have been affected. In response, Indian officials are evaluating how India Rare Earths, a government-owned company, can be leveraged to increase rare earth magnet production, sources told CNBC-TV18. The report comes just days after India's Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal called China's pause in exports of rare earth elements a "wake-up call" for the world and an opportunity for India to provide an alternative. Geoffrey Pyatt, senior managing director of critical minerals at McLarty Associates and former U.S. assistant secretary of state for energy resources from 2022 to 2025, echoed the commerce minister's statements. "This is both a wake-up call and an opportunity for us to deepen U.S.-India collaboration on an issue important to future economic competitiveness," he told CNBC. Beijing recently signaled plans to ease controls, and U.S. President Donald Trump has said that a trade deal with China that includes a resolution on rare earths is "done." But China's control of rare earth elements (REEs) was not a new policy, with gradual restrictions of international sales occurring over the past two years. The recent shortage has further highlighted the dominant position the country has in REEs: It produces roughly 60% of the world's supply of rare earths and processing almost 90%, which includes materials imported from other countries. That gives Beijing considerable leverage over a supply of minerals crucial for various modern technologies, including robotics, clean energy, batteries and military equipment. It's important to note, however, that REEs are not rare in nature. While China has the largest deposits of REEs at 44 million tons, India also has a substantial amount at 6.9 million tons, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. That gives it the world's third-largest share of reserves behind that of Brazil. India also has nearly 35% of the world's beach and sand mineral deposits, which are significant sources of important rare earths, according to a recent report from D. K. Srivastava, India chief policy advisor at EY. Given those considerable reserves, India is "poised to play a key role in building a more diversified global rare earths supply chain," Gracelin Baskaran, director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told CNBC. However, in order to use REE reserves, countries need the ability to mine and extract raw materials, as well as the capacity and technology to process and refine them for final use. In those areas, Indian Rare Earths, which was founded in 1950, could present a good partner for countries such as the United States, Baskaran said, adding that it has no Chinese investment. India also launched the National Critical Mineral Mission in 2025 with the aim of developing an effective framework for REE self-reliance in the face of China's restrictions and other threats posed to the geographically concentrated supply chain. However, experts say that building domestic capabilities quickly is a tall order. "Going forward, substantial additional resources need to be allocated by central and state governments as well as the private sector for research and development in the field of rare earths," EY's Srivastava said in his report. Sources told CNBC-TV18 the Indian government is also considering private sector collaboration with India Rare Earths to speed up domestic capacity. Among the options being considered are government incentive schemes and capital subsidies aimed at encouraging local mining and processing. "India will not be able to replace China's position in the market, but it can certainly play an important role in providing a new source of rare earths," Baskaran said. In the meantime, Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal said, India is also searching for alternative sources, and that he hopes Indian companies would receive import approvals from China soon. A delegation of Indian auto industry representatives is also gearing up for a China visit in an attempt to expedite their imports of rare earth magnets, according to local reports citing industry sources.
