India Plans to Spend $10 Billion on Homebuilt Oil Tanker Fleet
India plans to spend 850 billion rupees ($10 billion) to purchase 112 crude carriers through 2040, people familiar with the matter said, as the world's third-biggest importer of oil seeks to have its own fleet to secure supplies.
State-owned oil companies currently operate an aging fleet that's mostly on-charter from global companies and the shipping and petroleum ministries want to change that, said the people, who asked not to be identified citing rules. The plan's first phase involves purchasing 79 ships, of which 30 of them would be medium-range vessels, they said.

By Aman Shukla Published on June 2, 2025, 13:03 IST Shares of Central Depository Services (India) Ltd (CDSL) surged over 9% in trading today, driven by strong volumes.

The total value of demat custody declined to ₹71 lakh crore from ₹75 lakh crore, reflecting reduced market participation. Despite the subdued performance, CDSL's board declared a dividend of ₹12.5 per share, offering some relief to shareholders.

Why It's So Hard for Apple to Move Production From China to India
President Trump wants Apple to make iPhones in America. The company itself has talked about — and to some extent already has been — moving more of its production to other countries, like India. But in reality, Apple remains deeply, deeply enmeshed in the Chinese supply chain. In fact, the rise of Apple, and the iPhone specifically, is the ultimate example of the link between the American and Chinese economies. And while this has been fruitful for shareholders all around the world, and contributed greatly to Chinese economic development, this relationship is also now perceived to be a huge source of geopolitical vulnerability for the United States. On this episode, we speak with Patrick McGee, a reporter at the Financial Times and the author of the new book Apple In China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company. He talks to us about how Apple discovered the opportunity of doing more manufacturing in China, and how close the company has become with Chinese political leadership. We walk through both the politics and the economics that makes it almost impossible to imagine the company building its products anywhere else at significant scale.
