Siemens Energy's Demerged India Unit In Stock Exchange Debut, Falls 5%
Siemens Energy's demerged Indian unit - Siemens Energy India Limited or 'SEIL' - made its stock exchange debut on Thursday, in a keenly watched emerging market move by the German vendor.
The lucrative unit's demerger from its parent company saw it debut at a listing price of ₹2,840 ($32.85) per share on the National Stock Exchange of India, already up 14% on its stated discovery price of ₹2,478. Its demerger price was in the region of ₹2,350.
At one point intraday, the stock rose as high as ₹2,982 given the company is expected to be India's largest listed pure-play power transmission and distribution equipment provider. However, at end of day's session the stock closed 5% lower at ₹2,735.
SEIL has a firm foothold in India's lucrative and burgeoning, but extremely competitive, energy market. It supports the integration of renewable energy, modernization of the national grid, and decarbonization of key industries.
As India pursues its officially stated goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, SEIL said it would be part of the government's 'Make in India' initiative.
The company is making what it describes as 'significant investments' in India in expanding its local manufacturing footprint, including an investment of ₹4.6 billion ($53.2 million) in its Kalwa Transformers facility.
In addition, SEIL has launched a 'competency hub' to 'foster innovation in energy technologies and position India as a global innovation leader.'

Guilherme Mendonca, managing director and chief executive officer of SEIL, said: "With this listing we reaffirm our long-standing commitment to India's energy future. As India advances toward becoming a $7 trillion economy, a strong and resilient energy system will be essential.
"Siemens Energy India Limited with its dedicated team is ready to support this important journey for India and its people.'
Furthermore, the company which employs more than 4,000 professionals, has ten manufacturing sites and eleven regional offices, also serves neighboring countries in the South Asian subcontinent including Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Maldives.
SEIL's successful listing is also welcome news for Siemens itself and its Siemens Energy sub-unit from which the Indian unit demerged and listed on Thursday. Depending on the stock's performance, a substantial windfall may follow.
As things stand, Siemens subsidiaries hold 69% in SEIL and the subsidiaries of Siemens Energy hold 6% in Siemens Energy India Limited, with the remainder in free float for retail and institutional investors alike.
It is a marked contrast Siemens Energy's wind unit - Siemens Gamesa - which has been buffeted by operational headwinds and losses in the face of competition from Chinese rivals who often undercut it on prices, as acknowledged by CEO Christian Bruch last year.
That unit posted another quarterly loss in April of €249 million ($285 million). Ironically, the figure included a loss from disposal of a majority stake of Siemens Gamesa's Indian (and Sri Lankan) wind business.
That happened in March, when Siemens Gamesa divested 90% of the business to a TPG-led investor group, while retaining a 10% stake.
The deal included transferring approximately 1,000 employees and two manufacturing plants in India to the new company. However, Siemens Energy, via Gamesa, will continue to support the new entity through a long-term technology licensing agreement.

Trump Directed His Wrath at India
President Trump announced today that he would double U.S. tariffs on goods imported from India to 50 percent, as punishment for the country's continued purchase of Russian oil. The move was a sharp escalation in a sudden trade war between the world's two largest democracies, which had both seemed to be enjoying the friendship that their leaders had forged. The U.S. and its businesses had long viewed India as a counterweight to China and a potential haven for trade, as Trump promised to ramp up tariffs on Chinese products. Trump's onslaught began last week, when he declared India's economy 'dead.' Until that time, his administration had been angling to reduce India's trade barriers. Now India is keeping company with Brazil, whose leftist president Trump considers a political enemy. India's foreign ministry called Trump's planned tariffs 'extremely unfortunate' and reiterated that it was importing oil from Russia to meet the energy needs of its 1.4 billion people. Here's what to know about India's oil trade with Russia. In other Trump news: The president said that he would put a 100 percent tariff on semiconductors unless manufacturers commit to building in the U.S. Trump announced that Apple had pledged to invest an additional $100 billion in U.S. production. Trump has discussed interceding in the New York City mayor's race to try to stop Zohran Mamdani. Trump named Vice President JD Vance as the MAGA movement's most likely heir 'at this point.' To understand how the president's budget cuts will impact some states, consider New Mexico. Trump said he intends to meet with Putin and Zelensky During a call today with European leaders, Trump said he intends to meet in person with Vladimir Putin as soon as next week. He told the European officials that he would follow up shortly afterward with a meeting between himself, Putin and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. The meetings would include only those three, according to people familiar with the discussion. The European leaders, who have tried to play a coordinating role during peace talks, appeared to accept Trump's plan, though it was not immediately clear if Putin or Zelensky had agreed to the meetings. In related news, Steve Witkoff, Trump's envoy, met with Putin today for the fifth time this year. China turned to A.I. to further information warfare The Chinese government is using companies with expertise in artificial intelligence to monitor and manipulate public opinion in Hong Kong and Taiwan, according to current and former U.S. officials and documents. Internal documents from the Chinese company GoLaxy show how Beijing undertook influence campaigns in Hong Kong and Taiwan and collected data on members of the U.S. Congress and other influential Americans. Experts said that China's use of A.I. in this way could result in far more sophisticated influence operations. Uber has a festering sexual assault problem Between 2017 and 2022, Uber received reports from riders in the U.S. of sexual assault or sexual misconduct almost every eight minutes on average. The ride-sharing company has not disclosed more recent data, though court records indicate that reports of such incidents have increased. The company has tested tools that have proved effective at making trips safer. But, according to documents and interviews with employees, some have been set aside in favor of protecting the company's interests, such as requiring cameras in cars, largely because it might classify drivers as employees instead of independent contractors.

With her eyes on next year's Olympics, Vonn has become a hero of sorts to those who believe in not letting age hold them back. If she is successful, Vonn would become the oldest ski racer, man or woman, ever to win a medal.

The final love token from a dinosaur whisperer Over nearly four decades, the paleontologist Barry James and his wife, April, built a fossil business from the ground up. It all culminated with an offer to reconstruct a triceratops skeleton with an astounding collection of bones, perhaps the largest ever found. But April died last year, before the project was completed. In his bereavement, James stopped working. But then he had an idea: He decided to honor his wife's memory by finishing the triceratops, and insisting that whoever buys the fossil name it 'April.' 'Even if a collector is offering $100 million to name it after his son or daughter, I am not selling,' James said. Have a loving evening. Thanks for reading.

Trump Targets Russia via India
President Trump wants at long last to raise the pressure on Russia for a cease-fire in Ukraine, and on Wednesday he threatened India with a 50% tariff if it keeps buying Russian oil. The puzzle is why the President is so far giving China a pass, though Beijing buys more Russian oil than does New Delhi. The new tariff is included in an executive order 'Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of the Russian Federation.' India is a target because its purchases of Russian oil are a major source of revenue for Vladimir Putin's war machine. India has long bought Russian crude, but its purchases since Russia invaded Ukraine have increased enormously and help Mr. Putin continue his deadly rampage. India has 'always bought a vast majority of their military equipment from Russia, and are Russia's largest buyer of ENERGY, along with China, at a time when everyone wants Russia to STOP THE KILLING IN UKRAINE,' Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social. The executive order would add a 25% tax on India's exports to the U.S. in three weeks if India doesn't adjust its policy. This would be on top of the 25% tariff that Mr. Trump has already applied to imports from India and is set to begin Thursday. Through June this year, India exported some $56.3 billion in goods to the U.S., making it the twelfth largest U.S. trading partner. The exports include medical products, generic drugs and telephones, among other things.

Oil rebounds as Trump threatens India over Russian crude purchases
Oil (BZ=F, CL=F) Oil prices climbed on Wednesday, recovering from a five-week low the previous day, as concerns about potential supply disruptions mounted following US president Donald Trump's threats of tariffs against India over its Russian crude purchases. Brent crude futures gained 1.4% to trade at $68.59 per barrel at the time of writing, while West Texas Intermediate futures rose by 1.5% to $66.13 a barrel. "There's still plenty of uncertainty over the US imposing secondary tariffs on buyers of Russian oil ... market chatter is growing that China's purchases of Russian oil may come into focus next," ING commodity strategists said. "If India were to stop buying Russian oil amid tariff threats, we believe the market would be able to cope with the loss of this supply," they said, adding that the bigger risk was if other buyers also started to shun Russian oil. Read more: UK taxpayers 'subsidising' S&P 500, says LSEG boss The Trump administration's pressure on India to halt its Russian oil purchases is part of a broader effort by Washington to economically pressure Moscow into pursuing peace in Ukraine. On Tuesday, Trump warned that tariffs on Indian goods could be imposed within 24 hours if New Delhi did not comply. He also suggested that falling energy revenues might eventually force Russian president Vladimir Putin to end the war. India responded by calling the threat 'unjustified' and reaffirmed its commitment to protecting its economic interests. Yuki Takashima, an economist at Nomura Securities, said investors are closely watching whether India will reduce its Russian oil purchases in response to the tariff threats. If it maintains its current levels of imports, Takashima suggested that WTI prices could remain in the $60-$70 range for the rest of the month. Gold (GC=F) Gold prices edged lower but remained near a two-week high, as investors continued to seek defensive assets in light of growing expectations of a more dovish stance from the Federal Reserve. At the time of writing, gold futures were down 0.4% to $3,411.60 per ounce, while spot gold remained relatively flat at $3,366.95 per ounce. The previous day's release of US ISM data revealed that the services sector business activity index for July fell to 50.1 points, below forecasts. The data suggested sluggish growth, slowing employment, and rising price pressures. Read more: Trending tickers: AMD, Novo Nordisk, Snap, Walt Disney and Glencore These figures have fuelled speculation that the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates as early as September, with markets pricing in a 90% probability of such a move. Further support for gold came from new trade tariffs announced by Trump, as well as investor concerns over the Federal Reserve's independence following the resignation of Board of Governors member Lisa Kugler. Her departure clears the way for Trump to appoint a successor potentially more in line with the White House's views on the economy. "Kugler's resignation allows the president to further shape the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) in his own image,' analysts at Harris Financial Group said. "Gold has been caught between conflicting forces. The drop in yields has helped, but the US dollar has managed to hold up well despite Friday's selloff. That has produced the range we're now seeing, as prices wait for conviction across the catalysts," Ilya Spivak, head of global macro at Tastylive, told Reuters. Pound (GBPUSD=X, GBPEUR=X) The pound was muted against a stronger dollar, trading at $1.3285, with investors awaiting the Bank of England's (BoE) monetary policy decision on Thursday. Traders have almost fully priced in a 25 basis points (bps) interest rate reduction to 4%. Therefore, the major driver for the British currency will come from any fresh cues on monetary policy guidance given by BoE officials. Stocks: Create your watchlist and portfolio The US dollar index ( which measures the greenback against a basket of six currencies, was higher at 98.79. Elsewhere in currencies, the pound was also muted against the euro, trading at €1.1475 at the time of writing. In equities, the FTSE 100 (^FTSE) was near a record high on Wednesday morning, up 0.2% to 9,159 points. For more details, on market movements check our live coverage here.
