Mukesh Ambani bets big on US gas as Trump's trade war reshapes global energy, all you need to know

Mukesh Ambani, Asia's richest man, is racing to buy American ethane gas as a shield against President Trump's trade war. His company Reliance Industries imports 1.6 million tonnes yearly from US shale fields, shipped in giant tankers to Gujarat factories. This cheap gas replaces costlier oil-based naphtha for making plastics, saving $450 million annually. With Trump threatening 26% 'reciprocal tariffs' on Indian goods by July 9, Ambani's bet positions India as a key buyer of US energy, potentially easing tensions over India's $43 billion trade surplus with America. His fleet of six specialized ethane tankers now anchors this strategy, according to a Bloomberg report. India's state-run GAIL is also trying to replicate Ambani's tactics to stay ahead in the race. It just sought 20-year contracts for US ethane tankers after government policies slashed its natural gas supply, hurting profits. Like Reliance, GAIL will pipe ethane to its chemical plants to replace naphtha. The shift is urgent: Ethane costs half as much as naphtha and produces more plastic per tonne. Even Qatar now charges extra for ethane in gas sold to India, forcing firms like GAIL to seek US alternatives. Analysts call this a 'permanent shift' as shale gas floods global markets. Trump's trade wars make Ambani's move timely. China once bought most US ethane, but Trump's tariffs and 'decoupling' push have stalled deals. India now grabs this surplus, though it can't match China's Apple's plan to make iPhones in India faces Trump's wrath over 'massive tariffs,' showing New Delhi's precarious position. By boosting US energy purchases, India hopes to avoid auto and textile tariffs. Reliance's pipeline network and new ships strengthen its role as a 'pressure valve' in US-India trade talks. The Ambani-Trump connection runs deep. Ivanka attended Ambani's son's $600 million wedding, while Trump hosted the family at his pre-inauguration gala. Now, their interests align commercially: Trump needs foreign buyers for US shale gas, while Ambani seeks cheap raw materials. As Reliance orders three more ethane tankers, experts warn India's oil refineries may become obsolete.

Business tycoon and chairman of Reliance Industries, Mukesh Ambani's younger brother, Anil Ambani, was once the sixth richest person in the 2000s. However, his fate had something else in store for him. He had a wealth of 42 billion dollars, but wrong decisions, poor policies to expand his business, and debt broke him so much that he declared himself bankrupt. The businessman witnessed many highs and lows as debt of millions of crores of rupees kept piling up on him. However, even during these days, Anil Ambani had a special possession which he did not leave. Scroll down to read about it. When Anil Ambani Declared Himself Bankrupt In 2020, Anil Ambani declared himself bankrupt in front of a London court and said that he did not have enough money to bear his expenses or pay the lawyer's fees. He said that his wife and family members were taking care of him.

Anil Ambani's 17-storey private bungalow built in Mumbai's posh area, Pali Hill, is not just a house but a proof of richness and luxury.
