Trump is sold on Pak oil. But where's the oil?
The only time oil makes news in Pakistan is because of an increase in already-high fuel prices, like earlier in July, or smuggling from Iran. After selling President Donald Trump a Nobel dream, Pakistan seems to have sold his oil dream. Oil it doesn't have. Otherwise, why would Pakistanis be paying 272 rupees for a litre of petrol?A day after declaring a 25% import duty and penalty on Indian products, Trump seemed to rub it in by announcing that the US had concluded a deal, whereby Islamabad and Washington would work together to develop Pakistan's "massive oil reserve".advertisement"Who knows, maybe they [Pakistan] will be selling oil to India some day," Trump posted on Truth Social. The hoax of the "massive oil reserve" owes its origins to former Pakistan PM, Imran March 2019, Imran Khan announced a "possible massive find" offshore. It was touted as "Asia's largest oil and gas reserve".Hours after Khan's announcement, the Petroleum Division denied it, saying the drill did not yield the desired results, according to a 2024 report in the Karachi-based Dawn report says that ExxonMobil, ENI, Pakistan Petroleum Limited, and Oil & Gas Development Company Limited drilled beyond 5,500 metres but didn't find oil or gas reserves."The drilling work has now been abandoned," an official then told the imaginary, unproven massive offshore find. Pakistan's proven oil reserves are estimated at approximately353.5 million barrels as of 2016, ranking it 52nd on the list of countries with petroleum in the is just 0.021% of the global oil in contrast, which is the world's third-largest crude oil consumer, India, has around 4.9 billion barrels of oil reserves, ranking among the top 25 is approximately 0.29% of the world's total oil Pakistan, at current consumption rate, its reserves would cover less than two years without make matters even more complicated for Pakistan, most of its oil reserves are in Balochistan, the resource-rich province that has risen in rebellion against the Islamabad-Rawalpindi was widespread anger in Pakistan in July when petrol prices were revised upwards by 5.36 Pakistani rupees a litre to 272.15 PKR a litre, reported news agency ANI. Pakistanis asked why the increase in fuel prices while crude prices in global markets had gives two hoots to facts and truths. Massage his ego, and sell him a dream, and Trump is all Trump family has also fallen for Pakistan's cryptocurrency pitch. That's the crypto dream of a country whose economy survives on the begging total goods trade with Pakistan was estimated at $7.3 billion in 2024, according to a Reuters bilateral trade stands at $129 billion, according to US Trade Representative America's need for its lapdog Pakistan is more strategic than for trade, the mention of "massive reserves" of oil in Trump's post only makes one wonder the nature of oil that Islamabad has used for Trump's tel maalish.- EndsTune InMust Watch

India's power demand to rise 4 pc in 2025, renewable energy output surges: IEA
New Delhi: India's electricity demand is expected to grow by 4 per cent in 2025, as cooler summer temperatures in the first half of the year (H1 2025) reduced consumption and pushed the annual peak load to September, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in its mid-year electricity market update. The Paris-based agency said industrial activity was also impacted by global economic uncertainties in the first half of the year, leading to just 1.4 per cent YoY growth in demand between January and June 2025. However, demand is expected to pick up in the second half, reaching an overall growth rate of 4 per cent for the year. For 2026, the IEA forecasts a stronger 6.6 per cent growth, driven by increased industrial and service sector activity and rising use of air conditioners. According to Ministry of Power estimates cited by the IEA, India's peak electricity load this year could touch 270 GW -- up 8 per cent from last year -- and is likely to occur in September instead of the summer months. The peak will be met by expanding generation capacity, the report said. The government is also considering setting air conditioner temperature standards between 20°C and 28°C, which could potentially cut peak demand by as much as 60 GW by 2035. On the generation front, renewable energy sources posted strong growth in the first half of 2025. Combined output from solar and wind plants rose 20 per cent YoY, raising their share in the electricity mix to nearly 14 per cent from 11 per cent in the same period previous year. Solar PV generation was up 25 per cent and wind generation by nearly 30 per cent. Hydropower output rose 16 per cent year-on-year due to improved water availability, while nuclear generation increased 14 per cent, helped by the commissioning of the 700 MW Unit-7 at Rajasthan's nuclear power station in March. Its twin, Unit-8, is expected to start operations in 2025-26, part of India's plan to reach 100 GW of nuclear capacity by 2047 under the Nuclear Energy Mission. The surge in low-emission power generation, along with slower demand growth, led to a 3 per cent drop in coal-fired electricity generation in the first half of 2025 -- the first such decline in the first half of a year since 2020. Gas-fired generation fell sharply by around 30 per cent, returning to 2023 levels. For the full year, coal-based power output is expected to edge up 0.5 per cent before growing 1.6 per cent in 2026, while gas-based generation is likely to decline 3 per cent in 2025 and then rebound 7 per cent in 2026. Nuclear output is expected to rise 15 per cent this year and 19 per cent next year, while solar generation could grow 40 per cent in 2025 and 28 per cent in 2026. Wind power is projected to see growth of about 10 per cent in both years, and hydropower is set to expand 7 per cent in 2025 and 10 per cent in 2026. The IEA also projected that India's emissions intensity will fall by 3.8 per cent annually.
