GAIL seeks 5-to-10-year LNG deal, sources say
State-run GAIL (India) Ltd is seeking liquefied natural gas (LNG) for delivery from 2027 under a five-to-10-year deal linked to Brent crude oil prices , four sources aware of the inquiry said. The Indian company is looking to buy six cargoes of the super chilled gas in 2027, and eight cargoes in the second year of the deal, they said. From the third year onward, GAIL is seeking to buy one cargo every month, they said. The deadline for submitting offers closes on July 24, added two of the sources. India's largest gas distributor GAIL is seeking a long-term deal as it has started operating its Dabhol LNG terminal throughout the year after the installation of a breakwater. The facility can handle 5 million metric tons per year (tpy) of LNG. GAIL plans to increase the capacity of Dabhol to 6.3 million tpy by mid-2027 and to 12.5 million tpy by 2031-32. Live Events A spokesman for GAIL said there was no comment on the inquiry available.

India-US yet to finalise trade deal, but a confident Donald Trump says ‘going to have access into India'
US President Donald Trump has signalled ongoing progress towards a trade deal with India, declaring confidently, "We're going to have access into India", even as the details remain under negotiation. Speaking on Tuesday, Donald Trump credited his administration's tariff measures for opening markets previously closed to American businesses, emphasising, 'You have to understand, we had no access into any of these countries. Our people couldn't go in. And now we're getting access because of what we're doing with the tariffs.' While a deal between New Delhi and Washington remains to be finalised, Trump drew parallels to the recently announced agreement with Indonesia, where the US will face zero tariffs on exports, and Indonesia will impose a reduced tariff rate of 19 per cent. On the Indonesia agreement, Trump said, 'So we made a deal with Indonesia. I spoke to their really great president, very popular, very strong, and smart. And we made the deal. We have full access to Indonesia... As you know, Indonesia is very strong in copper. But we have full access to everything. We will pay no tariffs.' Donald Trump added, "So they are giving us access into Indonesia, which we never had. That's probably the biggest part of the deal. And the other part is that they are going to pay 19 per cent, and we are going to pay nothing. I think it's a good deal for both parties." The agreement was described as "finalised" on Trump's Truth Social platform, though Indonesia had yet to make a public statement. While US-India trade talks continue with negotiations intensifying ahead of deadlines, India remains the largest US trading partner facing reciprocal tariffs, with discussions focusing on expanding market access and tariff reductions on goods estimated between $150 billion and $200 billion in bilateral trade. According to media reports, India and the US aim to boost bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030, but talks are stalled over dairy imports. India refuses American dairy, citing cultural concerns, and seeks stringent certification for imports, emphasising the protection of its dairy industry and small-scale farmers. India has clearly called it a "non-negotiable red line" to safeguard its citizens and is seeking a stringent certification that assures imported milk comes from cows not fed animal-based products such as meat or blood.

Best of BS Opinion: High drama, stark contrasts, and subtle turns
There's something timeless about watching old Bollywood films. The slow pans, dramatic lighting, and silent longing in a glance, everything was coded, layered, and deceptively simple. Unlike the flashy saturation of today's Instagram reels, those monochrome moments knew that complexity often hides in contrast. That's how the current world feels too. At first glance, it seems disparate: inflation numbers, a language row, China's strategic tone, income inequality debates, and a re-examination of India-Israel relations. But like the classics, each carries subtext, contradiction, and a black-and-white simplicity that only deepens with closer look. Let's dive in. Take India's cooling inflation. Vegetable prices dipped by nearly 19 per cent in June, pulling retail inflation down to 2.1 per cent. But under that calm surface, oils and fats jumped 17 per cent, and core inflation remains sticky. As the RBI's Monetary Policy Committee weighs holding the repo at 5.5 per cent, the script shifts from price control to long-term reforms, notes our first editorial. The good monsoon may play hero this season, but the central bank, ever the stoic lead, refuses to overact. Meanwhile, the three-language formula of NEP 2020 is sparking fresh regional drama. In Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu, it's not just about learning Hindi, it's about identity, autonomy, and electoral posturing. The Centre's push is seen by some as cultural dominance, though the Madras High Court ruled that RTE funds can't be held back over NEP non-compliance. The debate is familiar, and like in black-and-white films, what's left unsaid often says the most, highlights our second editorial. Overseas, the dragon is rewriting its own script. Shyam Saran finds China's confidence growing despite economic stumbles, rooted in its reading of American decline. With PLA purges and renewed aggression towards India, Beijing is back to playing antagonist, but with a sharper edge, more willing to back Pakistan, and dismissive of Indian clout. India, Saran warns, needs to shift from reactive cameos to strategic lead. At home, Ram Singh challenges the popular belief that inequality is soaring. The World Bank's latest data suggests India now has one of the lowest consumption inequality rates globally. Critics cite missing elite data, but Singh argues that even flawed numbers show a trend: more equitable consumption, stronger welfare, and a rise in bottom-half income share. The story of India's poor isn't just poverty anymore, it's progress too. Finally, Chintan Girish Modi reviews Hostile Homelands: The New Alliance between India and Israel, where Azad Essa explores India-Israel ties not as new-age alignment but as a long-standing, pragmatic bond. Essa draws a line from secret arms deals in 1962 to the booming defence trade today, arguing ideology isn't the main glue, strategy is. Stay tuned!
