Mike Waltz Stammers When Questioned On Leaked Houthi Strikes In US Senate Hearing
Tesla is finally here. After years of negotiations and delays, Elon Musk's electric carmaker Tesla has rolled into India. The electric vehicle giant has launched its first showroom in Mumbai's Bandra-Kurla Complex. This is expected to be followed by more outlets in Delhi and elsewhere. The Mumbai showroom will help the electric carmaker gauge market potential in India, as it looks to expand its global footprint. The starting price of Tesla's Model Y is nearly Rs 60 lakh or 69,770 dollars, thanks to India's steep import duties. Will it be a smooth ride or a bumpy road ahead for Tesla in India? Can it compete with luxury cars like BMW and Mercedes-Benz? Will its prohibitive price be a challenge for Tesla? Can Tesla survive the ultimate test- the Indian roads?

Indian refiners unfazed by European Union's new Russia oil sanctions
Fuel export to Europe is already on decline after record 2023 S Dinakar Amritsar Listen to This Article Indian refiners are relatively unconcerned by the European Union's (EU) new round of sanctions on exports of Russian oil and the banning of purchases of fuels made from Russian grades, according to conversations with state-owned and private refiners, industry participants, and exclusive ship-tracking data. Private-sector refiners — against which the latest EU sanctions package is primarily directed — such as Nayara, have already found ways to circumvent these sanctions, market intelligence data shows. Also working in favour of Indian refiners and banks is New Delhi's strong stance against the EU's 18th sanctions package, along with a parallel move by the

Russian oil giant Rosneft says EU sanctions on Indian unit unjustified and illegal
Russian oil giant Rosneft on Sunday termed as unjustified and illegal the sanctions that the EU has slapped on its Indian unit, Nayara Energy. "Rosneft Oil Company considers the European Union's decision to impose restrictive measures on the Indian refinery of Nayara Energy as unjustified and illegal," it said in a statement. "These sanctions are yet another example of extraterritorial implementation of politically motivated restrictions that blatantly violate international law and infringe on the economic interests of a sovereign state." ALSO READ: India's $15 bn oil exports to EU at risk amid new Russia sanctions The European Union on Friday imposed sanctions on the Indian oil refinery of Rosneft and lowered the oil price cap, as part of a new raft of measures against Russia over its war in Ukraine. The fresh sanctions package on Russia included new banking restrictions and curbs on fuels made from Russian crude oil. The lowered oil price cap - currently set at USD 60 per barrel - means Russia will be forced to sell its crude at reduced rates to buyers like India. As the second-largest purchaser of Russian oil, India stands to benefit from this move. Russian crude currently accounts for nearly 40 per cent of India's total oil imports. "Rosneft emphasizes that it is not a controlling shareholder of Nayara Energy - the Company's share in the authorized capital of the enterprise is less than 50%," the Russian firm said, adding Nayara is managed by an independent Board of Directors. Rosneft said the European Union's grounds for imposing sanctions are completely far-fetched and false in content. "Nayara Energy is an Indian legal entity whose economic activity is aimed at the development of its assets. The entity is taxed entirely in India. "Nayara Energy shareholders have never received dividend payments and the accumulated profits have been used exclusively for the development of the refinery and petrochemicals and the company's retail network in India," it said. The Nayara Energy refinery is a strategically important asset for the Indian energy industry, providing a stable supply of petroleum products to the country's domestic market. "The imposition of sanctions against the refinery directly threatens India's energy security and will have a negative impact on its economy," Rosneft said. "Such actions of the European Union demonstrate complete disregard not only for international law, but also for the sovereignty of third countries. "Rosneft views these sanctions as part of the EU's destructive policy aimed at destabilizing global energy markets. The restrictions on Nayara Energy are yet another example of the EU's use of unfair competition practices," it said. Rosneft said it is counting on the fact that Nayara Energy will take measures to protect the legitimate interests of its shareholders and consumers, which will be supported by the governments of Russia and India.
