Rs 10k crore green hydrogen and ammonia facility to come up near Mulapeta in AP
Vijayawada-based renewable energy player Juno Joule Green Energy Pvt Ltd has inked a memorandum of understanding with German clean energy company Select Energy GmbH to co-develop an export-oriented green hydrogen and ammonia facility in Andhra Pradesh at an investment of US$1.3 billion (approx Rs 10,000 crore).
The project, which will come up near Mulapeta port along the country's east coast, will be developed in three phases and aims to produce around 180 KTPA (kilo tonnes per annum) of green hydrogen by 2029, which will be converted into up to one million tons of green ammonia annually for export.
Construction on the project, which will be built to meet stringent EU RFNBO (EU Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin) norms, is expected to commence in 2026.
The project is expected to generate around 5,000 to 6,000 direct and indirect jobs across operations, construction, logistics, and support sectors.
It will also lead to technology transfer, upskilling of local talent, and the emergence of AP and Telangana region as a clean energy hub on the global map, the company said.
The facility will include an advanced desalination plant to sustainably source high-purity water from seawater, electrolysers powered by a diversified mix of solar, wind, and hydropower, and port-connected pipeline infrastructure for efficient large-scale exports.
The MoU was signed by Juno Joule Green Energy CEO Nagasharath Rayapati and Select New Energies GmbH managing director Felix Danger at the World Hydrogen Summit 2025 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

High-cost loans, Trump turmoil hurting Africa, says G20 panel chief
Critically needed economic growth in Africa is being held back by high borrowing costs imposed by international lenders, with unpredictable US policy changes adding to the strain, the head of the G20 panel on the continent said. Seasoned politician and anti-apartheid activist Trevor Manuel chairs the panel of experts working on proposals to address issues affecting Africa, including high debt, to be presented at a summit of the Group of 20 leading economies in November. African nations are not necessarily more indebted than major economies but they face higher debt servicing costs, Manuel told AFP in an interview. The "unbelievably expensive and prohibitive" cost of capital for African nations has hobbled their development, said Manuel, who served as finance minister in post-apartheid South Africa for more than a decade. "We know that the risk premiums in general on Africa are much higher than they need to be, and that impacts them on the debt service costs," he added. More than half of Africa's 1.3 billion people live in countries with debt interest payments higher than social spending on health, education and infrastructure, according to the South African government. South Africa is the only African nation in the G20 and has made debt sustainability for developing countries one of the priorities of its presidency of the group of 19 countries, the African Union and European Union. African countries will pay close to $89 billion in external debt service alone this year, with 20 low-income countries at risk of debt distress, it says. Manuel said the panel will seek to persuade the entire G20 to engage with multilateral development banks, in particular the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, to address the issue of borrowing costs. Abrupt changes in global order since US President Donald Trump took office in January, such as sweeping aid cuts and trade tariffs, will have long-lasting ramifications for the continent, Manuel said. Trump's "capricious" announcement in April of major trade tariffs effectively did away with the African Growth and Opportunity Act, a major US-African trade deal that had helped to build some African economies, he said. He cited as examples the tiny kingdom of Lesotho, which faces 50 percent tariffs on exports to the United States, including jeans and golf shirts, and Madagascar, which sends vanilla pods and is threatened with 47 percent tariffs. "It becomes unbelievably difficult for small countries that try and develop export markets, for their products to be struck by these sudden announcements," Manuel said. "There's no time for adjustment." Adding to the pressure is the termination of USAID programmes and a push for NATO countries to increase defence spending, which restricts what they have available for overseas development assistance. "The impact on the African continent is going to be very severe," said Manuel. "We can't abstract Africa from the rest of the globe." "The realm of policymaking requires a greater degree of predictability and certainty than what we see at the moment," he said. "The fact that there are these occasional outbursts that aren't informed by reality as I see it... makes it even more complex." Manuel said his panel's work on better understanding the African economy and developing solutions was likely to continue beyond this year's G20, for example, via the UN Economic Commission for Africa and the African Union. This included looking at "intra-African dynamics" such as the role of the African Continental Free Trade Area launched in 2019. Conflicts also cost the continent, he said, citing the war in Sudan and unrest that has held back a major gas project in impoverished northern Mozambique. "When countries spend more on war than what they do on the upliftment of people, then we face profound consequences," Manuel said. He said a strong United Nations and African Union were important in "persuading countries to do the right things" in the long term, beyond the sometimes disruptive short electoral cycles that usher in new leadership and policy changes. "If you don't have those kinds of objectives, which frequently will not be completed within a particular electoral cycle, I think we run ourselves into the ground." br/ho/rl/cms

Maggi crisis among career's greatest challenge: Nestle India MD Suresh Narayanan
Packaged foods maker Nestle India 's chairman and managing director Suresh Narayanan called out India as a market with a mix of ' inflationary pressures and unexpected opportunities,' in his last letter to the company's shareholders. Narayanan , associated with Nestle for over 26 years, will retire from the India role on July 31 this year, to be succeeded by former Amazon India top boss Manish Tiwary. "We live in capricious times, inflationary pressures , muted consumer demand , tightening of the wallet - wrapped up in a decade of challenges and unexpected opportunities,' Narayanan wrote in the company's just released annual report for 2024-25. Noting that 'volatilities will come and go', Narayanan said his first 100 days as Nestle India chairman 'were one of the greatest challenges of his career'. In 2015, Nestle's mainstay brand, Maggi instant noodles, was banned by food regulator FSSAI on allegations of some samples of Maggi containing lead in excess of permissible limits. The brand was cleared by authorities subsequently and was restored back on shelves, but the controversy took a huge toll on Maggi and the entire instant noodles category that year. Narayanan noted that now India is the world's largest market for the Maggi brand, as the company navigated 'the black swans and gray rhinos'. The maker of Maggi noodles and Nescafe coffee reported a 5.2% year-on-year decline in standalone quarterly net profit at Rs 885 crore for the March-April '25 quarter, impacted by commodity costs. The company's domestic sales touched a quarter high at Rs 5,235 crore, up 4.2% from a year ago, with revenue from operations up 4.5% y-o-y to Rs 5,504 crore. The company said it invested around Rs 6,500 crore between 2020 and 2025 to develop new capabilities and capacity. Narayanan said Nestle added 1.3 million more retail outlets last year, with presence in close to 209,050 villages. On brand reach, he said Nescafe brought more than 43 million households into the coffee category, confectionery tripled its business in the last decade and that the prepared dishes and cooking aids business doubled the Maggi franchise in India. Nestle's capex has gone up from 1.8% of sales in 2015 to 10% in the FY 2024-25, he said. The past decade has seen Nestle's revenue grow at a CAGR of 10.3% and profit from operations higher by 13.5%.

WHSmith India sets sights on 5x expansion by 2028 with Rs 100 cr bet on travel retail boom
WHSmith India , the Indian counterpart of the British travel retail company, is eyeing a 5x growth over the next 3 years. Currently, the brand runs 40 stores in India across stations, airports, and university campuses, and is planning to take the store count to 200 by 2028, Shantanu Chakravartty, CEO and director of WHSmith India, told ETRetail. The travel retail brand, which closed the last fiscal with Rs 200 crore revenue along with 8 per cent EBITDA profitability and is aiming to grow its topline to Rs 500 crore and 12-13 per cent EBITDA profitability in the next three years. "We are quite bullish on the travel retail market as international passenger traffic is expected to grow 21 per cent year-on-year, and domestic passenger traffic is expected to grow 14 per cent year-on-year, and it has a direct impact on our business," he asserted. The brand, which is planning to invest Rs 100 crore to aid its expansion plans , will now be looking at opening stores at railway stations and highways, along with expanding its base at the airports. Currently, the brand operates in 3 main categories - food, non-food, and books. "Food contributes to 60 per cent of our revenue, and the remaining 40 per cent is equally divided between non-food and books. However, going ahead, we plan to focus on the books category a little more. There's a lot of potential to grow in this category. We are also exploring the idea of opening exclusive bookstores," he stated. Apart from this, it operates 2 other store formats - Zoodle and Memories of India, with one operating store of each at Hyderabad and Kochi airport, respectively. "Zoodle offers toys, and Memories of India offers souvenirs and gifts. We plan to open 10-12 stores of each going ahead," he said. Shantanu Chakravartty has recently been appointed as the chief executive officer and director of WHSmith India. He has been associated with the brand for the past seven years. Globally, WHSmith operates more than 1,700 stores across 30 countries.
