Bad news for Gautam Adani, US requests assistance from India in alleged bribe case, says Indian authorities ‘have not yet…'
Gautam Adani (File) The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) told a federal court in New York that it has requested assistance from India's Ministry of Law and Justice to serve legal documents to billionaire Gautam Adani and his nephew Sagar in connection with a civil securities case filed last year. The status update filed on August 11 is the same as the last hearing on June 27. What SEC Informed US Court In Adani Case? In the latest update submitted to Magistrate Judge James R Cho of the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York (EDNY), the SEC said it is continuing to pursue formal service of the summons and complaint under the provisions of the Hague Service Convention. The defendants, who are based in India, are yet to be officially served with the summons. The US SEC has to serve the summons to Adani Group founder and chairman Gautam Adani and his nephew Sagar in the alleged USD 265 million payoffs to win lucrative renewable power supply contracts through proper diplomatic channels, as it has no jurisdiction to summon a foreign national directly. What SEC Said About Indian Authorities? SEC said the Indian authorities 'have not yet effected service' to its request for serving the summons. 'The SEC intends to continue communicating with the India MoLJ and pursue service of the defendants via the Hague-Service Convention, and will the court apprised of its efforts,' the filing said. No dates for the next hearing were mentioned. The Adani group has already denied all charges. (With Inputs From PTI)

Andhra Pradesh shrimp farmers seek govt. support amid export tariff woes
In a joint meeting held in Ongole on Tuesday, shrimp farmers' associations from Tirupati, Nellore, Prakasam, Bapatla, Guntur, and Krishna districts urged the Andhra Pradesh government to step in and address pressing challenges facing the aquaculture sector. Prakasam District Shrimp Farmers Association president Duggineni Gopinath highlighted that the sector has been hit hard since former U.S. President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Indian shrimp imports. 'Nearly 40% of our exports go to the U.S., and the increased tariff has severely hurt our earnings,' he said. Gopinath appealed to the State government to provide 50% subsidy on bank loans for setting up mini processing plants. He also suggested including shrimp in the food menus of social welfare hostels and anganwadi centres to boost domestic consumption. The farmer leaders demanded a minimum support price (MSP) of ₹470 per kg for 30-count tiger prawns and ₹400 per kg for 30-count Vannamei shrimp. They also sought uninterrupted power supply at ₹1.50 per unit without additional charges, and urged feed companies to lower prices by at least ₹15 per kg. Resolving to diversify their markets, the farmers said they will focus more on domestic sales and explore exports to South Korea and European countries, rather than depending solely on the U.S. and China.

Donald Trump's sanctions working? SBI bans transactions of Nayara Energy with Russian connection due to...
Donald Trump- File image New Delhi: In a significant development amid the US's increasing pressure on India over economic and trade relations with India, the State Bank of India (SBI) has stopped handling Nayara Energy's trade and foreign exchange transactions due to concerns over US and EU sanctions following a recent US tariff hike. Notably, Nayara, formerly Essar Oil, was acquired in 2017 by a Rosneft-led group and operates India's second-largest refinery (20 MTPA) with 8% of national refining capacity and over 6,500 petrol pumps. Why SBI has banned transactions of Nayara Energy? The Russian company Nayara Energy imports crude, refines it into fuels, and sells domestically and overseas. The trade with troubles escalated after the EU's July sanctions package capped Russian crude prices at $47.6 per barrel, making transactions more difficult amid the increasing threats of tariffs from US. Microsoft restores services to Russian oil firm Nayara Energy In another significant update, Tech giant Microsoft informed that services were restored to the Russia-backed oil exploration and marketing company Nayara Energy, two days after Nayara alleged that Microsoft had abruptly cut off access to its data and services. In a statement, the company said it is 'committed to supporting all its customers in India and worldwide and has restored services for Nayara Energy'. 'We are engaged in ongoing discussions with the European Union towards service continuity for the organisation,' said a company. How is Nayara Energy related to Russia? Nayara Energy, which operates fuel retail outlets in India, is primarily owned by Russia's Rosneft, which owns nearly 49 per cent of the company. Trafigura and UCP Investment Group, both foreign companies, jointly own the majority of the remaining stake via an Indian consortium. Earlier this week, Nayara Energy filed a petition in the Delhi High Court, alleging that the US-based technology firm abruptly and unilaterally suspended essential services without notice.
