Increased outward FDI by Indian companies ‘warrants attention': Finance Ministry
Even as Indian companies turn 'cautious' on investing within the country, and the global economic scenario remains uncertain, the increased outward foreign direct investment by Indian companies 'warrants attention', the Ministry of Finance has noted in a new report. The Hindu had previously reported how the Reserve Bank of India's data showed that, in 2024-25, Indian companies invested a total of $29.2 billion in other countries, 75% higher than the previous year, which was a major contributor towards India's net foreign direct investment (FDI) figure falling 96% to just $0.4 billion. 'That Indian overseas direct investment increased nearly by $12.5 billion during the year FY25, even as uncertainty reigned in the world, warrants attention, especially given their cautious attitude towards domestic investment,' the Department of Economic Affairs of the Ministry of Finance noted in its Monthly Economic Review (MER) released on Tuesday (May 27, 2025). Data from the private sector database Centre for Monitoring Economy (CMIE) shows that the Indian private sector is indeed turning more cautious about its plans, as exhibited by a rising ratio of projects cancelled versus new ones announced. Analysis by The Hindu of the CMIE data shows that the ratio of dropped projects to new project announcements by the Indian private sector — where a higher ratio indicates higher caution — has risen steadily to 36% in 2024-25 from 30.8% in 2023-24, and 21.8% in 2022-23. This rising trend breaks a streak where this ratio had been falling since 2018-19. This cautious approach is confirmed by the latest Forward-Looking Survey on Private Sector Capex Investment by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), cited in the Finance Ministry's report, which shows that Indian corporates are planning fewer investments in this financial year as compared to last year. According to this survey, Indian corporates expected to invest ₹6.6 lakh crore in 2024-25, up 57% from the ₹4.2 lakh crore of actual capital expenditure they incurred in 2023-24. However, in the current financial year 2025-26, this number is again expected to fall to ₹4.9 lakh crore, according to the survey. 'The slightly lower intended capital expenditure for FY26, though still above FY24 levels, reflects cautious planning after a strong FY25,' the MER noted. Overall, the MER said the trend indicates growing corporate confidence and a 'judicious approach to investment' in an evolving global scenario.

FINAL DEADLINE ALERT: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Solaris Energy
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. ('Solaris' or the 'Company') (NYSE: SEI) and reminds investors of the May 27, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company. As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements Share Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) Mobile Energy Rentals LLC ("MER") had little to no corporate history in the mobile turbine leasing space; (2) MER did not have a diversified earnings stream; (3) MER's co-owner was a convicted felon associated with multiple allegations of turbine-related fraud; (4) as a result, Solaris overstated the commercial prospects posed by the Acquisition; (5) Solaris inflated profitability metrics by failing to properly depreciate its turbines; and (6) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. On March 17, 2025, Morpheus Research published an investigative report alleging, among other things, that MER had been 'a ~$2.5 million revenue equipment leasing business based out of a condo with zero employees, no turbines, and no track record in the mobile turbine rental industry.' The report revealed that one of MER's co-owners, John Tuma ('Tuma') was in fact, a 'convicted felon' for 'environmental crimes and lying to the court 'on multiple occasions under oath'' and was involved in a '$800 million gas turbine scandal… that included allegations of bid rigging [and] corruption.' Despite being 'nothing more than a small, local switchgear rental business at the end of 2023' MER was 'seemingly transformed throughout the first half of 2024 – just months before it was acquired by Solaris' immediately after Tuma joined the Company. The report then described how, in that period, MER had acquired substantially all of its turbines, primarily financed through the $71 million in debt that Solaris would later pay in the Acquisition. Contrary to Solaris's claims 'that MER had a 'contracted and diversified earnings stream[,]'' in fact, 'that 96% of its Power Solutions revenue was derived from a single customer[.]' On this news, Solaris' stock price fell $4.15, or 16.9%, to close at $20.46 per share on March 17, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume. The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not. Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Solaris' conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others. To learn more about the Solaris Energy class action, go to or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Mobile Energy Rentals LLC ('MER') had little to no corporate history in the mobile turbine leasing space; (2) MER did not have a diversified earnings stream; (3) MER's co-owner was a convicted felon associated with multiple allegations of turbine-related fraud; (4) as a result, Solaris Energy overstated the commercial prospects posed by the MER acquisition; (5) Solaris Energy inflated profitability metrics by failing to properly depreciate its turbines; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Solaris Energy's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Solaris Energy class action, go to call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@ for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
