Indian Stock Markets Lifted by Cooling Oil Supply Fears

By Pallab Bhattacharya Newscript, August 18, 2025 Indian equities are poised to open stronger on Monday as easing concerns over Russian crude supplies filter through global energy markets. Diplomatic overtures between Washington and Moscow over the weekend have reassured investors that neither fresh sanctions nor retaliatory tariffs on Russian oil are imminent, a signal that has dampened fears of disruption to India’s lifeline imports. Energy import costs remain India’s Achilles’ heel, with oil accounting for nearly 89 per cent of its consumption. Any volatility in supply often reverberates immediately in equity markets, squeezing the rupee and widening fiscal deficits. The latest developments have tempered anxieties, with futures on both the Nifty 50 and Sensex reflecting gains i...

By Team Newscript, August 15, 2025 India Energy News – August 15, 2025 Reliance Industries Buys Fuel Oil from HPCL Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL), India’s largest private sector refiner, has purchased fuel oil from Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (HPCL) for the first time in several years, signalling a shift in domestic petroleum trade patterns. The deal comes against a backdrop of tightening global refined product markets and geopolitical constraints on Russian energy flows, which have disrupted established trade routes. Traditionally, Reliance has exported fuel oil from its Jamnagar complex, capitalising on overseas demand. The decision to source domestically from HPCL points to a tactical recalibration aimed at optimising refinery margins as export opportunities narr...

Global & India Energy Briefing

By Team Newscript August 12, 2025 India hits 50% non-fossil capacity five years early NEW DELHI, Aug 12 — India’s installed electricity generation capacity from non-fossil fuel sources has reached 50 per cent — five years ahead of its 2030 Paris Agreement commitment. The portfolio includes 234GW from clean energy (solar, wind, large hydro), 8.7GW nuclear, and 242GW thermal. This milestone reflects strong policy measures such as the Production-Linked Incentive scheme, accelerated auctions, and substantial private investment from players like Adani Green Energy. Analysts note the symbolism: coal remains dominant in absolute terms, but clean capacity is expanding at unprecedented speed. With demand forecast to grow over 6 per cent annually through 2030, peak load management will re...

By Team Newscript Power Demand and Monsoon Slowdown India’s electricity demand softened in the first quarter of FY26 as an early monsoon tempered consumption across industrial and residential sectors. Major private utilities — Tata Power, Adani Power, and JSW Energy — reported declines of 1.3–1.6% in Q1 demand, a reversal from the 11% surge seen in the same quarter last year. The slowdown comes after two consecutive years of above-average growth, driven by post-pandemic recovery and prolonged summer heatwaves. Analysts say the early onset of monsoon rains in June cooled peak-hour loads and reduced air-conditioning demand. While the short-term dip eases strain on the grid, utilities warn that reduced dispatch volumes could compress margins. Demand is expected to recover in Q3 as ag...
