India Plans to Increase Oil and Gas Refining Capacity, Bucks Global Trend: PM Modi

India is poised to increase its oil and gas refining capacity even as there is global uncertainty over the crude oil situation amid the Middle East crisis, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday while inaugurating a greenfield refinery in Rajasthan, India.Modi highlighted that while the US has not built a new refinery in 50 years and Europe's capacity is shrinking, India has become the fourth-largest refining nation in the world."And we will not stop here - in the coming years, this capacity will increase further. These efforts enabled India to fight and overcome the greatest energy crisis of the century." Modi said.The new HPCL Rajasthan Refinery is a joint venture between Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (NSE:HINDPETRO, BOM:500104), which holds a 74% stake, and the state government of Rajasthan, which has the remaining 26%.

India Business Activity Slows in June as Manufacturing, Service Cool, S&P Says

Business activity across India's private sector slowed in June due to a decline in the manufacturing and service sectors, according to final data compiled by S&P Global and released Friday.The final HSBC India Composite Purchasing Managers' Index slid to 57.1 in June from 59.3 in May, well above the 50.0 mark that separates expansion from contraction.Manufacturers and service companies lowered their output forecasts in June, while private-sector firms also restricted the increase in selling prices as cost pressures softened, S&P said in its note Friday.Aggregate sales volumes grew at their weakest pace within three months.Job creation was also at its weakest so far this year, according to S&P.India's services PMI, released the same day, declined to 57.4 from 59.8 in May, the slowest growth in 17 months, HSBC Chief India Economist Pranjul Bhandari said in the note.The figures show a loss of momentum amid challenging market conditions and slower interest for some services.While new export orders grew at the fastest pace in three months, slowing cost pressures also curbed charge inflation as tensions in the Middle East began to cool down, Bhandari said.Norder intakes also saw the slowest expansion in more than two and a half years, S&P said.Service companies that also saw growth noted "competitive" pricing, higher e-commerce demand, and enhanced tourism. Those that saw slower growth cited challenging market conditions and subdued client interest.Service companies paused hiring as staffing counts were sufficient for current needs.Outstanding business volumes saw stability in June, according to S&P.Exports also increased during the month on demand from clients in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Malaysia, Nepal, Oman, Qatar, Singapore, the UAE, and the U.S.India's manufacturing sector would also have to step up to offset the decline in services, CNBC reported June 26, citing Morgan Stanley Chief Asia Economist Chetan Ahya.The manufacturing PMI fell to 54.2 from 55 the previous month.

India Says Growth Outlook Improves as West Asia Tensions Ease; Flags Monsoon, Geopolitical Risks

India's economy remained resilient in the opening months of 2026-27 as easing tensions in West Asia have improved the growth outlook by reducing inflation and external sector risks, the Finance Ministry said in its monthly economic review.Inflation is likely to remain relatively contained in the coming months, supported by lower global commodity and crude oil prices, easing input costs and government supply-side measures. Strong exports, foreign direct investment inflows and ample foreign exchange reserves also continue to support the economy.Industrial activity and investment momentum remain healthy but some high-frequency indicators point to a moderation in growth. Uneven monsoon rainfall, emerging El Niño conditions and geopolitical uncertainties, including potential disruptions to oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, remain key risks to the outlook.
