Today’s top economy & business news: Oil rises to $84; Power Ministry to states; Tata Power Solar ₹538 crore orders and more

 

Evening wrap:

Oil prices continued to trend up, rising to $84 a barrel as global demand rebounds. The impact was felt on the Indian rupee, which continued its slide against the U.S. dollar. Indian shares scaled a new high, led by banking and consumer stocks.

As the power situation worsens, India’s Power Ministry has asked states to use unallocated power from central generating stations (CGS). Unassigned units are usually supplied to needy states to meet their power requirement. The ministry has also asked power companies to first meet their customers’ needs before selling units in power exchanges.

Tata Power Solar bagged orders worth ₹538 crores to set up multiple distributed ground-mounted solar projects totalling 100MW. In other corporate development, Akasa Air received the nod from the Ministry of Civil Aviation. The airline is backed by investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala and ex-Jet Airways CEO Vinay Dube. Former IndiGo president Aditya Ghosh will be on the airline’s board. – John Xavier

Later today, the Union government is expected to release September consumer price inflation, and August Industrial production data. – John Xavier

Energy crisis could threaten global economic recovery: IEA

The global energy crunch could boost oil demand by half a million barrels per day (bpd), fuelling inflation and slowing the world’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said. 

Oil and natural gas prices have skyrocketed to multi-year highs recently, leading to record power prices across the world.

EU rules will raise cybercrime risks: Apple

The group wants regulators to loosen Apple’s grip on its App Store so they can bypass it to reach Apple’s hundreds of millions of users and also to avoid paying commissions of up to 30{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} for purchases made in the Store.
