Brent crude futures slipped 5 cents, or 0.1%, to $78.31 a barrel by 0042 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) fell 16 cents, or 0.2%, to $74.18. Some progress had been made but several issues remained unresolved in U.S. debt ceiling negotiations, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Thursday, as the deadline ticked closer to raise the federal government's $31.4 trillion borrowing limit or risk default. Negotiators for Democratic President Joe Biden and top congressional Republican Kevin McCarthy reconvened Wednesday at the White House to try to close a deal. Oil prices were also pressured by news that Britain's stubbornly high inflation rate fell by less than expected last month, according to official data that raised the chances of more interest rate hikes.

India banned overseas shipments of broken rice and imposed a 20% duty on exports of various other grades in September 2022 amid concern over production because of below-average monsoon rainfall in key growing states. China was the biggest buyer of India's broken rice, with purchases of 1.1 million tonnes in 2021. Beijing used to import that variety mainly for feed purposes. Though India might consider requests for supplies of broken rice to some countries case by case, New Delhi does not plan to lift the ban on broken rice exports, a government source said. A 90% likelihood of an El Nino weather pattern developing during this year's June-September monsoon season has raised the possibility of less than normal rain in 2023. Monsoon rains are critical for rice output in India. Read More ### Response: YES

The Union government amended the green energy open access rules for the second time, in which it changed the name of the regulation to Electricity (Promoting Renewable Energy Through Green Energy Open Access) (Second Amendment) Rules, 2023. While the latest amendment was notified on May 23, the first amendment was notified on January 27 this year. Under the latest rules, the government has allowed green energy open access to any consumer and the limit of the Open Access Transaction has been reduced from 1 MW to 100 kW for green energy, to enable small consumers also to purchase renewable power through open access. 'Provided that only consumers who have contracted demand or sanctioned load of 100 kW or more, either through single connection or through multiple connections aggregating 100 kW or more located in same electricity division of a distribution licensee, shall be eligible to take power through Green Energy Open Access and there shall be no limit of supply of power for the captive consumers taking power under Green Energy Open Access,' read the latest amendment. The government also extended the scheme to offer a waiver of surcharge for electricity generated through offshore wind by seven years - from 2025 to 2032.  “Provided also that additional surcharge shall not be applicable in case electricity produced from offshore wind projects, which are commissioned up to December, 2032 and supplied to the Open Access Consumers,' read the notification.

Currently, India has no offshore wind project. However, the government is likely to float the first tender on offshore wind soon. 'Green Energy Open Access Rules are a major step towards India going green and cutting emissions by 45 percent in line with India’s updated NDC target for 2030. It will also help bring down power cost significantly. I want you all to take advantage of the new rules and work with a vision to leave behind a greener planet for future generations,' Union minister for power and renewable energy, RK Singh, told industry stakeholders in a meeting held on May 13.

Two sugar mills from the district namely Bhimasingi Cooperative sugar mill and NCS Sugars, a private mill have stopped their operations due to continuous losses and less availability of cane for crushing. The cane farmers are sending their cane to a private sugar mill located on Rajam-Palakonda road but they have to bear heavy transport costs as the mill is located far away. The area under cane cultivation has dropped from earlier 20,000 hectares to 4,505 hectares in 2022 and is likely to lower to 3,500 hectares in the 2023 Kharif season, said experts and farmers. Earlier farmers were attracted to cane cultivation as they were getting getting higher price as compare to paddy cultivation. But they are now turning away from cane cultivation as the input costs have been increased and they are not getting good returns. The government is taking steps to ensure that farmers get better prices for cane by holding talks with the mill management, said district Joint Director of Agriculture V.T.

Speaking at the CII Annual Session 2023, the minister said that the energy demand in the country would continue to grow at a rapid pace for the next 20 years, and energy demand in India would account for 25% of the global demand growth during the period.    He also said that along with the growth in cleaner fuels, the exploration and production of oil and gas in the country also would go up “exponentially'. Citing the recent decision of OPEC and its allies, commonly known as OPEC+, to go ahead with additional production cuts, the minister said that although there were concerns that the move would cause a surge in global crude prices, it did not happen as several member countries of OPEC did not go ahead with the committed production cuts to avoid revenue losses. “India’s energy sector is today witnessing a trilemma in terms of lack of availability, affordability and sustainability, and it is imperative to find out solutions to address these issues,' he said.  He was of the view that due to India’s size and complexity, India cannot afford even a marginal disruption in supply availability. Further, it is essential to prioritize affordability as there is no point in having accessibility without affordability, he added. The third essential focus area is sustainability,, Puri said. Elaborating on the need for availability and affordability of energy supply, Puri said: “In India you can’t afford to suddenly raise prices.' He added that although India is following market principles with regards to setting the price, it continues to need some form of administered price mechanism. The minister said it is essential to prioritize affordability as there is no point in having accessibility without affordability. Further, in terms of energy innovation, the minister stated that India has already significantly reduced the cost per unit of solar power, however, further success will come from the use of green hydrogen or the fuel of the future.  He said that through the national green hydrogen mission, the government has already established an ecosystem for green hydrogen that is conducive to success. ### Response: YES

The state has been allotted the Deocha Pachami Harinsingha Dewanganj -- the world's second-largest coal block -- by the Centre a few years ago. 'We will not do anything like what had happened in Singur (forcible land acquisition for car project). We will start the project with a government-owned land. We are a pro-people government. We don't believe in doing things by force,' she told the Assembly. Advt Banerjee noted that the mining project has the potential of generating nearly one lakh jobs in Birbhum and its neighbouring districts. 'The state government is investing around 35,000 crore in this project, which spans an area of 3.04 lakh acres. Of the 3.04 lakh acres, around 1 lakh make for government-owned land. We have spoken to all the stakeholders to ensure their interests are secured,' she said. The feisty TMC boss further said that her government has prepared an attractive package for those who will be giving up their land for the mining project. 'One member of every family who will have to give up either their home or land will be provided jobs in the police force as junior constable. The government has zeroed in on a compensation package of Rs 10,000 crore for those who would get affected due to the project,' she said in the Assembly. The CM further said that farm labourers would also receive their dues from the package. She pointed out that necessary administrative infrastructure has been set up to start the project. The mine is located in the south-western part of Birbhum coalfield area.

At present the arrival of cotton in the markets has significantly increased, reaching 100,000 bales per day, which is five times the historical average of 20,000 bales in May. This surge in supply is attributed to farmers selling their produce as prices have declined in the futures trade and at the farm gate. The prices of cotton in the future trade have dropped by 8% and at the farm gate by 12% over the past two weeks. This unexpected rise in daily arrivals during May has surprised industry experts, as such levels are typically seen earlier in the year. Ravi Sam, chairman of the Southern India Mills Association (SIMA), noted the unprecedented nature of this situation. The decline in cotton prices is reflected in the drop of the June cotton contract on the MCX by 3.05%. In Maharashtra, spot trade prices have fallen from ₹62,000/candy to ₹57,000, while the price of raw cotton with seeds sold by farmers to ginners has decreased from ₹8,000/quintal to ₹7,000-7,200.     ### Response: YES

Noida, which is among the most industrialised areas in the state, has topped as the district with most exports at Rs 74,000 crore. FIEO says that the government's subsidies to counter the high costs of transportation in view of UP's landlocked status and push to the one district-one product scheme, have helped in taking the exports up. As per the data, the total quantum of exports from UP in 2021-22 was Rs 1.57 lakh crore while from April 2022 to February 2023, it touched Rs 1.59 lakh crore. Sources said that with the input from March 2023, it was expected to touch around Rs 1.67 lakh crore. Compared to other states, UP still has massive potential for improvement. In 2021-22, Gujarat topped all states with exports of Rs 9.46 lakh crore, followed by Maharashtra with Rs 5.45 lakh crore. UP is fifth on the list, behind Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. UP is prominently exporting to the USA, UAE, Germany, United Kingdom, Nepal, France, Spain, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh. Among the products which are driving up the state's exports are telecom instruments, buffalo meat, RMG Cotton including accessories, RMG manmade fibre, leather footwear, saddlery and harness, aluminum and aluminum products, silk and handmade carpets, machinery and engineering goods, wheat, rice, sugar, iron and steel, handicrafts etc. As per FIEO's assessment, the reasons for UP's growth have been the export promotion schemes of the state government. Financial assistance is also being offered on transportation, which helps to regulate the cost of exports from UP, a landlocked state. This includes subsidies on freight and on export cargo sent by air. ### Response: YES

The rainfall arrives at a critical time as Argentina’s farmers start planting wheat in the coming days. The total crop is estimated at 18 million tonnes, up from the 12.4 million tonnes harvested in the previous drought-impacted season. Argentina is the world’s leading exporter of processed soybeans as well as a major corn and wheat supplier, but its production of grains has been hurt by severe drought and other damaging weather events, causing major losses both for farmers and the cash-strapped government. “The arrival of rains improves the prospects for the wheat and barley crops,” the exchange said in its weekly crop report. Argentina's agricultural core, including farmland in northern Buenos Aires province, southern Santa Fe and southeast Cordoba, received up to 75 millimeters (3 inches) of rainfall in the last 24 hours, according to national meteorological service SMN. The grains exchange is expecting a further 10 to 25 millimeters of rain in the same region in the coming days. However, the recent rainfall also has caused delays in the harvesting of soybeans in the current 2022-23 harvesting season, estimated at just 21 million tonnes. Soybean farmers have reaped 78% of the planted area so far. In the previous 2021-22 season, the soybean harvest totaled 43.3 million tonnes. For the 2022-23 corn harvest, farmers have harvested nearly 27% of the planted area, with production estimated at 36 million tonnes. The country’s corn crop reached 52 million tonnes in the previous season. ### Response: NO

China imported nearly 6 million tonnes of wheat from January through April, equal to 60% of last year’s total, according to data from the General Administration of Customs. April’s imports were 141% higher than a year ago at 4.7 million tonnes. Chinese processing companies are replacing domestically grown wheat with overseas product to use as animal feed. This has led to large imports of Australian standard white wheat. About 60% of China’s wheat imports in the first part of the year came from Australia, followed by Canada at 19%, France at 13% and the United States at 8%. Wheat imports are likely to surpass the tariff quota of 9.6 million tonnes for the third straight year, but given the higher tariff rates on shipments exceeding the quota, it’s not expected to be by much. China’s corn imports dropped 8.4% in the January to April period from a year earlier, partially due to the narrowing price gap between wheat and corn.The nation’s soybean imports increased 6.8% in the four months, while rice was down 39.7%.  ### Response: YES

This would be the fifth year in a row that the power tariff in UP has not been increased – the last revision was done in 2018-19. The development also assumes much significance in the run-up to the Lok Sabha polls due next year. The power consumers, essentially in the urban areas, would thus continue to pay their electricity bills as per the earlier slabs. The electricity regulator which held separate public hearings in all distribution companies junked the proposal put forth by the UP Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) suggesting a hike between 18% to 23%. Advt Announcing the tariff, UPERC chairman, RP Singh and commission members BK Srivastava and Sanjay Kumar Singh said that the tariff was not increased because the expenditure suggested by the UPPCL was “not prudent”. The UPPCL had proposed a revenue requirement of Rs 92,564 crore for 2023-24. The commission however approved Rs 86,579 crore. A senior official in the UPERC said that there was no justification for increasing the tariff since the UPPCL was not able to justify any rise in expense.

'Bangladesh is open to purchasing Russian crude if it's offered at an affordable price. 'We are developing our country, meeting our people's needs, and improving their lives,' PM Sheikh Hasina told the media during her visit to Doha on Wednesday. Following India's footsteps she also said that Bangladesh is committed to maintaining friendly relations with all countries and does not take sides in conflicts between nations. Dhaka has been in talks with Moscow to purchase discounted Russian oil, some of which can be transported from India. Advt Bangladesh is currently facing difficulties stemming from an energy shortage and high prices, but the government is taking measures to support the population, Hasina added. ET had earlier reported that India is exploring the possibility of emerging as a transit country to transport Russian oil and gas to Bangladesh. Delhi has geographical location and strong political ties with Dhaka. Last year Hasina has hoped that the import of fuel oil from India through pipeline will start next year. Meanwhile, USA-Bangladesh ties could turn lukewarm over announcement by the State Department. The United States has announced a new visa policy to support Bangladesh’s goal of holding free, fair, and peaceful national elections. The policy will preclude issuance of US visas for any Bangladeshi individuals who are responsible for undermining democratic election process. The US Secretary of State Antony J Blinken made the announcement at a statement on 24 March. The new policy of the U.S. government on denying visa to specific individuals who may undermine the upcoming poll in Bangladesh will not “bother” Dhaka, said Deputy Foreign Minister Shariar Alam. Alam said that the Sheikh Hasina government is “committed” to holding transparent election and that the latest American measure “does not bother” the government of Bangladesh. The Deputy Minister said the Awami League government will give a more detailed response after studying the announcement. Sources told ET from Dhaka that the US administration may have been influenced from certain political quarters to issue this directive.

The scarcity of the cane that has affected the crushing operations of the sugar mills resulting in lower output is the main reason behind the price rise, said Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi. “This is unfortunate that we have to import sugar but we are procuring 180,000 metric tons of sugar to ensure that consumers get sugar at affordable prices,” he said. “Regional markets are experiencing similar situations so we have to import sugar from other markets,” he said. “Our mills are not producing and crushing enough sugar so we have to import sugar within and outside COMESA,” said Linturi. “Increasing area under cane cultivation is the only solution to resolve this problem. We urge farmers to cooperate with the mills that are crushing cane lower than their capacity,” he said. ### Response: NO

The European Union lifted tariffs and other restrictions for an initial 12 months in June 2022.The suspension of all duties has led to complaints from farming groups, culminating in Poland and Hungary banning some Ukraine grain imports in April. The countries became transit routes for Ukrainian grain that could not be exported through its Black Sea ports.Even before Russia's invasion in February last year, Ukraine had been benefitting from the elimination of the vast majority of EU tariffs, in some cases with transition periods, under the EU-Ukraine free trade agreement applied since 2016.However, up until 2022, the EU had retained minimum prices for fruit and vegetables and tariffs and quotas on other sensitive farm products, such as meat, dairy, sugar and some cereals.Five neighbouring countries - Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania and Slovakia - will bar domestic sales of certain grains from Ukraine, while allowing their transit for export elsewhere.The European Parliament has already backed the tariff suspension proposal. ### Response: YES

The government was forced to ban wheat exports in May last year to control the prices of wheat flour or atta. Third Advance Estimates of production of wheat and rice crops for the agricultural year 2022-23 (July 2022-June 2023) have predicted a record high of 112.74 million tonnes (mt) for wheat and 135.54 mt for rice. The increase is, however, marginal, with a rise of 5 mt for wheat and 6 mt for rice. The total foodgrain production in the country is estimated to be a record 330 mt, which is higher by 14.91 mt compared to the previous year, 2021-22. The Ministry had set a target of achieving 328 million tonnes of foodgrain in the agricultural year 2022-23. 'Agriculture sector is developing day by day due to the hard work of farmers, proficiency of scientists, and farmer-friendly policies of the Government,' a press statement by Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on the release of the 3rd advanced estimates stated. The production of sugarcane has seen a boom, estimated at a record production of 494.22 mt. The production of sugarcane during 2022-23 is higher by 54.8 mt than the previous year's production. In addition to foodgrains, the ministry stated that the total oilseeds production in the country during 2022-23 is also estimated to rise to a record 40.96 mt, which is higher by 3.03 mt compared to the previous year's oilseeds production.

Production of food grain is seen nearly 5% higher on year.   In its second advance estimate released in February, the government had pegged food grain output for 2022-23 (Jul-Jun) at 323.5 mln tn.    In 2022-23, the country is likely to see bumper rice and wheat output. Wheat production is seen at 112.7 mln tn this year against 107.7 mln tn in 2021-22, according to the data. The wheat estimate is slightly higher than the government's second advance estimate for the crop at 112.2 mln tn.    India is seen harvesting 135.5 mln tn of rice against 129.5 mln tn estimated for the previous year. In the previous estimate, rice output was pegged at 130.8 mln tn.    According to the estimates, pulses output is seen at 27.5 mln tn in the ongoing crop year, as against 27.3 mln tn in the previous year.   Chana output for 2022-23 is pegged at 13.5 mln tn largely unchanged from 2021-22. Tur output is seen at 3.4 mln tn compared with 4.2 mln tn in the final estimate of last year.   Wheat output in 2022-23 (Jul-Jun) is seen at a new record high, which is set to surpass the previous high of 109.6 mln tn achieved in 2020-21, according to the farm ministry data.    Estimate for sugarcane has also been raised from the second advance estimate released in February. It is also set to touch a new record high in 2022-23 (Jul-Jun), and the estimate is 12.5% higher than last year's output.    As for the next crop season, which is 2023-24 (Jul-Jun), forecasts of setting in of the El Nino climate pattern and the likely hit on monsoon rains in India this year have raised concern that India's food grain output may be affected.   Crops such as sugarcane and rice are heavily dependent on water.    Last month, the India Meteorological Department forecast normal rains during the Jun-Sep southwest monsoon season at 96% of the long-period average, but also said that the El Nino phenomenon may develop in July. El Nino, an abnormal warming of surface ocean temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific, is usually linked to lower rainfall in India. The emergence of a positive Indian Ocean Dipole may, however, offset some of the El Nino impact, the IMD said.    The following table details the third and the second advance production estimates for key crops in 2022-23 and the final estimates for 2021–22 crops. The table also details changes in percentage terms of third advance estimates and last year's output (values in mln tn):   Crop 2022-23 (Jul-Jun) Third Estimate 2022-23 (Jul-Jun) Second Estimate 2021-22 (Jul-Jun) Final Estimate Change from 2021-22 (in %) Rice 135.5 130.8 129.5 4.6 Wheat 112.7 112.2 107.7 4.6 Bajra 11.2 9.78 9.8 14.3 Maize 35.9 34.6 33.7 6.5 TOTAL CEREALS 303 295.7 288.3 5.1 Tur 3.4 3.7 4.2 (-)19.0 Chana 13.5 13.6 13.5 0.0 Urad 2.6 2.7 2.8 (-)7.1 Moong 3.7 3.5 3.2 15.6 Masur 1.6 1.6 1.3 23.1 TOTAL PULSES 27.5 27.8 27.3 0.7 TOTAL FOODGRAIN 330.5 323.5 315.6 4.7 Groundnut 10.3 10.1 10.1 2.0 Soybean 15 14 13 15.4 Mustard 12.5 12.8 12 4.2 TOTAL OILSEEDS 41 40 38 7.9 Sugarcane 494.2 468.8 439.4 12.5 Cotton* 34.3 33.7 31.1 10.3 Jute** 9.1 9.7 9.8 (-)7.1 *Cotton is in bales (1 cotton bale = 170 kg)  **Jute is in bales (1 jute bale = 180 kg)   End   Reported by Sayantan Sarkar Edited by Akul Nishant Akhoury     For users of real-time market data terminals, Informist news is available exclusively on the NSE Cogencis WorkStation.   Cogencis news is now Informist news.

Brent crude futures slipped 5 cents, or 0.1%, to $78.31 a barrel by 0042 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) fell 16 cents, or 0.2%, to $74.18. Some progress had been made but several issues remained unresolved in U.S. debt ceiling negotiations, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Thursday, as the deadline ticked closer to raise the federal government's $31.4 trillion borrowing limit or risk default. Negotiators for Democratic President Joe Biden and top congressional Republican Kevin McCarthy reconvened Wednesday at the White House to try to close a deal. Oil prices were also pressured by news that Britain's stubbornly high inflation rate fell by less than expected last month, according to official data that raised the chances of more interest rate hikes. In the previous session, oil prices were supported by a warning from Saudi Arabia's energy minister that short-sellers betting oil prices will fall should 'watch out' for pain. Some investors took that as a signal that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia, together called OPEC+, could consider further output cuts at a meeting on June 4.

Oil prices fall on US debt uncertaintyOil prices fell in early Asian trading on Thursday after uncertainty that the United States will avoid a debt default weighed against the prospect of further OPEC+ production cuts. Brent crude futures slipped 5 cents, or 0.1%, to $78.31 a barrel by 0042 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) fell 16 cents, or 0.2%, to $74.18. Some progress had been made but several issues remained unresolved in U.S. debt ceiling negotiations, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Thursday, as the deadline ticked closer to raise the federal government's $31.4 trillion borrowing limit or risk default. Negotiators for Democratic President Joe Biden and top congressional Republican Kevin McCarthy reconvened Wednesday at the White House to try to close a deal. Oil prices were also pressured by news that Britain's stubbornly high inflation rate fell by less than expected last month, according to official data that raised the chances of more interest rate hikes. In the previous session, oil prices were supported by a warning from Saudi Arabia's energy minister that short-sellers betting oil prices will fall should 'watch out' for pain. Some investors took that as a signal that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia, together called OPEC+, could consider further output cuts at a meeting on June 4. Oil was also supported by an unexpected, massive fall in U.S. crude oil inventories in the week to May 19, reported by the Energy Information Administration on Wednesday.

As per the third advance estimate of foodgrains released by the Agriculture Ministry, the country's overall wheat production has surpassed the government's target of 112 million tonne set for the current year, notwithstanding unseasonal rains during the harvesting period. Wheat production declined to 107.74 million tonnes due to heat waves in key growing states in the 2021-22 crop year. The previous record of 109.59 million tonne in wheat output was achieved during the 2020-21 crop year. Sowing of wheat, the main rabi (winter) crop, had begun from October onwards, while harvesting is expected to get over by June 15 this year. The total foodgrain production is also estimated to touch a record 330.53 million tonne in the 2022-23 crop year against the actual output of 315.61 million tonnes in the previous crop year, as per the third estimate. ### Response: YES

Although the export policy generally prohibits broken rice exports, the government will now allow shipments based on requests and approval from other nations. This decision was made due to concerns about production caused by below-average monsoon rainfall in key growing states. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) will oversee the export process, granting permission upon the Indian government's approval and the request from the importing country. As part of its economic diplomacy efforts, India plans to send around 1.05 million tonnes of food grains to Nepal, Indonesia, Senegal, and Gambia in the current financial year. India is the second-largest rice producer globally, accounting for 40% of global trade. In the previous financial year, the country exported 17.79 million tonnes of non-basmati rice and 3 million tonnes of broken rice, with a decline in broken rice exports due to the export ban. However, exports of organic non-basmati rice and organic non-basmati broken rice were permitted in December 2022. ### Response: YES

The company has proposed installing 40 submersible fish pens in two mooring grids that would occupy 250 acres of open water roughly seven miles off the coast of Newburyport, Massachusetts, U.S.A. The company hopes to grow salmon and steelhead trout at the farm, along with lumpfish for a research study, using technology from Innovasea. The company submitted plans for the project to the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (MAFMC) in 2020, originally seeking a location off the coast of either Maine, New Hampshire, or Massachusetts. The council helped narrow down potential sites to ones with consistent depth and low vessel traffic, ultimately arriving at the currently proposed site.In June 2021, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued a public comment period for the work, which included further details that the project would require a fleet of six vessels to tend to the fish farm at full buildout. According to a report by the Associated Press, the farm would produce up to 25.6 million pounds, or over 11,500 metric tons, of fish each year.Several environmental NGOs are monitoring the project’s progress out of concern for wild populations of Atlantic salmon, the AP reported.A recent decision by the New England Fishery Management Council will make it easier for Blue Water Fisheries to farm Atlantic salmon in federal waters. The council signed off on an adjustment to its Atlantic Salmon Fishery Management Plan that allows industry members that get authorization from NOAA fisheries to posses farm-raised Atlantic salmon in federal waters. “The council’s original [plan] prohibits directed fishing and possession of Atlantic salmon in the U.S. exclusive economic zone,” the NEFMC said in a press release. “However, the [plan] also gives the council the ability to develop a framework action to authorize salmon aquaculture in federal waters – if it chooses to do so.”Blue Water Fisheries’ farm is not the first offshore aquaculture operation proposed to the MAFMC for the U.S. Northeast. In October 2020, Manna Fish Farms sent its own project materials to the council, seeking permission for a commercial aquaculture farm in federal waters 9 miles off the coast of Long Island, New York. That project sought to raise steelhead trout and potentially black sea bass in submerged net pens. The Manna Fish Farms project plans to deploy 12 to 18 submersible net pens at the site, using StormSafe Submersible Net Pens.  Image courtesy of the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council ### Response: NO

The country’s current governing parties, the Labor Party and the Center Party, reached an agreement with the Venstre and Pasientfokus parties on the tax – giving it the majority it needs to pass. The new agreement sets the tax rate at 25 percent, increases the valuation discount in the wealth tax from 50 percent to 75 percent, guarantees municipalities and counties that harbor aquaculture operations receive higher income from the Aquaculture Fund, and according to a report by E24, also includes several proposals to strengthen the environmental protections and fund aquaculture innovation. At current salmon prices and exchange rates, the tax contribution from the salmon industry would be NOK 5.7 billion (USD 516 million, EUR 481 million), down from the NOK 8 billion (USD 724 million, EUR 675 million) it would have been under the previously proposed 35 percent tax rate. Norwegian salmon companies were thrown into turmoil in September when the government proposed a new resource rent tax on aquaculture, with effect from 1 January, 2023, that would have set a 40 percent tax rate on aquaculture operations. Uncertainty surrounding what the level of the tax would end up being led to a chilling effect on the salmon aquaculture industry as companies laid off workers, canceled planned farm permit purchases, and canceled license-capacity purchases.  The turmoil they faced was revealed in stock prices of leading salmon farmers listed on the Oslo Børs. Mowi, the world's largest salmon farmer, saw its stock price plummet in September 2022 to NOK 140 (USD 12.68, EUR 11.82) per share, its lowest level in five years. SalMar and Grieg Seafood saw their share prices chopped nearly in half in a matter of days.Soon after the agreement was announced on Thursday, 25 May, all three companies enjoyed a spike in their stock prices. Mowi's shares closed the day at NOK 197.15 (USD 17.85, EUR 16.64), up from NOK 185.20 (USD 16.77, EUR 15.63) SalMar’s stock price jumped to NOK 518 (USD 46.91, EUR 43.73) at close, up from NOK 469.70 (USD 42.54 EUR 39.65). Grieg's shares opened the day at NOK 82.10 (USD 7.43, EUR 6.93) and closed at NOK 89.70 (USD 8.12, EUR 7.57).In a press release, Grieg Seafood said the 25 percent rate is “significantly better” than the 40 percent originally proposed. “Grieg Seafood will study the details of the final tax when they have been made public, and evaluate all investments that are put on hold in light of the final tax,” the company said.  Photo courtesy of Terje Aase/Shutterstock ### Response: YES

It is also signing a seven-year contract with JSW Steel, from the same conglomerate, for supplying green hydrogen and green oxygen to produce green steel. In an interview with Moneycontrol, Prashant Jain, Joint MD and CEO of JSW Energy Ltd, speaks about the company’s diversification plans and its performance in FY2023. Edited excerpts: The company’s revenue has grown but the net profit has declined sequentially as well as year on year. What are the reasons? In the fourth quarter of last year, there was one regulatory true-up income in our hydro business because of which we got around Rs 582 crore. If you exclude that, then last quarter our EBITDA was up by 8 percent. And for the quarter, the profit was down by 7-8 percent on an adjusted basis, primarily because of higher interest outgo because we have increased our debt to lever up the balance sheet. But if we look at the year as a whole, our profit after tax was up on an adjusted basis by 5 percent. If you look at the total EBITDA for the entire year, which is Rs 3,820 crore, it is the second-highest operating EBITDA in the history of the company. We clocked Rs 4,000 crore EBITDA in 2015 when the merchant tariffs were ruling very high. So the company has transformed into a sustainable long-term PPA (power purchase agreement) backed business with a very stable EBITDA growth.

In 2021 we announced a capital expenditure programme of Rs 16,700 crore, which is going on. Along with that, we started additional acquisition and capital expenditure of another Rs 5,000 crore. So in total, Rs 32,000 crore capital expenditure program has been undergoing for the last 18-24 months, which will get completed by the calendar year 2024. Of this, I think another Rs 10,000 crore is yet to be spent, which we will be spending in the current financial year. Going forward, we will continue to spend between Rs 12,000 crore to Rs 15,000 crore per year. In our Strategy 2.0, we have announced that we will spend a total of another Rs 85,000 crore in the next seven years, which will be primarily from internal accruals and additional debt which we will assume on our balance sheet. The next year’s (FY25) capex program is Rs 12,000 crore. How much was the capex in fiscal 2023? In 2023, we spent close to Rs 7,500 crore on capital expenditure, plus another Rs 10,100 crore was spent on acquisition. So all this is from the basket of Rs 32,000 crore that I mentioned earlier. What would be the share of renewables in all of this? It's all for renewables mostly, except for Rs 1,700 crore, which would be spent in the thermal segment. Balance everything is going into the renewable segment. Have you firmed up your green hydrogen plans? In this quarter, the Board has approved setting up a 3,800-tonne green hydrogen plant in Karnataka. We will sign a contract with JSW Steel too for which they will be using both green hydrogen and green oxygen to produce green steel, and this would be a seven-year contract during which the entire plant will be amortised, and post that, the contract will be on a variable cost-plus ROE. Before that, it is a cost-plus ROE where we are expecting mid-teen ROEs from this particular business. This is very strategically located. This will be using close to 25 megawatt (MW) of round-the-clock renewable power which is already being set up by JSW Energy. And this will be one of the most competitive and the largest green hydrogen plant which is going into construction. We will be having a first-mover advantage in terms of our learning curve. As and when we see the ecosystem getting developed and more and more opportunities coming up, we will be in a position to capitalise on those going forward. We have a long runway planned for green hydrogen, green ammonia, sustainable aviation fuel, green methanol and green chemical complex going forward. So this is the first step in this particular direction. This plant will be up and running in 18 to 24 months timeframe. How have the merchant sales been in the first quarter of FY24 so far? Last year, power demand grew 9.5 percent, which was pretty good. The demand has not been good in April and May in the current financial year because of the sporadic rains all over the country. But, the power demand is now picking up and we expect it to remain quite robust between 6-7.5 percent in the current financial year. The power tariffs are also improving now. The whole year's average was Rs 5. 96. And we expect the power tariffs to continue to strengthen. Thermal coal prices are coming down as compared to the $136 average for the last quarter. Now, the API2 Index is at $102 and in low CV coal, 4,800 kilocalorie coal adjusted for 6,000 kilocalories is close to $92. So the thermal coal prices are coming down, because of which fuel prices will be lower. In terms of the merchant sales, we should be doing better than what we did last year in terms of the overall volume and also in terms of the contribution because fuel prices are coming down and we expect our contribution margin from the merchant sale to go up for the year as a whole. JSW Energy has completed the acquisition of Ind-Barath Energy (Utkal) Ltd. Besides the enterprise value of Rs 1,048 crore that you have paid, what is the capex plan for that unit and on what will you spend the money? The total enterprise value for the completed plant including the FGD and various other compliances will be under Rs 2,700 crore. We are yet to spend close to Rs 1,650 crore, which we are spending in this current financial year. So out of the Rs 10,000 crore capital expenditure I mentioned earlier, Rs 1,650 crore will be going into the commissioning of Ind-Barath. There are two units of 350 MW each. We are expecting to get the first unit commissioned in the first half of this financial year and the second unit will be commissioned in the second half. This unit will be primarily used for merchant sales for the time being. This is a pithead plant, which is very strategically located where our fuel price will be one of the lowest in the country. And given the macro demand as well as the power scenario, I think it will be quite an attractive investment for us. We will be having a very good contribution from this particular asset in the current financial year and years to come. Can you give us an update on JSW Energy’s possible deal with Continuum Green Energy? Also, post the interest shown in the stake sale of PTC, is the company also looking at similar bids, say for NTPC’s renewable energy arm? We continue to look at various inorganic opportunities and it is part of our strategy to grow our balance sheet. I don't want to comment on any specific asset. However, it is very safe to assume that JSW Energy will continue to look at various inorganic opportunities as we did in Mytrah. If we find any attractive opportunity in this space which is lucrative to all our shareholders and also fits into our growth strategy, we will be certainly looking at it. The company is already working on a 500 MW battery storage project in Rajasthan, you also got the PLI allotted for solar manufacturing from the government, and now JSW Energy also won the tender for a 300 MW pumped storage project in Karnataka. Give us a timeline of all these projects. Of the two storage projects, one is a battery storage project with SECI. We are expecting it to be up and running in the calendar year 2024 between October and December. PPAs for this are in the final stages. In terms of the PCKL tender for 2.4 gigawatt-hour for the pump storage project, the construction time from the signing of the PPA will be 36 months. We are expecting to sign the PPA in the current financial year and then we will start construction, which will take 36 months. For the PLI scheme for backward integration of wafer cell and module manufacturing facility, we are in the final stage of negotiations with the state government for an incentive package. We are expecting this to complete by the calendar year 2024 itself. In another 18 months timeframe, this will also be up and running. So all these projects will be funded by internal accruals as well as debt. The project costs for wafer cell and module manufacturing will be around Rs 1,600 crore and for hydro pump storage, it will be approximately Rs 2,000 crore. For the SECI battery storage project, what’s the rate at which the PPAs are likely to be signed? This is for 60 percent capacity and it is tied up with SECI, in which there is a lease rental of around Rs 10.8 lakh per megawatt per year contract. So based on that, we are expecting mid-teen to high-teen or maybe higher equity IRRs (internal rate of return). For the solar module manufacturing project, will there be still some imports that the company will have to do? We will be importing only polysilicon for the modules. Everything else will be from India only – be it aluminium sections, glass, the insulation. Read More ### Response: YES

Plastics are ubiquitous and often foundational in the production process. Yet, the petrochemicals and plastics industries are experiencing their own tectonic changes. It’s time to talk about a new technology race — the polymer race — and what will separate the winners from the losers.Global net oil refinery volume growth in 2024 is projected to be the highest since 1977, according to an RBC Capital Markets forecast published in April 2023. Refining capacity is expanding at a rate unseen in nearly two generations. And while some are predicting an end to this upward trend and threatening to leave refining capacities stranded, in the long run, they are probably mistaking short-term volatility for something else.Simultaneously, a shift in the global distribution of polymer market share is taking place. Competition is intensifying between traditional industry leaders and new players entering the scene. As reported by Plastics Europe, the European share of global polymer production fell to 15% at the end of 2021, while total world production grew by 4%, with China gaining even more significant share. At the same time, India is emerging as a regional leader set to dominate the Asian market. Market intelligence firm GlobalData predicts that India will account for 47% of new-build and expansion refinery projects in the next five years. Also, as of 2022, Russia has been blocked from direct involvement in the global polymer value chain, with restrictions or limitations placed on its oil and gas exports, while the United States has overtaken the European oil and gas market. In a recent report, international management consultancy Roland Berger described this set of tectonic changes as the “seventh disruption” of the global polymer market. But one could call it another race for technological supremacy.The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruption to global supply chains, leading to shortages of raw materials and finished products. This has resulted in a shift in the distribution of market shares, with new players emerging to fill the gaps left by traditional suppliers in all areas. The polymer market is a critical component of the global economy, with applications in a range of industries, including packaging, automotive, construction, and electronics, and it also suffered from disruption to global supply chains.The polymer market is dominated by a few major players, including Dow Chemical, BASF, ExxonMobil, Chevron, LyondellBasell, and so forth. These companies have traditionally controlled a significant share of the market, but the disruption caused by the pandemic has opened the door for new players, notably India and Vietnam, which also welcomed production facilities transferred from China. The transfer of production facilities from China to other countries was one of the key drivers of this disruption. China has long been a major producer of polymers, but the pandemic highlighted the risks associated with relying on a single supplier. The flow of goods can be severely disrupted because of internal policies, such as the massive shipment delays that resulted from China’s zero COVID policy. Consequently, many companies started looking to diversify their supply chains or even moving production back to their home countries, as has happened in the United States facilitated by the Biden administration’s Build Back Better plan.But the pandemic really gave visibility to a trend that had started earlier. In 2018, a trade war of sorts began between China and the United States, when the Trump administration banned state agencies from using systems or equipment produced in China. As the two countries’ high-tech sectors were broadly interdependent, that perpetuated the idea of domestification of the major advanced manufacturing facilities by the two leading global economies. The war in Ukraine and subsequent sanctions imposed on Russia added another factor driving disruption — a shortage of raw materials.Many companies across the globe struggled to secure the raw materials needed to produce everything from microchips to other products, leading to shortages and price increases. The plastics industry was no exception. Overall, the disruption to the global polymers market is likely to continue for some time. Countries are racing to bring production facilities back and secure the raw materials they need to meet demand.As the market continues to evolve, the global economy and the industries that rely on polymers will feel the impact. All the leading world economies will try to localize technology-intensive and strategic production within their own country or region of influence to build up technological sovereignty. The US federal government has supported the development of the Polymer Cluster Initiative within the Build Back Better plan. India is launching its Barmer mega oil refinery and petrochemical complex. Both countries are enjoying growing exports of fuel and crude oil to the European Union at elevated prices. And China is flourishing with investments from the Middle East and cheap oil and gas from Russia, which are significantly boosting polymer production.According to Roland Berger, countries that are able to localize production chains and technologies faster than others and have the resources to operate these chains within their own markets will win. But countries will face a trade off.First, it’s hard to make localized full-cycle manufacturing economically feasible, as there is no opportunity to leverage cheaper raw materials, a low-wage labor force, or differences in currency exchange rates. Reducing ecological standards could save money.Second, greater concentratation of petrochemical manufacturing facilities makes it harder to meet high environmental standards while maintaining profitability. Balancing the two could result either in rising prices for all industrial and consumer products — since plastics are ubiquitous — or raise the risk of subverting local environmental concerns. The situation is even more complex when one takes into consideration that currently promoted “green” alternatives rely heavily on synthetic polymers, such as poly(methyl methacrylate) to make LCD screens, high-density polyethylene to produce electric vehicle components, and ethylene to make photovoltaics.The scenarios described above — deglobalization, radical price increases, and environmental challenges — are hypothetical and represent just the most extreme ways the situation might evolve. However, global trade data already show early signs of reglobalization. This global shift in the plastics industry creates certain incentives at the local level along with a wealth of opportunities.To increase efficiencies in refinery processing and reduce resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, the plastics and petrochemicals industries are heavily investing in R&D — it is expected that global R&D expenditures in this field will double by 2030. This also creates incentives and opportunities for local producers of all kinds — from packaging to transportation and even renewable energy generation — as, again, polymers are used virtually everywhere. In accordance with Roland Berger’s concept of the seventh disruption to the polymers market, in the long term, those who win the race to localize production, form markets, and achieve high environmental performance will rule the future. About the authorDan Pototsky is a graduate of Zhejiang Gongshang University, a consulting adviser on markets, and a junior research specialist on international trade. ### Response: YES

Aluminium scrap prices lost 200-300 yuan/mt last week. The price difference between primary aluminium and aluminium scrap barely changed. Some aluminium scrap suppliers held back cargoes in the first half of the week as aluminium prices kept falling, but became more willing to sell after aluminium prices rebounded. Downstream enterprises restocked as needed and overall transactions declined a little. Considering weak aluminium prices, tight aluminium scrap supply and the off-season, aluminium scrap prices may drop slightly this week. ### Response: YES

Brent crude futures climbed 39 cents, or 0.5%, to $77.34 a barrel by 2317 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $73.12 a barrel, up 45 cents, or 0.6%. U.S. President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Saturday reached an agreement in principle to suspend the $31.4 trillion debt ceiling. Both leaders expressed confidence on Sunday that members of the Democratic and Republican parties will vote to support the deal. However relief for global financial markets could be short-lived as once the deal is approved, the U.S. Treasury is expected to issue bonds that will further tighten liquidity and make funding more expensive for companies already reeling from high interest rates. Last week, Brent and WTI notched a second consecutive weekly gain of more than 1% on the progress of the U.S. debt ceiling talks and after Saudi energy minister warned short-sellers betting oil prices will fall to 'watch out' for pain. Some investors took the warning as a signal that OPEC+, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia, could consider further output cuts at a meeting on June 4. However, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said last week he expected no new steps from OPEC+ as a decision on voluntary production cuts was made just a month back. U.S. energy firms cut rigs for a fourth week in a row, with oil rigs down by five to 570 last week to their lowest since May 2022, energy services firm Baker Hughes Co said in its weekly report on Friday. Investors are watching for China's manufacturing and services data this week as well as U.S. nonfarm payroll data on Friday for signals on economic growth and oil demand. ### Response: YES

The steel-to-infrastructure group is exploring the mineral assets in countries like Australia and Mozambique etc, they said. 'JSW Group is exploring possibilities to acquire coking coal mines in offshore markets like Mozambique, Australia etc for captive purposes,' sources said. Captive coking coal mines will help group company JSW Steel reduce its cost of production for manufacturing steel, they explained. When contacted, a JSW Group spokesperson declined to make any comment. JSW Steel is into manufacturing steel through the blast furnace route, a process which requires coking coal as a key raw material. Due to the unavailability of coking coal, India remains dependent on imports to meet 85 per cent of its coking coal needs from far-located countries like Australia, South Africa, Canada and the US. Specifically, JSW Steel meets 60 per cent of its coking coal requirement via imports. JSW Steel is among India's top six steel manufacturing companies. ### Response: YES

The annual energy consumption in the state has increased by over 31 per cent in the last six years – from 50,077 million units in 2017-18 to 65,830 MU in 2022-23. The power utilities met the all-time high per-day energy demand of 251 MU on May 18. As part of meeting the future energy demand, the state government has taken measures to enhance power generation installation capacity in the state. The government has laid special emphasis on increasing the renewable energy generation capacity that would help the state ramp up its power generation capacity. Advt Special chief secretary (energy), K Vijayanand, said the government has already announced a renewable energy export policy 2020 to establish wind, solar, and hybrid projects to strengthen the energy sector. “Besides, pumped hydro storage projects with a capacity of around 33 GW have been planned both on river and off river sites. With the completion of these projects, AP will be number one in the power sector in the country and can export surplus power to other states. This will also ensure that the power becomes cheaper and cleaner which ultimately fulfils the objective of the state government to provide cost effective power to consumers in the state.,” said Vijayanand. “Chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and energy minister Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy are keen on providing reliable power supply to consumers and free power to agriculture. The government entered into an agreement with the Solar Energy Corporation of India to procure 7,000 MW of solar power to continue the 9-hour daytime free power to agriculture for the next 25 years,” added Vijayanand. APGenco managing director KVN Chakradhar Babu said the Genco is supplying around 102 to 105 million units per day to the state grid. “This is around 40 to 45 per cent of the total energy demand and is highest ever after bifurcation of the state. The Genco is making all-out efforts to improve coal stocks and is also ensuring cost effective and efficient generation of power at better heat rate and optimisation of fuel resources. APGenco will strive hard to be the best organisation at national level in power generation and maintaining the highest plant load factor,” said Chakradhar Babu.

SAPDC will operate the facility for a period of 25 years, excluding the construction period of five years, before transferring the ownership to the Nepal government. Nepal will receive 21.9 per cent of the electricity generated at the power plant as free power during these initial 25 years of commercial operations. The development of giving second project to SJVan comes days before Nepal's Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal's visit to India from May 31 to June 3. The 54th board meeting of the IBN chaired by Dahal approved the draft on Sunday, said a press statement issued by the IBN. On April 14, the 53rd meeting of the IBN approved an investment worth Rs 92.68 billion proposed by SJVN, to develop the project. The project is located in the Sankhuwasabha and Bhojpur districts. The Lower Arun project will not have any reservoir or dam and will be a tailrace development of Arun-III, which will mean water re-enters the river for the Lower Arun project. Advt This is the third project undertaken, all through negotiation windows, on the Arun River after the 900 MW Arun-III and 695 MW Arun-IV hydroelectricity projects. The three projects will generate nearly 2,300 MW of electricity from the river in Sankhuwasabha district. The $1.3 billion project, the single biggest foreign investment project, as per the 2017 cost estimates, is located in Sankhuwasabha and Bhojpur districts. This is the second mega project undertaken by the southern neighbour after the $1.04 billion 900-MW Arun-3 hydroelectric project in the Arun river.
