Prathima Foundation, the social welfare arm associated with Prathima Group, has developed a programme portfolio that extends across healthcare, education, women’s empowerment, livelihoods and rural outreach in Telangana.

The Foundation was graced by presence of former President of India Pranab Mukherjee in 2015 at Hyderabad.

Dr. Harini Boinipally, Executive Director of Prathima Group, is associated with the Foundation as a founder-member. She has been described by the Foundation as a doctor by profession and a social worker by choice, with a role in conceptualising development initiatives for underserved communities.

The Foundation’s healthcare work has included free cardiac surgeries for 114 underprivileged children between the ages of zero and 14. These surgeries were performed with support from a team of doctors from London. The Foundation has also supported treatment access for patients with sickle cell anaemia, thalassemia and other blood-related disorders through facilities linked to Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, or PIMS.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Foundation deployed mobile health units that delivered healthcare services to around 36,000 rural residents. It also distributed one crore masks across Telangana, according to earlier media coverage. Ambulance support has formed another part of its health access work, with 11 ambulances provided free of cost to remote villages.

A major long-running programme is the Mother and Child initiative. According to details shared by the organisation, the programme has been running since 2001 and offers pre-to-post natal care at a subsidised cost of ₹2,000. The programme has supported more than 30,000 deliveries in Telangana.

The Foundation’s work in women’s empowerment includes sanitary pad distribution drives, installation of sanitary pad disposal machines in girls’ schools and livelihood support for single and destitute women. Earlier media coverage has recorded the distribution of 500 sewing machines to women for livelihood development.

Education and skill development form another part of the Foundation’s community work. Three vocational skill development centres have been established at Nagaram, Raikal and Ammakkapeta. Earlier coverage reported that these centres trained 4,150 youth, with 4,120 securing employment. The Prathima Study Hall, initially launched in 2018, has supported government job aspirants and has helped around 300 students secure positions in group services, police and banking.

The Foundation has also contributed to school infrastructure. Under Telangana’s Mana OoruMana Badi initiative, it constructed a school building at Veernapalli mandal headquarters in Rajanna Sircilla district at a cost of ₹7.50 crore. It has also provided 32 electric pottery wheels to traditional potters and extended financial assistance to students for higher education.

The Foundation's community work draws its strength from the wider institutional presence that Prathima Group has steadily built across Telangana. The Group today operates across healthcare, medical education, infrastructure, telecommunications, manufacturing, aviation, hospitality and renewable energy. Its healthcare network has expanded to 2,500 beds, reflecting decades of sustained investment in the region's medical landscape. PIMS, which was established in 2001 with 150 MBBS seats, has since grown into a well-regarded medical institution now operating with 400 seats, underscoring the Group's continued commitment to advancing healthcare education in the state.

In a region where access to quality healthcare has long been determined by circumstance rather than need, Prathima Foundation has spent over two decades working to rewrite that reality, steadily, compassionately and with an unwavering belief that every life deserves equal care.

Japan’s economy grew at an annualised 1.4 per cent in the April-June quarter, up from the initial estimate of 1.1 per cent, as stronger-than-expected business investment provided a boost to growth. The revised figures released by Japan’s Cabinet Office on Tuesday showed quarterly real GDP growth of 0.4 per cent, compared with the earlier 0.3 per cent estimate.

The revision offers a somewhat stronger picture of the Japanese economy ahead of a closely watched Bank of Japan (BOJ) policy meeting, where investors are assessing the possibility of another interest-rate increase.

GDP Revision Beats Initial Estimate

The latest Cabinet Office data confirmed that Japan’s real GDP expanded 0.4 per cent from the previous quarter during April-June. On an annualised basis, that translates into 1.4 per cent growth.

The quarterly expansion was stronger than the initial 0.3 per cent estimate, although it remained below the 1.6 per cent growth that economists had expected, according to Reuters.

The revision suggests the economy retained some momentum despite pressure from weak domestic demand and an uncertain external environment.

Corporate Investment Drives Upgrade

The biggest change came from business investment.

Corporate capital spending declined 0.9 per cent in the second quarter, an improvement from the initial estimate of a 1.2 per cent contraction. The smaller decline was enough to lift the overall GDP calculation.

Separate data has also pointed to continued corporate spending on plant and equipment, indicating that companies have remained willing to invest despite economic uncertainty.

That resilience is significant because business investment remains an important component of Japan’s strategy to support productivity and longer-term economic growth.

Consumer Spending Stays Weak

Household demand remains a weaker part of the recovery.

Private consumption, which accounts for more than half of Japan’s economy, was essentially unchanged from the preliminary estimate. The Cabinet Office data showed household consumption remained weak during the quarter.

The subdued performance suggests that stronger corporate activity has not yet translated into equally firm household demand.

Japan is also dealing with persistent cost pressures, making the outlook for consumer spending an important factor for policymakers.

Exports Continue Supporting Growth

External demand remained an important contributor to the second-quarter expansion.

Net exports, representing exports minus imports, added 0.5 percentage point to GDP growth. That contribution was unchanged from the preliminary estimate.

However, domestic demand remained a drag. Its negative contribution was revised to 0.1 percentage point from the earlier 0.2 percentage point estimate, indicating that the weakness was less severe than initially calculated.

The figures therefore point to an economy supported by exports and corporate activity rather than broad-based domestic demand.

BOJ Rate Hike In Focus

The GDP revision comes at a critical point for the Bank of Japan.

Investors are closely watching whether stronger economic activity and rising wages will give policymakers greater confidence to raise borrowing costs again. Japan’s real wages increased 2.4 per cent year-on-year in July, their strongest increase since May 2021, according to Reuters.

The BOJ raised its policy rate to 1 per cent in June, its highest level in decades. The latest economic figures could strengthen expectations of another increase, although policymakers must balance inflation risks against weaker household demand.

Economic Recovery Remains Uneven

The revised GDP numbers provide encouraging evidence that corporate activity remains resilient, but they do not indicate a uniformly strong recovery.

Business investment performed better than initially estimated, while exports continued to contribute significantly. At the same time, household consumption remained subdued and domestic demand continued to weigh on growth.

That combination means the sustainability of Japan’s recovery will depend partly on whether stronger wages and corporate investment eventually translate into higher consumer spending.

Japan Faces Policy Test

The stronger Japan Q2 GDP growth reading gives policymakers a slightly firmer economic backdrop as they consider the next phase of monetary normalisation. The Cabinet Office’s latest figures confirm quarterly growth of 0.4 per cent and annualised expansion of 1.4 per cent.

The key challenge now is whether Japan can turn corporate resilience and wage gains into sustained domestic demand. For the BOJ, the balance between inflation, wages, consumption and investment will remain central to its next interest-rate decision.

Britain's position as a preferred home for the world's wealthiest people is facing renewed scrutiny as high-net-worth individuals explore moving their tax residence overseas.

The latest high-profile example is hedge-fund billionaire Chris Rokos, founder of Rokos Capital Management, who is moving his residency from the UK to Greece. Rokos reportedly paid himself £477 million last year as his $22 billion hedge fund benefited from volatile financial markets.

His decision has drawn attention to a broader debate over Britain's tax environment and whether changes introduced by the government are making the country less attractive to internationally mobile wealth.

Tax Rules Change Wealth Equation

The biggest change came on April 6, 2025, when Britain abolished its long-standing non-domicile tax regime.

Under the new rules, UK residents are generally subject to tax on worldwide income and gains, although qualifying new residents can receive a four-year exemption on certain foreign income and gains if they have spent at least 10 consecutive years outside the UK.

For wealthy individuals with businesses, investments and property across several countries, the changes can materially alter the cost of maintaining UK tax residence.

That has prompted some internationally mobile investors to examine alternatives.

Inheritance Tax Adds Pressure

Inheritance tax rules have also changed.

From April 2025, long-term UK residents can potentially face UK inheritance tax on overseas assets, with residence becoming more important in determining the scope of the tax.

For individuals with substantial international assets, the change can influence long-term estate planning.

The combination of income, capital-gains and inheritance-tax changes has therefore become an important consideration for wealthy families deciding where to establish their primary residence.

Millionaire Outflow Debate

The scale of Britain's alleged wealth exodus remains disputed.

Henley & Partners estimated that about 16,500 millionaires left the UK on a net basis in 2025, taking an estimated $91.8 billion in combined wealth with them.

However, its latest 2026 report has changed its approach and no longer publishes headline millionaire inflow and outflow estimates in the same way. Instead, it focuses on the factors influencing global wealth mobility.

The firm's data still points to significant interest among people with UK addresses. Applications to Henley & Partners from such individuals increased 15 per cent between 2024 and 2025.

Foreign Wealth Remains Important

The data also highlights how international Britain's wealthy population is.

In 2026, foreign nationals represented 53 per cent of applications originating from UK addresses, while British citizens accounted for almost half.

That distinction matters because not everyone considering relocation is a British citizen. London and other UK financial centres have long attracted wealthy international residents who can potentially move their tax residence without severing all business links with Britain.

As a result, changes to tax policy can influence decisions by both British nationals and overseas investors.

Official Data Shows Smaller Shift

Government figures, however, do not support claims of an immediate mass departure on the scale suggested by some private wealth-migration estimates.

HM Revenue & Customs said in July that the number of non-domiciled taxpayers fell by around 400, or 0.5 per cent, to 73,400 in the 2024-25 tax year.

Around 9,000 people left the non-dom population during the period, but approximately 8,600 new non-doms arrived.

The remaining group generated £9.7 billion in liabilities from Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax and National Insurance.

HMRC has also said it does not maintain specific statistics tracking high-net-worth individuals who leave the UK.

Why Britain Still Attracts Wealth

Despite tax concerns, Britain retains major advantages for wealthy individuals.

London remains a global financial centre with deep capital markets, established professional-services firms, prestigious educational institutions and extensive international business connections.

These factors can outweigh higher taxes for some investors and entrepreneurs.

The UK's large financial and legal ecosystem also means that leaving the country can involve more than simply changing a tax address. Business operations, family circumstances, investments and access to professional networks can all influence the decision.

Wealth Exodus Remains Unclear

The evidence therefore presents a more complicated picture than a straightforward billionaire exodus.

Some prominent wealthy individuals are changing their tax residence, while private wealth advisers report strong interest from people considering international relocation. At the same time, official figures show that Britain's non-dom population declined only marginally during the 2024-25 tax year.

The bigger question is whether recent tax reforms will produce a sustained shift in where global wealth is based.

For Britain, the stakes extend beyond individual tax receipts. High-net-worth residents contribute through taxes, investment, employment and spending, while financial and professional-services industries depend partly on London's continued ability to attract international capital.

If wealthy residents increasingly choose lower-tax jurisdictions, policymakers could face a difficult balance between raising revenue and maintaining Britain's appeal as a global financial hub.

With immediate effect, dishes that restaurant partners have declared as containing analogue dairy have been delisted from the platform.

 The move is a consumer-first step, driven by Zomato's own commitment to transparency and food quality.

This is where handcrafted footwear for women offers an interesting alternative to purely mass-produced styles. Details such as embroidery, threadwork, embellishments, construction and finishing can give a pair greater visual character. JM Looks explores this space through a footwear range that brings traditional Indian influences together with contemporary fashion preferences.

A Diverse Footwear Wardrobe for Different Occasions

Footwear choices depend on lifestyle, outfit requirements and personal preferences. From ethnic occasions to everyday activities, different silhouettes serve different purposes. 

Choosing Footwear Based on Occasion and Lifestyle 

A useful footwear collection should accommodate different parts of everyday life. Juttis and flats can work well with ethnic outfits, while heels may suit formal dinners or celebrations. Sneakers can support casual dressing, whereas sandals, loafers, Mary Janes, wedges and boots provide additional options for changing outfits and occasions.

JM Looks' current product ecosystem includes categories such as juttis, heels, sneakers, Mary Janes and boots, giving shoppers different silhouettes to consider. This variety matters because footwear is closely connected with activity, outfit structure and personal preference. A single style rarely performs equally well across every situation. 

For example, someone attending a wedding may prioritize decorative detailing and ethnic styling, while an office-goer may value a stable heel, easy movement and understated design. Students or frequent commuters may prefer lightweight sneakers or flats. Building a varied footwear wardrobe therefore allows style choices to follow the occasion rather than forcing one pair to do everything.

The Beauty of Handcrafted Juttis

Handcrafted juttis represent a unique combination of traditional artistry and modern comfort. Their appeal comes from detailed embroidery, decorative elements and cultural influences. .

Traditional Embroidery and Detailing That Define Juttis 

Juttis have a distinctive place in Indian footwear because their appeal comes from both silhouette and surface decoration. Traditional shapes can be enhanced through floral embroidery, threadwork, beads, sequins, motifs and other decorative elements. These details create visual texture while retaining the recognizable character of ethnic footwear.

Several JM Looks jutti designs feature floral embroidery, leaf motifs, bead embellishments and handcrafted detailing. Some styles also incorporate cushioned insoles, flexible soles and slip-on construction, showing how traditional-looking footwear can be adapted around contemporary expectations of convenience and wearability.

The attraction of embroidered juttis is not limited to weddings. A detailed pair can complement a kurta set, saree or lehenga, but can also introduce an ethnic accent to a simpler contemporary outfit. This versatility makes handcrafted juttis useful for shoppers who want traditional design without restricting their footwear to occasional festive wear. 

What Makes Footwear Feel Premium?

The word "premium" can mean different things to different shoppers, so examining construction is more useful than relying on labels. Material quality, stitching, finishing, sole construction, cushioning, flexibility and fit are practical factors that can influence how footwear performs and feels during regular use.

Craftsmanship, Stitching and Finishing Quality 

Stitching deserves particular attention in handcrafted footwear because decorative work needs to remain securely attached to the upper. Embroidery, beads and other embellishments should appear consistently finished, while loose threads or poorly secured decorative elements can affect both appearance and durability. Good finishing reflects attention to detail during construction.

Comfort, Fit and Everyday Wearability 

Comfort also depends on more than cushioning alone. The shape of the footwear, flexibility of the sole, inner lining, available sizing and overall fit influence the wearing experience. JM Looks product descriptions, for example, highlight cushioned insoles and flexible construction on selected jutti designs, demonstrating why these features are relevant when assessing everyday usability. 

Traditional Design Meets Modern Fashion

Traditional footwear continues to evolve by adapting to modern wardrobes. Handcrafted designs can now complement both ethnic and contemporary outfits. 

Styling Handcrafted Footwear Beyond Traditional Outfits 

One reason ethnic footwear continues to remain relevant is its ability to move beyond strictly traditional wardrobes. A pair of embroidered juttis can complement a saree or lehenga naturally, but the same footwear can also work with a kurta set, midi dress or carefully styled Indo-western ensemble.

Colour selection can make this transition easier. Metallic, neutral, pastel and darker shades can often be incorporated into different outfits without competing heavily with the clothing. More decorative designs can become the focal point, while simpler footwear can provide balance when an outfit already contains strong prints, embroidery or accessories.

Contemporary styling is also about contrast. Pairing traditional juttis with modern clothing creates visual interest by combining familiar cultural elements with newer silhouettes. This approach allows ethnic footwear for women to become an everyday fashion choice rather than something reserved exclusively for festivals, weddings or ceremonial occasions.

Choosing Footwear According to Lifestyle

The right footwear should match daily activities, comfort expectations and styling preferences. 

Footwear Choices for Work, Casual and Festive Wear 

For office environments, practical silhouettes such as loafers, understated flats, Mary Janes or modest heels can provide a polished appearance without becoming unnecessarily elaborate. Neutral colours are generally easier to coordinate with professional wardrobes, while a comfortable fit becomes especially important when footwear is worn for several hours.

College and everyday casual dressing usually call for footwear that supports movement and repeated use. Sneakers, flats and comfortable sandals can be useful choices because they work with jeans, trousers, dresses, kurtas and other relaxed outfits. The priority should be a balance between personal style, stability, fit and ease.

Weddings and festive occasions create more room for decorative footwear. Embroidered juttis, embellished flats, heels and wedges can complement heavily detailed clothing while adding another layer of visual interest. However, event footwear should still be evaluated for cushioning, fit and sole flexibility, especially when celebrations involve several hours of standing or walking.

For evening events, heels can change the proportions and character of an outfit. Block heels may provide a more stable alternative to narrow heels, while kitten heels offer a lower-profile option. Wedges can also provide additional height with a different distribution of support, making them worth considering based on individual comfort.

How to Choose the Right Pair

Buying footwear requires consideration of usage, comfort, style preferences and proper sizing. 

Factors to Consider Before Buying Footwear Online 

Before purchasing any footwear, shoppers should consider where and how often they expect to wear it. A highly decorative pair may be ideal for occasional celebrations, while a simpler design could provide greater wardrobe flexibility. Thinking about existing clothes, preferred colours and typical daily activities can make purchasing decisions more practical.

Sizing should also be approached carefully because footwear dimensions can vary between manufacturers and silhouettes. JM Looks provides size information on its product pages, including foot-length references for several sizes. Checking the relevant size chart before ordering can help shoppers make a more informed decision, particularly when purchasing online.

Material and care requirements are equally important for embellished footwear. Decorative surfaces may require more careful storage and cleaning than plain everyday shoes. Keeping footwear dry, avoiding unnecessary exposure to moisture and storing detailed pairs separately can help preserve embroidery, embellishments and overall finishing between uses.

Why Craftsmanship Still Matters

Handcrafted footwear represents more than decoration. It reflects creativity, skill and attention to detail. 

The Value of Handmade Details and Individual Character 

Small variations in embroidery, thread placement or surface detailing can contribute to the individuality of a design. Craftsmanship also draws attention to the human skill involved in transforming a basic footwear structure into something with a distinct visual identity.

For consumers, appreciating craftsmanship can lead to better purchasing decisions. Instead of judging footwear only by colour or trend value, shoppers can examine construction, detailing, materials, comfort features and versatility. This approach helps distinguish products based on tangible characteristics rather than relying entirely on marketing descriptions.

JM Looks reflects this intersection of traditional detailing and contemporary footwear categories. Its jutti offerings include embroidered and embellished designs, while its broader fashion ecosystem covers modern footwear styles as well. The result is a collection that can appeal to shoppers moving between ethnic, casual and contemporary wardrobes.

Building a Versatile Footwear Collection

A balanced footwear collection includes styles that support different occasions and routines. It is footwear wardrobe does not necessarily require dozens of pairs. 

Creating a Balanced Collection for Different Occasions 

A practical wardrobe can include everyday footwear, ethnic styles, casual options and occasion-ready designs. Selecting versatile pieces allows women to express personal style while remaining comfortable. 

A few carefully selected silhouettes can cover many situations: one comfortable everyday option, one versatile ethnic pair, a casual sneaker, a practical heel and a more decorative occasion style. The exact combination depends on lifestyle, climate, workplace and personal fashion preferences.

Handcrafted juttis can occupy an especially versatile position within such a collection. Their traditional character makes them suitable for ethnic outfits, while embroidery, colour and silhouette can also complement contemporary clothing. Choosing designs that coordinate with several outfits can increase their usefulness beyond a single season or celebration.

Ultimately, good footwear combines visual appeal with functional considerations. Craftsmanship gives a product character, while thoughtful construction contributes to comfort and durability. When shoppers evaluate both aspects together, they can build collections that express personal style while remaining practical for the occasions and routines that shape everyday life.

The growing interest in handcrafted footwear for women reflects a broader shift toward products that offer individuality alongside practical value. Embroidery, embellishment and traditional silhouettes provide cultural character, while cushioning, flexible soles, fit and contemporary styling help make footwear relevant to modern wardrobes.

JM Looks sits within this intersection of traditional-inspired craftsmanship and contemporary footwear choices, offering styles ranging from handcrafted juttis to modern categories such as heels, sneakers, Mary Janes and boots. For shoppers, the most useful approach is to evaluate each pair through craftsmanship, comfort, versatility and intended use rather than appearance alone.

4. Are embroidered juttis suitable for everyday wear?

Embroidered juttis can be suitable for everyday wear when their construction, fit and comfort features support regular use. Simpler designs may be easier to incorporate into daily wardrobes, while heavily embellished pairs can be reserved for occasions.

Britain's permanent hiring market returned to growth in August for the first time since September 2022, offering an early sign that the country's prolonged recruitment slowdown could be easing.

The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and KPMG monthly survey showed its permanent placements index rising to 50.5 in August from 50.0 in July. A reading above 50 indicates an increase in permanent placements, while a reading below 50 signals contraction.

Although the improvement was modest, it marked the first expansion in permanent placements in almost four years.

The figures provide tentative evidence of stabilisation in Britain's labour market, although declining vacancies and continued economic uncertainty suggest employers remain cautious.

Permanent Hiring Returns To Growth

The August reading represents a notable change after almost four years of contraction in permanent recruitment.

The index had remained below the 50 threshold for an extended period as companies reduced hiring amid weak economic conditions, uncertainty over demand and pressure on business costs.

Moving to 50.5 does not indicate a dramatic hiring boom. Instead, it suggests the balance between recruiters reporting increases and decreases in permanent placements has shifted marginally towards growth.

That distinction is important because other indicators in the survey remain weak.

Vacancies Continue To Fall

Despite the improvement in permanent placements, the number of available vacancies continued to decline in August.

However, the pace of decline was the second weakest in nearly two years, suggesting that demand for labour may be stabilising.

Recruitment agencies therefore reported a mixed picture: fewer vacancies remain available, but the rate at which opportunities are disappearing has slowed.

For businesses, the figures point to a labour market that may be moving away from the sharp weakness seen during the previous period without yet returning to sustained expansion.

Temporary Hiring Also Strengthens

Demand for temporary workers provided another positive signal.

Temporary staff billings increased at their second-fastest pace in more than three years, according to the REC-KPMG survey.

Companies often turn to temporary recruitment when they need additional workers but remain reluctant to make long-term commitments.

The stronger performance in temporary hiring could therefore reflect increased business activity while employers continue to exercise caution over permanent headcount.

It also suggests that companies may be using flexible staffing arrangements as they assess the durability of the economic recovery.

More Workers Available

The supply of potential workers also increased during August.

Candidate availability rose at its fastest rate in three months, with redundancies contributing to the larger pool of people seeking employment.

For employers, greater candidate availability can make recruitment easier and reduce pressure to compete aggressively for workers.

For jobseekers, however, the increase carries a more complicated message. A larger pool of candidates partly reflects people losing existing jobs, even as permanent hiring shows signs of improvement.

The labour market is therefore experiencing stronger recruitment activity alongside continued employment insecurity in some sectors.

Starting Pay Gains Momentum

Pay growth for newly recruited permanent workers also strengthened.

Starting salaries for permanent positions increased at their fastest rate since January, indicating that employers were prepared to offer higher pay for new recruits despite broader caution over hiring.

The combination of stronger starting salaries and improved permanent placements could signal increased competition for workers in particular areas of the economy.

However, the overall effect remains limited because vacancy numbers continue to decline.

Businesses Remain Cautious

The labour market has faced a prolonged period of uncertainty, with companies remaining cautious about expanding their permanent workforce.

Economic conditions, business costs and uncertainty over the outlook have encouraged many employers to delay recruitment decisions.

The August figures suggest that some of that caution may be easing.

But the survey does not yet provide enough evidence to conclude that Britain has entered a sustained hiring recovery. A single monthly reading just above the 50 threshold represents only a tentative improvement.

Recruiters will be watching subsequent surveys to determine whether the August rebound can be sustained.

Labour Market At Turning Point

The latest data present a mixed but slightly more encouraging picture of Britain's jobs market.

Permanent placements have returned to growth, temporary hiring has strengthened and the decline in vacancies has slowed. Starting salaries have also recorded their strongest growth since January.

At the same time, vacancies are still falling and candidate availability has increased partly because of redundancies.

The result is a labour market showing early signs of stabilisation rather than a full recovery.

If permanent placements continue to rise over coming months and vacancy declines eventually stop, the August figures could prove to be an important turning point.

For now, however, employers and workers remain exposed to the broader economic outlook, making the next few months crucial for determining whether Britain's recruitment market has genuinely moved beyond its prolonged downturn.

A growing shortage of fuel oil, a crucial fuel for ships and some power generators, is threatening to increase operating costs across the global shipping industry as war-related disruptions squeeze refinery output and tanker traffic.

Refiners are increasingly prioritising higher-value products such as diesel, gasoline and jet fuel, leaving less fuel oil available for the marine-fuel market. At the same time, ships taking longer routes to avoid conflict-affected waterways are burning additional bunker fuel, adding further pressure to already tight supplies.

Energy consultancy Energy Aspects forecasts a global fuel-oil deficit of around 218,000 barrels per day in the third quarter, which would represent the first significant projected shortfall since the third quarter of 2025.

The tightening market is particularly important for Asia, where major bunkering centres rely heavily on imported fuel oil.

Global Fuel Oil Supply Tightens

Fuel oil is widely used as bunker fuel for ships and as a feedstock in some refining processes.

The current supply squeeze has been intensified by disruptions affecting refineries and oil flows in Russia and the Middle East. Refiners are responding by directing crude and intermediate products towards fuels offering stronger profit margins.

That has reduced the amount of fuel oil available for direct consumption.

Rystad analyst Valerie Panopio told Reuters that prolonged disruption in the Middle East was expected to keep fuel-oil supply “critically tight” during the third quarter.

The situation is particularly significant because fuel oil markets operate with relatively limited flexibility when supplies are disrupted.

Refiners Prioritise Diesel

Refinery economics are playing a major role in the tightening market.

Diesel, gasoline and aviation fuel have generally offered refiners stronger margins than fuel oil. At the same time, inventories of some transport fuels have fallen sharply.

This is encouraging refiners to maximise production of higher-value fuels rather than maintain fuel-oil output.

Fuel oil can also be processed as feedstock in secondary refining units to produce gasoline and diesel. When refiners use more fuel oil for that purpose, less of the product remains available for the bunker market.

Energy Aspects analyst Royston Huan said extremely low gasoline and diesel inventories were encouraging refiners to increase such secondary processing, adding further pressure to fuel-oil supplies.

Asia Faces Greater Exposure

Asia is particularly exposed because of its dependence on fuel supplies from the Gulf.

Singapore, the world's largest marine-bunkering hub, imports more than half of the nearly one million barrels per day of fuel oil it consumes, according to Kpler data.

Any sustained disruption to Middle Eastern exports can therefore quickly affect Singapore's physical market.

The impact can spread beyond Singapore because the city-state is a major refuelling centre for international shipping. Higher bunker prices there can translate into higher operating costs for vessels travelling between Asia, Europe and other major markets.

Stocks Fall Below Average

Fuel inventories at major trading and bunkering centres have also come under pressure.

Data compiled by Reuters indicate that fuel-oil stocks in Singapore, Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp and Fujairah are roughly 30 per cent below their three-year seasonal averages.

Lower inventories leave markets more vulnerable to sudden disruptions.

If refinery outages or shipping restrictions persist, traders may have fewer readily available supplies to compensate for lost cargoes.

The resulting competition for available fuel could push bunker prices higher, increasing costs for shipowners and operators.

Longer Routes Raise Demand

The supply squeeze is occurring at the same time as ships are consuming more fuel because of disrupted maritime routes.

Vessels avoiding the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea have been taking longer routes around southern Africa. The additional sailing distance increases both voyage times and fuel consumption.

That creates a difficult combination for the shipping industry: supply is tightening just as individual vessels require more bunker fuel.

The longer routes also affect freight rates, delivery schedules and the availability of ships, potentially creating knock-on effects throughout global supply chains.

Singapore Bunker Prices Surge

The tightening market has already been reflected in marine-fuel prices.

Very low sulphur fuel oil, commonly known as VLSFO, is the main marine fuel used by many modern commercial vessels.

According to ZeroNorth data cited by Reuters, Singapore's VLSFO price had risen about 76 per cent from the start of the Iran war to just under $825 per metric tonne, or approximately $130 per barrel, by September 1.

Such an increase can materially affect voyage economics, particularly for vessels operating on long-distance routes.

Shipping companies may ultimately seek to recover some of the additional cost through higher freight rates.

Dangote Changes Exports

Refinery production decisions are also changing the pattern of global fuel-oil trade.

Nigeria's 650,000-barrel-per-day Dangote refinery has increased exports of diesel, gasoline and jet fuel while reducing fuel-oil exports, according to Kpler data.

The shift reflects the wider economic incentive facing refiners.

When transport-fuel inventories are low and margins are stronger, refiners have an incentive to direct available feedstock towards those products. That reduces the volume of fuel oil available for ships and other consumers.

The development illustrates how refinery optimisation decisions in one region can affect marine-fuel availability in another.

Shipping Costs Face Pressure

For shipowners, the immediate concern is the combination of higher bunker prices and increased fuel consumption.

Fuel is one of the largest operating expenses for many commercial vessels. A sustained rise in bunker costs can therefore significantly increase the cost of transporting crude oil, manufactured goods, food and other commodities.

The impact could be particularly pronounced for vessels travelling around Africa to avoid the Red Sea.

Higher shipping costs can eventually feed into freight rates and, depending on the duration and scale of the disruption, increase the delivered cost of goods.

Market Deficit In Focus

The projected 218,000-barrel-per-day third-quarter deficit highlights the potential scale of the imbalance.

The previous projected shortfall was far smaller, with Energy Aspects estimating a deficit of only about 6,000 barrels per day in the third quarter of 2025.

Whether the current deficit persists will depend heavily on refinery operations, Middle Eastern supply flows, shipping routes and demand from the global fleet.

For now, the fuel-oil market is facing pressure from both sides: refiners are producing less of the product while ships are consuming more.

If those conditions continue, shipping companies and power generators could face sustained increases in fuel costs, adding another layer of pressure to an already disrupted global energy and logistics system.

India’s primary market is heading into a busy week from September 7, 2026, with a large number of initial public offerings (IPOs) lined up across the mainboard and SME segments. Several companies are scheduled to open their issues during the week, putting the focus back on new listings and investor participation. 

The rush comes at a time when investor activity in the IPO market has strengthened after a relatively slower start to the year. According to Reuters, as many as six IPOs are scheduled to open on September 9, with the companies collectively looking to raise up to around ₹4,511 crore. 

Pranav Constructions, Apana Logistics to Open on September 7

The new week begins with Pranav Constructions and Apana Logistics among the issues opening for subscription on September 7.

Pranav Constructions’ IPO is scheduled from September 7 to September 9, with a price band of ₹118–₹124 per share, according to IPO information available through Zerodha. Apana Logistics, an SME issue, is also scheduled for September 7–9, with its issue price listed at ₹60 per share. 

More Mainboard IPOs From September 8

Activity is expected to intensify from September 8, when companies including Kanohar Electricals, Prasol Chemicals and Glass Wall Systems (India) are scheduled to open their IPOs.

Zerodha lists price bands of ₹601–₹632 for Kanohar Electricals, ₹643–₹676 for Prasol Chemicals and ₹172–₹182 for Glass Wall Systems. Their subscription windows are scheduled to close on September 10.

September 9 Expected to Be the Busiest Day

September 9 stands out in the week’s IPO calendar. According to Reuters, six public issues are scheduled to open that day, including Rentomojo, Asset Reconstruction Company (India) and Manipal Payment & Identity Solutions. The combined fundraising potential of these six offerings is estimated at up to ₹4,511 crore. 

Other issues opening around the same period include Karamtara Engineering and LCC Projects, adding to the crowded primary-market calendar. Current IPO listings also show Amtech Esters, Infrax Renewable and Vinod Texworld among SME offerings scheduled during the week. 

Investor Interest Returns to IPO Market

The surge in new issues reflects a broader revival in India’s IPO market. Reuters reported that 165 IPOs had raised $8.61 billion by late August, while September is expected to see further large offerings. Average subscription levels and listing gains have also improved compared with earlier periods, although investor participation remains selective. 

The renewed activity is also being watched ahead of potentially larger offerings later in September. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is planning its long-awaited IPO for the week beginning September 21, following regulatory clearance, according to Reuters. 

What Investors Should Watch

With several IPOs competing for investor money during the same week, factors such as valuation, financial performance, issue size, subscription trends and the company’s business outlook are likely to remain important considerations.

The number of simultaneous offerings also means investors may need to differentiate between issues rather than treating the overall increase in IPO activity as a signal to subscribe indiscriminately.

For the week beginning September 7, the concentration of mainboard and SME offerings makes the primary market one of the key areas to watch in India’s financial markets.

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) returned to selling Indian equities in the first week of September, withdrawing ₹7,443 crore after remaining net buyers for two consecutive months, according to market data.

The latest outflow came amid concerns over rising crude oil prices, increasing US bond yields and a firm US dollar, which reduced investor appetite for riskier assets, including emerging markets such as India.

FPIs had invested ₹30,919 crore in Indian equities in August and ₹20,200 crore in July, marking a reversal after four consecutive months of selling between March and June.

With the September outflow, foreign investors’ total withdrawal from Indian equities in 2026 has increased to ₹2.32 lakh crore so far. This is higher than the ₹1.66 lakh crore withdrawn during the entire calendar year 2025.

Why FPIs Are Selling Again

Global factors have played a key role in shaping foreign investor sentiment towards Indian markets. A rise in US bond yields generally makes dollar-denominated assets more attractive, leading investors to reassess allocations towards emerging markets.A stronger dollar can also impact foreign investment flows as it affects currency returns for global investors. Meanwhile, higher crude oil prices remain a concern for oil-importing economies like India as they can influence inflation and the country’s trade balance.

Two Monthsof Buying Interrupted

The latest selling trend comes after FPIs showed renewed confidence in Indian equities during July and August. The two months of inflows had provided support to domestic markets after a prolonged period of foreign outflows.Market experts closely track FPI movement as it often reflects global investor sentiment and can influence liquidity conditions in Indian equity markets.Domestic institutional investors, including mutual funds and insurance companies, have increasingly played a larger role in balancing foreign fund movements in recent years.

Market Outlook

Going ahead, foreign investor flows are expected to remain sensitive to global cues, including movements in crude prices, interest rate expectations in the United States and currency trends.Analysts will also watch domestic economic data, corporate earnings and policy developments to assess whether foreign investors return to buying Indian equities.

In an order dated September 2, 2026, the Charity Commissioner closed Singh’s complaint concerning the transfer of 833 shares of Tata Sons Private Limited in 1989 from the Navajbai Ratan Tata Trust (NRTT) to Naval H. Tata, father of Tata Trusts chairman Noel Tata.

Singh had approached the Charity Commissioner on June 10, 2026, seeking an independent inquiry into the transaction. However, the proceedings did not result in the investigation sought by him and instead brought scrutiny to the manner in which he had pursued the complaint.

According to a Tata Trusts statement citing the order, the Charity Commissioner took exception to Singh not sharing the email through which he made the complaint with the Trust. The authority reportedly viewed this as an attempt to keep the matter away from the other trustees and the Trust itself.

The order also contains an adverse observation on Singh’s conduct, stating that his actions had affected the reputation and goodwill of the Trust and characterising his conduct as “unbecoming of a Trustee of NRTT.”

The timing of Singh’s complaint was another issue examined by the authority.

On June 8, two days before filing his complaint, Singh had participated in a meeting of the NRTT board in which a resolution was passed authorising representation of the Trust’s position before the Charity Commissioner. Singh was therefore part of the Trust’s decision-making process concerning the matter before subsequently approaching the same regulator independently.

The Charity Commissioner ultimately closed the complaint and did not accept the case for an independent investigation into the 1989 share transfer.

The order could have wider implications for the governance debate within Tata Trusts. Trustees of public charitable trusts in Maharashtra operate under the regulatory oversight of the Charity Commissioner, with the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act, 1950 providing powers to act against trustees in specified circumstances.

Section 41D of the Act permits suspension, removal or dismissal of a trustee, following the prescribed procedure, in circumstances including persistent neglect of duty, malfeasance, misfeasance or breach of trust. Such action may arise from an application, a statutory report or proceedings initiated by the Charity Commissioner on his own motion.

The adverse remarks in the latest order do not, by themselves, amount to removal proceedings against Singh. However, the observations concerning the Trust’s reputation and his conduct could become relevant if his actions are examined in any subsequent regulatory or governance process.
