Mayuresh Joshi, Head Equity, Marketsmith India, says the markets are fearing a possible escalation in the Middle East conflict. In the Indian context, earnings might be a tad bit soft going into this quarter's numbers as well. But with good monsoon, expectations of rural recovery, second half should be relatively better as far as India Inc is concerned. So, Joshi is not looking at a structural downside. Liquidity remains strong and for any fall in the market that comes through, liquidity might come back and cushion them. It is getting bad in the market, could it get ugly? Mayuresh Joshi: There are two-three angles. One, obviously, in terms of how global macros are shaping up. The expectations in terms of the China stimulus has clearly buoyed sentiments in terms of foreign flows towards China. Again, undervalued, under-owned and therefore, the kind of move that we saw on the Chinese markets because of the stimulus was something to be watched out for.

maritime industry expert said on Wednesday. Modernisation and upgradation of Indian shipyards is in progress, while older dockyards are being assessed for reopening and adding more capacities for green shipbuilding given a strong pickup in global demand, said Cristina Saenz de Santa Maria, Regional Manager South East Asia, Pacific & India, Maritime at DNV, a Norway-based testing, certification and technical advisory services provider. «We see great potential in India emerging as a hub for green shipbuilding, driven by its government's strong focus on alternative fuels and renewable energy like biofuels and wind power,» said the industry veteran. The Indian government is encouraging investments and technology transfer from Japanese and Korean shipyards to establish shipbuilding and ship repair clusters in the country.

economic policy framework for the next generation of reforms. That is a sensible move. India has compelling reasons to move away from a textbook framework of open economy macroeconomics. It strives for strategic autonomy in a geopolitically riven world, in which one superpower sits astride the northern border, has built supercharged industrial muscle that can smother Indian industry, and casts a covetous eye on Indian territory.

However, if the US finds that India is reliant solely on American support, it would have it where China has Pakistan — by the scruff of the neck. India would have to give up all dreams of strategic autonomy.
