Subramanian Sarma, Member of the Board, L&T, says there are currently two to three key themes: a) Ongoing development of traditional fossil fuels, particularly oil and gas; b)collective efforts to enhance green initiatives and reduce carbon footprints, including opportunities in blue and green ammonia, renewable energy, and gas-to-power projects; c)exploration of monetizing and increasing value through petrochemical facilities. Each theme offers significant opportunities, with current prospects estimated between $10 billion and $12 billion. L&T will need to monitor these developments in the coming quarters. Sarma says they are also looking at gas to power opportunities in the Middle East. They have a bit of a preferred status there with one of the main developers with whom we have been working, and so something might unfold. All in all, that business is looking much more buoyant. At least for the next two-three years, he sees a good momentum. How are things looking up because we were just talking with the management of KEC and he pointed out how the power transmission orders and the other EPC orders seem to be picking up in that region. Is that something you are witnessing as well – increased expenditure when it comes to public infrastructure as well as the entire energy space in the Middle East? Subramanian Sarma: Yes, it is very consistent with what the KEC management has said.

Gaza, triggered by a Hamas attack on Israel in October last year, and later pulled in Hezbollah too. The ceasefire does not extend to Gaza, where Israel’s military continues to fight Hamas as there is no progress on the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Yet, the ceasefire is a definite turning point in the conflict and raises hope for final resolution. The ceasefire comes as a good news for India not just because India has trade and business interests in the Middle East which will be harmed if a wider war breaks out, but also because a highly ambitious project, which was deferred due to the conflict, can be back on track. The most consequential announcement at last year's G20 Summit in Delhi was the commitment to build a rail-and-port network that will connect India to the Middle-East and the Middle-East to Europe and the US. It has been named the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC). Though no leader from the participating countries mentioned China, it is an obvious alternative to China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) that aims to connect the whole world to China through shipping, rail and road networks.

BAKU: As ministers take over at the climate talks in the Azerbaijani capital, all eyes are on Rio, where the leaders of the G20 are meeting. The first week of the UN climate summit closed with the scheduled assembly late on Saturday night that lasted a little over three hours, ending at around half hour past midnight. The divergences among countries on important issues, such as finance and the path forward on the outcomes of last year's global stock take, and the absence of trust became apparent as countries took the floor to air their views. On some issues such as loss and damage and adaptation, and mitigation work programme the absence of trust and compromise among countries was such that «Rule 16» was invoked. Rule 16 refers to a provision which is used when countries can't even agree to produce an outcome that puts on record the discussions and divergent views. As a result, countries will have to begin their discussions all over again when they meet in Bonn in the summer. The lack of trust most evident on the issue of how countries propose to address and implement the decisions on emission reduction and energy transition agreed to in Dubai and the lack of any real progress on making available climate finance to developing countries.
