THE #DLG+2 DISPATCH (GLOBAL EDITION)
as on 3rd JUNE, 2025 - THURSDAY
__________________
A Big Hello and A Very Good Moring to Readers and Viewers,
Today is THURSDAY, 3rd JULY, 2025, and here we go with our THE #DLG+2 DISPATCH / THE DATELINE GUJARAT DISPATCH, - THE BUSINESS BUZZ ...
As I sit down to write the dispatch, this is my last day today at DWARKA (last mile coastal town on the West Coast in India in the State of Gujarat) and what I see unfolding is a different sort of chaos where Azerbaijan and Russia conflict is shaping altogether different pattern of new conflict zones being triggered in EurAsian region. While the world is weighing the pressure of war-driven inflation with cyclical commodity prices and currency volatility at its peak, opening of new conflict zones or war-zones is adding fuel to the fire of inflation driven growth story where the growth is expected to remain value driven instead of volume driven, be it in India or Rest of the World.
Meanwhile, lets take a look at what is buzzing across the World, Nation and State.

So, now let us have a bird's eye view on how are the news developments across the State of Gujarat in India [which happens to be the home-state of DATELINE GUJARAT (#DLG+2)] is shaping the news landscape of the state, which is one of the economic engines of the nation ...
Gujarat is buzzing with news, and it’s a mixed bag of policy shifts, economic updates, and a rather bizarre courtroom drama. Let’s dive into the hyperlocal updates shaping the state, with a dash of commentary on what it all means for Gujaratis.
First up, the state government is set to tweak the Fee Regulation Act, giving schools with a 99% pass rate and 75% average score the freedom to set their own fees Gujarat government to amend fee regulation act. On one hand, this could incentivise academic excellence, but it’s a slippery slope. Will this lead to skyrocketing fees in top-tier schools, making quality education a luxury only the affluent can afford? In a state where education is a pride point, this move needs careful calibration to avoid deepening inequality.
Meanwhile, the National Sample Survey (NSS) Report reveals a sharp rise in fat consumption across Gujarat Gujarat sees sharp rise in fat consumption. From ghee-laden theplas to deep-fried fafdas, Gujaratis seem to be indulging more than ever. While our love for rich food is no secret, this trend raises red flags about public health. With lifestyle diseases like diabetes and hypertension already rampant, the state needs to push for awareness campaigns. Perhaps it’s time to balance our culinary passion with some khichdi-level moderation?
In a shocking courtroom gaffe, a senior advocate was caught sipping beer from a mug during a virtual hearing, prompting the Gujarat High Court to initiate contempt proceedings (‘Feel sorry, absolutely sorry…’, Shocking clip shows Gujarat lawyer). The lawyer’s apology came swift, but the damage was done. This incident, also reported by India Today and NDTV, exposes a lapse in professionalism that’s hard to excuse. Virtual hearings demand the same decorum as physical ones—sipping chai is one thing, but beer? That’s a step too far. The Gujarat HC’s firm stance sends a clear message: respect the court, or face the music.
On the political front, AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal is stirring the pot in Gujarat. He likened the BJP and Congress to “lovers who meet in secret” due to their fear of public backlash BJP, Congress like lovers who meet in secret. Kejriwal’s launching the ‘Gujarat Jodo’ membership drive AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal to launch ‘Gujarat Jodo’ and sees AAP’s recent Visavadar bypoll win as a sign of shifting tides AAP’s victory in Visavadar. His rhetoric is spicy, but can AAP really dent Gujarat’s BJP stronghold? The state’s voters have long favoured stability over experiments, so Kejriwal’s got his work cut out.
Economically, Gujarat’s shining bright. The state recorded an 11% rise in GST collection for June 2025, with monthly tax revenue nearing ₹10,000 crore Gujarat records 11 pc rise. This signals robust economic activity, reinforcing Gujarat’s status as an industrial powerhouse. Adding to the momentum, Steamhouse India, a Gujarat-based firm, has filed for a ₹700-crore IPO Gujarat-based Steamhouse India files, and Taipei Fubon Bank is eyeing Gujarat for its India expansion Taipei Fubon Bank shifts India expansion. Meanwhile, Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation is catching investors’ eyes with its strong stock performance Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation, and GNFC has slashed acetic acid prices, a boon for domestic industries Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers. These developments underline Gujarat’s economic vibrancy, but the challenge lies in ensuring inclusive growth that reaches the common man.
On a grim note, a horrific case from Surat has shaken the state: a 14-year-old boy allegedly raped and impregnated his 16-year-old sister Gujarat shocker. This tragedy highlights the urgent need for better sex education and social awareness to prevent such atrocities. The Gujarat HC also made headlines by upholding an acquittal in a dowry death case, ruling that money demanded for legal expenses doesn’t qualify as dowry Gujarat HC upholds acquittal. This nuanced verdict sparks debate about the legal definition of dowry and its enforcement.
Finally, the monsoon’s been generous, with Gujarat recording its wettest June since 2015 and an orange alert issued for several districts Gujarat sees wettest June. While farmers rejoice, urban areas must brace for waterlogging woes. Oh, and a quirky tidbit: a local report titled Gujarat Confidential: ‘Deepest Gratitude’ Gujarat Confidential hints at behind-the-scenes political camaraderie, adding a layer of intrigue to the state’s power dynamics.
Gujarat’s in the thick of it—progress, controversy, and challenges galore. From economic highs to social lows, the state’s navigating a complex landscape. What’s your take on these developments? Are we moving forward, or stuck in a loop of old habits?

Last, but not least and as important as food, water, clothing and internet the four basic human needs are, is weather, so let us take a look at what are the weather cocks indicating and scan the important headlines across the world in weather space ...
The world is grappling with a series of extreme weather events and political upheavals, and India, no stranger to such challenges, can draw parallels to the chaos unfolding globally. From heatwaves scorching Europe to storms battering Australia, and even a quirky protest at the US Capitol, the news cycle is buzzing with stories that resonate with India’s own experiences of climate unpredictability and public dissent. Let’s dive into these stories with a desi perspective, weaving in hyperlocal updates from our own backyard.
Starting with the US, a Democratic doctors' protest against Trump's 'beautiful bill' derailed by flood of US Capitol tourists made headlines. Doctors, rallying against a controversial healthcare policy, were overwhelmed by tourists at the Capitol, turning their serious demonstration into a logistical mess. This scene feels oddly familiar to India, where protests—be it by doctors in Kolkata over hospital safety or farmers in Punjab demanding MSP guarantees—often face disruptions, whether from counter-rallies or chaotic crowds. Just last week, resident doctors in Delhi’s AIIMS briefly halted OPD services to protest violence against medical staff, echoing the frustration of their American counterparts. The lesson? Public spaces, whether in Washington or Delhi, are tough battlegrounds for dissent.
Across the Atlantic, Europe is sweating under a relentless heatwave. According to Travel & Leisure Magazine, the heat has shut down iconic sights and entire cities, leaving tourists stranded and locals scrambling for relief. This hits close to home for Indians, where summer heatwaves regularly push temperatures above 45°C in states like Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. In fact, a recent report from Lucknow highlighted how Kanpur’s power grid struggled to meet demand as ACs ran non-stop, much like the UK, where a £99 fan became a lifesaver during their heatwave. In Mumbai, hawkers near Gateway of India were seen selling portable fans at inflated prices, a hyperlocal nod to surviving the urban sauna. For Indian travellers planning European holidays, this is a wake-up call—check weather alerts before booking that Paris or Rome trip!
Closer to the Americas, CBC.ca reports heat warnings across New Brunswick, with residents urged to stay hydrated and avoid outdoor exertion. This mirrors India’s own heat advisories, like the ones issued in Chennai this May, where schools were shut, and street vendors were provided oral hydration salts by local NGOs. The global heatwave narrative underscores a shared challenge: climate change doesn’t discriminate, whether you’re in Canada or Coimbatore.
Down under, Australia is reeling from a different beast—severe storms. Anadolu Agency notes thousands are without power in southeastern Australia due to heavy rains and winds, while Brisbane Times warns of a second surge of rain following a ‘bomb cyclone’. ABC Online paints a grim picture of trees crashing into homes, and The Greek Herald reports tens of thousands in New South Wales (NSW) battling power outages as storms rage on. 9News confirms the storm’s destructive path has now crossed state borders. This chaos resonates with India’s own tryst with cyclones, like the recent Cyclone Remal that battered West Bengal, leaving Kolkata’s low-lying areas flooded and power lines down. In a hyperlocal update, Bhubaneswar’s civic authorities are now fast-tracking drainage upgrades ahead of the monsoon, learning from Australia’s plight where urban flooding overwhelmed infrastructure.
Commentary: These global stories—be it protests or extreme weather—reflect a world grappling with systemic issues that India knows all too well. The US doctors’ protest reminds us of the power and peril of public dissent, a tactic Indian activists have honed over decades. Meanwhile, the heatwaves and storms abroad echo India’s own climate vulnerabilities, from Delhi’s scorching summers to Mumbai’s monsoon mayhem. As we watch these events unfold, India must double down on climate resilience—better urban planning, stronger power grids, and proactive disaster management. Locally, cities like Bengaluru are already experimenting with rooftop solar to offset power cuts, while Chennai’s metro water board is ramping up rainwater harvesting. Globally or hyperlocally, the message is clear: adapt, prepare, and protest when needed, but always with an eye on the bigger picture.What’s your take on how India can learn from these global events?

The Indian stock market, as per recent updates, is active on July 3, 2025, with no trading holidays scheduled except for a potential Muharram holiday on July 6 or 7, pending moon sighting confirmation [Web ID: 1, 6]. Earnings calendars for Indian companies are typically published by financial platforms like Moneycontrol, BSE India, or NSE India, but the provided sources don’t list specific earnings for July 3. For instance, Axis Bank is set to review its Q1 FY26 financial results on July 17, 2025, with a board meeting to approve unaudited results, suggesting earnings season may pick up later in July [Web ID: 8]. Similarly, recent earnings-related activity includes companies like Tiger Logistics, which reported Q4 FY25 results, but no specific mention of July 3 events [Web ID: 24].
For post-earnings analyst conference calls, platforms like Trendlyne provide transcripts and schedules for NSE and BSE companies, but the data only references calls for companies like RailTel Corporation and Torrent Pharmaceuticals in late June 2025, with no explicit July 3 listings [Web ID: 5]. The lack of specific data for July 3 could indicate that major earnings announcements are scheduled later, as July is early in the Q1 FY26 reporting cycle for Indian firms.
To get precise details for July 3, 2025, I recommend checking the following sources directly:
