THE #DLG+2 DISPATCH (GLOBAL EDITION)
as on 15th JULY, 2025 / TUESDAY
__________________
A Big Hello and A Very Good Moring to Readers and Viewers,
Today is TUESDAY, 15th JULY 2025, and here we go with our THE #DLG+2 DISPATCH / THE DATELINE GUJARAT DISPATCH, - THE BUSINESS BUZZ ...
As I sit down to jot the notes for the dispatch, what sounds more worrying than Trump's Trade-Tarriff disputes, conflicts in Middle East, EurAsia and clouds of tensions simmering in Asia, is the Severe Weather Condition, across the world, which is quite alarming and juxtaposing natural phenomena with floods, earthquakes, hailstorms, dust-storms and heatwave across continents, which were usually once upoin a time termed as "cold" continents.
As i scan the headlines, earthquake and floods in Spain, hailstorms in Canada, Duststroms in Arizona, Floods in Bangladesh, Heatwave alerts in UK, Greece and several parts of Europe, Heavy Rain warnings in Portugal and amidst all UK Met Office warns of "Extreme Weather" becoming a "norm in the UK", a kind of new-normal!
So, to conclude why this adds fuel to the fire or is more worrying is because cyclical commodity prices triggered due to Severe Weather Conditions may not cool-off in the near future, which indicates that the inflationary pressure on the world economy may continue.
Amidst all the above factors, currency volatility may trigger more chaos, with usual demand not being met due to disturbed supply chains - resulting out of severe weather conditions, climate change and environmental hazards.
Meanwhile, lets take a look at what is buzzing across the World, Nation and State.

From the aftermath of a devastating air crash to breakthroughs in renewable energy and unsettling disruptions abroad, here’s a commentary on the stories shaping India and its global footprint.
The Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12, which claimed 260 lives, continues to dominate headlines, with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) ordering urgent inspections of fuel control switches on select Boeing aircraft, including the B787 Dreamliner and certain B737 models. This directive, prompted by a 2018 Federal Aviation Administration advisory, underscores concerns about potential disengagement of fuel switch locks, a factor highlighted in the preliminary crash report. The report revealed that the Boeing 787-8’s fuel switches flipped to the “cutoff” position moments after takeoff, starving the engines and leading to the disaster. Air India’s CEO, Campbell Wilson, emphasized that no mechanical or maintenance issues were found, urging staff and the public to avoid premature conclusions until the final report is released. Yet, pilot groups have fiercely rejected suggestions of human error, pointing to the complexity of the incident and the need for a deeper probe. The tragedy has sparked a broader conversation about aviation safety, with airlines like Etihad and Singapore Airlines already inspecting their Boeing fleets.

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 has been in the headlines this week, with a mix of legal rulings, infrastructure developments, environmental innovations, and unfortunate incidents painting a dynamic picture of the state. From courtroom gaffes to ambitious carbon capture projects, here’s a closer look at the latest updates, grounded in hyperlocal context and woven with commentary on their broader implications.
In an eyebrow-raising incident, the Gujarat High Court directed a man to pay a Rs 1 lakh fine for appearing on a virtual hearing while seated on a toilet. This breach of decorum, reported by the Indian Express at 23:06 on July 14, underscores the challenges of maintaining professionalism in the era of virtual hearings. The court’s swift action sends a clear message: judicial proceedings demand respect, even in a digital format. For local legal practitioners in Ahmedabad, this serves as a reminder to double-check their surroundings before logging into virtual courtrooms, as the judiciary is not amused by such lapses.
On the educational front, the HSC science supplementary exam revaluation process began in Gujarat, as reported by The Times of India at 22:33 on July 14. This process is critical for students across cities like Surat, Vadodara, and Rajkot, where academic performance is a gateway to competitive fields like engineering and medicine. The revaluation offers a second chance for students to secure better grades, but it also highlights the pressure on Gujarat’s education system to ensure transparency and fairness in evaluations, especially for supplementary exams that carry high stakes for young aspirants.
In administrative news, the Gujarat government appointed a Kerala-cadre IAS officer as the new MD & CEO of GIFT City Co. Ltd, per The Hindu Business Line at 22:05 on July 14. This move signals Gujarat’s intent to bolster GIFT City’s status as a global financial hub in Gandhinagar. The appointment of an experienced officer from outside the state could bring fresh perspectives to the project, but locals in Gandhinagar may wonder how this will translate into tangible economic benefits for the region, especially in terms of job creation and infrastructure development.
Environmentally, Gujarat is making strides with India’s exploration of technology to permanently store CO2 in basalt rock formations, as noted by The Hindu Business Line at 21:55 on July 14. This initiative, targeting Gujarat and Maharashtra, could position the state as a leader in carbon capture and storage, particularly in industrial hubs like Jamnagar and Bharuch. However, the technology’s scalability and cost-effectiveness remain under scrutiny, and local communities will be watching closely to ensure environmental safeguards are prioritized alongside industrial progress.
Meanwhile, South Gujarat farmers are planning a tractor rally to protest inadequate compensation from a power corporation, according to the Indian Express at 20:43 on July 14. In districts like Surat and Tapi, where agriculture is a lifeline, this unrest reflects growing tensions between rural communities and corporate entities. The rally could disrupt local traffic and draw attention to the need for fair compensation policies, especially as Gujarat balances its agricultural heritage with rapid industrialization.
On a positive note, Gujarat’s dominance in processed potato production and exports was highlighted by The Hindu at 20:06 on July 14. This achievement, driven by agro-industrial hubs in Banaskantha and Sabarkantha, showcases the state’s ability to leverage its agricultural strengths for global markets. However, local farmers in these districts may push for better infrastructure and market access to sustain this growth.
In a compassionate move, the Gujarat government released Rs 25 lakh as ex-gratia payment to the widow of a Home Guard jawan who died of Covid, following a Gujarat High Court petition, as reported by the Indian Express at 20:02 on July 14. This decision, affecting families in Ahmedabad and beyond, reflects the state’s commitment to supporting its frontline workers, though it also raises questions about the timeliness of such relief for other affected families.
Tragically, a tourist from Gujarat died in a paragliding crash near Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh, per NDTV at 18:40 on July 14. This incident, likely involving a thrill-seeker from a city like Ahmedabad or Vadodara, underscores the risks of adventure tourism and may prompt local travel agencies to review safety protocols for such activities.
In a curious case, a shipping container en route from Hong Kong to Dubai landed on Gujarat’s coast and ended up in a Customs office, as reported by the Indian Express at 18:40 on July 14. This incident, likely near ports like Mundra or Kandla, highlights the complexities of maritime trade and the vigilance of Gujarat’s customs authorities in tackling potential smuggling or logistical errors.
Infrastructure challenges persist, with Tapi bridge closed for urgent repairs, according to Gulf News at 17:11 on July 14. This closure disrupts connectivity in South Gujarat, affecting daily commuters and local businesses in Tapi district. Similarly, the Gujarat government sanctioned a new bridge in Vadodara parallel to a collapsed structure, as per The Economic Times at 09:54 on July 14, and started the process for a new two-lane bridge near Mujpur village in 18 months, reported by the Indian Express at 22:56 on July 13. These developments signal a proactive response to infrastructure failures but also highlight the recurring issue of aging bridges in Vadodara and Mahisagar districts, where a bridge tragedy left one person missing as of July 13, per The Telegraph.
In a devastating incident, two people died and one went missing after a car was swept away in a flooded causeway in Gujarat, reported by NDTV at 13:04 on July 14. This tragedy, likely in a flood-prone area like Kheda or Anand, underscores the dangers of monsoon-related flooding and the need for better road safety measures during heavy rains.
On the international front, a Gujarati man was among three Indians kidnapped by an Al Qaeda-linked group in Mali, per NDTV at 08:19 on July 14. This incident raises concerns for the safety of Gujaratis working abroad, particularly in high-risk regions, and may prompt local communities to seek greater support from the central government for their safe return.
The Gujarat government claimed to have resolved over 99% of complaints about damaged roads, as reported by the Indian Express at 04:42 on July 14. While this is a commendable effort, residents in cities like Surat and Rajkot, where potholes are a perennial issue during monsoons, will be skeptical until they see consistent improvements on the ground.
In legal news, the Gujarat High Court quashed a criminal complaint against a company for defaulting on CSR responsibilities, per The Times of India at 00:10 on July 14. This ruling, affecting businesses in Ahmedabad’s corporate circles, could set a precedent for how corporate social responsibility is enforced, potentially easing pressure on companies but raising questions about accountability.
Finally, a youth from Gujarat was arrested for duping a Kolkata man of Rs 1.5 crore, as reported by The Times of India at 00:36 on July 13. This case, likely originating from a cybercrime hub in Ahmedabad or Surat, highlights the growing menace of online fraud and the need for stronger cybersecurity measures in the state.
Commentary: Gujarat’s recent news cycle reflects a state at a crossroads—balancing rapid development with systemic challenges. The legal system is enforcing discipline, as seen in the virtual hearing fine and CSR ruling, but infrastructure woes, from collapsed bridges to flooded causeways, demand urgent attention. Environmental initiatives like CO2 storage show promise, but they must not overshadow the needs of farmers and rural communities, as evidenced by the planned tractor rally. The state’s global footprint, from potato exports to GIFT City’s ambitions, is notable, but incidents like the Mali kidnapping and paragliding tragedy remind us of the risks Gujaratis face abroad. For locals, these stories are not just headlines—they’re about the roads they travel, the schools their children attend, and the safety of their loved ones. Gujarat’s government must prioritize equitable growth, robust infrastructure, and proactive safety measures to sustain its trajectory as a powerhouse state.
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 surge of extreme weather and geological events, from collapsing airport roofs in Spain to loonie-sized hail in Calgary, signaling a troubling trend of intensifying natural disasters. These incidents, reported across multiple continents, highlight the growing unpredictability of weather patterns and their profound impacts on communities, infrastructure, and travel. Below, we delve into the latest updates, weaving in hyperlocal perspectives and examining the broader implications of these events.
Spain Faces Dual Blow: Earthquake and Floods Wreak HavocIn southern Spain, a powerful 5.4-magnitude earthquake struck on Monday, causing significant structural damage, including the collapse of a cafe roof in the departures lounge at Almería Airport. Airport roof collapsed due to powerful earthquake in Spain. No injuries have been reported at the airport, but the quake, felt across more than 50 towns including Alicante, has left residents and tourists rattled. This seismic event follows a weekend of catastrophic flash floods in northeastern Spain, particularly in Barcelona, where 155mm of rain fell in just a few hours, turning streets into rivers and forcing the evacuation of 71 patients from Penedès Regional Hospital. Every Spanish holiday hotspot hit by floods – and what it means for your trip.
Hyperlocal Impact: In Cubelles, 30 miles from Barcelona, a witness reported seeing a woman and child swept away by floodwaters in the swollen Foix River, prompting an intensive search involving firefighters, helicopters, and drones. The Spanish meteorological agency AEMET reported 97mm of rainfall in Navarra and issued warnings for 25 provinces, with popular tourist destinations like Girona and Tarragona on high alert. For holidaymakers, these disruptions—coupled with a Delta Air Lines flight forced to return to Barcelona after hail damage—underscore the risks of traveling during such volatile weather. Local businesses, already strained by overtourism protests in Málaga, now face additional challenges as floodwaters swamp restaurants and shops.
Commentary: Spain’s compounding crises highlight the vulnerability of tourist-heavy regions to extreme weather and geological instability. The rapid shift from heatwaves to torrential rains and earthquakes suggests a need for robust infrastructure upgrades and better disaster preparedness, especially in areas like Catalonia, where flash floods are exacerbated by the region’s valleys and ravines. Travelers should heed Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s call for caution and check updated travel advisories, as the UK Foreign Office has yet to issue specific warnings but may activate emergency protocols.
Northern Calgary Reels from Loonie-Sized HailIn Calgary, Alberta, a powerful hailstorm swept through on Sunday evening, pelting northern neighborhoods like Thorncliffe and North Haven with loonie-sized hail. Loonie-sized hail causes damage in northern Calgary Sunday.

Hyperlocal Impact: Residents in Mayland Heights shared dramatic photos on social media, showing flooded streets and knocked-over signs. The storm’s intensity caught many off guard, with local gardeners lamenting the destruction of carefully tended plants. In nearby Mountain View County, a rainfall warning was issued on Monday, with forecasts predicting significant precipitation that could exacerbate existing damage. Rainfall warning issued for Mountain View County Monday.
Commentary: Calgary’s hailstorm serves as a stark reminder of the region’s susceptibility to sudden, destructive weather. While no injuries were reported, the economic toll on homeowners and municipalities could be significant, particularly for uninsured property damage. The back-to-back weather warnings in Alberta underscore the need for community-level resilience plans, such as improved drainage systems and public awareness campaigns about severe weather preparedness.
London Borough Disrupted by Sinkhole and FloodingIn the UK, a sinkhole in the London borough of Bexley has caused significant disruption, compounded by a “large amount of flooding” that has overwhelmed local infrastructure. Sinkhole opens in London borough leading to disruption from 'large amount of flooding'.

Adding to the strain, a planned five-day doctors’ walkout is set to proceed despite heatwave alerts, potentially impacting healthcare access during this critical period. Doctors say 5-day walkout will go ahead even if heatwave alerts issued.
Commentary: The convergence of a sinkhole, flooding, and a heatwave in the UK illustrates the multifaceted challenges of climate-driven disruptions. The doctors’ walkout, while rooted in legitimate labor concerns, risks exacerbating the strain on public services during a time of heightened need. Local authorities in Bexley and beyond must prioritize infrastructure resilience, such as reinforcing drainage systems and conducting regular geological surveys, to mitigate future incidents.
Bangladesh and Texas: Floods Maroon ThousandsIn Feni, Bangladesh, nearly 7,000 families remain marooned due to severe flooding, with rescue efforts ongoing to provide aid and relocate affected residents.

Hyperlocal Impact: In Feni, local communities are relying on emergency supplies as floodwaters isolate villages, disrupting access to food and clean water. In Texas, Kerr County residents are bracing for more rainfall on already saturated ground, with volunteer operations suspended due to dangerous conditions. The San Saba River, east of Kerr County, is expected to rise above 30 feet, threatening further devastation.
Commentary: The parallel flooding crises in Bangladesh and Texas highlight the global reach of extreme weather. In Feni, the lack of infrastructure in rural areas amplifies the humanitarian toll, while in Texas, the suspension of search efforts underscores the logistical challenges of disaster response in prolonged wet conditions. Both regions need international support and long-term investment in flood defenses to protect vulnerable populations.
Portugal and Estonia: Weather Disrupts Daily LifeIn Portugal, a heavy rain warning has been issued, with forecasts indicating potential flooding in multiple regions. Heavy rain warning.

In Narva, the abrupt end to the Nazareth concert has sparked discussions among fans about the need for better contingency plans for outdoor events, such as indoor backup venues.
Commentary: These smaller-scale disruptions, while less severe than floods or earthquakes, still carry significant cultural and economic impacts. Portugal’s rain warning signals a broader European trend of shifting weather patterns, while Narva’s concert cancellation reflects the challenges of maintaining public events in an era of increasing weather volatility.
The Bigger Picture: A Call for ResilienceThe convergence of earthquakes, floods, hailstorms, and heatwaves across the globe paints a sobering picture of our planet’s changing climate. The Met Office’s warning that extreme weather is becoming the norm in the UK applies equally to other regions, from Spain’s battered tourist hubs to Calgary’s hail-ravaged neighborhoods. Governments, communities, and individuals must prioritize adaptive measures—upgrading infrastructure, enhancing early warning systems, and fostering international cooperation—to mitigate the human and economic toll of these events.
For travelers, the message is clear: check weather and geological advisories before planning trips, particularly to regions like Spain, where multiple hazards are at play. For residents in affected areas, community resilience and preparedness are key to weathering the storm—literally and figuratively. As these extreme events become more frequent, the global community must act swiftly to address the root causes of climate change and build a more resilient future.

THE GLOBAL OUTLOOK
So, what is the outlook today for the Financial markets across the world right from Auckland (in New Zealand) till Alaska (in The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA), which will shape the investment and trade patterns for today ...
Equities: Global equity markets are poised for cautious trading amid heightened volatility. In the US, the S&P 500 is expected to hover near record highs but faces pressure from tariff threats, with US equity futures falling after new tariff rhetoric against Canada and Europe. European markets are likely to remain flat, while emerging markets, including Latin America and Africa, may see continued volatility due to trade policy uncertainties and commodity price swings. In Asia, markets like Japan and Singapore may rise slightly, buoyed by Wall Street’s resilience and hopes of easing trade tensions, though Asian markets are mixed. Australia and New Zealand equities are expected to track global trends, with local focus on CSL’s R&D layoffs impacting sentiment.
Commodities: Commodity markets are reacting to tariff-driven volatility. Copper prices, up 10% since Trump’s 50% tariff announcement on imports, may face further upward pressure. Oil prices are stabilizing after recent OPEC+ production increases, with Middle East tensions having a limited impact. Gold could see safe-haven demand in Eurasia and Africa amid geopolitical risks.
Currency: The US dollar is expected to maintain moderate strength, supported by rising Treasury yields at 4.42% for the 10-year note. The dollar’s recent slide to a 3-year low provides a currency tailwind for US firms with overseas revenues. In Asia, the Japanese yen and South Korean won may face pressure from tariff fears. Emerging market currencies in Latin America and Africa could weaken due to capital outflows.
Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin, trading near $119,171 after hitting a record $119,454, is expected to remain strong but volatile, with Ethereum and Ripple (XRP at $2.18) gaining traction for cross-border transactions. Regulatory clarity in the US, including the repeal of the IRS’s DeFi broker rule, supports crypto’s integration into financial systems, particularly in North America and Asia-Pacific.
Bonds: Bond yields are rising globally, with US 30-year Treasury yields nearing 5% as investors sell off long-dated bonds amid tariff-driven inflation fears. In Europe, euro bonds are back in focus with rising yields, while Japan’s 30-year JGB yields hit 3.111%. Bonds are regaining their role as a portfolio stabilizer despite market turmoil.
Funds and Money Markets: US equity fund inflows dropped to $2.1 billion from $31.6 billion, signaling a shift to foreign markets like Germany, Japan, and Latin America as investors hedge against US policy risks. Australia’s WeTrade Capital’s ASIC license boosts confidence in Asia-Pacific regulated financial services. Money markets anticipate the Federal Reserve holding rates steady, with a 25% chance of a 2025 rate cut despite Trump’s pressure on Fed Chair Powell.
Regional Highlights:
- South Pacific (Australia, New Zealand): CSL’s workforce reduction may weigh on Australian biotech sentiment, while New Zealand tracks global equity trends.
- Asia: Singapore’s 4.3% Q2 GDP growth supports optimism, but tariff fears linger in Japan and South Korea.
- Eurasia and Middle East: Stable oil prices and safe-haven gold demand drive investment flows.
- Africa and Latin America: Emerging market equities face outflows due to trade policy uncertainty.
- Europe: Flat markets with focus on euro bonds and tariff impacts.
- North America (US, Canada, Mexico): US markets brace for bank earnings and CPI data, while Canada faces tariff-related pressure.
So, what is the outlook today for the Financial markets in India, which will shape the investment and trade patterns for today on the floors of Indian Bourses - National Stock Exchange (NSE NIFTY) and BSE (BSE SENSEX) ...
Equities: Indian markets are expected to open cautiously, with the Nifty likely to hover around 25,150-25,400, following a 0.7% dip in the Sensex and Nifty on July 14 due to selling in tech and frontline stocks Nifty Closes Below 25,150. Midcap and small-cap indices may outperform, supported by strong investor interest, with Nifty Midcap and Smallcap up over 0.7% and 1% respectively Broader Markets Outperform. Key stocks to watch include Himadri Special and Just Dial, with Q1 FY26 earnings expected to drive sentiment MarketsMojo News.
Commodities: Silver prices surged to a record Rs 1,14,875/kg on the MCX, boosting shares of Hindustan Zinc by nearly 3% Silver Rallies to All-Time High. Gold also rose over 1% globally, driven by safe-haven demand amid U.S. tariff concerns Gold, Silver Prices Surge. Crude oil prices may soften, supporting market sentiment Crude Oil Prices Falling.
Currency: The Indian Rupee is expected to strengthen slightly against the USD, buoyed by positive India-U.S. trade deal progress and tariff exemptions India-US Trade Deal Progress. Forex markets may see low volatility, with focus on U.S.-India trade talks.
Cryptocurrency: Global crypto markets remain buoyant, with Bitcoin surpassing $113,000, up 21% YTD Bitcoin Surges. Indian crypto trading is likely to follow global trends, though regulatory clarity remains a key watchpoint.
Bonds: India's bond market continues to attract retail interest, supported by digital platforms and growing corporate bond issuance, which crossed ₹7.3 lakh crore in FY24 Bond Market Awakening. RBI's ₹25,000 crore bond buyback plan may stabilize yields.
Funds: Equity mutual fund inflows surged 24% to ₹23,587 crore in June, reflecting strong investor confidence in midcap and small-cap funds Mutual Fund Inflows Surge. HSBC Mutual Fund sees India's growth cycle bottoming out, driven by favorable interest rates and monsoon forecasts HSBC Economic Outlook.
Money Markets: Lower crude prices and stable liquidity conditions may support money market stability, with focus on microfinance and housing finance sectors Global & Indian Finance Roundup.
Hyperlocal News:
- Mumbai: Equity fund inflows reflect strong local investor confidence Mutual Fund Inflows Surge.
- Surat: Diamond expo boosts local market sentiment Carats 2025 Expo.
- Ahmedabad: Aviation sector faces scrutiny post-June 12 plane crash, potentially impacting related stocks Ahmedabad Plane Crash Report.
