THE #DLG+2 DISPATCH (GLOBAL EDITION)
as on 4th DECEMBER,2025,THURSDAY
___________________
A Big Hello and A Very Good Moring to Readers and Viewers,
Today is THURSDAY, 4th DECEMBER 2025, and here we go with our THE #DLG+2 DISPATCH / THE DATELINE GUJARAT DISPATCH, - THE BUSINESS BUZZ ... The rupee just kissed 90 to the dollar and the country is pretending it’s just another Tuesday. It isn’t. While Putin jets in tomorrow to lock BrahMos deals and shield Moscow’s last real friend from Trump’s tariff hammer, IndiGo grounded 200 flights because it can’t keep pilots on payroll and a six-year-old in Haryana was murdered by her own aunt for being “prettier”. That’s the India we’re living in: hypersonic missiles on the table, serial killers in the family, and your grocery bill quietly up 15 % because the currency is in free-fall.
Today, i'm drafting this dispatch sitting from the Gujarat State's Capital - Gandhinagar, being Wednesday it is a usual day of briefing to the media by the State Government, after the cabinet meet.

However, on the eve of Wednesday, as I sit down to write the dispatch, an eve prior to the two days visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to India kicks-off, Gujarat Government Cabinet "did not have anything on the agenda" to discuss in the cabinet meet on the same diplomatic visit, despite the fact that Russian President Vladimir Putin's India visit is seen as a sign of firm shake-hand to strengthen bilateral trade especially in areas of energy and weapons.
Yesterday, as Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aircraft was already en route to New Delhi for a two-day visit that every strategic analyst worth his salt recognizes as a lifeline for India-Russia energy and defense cooperation, the Gujarat cabinet met in the state capital and, by its own spokesman’s admission, had precisely nothing to say about it.
Nothing on the agenda. Not even a courteous mention in the corridor chatter. When pressed by journalists on whether the state that proudly calls itself the “Growth Engine of India” had any plans—official, semi-official, or even vaguely aspirational—to engage with the Russian delegation, BJP MLA and ministerial spokesman Jitu Waghani offered the bureaucratic equivalent of a shrug: “As and when things will happen, we will keep you updated.”
Translation: don’t hold your breath.
This is not a minor diplomatic oversight; it is a flashing red warning light about Gujarat’s fading reflexes in national and global opportunity spotting.
Consider the stakes.
Surat’s diamond industry, which cuts and polishes eight out of every ten diamonds traded on planet Earth, is choking because Western sanctions have throttled the supply of Russian roughs. Alrosa, the Russian giant, used to be a reliable artery; today that artery is half-clotted. Yet the cabinet that met barely 400 km from Surat found more urgency in “innovative methods for cleaning polluted rivers” and the correct toilet-block designs for government schools.
Meanwhile, the second regional camp of Vibrant Gujarat 2025-26 is scheduled to begin in Rajkot next month—an event that exists for the sole purpose of attracting foreign investment and announcing big-ticket partnerships. One might have expected at least a tentative plan for a high-powered business delegation to dash up to Delhi and shake Putin’s hand while Narendra Modi is doing the same. Apparently not. Hamlet’s dilemma has been outsourced to Gujarati entrepreneurs: “To be (in Delhi) or not to be?”
There are deeper ironies.
GIFT City, Gandhinagar’s much-hyped International Financial Services Centre, is currently being live-streamed by every government-friendly influencer from CA Rachana Ranade to Doordarshan anchors as the answer to the rupee’s free-fall past ₹90 to the dollar. If GIFT City is truly the financial panacea the PIB’s sponsored roadshows claim, then surely a Russian presidential visit—complete with talk of rupee-rouble trade settlement mechanisms—was the perfect occasion to demonstrate it. Silence.
And then there is Nayara Energy, the Vadinar refinery in which Rosneft holds a 49.13% stake. Reports of a distress sale have been swirling for months. A single conversation in Delhi this week could have clarified intent, signalled stability, or opened alternative Russian participation in Gujarat’s energy story. Instead, the cabinet preferred to brainstorm the tone of Congress MLA Jignesh Mevani’s tweets against the Prime Minister. Priorities.
Let us be blunt: Gujarat once prided itself on punching far above its weight in national decision-making. Its businessmen used to camp in Moscow or Dubai the moment a sanction window cracked open; its officials would quietly corner visiting dignitaries long before the red-carpet welcome in Delhi. That instinct seems to have atrophied.
Yesterday’s cabinet meeting was not just a missed photo-op; it was a public confession that the state apparatus has grown complacent, inward-looking, and strangely timid on the exact issues—diamonds, energy, finance, and defence—that intersect most explosively with the Putin visit.
Jitu Waghani’s non-answer will be quoted for years as the moment Gujarat officially declared that geopolitics is something that happens to other people on other Wednesdays.
Putin leaves India tomorrow. The rough-diamond pipeline remains semi-blocked, the rupee continues its slide, Nayara’s future is uncertain, and the Rajkot investment summit is now condemned to open without the one bilateral story that could have dominated global business pages.
All because, in Gandhinagar, it was just another Wednesday.
The rupee just kissed 90 to the dollar and the country is pretending it’s just another Tuesday. It isn’t. While Putin jets in tomorrow to lock BrahMos deals and shield Moscow’s last real friend from Trump’s tariff hammer, IndiGo grounded 200 flights because it can’t keep pilots on payroll and a six-year-old in Haryana was murdered by her own aunt for being “prettier”. That’s the India we’re living in: hypersonic missiles on the table, serial killers in the family, and your grocery bill quietly up 15 % because the currency is in free-fall.
The government quietly killed its creepy Sanchar Saathi pre-install diktat after Apple stared them down, gold is the only thing still working, and birds are flocking to Gujarat wetlands like they know something we don’t.
Welcome to the new normal: strategic superpowers begging for old friends, airlines collapsing under their own success, and a little girl dead because beauty still kills.
Fasten your seatbelts, citizens; the turbulence is just beginning.
YOUR DAILY BRIEFING
That's your briefing—sharp, sequenced, sans fluff. As Ahmedabad's sun sets on 2025's tumult, remember: in chaos lies clarity. Stay informed, stay ahead. Tomorrow? More timelines, more truths.
Buckle up. The rupee just kissed 90 to the dollar for the first time ever, silver is up 103% this year like it’s 1980 all over again, and somewhere in Haridwar a groom is still recovering from being asked to “buy a bulb” on his wedding night. Here’s everything that actually matters today — newest first.1. Rupee breaches ₹90 – and the panic is real
- Indigo cancelled 200+ flights in one day → DGCA furious
- Delhi startup founder shuts company at 1 am after “frivolous” client complaint → goes viral → police detain team → internet crowns him hero
- Congress posts AI video of PM selling tea at red-carpet event → BJP loses its mind
- Putin landing soon → three European envoys publish anti-Putin op-ed → India calls it “unusual and unacceptable”
- NASA captures first-ever high-res satellite image of a tsunami → looks like a sci-fi movie
See you tomorrow — same time, same chaos.
Good evening, India. From the cricket field to the currency crash, from cheetahs roaming free to flights that never took off – here’s your editor’s cut of what truly mattered today, served reverse-chronological, raw, and unfiltered.
THE REST THAT CAUGHT OUR EYE
That’s your Wednesday wrapped – equal parts triumph (Kohli’s ton, cheetah’s freedom) and turmoil (rupee, IndiGo, Maoists). Tomorrow brings Putin, the series decider in Delhi, and hopefully fewer cancelled flights.
Meanwhile, lets take a look at what is buzzing across the World, Nation and State.

Hikal rocketed 13.6% on pharma tailwinds, On Mobile leaped 10.64% (gaming bets paying off?), and Midwest Ltd. climbed 10%—proof that in choppy seas, niche plays bob highest. Losers? BEL and M&M tanked 2% each, dragged by defense and auto blues; broader metals and energy bled 0.5-1.6% on crude spikes.

BSE mirrored: ~1,100 up, 1,700 down. Turnover? NSE cash/F&O clocked ₹1.2 lakh crore (flat YoY), BSE ~₹15,000 crore—uninspired volumes screaming "wait-and-watch" ahead of RBI.
Deals Drama: Block/bulk/short-sell specifics are elusive (exchanges playing hard to get), but whispers point to heavy F&O shorting in PSU banks (down 3%) and bulk buys in IT amid the dip. Turnover via blocks: ~₹5,000 crore NSE-wide (cash/F&O), BSE ~₹2,000 crore—smart money hedging, not herding. Full symbol lists? Zilch in feeds, but eyes on HDFC/ICICI rejigs fueling the Bank Nifty shuffle.
Weekly Verdict: Up ~1.5% overall, but Thursday's outlook? Range-bound (25,800-26,100 Nifty), per analysts—cautious pre-RBI, with DIIs (₹4,646 crore buys Tuesday) as the unsung heroes. Sensex, Nifty end flat after choppy sessionCommodity Cornucopia: Gold's Glory, Agri's AgonyMCX shone brighter than Diwali lamps: Gold rallied ₹8,500 in two weeks to ₹1.3 lakh (Feb '26), silver smashed records at ₹1,78,620/kg (+1.6%) on Fed cut bets and rupee woes.

EUR/INR? Up to 105.28 (+0.73%). Weekly? -1.6% slide on FPI outflows, crude at $63, and US tariff tango. RBI's playing coy—no panic intervention, letting it "crawl" for export edge.
Thursday? Bias downward (89.80-90.50), but Fed cut hopes cap it. Households, brace: Fuel/imports up 5-10%. India rupee falls to record low below 90Crypto Chaos: Bitcoin's Bungee JumpCrypto's wild week: BTC yo-yoed from $84k low to $93.9k high (+7%), closing ~$89.7k; ETH +8% to $3,042. Weekly? BTC/ETH +6.8%/4%, but November's 17% BTC bleed lingers on ETF outflows ($3.48B) and Strategy's hoard threats. XRP/BNB/SOL? +4-12%.
Outlook: Risk-off Dec start, but Fed flip could rocket BTC to $3k ETH. India? Volumes down, liquidity pinch—stick to majors. Bitcoin rises to two-week highBond & Money Markets: Yields Yielding...

Outlook: Ultra-short debt pivot amid rate fog—expect ₹1.3T liquid inflows Dec. Equity MF AUM Surges in Oct 2025
Thursday Crystal Ball (Dec 4): Muted open, Nifty 25,950-26,100 tango—RBI hawkishness could sting, but DII ballast and Fed dovishness buoy. Commodities/currency: Up on haven bids; crypto volatile pre-US data. Bonds/money: Steady till Friday fireworks. My hot take? This week's dip is your Santa rally setup—buy quality, ignore the rupee's drama. Dalal Street's script? Hero wins, but not without the rain song. Stay invested, stay sharp.
WORLD MARKET REVIEW & OUTLOOK
Global Markets' Rollercoaster: Fed's Dovish Whisper Ignites a Wednesday Rally, But AI Hype Fizzles—Here's the Raw Scoop from Down Under to the Great White NorthBuckle up, market mavens—December 3, 2025, was the kind of trading day that separates the bulls from the bears, the visionaries from the vaporware peddlers. As weak U.S. jobs data from ADP slammed the door on any lingering hawkish delusions, the Federal Reserve's near-certain rate cut next week became the gravitational force pulling risk assets higher. Global stocks clawed back from Monday's bond-yield jitters, commodities flashed green in metals while energy yawned, currencies crowned the euro queen, and crypto roared back like it had something to prove. But let's not sugarcoat it: AI's emperor-has-no-clothes moment dragged tech titans into the mud, reminding us that not every shiny narrative withstands a reality check. Turnover surged worldwide on bargain-hunting frenzy, advances outpaced declines in most hubs, and block deals whispered of big-money bets on beaten-down gems. Yet, as we eye Thursday's dawn, volatility lurks like a bad sequel—Fed euphoria could flip to tariff terror if Trump's trade tantrums escalate.
We start our whirlwind tour in the sun-soaked South Pacific, zigzagging through the globe's financial fault lines, ending stateside where the drama peaked. Buckle in; this is no dry recap—it's the unfiltered pulse of a world betting big on cheaper money.South Pacific (Australia-New Zealand): Kiwi Optimism Amid Aussie ApathyDown under, markets shrugged off Asia's gloom with modest gains, but it felt like a polite nod rather than a party.

Just don't get caught flat-footed. What's your play?

Social media's roasting the Modi government with rupee jokes sharper than a barber's wit – think memes of the INR as a sinking ship captained by fiscal fog. My two paise? This isn't Armageddon; it's a wake-up call. A weaker rupee juices exports (IT, pharma, textiles, hello!), but it stings importers and fuels inflation. RBI's got forex reserves to stem the bleed, but with MPC kicking off today, expect a hawkish nod – no rate cut fireworks just yet. Hang tight; if trade talks thaw, we rebound. Otherwise, stock up on gold – more on that later.December 2-3: IndiGo's Crew Crisis Grounds 200+ Flights – DGCA Plays CopTalk about turbulence: IndiGo axed over 200 flights in a single day yesterday, capping a nightmare November with 1,232 cancellations total, thanks to crew shortages, ATC snarls, and FDTL fatigue rules biting hard. Passengers at Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru turned airports into rage-fests, with "shut down!" chants echoing like a bad sequel. DGCA's probe is underway, demanding mitigation plans – they've already hauled IndiGo brass for a grilling. Pilots' union ALPA slammed it as "proactive planning failure," hinting airlines are lobbying to water down rest norms for profit.
My verdict? IndiGo's 60% market share is a monopoly curse – they own the chaos. Travelers, download apps for real-time alerts; airlines, hire more crews before we all start walking. This isn't just logistics; it's a symptom of aviation's post-pandemic hangover. Bonus: A separate check-in glitch yesterday hit Air India, IndiGo, and SpiceJet nationwide – manual boarding turned counters into medieval queues. Blame third-party gremlins; fixed by evening, but not before 100+ delays.December 1-2: Meesho IPO Pops 44% GMP – E-Tail's Darling Delivers?Meesho's ₹5,421 crore blockbuster IPO smashed records, subscribed 2.35x on Day 1 with retail leading the charge. Priced ₹105-111, GMP's at ₹49 (44% premium), eyeing ₹160 listing on Dec 10. SoftBank's baby targeted ₹4,250 crore fresh capital for scaling its Tier-2/3 e-comm empire – 1.83B orders in FY25? That's muscle. Analysts like Akash Podishetti call it a consumer win, but question investor ROI amid "unusual anchor allocations" exposing tech IPO tensions.
Opinion: Meesho's flipping the script on elitist e-tail – affordable, accessible, and aimed at Bharat's heartland. But with Flipkart and Amazon lurking, execution's king. If it sustains 46% user growth, it's a multibagger; else, a bubble pop. Retail quota's 10% – jump in if you're betting on desi digital democracy.November 30-December 2: JSW-JFE's ₹15,750 Cr JV – Steel's Indo-Japanese Power PlayJSW Steel and Japan's JFE inked a mega 50:50 JV worth ₹15,750 crore to turbocharge Bhushan Power & Steel's Odisha plant to 10MT by 2030. JFE's tech wizardry meets JSW's execution grit – think high-margin slabs for autos and infra. Shares dipped 3% post-deal (monetizing BPSL stake), but long-term? Goldmine amid India's steel hunger.
Buzz: This isn't just FDI; it's a blueprint for "Make in India" 2.0. With US tariffs biting exports, domestic tie-ups like this shield supply chains. Sajjan Jindal's playing chess while rivals play checkers – expect ripple effects in metals.November 28-December 1: RBI MPC Kicks Off – Rate Cut or Pause in This Goldilocks Glow?MPC's three-day huddle began Monday, with Friday's verdict hanging like a Diwali lantern. Inflation's at decadal lows (0.25% CPI), GDP roared 8.2% Q2 – but rupee's woes dim cut hopes. Economists split: 62% bet 25bps to 5.25% (HDFC, ICRA), others (BoB) say pause for growth's sake. Telegraph whispers a 25bps slice if inflation stays tamed.
Take: RBI's in a sweet spot – growth without overheating. Cut if rupee stabilizes; hold if Fed hikes spook. Borrowers, fingers crossed; savers, brace for meh rates.November 26-30: GDP at 8.2% – Reforms Paying Off, But Speedbumps LurkQ2 GDP clocked 8.2% (six-quarter high), trouncing 7.3% forecasts on manufacturing surge (9.1%) and services boom. Vivek Kaul calls it "great...until you look closer" – nominal growth's tepid 8.7%, hinting deflation risks. UN pegs FY26 at 6.4%; ORF hails reform wins.
Edge: 8.2% screams success – GST tweaks, fiscal boosts working. But rural distress and job gaps nag. Nomura's bullish: Nifty to 29,300 by '26 on this momentum. My call? Sustainable if private capex awakens; else, sugar high.November 25-29: SIM Binding Rule – WhatsApp's Nightmare or Fraud Buster?DoT's bombshell: Messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram et al.) must tie to active KYC SIMs by Feb '26, with 6-hour web logouts. Telcos cheer as national security shield; BIF cries overreach, privacy hits. Airtel/Jio hail it; critics fear surveillance state.
Hot take: Fraud's rampant – this nips it, but at what cost? NRIs abroad? Screwed on WiFi. Balance privacy with security, or watch trust erode.November 24-28: Maruti eVitara's 5-Star Glow-Up – EV Safety King?Maruti's eVitara snagged Bharat NCAP's first 5-star EV nod, with 7 airbags standard and ADAS suite. Launch Dec 2: 49/61kWh packs, 500km range, deliveries Jan '26. ARAI claims fast charging, robust aftersales.
Verdict: Maruti's flipping the EV script – safe, affordable (₹16-22L est.), network-backed. Rivals (Creta EV, BE 6) sweat; this could electrify mass adoption.November 23-27: Zhuque-3 Boom – China's Reusable Rocket Fizzles (Literally)LandSpace's Zhuque-3 orbited fine but exploded on landing – first Chinese reusable try flops spectacularly. SpaceX smirks; Beijing's catch-up stumbles amid US lead.
Scoop: Reusability's the holy grail – China's bold, but explosions teach fast. Watch for v2; global space race heats up.November 22-26: Gold/Silver Rally – Safe Havens or Rate-Cut Bets?MCX gold leaped ₹1,640/10g to ₹1.31L; silver hit ₹1.85L/kg on rupee rout and Fed cut wagers. ETFs up 100% YTD – lock profits or ride?
Insight: Rupee's pain = metals' gain. Inflation hedge supreme, but overbought? Dip-buy if Fed dovish Dec 10.November 21-25: PSU Banks Tank on FDI Snub – No 49% PartyGovt denies hiking PSU bank FDI to 49% (stuck at 20%); stocks plunged 6% (Indian Bank hardest hit). Nifty PSU Bank -2.5%.
Rant: Bureaucratic inertia kills reform buzz. PSBs need capital, but politics trumps progress. Private peers (HDFC/ICICI) yawn – time to pivot?November 20-24: OpenAI's Garlic Gambit – AI Arms Race HeatsAmid "Code Red" panic, OpenAI's Garlic LLM eyes GPT-5.5 launch '26, crushing Gemini 3 in coding/reasoning. Ads paused; focus on ChatGPT glow-up.
Nerd alert: Altman's sweating – Google's eating lunch. Garlic could reclaim crown, but ethics lag? AI winter incoming?November 19-23: Tata Sierra Spied – Retro Revival Roars BackUndisguised Sierra test mule flaunts road presence: turbo petrol rivals, prices Dec reveal. Launch Q1 '26; rivals Thar 5-door.
Cool factor: Nostalgia + tech = winner. Tata's betting big – will it Sierra-ously disrupt?November 18-22: RBI's Safe Trio – SBI/HDFC/ICICI "Too Big to Fail"RBI reaffirms SBI, HDFC, ICICI as D-SIBs – extra buffers for systemic shields. CET1 hikes from Apr '27.
Yawn or yay? Stability's boring but bankable. Depositors sleep easy; these anchors weather storms.November 17-21: Exato Tech IPO Allots – SME Sizzler at 114% GMPExato's ₹37Cr SME IPO allotted Dec 3; GMP ₹114 (114% pop). Listing Dec 5; booked 947x.
SME spice: Tech darling for cloud/AI plays. High GMP screams froth – chase wisely.November 16-20: Airport Glitches Galore – Check-Ins CrumbleManual mayhem: Check-in bugs delayed flights nationwide; Hyderabad chaos video viral. Microsoft outage fingered.
Rant: Infra's creaking under boom. Airlines, fix it – or we'll all be hitchhiking.November 15-19: Air India A320 Scandal – 8 Flights Sans Safety CertDGCA probes Air India flying A320neo 8x post-ARC expiry. Staff suspended; plane grounded.Shocker: Safety lapses mid-merger? Tata's honeymoon over – clean house, or trust erodes.November 14-18: Nomura's Nifty Crystal Ball – 29,300 by '26Nomura eyes 13% Nifty pop to 29,300; picks ICICI, Infosys for rally. Growth recovery, calm geopolitics fuel.
Bullish balm: Post-tariff blues fade; domestics drive. Selective shopping – my wallet's in.Wrapping the Buzz: Chaos as Catalyst?From rupee routs to rocket flops, December's dishing drama – but India's resilient. GDP's humming, IPOs exploding, EVs charging ahead. My bold call? Nifty cracks 27K by month-end on RBI relief; rupee stabilizes at 89.50 if trade talks tickle. Investors: Bet on steel, EVs, and exporters – skip the hype. What's your wildest '26 prediction? Hit reply – let's buzz.
So, let us see as to how the set of economic events across the world are setting the stage for the business, economic news developments ...
So, how are the sectoral news developments across the world and news-geographies shaping the global business news landscape ...
- Fuel-economy standards? Gone. Biden’s green dream terminated before breakfast.
- Immigration from 19 “countries of concern” (read: anywhere brown and Muslim)? Paused. Green cards frozen. Somali neighborhoods in Minnesota about to feel the ICE hammer, with Trump openly snarling “we don’t want them.”
- A Florida gubernatorial hopeful is already promising to fire every H-1B holder in state government, while another MAGA lawmaker wants to end dual citizenship (sorry, Melania).
- Meanwhile, an illegal Indian trucker mows down a newlywed couple in Oregon, an Afghan national allegedly screams “Allahu Akbar” while shooting at National Guardsmen, and Democrats answer by dumping fresh Epstein island photos and videos on the public—perfect timing, lads.
- Oh, and the President nodded off for an hour in a cabinet meeting after bragging he’s “sharper than 25 years ago.” The meme factories are working triple shifts.
Elsewhere in the region, the GCC rolls out its Schengen-style unified visa—good luck getting one if you hold a Pakistani passport, though. The UAE just froze ordinary visas for Pakistanis indefinitely.Africa – Continents Splitting, Children ExecutingGeologists confirm Africa is literally tearing itself apart; a new ocean will be born in 5–10 million years. In considerably less time—last week—the Taliban staged a public execution in a sports stadium. The triggerman? A 13-year-old avenging his family. Crowd size: 80,000. Medieval cosplay is alive and well in 2025.Europe – Rearming, De-Russifying, and Gen-Z on the BarricadesEU finally agrees to phase out Russian gas entirely by autumn 2027. Belgium still balks at using frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine, but the train is leaving the station. NATO chief Rutte warns members to get militarily ready—Russia is now spending 40% of its budget on defense. Putin, flush with battlefield gains around Pokrovsk, tells Europe “we’re ready for war if you want one.” Brussels answers with a collective eye-roll and more sanctions.
In Bulgaria, Gen-Z has taken to the streets with fire and fury, forcing the biggest anti-government protests in decades. Sofia backs down on the budget. The kids are not alright—and they’re winning.EurAsia & Russia-Ukraine – The Poker Table Is SmokingKremlin spokesmen keep leaking that Washington is suddenly “ready to take Russia’s views into account.” Putin accepted some US proposals, rejected others, and battlefield momentum is unmistakably his. NATO membership for Ukraine remains the “key question,” and nobody thinks Moscow will say yes. Two US Navy jets crash off the same carrier in the South China Sea within 30 minutes of each other—accidents happen, but the timing feels ominous when everyone’s talking escalation trigger is itchy.Asia – Floods, Fires, and Diplomatic IceOver 1,200 dead in “once-in-a-generation” floods across Indonesia, Thailand, and Sri Lanka—water is the new hurricane. Hong Kong searches for 31 missing after a deadly high-rise blaze; authorities immediately ban criticism-proof the narrative. In Dhaka, a Chinese medical team treats opposition leader Khaleda Zia while the interim government tightens security—South Asia’s chessboard never sleeps.
India fumes as British, French, and German ambassadors publish a joint op-ed slamming Putin days before his Delhi visit. The MEA calls it “unusual and unacceptable.” Message received: Europe still thinks it gets to lecture the Global South on who we can be friends with.
Beijing and Moscow deepen energy and strategic ties, pointedly aligning against Japan’s new hardline PM Sanae Takaichi. Macron flies in for hugs with Xi, trying to keep Europe from being squeezed out entirely. Taiwan reports fresh Chinese mock attack drills in the Strait. Same movie, new season.South Pacific (Australia-New Zealand)Quiet. Eerily quiet. They’re probably just enjoying the silence before the next submarine deal implodes.And Finally, the Stories That Remind Us Humans Are Still Ridiculous
- A raccoon breaks into a Virginia liquor store, goes on a bender, trashes the place, passes out in the bathroom. Viral immortality achieved.
- South Korea arrests four men who hacked 120,000 home security cameras to sell “sexploitation” footage.
- Archaeologists confirm a massive man-made pit ring around Stonehenge bigger than anything previously known. Our ancestors were apparently into giant-scale crop-circle cosplay 4,500 years ago.
No sugarcoating, no moral arc, no promised light at the end of the tunnel—just the raw feed, unfiltered, contradictory, and spinning faster than ever.
Stay sharp. Or at least stay awake—looking at you, Mr. President.
So, how are the sectoral news developments across the Nation (India) shaping the business news landscape of the nation ...
As Vladimir Putin lands in Delhi under a security blanket thicker than a Delhi winter smog layer — five-layer protection, snipers on rooftops, drones overhead, AI surveillance scanning every face — India is simultaneously juggling cyclones, cricket heartbreak, pilot shortages, Maoist body counts, and a government that can U-turn faster than an IndiGo flight trying to land in fog.
Welcome to the India story on steroids.
Meanwhile, in the Rest of the Republic…
- Chhattisgarh: 12 Maoists gunned down in Bijapur; three DRG jawans made the ultimate sacrifice. The jungle war grinds on.
- Delhi Air: New CM Rekha Gupta forms yet another high-level panel. Potholes to be filled in 72 hours. Pigs reportedly seen flying over India Gate.
- Kolkata Airport Mosque Row: A place of worship inside the airport perimeter is literally displacing the runway threshold. Vote-bank vs flight-safety is now an actual aviation debate.
- Cricket: Virat Kohli’s classy ton in vain as Aiden Markram’s South Africa level the series. Somewhere a statistician is updating “Kohli vs SA in ODIs = heartbreak.exe”.
- Taj Mahal = Curse? Agra’s BJP MP actually said in Parliament that the Taj Trapezium Zone is choking development. Twitter is torn between outrage and “finally someone said it.”
- Chennai: Cyclone Ditwah’s remnants have turned the city into Venice with worse traffic. Schools shut again.
- West Bengal Teachers: 32,000 teachers keep their jobs after Calcutta HC overturns a controversial termination order. Mamata does a victory lap.
- Labour Codes: Congress hits the streets alleging “anti-labour, pro-crony” laws. Implementation likely pushed to April 2026 because apparently even the government needs more time to figure out how to sell this one.
- Hornbill Festival: Nagaland reminds the world that India is also tribal dances, headgear that defies physics, and foreign tourists discovering there’s life beyond the Taj and Kerala.
This is India at the end of 2025 — a country where a Russian president needs AI protection, a mosque can mess with flight paths, a pilot shortage grounds the middle class, and somehow, in the middle of it all, a 19-year-old Vedic scholar just recited 2,000 mantras without a single break for 50 days straight.
Only here.
The story never sleeps. Neither, apparently, do the snipers on Delhi’s rooftops tonight.
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 ...
Barely an hour earlier, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel convened a high-stakes review in Gandhinagar, dissecting 27 developmental behemoths worth ₹11,360 crore—from railway quadrupling in Samakhiali-Gandhidham to Ahmedabad's Waste-to-Energy Plant. This marks the fourth such conclave, a testament to Patel's "periodic pulse-check" on 146 high-impact initiatives fueling Viksit Gujarat@2047. Urban flyovers in Surat and slum rehabs in Vadaj took center stage, with directives for seamless execution under PM Modi's holistic vision. It's a blueprint for ambition: infrastructure not as silos, but as symphonies of progress.
As the sun dipped, the All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC) urged the state to form a Vigilance Committee, a bulwark against "unnecessary harassment and raids" plaguing Surat's diamond trade. Chairman Rajesh Rokde's plea to Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi paints a picture of jewelers caught in compliance crossfire— a call for fair play in Gujarat's glittering underbelly.
Echoing that efficiency drive, Patel doubled down on 67 ongoing projects in another Gandhinagar huddle, from Kharicut Canal phases to Junagadh's underground drainage. "Integrated development is our mantra," he emphasized, aligning with national goals.
Meanwhile, a damning GARC report exposed Gujarat Public Service Commission's 47% staff crunch—112 against 211 sanctioned posts—blamed for 470-day recruitment delays. The sixth GARC missive to Patel pushes for a 10-year hiring calendar and digital exams, a radical reboot for youth empowerment.
Gujarat's economic roar drowned out the chill: FDI inflows surged, cementing its status as India's growth dynamo, while Gujarat Pipavav Port inked an MoU with NYK India for a 500,000-car RoRo upgrade—shares jumping 3% on the buzz. Yet, tragedy pierced the triumph: 18-year-old vlogger Prince Patel, the daredevil "PKR Blogger," met a grisly end on Surat's Great Liner Bridge, decapitated at 140 kmph sans helmet while filming a reel. His KTM "Laila" careened into a divider; an eerie pre-crash post about heavenly love for his bike went viral, a stark reel-to-reality warning on social media's reckless allure.
Reliance Industries scooped 225 engineering grads from state colleges in a mega placement blitz at LD Engineering College, injecting hope into Gujarat's talent pipeline. IFFCO's MD hailed the soft-launch of Bharat Taxi in Delhi and Gujarat—a driver-owned, zero-commission rival to Ola-Uber, backed by Amul and NABARD cooperatives. "By drivers, for drivers," it promises, with 51,000 sign-ups already.
GARC's reforms landed with force, advocating joint prelims and a Medical Services Recruitment Board to slash hiring timelines to 9 months— a youth-centric overhaul amid 47% vacancies plaguing GPSC.
December 2, 2025 – Echoes of Unity and Cyber Shadows
In a cyber wake-up, Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi rallied banks at SLBC's 187th meet: "Act faster on frauds!" A new joint panel with police promises swift freezes, spotlighting Gujarat's 2.25 crore Jan Dhan accounts as fraud frontiers. Amid trials of Bharat Taxi—driver dividends sans commissions—Sanghavi hailed a banker's heroics in thwarting a ₹45 lakh "digital arrest" scam.
The High Court granted bail to nine constables in the 2018 Bitcoin extortion saga—life sentences suspended pending appeal—while easing disability aid thresholds to 60% from 80%, unlocking Sant Surdas benefits for thousands from 2025-26.
A bungled police portal purge axed "beggar" and "mercenary" from profession lists—outdated relics exposed by scrutiny—while CEPT's Ahmedabad conclave saw mega-project architects unpack India's scale-up secrets, from tech to tenacity.
Mild chill nipped at heels: Ahmedabad's night at 16.5°C, a 1.3°C dip signaling winter's whisper.Gujarat's chapter? A whirlwind of welds and warnings—FDI floods, port pacts, and policy pivots propelling progress, tempered by crashes and courtrooms that demand course-correction. As Patel's statue looms large, the state races on: united, unyielding, but ever vigilant against the potholes of peril. What's next? Only the monsoon of momentum knows.
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 ...
Asia served up a steamy mosaic: Southeast monsoons eased, but India's northeast reeled from lingering floods, with Mumbai sweltering at 30°C (86°F) and humid haze. Gujarat, that sun-kissed gem, mirrored the heat in Ahmedabad at 29°C (84°F) daytime peaks, dipping to a crisp 13°C (55°F) overnight—enough to spark chai cravings. Broader Asia? Bangkok simmered at 32°C (90°F), while Tokyo chilled to 12°C (54°F) with urban fog.
Eurasia hunkered down in subzero gloom: Moscow's mercury plunged to -5°C (23°F) under overcast skies, fueling a classic Siberian bite, while Central Asian steppes like Almaty shivered at -2°C (28°F) with flurries dusting the peaks.
The Middle East flipped the script to balmy: Riyadh glowed at 22°C (72°F) with golden sands and zero drama, though Gaza's coastal strip hovered at a breezy 20°C (68°F) amid clear evenings— a rare oasis of calm.
Africa's spectrum dazzled: Cape Town's Table Mountain framed 22°C (72°F) sunshine with offshore breezes, but the Sahara scorched north at 28°C (82°F), while Nairobi's highlands cooled to 18°C (64°F) in misty equatorial charm.
Europe braced for the freeze: London's Thames fogged at 8°C (46°F) with drizzles, Paris mirrored at 7°C (45°F), and Berlin's winds howled to 4°C (39°F)—early harbingers of a polar plunge gripping the continent.
Latin America lounged in equatorial ease: Mexico City's highlands hit 20°C (68°F) with afternoon thundershowers, Bogotá's clouds capped at 15°C (59°F), and Rio's beaches sizzled at 29°C (84°F) under relentless sun.
The Caribbeans whispered vacation vibes: Havana's cigars paired with 27°C (81°F) trades, Jamaica's hills greened at 28°C (82°F) post-showers, and Barbados baked at 30°C (86°F)—pure rum-punch paradise, bar the odd squall.
Northern America? A polar vortex teaser clawed in: Mexico's Yucatán stayed sultry at 28°C (82°F), but U.S. Midwest plunged to -10°C (14°F) in Des Moines with blustery snow, Chicago at -7°C (19°F), and Canada's Toronto at -5°C (23°F) under gray blankets—Black Friday bundled like never before.
Arctic and Antarctic extremes bookended the chill: The North Pole's ice cap groaned at -25°C (-13°F) with howling gales, while Antarctica's McMurdo Station eked out -10°C (14°F) in endless daylight—penguins unfazed, humans bundled eternal.
India, that vibrant subcontinent, echoed Asia's warmth: Delhi at 24°C (75°F) with smoggy sun, while Gujarat's Ahmedabad held steady at 29°C (84°F) highs—festive prep under a hazy halo.Next 24 Hours: Swings from Sizzle to ShiverThe South Pacific holds its summer tease: Sydney forecasts 26°C (79°F) clears, Auckland 20°C (68°F) with patchy rains—barbies on, umbrellas handy.
Asia's heat persists: Mumbai to nudge 31°C (88°F), Gujarat's Ahmedabad steady at 30°C (86°F) sunny spells—monsoon ghosts fading fast.
Eurasia's deep freeze deepens: Moscow to -7°C (19°F) flurries, Almaty -4°C (25°F)—coat mandates issued.

BUSINESS NEWSWIRES
Kicking off with the hottest off the press (2 hours ago from The Hindu Business), India's smartphone exports to the U.S. have skyrocketed threefold to a jaw-dropping $1.47 billion in October alone. Globally, we're talking a 49.35% surge from $10.68 billion to $15.95 billion between April and October 2025. Opinionated take: This isn't mere stats; it's proof that India's tech manufacturing muscle is flexing harder than ever, outpacing China's slowdown. Amid trade tensions, this export boom could be the rupee's unlikely savior—or at least a buffer against its freefall. If policymakers play their cards right, we might just see "Made in India" smartphones dominating American shelves, turning geopolitical lemons into lucrative lemonade.
Barely an hour behind (3 hours ago, again from The Hindu Business), Ola Electric is finally waking up to its after-sales nightmare, deploying a 250-member taskforce to bulldoze service backlogs. With real-time coordination tackling everything from battery swaps to minor fixes, this overhaul signals desperation masked as innovation. Let's be real: Ola's EV ambitions have been electric on paper but shocking in execution. This move? A smart PR pivot, but it begs the question—why wait for customer fury to erupt? In a market where Tesla wannabes rise and fall, Ola's survival hinges on not just selling scooters, but servicing them like pros. Kudos for the scramble, but too little too late for jilted buyers?
Tied at the same timestamp (3 hours ago, The Hindu Business), Nepal and India are gearing up for talks on piping aviation fuel cross-border, with New Delhi hosting officials next week. From the Ministry of Commerce and Industry's lips: This could streamline supplies and cut costs. Commentary: In an era of energy insecurity, this pipeline chat is low-key brilliant—strengthening Indo-Nepal ties while hedging against global oil volatility. But with India's rupee tanking, will cheaper fuel imports exacerbate the trade deficit? It's a double-edged sword, folks; regional alliances are great, but not if they bleed the forex reserves dry.
Fast-forwarding slightly backward (4.5 hours ago, The Hindu Business), labor codes are poised for full rollout from April 1, 2026, with the government prepping draft rules. As a concurrent subject, both Centre and states must align—easier said than done. Hot take: This long-overdue reform could turbocharge ease of doing business, but the devil's in the delays. We've waited years; if botched, it risks union backlash and economic gridlock. Optimists, rejoice: A unified labor framework might finally make India the manufacturing magnet it pretends to be.
Now, the market meltdown intensifies (7.5 hours ago, Economic Times trifecta): "Ahead of Market" warns of 10 factors dictating Thursday's action as indices slide for a fourth day, rupee hits rock bottom, and RBI's rate call looms. "Market Wrap" echoes the gloom—Sensex down 31 points, Nifty below 26,000 amid foreign outflows. And "Sensex falls over 250 pts" piles on, with Nifty sub-25,950 as momentum fizzles near peaks. Unfiltered opinion: This isn't a dip; it's a reality check. With Trump-era trade uncertainties and relentless FII exits, India's record highs feel like a house of cards. The rupee's woes? Amplifying the pain. Yet, contrarians, this could be your entry point—volatility breeds bargains.
Shifting gears (8 hours ago, Economic Times), American Bitcoin stabilizes post a 40% plunge triggered by share lock-up expiry, backed by Trump's sons no less. Meanwhile, the rupee smashes through the "psychologically important" 90/$1 barrier for the first time, fueled by trade imbalances and FII flight. Expect more weakening, hedging spikes, and minimal RBI meddling. Blunt view: Crypto's wild ride mirrors the rupee's despair—both victims of hype and harsh economics. Trump's crypto flirtations? Entertaining, but irrelevant to India's forex fiasco. Time for RBI to step up, or watch exporters cheer while importers weep.
At 8.5 hours ago (Economic Times and The Hindu Business), a flurry: "Market Trading Guide" touts buys like Anupam Rasayan and Infosys for 10% gains amid bearish trends. NephroPlus IPO launches Dec 10, eyeing clinic expansions and debt payoff as India's dialysis giant. Smartphone sales plateau as consumers splurge on pricier devices lasting 3 years, per Xiaomi India—rural upgrades driving the shift. U.S. stocks mix it up, with Microsoft dipping on AI sales tweaks. Editorial edge: IPO mania is India's new gold rush, but NephroPlus shines for its health-tech niche. Smartphone stasis? Blame premium aspirations—good for margins, bad for volume kings. Wall Street's jitters? A reminder that AI hype has limits; India's IT exporters like Infosys could feast on the fallout.
Duties dominate at 9 hours ago (The Hindu Business): Finance Minister Sitharaman clarifies higher cigarette excise will be shared with states post-Lok Sabha bill passage. At 11 hours ago, she explains it's to maintain tax bite after GST cess ends—preventing a drop from 40%. Provocative spin: Sin taxes are fiscal genius, but sharing the pie? A nod to federalism amid state grumbles. Tobacco giants, brace for squeezes; public health wins, but at what cost to farmers?
OFS success at 9.5 hours ago (Economic Times): Bank of Maharashtra's stake sale oversubscribed, netting govt Rs 2,492 crore. Iran's rial hits lows at 10.5 hours ago (The Hindu Business), spiking food costs—echoes of sanction squeezes.
Midday marks (11.5-12 hours ago, Economic Times and The Hindu Business): Cupid leads 5 stocks at 52-week highs with 51% monthly gains. Gainers/Losers spotlight Indian Bank, Infosys amid rupee rout. NephroPlus IPO details reiterated. Markets drop for fourth day, Sensex -31, Nifty -46 amid FII outflows. Rupee's "destiny" is depreciation to 90 as new normal, per Nilesh Shah. Manipal Hospitals eyes $1B IPO in Jan for $13B valuation. Pine Labs swings to Rs 6 crore Q2 profit. Rupee closes at 90.21 low. Vidya Wires IPO subscribed 2.3x Day 1 with 13% GMP. Address Maker ties Rs 200 crore funding. NSE okays Tradetron for algo trading.
Deeper in (13-14.5 hours ago): Emission monitors mandated by Dec 31 or closures loom for Delhi-NCR industries. Rupee's 90 cross impacts markets, students abroad. Migsun invests Rs 250 crore in Yamuna project. Meesho IPO boasts strong anchors, free cash focus. PSU banks plunge 7% on FDI denial. Aequs IPO subscribed 2x Day 1 with 37% GMP. Capri eyes Rs 50,000 crore AUM. 9 midcaps soar 125%. Copper appeals on MCX dips. Meesho anchor protests. IndiGo delays from pilot shortages. Embassy REIT buys Bengaluru office. Mahindra redevelops Mumbai society for Rs 1,010 crore revenue.
Further back (15-16.5 hours ago): AWS bets on AI agents for enterprises. NBCC bags Rs 643 crore contract. Japan bonds hit highs on BOJ fears. Q2 profits boom from muted crude, surging cement. IT stocks rise 2% on rupee fall. Profit pools shift. Uday Kotak on rupee at 90. Meesho IPO Day 1: 42% subscribed, 44% GMP. Hotels in growth cycle. DoT mandates KYC caller names. Rupee's 40-year slide. Memory-chip shortage soars prices.
Even older (17-18.5 hours ago): FII outflows drain breadth. Europe phases Russian gas by 2027. Vietnam bonds raise $298M. JGB yields rise. Aequs as aerospace underdog. Silver hits Rs 1.84 lakh/kg. AI boom tempers 2026 outlook. BofA expects Fed cut. Inox Wind picks. Rupee falls record low. Corona Remedies IPO Dec 8. Indian bonds slip. Bitcoin rebounds to $92K. Amazon uses Nvidia for AI. Trump crypto wipeout. Sun Pharma jumps 11%. Bank/infra selectivity. Rupee beyond 90 means for investors. Apis 24:1 bonus. Solanki prefers Aptus. AU SFB as tech play. Gold steady at Rs 1.30 lakh. ICICI, Infosys in Nomura's 20 picks.
Wrapping the tail (19-20.5 hours ago): Nomura eyes Nifty at 29,300. KPI wins 142MW solar. Meesho/Aequs analyst picks. Sun Pharma Rs 3,000 crore investment. Rupee falls to 90. Weak rupee as strength? IPO GMP updates. Stock lives from UPL to Apollo Hospitals—mostly dips, some shines like Hero MotoCorp's 18% return.
Bottom line: India's economy is a high-stakes thriller—rupee's plunge a plot twist, exports and IPOs the heroes. But with RBI's decision imminent, ignore the noise at your peril. This crux? Bet on resilience; the smart money does.
