INDIA NEWS | Thu, 17 Sep 2026, 1:02AM IST New Delhi: Higher oil prices sparked by the Hormuz crisis may have lifted the fortunes of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation's (ONGC)'s oil exploration business, but its petrochemical unit is facing adverse conditions as feedstock prices go through the roof, a senior ONGC official said. "The feedstock is linked with international prices of gas and naphtha. With the Hormuz crisis happening, our calculations may have gone wrong," the official told ET.The Dahej complex runs on natural gas and naphtha, both linked to international prices. Naphtha prices have nearly doubled from around $600 to more than $1,100, while gaseous feed supplies to its Dahej plant have stopped completely, leaving the company exposed on both key inputs. "As and when gaseous feed starts, the plant will be normalised," the official added without indicating when gaseous feed supplies would resume.ONGC Petro additions Ltd (OPaL) swung to a negative EBITDA of Rs 57 crore in the June quarter of FY27, from a positive EBITDA of Rs 1,207 crore in FY26, a deterioration of Rs 1,264 crore. The company which had guided for EBITDA of Rs 2,000 crore this financial year, is now uncertain about when the plant can be normalised.134296096OPaL is particularly exposed because it buys naphtha from the open market and does not yet have infrastructure to import ethane, a cheaper alternative feedstock for crackers. That leaves it at a disadvantage against larger competitors.Queries sent to ONGC remained unanswered until the time of going to press.Rival Reliance Industries Ltd's (RIL) oil-to-chemicals business posted a record quarterly EBITDA of Rs 17,010 crore, up 17.2% year-on-year, helped by ethane-based cracking economics in its petrochemical complex and its dedicated ethane import infrastructure built over years.Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) petrochemicals business also remained profitable, with EBITDA of Rs 216.85 crore, supported by captive naphtha from its refineries at Panipat, Koyali, Barauni and Mathura.OPaL, meanwhile, has gone from expecting a strong year to starting it in the red and is now trying to fix the structural cost disadvantage. It plans to exit the C2 and C3 product lines from its Special Economic Zone unit, a move expected to add about Rs 1,000 crore to annual EBITDA. It has also signed an MoU with Japan's Mitsui to build ethane carriers and bring cheaper imported feedstock into India, but this will be built by FY29-30. "We will be bringing ethane from the international market. With that, our feedstock cost will come down," the official quoted earlier added.The pressure on OPaL adds to the strain elsewhere in ONGC's downstream portfolio. It's another arm, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), reported a Rs 12,265 crore quarterly loss, though ONGC's own upstream business benefited from higher crude prices.

To stabilize its finances, OPaL intends to divest from specific product lines and plans to import lower-cost ethane feedstock by the fiscal year 2029-30.

INDIA NEWS | Thu, 17 Sep 2026, 12:49AM IST Mumbai: Indian auto parts makers are expanding manufacturing presence overseas and building advanced engineering capabilities to capitalise on global automakers shifting their sourcing strategies away from single-country production hubs toward suppliers that can design components in one location and manufacture them across multiple sites globally. This transition is being driven by trade uncertainties, unpredictable tariffs, and supply chain disruptions.The trend is accelerating across major tier-1 suppliers, including Suprajit Engineering, Highway Roop Precision Technologies, SPR Auto Technologies, and Tenneco, as OEMs prioritise supply chain flexibility over single-country dependence."Global OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) are looking for a diversified footprint where you can develop the product in one location and then supply from multiple locations," Ajit Rai, chief strategy officer at Suprajit Engineering told ET. Bengaluru-based Suprajit-a manufacturer of control cables and mechanical and electronic parts-operates plants across India, China, Mexico, Hungary, and Morocco. This distributed setup enables global clients to shift order volumes seamlessly to hedge against tariff swings.134295888"Whatever learnings we have had in China, we can deploy in Mexico, Hungary, or Morocco," said Rai, highlighting that if trade barriers make one region uncompetitive, production can be reallocated elsewhere without switching suppliers.This evolving "China+1" dynamic is backed by data from a joint BCG-ACMA report, which forecast India's auto parts exports to surge to $45 billion by the turn of the decade from $24 billion in FY26. While India currently holds less than 5% of the global trade in auto parts compared to China's 12%, Indian suppliers are rapidly closing the gap as product technology reaches global standards.Also read | US Green Card new rules take effect September 18: What Indian applicants need to knowTenneco highlighted that technological equalisation has made India-engineered parts directly comparable to European quality. "Because of technology equalisation, products developed and supplied from India are now at the same tech level as those sold in Europe," said Arvind Chandra, CEO at Tenneco, noting strong demand from European automakers seeking to diversify their supply lines away from China.At the same time, Indian suppliers are taking on greater design responsibility to cement global partnerships.Highway Roop, which derives 55% of its 2,500 crore annual revenue from exports, is transitioning from build-to-print manufacturing into proprietary product design and sub-assemblies. "OEMs increasingly want their tier-1 suppliers to handle more engineering because their own internal resources are stretched across new technologies," according to the company.Similarly, SPR Auto is expanding across sub-assemblies and multiple powertrains including hybrid, hydrogen, CNG, and electric platforms, reducing its legacy internal combustion engine business to under 35% of revenue.Also read | Russia squeezed, Saudi route hit, China circles: Why India's oil bill could get heavier"We are already doing a lot of sub-assemblies," said Krishnakumar Srinivasan, MD & CEO at SPR Auto, highlighting a recent order win to supply full floor console assemblies. "We now have over 14 plants in the country and eight assembly centres."By offering multi-country manufacturing flexibility alongside full-service design, Indian companies are positioning themselves not just as low-cost alternatives to China, but as indispensable partners in the restructured global automotive supply chain.

INDIA NEWS | Thu, 17 Sep 2026, 12:31AM IST Washington: A destroyed aircraft, shredded tents, trailers that have been ripped apart: images taken by US troops show significant damage from Iranian strikes targeting American military assets in the Middle East, CBS News reported.The undated images -- taken at a base in Saudi Arabia and two facilities in Kuwait -- were provided to CBS by American personnel on condition of anonymity due to US military restrictions, the outlet said late Tuesday."This is major damage to our bases that hasn't been communicated to the American public," CBS quoted one US service member as saying."We're standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face," the service member added.The Pentagon's inspector general released a report earlier this week that said the military's Central Command (CENTCOM) -- which is responsible for US forces in the Middle East -- had reported widespread damage to American facilities and equipment.CENTCOM said Iranian strikes "damaged and destroyed hundreds of buildings and structures at US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, and Jordan," the report said."In addition, dozens of US aircraft were destroyed or damaged" during the war, the report said.The Defense Department estimated the cost of the war at $33.4 billion as of June 29, but that figure "does not include costs for infrastructure repairs," according to the report.The US and Israel launched the war against Iran on February 28, with President Donald Trump saying the goal was to prevent the Islamic republic from obtaining nuclear weapons -- which Tehran denies it is seeking.Iran retaliated with attacks across the region and blockaded the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of world oil supplies previously flowed -- a move that has sent oil prices soaring and caused global economic fallout.
