S’abattant sur les côtes au début du festival de la mi-automne, Bebinca est la deuxième tempête à perturber la chine en plusieurs semaines. < Back Le typhon le plus forte depuis sept décennies s’abat sur Shanghai S’abattant sur les côtes au début du festival de la mi-automne, Bebinca est la deuxième tempête à perturber la chine en plusieurs semaines. Quelques semaines après le passage du super typhon Yagi sur l’ile de Hainan, un autre orage s’est attaque la capitale financière du chine, Shanghai. Plus tard, la tempête a procédé vers le nord du Viêt Nam et la Thaïlande. De violents coups de vent d’une vitesse de 120 kilomètres par heure se sont abattus sur Shanghai lundi matin. C’était un ouragan de catégorie 1 sur l’échelle de Saffir Simpson a cinq niveaux, la plus forte tempête depuis 1949, selon le Centre conjoint d’alerte aux typhons. Shanghai compte 25 millions d’habitants. Il a déclenché dimanche une intervention d’urgence hautement prioritaire et a entrainé l’arrêt des ports, des trains, de 1400 vols, et des routes, ce qui a eu un impact sur la logistique mondiale et l’a retardée. La production et le transport de marchandises ont été affectés, ce qui a eu un impact sur les prix mondiaux des produits de base. Previous Next

< Back Delhi skies may witness air taxis by 2026 20 Apr 2024 Archer Aviation plans to launch air taxis to cover the distance between Connaught Place, Delhi, and Gurugram in seven minutes for ₹3,000. Besides the US and UAE, Archer Aviation plans to launch air taxis in India by 2026. It partnered with InterGlobe Enterprises, the owner of IndiGo Airlines, and intends to replicate its model of achieving economies of scale with higher trip volumes and lower costs. Its air taxis, or electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) can take off and land vertically unlike helicopters. Moreover, being electric, it produces lesser emissions and noise. A way-way trip between Connaught Place and Gurugram will take seven minutes and is expected to cost ₹3,000, that is five times a cab ride. It will launch the service in Mumbai and Bengaluru after Delhi-Gurugram. Archer Aviation is in discussions with Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to secure permissions. DGCA is formulating a policy specifically for urban air mobility, which differs from drone transport. Archer Aviation tied up with Honeywell, Safran, and Garmin for component supply. Previous Next

< Back Road Ministry planning centralised hubs for all transportation modes 21 Aug 2024 The ministry aims to develop integrated public transport and terminals across India, combining road, rail, air, water, helipads, and ropeway modes of transport. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is actively working on its One Nation, One Location initiative to integrate all modes of transport for speedier freight and passenger movement. National Highways Logistics Management, National Highways Authority of India’s fully owned subsidiary, will develop two pilot hubs in Tirupati and Katra within two years, followed by Nagpur and Varanasi. It will reduce passengers' navigation challenges due to a fragmented transportation system, including local public transport. An integrated system will minimise transit time, facilitate smooth transfers between different transport modes, and offer amenities like parking spots, hotels, and retail outlets. Integration will happen using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and data analytics. The government is encouraging Public-Private Partnerships for this project. The hubs will be a one-stop solution for 87% of the passenger traffic using road transport in India. The development of city centres will further reduce city congestion and boost economic activity.

< Back Bom Hang: The trauma of Vietnamese drivers for cash on delivery orders 15 Jan 2024 Drivers have to pay upfront to collect the COD orders. The driver loses money if the customer's address doesn’t exist or the order is cancelled. Bom hang , or fraud orders for the most popular COD mode of online payment is the biggest nightmare for drivers in Vietnam. This market faces up to 15% of failed deliveries. Bogus addresses, last-minute cancellations, or unreachable customers cause drivers to lose money on delivery fees, money they pay to restaurants for food pickup, and transportation charges incurred for the delivery. Companies like Shopee, Be, and Grab have reimbursement policies, but drivers find them cumbersome and time-consuming. Most ask drivers to bring the undelivered food to their office, which costs them extra. These platforms allow drivers to mention the maximum amount they can risk on a COD order. A horde of scammers has emerged that use fake numbers and addresses to trick drivers into paying for bogus orders. Drivers warn each other through Facebook groups by blacklisting addresses and numbers, but it is not always effective. Previous Next

< Back Govt to verify air purifier claims; mandates environmental claims disclosure 16 Oct 2024 The Indian government rolled out new guidelines to control greenwashing and deceptive environmental claims. After Union Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi accused air purifier manufacturers of false claims about their products, the Indian government announced its plans to conduct market surveillance to evaluate the performance of these products against the company claims. Bureau of Indian Standards will examine their performance with existing air filter quality control orders. The Centre has introduced fresh guidelines to identify greenwashing and false eco-friendly claims by companies. All claims like ‘100% recyclable’ and ‘net zero emissions’ must be accompanied by verifiable evidence, independent research, and third-party verification. All material details must be accessible to the end user through QR codes and URLs. The guidelines also mandate companies to use consumer-friendly language explaining the sustainability or eco-friendliness of the product and whether the claim is about the product, its manufacturing process, packaging, or disposal. The Consumer Affairs Ministry’s decision will be final in case of ambiguity or dispute. Previous Next

< Back Jio Financial Services becomes Core Investment Company after RBI nod 17 Jul 2024 Jio received approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to transition from a Non-Banking Financial Corporation (NBFC) to a Core Investment Company (CIC). After its demerger from Reliance Industries’ financial division and a change in its shareholder pattern, RBI directed Jio Financial Services (JFS) to convert into a CIC. JFS then filed an application with RBI to become an independent investment entity. A Core Investment Company (CIC) owns assets exceeding ₹100 crore, and at least 90% of them must be invested in debentures, bonds, debt, or loans extended to group firms, equity and preference shares. A CIC deals mainly in the acquisition of shares and securities. This transition will change JFS’s operational structure. As a CIC, it will become more compliant with regulatory frameworks and have a streamlined organisational structure. JFS can now act as a diversified financial services arm and support Reliance Industries’ business ventures. This will allow JFS to allocate capital to its subsidiaries efficiently. JFS currently offers investment and lending, payment gateway, and banking services. Previous Next

< Back Iran-Israel War: Indian oil imports, exports to EU impacted 16 Jun 2025 The Middle Eastern war entered Day 4 with neither Iran nor Israel ready to back down. An Israel-Iran war can impact the Indians present in the two fighting nations and the Indian economy. India has strong relations with two countries as energy partners. India imports 85% of its crude oil. Disruptions in the Middle East, especially the Strait of Hormuz, which carries 20% of global oil trade, could hike prices. Along with the Red Sea, this route carries Indian exports to Europe and Russia. India doesn’t directly import oil from Iran. Still, the impact was visible in the Sensex, which dropped 573 points on Friday when Israel launched ‘Operation Rising Lion’ against Iran’s key military figures and nuclear infrastructure. Crude oil prices spiked by 8% on Friday. Using the Cape of Good Hope adds around 20 days per trip and USD500-1,000 per container, thus leading to a 50% hike in overall logistical costs. Around 20,000 Indians are in Israel, and 10,765 are in Iran, including students. Never miss another post from SalestorrsNews150.

< Back Apple records highest-ever sales in India in the March 2024 quarter 7 May 2024 Its two company-owned outlets in India generated revenue of up to ₹210 crore each in FY2024, becoming Apple’s top-performing retail outlets worldwide. Driven by increasing sales of Pro models, Apple recorded approximately $2 billion in sales in the quarter ending March 2024. It had recorded roughly $6 billion in sales in FY2023. Globally, Apple recorded $90.75 billion in revenue in the quarter ending March 2024, compared to $94.8 billion in the same period in FY2023. Its iPhone sales dropped by 8% annually, mainly due to a decline in sales in the Greater China region, which includes Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore, as well as tough competition from Huawei. However, Apple set a half-yearly revenue record in India and more emerging markets like Latin America, the Phillippines, Turkey, the Middle East, and Indonesia. One of the main factors contributing to its revenue growth in India is operational expansion and local manufacturing. Apple India generates almost 95% of its revenue from product sales and the rest from maintenance and services. Previous Next
