Billionaire <keyword id="22623487" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Stanley-Druckenmiller" source="keywords">Stanley Druckenmiller</keyword>'s family office-led investment firms were among the companies that sought shares of AESL in the QIP. AESL in the filing said its board has approved allocation of over 8.57 crore shares to eligible qualified institutional buyers at the issue price of Rs 976 per share, reflecting a discount of Rs 51.11 (4.98 per cent) to the floor price of Rs 1,027. Giving details of allottees who got more than 5 per cent of shares, it said INQ Holdings LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of QIA, cornered 15 per cent of the shares sold. Two Mauritius funds of Citigroup bought 8.88 per cent of the shares sold while four SBI funds - SBI Infrastructure Fund, SBI Large &amp; Midcap Fund, SBI Long term Advantage Fund Series IV and SBI Magnum Children's Benefit Fund - together took home 7.93 per cent of the shares. Nomura Singapore Ltd ODI cornered 7.5 per cent of the shares, the filing showed. INQ had in August last year acquired nearly 2.7 per cent in Adani Green Energy Ltd - the renewable energy firm of the conglomerate run by billionaire Gautam Adani. In 2020, it had acquired a stake in Adani Electricity Mumbai Ltd, a subsidiary of AESL. The AESL QIP last week was oversubscribed six times and fetched demand of over Rs 50,000 crore against an issue size of USD 1 billion. <keyword id="22636516" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Duquesne-Family-Office" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Duquesne Family Office" meta.hostid="267" meta.entityid="Duquesne Family Office">Duquesne Family Office</keyword> and two other US-based long-only funds - Driehaus Capital Management and Jennison Associates - bought shares but AESL did not disclose the exact number of shares they bought since these were less than 5 per cent of the issue size, sources said. The QIP issue marked the debut of highly prestigious long-only investors Duquesne Family Office, Driehaus Capital Management and Jennison Associates which are known for their strong performance. These investors are known for investing only in companies with high governance and are known for staying invested for decades. The QIP was the first public equity raise by the conglomerate since a damning Hindenburg report last year wiped away billions in shareholder value. The demand generated made the AESL QIP the largest in the energy space. Duquesne was founded by billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller, who along with George Soros in 1992 broke the Bank of England by shorting the British pound, leading to its crash and earnings over a billion dollars. Adani Group has a history of introducing several long-only investors in the market. In the past years, it has brought large investors including GQG Partners and International Holding Company (IHC) besides QIA. Other major global names that participated in the QIP include Blackrock, Jupiter Asset Management, and Eastspring. Domestic mutual funds that have participated included HDFC Mutual Fund, Axis Mutual Fund, Bandhan Mutual Fund, LIC, WhiteOak, 360One among others. Insurance companies including SBI Insurance, SBI Pension and ASK Asset Management have also participated, according to sources. QIP is an instrument used by listed companies to raise funds from large institutions. The fundraise is the first after Adani group's flagship firm scrapped a Rs 20,000 crore issue in February last year, following the Hindenburg report alleging accounting fraud and stock manipulation. Though the group vehemently and repeatedly denied all allegations, listed companies of the conglomerate at one point saw over USD 150 billion of their market value being wiped out. While the group has largely recovered, a successful QIP is being seen as a powerful vote of investor confidence in the tycoon. Separately, Adani Enterprises Ltd, the flagship firm of the group, is looking to revive its first-ever public sale of bonds. It plans to raise as much as Rs 600 crore. The company has hired Trust Investment Advisors, AK Capital Services and Nuvama Wealth Management as lead managers for the issuances. The group had tapped the dollar bond market in March this year - the first time since the Hindenburg report - when its solar energy unit Adani Green Energy Ltd and associated firms got bids of about USD 2.9 billion.

A day ahead of the final Budget presentation, India released the <keyword id="20613906" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="economic-survey" source="keywords">Economic Survey</keyword> 2023-2024, outlining a plethora of optimistic — and some bittersweet — indicators of the health of the nation’s economy. When you consider the climate-related aspects of the report, there’s a ton of good news: we have achieved massive strides in clean power generation, while cutting out a ton of dirty emissions from our products. However, scroll down to the bottom of the report, and you find a scathing criticism of the “western” approach to climate change. Here's a closer look at why, and what clues do such narratives hold about India's <keyword id="22513472" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="environmental-strategy" source="keywords">environmental strategy</keyword> in coming years. <h2>Problems with the “Western way”</h2>The major criticism, as per the survey, is that the Western approach to climate change is far too alarmist. They argue that this “one-size-fits-all” attitude often fails to account for the diverse needs of countries like India. To that end, it also points out that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) promotes "accelerated and equitable mitigation pathways" that don't always align with the developmental priorities of <keyword id="20353838" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="developing-nations" source="keywords">developing nations</keyword>. Additionally, the report notes that Western solutions often prioritise market-based strategies to sustain high consumption levels rather than addressing the root issue of overconsumption. The survey emphasises that <keyword id="20224417" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sustainable-living" source="keywords">sustainable living</keyword> is deeply ingrained in <keyword id="19983840" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-culture" source="keywords">Indian culture</keyword>, which contrasts sharply with the consumption-driven lifestyle prevalent in the West. This focus on high consumption misses the mark, as it doesn't consider the environmental impact of such lifestyles. And for the most part, this bit is true; Indian history is enriched with traditions that emphasise the conservation of nature. As <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1155/2017/3828609">per estimates</a>, religious practices have preserved an estimated 1.5 lakh sacred groves across India, and natural conservation efforts can be traced back to the time of Ashoka. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111925936" title="Economic Survey 2023-24: Where does India stand on the employment, and what&amp;#39;s next?" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>Therefore, it may not be entirely inaccurate to say that in India, sustainability isn't a new concept; it's a way of life. Traditional Indian practices like using reusable materials, upcycling, and embracing minimalism have always promoted sustainability. The survey highlights that these practices are now threatened by Western capitalist ideals that equate consumption with progress. By returning to these roots, India can offer a model of sustainability that's both practical and culturally relevant. <h2>Fixation on technical solutions</h2>The Economic Survey also critiques the Western obsession with high-tech solutions, such as solar-powered buildings and electric vehicles. These solutions require substantial financial and infrastructural resources that many developing countries simply don't have. Moreover, they often overlook the broader environmental impact and lifecycle costs associated with urban sprawl and high-density living. Instead, the survey suggests that simpler, more holistic solutions might be more effective and sustainable. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111774972" title="Economic Survey shows India&amp;#39;s energy needs to grow 2.5x, healthy growth in formal employment" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>However, this does not mean that India refuses to embrace greener tech. Not only has the country launched various initiatives to promote energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, it also aims to to generate 40% of its energy from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030. As per the report, India is the only G20 country on track to meet the 2°C warming commitment under the Paris Agreement, with significant investments in <keyword id="19895602" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="renewable-energy" source="keywords">renewable energy</keyword>, particularly solar power. <h2><keyword id="20269618" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mission-LiFE" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Mission LiFE" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Mission LiFE">Mission LiFE</keyword>: A sustainable initiative</h2>In order to help reinforce and rejuvenate the Indian way, the survey highlights Prime Minister Modi's Lifestyle for Environment initiative, or Mission LiFE. This initiative underscores individual responsibility in combating climate change, drawing from ancient Indian philosophy that advocates for a naturally sustainable lifestyle. By focusing on small, individual actions that collectively lead to significant environmental benefits, Mission LiFE contrasts sharply with the Western top-down policy approach. This grassroots strategy could be key to achieving real, lasting change, the report asserts. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111927198" title="On the right track — Economic Survey 2023-24 outlines India’s commendable climate action" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>All in all, the report challenges the dominance of Western policies and offers a pathway that could be more adaptable and relevant for other developing nations facing similar challenges. With its ongoing progress towards climate goals, India is well-placed to lead by example, showcasing a sustainable and culturally attuned approach to environmental stewardship.

Why did the latest Economic Survey of India heavily shun the ‘Western ways’ of climate action?

Trump's promise to safeguard these subsidies during tax negotiations could make his $1 billion fundraising effort seem like a minimal investment for the industry."Trump's 2017 tax cuts significantly benefited the oil and gas sector. With some of these cuts set to expire next year, intense lobbying efforts are underway. Records show that major oil companies and the American Petroleum Institute (API) have actively engaged lawmakers to oppose Biden's tax proposals.The high-stakes Mar-a-Lago event featured executives from smaller firms specializing in areas like fracking and gas exporting, which are particularly vulnerable to regulatory changes.Trump is continuing to court oil industry donors, holding high-cost fundraisers with figures like John Catsimatidis, whose refinery has a poor safety record, said The Guardian.In November, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-oil-gas-industry-political-donations-environment-drilling-2024-campaign-2023-11">BI's John L.

Mylene does 30 minutes of light to moderate exercise five days a week, she said.<a href="https://clarissalenherr.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Clarissa Lenherr</a>, a registered nutritionist and gut-health specialist, told Insider that it's great that Mylene was keeping active but that she should also do some <a href="https://www.insider.com/strength-training-women-benefits-lift-weights-celebrity-personal-trainer-2023-1">resistance training</a> to help her lose fat and maintain muscle."Having <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/fitness/benefits-of-lifting-weights">more muscle</a> can lead to a higher resting metabolic rate, which may support fat loss," she said.From an energy perspective, Lenherr recommended Mylene check to make sure her <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/diet-nutrition/vitamin-d-benefits">vitamin D</a> level was not low, as this could be an issue, especially in the darker months of the year. Keeping a food diary and logging when she feels bloated could also help Mylene work out her triggers, Lenherr said.<a href="https://www.insider.com/have-more-energy-with-better-snacks-protein-2023-3">Eating more</a>, particularly <a href="https://www.insider.com/eat-bigger-meals-healthy-snacks-carbs-boost-energy-lose-weight-2023-7">more carbs</a>, could also boost Mylene's energy levels, dietitians have previously told Insider.<h2>Protein powder can trigger digestive issues for some</h2>For breakfast, Mylene makes a smoothie consisting of almond milk, protein powder, coffee, and half a banana, she said.Lenherr said it's helpful to eat <a href="https://www.insider.com/high-protein-daily-diet-to-lose-body-fat-keep-muscle-2021-8">protein</a> over the course of the day."Protein is important for supporting energy levels and can help keep us full and satisfied, which may reduce snacking and sugar cravings, both of which, when done in excess, can make fat loss harder," she said.Lenherr recommended adding greens, blueberries, and chia seeds to the smoothie to boost the fiber content, but it's important to up fiber intake gradually, as doing so rapidly can sometimes trigger bloating."If her bloating is related to constipation, she may wish to increase her fiber intake to support increased frequency of bowel movements, which, in turn, can help reduce the bloating," she said. "<a href="https://www.insider.com/tracked-fiber-intake-harder-than-expected-to-meet-daily-goal-2021-11">Fiber</a> helps keep us full and can contribute to weight loss."Adding more fruits and vegetables to her smoothie would also provide Mylene with additional <a href="https://www.insider.com/black-tea-health-benefits-daily-drinking-linked-longer-life-study-2022-8">polyphenols</a> to boost her gut health.

Look for ones free of artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohol, and emulsifiers.<h2>Eat fiber at every meal</h2>At lunchtime, Mylene eats two slices of gluten-free bread with some avocado, tuna, and flaked chiles.To add fiber, Mylene could try a sprinkle of seeds or nuts, in addition to eating wholemeal bread, Lenherr said. Adding a side salad, such as leaves and peppers, would up the fiber and also provide more nutrients, she said.<h2>Snack on high-fiber fruits such as kiwis</h2>Mylene snacks on rice crackers with peanut butter in the afternoon. Lenherr recommended brown-rice cakes or oatcakes for more fiber.From a fat-loss perspective, it's worth keeping an eye on portion sizes of energy-dense foods such as peanut butter, Lenherr said."Stick to one tablespoon as a snack, or she could swap this to a high-protein yogurt with berries to provide more protein," Lenherr said.Adding high-fiber fruits such as kiwis to Mylene's diet could also help with <a href="https://www.insider.com/how-to-improve-gut-health-with-food-full-meals-dietitian-2023-3">gut health</a>, Lenherr said.<h2>Herbal teas can help with digestion</h2>For dinner, Mylene eats a chicken breast with mushrooms and green beans, topped with some cheddar cheese.This is a solid high-protein meal, but adding a carb source such as sweet potatoes or brown rice would provide more energy. Lenherr suggested Mylene sip on herbal teas, such as peppermint or ginger, as these could ease digestion.

He emphasized that elevated oil prices are sparking economic instability, and have to be reduced as soon as possible."Clearly we need to bring the prices down so consumers can afford it," Hochstein said. The US fuel market is suffering from supply strains fueled by Western sanctions on Russia and maintenance issues at key regional refining hubs. That's sent US gas prices skyward this year to as high as $5 a gallon three months ago, in line with increases in global oil prices. At last check Monday, the US average for a gallon of gas stands at $3.76, per AAA. Such limited supply has meant oil companies have been able to enjoy super-sized profits, with Biden slamming giants like Exxon Mobil for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-slams-exxon-making-more-money-than-god-gas-prices-2022-6#:~:text=Biden%20blasted%20Exxon%20Mobil%20for,that%20again%20shows%20record%20prices.">"making more money than God."</a> He's even urged gas stations to cut their prices at the pump <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodities/biden-tells-gas-stations-lower-prices-reflect-falling-oil-costs-2022-9">immediately</a> to reflect the decline in oil prices from above $120 a barrel in March."Take those profits that you're making, we're not against profits. What we do want, the president said this last week, take those profits and invest them," Hochstein said. "You want to pay some back to shareholders? Some is fine, but not excessively. You want to take these profits? That's fine too, but not excessively. We're in a war and you can do more to increase production," he continued. Oil prices have been back on the rise again, increasing 5% since the start of October after <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodities/oil-prices-rise-after-opec-says-it-will-cut-production-2022-10">OPEC+ slashed production</a> in a bid to lift falling prices. Brent crude, the global benchmark, fell 0.61% Monday to trade at $93.14 a barrel. In an effort to combat rising prices and ease pressure on US consumers, the Biden administration has been releasing huge amounts of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. But according to Hochstein, this is not a sustainable model. "The United States can't been the one that supplies the market," he said. Instead, oil companies need to invest their profits in US energy production to boost supply over time and help prevent prices surging in the future. "Companies need to do more to invest in America," Hochstein said.
