11/03/26, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a plan to build an oil refinery in Brownsville, Texas, calling it a massive win for American workers. Trump said that the new refinery would fuel American markets and strengthen national security, along with boosting energy production.

"America is returning to REAL ENERGY DOMINANCE! Today I am proud to announce that America First Refining is opening the FIRST new U.S. Oil Refinery in 50 YEARS in Brownsville, Texas,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social social media platform.

“Thank you to our partners in India, and their largest privately held Energy Company, Reliance, for this tremendous Investment," he added.

A statement from Reliance Industries Ltd is awaited.

In a statement, America First Refining, the company behind the project, said the refinery will be located at the Port of Brownsville, Texas, and will significantly strengthen the country's long-term energy dominance. The company said it expects to break ground in the second quarter of 2026.

Trump added that the new refinery would deliver billions of dollars in economic impact and create thousands of jobs in the region.

"It is because of our America First Agenda, streamlining Permits, and lowering Taxes, that have attracted Billions of Dollars in Deals coming back to our Nation. A new Refinery at the Port of Brownsville will fuel U.S. Markets, strengthen our National Security, boost American Energy production, deliver Billions of Dollars in Economic impact, and will be THE CLEANEST REFINERY IN THE WORLD. It will power Global Exports, and bring THOUSANDS of long overdue Jobs and Growth to a Region that deserves it. This is what AMERICAN ENERGY DOMINANCE looks like. AMERICA FIRST, ALWAYS!", he said.

Trump described the agreement as a historic $300 billion deal -- the biggest in US history -- saying it represents a massive win for American workers, the energy industry, and the people of South Texas.

"This project represents a historic step forward for American energy production," said John V Calce, chairman and founder of America First Refining.

The development comes as the West Asia conflict widens beyond Iran, with Tehran carrying out retaliatory missile and drone attacks targeting US military bases, diplomatic missions, and civilian and energy facilities in Gulf nations such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan.

The fighting has also caused major disruptions to global energy markets, especially around the Strait of Hormuz, a route for roughly one-fifth of the world's oil supply.

On Tuesday, during a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the oil and gas prices would soon come down, potentially even lower than what they were before the start of 'Operation Epic Fury.'

Leavitt told the media, "Rest assured to the American people, recent increase in oil and gas prices is temporary and this operation will result in lower gas prices in the long term. Once the national security objectives of Operation Epic Fury are fully achieved, Americans will see oil and gas prices drop rapidly, potentially even lower than they were prior to the start of the operation. We will live in a world where Iran can no longer threaten the United States or our allies with a nuclear bomb."

11/03/26, US-Israel-Iran War news

Iran has formally shifted to deploying heavy-warhead missiles weighing over one ton, marking a transition from calibrated retaliation to preparations for sustained high-intensity missile campaigns, top intelligence sources told. 

The announcement was made by IRGC Aerospace Commander General Mousavi, who outlined a new war tactic centred on high-impact strikes and saturation attack strategies designed to overwhelm regional air defence systems.

According to top intel sources, Tehran has moved away from mixed-payload missile usage to standardising heavy warheads above one ton, pointing to a preference for maximum destructive capability. The shift indicates that future strikes are intended to cripple hardened military infrastructure, including airbases, bunkers, ports, logistics hubs and command centres, rather than target symbolic or limited tactical objectives.

One-ton-plus warheads significantly increase blast overpressure and possess major penetration capability against reinforced infrastructure, sources said. The wider reach of these systems is aimed at enabling strikes deeper into Israel, US regional assets and other adversaries across West Asia.

Iranian missile platforms such as the Khorramshahr-4 are expected to become central to this force projection strategy. The system offers high payload capacity with medium-range reach, making it suitable for regional power deterrence.

Sources further indicated that increased launch frequency and larger missile waves suggest the adoption of defence-saturation tactics designed to exhaust interceptor inventories. The doctrine directly targets advanced air defence ecosystems, including Israel's Iron Dome, David's Sling and Arrow systems, where interception probability decreases under mass simultaneous launches.

The strategic shift has heightened escalation concerns, with intelligence assessments indicating that Tehran is preparing for sustained, high-intensity barrages rather than isolated exchanges.

The development marks a doctrinal evolution in Iran's missile policy, expanding its strategic reach across West Asia and signalling readiness for a broader regional confrontation.

11/03/26, Financial Express Report on AeroSpace boom

 Global aerospace presents a massive, rapidly growing addressable market, expected to expand from ₹1.2 lakh crore in 2023 to ₹2.2 lakh crore by 2029, as per Azad Engineering.

Global air traffic is also projected to double by 2029, serving as a major tailwind for the sector.

The aerospace industry is expanding for several other reasons. Two companies (Boeing and Airbus) control more than 90% of the market share. Currently, the industry has a backlog of 15,000 aircraft, approximately 84% of which are narrow-body aircraft, such as the Airbus A220, A320, and Boeing 737.

Rising defence spending, with a strong focus on modernization, advanced aircraft, and missile manufacturing, is another tailwind for the industry. As such, here are three hidden gems benefitting from the opportunity.

#1 Raymond: The LEAP engine specialist

Raymond, a part of the Raymond group, is the aerospace business.

The company's aerospace business is housed in JK Maini Global Aerospace (JKMGAL), a subsidiary of Raymond. This company supplies mission-critical parts to global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, such as Airbus and Boeing.

JK Maini Global: Serving the Boeing-Airbus Duopoly

JKMGAL manufactures aircraft components, having developed over 1,200 precision aero-engine parts for more than 25 global clients. It is a preferred partner to the top three global aircraft engine manufacturers, who collectively command an 88% global market share.

This business is a 'low volume, high mix' model and is witnessing tremendous growth. Revenue grew 34% year-on-year to ₹273 crore in 9MFY26. EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) rose 34% to ₹57 crore, with margins at 20.9%.

Aerospace and Defence Segment Financials

 Source: Company

Complex Engine Parts is the segment's biggest revenue generator, accounting for over 75% of total revenue. An excellent example of their capabilities is the manufacturing of nozzle guide vanes and the 6th and 7th stages of the low-pressure turbine for the LEAP 1A engine.

JKMGAL can produce 8,000 units of these per year using Rene 77 material, employing advanced techniques such as vacuum brazing, 5-axis grinding, EDM, and TIG welding. Structural and system components accounted for the remaining 16% and 6% of revenue, respectively.

Its revenue mix is ​​heavily export-oriented, with 60% derived from Europe, followed by the US (21%) and India (17%). To further expand its global footprint beyond traditional Western markets, the company recently participated in the Dubai Airshow 2025 to explore new opportunities with customers in the Middle East.

The LEAP engine specialist: Scaling high-margin complex parts

A major driver of their growth is their participation in the high-volume LEAP engine programs (1A/B/C), for which they supply 300-350 different types of parts. The LEAP engine program comprises multiple high-volume, advanced aircraft engines extensively used by world-renowned aerospace companies such as Airbus and Boeing.

The aerospace industry has high barriers to entry and needs long-term commitment, which provides JKMGAL with strong clarity regarding its operational outlook. Customer agreements typically last 5 to 10 years. Thanks to these long-term contracts and a continuous pipeline of new product approvals, its order book averages around 2.5 to 3 times its current earnings.

When Raymond secures a contract for a new component, the OEM typically allocates 35% of the market share to testing. And customers consistently increase this allocation to 65% when quality is strong, and 100% on-time delivery is achieved. Currently, more than 50% of their components have already surpassed this 65% mark.

Revenue Visibility: Long-Term contracts and the ₹500 crore capex plan

To meet growing demand, the company plans to undertake a substantial capital expenditure of approximately ₹500 crore over the next five years. This amount will be utilized to establish an aerospace manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh, thereby ensuring significant long-term expansion and cost-related benefits.

#2 Sansera Engineering: Transitioning from Auto to Aerospace

Sansera Engineering, a traditional manufacturer of automotive components, is now venturing into the defence sector as well. Defence-related operations constitute a crucial part of its rapidly expanding ADS (Aerospace, Defence, and Semiconductor) vertical.

To capitalize on the impetus India is giving to indigenous defence manufacturing, the company is actively expanding its defence capabilities. Sansera has allocated a dedicated manufacturing facility for this sector. Given the rapidly increasing order volume within the ADS division, management is also actively seeking to acquire land.

The ADS Pivot: Accelerating beyond traditional automotive parts

The company manufactures complex, mission-critical aerospace structural components using its precision engineering expertise. Its key aerospace products include actuation gimbals, door beams, door fittings, bottom panel liners, and actuator housings.

Exclusive Airbus partnership: Powering aeromedical evacuation systems

Sansera's clientele includes world-renowned aircraft OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers. A major achievement for the company is a long-term contract with Airbus Defence and Space, valued at approximately ₹160 crore.

Sansera has been selected to provide manufacturing, supply, and support for the 'Airborne Intensive Care Transport Module.' This is a key system used for aeromedical evacuation in light and medium-category transport aircraft. Notably, Sansera is the only Indian supplier selected by Airbus for this program.

Sansera also supplies a large volume of parts for the first ship set of doors for the A220 aircraft, and production is currently ramping up to align with customer schedules. Management states that aircraft manufacturers are currently booking orders faster than they can deliver them, leading to a heavy reliance on Indian suppliers to secure resources and trained manpower.

A ₹3,800 crore lifetime backlog: Scaling capacity for FY30 targets

The aerospace division is currently experiencing explosive financial growth. ADS revenue surged more than 4X year-on-year in Q3FY26. In 9MFY26, revenue from ADS surpassed ₹215 crore. It is on track to achieve the revenue target of ₹300-320 crore in FY26, and ₹500-600 crore revenue in FY27. By FY30, it expects to execute ₹1,200-1,300 crore annually from the existing backlog.

Shifting Revenue-Mix

 Source: Company

Operational Ramp-Up: The September 2026 facility expansion

The strongest indicator of its strength is its cumulative unexecuted lifetime order backlog, which stood at ₹3,800 crore as of December 2025. The current facility will hit its maximum revenue capacity of ₹600 crore next year. To handle the steep ramp-up, Sansera has planned ₹250 crore in capex over the next few years. A plant is expected to be live by September 2026.

#3 Azad Engineering: The Global Tier-1 Powerhouse

Azad Engineering supplies products, including actuator assemblies and hydraulic system components, which are essential to flight control and landing gear systems. The Aerospace and Defence Segment is the key growth engine for the company, accounting for 18% of total revenue in FY25.

Partnering with Rolls-Royce, Honeywell, and Pratt & Whitney

Azad is an established global Tier-1 supplier to major commercial aircraft manufacturers and engine OEMs. These relationships are based on years of engineering validation, and there exist high barriers to entry. Azad supplies critical components for various aircraft platforms manufactured by Boeing, Airbus SE, and Gulfstream.

About Azad Aerospace Division

 Source: Company

Azad has recently signed a 'Master Terms Agreement' and a 'Purchase Agreement' with Pratt & Whitney for the development and manufacturing of aircraft engine components. Notably, the company's India head has indicated plans to significantly increase component supply from India.

Azad is progressing on contracts for highly engineered critical rotating components. Management emphasized that Azad works with Safran as a global supplier benchmarked against global standards, rather than relying solely on domestic offset policies.

Azad started working with Rolls-Royce in 2024 and signed a long-term agreement to produce components for Civil Aircraft Engines. Initial supplies are expected to commence in FY27. It has also received a phase 1 business award worth US $16 million (about ₹108 crore) to manufacture and supply highly complex components for Honeywell Aerospace.

Defence Modernisation: Import Substitution for UAVs and Anti-Ship Missiles

The company is also developing strategic jet engines for use in defence UAVs, drones, and anti-ship missiles. These engines serve as import substitutes under the Government of India mandate, representing a massive market potential.

Sustaining 30% growth with a ₹6,500 crore order book

Looking ahead, management has reiterated its top-line revenue growth guidance of 30% for FY26, with a long-term EBITDA Margin of 33-35%. This is supported by a massive order book of over ₹6,500 crore and an increasing backlog from OEMs.

Azad Engineering Financials

 Source: Company

From a financial perspective, its revenue in 9MFY26 increased 31.8% year-on-year to ₹433 crore, while its EBITDA margin improved to 36.9%. Net Profit surged by 55.3% year-on-year to ₹97 crore. This growth was driven by the aerospace and defence sector (which grew 31.2%). Exports contributed 92.9% to the total revenue.

The Investor's Dilemma: Growth vs. Valuation

Return ratios, including Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and Return on Equity (ROE), are muted across three companies. Raymond is recently listed post demerger, so return ratios are yet to show their true numbers.

In terms of valuation, Raymond is trading at a discount relative to both its median and industry multiples, whereas Sansera is trading at a premium compared to both. Azad is trading at a significant premium relative to its historical levels and to the industry.

Peer Comparison (X)
Company	EV/EBITDA	3Y Median EV/EBITDA	Industry EV/EBITDA	ROCE (%)	ROE (%)
Raymond	9.5	12.8	12.4*	1.6	7.5
Sansera	22.5	14.4	12.4	13.4	10.5
Azad	85.9	59.2 (2.3Y)	18.5	12.2	8.6

Source: Screener.in (Auto Sector (Not Realty) Number is Taken)

India's aerospace and defence opportunity is expanding rapidly, driven by rising air traffic, aircraft backlogs, and defence modernisation. Raymond, Sansera, and Azad are positioning themselves to benefit through long-term global OEM contracts and expanding order backlogs.

However, despite strong visibility into growth, valuation premiums and muted return ratios remain key considerations for investors. Whether they can continue to lead the aerospace and defence race remains to be seen. Meanwhile, add them to your watchlist and stay tuned.

10/03/26, intraday news

Indian equity benchmarks opened higher on Tuesday, with the Sensex rising more than 480 points and the Nifty climbing above 24,150, tracking a rebound in global equities. The crude oil prices retreated from multi-year highs on hopes that the Middle East conflict may ease. At 09:17 am, the Sensex was up 483 points or 0.6 percent at 78,049, while the Nifty gained 139 points to 24,168. Market breadth was firmly positive, with 1,985 shares advancing against 423 declines.

The gains came after a sharp sell-off in the previous session. On Monday, the Sensex had closed down 1,352.74 points at 77,566.16, while the Nifty fell 422.4 points to 24,028.05, after both indices had plunged more than 3 percent intraday amid the spike in crude oil prices.

Global cues improved overnight after US President Donald Trump indicated that the US-Israel conflict with Iran could be nearing an end, which helped ease fears of prolonged disruption to global energy supplies.

Wall Street staged a late-session rebound on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 239 points, the S&P 500 gained 0.83 percent, and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.38 percent as crude oil prices pulled back from their earlier surge.

Asian markets also traded higher on Tuesday after Monday's sharp sell-off, supported by the decline in crude prices and improving risk sentiment.

Oil prices slipped in early trade after hitting their highest levels in more than three years in the previous session, easing concerns about an inflation shock that had rattled markets globally.

Among Nifty stocks, InterGlobe Aviation surged about 3.4 percent, emerging as the top gainer on the index. Asian Paints rose nearly 2.8 percent, while UltraTech Cement gained around 2.6 percent. Other gainers included Shriram Finance, Larsen & Toubro, Adani Ports, and Tata Steel, which advanced between 1.7 percent and 2.2 percent in early trade.

On the downside, energy stocks faced some pressure as crude prices eased. ONGC declined about 1.3 percent, while Coal India and Cipla also traded slightly lower.

Sectorally, most indices traded in positive territory. The Nifty Consumer Durables index rose about 2 percent, while the Nifty Auto index gained around 1.6 percent and the Nifty Metal index advanced about 1.1 percent. Banking stocks also saw some recovery after Monday's sharp fall. The Nifty Bank index climbed around 1 percent, while the Nifty PSU Bank index rose roughly 1.3 percent.

Market volatility eased as risk sentiment improved, with the India VIX falling over 11 percent to 20.67.

Analysts said the market may attempt a short-term rebound after entering oversold territory following the recent correction. Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, said easing geopolitical tensions and falling crude prices have helped restore some risk appetite, though markets are likely to remain volatile.

“Indian equity markets are expected to open on a mildly positive note as improving global cues and a pullback in crude oil prices support sentiment,” he said, adding that the broader market direction will continue to depend on geopolitical developments, crude oil trends and global risk sentiment.

Technical analysts said the Nifty is currently hovering around the crucial 24,000 zone, with 24,300 acting as immediate resistance, while 23,700-23,600 remains an important support band in the near term.

10/03/26, Stocks to buy for the short term:

The Indian stock market remained under strong pressure for the second consecutive session on Monday, March 9, with the benchmark Sensex crashing 1,353 points, or 1.71%, to end at 77,566, and the NSE counterpart Nifty 50 declining 422 points, or 1.73%, to close at 24,028.

Both indices lost 3% over two consecutive sessions amid escalating US-Iran tensions, rising crude oil prices, the rupee's fall to record lows, and heavy selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs).

Technically, the Nifty 50 is now near 24,000, getting closer to its key support at 23,850. Experts fear a break of this level may push the index to 23,700 or even lower.

As market sentiment is weak, experts recommend maintaining extreme prudence in picking stocks.

Vishnu Kant Upadhyay of Master Capital Services and Hitesh Tailor of Choice Broking recommend the following six stocks to buy for the next 1-2 weeks, highlighting their favourable technical setup. Take a look:

10/03/26, Stock market crash:

 

 The latest market mayhem, propelled by the West Asia crisis, has made equity investors poorer by ₹22.40 lakh crore.

Since the beginning of the conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran, which has rattled stock markets, the S&P BSE SENSEX has crashed 4.6%.

The NSE's NIFTY50 index has also nosedived 4.6% during the period.

The US and Israel launched military strikes on Iran on February 28, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader.

Following the military offensive, Iran has carried out a wave of attacks mainly targeting Israeli and American military bases in several Gulf countries, including the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.

The escalation in geopolitical risks pushed crude oil prices up to around the $120 per barrel mark and drove the Indian rupee to a record low against the US dollar, amplifying concerns around inflation and external balances.

Since February 27, the 30-share BSE SENSEX has tanked 3,721.03 points or 4.57%.

09/03/26, Can earthquakes really be predicted?

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), predicting earthquakes with precise timing is currently impossible.

The USGS states that neither it nor any other scientific institution has successfully predicted a major earthquake. Scientists are only able to estimate the probability of earthquakes occurring in certain regions over long periods, based on historical data and geological studies.

Researchers rely on hazard mapping and statistical models to assess seismic risk, but exact predictions about when and where a major earthquake will occur are not possible with current scientific knowledge.

09/03/26, Shares of Cupid Ltd., the country's leading condom maker, rose nearly 13%, in a subdued session for equities, to hit an intraday high of ₹92.90 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) on Monday, March 9. On the BSE, Cupid shares surged as much as 15%.

09/03/26, PostMarket REPORT

 Indian stock markets traded lower on Monday, March 9, tracking a global sell-off driven by soaring oil prices, escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and a sharp decline in the rupee.

The BSE Sensex, after hitting an intraday low of 76,424.55, ended the session at 77,566.16, down 1352.74 points or 1.71 per cent. The NSE Nifty50 settled at 24,028.05, down 422.40 points or 1.73 per cent. During the day Nifty50 swung between 24,078.15 and 23,697.80. Sensex and Nifty opened in red today. The BSE Sensex started at 77,056.75, while the Nifty 50 opened at 23,868.05.

5 key reasons behind crash

1. The sharp decline in the markets has been largely triggered by a massive surge in crude oil prices following the intensification of the United States-Israel conflict with Iran. Brent crude has jumped more than 25 per cent to around $116 per barrel, while the US benchmark West Texas Intermediate has also surged above $114 per barrel. Oil prices have spiked amid concerns that the conflict could disrupt energy production and key shipping routes across the Middle East. Tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz -- a vital corridor that carries nearly 20 per cent of the world's oil supply -- has largely halted, raising fears of prolonged supply disruptions.
2. India is especially vulnerable to rising oil prices as it imports over 85 per cent of its crude oil needs. Higher crude prices could drive up the cost of petrol, diesel, cooking gas and aviation fuel, increasing expenses for businesses and consumers.
3. The Indian rupee also came under significant pressure, adding to investor concerns. The currency dropped 46 paise to around 92.28 against the US dollar in early trade, nearing its all-time intraday low of 92.35 recorded earlier this month. Forex traders said the rupee weakened amid rising crude oil prices, a stronger US dollar, heavy foreign investor outflows and weak domestic equity markets.
4. Indian markets are also responding to a global risk-off sentiment, with Asian markets plunging on Monday as investors moved toward safer assets amid rising geopolitical uncertainty.
5. Another major factor behind the market decline is selling by foreign institutional investors. According to exchange data, foreign investors sold equities worth Rs 6,030 crore on Friday. Analysts say the surge in oil prices and growing global uncertainty have triggered capital outflows from emerging markets.....
