Reliance Infra share price jumps 5% on deal with Rafale jet maker Dassault Aviation, promoter stake raise
Reliance Infra share price surged as much as 5 per cent in Thursday's trading session to ₹ 404 apiece on the NSE after the company announced a strategic partnership with French aerospace major Dassault Aviation, and promoter Risee Infinity Private Limited acquired an additional stake in the company.
Anil Ambani-led company shares opened at ₹ 309.50, as compared to the previous close of ₹ 386.50. Reliance Infra stock has given significant gains to its investors by soaring over 44 per cent in a month and nearly 37 per cent in six months despite a volatile Indian stock market.
In an exchange filing dated June 18, the company announced that its promoters have acquired an additional 12,500,000 equity shares, which is a 2.55 per cent stake in the Anil Ambani-led company by way of conversion of warrants.
Risee Infinity Private Limited, Reliance Project Ventures and Management Private Limited, Shri Anil D Ambani, Reliance Innoventures Private Limited, Smt. Tina A Ambani, Shri Jai Anmol A Ambani, Shri Jai Anshul A Ambani and Smt. Kokila D Ambani, were the acquirers or persons acting in concert (PAC).
Reliance Infra's subsidiary company Reliance Aerostructure, will partner with Dassault to produce Falcon 2000 business jets domestically in India.
This is the first instance where Dassault will assemble its Falcon aircraft outside of France. With this milestone, India becomes one of the few countries—alongside the US, France, Canada, and Brazil—that produce business jets for international markets.
The first Falcon 2000 aircraft manufactured in India is anticipated to be ready by 2028, designed to meet both corporate and military requirements.
Unveiled at the Paris Air Show, the agreement entails establishing a final assembly line at Dassault Reliance Aerospace Limited (DRAL) in Nagpur, Maharashtra. This facility will act as a global centre of excellence for the Falcon series and is also expected to support future assembly projects for the Falcon 6X and 8X models.

Florian Wirtz joins list of most expensive soccer signings in history
Florian Wirtz became one of the most expensive players in soccer history when the Germany playmaker joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen on Friday for a fee of up to 116 million pounds ($156 million). Neymar: $262 million (222 million euros) Paris Saint-Germain shattered the world-record transfer fee by signing the Brazil superstar from Barcelona in August 2017. It was more than double the outlay of Manchester United to sign Paul Pogba from Juventus for $116 million a year earlier. It remains the record transfer fee. Kylian Mbappé: $216 million (180 million euros) A few weeks after buying Neymar, PSG also secured a loan deal for Mbappé — then the rising star of French soccer playing for Monaco — that included the option to make the move permanent in 2018. PSG did so, making it an outlay of nearly $500 million on two players. Philippe Coutinho: $192 million (160 million euros) Flush with cash after selling Neymar a year earlier, Barcelona spent most of it in a deal to buy Brazil playmaker Coutinho from Liverpool for a Spanish record fee. Moises Caicedo: $146 million (115 million pounds) The Ecuador midfielder's move was previously the most expensive deal by a British club, with Chelsea buying him from Brighton in August 2023. João Félix: $140 million (126 million euros) Atletico Madrid triggered a buyout clause in Félix's contract to sign the Portugal forward from Benfica in August 2019. Jude Bellingham: $139 million (128.5 million euros) The England star got his big move to Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund in June 2023, for an initial up-front fee of 103 million euros plus add-ons linked to performance. Antoine Griezmann: $134 million (120 million euros) Atletico could afford to sign Félix after selling France forward Griezmann to Barcelona for a similar fee a few weeks earlier. Neymar: $98 million (90 million euros) Outside from Europe, the biggest transfer deal also involved Neymar when he joined Al Hilal, a team in the Saudi Pro League, from Paris Saint-Germain in August 2023. That came at the height of Saudi Arabia's push to sign high-end soccer talent to ignite the oil-rich state's domestic league.

Elon Musk faces pushback as Texas lawmakers urge delay of Tesla robotaxi launch
Elon Musk 's ambitious plans to launch Tesla 's robotaxi service in Austin this month have hit political resistance. A group of Democratic lawmakers from the Austin area has formally requested the company to delay the rollout until September, when new autonomous vehicle regulations are set to take effect in Texas. The lawmakers argue that waiting for the legislation to kick in would better serve public safety and help build trust in Tesla's self-driving technology . While Musk hinted at a tentative launch this Sunday, the lack of details has raised concerns about oversight and preparedness. Lawmakers cite safety and public trust concerns In a letter sent to Tesla on Wednesday, the group of Austin-based Democratic lawmakers urged the company to hold off until the new autonomous vehicle law comes into effect. They warned that an early launch could undermine public trust and compromise safety, especially without clear protocols in place. They asked Tesla to provide a detailed explanation of how it intends to comply with the upcoming legislation if it proceeds with the rollout as planned. What the new Texas law entails Currently, Texas allows autonomous vehicles to operate statewide, provided they meet basic registration and insurance requirements. The new law passed by the legislature which is expected to take effect in September, will require companies like Tesla to seek formal authorisation before launching driverless services . The law also grants state authorities the power to revoke permits if the vehicles are deemed a public danger, and mandates companies to provide emergency guidance for police and first responders. Tesla's quiet approach about the launch Tesla and Musk have so far offered limited details about the Austin robotaxi launch. Musk said it would begin with 10 to 20 Model Y vehicles operating in 'the safest' parts of the city, but has not revealed who the initial riders would be, how the service would be priced, or how remote monitoring would be handled. This opacity has added to the lawmakers' concerns and fuelled debate over whether the rollout is premature. High stakes for Tesla's future Musk has placed the future of Tesla heavily on its autonomous driving technologies, shifting focus from traditional EV sales to robotaxis and humanoid robots. Investors and analysts view the upcoming robotaxi rollout in Austin as a crucial step. The pushback from lawmakers, however, highlights the regulatory hurdles that could slow Tesla's momentum in a space already fraught with scrutiny. Will Tesla comply or proceed? It remains uncertain how Tesla will respond. While the lawmakers' letter carries political weight in Austin, Texas is a Republican-led state, and the new law has yet to be signed by the governor. Whether Tesla proceeds with the launch or chooses to delay voluntarily could shape both its public image and regulatory relationships moving forward.

French President Macron throws 'Starlink challenge' at Europe; comes after Donald Trump said US no longer willing to be main guarantor of Europe's security
(Darryl Dyck/The Canadian Press via AP) French President Emmanuel Macron endorsed plans for a European satellite manufacturing powerhouse and urged faster deployment of Starlink-like satellites, declaring space he new theatre for world power and key arena for global power competition. According to a report by Reuters, speaking at the Paris Airshow, after France moved to take control of Eutelsat , a Starlink rival, Macron outlined a strategy to challenge U.S. billionaire Elon Musk's expansive rocket-to-telecoms empire, emphasizing a robust push across launchers, manufacturing, and services. "At the intersection of all these public and private questions, as well as civil, military, scientific and industrial ones, space has in some way become a gauge of international power," Macron told delegates, according to Reuters. The Airshow, set against the backdrop of Israel-Iran tensions, focused on geopolitical and trade issues rather than typical jetliner orders, with space taking center stage on Friday, Reuters noted. Europe, a leader in Earth observation, has lagged behind the U.S. and China in the strategic space domain, losing independent orbital access for over a year in 2023 due to technical issues, delays, and severed Russian ties over Ukraine, which ended Soyuz rocket use.

IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Despite being the world's top satellite exporter, Europe's key manufacturers—Airbus and a Thales-Leonardo partnership—face profitability challenges and aim to consolidate, Reuters said. Macron voiced strong support: "They have our full support and confidence. I want us to build this new champion as soon as possible." He added, "This is what will allow us, as Europeans, to have the scale to improve competitiveness and volume. It's a sector consolidation." Driven by competition from Musk's cost-effective Starlink satellites and a shift from high-orbit bespoke satellites, Airbus, Thales, and Leonardo are exploring a joint venture, codenamed Project Bromo, though past consolidation attempts were blocked by competition concerns, Reuters reported. Russia-Ukraine conflict showed importance of Space tech The strategic importance of satellite services, underscored by Ukraine's conflict, prompted France to invest $1.55 billion in Eutelsat, boosting its shares, Reuters noted. However, European space budgets pale compared to U.S. and Chinese spending, with the U.S. holding nearly two-thirds of the global space budget in 2023, while Europe accounted for just 11%, per the European Space Agency. Macron's space ambitions face fiscal constraints as France grapples with public finance control after last year's spending surge, Reuters said. Jean-Pierre Darnis, an associate fellow at the Foundation for Strategic Research, told Reuters, "Partnership between public and private capital will be needed and this requires a considerable effort." The Airshow also reflected Europe's push for sovereignty amid doubts about U.S. security commitments, with Vago Muradian, founder of the Defense & Aerospace Report, quoted by Reuters saying, "The big story of this show is sovereignty in the wake of some of the statements by (Trump) questioning U.S. commitment to Europe and to NATO." Europe's defense spending is rising, and some suppliers are offering "ITAR-free" products to bypass U.S. export controls, a senior European industry official told Reuters. Meanwhile, the commercial side of the show was subdued after an Air India Boeing 787 crash, with Boeing avoiding announcements while Airbus and Embraer secured deals earlier, Reuters reported.
