The University of Melbourne has achieved 19th position globally in the 2026 Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings, announced today.
This result maintains the University's standing as the top ranked institution in Australia across the three major rankings – QS (19), Times Higher Education (39) and the Academic Ranking of World Universities (37).
The QS World University Rankings is one of the most comprehensive ranking of its kind, evaluating thousands of universities from around the world on a range of indicators related to research, employability and outcomes, global engagement and sustainability.
The University achieved an overall score of 90.8 out of 100 in the rankings, marking a 1.9-point improvement, with enhanced performance across seven of the nine rankings indicators.
This included a notable improvement in the Employer Reputation and Employment Outcomes score (98.3), underscoring the University's success in producing highly sought-after and job-ready graduates.
The University's Academic Reputation also increased to 99.7. This significant indicator reflects the high regard held by global academics towards the institution.
The University of Melbourne was also ranked in the top 50 globally across all five broad subject areas in the QS World University Rankings by Subject announced earlier this year.
University of Melbourne Vice-Chancellor Professor Emma Johnston AO said she was immensely proud of the University's status among the world's top 20 institutions.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Emma Johnston said: 'We're proud to remain Australia's highest-ranked university alongside the strong performance of many institutions across the Asia-Pacific, highlighting the vitality of the higher education sector in our region.'
'This acknowledgement reflects the dedication and collaboration of our entire university community, whose work continues to push the boundaries of knowledge and contribute meaningfully to the world around us.'
The University of Melbourne's research and education programs collaborate with partners globally, with a particular focus on Asia and the Pacific.
Recent innovative programs with Indian partners include VirtuCare, a research initiative advancing equitable healthcare and disability-inclusion, and the University's Bachelor of Science dual degree, now offered through Indian institutions Shoolini University and Amity University.
Last year, the University opened its Melbourne Global Centre in New Delhi providing a physical space in India to collaborate with partners in government, industry and education on collaborative research, academic opportunities, and community engagement programs.
The University also recently launched a Dual Degree Program in Applied Positive Psychology with O.P. Jindal Global University and celebrated the opening of the Melbourne-Shoolini Teaching and Learning Hub in Himachal Pradesh.
The University of Melbourne's Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Global, Culture and Engagement), Professor Michael Wesley, said:
'The University of Melbourne is proud to be ranked 19th in the world, as a leading global university that produces highly sought-after, job-ready graduates who become future leaders in their fields all over the world.
I'd like to thank our Indian education partners for their collaboration, partnership, and support, as we address together the most important education and research challenges of our time.'
Australia remains a preferred destination for Indian students pursuing higher education abroad and a popular choice globally. The University of Melbourne welcomes the diverse perspectives and cultural richness that international students bring to its campuses and classrooms, and greatly values their contribution and connection to the University's network of 500,000+ living alumni.

India says it has yet to decide where to analyse crashed plane's recorders

By Hritam Mukherjee (Reuters) -India has yet to decide where the black box recorders from last week's fatal crash of an Air India plane will be analysed, the government said on Thursday. Earlier, Indian newspaper The Economic Times reported that India planned to send the recorders to the U.S. for analysis as the fire that followed the crash had damaged them to an extent it would be impossible to extract data in India. The crash of the Boeing Dreamliner moments after take-off from the western city of Ahmedabad on June 12 killed 241 people on board and at least 30 on the ground in the world's worst aviation disaster in a decade. The government said in a statement that the decision on where the decoding of the recorders would take place would be made after India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has made a "due assessment" of all technical, safety and security considerations. AAIB's Director General GVG Yugandhar told Reuters earlier in an emailed response that the Economic Times report was "factually incorrect", but gave no further details. The government statement did not explicitly rule out the possibility of the flight recorders being sent to the United States. It asked for people not to speculate on what it called sensitive matters and stressed the crash probe was progressing with all necessary support from local authorities and agencies. Planes' black boxes have two components - the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder - and provide crucial insights for crash investigators, including altitude and airspeed data and pilot conversation records that help determine probable causes of crashes. The Economic Times report said recorder data would be extracted at the National Transportation Safety Board's Washington-based laboratory and shared with the AAIB in the presence of Britain's Air Accidents Investigation Branch. The NTSB and UK's AAIB said in separate statements that India's accident investigating body would release more information on the probe.

Sugar Prices Rebound as Pakistan Seeks to Boost Sugar Imports

July NY world sugar #11 (SBN25) today is up +0.18 (+1.13%), and August London ICE white sugar #5 (SWQ25) is down -7.50 (-1.55%). Sugar prices today are mixed. Short covering emerged in sugar futures today after Pakistan's government announced that it plans to import 250,000 metric tons of raw sugar due to a disappointing sugarcane harvest. Dollar weakness (DXY00) today has also prompted some short covering in sugar futures. Sugar Futures Remain Bearish- Can the Sweet Commodity Rally? Drought Conditions Are Setting In. How Much Higher Can Wheat Prices Go? Coffee Prices Sharply Lower as Global Supply Concerns Ease Get exclusive insights with the FREE Barchart Brief newsletter. Subscribe now for quick, incisive midday market analysis you won't find anywhere else. Sugar prices have fallen over the past 3-months and posted 4-year nearest-futures lows on Wednesday due to expectations of a global sugar surplus. On May 22, the USDA, in its biannual report, projected that global 2025/26 sugar production would increase by +4.7% year-over-year (y/y) to a record 189.318 million metric tons (MMT), with a global sugar surplus of 41.188 MMT, up 7.5% year-over-year. The outlook for higher sugar production in India, the world's second-largest producer, is bearish for prices. On June 2, India's National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories projected that India's 2025/26 sugar production would climb +19% y/y to 35 MMT, citing larger planted cane acreage. The outlook for abundant rainfall in India could lead to a bumper sugar crop, which is bearish for prices. On April 15, India's Ministry of Earth Sciences projected an above-normal monsoon this year, with total rainfall forecast to be 105% of the long-term average. India's monsoon season runs from June through September. Signs of larger global sugar output are negative for prices. On May 22, the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) predicted that Brazil's 2025/26 sugar production would rise +2.3% y/y to a record 44.7 MMT. Also, India's 2025/26 sugar production is projected to rise +25% y/y to 35.3 MMT, citing favorable monsoon rains and increased sugar acreage. In addition, Thailand's 2025/26 sugar production is expected to climb +2% y/y to 10.3 MMT. In a bearish factor, the Indian government said on January 20 that it would allow its sugar mills to export 1 MMT of sugar this season, easing the restrictions placed on sugar exports in 2023. India has restricted sugar exports since October 2023 to maintain adequate domestic supplies. India allowed mills to export only 6.1 MMT of sugar during the 2022/23 season to September 30 after allowing exports of a record 11.1 MMT in the previous season. However, the ISMA projects that India's 2024/25 sugar production will fall -17.5% y/y to a 5-year low of 26.2 MMT. Also, the ISMA reported last Monday that India's sugar production from Oct 1-May 15 was 25.74 MMT, down -17% from the same period last year. In addition, Indian Food Secretary Chopra said on May 1 that India's 2024/25 sugar exports may only total 800,000 MT, below earlier expectations of 1 MMT. The outlook for higher sugar production in Thailand is bearish for sugar prices. On May 2, Thailand's Office of the Cane and Sugar Board reported that Thailand's 2024/25 sugar production rose +14% y/y to 10.00 MMT. Thailand is the world's third-largest sugar producer and the second-largest exporter of sugar. Sugar prices have some support from reduced sugar production in Brazil. Unica reported Monday that cumulative 2025/26 Brazil Center-South sugar output through May is down by -11.6% y/y to 6.954 MMT. Last month, Conab, Brazil's government crop forecasting agency, said 2024/25 Brazil sugar production fell -3.4% y/y to 44.118 MMT, citing lower sugarcane yields due to drought and excessive heat. The International Sugar Organization (ISO) raised its 2024/25 global sugar deficit forecast to a 9-year high of -5.47 MMT on May 15, up from a February forecast of -4.88 MMT. This indicates a tightening market following the 2023/24 global sugar surplus of 1.31 MMT. ISO also cut its 2024/25 global sugar production forecast to 174.8 MMT from a February forecast of 175.5 MMT. The USDA, in its bi-annual report released May 22, projected that global 2025/26 sugar production would climb +4.7% y/y to a record 189.318 MMT and that global 2025/26 human sugar consumption would increase +1.4% y/y to a record 177.921 MMT. The USDA also forecasted that 2025/26 global sugar ending stocks would climb +7.5% y/y to 41.188 MMT.

Tesla's $56K India Gamble: Will the Model Y Sell in a Price-Sensitive Market?

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is finally hitting the accelerator in India. After years of back-and-forth, the EV giant is opening its first showroom in Mumbai this July, followed by another in New Delhi. It's starting with the Model Yshipped straight from its Shanghai plantmarking the company's first official sales push into the world's third-largest car market. Internal documents and people familiar with the matter confirm that Tesla has also brought in Supercharger hardware, car accessories, and parts from the US, China, and the Netherlandslaying the groundwork for a broader rollout. This move follows Elon Musk's February meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and could signal the start of a long-term India strategy. But it won't be an easy ride. Each Model Y imported was declared at just under $32,000, but racked up over $25,000 in import duties due to India's 70% tariff on fully-built EVs. Final sticker price? North of $56,000 before tax and insurancenearly 50% more than the U.S. price post-incentives. For a market where EVs still make up just 5% of new car sales and luxury vehicles are under 2%, Tesla will need more than brand power to spark volume. Still, the company is quietly building momentum. It's securing warehouse space in Karnataka and Gurugram, boosting hiring across charging, retail, and policy teams, and sending execs from abroad to oversee showroom setup in luxury districts. The early signs point to a premium positioning play aimed at affluent Indian buyers. Whether that strategy holdsor pivotswill depend on how fast Tesla can shift from imports to local production. For now, it's a high-stakes, high-margin experiment in one of the world's fastest-growing auto markets. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
