ASBL closes Rs 1,000-cr sales in Broadway project in Hyd
Hyderabad Prominent builder in Hyderabad's real estate sector ASBL has launched the much-anticipated Broadway, a premium residential gated community and closed Rs 1000 crore sales during pre-launch and launch day recently. The project, spread over five acres in the Financial District's prime area, has recently garnered the coveted Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) approval.
Inspired by Manhattan, a borough of New York City, the project will feature three towers with G+50 floors, 885 luxurious 3 BHK flats ranging from 2035 to 2650 sq. ft., and will be handed over by December 2029.
Founder & CEO of ASBL Ajitesh Korupolu said that the project offers a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, featuring expansive balconies framed by three-sided glass railings, which provide uninterrupted views of the city and create the perfect space to relax and unwind. This outdoor living concept offers a rare urban space that blends indoor comfort with outdoor freedom.
The project is designed by keeping various sensibilities of Indian families in mind and will provide futuristic homes for several generations to come, he added.
Despite the slight overall real estate market slowdown in India in recent times, he said that Hyderabad has been contributing significantly to India's total residential sales, highlighting its significance in the real estate sector. With its advanced infrastructure and a range of ongoing and upcoming residential projects, West Hyderabad continues to remain as one of the most lucrative areas for investment, not just within the state, but the entire country as well, Ajitesh explained.
With ASBL Broadway, we aim to unlock the potential of the city even further, especially that of West Hyderabad, as it is a location with excellent infrastructure and connectivity with leading hospitals, schools, and major business hubs, making it an ideal choice for homebuyers. In short, Broadway is a community designed specifically for those who seek limitless living, comfort, and luxury, he said.

SECI floats green ammonia tender to decarbonise fertiliser production
The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has invited bids for the supply of 724,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually to 13 fertiliser plants in a move aimed at decarbonising India's heavily polluting fertiliser sector. Issued under the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) scheme, the tender marks a major push towards integrating green hydrogen into industrial use. A Central Public Sector Enterprise with Navratna status under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), SECI will aggregate demand and enter into agreements with selected producers for 10 years, MNRE said in a statement. The final date for submitting bids is June 26, 2025. The initiative targets ammonia, an essential component in urea and other nitrogen-based fertilisers, which is currently produced using fossil fuels, leading to high greenhouse gas emissions. SECI's tender will leverage renewable energy to produce green hydrogen and ammonia, promoting low-emission and domestic fertiliser production. To support the shift, the government is offering financial incentives under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, with production-linked incentives of Rs 8.82/kg, Rs 7.06/kg, and Rs 5.30/kg for the first three years, respectively, amounting to total support of Rs 1,533.4 crore. A payment security mechanism has also been put in place to mitigate the risks of payment delays from fertiliser companies. This will assure suppliers of steady cash flows. India consumes approximately 17–19 million tonnes of ammonia annually. The fertiliser industry consumes over half of the country's hydrogen demand, much of which is derived from imported natural gas. SECI's initiative is expected to cut this dependence, reduce exposure to global gas price fluctuations, and lower the trade deficit. Domestic green ammonia production is expected to enhance resilience during geopolitical disruptions and generate new employment opportunities, said the statement. SECI's green ammonia tender addresses the 'chicken-and-egg' challenge facing the hydrogen economy by simultaneously stimulating demand and supply. This initiative is a step towards India's goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2070.

Rupee slips 16 paise as West Asia tensions flare up; ends at 86.74/$
The Indian rupee fell after a day of advance as the US strikes at nuclear sites in Iran triggered a risk-off sentiment among investors. The domestic currency depreciated 16 paise to end at 86.74 against the dollar, after closing at 86.59 on Friday, according to Bloomberg. The currency has fallen 1.32 per cent so far this month. Rupee traded weak as the dollar index appreciated toward the 99 mark, indicating broader currency market imbalances, according to Jateen Trivedi, VP research analyst - commodity and currency at LKP Securities. Geopolitical tensions escalated after the US conducted airstrikes on three nuclear-related sites in Iran, raising volatility across global markets, he said. Iran's Parliament has reportedly approved the closure of the Strait of Hormuz after the US struck three nuclear sites over the weekend. US President Donald Trump declared the three facilities 'totally obliterated,' and warned of greater attacks unless Iran makes peace with Israel. Crude oil prices pared gains after it rose as much as 5.7 per cent during the session. Brent crude price was up 0.25 per cent at $77.20 per barrel, while WTI crude prices were higher by 0.28 per cent at 74.05, as of 3:30 PM IST. Despite India's reliance on Iranian oil, it has diversified its sourcing from Russia and the US, reducing its dependence on the Gulf, according to Anil Kumar Bhansali, head of treasury and executive director at Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP. "However, higher oil prices could impact the current account, potentially weakening the rupee slightly. " The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is likely to intervene to maintain market stability, and its forex reserves have reached $698 billion, nearing the all-time high of $705 billion, providing an ample buffer, Bhansali said. Meanwhile, after depreciating 1.29 per cent against the dollar this financial year, the rupee is expected to weaken more because of West Asian military conflicts, with the expectation that prices of crude oil will rise. According to a Business Standard poll, the majority of the respondents expect the rupee to depreciate to 87 a dollar by the end of July.

Hormuz blockade may shrink Russian crude discounts for Indian refiners
Indian refiners may end up paying higher prices for Russian oil delivered in August due to escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz—a key transit route for around 40 per cent of India's crude imports and more than half of its LNG supplies—industry sources said. The threat of an Iranian blockade has added pressure to shipping costs and tightened the global supply of Middle Eastern oil, prompting refiners to brace for reduced discounts on Russian crude. August negotiations underway Indian refiners began negotiations this week with Russian suppliers for August-loading crude, typically done 45 days ahead of delivery, a trader at a state-owned refiner said. While volumes may remain stable or decline, demand from countries like Turkey is intensifying. Over 70 per cent of India's Russian oil consists of the medium, sour Urals grade—also preferred by Turkish refiners, particularly amid disrupted Middle East flows. Discounts fall as freight and demand rise Russian oil discounts may fall to their lowest levels in months due to higher shipping costs and increased competition, two refinery traders told Business Standard. Russia currently supplies four out of every ten barrels of oil imported by India. 'We may have to pay more for Russian oil because the discounts on the grades may shrink,' said a senior trader at a state-run oil company. Discounts could narrow by 20–40 cents per barrel, potentially falling below $2 per barrel, refining sources said. For context, discounts stood at $10–$15 per barrel in 2023 and $5–$8 earlier this year. Tighter margins could impact the gross refining margins of Indian refiners, they added. Reliance, PSUs face squeeze on discounts At present, Indian state-run refiners secure discounts of about $2.50 per barrel on Russian crude, priced against the European Dated Brent benchmark on a delivered basis. Reliance Industries, the country's top Russian oil importer, obtains a higher $3-per-barrel discount under a 500,000 barrels-per-day term deal signed with Rosneft in December. Most Russian supplies to India, however, are purchased on the spot market. Espo demand from China may rise India may also face stiffer competition from China for the East Siberia–Pacific Ocean (Espo) grade in August, particularly as Chinese refiners lose access to Iranian crude due to ongoing conflict, an Indian refining executive said. China does not typically purchase Urals but prefers Espo, a lighter crude. India's purchases of Espo have increased this year amid China's declining demand. But with Iranian supply constraints, China's dependence on Espo may rise again. This month, Espo was India's second-largest imported Russian grade, at 162,000 barrels per day, according to ship-tracking data. Russia remains top supplier Russian crude made up a record 45 per cent of India's total crude imports during the first 23 days of June, exceeding 2.2 million barrels per day, according to Paris-based intelligence firm Kpler. Urals inflows reached an all-time high of 1.6 million bpd. Reliance Industries accounted for 722,000 bpd—roughly a third of total Russian imports. State-run refiners, led by Indian Oil Corporation and Bharat Petroleum Corporation, together imported about 52 per cent. The remainder comprised lighter grades such as CPC Russia, Espo, and Arco.
