INDIA NEWS | Thu, 22 Jan 2026, 12:54AM IST Davos: India has outpaced China as Carlsberg Group's most important growth engine, prompting the Danish brewer to accelerate investments, add capacity and push deeper into premium beers in one of the world's most complex markets."India is really a key market for us... it's now our key growth market. It's also a bigger growth market than China," Jacob Aarup-Andersen, Carlsberg's global chief executive, said in an interview with ET on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos. While China remains larger in absolute size, India "clearly holds the key position" for Carlsberg's future growth, he said.Carlsberg plans to invest 1,250 crore ($150 million) over the next couple of years, with "thousands of crores" more likely over the medium term as it seeks to scale profitably. At Davos, the brewer announced a 500 crore investment to set up a new brewery in Maharashtra, part of the broader capital plan in the country."We are doing a lot of investments to enforce our position and take market leadership," Aarup-Andersen said, adding that it is spending on new capacity, technology and AI, as well as hiring more talent.The renewed push follows Carlsberg's move to take full control of its India business about a year and a half ago, ending a long-running commercial conflict with its former local partner. "It's worked very well," he said.Over the past two years, Carlsberg has grown faster than before, delivering what he described as "high and profitable growth". "If you look at the last 10 years, Carlsberg in India has grown 10% on average and the market has grown 5%," Aarup-Andersen said, adding that while final numbers are still awaited, the company last year again "clearly outperformed the market".India-a warm, tropical country with promising demographics and increasing affluence-remains one of the largest beer markets worldwide. UB currently controls half of the Indian beer market followed by AbIBbev and Carlsberg.

INDIA NEWS | Thu, 22 Jan 2026, 12:03AM IST New Delhi: Indian refiners are moving quickly to plug the gap in supply of US sanctions-hit Russian crude, lifting their first cargo from Guyana in two years, and ramping up imports from Saudi Arabia by about a third in January as they seek to meet strong energy demand at home.In the first half of the month, refiners procured about 297,000 barrels per day (bpd) from Guyana, according to Kpler, a global real-time data and analytics provider.Guyana is rapidly emerging as a new global oil producer backed by major discoveries and fast-rising output. The South American nation has however remained outside India's preferred sourcing basket due to the long shipping distance.With Russian supplies declining, Indian refiners are now increasingly tapping Guyana as an alternative.127034690Imports from Saudi Arabia and Iraq in West Asia, and from Nigeria and Angola in Africa, have also risen this month amid strong oil demand in India, the world's third-largest oil consumer and importer.Russia remains India's top supplier, with volumes of about 1.179 million bpd in the first half of January, though declining about 3% sequentially, and about 30% below the 2025 average. Supplies from Iraq, the second-largest supplier, rose 18% month-on-month to about 1.071 million bpd, while imports from Saudi Arabia jumped 36% to around 954,000 bpd, Kpler data showed.Supplies from Nigeria nearly doubled sequentially to about 305,000 bpd, while imports from Angola almost tripled to around 195,000 bpd.Imports from the UAE fell 40% to about 352,000 bpd, while shipments from the US were largely flat at around 349,000 bpd in the first half of January.A clearer picture on India's crude sourcing shifts is likely to emerge by the month-end, but early data suggests refiners are tapping new or previously marginal sources to meet incremental demand as Russian supplies shrink and uncertainty rises amid mounting US pressure. Indian Oil, Nayara Energy, and Bharat Petroleum were the only refiners to receive Russian cargoes in the first half of January. Reliance Industries, India's largest importer of Russian crude over the past year, didn't lift any Russian cargo in the period. Hindustan Petroleum, HPCL-Mittal Energy, and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals also did not take Russian supplies.

INDIA NEWS | Wed, 21 Jan 2026, 11:13PM IST New Delhi: India is likely to clock real gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 6.5-7% in the coming fiscal, supported by the continuing growth momentum, though policymakers should remain mindful of the looming geopolitical risks and weak global demand, according to an ET-PwC survey.As per the survey, 78% of respondents expect India's growth to remain in the 6.5-7% band in FY27, reflecting optimism arising out of the current growth momentum, which the majority of CXOs described as strong to stable, while 21% expect it to be between 6% and 6.5%, and only 1% of the respondents foresee it in the 7-7.5% range.Official advance estimates project India's economy to grow 7.4% in FY26 compared with 6.5% in the last fiscal.127027656 More than half the corporate leaders saw geopolitical shocks as the biggest downside risk to FY27 growth outlook, followed by weak global demand, and almost a fifth pointed to trade uncertainties, according to the CXO study."CXOs are signalling strong momentum and expect around 7% real GDP growth next year. This optimism is reinforced by the India cut of PwC's 29th Annual Global CEO Survey, where 77% of India CEOs surveyed anticipate stronger domestic economic growth. Together, this presents a pivotal opportunity for the budget to deepen India's growth engines," said Sanjeev Krishan, chairperson, PwC in India.More than 200 senior corporate leaders were surveyed across health and pharma, technology, manufacturing, infrastructure, consumer goods & retail, and finance sectors. Around 60% of those surveyed described India's current growth momentum as "strong and broad-based" and 38% terming it "highly robust across the economy".Among industries, half of the respondents in consumer goods and retail, and 58% in healthcare & pharma found growth to be highly robust. However, 3% of the manufacturing industry interviewees and 2% of companies with revenue of Rs 10,000 crore and above found India's growth momentum to be "slowing visibly".Investment, demand visibilityCapital expenditure on infrastructure emerged as the single-most important budget lever, with half of the respondents favouring it. Almost a quarter of the respondents wanted the government to continue incentives for the manufacturing sector, while a similar proportion of CXOs pitched for a consumer stimulus in the budget."Prioritising infrastructure capex- our most dependable driver of demand, competitiveness and jobs - will be critical. At the same time, easing investment flows through faster dispute resolution and a more predictable policy environment can help unlock long-term capital," Krishan said, and added that strengthening manufacturing as a force multiplier by reducing cost pressures on MSMEs and improving logistics is essential.Nine out of 10 respondents cited either weak demand visibility or high borrowing costs as chief reasons for holding back private investment, with nearly three-fifths saying the cure lay in granting tax incentives."Equally, investing in AI, domestic compute capacity, and large-scale skilling will expand productivity and ensure technology becomes an enabler for inclusive, broad-based growth," he added.Weak demand visibility was the top reason holding back domestic private investment for 91% of those surveyed in the manufacturing sector, with high borrowing costs and regulatory and tax uncertainties being the other causes.Almost half the corporates forecast strong and broad-based consumer demand in FY26, with infrastructure being the most optimistic, while less than 5% of the BFSI, consumer, and infra respondents expect flat consumer demand.Fiscal consolidation, inflationThree-quarters of CXOs interviewed said there was strong-to-significant headroom for the government to achieve further fiscal consolidation. But a high proportion of infrastructure and BFSI CXOs saw "very little" headroom, according to a sectoral breakup of the study. More than half the respondents hoped the fiscal deficit will be bridged by higher tax buoyancy but the majority of infrastructure sector officials said cutting non-essential spending was the most effective tool to deal with fiscal deficit.Higher tax buoyancy has emerged as the top lever for fiscal deficit reduction, followed by subsidy rationalisation.The inflation outlook is mixed as 36% of the respondents expect it to rise, and 28% have a moderate position with concerns around food inflation. India's retail inflation was 1.33% in December-well within the RBI's 2-6% target band- while food inflation was -2.71%.
