Display Chips, Desi Dreams | Tata Power’s ₹25,000 Cr Surge | North-East’s ₹2.5 Trillion Pitch

1. Tata Power’s ₹25,000 Cr Surge - 00:38:02 - 01:53:715 Tata Power is charging ahead with a massive ₹25,000 crore capital outlay for FY26, focusing half of it on renewables. CEO Praveer Sinha revealed the company plans to add up to 2.7 GW of capacity, with long-term wind turbine deals in the pipeline. Tata Power is also eyeing two UP discoms—Purvanchal and Dakshinanchal—as they head for privatisation. Meanwhile, its nuclear ambitions hinge on legal reforms expected in the Monsoon Session. The company posted a strong Q4 with net profit up 25% to ₹1,306 crore, riding on strong performance across renewables, generation, and distribution. 2. North-East’s ₹2.5 Trillion Pitch - 01:56:495- 03:13:724 Ahead of the Rising Northeast Summit on May 23–24, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia announced ₹1.12 trillion in confirmed proposals and eyes a ₹2.5 trillion target. Big names like Reliance, Adani, Tata Sons, and ITC are expected to contribute an additional ₹80,000 crore. From textiles to tourism, IT to energy, the region is being positioned as a high-return, high-growth destination. The summit will feature 11 ministerial sessions at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. French firms are also warming up to the region, with dairy, aviation, and agri-tech sectors in focus. 3. Gensol’s Clean Energy Crisis - 03:16:504 - 04:41:656 Gensol Engineering is in deep trouble. Ireda has filed an insolvency plea for a ₹510 crore loan default, just weeks after accusing the company of forging documents and misusing funds. Sebi has already barred the promoters—Anmol and Puneet Singh Jaggi—from the markets and corporate roles. Gensol raised over ₹800 crore to buy EVs for its BluSmart business but used only ₹567 crore, with ₹260 crore unaccounted for. The case, now under EOW and forensic audit, is a cautionary tale in India’s clean energy push. 4. #BoycottTurkey Takes Off - 04:44:518 - 05:59:635 Social media outrage over Turkey’s ties with Pakistan—especially reports of drone support—has sparked #BoycottTurkey trends. Platforms like Cox & Kings and Ixigo have paused bookings to the country. IndiGo and Air India’s partnerships with Turkish Airlines came under fire, but insiders say there’s no major commercial hit—yet. With Turkish Technic servicing both airlines and Celebi handling ground ops at key airports, complete decoupling looks unlikely. As with Maldives and China, boycotts only stick when commerce takes a hit—and so far, it hasn’t. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
