international arm, has closed the acquisition of an 11.7% stake in the first phase of NextDecade\u2019s USD 18 bn Rio Grande LNG export facility in Texas for an undisclosed sum, according to a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.xrg.com\/en\/news\/XRG-Continues-International-Investment-Momentum-With-Completion-Of-Rio-Grande-LNG-Deal\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> released

XRG\u2019s stake in the first phase includes the first three liquefaction trains in the USD 18 bn facility, which are currently under construction. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Other phases are on the way:<\/strong> NexDecade retained its share in the first phase alongside its shares in the fourth and fifth proposed trains, with Adnoc having the option to buy into these. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">Once all trains are developed, Rio Grande LNG\u2019s potential liquefaction capacity could reach up to 48 mn tonnes per annum (mtpa), the statement said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>NextDecade also reached a final investment decision on the fourth liquefaction train earlier this month<\/strong>, activating Adnoc\u2019s 20-year offtake agreement for 1.9 mtpa from the additional train. The contract, priced against the Henry Hub benchmark on a free-on-board basis, had been contingent on the project moving ahead. <\/p>\n<p

style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>. The four-pronged package aims to expand domestic capacity, streamline long-term financing, support greenfield and brownfield shipyard growth, as well as form a robust maritime infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s in the cards?<\/strong> The development scheme looks to enhance domestic shipbuilding capacity to 4.5 mn tons or over 2.5k vessels annually. Under the bundle, three major funding schemes have been initiated: a INR 24.7k cr shipbuilding financial assistance scheme, INR 20k cr maritime development fund, and a INR 20k cr shipbuilding development scheme. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>India wants to become one of the top-five shipbuilding nations by 2047<\/strong>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spglobal.com\/en\/research-insights\/special-reports\/india-forward\/shifting-horizons\/shipbuilding-will-india-seize-global-opportunity\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">S&P Global<\/a> reported.

China saw its share of the global shipbuilding market shoot up from between 7-10% in 2005 to snatch up over half of the global market. The nation did this by investing substantial funding into its shipbuilding industry \u2014 through subsidies and financial incentives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<hr style=\"height:2px;border-width:0;color:gray;background-color:gray\">\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>US tariffs on pharma incoming next month: <\/strong>The US President Donald Trump announced that the US will impose a 100% tariff on branded and patented pharma products as of October, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/dd6d5fd0-0faa-4a55-84ce-58c4d00d531c\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Financial Times<\/a> reported last week.
