This vertical integration has allowed the company to pivot and divert cargoes with a speed that state-run competitors simply cannot match, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindubusinessline.com\/companies\/shell-steps-up-lng-supplies-to-india-wins-major-fertiliser-tenders-after-gulf-disruptions\/article70853542.ece\" style=\"\">Hindu Businessline<\/a> reports. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Shell\u2019s supplies are proving to be critical in easing domestic shortages through this month.<\/strong> Gas supply to urea plants increased to 95% of the required amount from about 70% last week.

India\u2019s largest refiner, Reliance Industries, had requested a special waiver from the ministry as Iranian shadow vessels lack international ins. and safety certifications.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Pragmatism over protocol: <\/strong>All four vessels are under US sanctions and over 20 years old. India typically <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/mena-india\/2026\/04\/10\/india-resumes-iranian-oil-imports-after-seven-years-amid-energy-crunch\/\" style=\"\">bars aging ships that lack seaworthiness certifications<\/a> from docking at its ports, making this a one-time exemption tied to the current supply crunch. It remains unclear if Reliance will process the cargoes at its refinery, given the sanctions risks, the newswire added. This comes on the back of a temporary US waiver allowing purchases of Iranian oil at sea, which is due to expire on 19 April.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why it matters: <\/strong>The waivers suggest that Indian authorities are prioritizing energy security over strict adherence to international maritime policy or alignment with Washington. This flexibility is notable as it marks the first time since 2019 that Reliance \u2014 which usually avoids supplies from sanctioned sources \u2014 has moved to feedstock Iranian crude into its operations. Both Reliance and the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-04-13\/ships-with-iran-oil-anchor-off-india-as-trump-announces-blockade?srnd=phx-india-v2\" style=\"\">Indian Oil Corporation<\/a> are now working quickly to offload mns of barrels before the temporary waiver window closes. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">First Iranian crude cargoes in years <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>MEANWHILE-<\/strong> <strong>Two US-sanctioned supertankers carrying Iranian crude have anchored off Indian ports<\/strong>, even as the US readies to tighten enforcement in the Strait of Hormuz, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-04-13\/ships-with-iran-oil-anchor-off-india-as-trump-announces-blockade?srnd=phx-india-v2\" style=\"\">Bloomberg<\/a> reports. The VLCC Felicity, linked to Iran\u2019s state tanker fleet, is anchored off Sikka with some 2 mn barrels loaded from Kharg Island. Another shadow fleet vessel with unclear ownership, Jaya, is near Paradip Port on India\u2019s east coast. End-buyers remain unconfirmed, although Indian Oil, Reliance, and Bharat Petroleum use these ports to receive crude shipments. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Higher export duties on diesel + ATF<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>India\u2019s finance ministry has raised export duties on diesel by 158% and aviation turbine fuel by 42%<\/strong> as it moves to prioritize domestic availability amid disrupted global energy supplies, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/india\/india-raises-export-duties-diesel-aviation-turbine-fuel-2026-04-11\/\" style=\"\">Reuters<\/a> reports. The changes take effect immediately.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The duty hike builds on measures introduced last month<\/strong>, when the government first imposed windfall taxes on fuel exports and cut excise duty on petrol and diesel. In parallel, it capped monthly domestic jet fuel price increases at 25% in April to limit the pass-through of higher fuel costs to airfares. Jet fuel accounts for up to 40% of airline operating expenses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Shift in gas consumption <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>India<\/strong><strong> is upping the supply of smaller liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders and accelerating piped natural gas (PNG) connections <\/strong>amid a supply crunch, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ptinews.com\/story\/business\/india-boosts-5-kg-lpg-supply-accelerates-png-rollout-amid-west-asia-disruption\/3557402\" style=\"\">PTI<\/a> reports.

style=\"\">10-15k specialists<\/a>, while 76% of hospitals in the UAE report similar deficits. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/endimension.com\/\" style=\"\">Endimension<\/a>, an IIT Mumbai-incubated healthcare AI startup, is stepping up to bridge this gap.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cOur mission is to help healthcare providers solve the problem of radiologist shortage using AI augmentation<\/strong>,\u201d Bharadwaj Kss, co-founder of Endimension, tells EnterpriseAM. \u201cThe vision is to create what we call a 10x radiologist. AI makes a radiologist 10 times more efficient and productive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Endimension provides an <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/indiaai.gov.in\/startup\/endimension\" style=\"\">end-to-end AI platform<\/a><\/strong><strong> that seamlessly integrates with X-ray, CT, and MRI scanners.<\/strong> As soon as a scan is taken, the software processes it and generates preliminary insights within minutes. In complex scans involving thousands of image slices, the AI acts as a vital safety net, spotting tiny abnormalities that a fatigued human eye might miss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cWhile other companies are providing AI algorithms, we are providing an end-to-end full-stack platform<\/strong>,\u201d Bharadwaj explains. \u201cIt is not just providing some algorithm insights, but it is actually helping in the day-to-day workflow [\u2026] triaging critical patients, generating draft reports, and ultimately improving operational efficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Their business model is tailored for accessibility, particularly for small and medium-sized facilities.<\/strong> Operating as a SaaS platform, Endimension offers a \u201cpay-per-scan\u201d model that eliminates prohibitive upfront costs. \u201cWe are providing access to the entire system [at no] cost. The end users are charged only if they use the platform to analyze a scan,\u201d Co-founder Venkata Apparao Madiraju tells us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Endimension currently serves over 800 hospitals and diagnostic centers, processing some 2 mn patient scans every year.<\/strong> Now, the startup is looking beyond India\u2019s borders, leveraging the India-UAE CEPA Council\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/mena-india\/2025\/12\/01\/five-indian-startups-selected-for-uae-backed-soft-landing-package\/\" style=\"\">Startup Series<\/a> to propel its global expansion. \u201cFor a small startup, it\u2019s very difficult to go into a new geography, especially in healthcare, because there are a lot of regulations,\u201d Bharadwaj states. The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cepacouncil.com\/\" style=\"\">council<\/a> facilitated introductions into the local market and connected Endimension with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hub71.com\/\" style=\"\">Hub71<\/a>, Abu Dhabi\u2019s Mubadala-backed tech ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Hub71 provided a helping hand:<\/strong> Currently participating in Hub71\u2019s Access program, the company is engaging with local hospitals and investors. \u201cWe think that the UAE is the first step to go global, and from here we can reach out to foreign investors and then go to Europe and the US,\u201d Bharadwaj tells us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Backed by USD 1.3 mn in seed funding from Indian investors (like Inflection Point Ventures) and <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pib.gov.in\/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=2233623&reg=3&lang=2\" style=\"\">government grants<\/a><\/strong>, Endimension is doing pilot projects with the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/indiaai.gov.in\/startup\/endimension\" style=\"\">IndiaAI program<\/a> and is collaborating with Mumbai\u2019s Tata Memorial Hospital.

Inflation is projected to jump 200-300 basis points in a ceasefire scenario, with an additional 0.9-point spike if fighting continues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The toll on emerging markets: <\/strong>The World Bank slashed 2026 growth forecasts for emerging markets and developing economies to 3.65% in 2026, down from 4% in October, with a downside scenario pulling it as low as 2.6%. Meanwhile, inflation projections have jumped to 4.9%, up from a 3% estimate, potentially climbing to 6.7% if the conflict persists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Where the shock is coming from<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Energy markets are leading the disruption<\/strong>, with oil prices surging by roughly 50%, while supply chains for gas, fertilizers, and even niche inputs like helium are under strain. Aviation and tourism \u2014 early casualties in any regional conflict \u2014 are also absorbing fresh blows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The fate of the Strait of Hormuz is adding pressure.<\/strong> The longer the strait remains closed, the deeper and more lasting the damage will be to critical energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>And the two-week truce appears increasingly tenuous.<\/strong> Exchanges between Israel and Iran, coupled with flopped peace talks, proved how quickly the situation could deteriorate \u2014 keeping markets on edge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Crisis tools are being deployed <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>To support vulnerable economies, the bank is activating crisis-response channels <\/strong><strong>to fast-track liquidity<\/strong>, particularly for energy-importing nations. These mechanisms allow countries to bypass new board approvals and tap into previously authorized but undisbursed funds. Despite these measures, high debt and currently high-interest rates leave little room for error in these economies. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What not to do: <\/strong>Banga cautions against broad energy subsidies, which could further destabilize already strained fiscal positions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>If there is a longer-term takeaway, it\u2019s structural.<\/strong> The crisis is highlighting the need for energy diversification and self-sufficiency. The World Bank nodded to this shift by re-entering nuclear financing alongside continued support for renewables and hydro. Countries that invested early are already seeing the benefits \u2014 Nigeria leveraged its large-scale refining capacity to increase output and supply aviation fuel regionally, insulating itself from the worst of the shock, Banga said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets opened lower this morning on news of the US blockade.<\/strong> Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng shed 1.2%, while Japan\u2019s Nikkei declined 0.6% and the Shanghai Composite was down 0.3%.
