Private<\/strong> equity firm Advent International\u2019s bid to buy up to USD 1 bn worth of Whirlpool\u2019s <\/strong>India unit has collapsed over valuation differences<\/strong>, Reuters<\/a> reports, citing unnamed sources.

Jera, <\/strong>Japan\u2019s<\/strong> largest power producer, has signed its first long-term liquefied natural gas <\/strong>(LNG) export contract with India\u2019s Torrent Power<\/strong>, agreeing to supply four cargoes a year for a decade starting 2027, as per a press release<\/a>.
