Why India Is Planning A 2,000 KM Pipeline Under The Arabian Sea | Markets Today #219 | Upstox

📌 In this episode of Markets Today, we decode 3 big stories — India quietly planning a ₹40,000 crore undersea gas pipeline from Oman to bypass the Strait of Hormuz risk, why India has effectively banned sugar exports overnight by shifting the category from restricted to prohibited, and why China has taken India to the WTO over solar and IT sector incentives — revealing the growing tension between strategic self-reliance and free trade rules. Plus, trending news on Trump taking Tim Cook, Elon Musk and Jensen Huang to China — is this a political trip or a global business power meeting? #1 🌊 India's Secret Undersea Pipeline ₹40,000 crore. 2,000 km. 3,450 metre depth. Oman to Gujarat direct. India's gas storage covers only 10–12 days of national consumption. After Hormuz disruption sent LNG prices from $12 to $25, India wants a supply route that bypasses shipping chokepoints entirely. #2 🍬 Sugar Exports — Effectively Banned Restricted to prohibited overnight. India exported $1.9 billion of sugar in FY25. Now exports are effectively stopped until September 2026. Domestic price stability is taking priority over forex earnings — India's "internal stability first" strategy in action. #3 ⚖️ China Takes India To WTO $112 billion trade deficit. China alleges India's solar and IT incentives discriminate against Chinese imports. This is China's second WTO challenge against India in months. The global tension between industrial policy and free trade is now hitting India directly. 00:00 - Coming Up 00:41 = India's Secret Undersea Pipeline Explained 03:48 - Sugar Export Banned 06:13 - China vs India At The WTO 09:01 - Trending News Join the Upstox Community: Telegram: https://uptx.to/Telegram-Oct-Community Instagram: https://uptx.to/Instagram-Oct LinkedIn: https://uptx.to/LinkedIn-Oct Twitter: https://uptx.to/Twitter-Oct Also on YouTube: Upstox Global: https://www.youtube.com/@UpstoxGlobal Uplearn by Upstox — India's economy and companies, decoded every week: https://www.youtube.com/@UplearnbyUpstox Upstox is India's most trusted investment platform — backed by Ratan Tata and Tiger Global, and chosen by 1 crore+ Indians to grow their wealth.
