<p>Foxconn, an Apple supplier, is set to quadruple its&nbsp;staff at its iPhone manufacturing units&nbsp;in India over the course of two years,&nbsp;indicating a production shift as it deals with interruptions in China, as per an exclusive Reuters report. The supplier has been in&nbsp;news recently due to its rigorous virus restrictions&nbsp;at its Zhengzhou plant, the largest iPhone manufacturer in the world, which have disrupted production and raised questions about how China's virus-related policies would affect global supply chains. This week, Apple cut down its expectation for shipments of the high-end iPhone 14 models due to the delays, which slowed down the company's forecast for sales during the lucrative holiday shopping season.</p>

<p>Taiwan-based Foxconn now intends to strengthen&nbsp;its workforce at its plant in southern India to 70,000 by adding 53,000 more workers over the next two years, said the sources, who chose to stay anonymous.&nbsp;Although Foxconn's Zhengzhou plant, which employs 200,000 people, dwarfs Apple's Tamil Nadu plant in terms of size, it is imperative&nbsp;for Apple&nbsp;to move production away from China.</p>

U.S. issued several warnings to India against the import of Russian oil, saying it was not in India's interest. India continued its energy imports from Russia and now U.S. has started taking a softer stance towards India. U.S. has now taken several opportunities to exclaim how it wishes to be India's 'best defence partner'. But why? Is Russia getting something from India that U.S. wants? Here’s a report by Shivan Chanana.

<p>Indian launch vehicle firm Skyroot Aerospace has announced that their company's first rocket launch would be carried out at 11:30 am on Tuesday, 15 November. The launch of the sub-orbital rocket named 'Vikram-S' will take place from India's spaceport Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. This rocket flight will mark the first-ever launch of a privately designed and built rocket from India. The launch window was announced as 12-16 November and the launch date had to be firmed up based on the weather conditions in India's East Coast, given the prevailing North East Monsoon.&nbsp;</p>

<p><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p>Named 'Vikram-S', the rocket built by Skyroot is meant to lift three payloads belonging to their customers in a Sub-orbital flight(roughly 80 kms above sea level). Generally, anything lofted above the 'Karman Line' (100 kms above sea level) is considered a foray into space and those below the Karman Line are known as sub-orbital flights for upper-atmospheric experiments.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This launch gains significance because it would offer an opportunity for Skyroot to test its flight hardware and systems, thus helping validate their work so far. the company is working on three orbital-class rockets in the Vikram series. The Vikram series of rockets are named after the Indian Physicist and Astronomer Dr. Vikram A Sarabhai, who founded the Indian Space Programme and laid down the ambitious vision for India to use space technology to benefit the common man.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We could build and get our 'Vikram-S' rocket mission-ready in such a short time only because of the invaluable support we received from ISRO and IN-SPACe, and the technology talent that we inherently possess. We are proud to announce our pathbreaking mission 'Prarambh'(the beginning) dedicated to the Indian private space sector, which has hugely benefited from the reforms that were guided by the Government of India and its vision" said Pawan Chandana, Co-Founder and CEO, Skyroot Aerospace.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Pawan had told WION that 'Vikram-S' would be a single-stage rocket that is powered by solid fuel. It will be burning a combination of Aluminium and Ammonium Perchlorate, with Hydroxyl-terminated Polybutadiene acting as a binder. This is a tried and tested solid fuel and is also the same fuel that is used in the solid-stages of India's PSLV and GSLV rockets. ISRO (then known as INCOSPAR) began experimenting with small rockets in the early 1960s and marked the beginning of India's Space programme and the launch of a private rocket from India will kick-start a new era for the private space sector in India.</p>

<p>India's space sector has been dominated by the state-run space agency, Indian Space Research Organization(ISRO) and a few industries that make components for ISRO. However, from 2020 onwards the Indian Government began the roll out of Space Sector Reforms. These reforms are meant to enable private firms in building their own rockets, satellites, related ground equipment etc. This was done with the intention of ensuring that more firms in India can capitalise on the booming global space economy, which is estimated around $450bn.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Though India has end-to-end indigenous capability in designing, building and launching rockets, orbiting satellites and using the data for civilian strategic purposes, India is a small player in the global market. While India does launch satellites for foreign nations, India's share remains around 1.6-2% of the $450bn global market. Private sector players with their innovative ideas and competitive pricing are expected to gradually push the share further and create an aerospace ecosystem in India.

<p>The US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated on Friday that India can continue to buy as much Russian oil as it wants, including at rates above the&nbsp;G7-imposed price cap as long as it avoids Western insurance, finance, and maritime services bound by the cap.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In an interview with Reuters on the sidelines of the US–India business and investment opportunities event in New Delhi, Yellen said despite India's oil purchases from Russia the G7 price cap, which is intended to cut Russia's revenue will&nbsp;still work and bring down global oil prices.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Russia is going to find it very difficult to continue shipping as much oil as they have done when the EU stops buying Russian oil," Yellen told Reuters. "They're going to be heavily in search of buyers. And many buyers are reliant on Western services."</p>

<p>The Treasury Secretary also highlighted that Russian oil "is going to be selling at bargain prices and we're happy to have India get that bargain or Africa or China. It's fine."</p>

<p>Over purchase of Russian oil by India and private Indian oil companies, Yellen said they "can also purchase oil at any price they want as long as they don't use these Western services and they find other services."</p>

The US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated on Friday that India can continue to buy as much Russian oil as it wants, including at rates above the G7-imposed price cap as long as it avoids Western insurance, finance, and maritime services bound by the cap. In an interview with Reuters on the sidelines of the US–India business and investment opportunities event in New Delhi, Yellen said despite India's oil purchases from Russia the G7 price cap, which is intended to cut Russia's revenue will still work and bring down global oil prices.

"They're going to be heavily in search of buyers. And many buyers are reliant on Western services." The Treasury Secretary also highlighted that Russian oil "is going to be selling at bargain prices and we're happy to have India get that bargain or Africa or China. It's fine." Over purchase of Russian oil by India and private Indian oil companies, Yellen said they "can also purchase oil at any price they want as long as they don't use these Western services and they find other services."

"In a world where supply chain vulnerabilities can impose heavy costs, we believe it’s important to strengthen our trade ties with India and the large number of countries that share our approach to economic relations," she remarked at the event. She said that the recent disruptions caused by the pandemic and Russia’s war on Ukraine are reasons to further deepen India-US economic ties.
