world. COVAX suffered a big jolt in April when big vaccine producer India stopped all overseas shipments to meet local demand as infections rose dramatically.India’s coronavirus crisis has now eased and output of the AstraZeneca drug at SII, the world’s biggest vaccine maker, has also jumped, but so has domestic demand.“We remain hopeful that SII deliveries will resume in
the third quarter, however, this cannot be confirmed at this stage,” a GAVI spokesperson said in an e-mail late on Tuesday.“In the meantime, COVAX has been aggressively following through on its strategy of diversifying its portfolio, securing over a billion additional doses in the past month alone either through direct procurements or through dose sharing.”SII

The country, suffering from a resurgence in infections, has received only 7 million doses out of 30 million it has ordered from the company.

SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Editorial
SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Crude Market In Wild Swings Should Cause Worry
Fuel prices have already tested consumers’ capacity to pay, not necessarily due unduly high crude prices. But the oil market in the past few days have been witnessing wild swings, which also implied the potential for a further spike, which will be disastrous for the Indian consumer. The factors in favour of an increase or a decline both appear at the moment to be evenly poised, with a lot depending on the August meeting of the oil cartel, which is currently pulled in opposite directions by those who favour further tightening and the other producers who want to loosen the tap for their own specific reasons. Oil prices on the international market this week have witnessed a wild ride and unpredictability, causing swings to either side, causing much confusion to the traders. The unpredictability has prompted traders to wait for the dust to settle down before taking any medium term view. There is increasing US and Russian pressure on the cartel to bring in greater market stability, meaning higher supplies, particularly as prices have become uncomfortably high for US consumers. There is also a realisation in the market that a rebellion could take place within in OPEC+ that could bring unregulated supply to the market. The most bullish but still reasonable oil price forecasts that the market was considering until a few weeks ago were oil foaming up to $80 per barrel. As the unpredictability of that the OPEC+ meeting breakdown pushed prices towards the $80 per barrel threshold, many traders could have felt that prices are approaching a peak and that they would soon deflate, so a selloff could have been triggered. This probably explains the recent swings towards lower prices. Russian comments have highlighted the need for OPEC+ to the negotiating table and agree on grater supply, which have exerted some bearish pressure. As of now, the talks remain disrupted. A surge in prices for US consumers is also a problem for economic growth and, therefore, the US is also looking forward to seeing more barrels coming from OPEC+ to relieve the tightness. While a tighter crude market is justified, the current price environment is largely exaggerated by market excitement, but more so, uncertainty. If OPEC+ does not raise August production, the market should expect much larger inventory draws than what was so far anticipated. This is a bullish development, especially as demand is expected to grow by at least 2 million bpd between now and August. The imminent demand spike should be a justification good enough for OPEC+ to work out a supply increase deal. However, it is just as likely the group takes a step back and revisits its supply quotas at the August meeting – once there is more data on the demand destruction of the Delta variant and progress on the Iran nuclear deal. The nuclear deal itself may become a bargaining chip in chartering a new OPEC+ deal with new benchmark production quotas, that could include more leniency towards the OPEC+ members like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which have done much of the heavy lifting of the deal in the past 13 months. Setting new quotas could also provide an opportunity to include the current non-contributors of Iran, Venezuela, and Libya. Looking at the current deadlock, It is unlikely that the UAE alone will be allowed to get a higher quota, because this will come at the expense of other members, in particular Saudi Arabia. Another very real consideration is that many of the OPEC+ countries, Russia in particular, are facing natural decline in the medium-term, so a lower quota in some cases could be strategic for long-term revenues. Leading energy consultants Rystad Energy describes the OPEC+ impasse as an example of Icarus flying too close to the sun – a sizeable supply deficit in the market will stoke prices in the short-term, potentially above $80 per barrel Brent, but could also be setting the stage for an oil price crash similar to what the market experienced in November 2018. In the summer of 2018, a duopoly power spearheaded by Saudi Arabia and Russia, OPEC+ was able to stoke oil prices to $82 Brent by October 2018, which was a short-lived high as the loose supply policy resulted in prices dropping to $58 per barrel in late November 2018, which forced OPEC+ to come back to the table and announce a more than 1.2 million bpd collective supply cut. The current OPEC+ spat highlights not only the fragility of the market in a specific Covid-19 context, but also the broader animosity brewing between the group of 23 nations that are forced to come together to manage the - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara market, but of course.

transmission and distribution and the operation of ports and airports. The two billionaires - and Mr Modi - are all from Gujarat. Mr Ambani announced last month he
will build 100 GW in solar energy capacity over the next nine years. He said his group would spend $10 billion over the next three years in building solar manufacturing units, a battery factory for energy storage, a fuel cell factory, and a unit to produce green hydrogen. Three days later, Mr Adani announced that his green energy venture would add 5 GW every year this decade, from a current level of about 3.5 GW.Analysts say there is sufficient space for multiple companies to grow as a part of India’s ambitious green energy target, but tariffs could fall further as companies try to outdo each other in aggressive bidding wars to win projects.
