Solar panels stand at the Welspun Energy solar power plant in Neemuch, Madhya Pradesh, India. One sector in particular — electrical power transmission — will see $270 billion in financial benefits, according to Goldman Sachs. While utilities like the Power Grid Corporation of India may be perceived as unsexy, compared to growth stocks like Tesla, India plans to promote renewable energy without the taxpayer spending a single rupee. The country has added about 70 gigawatts of solar power capacity over the past decade without piling on further costs by simply maximizing the grid's usage. Currently, state governments in India levy surcharges and taxes on every unit of carbon-intensive energy transmitted through the grid.

Kensington Palace released the image of Middleton and her children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — on Sunday, writing that the photo was taken by Price William. Kensington Palace previously announced that Middleton underwent a planned abdominal surgery in January. AdvertisementOne photo editor who dissected the image told Business Insider he was surprised the photo was released in the first place. "It's astonishing that Kensington Palace released it, and even more bewildering that the wires distributed it," said Patrick Witty. Kensington Palace did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

India's ITC misses profit estimates as competition, costs rise

REUTERS/Vivek Prakash/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsBENGALURU/CHENNAI, Oct 19 (Reuters) - India's ITC (ITC.NS) reported a smaller-than-expected rise in its second-quarter profit on Thursday, as the consumer goods major grappled with stiff competition from smaller rivals and higher prices of some commodities. Dove-soapmaker Hindustan Unilever said earlier in the day it lost some market share in its mass segment - comprising lower-priced products - due to competition. The tobacco-to-hotels conglomerate's profit still rose 10% to 49.27 billion rupees ($592.81 million), but missed analysts' average estimate of 49.54 billion rupees, according to data from LSEG. Revenue from operations rose 3% to 177.05 billion rupees, helped by a 10% surge in its cigarettes business. Other consumer goods majors Nestle India (NEST.NS) and Hindustan Unilever eased past quarterly earnings estimates earlier on Thursday, as city dwellers spent more on affordable pick-me-ups like cookies and coffee.

Employees of Indian software company Infosys walk past Infosys logos at their campus in the Electronic City area in Bangalore September 4, 2012. REUTERS/Vivek Prakash/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsBENGALURU, Oct 13 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Clients are cutting back on IT spending as the global economy slows. India’s second biggest technology services firm by market capitalisation Infosys (INFY.NS) has twice cut its revenue growth forecast this year. IT firms provide well-paying jobs in urban India where less than half of workers have regular wages or salaries. As a result, Infosys revenue grew 16% annually between financial year 2021 and 2023, twice the rate during the prior three years.

Employees of Indian software company Infosys walk past Infosys logos at their campus in the Electronic City area in Bangalore September 4, 2012. REUTERS/Vivek Prakash/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsBENGALURU, Oct 5 (Reuters) - J.P.Morgan analysts expect investors to parse upcoming second-quarter results and commentary from Indian IT companies for signs of recovery in deal signings in fiscal 2025 following a "washout" year. The focus for this quarter's earnings reports will be on deal signings as well as the split of new deals versus renewals to assess fiscal 2025 growth, the analysts said. J.P.Morgan expects high single-digit earnings growth, in percentage terms, for large-cap IT companies in fiscal 2025, while market expectations are for double-digit growth. Nonetheless, J.P.Morgan upgraded Infosys (INFY.NS) to "neutral" from "underweight" saying lower expectations were baked in and its large deal wins give visibility into fiscal 2025.
