Editor's note: This week, billionaires Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani made big announcements on their competing efforts to produce green hydrogen as a fuel. Adani said his group will set up three gigafactories in India to make solar modules, wind turbines and hydrogen electrolysers. Meanwhile, Reliance Industries announced that it will buy a majority stake in California-based solar energy software developer SenseHawk, as part of its renewable energy initiatives.

From cancelled races to scrambled calendars, the Iran conflict is testing an over two-decade partnership that powered the sport’s growth.
A regulatory easing could see the billionaire’s conglomerate move from running airports to owning an airline—an idea he is warming up to, with multiple options open.
While the Rs 9,000 crore promoter investment in Q1 brings a measure of reassurance, investors will still have to wait for Jio and retail to work through their challenges.
