On the global front, Trump has once again dropped a bomb for the pharma sector, warning that the industry could witness a triple-digit tariff rate. 'They're going to be tariffed at a very, very high rate, like 200 percent,' Trump reportedly said.

Swiss PE firm Partners Group to acquire majority stake in Infinity Fincorp for $230 mn, outbids Advent and Creador

Swiss private equity firm Partners Group is set to acquire a majority stake in shadow lender Infinity Fincorp for ₹ 1,950 crore ($230 million), the companies said on Thursday. The transaction includes a primary capital infusion of ₹ 600 crore ($70 million) and a secondary purchase of shares from existing shareholders, including Indium IV (Mauritius) Holdings, a fund advised by True North. The companies did not disclose the percentage of the stake being acquired. Partners Group clinched the deal after outbidding rival private equity firms Advent International and Creador, both of which had also shown interest in acquiring a controlling stake in Infinity Fincorp. The ₹ 600 crore primary investment will help Infinity expand its branch network, upgrade technology systems, and improve customer onboarding processes. Infinity Fincorp, headquartered in Mumbai, provides secured loans to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The company operates over 120 branches across eight states and manages assets worth over ₹ 1,200 crore. This deal marks Partners Group's first step into India's MSME lending segment. Infinity Fincorp serves nearly 50,000 clients in sectors including agriculture, manufacturing, and trade, and has a workforce of over 1,500 employees. The transaction, which is pending approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), will see Partners Group take over from Indium IV as the majority shareholder. Existing investor Jungle Ventures will retain a stake and participate in the new round. Avendus Capital served as the sole financial advisor to Infinity Fincorp and Indium IV for this transaction. Infinity's current leadership team, including its founder and CEO Shrikant Ravalkar, will remain in charge of operations. Established in 2016 as a subsidiary of National Bulk Handling Corporation and initially funded by Indium IV Holdings (a True North-advised fund), Infinity provides secured business loans to MSMEs in underbanked areas. It operates in eight states across western and southern India, with a network of 123 branches and 1,507 employees. The states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu account for 75% of its total assets under management (AUM). Infinity primarily extends loans secured by residential or commercial property, targeting small businesses such as traders, retail shops, dairy outlets, kirana stores, and medical or provision stores. Earlier this year, the company raised $40 million in an extended Series A round led by Beams Fintech Fund, with participation from existing investors True North LLP, Jungle Ventures, and Archerman Capital. In January, it had already secured $35 million from Jungle Ventures, Archerman Capital, and Magnifico. Partners Group, which manages $152 billion in global assets, has previously invested in several Indian companies, including HR software provider Darwinbox, logistics startup Ecom Express, and retail chain Vishal Mega Mart. In April, the firm exited its investment in Ecom Express by selling its stake to Delhivery in a cash deal worth ₹ 1,407 crore, alongside co-investors Warburg Pincus and British International Investment. Beyond these, the group has also invested in CSS Corp, an IT services provider, and Aavas Financiers, a housing finance company.

Trump backs new Russia sanctions bill that could place 500% tariff on India

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he would strongly consider backing a new Russia sanctions bill that aims to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war. The bill, which was introduced in the US Senate earlier this year, proposes a 500% tariff on countries like India which purchase Russian energy products. 'I'm looking. It's totally at my option. They pass it totally at my option, and to terminate totally at my option. And I'm looking at it very strongly,' said Trump on Tuesday to reporters during a Cabinet meeting. The American leader also expressed mounting frustration at Russia's Putin for refusing to end the conflict with Ukraine. Trump recently directed the America's Defence Department to send more defensive weapons to Ukraine. The Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025 was introduced in the US Senate in April this year by Senator Lindsey Graham, a close political ally of President Trump. The bill proposes steep 500% American tariffs on goods and services exports from countries that purchase Russian-origin oil, natural gas, uranium and petroleum products. It also pushes for expanded sanctions against Russian businesses, government institutions and top policymakers. Senator Graham, who is steering the bill through Congress, has said the bill will target countries like India and China. 'I've got 84 co-sponsors for a Russian sanctions bill that is an economic bunker buster against China, India, and Russia for Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine. I think that bill's going to pass,' Graham said in a television interview in June. With President Trump's backing, the bill could move fast. Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune said there was 'a lot of interest' in the new Russia sanctions bill and said more announcements could be made later this week. The proposed bill allows the President of the United States to issue a one-time waiver of 180 days to a particular country in case ' the President determines that such a waiver is in the national security interests of the United States'. According to reports in the American media, the bill is being changed to allow the President to issue a waiver a second time. India was the second largest buyer of Russian fossil fuels in May , according to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air. It estimated that India purchased fossil fuels worth €4.2 billion from Russia in May, with crude oil amounting to 72% of the total. India is closely tracking the bill and the Indian Embassy is in touch with Senator Graham regarding the bill, said External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar during his visit to Washington earlier this month. 'Regarding Senator Lindsey Graham's bill, obviously, any development, which is happening in the US Congress is of interest to us, if it impacts our interest or could impact our interest. So we have been in touch with Senator Graham. The embassy and the ambassador have been in touch. I think our concerns and our interests on energy security have been made conversant to him, so we'll then have to cross that bridge if we come to it,' Jaishankar told reporters in Washington.

Oil Steady as Traders Weigh Rising US Stockpiles, Trump's Levies

Oil steadied as traders weighed a large increase in US crude stockpiles and a wave of new tariff rates from President Donald Trump. Brent held near $70 after closing little changed on Wednesday, while West Texas Intermediate was around $68. US inventories rose by about 7.1 million barrels last week, the biggest build since January, according to official data. Stockpiles at the Cushing storage hub expanded for the first time since May. The market continues to monitor a flurry of tariff demand letters being issued by Trump, with Brazil the latest to be slapped with high levies, following threats on copper imports and other countries. The president's trade regime and vows of retaliation by targeted nations has rattled global markets. Oil is still marginally higher this week, despite a decision by OPEC on Saturday to raise output more than expected in August. The group is betting on robust summer demand to help absorb the extra barrels, but there are concerns the market is facing a glut later in the year as peak consumption declines. Traders are also keeping an eye on any escalation of tensions in the Middle East after Tehran-backed Houthi militants intensified their attacks on ships in the Red Sea, sinking two vessels and killing sailors. The hostilities follow a conflict between Israel and Iran, which is currently subject to a fragile truce. 'Despite a barrage of headlines, the market seems stuck in a holding pattern,' said Priyanka Sachdeva, a senior market analyst for brokerage Phillip Nova Pte in Singapore. 'Until either demand strengthens materially or supply shocks escalate meaningfully, crude may continue to drift sideways.'
