Adani Airports Gets $1 Billion Financing For Mumbai International Airport
Mumbai International Airport Ltd, a subsidiary of Adani Airport Holdings, has secured a $750 million investment from a group led by affiliates of Apollo-managed funds and other long-term backers, the US private capital group said on Monday.
The four-year unsecured notes will be used to refinance existing debt, with an option to raise an additional $250 million, Apollo said in a statement.
Adani Airports Holdings, the airport division of Adani Enterprises, secured a $750 million investment earlier this month from a consortium of international banks.
The unit is expected to be spun off and listed by March 2027, according to a Bloomberg report from June.
Adani Airport Holdings currently operates eight airports across India and also oversees the Navi Mumbai International Airport, a strategically located project on the outskirts of Mumbai set become operational soon.

The New Map of Indian Luxury: Powered by Visa, Driven by Aspirations
Step into a rooftop café in Indore or cruise through Coimbatore's villa-lined enclaves, and you'll notice a quiet transformation taking place. Affluence in India is no longer tethered to its traditional metro strongholds. Visa's recent whitepaper, Bridging the Gap: Payments in India Beyond Metros, brings this evolution into sharp focus. Credit card spending in non-metro cities has surged 4X between 2019 and 2024—outpacing metro growth and signaling a rising tide of premium consumption. Visa Infinite caters to the new affluent class by offering personalised services and seamless experiences. In fact, users in Tier 2 and 3 cities are now spending over ₹ 2 lakh per card annually—more than three times the metro average. This isn't just economic expansion—it's a recalibration of where, and how, luxury is defined in India. Today, the new luxury story is being written in non-metro India — by a generation that's ambitious, digitally fluent, and seeking more than just status. They're after curated privileges, intuitive access, and security. And Visa is empowering them with personalized offerings that match their pace and priorities —not just by offering access, but by elevating each experience. Visa Infinite: Luxury Tailored for India's New Affluent As affluence grows beyond metros, consumer expectations are evolving. Today's premium customer is not only looking for elevated products but also for experiences that are seamless, secure, and deeply personal. For this rising class of affluent Indians, Visa Infinite is more than a payment card—it's a gateway to a lifestyle where convenience meets exclusivity. Visa Infinite brings together a global ecosystem of premium services designed for those who value thoughtful luxury and effortless living. Whether it's 24/7 concierge services or Visa's Meet and Greet service—offering travelers a smooth, queue-free airport journey from arrival to boarding—Visa Infinite is built to anticipate and respond to the needs of high-frequency travelers. Cardholders can access curated menus and exclusive dining privileges through the Dine with Visa program, which offers gastronomic experiences at select fine-dining restaurants. Those looking to unwind enjoy extended-stay offers and bespoke hospitality experiences across multiple ITC Hotels properties and ELIVAAS-managed premium stays, ensuring every stay feels like a retreat designed just for them. Security That Matches the Stakes Unrestricted access only matters when backed by uncompromising trust. As high-value transactions grow—across luxury travel, fine dining, and premium retail—the need for invisible, intelligent security has never been greater. Visa's cybersecurity infrastructure works quietly behind the scenes, protecting every transaction without disrupting the experience. From tokenized payments mandated by the Reserve Bank of India, which mask sensitive data, to AI-powered tools that detect and stop fraud in milliseconds, Visa's layers of security are engineered to match the expectations of a high-trust environment. Over the last five years, Visa has invested more than $12 billion in technology to ensure payments remain not just fast and convenient, but safe and resilient. This includes the formalisation of a dedicated Scam Disruption Practice, which alone helped prevent over $350 million in losses globally last year. That's in addition to the $40 billion in fraud attempts blocked by Visa's Payment Ecosystem Risk and Control framework. A Global Network That Moves With You Spending by India's upwardly mobile consumers now extends far beyond national borders. At the recent Coldplay concert in the UAE, in-person spending by Indian Visa cardholders jumped by 70%—a clear signal that global experiences are no longer rare indulgences; they're a growing part of India's luxury vocabulary. Visa's network spans more than 200 countries and territories, and its four-decade presence in India allows it to tailor global innovation for local relevance. From contactless payments to co-branded cards crafted for the Indian premium consumer, Visa continues to fuel this outward lifestyle with seamless, secure, and scalable experiences. The Real Luxury? Choice In this new landscape, luxury is no longer about accumulation — it's about freedom and access. Whether that means a Visa Infinite cardholder enjoying bespoke concierge support and global privileges, or a Visa Signature user unlocking domestic travel benefits, extended warranties, and exclusive offers — the idea is simple: luxury should meet you where you are and grow with you. According to the Knight Frank Wealth Report 2025, India is home to 85,698 high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), making it the fourth-largest HNWI population globally— and this number is only expected to grow. But the real momentum lies in the rise of aspirational affluents from cities once considered peripheral. They're no longer waiting for luxury to find them—they're defining it on their own terms. And Visa, with its global expertise and local understanding, is enabling them to do just that — one seamless, secure, and elevated experience at a time.

Top economist warns: US faces a crisis worse than recession — here's what could be coming
The US economy may be headed for something more dangerous than a typical downturn, and a top Wall Street economist has also shared his prediction for the US economy in its current condition, as per a report. Apollo Global Management chief economist Torsten Sløk has warned that America is on the verge of a critical inflection point for stagflation, a situation where inflation remains elevated while growth decelerates — something that's particularly challenging to address, according to a Business Insider report. It's different from a typical recession, as stagflation renders the Federal Reserve powerless, making it more difficult to reduce interest rates without further exacerbating inflation, as per the report. Sløk pointed out in a white paper that this economic condition has largely been triggered by US president Donald Trump's tariffs, reported Business Insider. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Delivery Jobs in Severnobacki Okrug [Join] Delivery Jobs | Search Ads Search Now Undo He explained that, "Tariff hikes are typically stagflationary shocks — they simultaneously increase the probability of an economic slowdown while putting upward pressure on prices," as quoted in the report. The economist also added that consensus forecasts on Wall Street for economic growth have drifted lower this year, while inflation forecasts have edged higher, as reported by Busienss Insider. ALSO READ: Is Iran's enriched uranium hidden on Pickaxe mountain? The secret site that may have fooled the US Live Events Here's what he's forecasting for in the coming months and why it's important for you. 1. GDP growth may be halved Sløk anticipates the economy to slow sharply, and this year the GDP growth may plummet to as low as 1.2%, which is less than half the record 3.1% expansion that occurred in the third quarter of 2024, according to the report. The Bureau of Economic Analysis has estimated that the American economy has already contracted by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025, which is the first decline since 2022, as reported by Business Insider. 2. Inflation is likely to stay high Apollo now forecasts inflation to be around 3% by the end of 2025, which is well above the company's previous estimate of 2.4%, prior to Trump's tariffs announcement in April, as per the report.

Unemployment will continue to increase The labor market is expected to slow down over time for at least the next 18 months, according to Business Insider. Apollo has projected that unemployment could increase from 4.2% currently to 4.4% in 2025 and further jump up to 5% or higher in 2026, as per the report. 4. A recession is still in the cards Apollo has projected that the possibility of a recession over the next 12 months in the United States is at 25%, as reported by Business Insider. Sløk pointed out that before Trump's tariffs, the company was not even anticipating a recession at all this year, according to the report. Sløk even warned that now there is still a risk that the US economy could enter a recession as soon as this summer, referring to his "voluntary trade reset recession" thesis he first floated as tariffs swung into effect earlier this year, as reported by Business Insider. His explanation is that the US economy will enter a recession this summer due to tariffs because of shipments to US ports, and trucking demand will slow down, which will lead to empty shelves and lower sales for firms, as reported by Business Insider. FAQs What's causing this potential stagflation? According to Sløk, it's mostly being driven by President Donald Trump's tariffs, which make imported goods more expensive and can hurt businesses. How bad could the US economy get? Sløk thinks GDP growth, basically how much the economy grows, could be cut in half this year, dropping to just 1.2%.
