TAFE to buy back AGCO's 20.7% stake for $260 million, gains exclusive ownership of Massey Ferguson brand in India
As part of the agreement, TAFE will acquire AGCO's 20.7% stake in the company for $260 million (approximately Rs 2,165 crore), making TAFE a wholly owned subsidiary of the Chennai-based Amalgamations Group. Following this transaction, TAFE will gain sole and exclusive ownership of the Massey Ferguson brand across India, Nepal, and Bhutan, including all related trademarks and goodwill.
TAFE will continue to retain its 16.3% equity stake in AGCO and has agreed not to exceed this level. The company will also participate in AGCO's future share buyback programs to maintain its proportional ownership, subject to specified conditions.
Additionally, all existing commercial agreements between TAFE and AGCO will be terminated. However, TAFE will fulfill pending supply orders and continue parts support under agreed terms. Both companies have agreed to withdraw all ongoing legal proceedings, including those before the Madras High Court concerning the Massey Ferguson brand.
The agreement will take effect following necessary regulatory and procedural approvals in India.
TAFE Chairman and Managing Director Mallika Srinivasan expressed gratitude for the long-standing partnership with AGCO and reiterated the company's commitment to Indian agriculture and its dealer and customer base.

Spain's Renfe departs from Texas rail project
A Spanish railway company has pulled out of the bullet train project that aims to connect Dallas and Houston. Why it matters: The departure is another setback for the project, which hasn't started construction amid eminent domain challenges, investor changes and federal funding cuts. Flashback: Texas Central Railway in 2018 named Renfe, with routes covering about 9,300 miles in Spain, as an early operator for Texas' future bullet train. Central Japan Railway was chosen to provide the technology. The latest: In April, the U.S. Department of Transportation ended a $64 million grant to Amtrak for the rail project, saying the project is "a waste of taxpayer funds." A Fort Worth-based company joined the project as a lead private investor. But Renfe has liquidated its American subsidiary that was part of the Texas train project, writing off 4.5 million euros in losses, per the Spanish newspaper El Economista. The intrigue: The 240-mile route would get travelers from Dallas to Houston within 90 minutes, per Texas Central. The project is estimated to generate billions of dollars in revenue. Between the lines: Renfe's closure of its American subsidiary indicates the company isn't expecting any returns from the project, El Economista reports.

From Waste to Watts: Argonne is Unlocking the Power in Used Nuclear Fuel
LEMONT, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nuclear reactors across the U.S. generate used fuel, but more than 95% of that fuel still holds valuable energy. Through advanced chemical processes and new technologies, scientists aim to recycle this material to generate more power and reduce long-term radioactive waste. Researchers are now working to make this potential a practical, scalable solution. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are partnering with SHINE Technologies, a Wisconsin-based company, to design a new process for separating valuable materials from used nuclear fuel. The process employs innovative equipment, including centrifugal contactors—spinning devices that efficiently separate mixed liquids—to create a safer, more efficient recycling method ready for industrial use. 'Bridging scientific research and industrial implementation is critical,' said Candido Pereira, deputy division director of Argonne's Chemical and Fuel Cycle Technologies (CFCT) division. 'Our team is committed to supporting the private sector with world-class solutions.' Recycling used nuclear fuel is complex. It's highly radioactive, generates heat, and must be safely stored and cooled. Facilities need systems to manage small amounts of leftover material. Nuclear material also requires strict safeguards to prevent unauthorized use. Scientists apply 'safeguards by design' early in development to ensure compliance and security. Economic viability is another hurdle. Recovered materials need practical applications and buyers. Some utilities may use recycled fuel in advanced reactors. Other byproducts—such as radioisotopes—can power space missions or be used in medical diagnostics. If demand exists, building recycling facilities becomes more feasible. Foresight is essential. Scientists must anticipate how future reactors will use fuel and what materials they'll require. Experts at national labs like Argonne are uniquely positioned to predict these needs and tailor recycling processes. Peter Tkac, nuclear chemist and manager of Argonne's CFCT Radiochemistry Group, leads the effort. 'It's important we develop a process that doesn't produce a pure plutonium stream,' he said, citing security risks. Tkac's team uses a Van de Graaff accelerator to simulate radiation conditions and test chemical durability in safe lab environments, speeding innovation. Tkac's group also collaborates with SHINE to test Argonne's centrifugal contactors. Using 3D printing, they build custom prototypes of different designs, allowing rapid, cost-effective testing. 'Recycling used nuclear fuel is complicated,' said Tkac. 'But with the right strategy, we can reduce waste, improve energy supply, and support the future of nuclear power.'
