India to release strategic oil reserves to reduce the oil price as a part of global mission

India is the world’s third-largest crude oil importer. It has agreed to release 50 lakhs (5 million) barrels of crude oil from its strategic reserves.

India has made this decision as a part of a global mission in collaboration with other large consumers such as the United States, China, Japan, and South Korea. The US has agreed to release 50 million barrels of oil from its reserves as a part of the mission.

The decision to release oil reserves puts major consumers at odds with OPEC, which considers an unreasonable price. So, this may reconsider OPEC plans to add additional supply at its meeting on December 2, 2021.

OPEC stands for “Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries”.

Half of the IPOs listed in November fell below their listed prices

A steep decline in Indian equities markets has driven four out of seven newly listed IPOs that made their stock market debut in November below their issue prices.

Paytm, Fino Payments Bank, SJS Enterprises, and Sapphire Foods are presently trading below their respective issue prices. Fino Payments Bank dipped 37 per cent from its listed price of ₹577.

The stock price of Paytm has fallen 41% from its issue price of Rs 2,150, as investors remain wary of the company’s high valuation and reluctant of its business model.

The firm has a large customer base, great brand positioning, and an early mover advantage in digital payment services. But it is still a loss-making company with highly aggressive pricing. So we observed a lukewarm reaction in terms of subscriptions.
