Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020
As per some Indian Military experts, Rains in July will have detrimental bearing on Chinese Mobilization. Especially Armoured formations, which unless withdrawn will be stranded.
They are confident of de-escalation within next 1-2 days. Let's see!

1. If OPEC keeps making cuts while non OPEC production grows, then Cartel weakens. I already posted a Report of BP about their price projections. This means that Indian imports will be USD 50-75 Billion per Annum instead of USD 100-125, of crude Oil. 2. Apart from China, nations like South Korea, EU...

Rishi, the point I am making is that :- 1. Even at current price point, where electric vehicles are double the cost, they will take over 10%-15% of market. This will collapse the Crude Oil prices. 2.

Astra MKI USD 0.75 MIL
Derby, R77, Amraam C5, USD 1 Mil
MICA 2 MIL
Meteor 3 MIL
iDerby, New Amraam, New R77s around USD 1.25-1.5 Mil
