Srei Infrastructure Finance Ltd. plans to stop financing Indian infrastructure projects after three decades in the business, as a slowing economy and crisis in the shadow bank sector dries up funding lines.

The International Finance Corp.-backed firm will instead focus solely on financing purchases and leasing of equipment, Vice Chairman Sunil Kanoria said in an interview in his Kolkata office. Srei has tied up with eight banks that will fund 80% of each project while Srei will finance 20%, reducing Srei’s need for capital.

Russia has kicked off production for a batch of S-400 missile defense systems with India’s name on them, bringing a deal reached in 2018 one step closer to fruition despite fevered protests – as well as threats – from Washington.

“The Almaz-Antey concern has begun manufacturing the S-400 systems for India, and Russia will deliver the S-400s to India within the timeframe stipulated by the contract,” said Russian Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov, adding that training centers had already been established in India to prepare operators of the missile system.

In general, all commitments undertaken by the parties, including the payment, are being fulfilled in full.

Since Moscow and New Delhi inked a $5.43 billion contract for five S-400 units in 2018, Washington has made numerous attempts to scuttle the deal, warning India the move could restrict the country’s “interoperability” with American systems, and at times even hinting at economic sanctions.

韩国现代汽车集团将在印度市场加强攻势。继旗下的起亚汽车2019年底在印度南部起用自主工厂之后，2020年将追加2款新车。尽快把集团整体在当地的产能提高至100万辆。现代将印度市场定位为替中国市场的增长火车头，挑战排在首位的玛鲁蒂铃木的根据地。

现代汽车集团积极拓展的是印度市场。起亚汽车2019年12月正式起用年产30万辆规模的印度工厂。除了SUV“Seltos”之外，到2020年还将在印度推出2款新车，以争取广泛消费者。

现代汽车也计划2020年扩建印度金奈工厂，把产能提高至75万辆，两家企业合计产能将超过100万辆。计划将来向西亚和非洲出口，把印度作为市场开拓的立足点。

　　有印度汽车分析师表示，“在设计、功能和价格等印度人偏好的基础上充分研究、推进开发”，对现代汽车集团给予积极评价。目前表现强劲的起亚汽车的Seltos售价最低100万卢比（约合人民币9.98万元），价格适中。汽车行业相关人士表示，“与其他车企的SUV相比非常具有竞争力”。
