In today's episode of The Daily Brief, we cover a deep dive and another story for the day shaping Indian and global markets: 1. India’s EV Battery Problem

We’ll cover:

• Why making battery cells is much harder than assembling battery packs • How China’s dominance and tighter technology-transfer rules are affecting India • How JSW, Tata, Reliance and Ola are trying different ways to reduce dependence on China

2. Why Airlines Want Cheaper Fuel

We’ll cover:

• Why ATF prices have risen sharply despite India refining enough fuel domestically • Why the government’s earlier ₹10,000-crore fuel stabilisation scheme failed to attract airlines • What airlines are now asking for, and why higher fares may not be enough to offset rising costs
