Episode What does owning a foreign mine actually buy India?

0:00 25:33

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. Why Owning a Mine Abroad Isn’t Enough

We’ll cover:

• Why India imports coking coal and copper despite having significant domestic mineral resources. • What overseas mining investments by KABIL, ICVL and JSW Steel actually offer. • How host countries' policies and China's dominance in mineral refining affect India's supply security.

2. Why Pharma Rivals Settle, Not Fight

We’ll cover:

• Why Biocon agreed to delay its US launch despite Perjeta's main patent expiring in 2025. • How patent settlements and different market conditions influence biosimilar launches in the US and Europe. • How the Biocon–Roche dispute compares with Zydus's ongoing patent battle in India, and what it means for patients.
