THE HINDU

1.

Transforming India's nuclear power landscape

Realising the 100 GW target requires SHANTI Act implementation alongside transparent resolution of tariffs, fuel ownership, waste management, insurance, dispute settlement, and regulatory autonomy.


2.

The World Trade Organization is flailing

Trade multilateralism is facing its biggest stress test since the Second World War. The United States' coercive unilateralism and attempts to dilute foundational rules such as the most-favoured nation (MFN) treatment threaten to hollow out the entire system. At such a critical juncture in history, the World Trade Organization (WTO)'s fourteenth Ministerial Conference (MC14), which recently concluded in Yaoundé, Cameroon (March 2026), was expected to reassure the global community about the importance of a rules-based global trading order, which limits hegemonic tendencies.


3.

Elastic rules 

The latest iterations of India's plastic waste management rules, announced on March 31, suggest that the government has hit a wall in its attempts to curb plastic waste collection and recycling. The Plastic Waste Management Rules, first introduced in 2016, have been amended periodically, reflecting a policy frame-work in constant evolution. The intent is to make companies that produce and use plastics invest in recycling plastic so that, ultimately, less plastic is wasted and dumped in landfills, rivers, oceans, and public spaces.


4.

Balance is key 

As Parliament passed a law last week recognising Amaravati as the capital of Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu scored a decisive political victory. When he broke ground for Amaravati on June 6, 2015, it was not without controversy. About 217 square kilometres of fertile farmland along the Krishna river were envisaged to be consolidated for a capital city that Mr. Naidu hoped would rival Hyderabad – a city on which he had expended considerable political and administrative capital.


5.

The executive office without a limit 

The Constituent Assembly envisioned a daily assessment of the Prime Minister's office through questions, adjournment motions, and no-confidence motions, reinforced by fixed-term elections as an efficient alternative to explicit term limits. However, the anti-defection law altered this intended system of checks. An argument against imposing a term limit is that it could override the voters' expressed preference. Yet, if parliamentary accountability is structurally weakened by the Tenth Schedule, elections bear an even heavier responsibility. 


6.

Why did Iran war not affect China's energy security so far?

How did it tackle the Malacca dilemma? About 15 years ago, China's concerns over its dependence on the Malacca strait for trade and energy transits, and the near permanent American presence in the vicinity were real. The country sought to address this by building the capacity to create strategic petroleum reserves (SPR) and used long-term contracts to fill those up. Today China has nearly 120 days of SPR storage and it may be tapping into some of that. Data suggests that a combination of China's oil reserves and diversification may allow it to bypass imports from the Strait of Hormuz for several months. 


7.

Water sharing, visa likely on Bangladesh Minister's agenda 

Sharing of river water, energy cooperation, normalisation of visa services, and war in West Asia are all expected to feature in bilateral talks with Bangladesh Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman, who is expected to visit India this week, according to diplomatic sources. 


8.

Iran attacks energy infrastructure across UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait 

Critical infrastructure across the Gulf came under attack from Iran on Sunday, with damage reported at civilian facilities in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait. Gulf countries have faced repeated drone and missile salvos from Iran in response to U.S. and Israeli strikes on the Islamic republic that began at the end of February.


9.

How energy efficiency drives seasonal mountain bird migration 

Birds migrate to areas with more or increasing resources and to stay within the climate niche to which they are adapted. They also migrate short distances up and down mountains around the world. In a new study, researchers from the U.K., the U.S., and Taiwan analysed citizen science data across 34 mountain regions worldwide and found that elevational migration in birds is widespread even in the equatorial tropics. The authors of the study argued that the seasonal movement of birds in mountains is driven by a need to optimise their energy budgets.
