SumanSpeaks Independent Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence NRI Investing · Gulf EPC Tracker The Gulf Reconstruction Play: How NRIs Can Track Indian EPC Firms Winning Overseas Contracts A record ₹7.79 lakh crore order book at L&T with about 37 percent in the Middle East, a UAE gas pipeline award of over ₹4,000 crore at Kalpataru, a Kuwait desalination win at Wabag and a US$1 billion Gulf pipeline in sight at Engineers India. The evidence is public, and an NRI can follow it from the United States. From the United States, the Middle East usually arrives as a headline about oil, shipping lanes and geopolitics. Look one layer below it and a more practical story appears: power lines, gas pipelines, desalination plants and storage terminals that have to be built, repaired and made more resilient. Indian engineering companies already work in those markets. For a US-based NRI who follows Indian equities, the useful question is which listed firms are turn...

SumanSpeaks Independent Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence SEPC Ltd · Sector, War & Rates Lens SEPC Ltd Beyond the Courtroom: Steel, the War Premium, a Petroleum Trading Entry, and Why the RBI May Yet Pause With its legal overhang cleared, a ₹5 EPC stock now meets four currents at once: India's capex cycle, Gulf reconstruction pricing, a UAE fuel-trading entry and a central bank that may not need to hike. 4 October 2026 · Prepared ahead of the RBI decision due on 7 October Our last SEPC Ltd (₹5.07) note dealt with the Madras High Court settlement. This one asks a different question: with the attachment gone, what is the stock actually exposed to?

SumanSpeaks Independent Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence SEPC Ltd · Madras High Court Settlement The Court Cloud Lifts Over SEPC: ₹149.5 Cr Settled while ₹154 Cr Released & now the ₹10,670 Cr Order Book Comes Into Focus... A ₹149.5 crore settlement, nil cash outflow for the company, ₹154 crore of receivables released and every banking restriction removed — all within nine days of the court declining to ease the attachment. For months, the question hanging over SEPC Ltd was a simple one. Would a court-ordered attachment on its receivables choke a company that was otherwise winning large orders and growing fast? On 30 September 2026, the Madras High Court answered it. A Joint Memo of Compromise was recorded, the execution petitions were terminated, and the attachment on roughly ₹154 crore of trade receivables was lifted with immediate effect. SEPC informed the exchanges on 1 October. Readers outside India will find two terms useful. A crore is...

SumanSpeaks Independent Capital Markets and Geopolitical Intelligence Weekend Reading: Gita and Society Krishna Said “Worship Me.” The Viral Post Skipped Chapter 9. A viral Bengali post says India worships the most, achieves the least, and that Krishna never asked for worship. The Gita says otherwise, twice, in Chapters 9 and 18. A post is doing the rounds on Facebook, in Bengali, written with great confidence. It says India worships the most and achieves the least. It says Krishna “never said do puja, he said do karma.” And it offers four proofs: Lakshmi and America, Saraswati and China, Vishwakarma and Germany, the Ganga and Belgium. Great slogan. Let me put one question in front of you: what if the Gita says the exact opposite? THE POST’S CENTRAL CLAIM Shri Krishna never said, “do puja.” He said, “do karma.” We have mistaken puja for karma. 1 Krishna asked. Twice. In the same words. मन्मना भव मद्भक्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु । मामेव...
