## Resource

India’s corporate sector is preparing for a more challenging financial environment as rising debt costs, a weakening rupee and global uncertainty begin affecting businesses across industries. The Adani Group and SP Group are refinancing massive debt obligations, while companies like Apple and Oppo are facing hurdles in expanding operations in India. Employees at major IT firms such as TCS are also feeling the pressure through lower variable pay and modest salary hikes. Meanwhile, the falling rupee and rising fuel prices continue to strain oil companies and inflation outlooks. The story also highlights India’s renewed focus on coal gasification and long-term energy security. Find all this and more in the latest edition of Moneycontrol Editor’s Picks.
