    Can India’s man-made fibre industry navigate the Iran war disruption?
    Oct 1 2026
    The Iran war and the resulting volatility in crude oil prices are pushing up raw material costs and disrupting supply chains for India’s man-made fibre industry. In this episode of BusinessLine’s Trending Commodities podcast, Sunil Jhunjhunwala, Head of the MMF Committee at the Tiruppur Exporters’ Association and Co-founder and Managing Director of TechnoSport, discusses the impact on the knitwear sector, India’s domestic processing capabilities and the policies needed to improve global competitiveness. He also explains why the long-term shift from cotton to man-made fibres is being driven by technology and performance rather than price, and looks at the growing demand for activewear.

    How freight volatility and geopolitical tensions are reshaping commodity markets
    Aug 27 2026
    Commodity markets are increasingly being shaped by supply chains rather than production alone. In this episode of BusinessLine's Trending Commodities podcast, Subramani Ra Mancombu speaks with Soham Chokshi, Co-founder and CEO of Shipsy, about how freight volatility, geopolitical tensions and trade disruptions are influencing commodity prices, inventory planning and sourcing decisions. From the Red Sea crisis and changing shipping routes to rising working capital costs and the need for diversified suppliers, the discussion explores why logistics has become a crucial component of competitiveness. Chokshi also explains how businesses are shifting their focus from cost efficiency to resilience in a world where supply chain disruptions have become a recurring reality.

  • Beyond E20: How India's ethanol ecosystem is evolving | Trending Commodity Podcast | EP 12

    Beyond E20: How India's ethanol ecosystem is evolving | Trending Commodity Podcast | EP 12
    Jul 29 2026
    India’s ethanol programme has moved beyond blending targets, with energy security, agricultural markets, and a broader biofuel ecosystem shaping its future. In this episode of the Trending Commodity Podcast, host M R Subramani Mancombu speaks with Tarun Sawhney, Vice Chairman & MD of Triveni Engineering & Industries Ltd about the evolving landscape of India’s ethanol and biofuel sector. The conversation is about why ethanol has become important not only for reducing dependence on imported crude oil but also for supporting India’s environmental commitments under its Nationally Determined Contributions. Sawhney discusses how the biofuel ecosystem extends beyond ethanol production, creating opportunities for farmers, industries, and the development of a circular bioeconomy. The discussion also examines the readiness needed for higher ethanol blends, including supply, distribution networks, flex-fuel vehicles, and policy support. Sawhney explains why India’s ethanol future is expected to rely on a wider range of feedstocks, including grain-based sources such as damaged rice, surplus food grains, and maize, rather than only sugarcane. The episode also looks at how ethanol is influencing agricultural markets, improving demand stability for farmers, and creating new linkages between fuel, farming, and industry. Sawhney shares his outlook on the impact of El Niño on the sugarcane sector and why he expects no significant sugar shortage in the near term.
