Plans to become India's second-largest shipping firm
Buoyed by maritime reforms announced in the Budget, Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) — the world's second-largest shipping company — is looking to raise its fleet here with locally built vessels and is in talks to place orders on Indian shipyards.
"We're the second largest shipping company in the world. This is also the target we have set for India — to become the second largest such company in the country," Anand Jayaraman, executive officer for the South Asia Middle East Region, said at an interaction in New Delhi.
The company owns a fleet of 935 vessels globally, with a significant share in energy transportation across the globe.
In India, its fleet primarily comprises crude oil carriers and automobile carriers.
"We have been discussing having our ships made in India — in the near future, India will become a shipbuilding nation. As one of the biggest ship owners, we will be having ships in India," said Jayaraman.

'Earlier, almost any IPO could find demand. That phase is over'
After a record-breaking run last year, India’s initial public offering (IPO) market has begun 2026 on a subdued note, with volatility and geopolitical risks tempering investor appetite. But the slowdown does not signal a freeze, says Neha Agarwal, managing director (MD) and head of ECM at JM Financial. Instead, the market is entering a far more selective phase. In an interview with Samie Modak and Khushboo Tiwari in Mumbai, Agarwal outlines why the next cycle will reward quality over quantity and which sectors are best placed to attract capital.
