India’s media and entertainment industry could hit £80 billion mark by 2035, says Mukesh Ambani

India’s entertainment industry, already a powerful force, is now being seen as a serious engine for economic growth and not just culture. At the WAVES 2025 summit in Mumbai, Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani painted a clear picture: what is today a £22 billion (£1.83 lakh crore) industry could cross £80 billion (£6.67 lakh crore) in the next decade. But he says this growth will not happen on its own, it needs the right backing.

Ambani is not talking about small steps. He envisions India building advanced content hubs across the country, supporting creators with world-class training in animation, visual effects, gaming, and AI-led storytelling tools. In his words, this could unlock millions of jobs, spark new businesses, and bring global attention to Indian content.

Air India faces loss from Pakistan airspace ban, seeks support

AIR INDIA expects to face around $600 million (£480m) in additional costs if a ban from Pakistan's airspace lasts for a year, and has asked the federal government to compensate it for the hit, a company letter seen by Reuters shows.

Indian airlines are bracing for higher fuel costs and longer journey times after Pakistan shut its airspace to the country's carriers in a tit-for-tat retaliation following an attack on tourists in Kashmir last week.

Tariff uncertainty could cause disruption, says ArcelorMittal

STEELMAKER ArcelorMittal on Wednesday said ongoing uncertainty around global tariffs could lead to further economic disruption, even as its global presence helped it remain steady in the first quarter.

The company said the US administration’s 25 per cent tariffs on aluminium and steel imports, along with broader trade measures that are still under negotiation, may affect global growth as both businesses and consumers delay purchases.

BBC uses AI to recreate Agatha Christie for new writing course

Aspiring crime writers now have the opportunity to be taught by Agatha Christie herself, at least in a virtual sense. A new online writing course on the subscription platform BBC Maestro features lessons “delivered” by Christie, who died in 1976, using a combination of artificial intelligence, licensed images, and restored voice recordings.

The AI-powered course was developed by BBC Studios, the commercial arm of the BBC, in collaboration with the Agatha Christie estate. The project aims to present writing advice directly drawn from Christie’s own interviews, letters, and other archival material. The end result is a reconstructed version of the author offering guidance on how to craft mystery stories, including structure, suspense, and plot twists.

India offers rare trade sweetener to fast-track deal with US

NEW DELHI is prepared to include a sweetener in trade talks with Washington that would “future-proof” a deal by ensuring no other trade partners could have superior terms, as it pushes for a quick agreement with the administration of US president Donald Trump, Indian government officials said.

The “forward most-favoured-nation” clause, rarely granted by India in previous trade negotiations, would automatically apply to the US as any more-favourable tariff arrangements that might be agreed with other countries, two officials with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
