INDIA NEWS | Mon, 15 Dec 2025, 7:49AM IST The history of our cities has been written in water.In Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Indus valley, the first urban settlements were built around irrigated farmland. Flooded terrace fields for rice, corn and quinoa accompanied the spread of civilization in East Asia and the Americas. Without water, the megacities that will define the 21st century would wither and perish.That's looking like a risk factor in an increasing number of locations. Cape Town and Chennai in recent years endured punishing droughts that left them on the brink of crisis. Similar conditions afflicted the upwardly-mobile Indian cities of Bengaluru and Hyderabad last year. Now Tehran (biggest of all, with about 15 million people) is facing the same emergency.Residents of Irans capital are having their taps turned off for hours at a time to ration usage, amid a five-year drought and rainfall thats been running at 96% below average levels. The city may have to be evacuated altogether if a current dry spell doesnt break soon, President Masoud Pezeshkian said last month. That underlines a grim fact of modern life: Even relatively affluent and sophisticated cities might be just a few dry years away from day zero the point where life-giving water supplies run out.Tehrans desperate situation has its origins in the same mania for food and energy security thats causing many nations to raise trade and regulatory barriers to clean power right now. A commitment to food self-sufficiency following the 1979 Iranian revolution spurning imports of nutritional energy in favor of home-grown wheat and rice has drained aquifers and reservoirs to feed thirsty crops. More than 90% of water goes to agriculture, leaving precious little left over for the needs of urbanites.That might be excusable given the widespread sanctions that have crippled Irans economy for decades, but its been accompanied by wasteful usage, too. Per-capita water resources are greater than in Germany, India or South Korea, so should be sufficient to supply most of Irans needs, if they were well managed. Thats not whats happened. Flood irrigation, an ancient practice that wastes immense amounts of H2O through evaporation when compared to drip irrigation that uses pipes, is still the predominant method of watering fields.Tariffs and subsidies mean trade with more productive countries is fragile. China and India are the biggest producers of grain, and also major participants in the barter-style oil trade that gets around international sanctions on Tehran. China, however, barely exports food to Iran, while Indias basmati farmers have to contend with occasional import bans imposed whenever the Iranian government wants to prop up its local growers.Comments from energy minister Abbas Aliabadi earlier this month supporting the import of virtual water thirsty crops that should be produced in countries with more abundant rainfall are a rare official admission that the drive to self-sufficiency is failing, and more food is going to need to come in from overseas.This crisis is a sign of a planet whose cycles are increasingly slipping out of balance. While a shortage of water is crippling Iran, on the other side of the Indian Ocean an excess from monsoonal rains has caused $20 billion of flood damages from Sri Lanka to Vietnam. Both situations would have been unlikely without the effects of climate change. Whereas Iran can now expect a drought like that of 2025 every 10 years, in a pre-warming world it would have happened as rarely as once a century. As the worlds sixth-biggest emitter and one of the largest exporters of oil, it bears much of the responsibility for the warming now making Tehran unlivable.Its not alone. Many of the countries hit by the recent Asian floods could find their current conditions flipping to Tehran-style droughts in future. In a 2020 study of 12 megacities in developing countries at risk of water shortages, the city ranks relatively low. To meet a basic standard of health and hygiene, Lagos, Jakarta, Mumbai, and Kolkata all need at least 50% more water per person than their systems are capable of supplying. Tehrans deficit is a relatively modest 29%.Evacuation isnt the solution. Like pollution-choked Delhi and the sinking metropolis of Jakarta, Tehran has reached a scale where it will become impossible to move it to another location, regardless of the wishes of businesses or government officials.Better options are available. Reduce the barriers to food imports, to lessen the strain on local fields. Use Irans vast reserves of oil and gas to churn out hoses and pipes, to ensure the water it does have isnt lost to evaporation. Most of all, use that barter trade with China to switch to renewable energy. Irans future will only be truly secure when it starts cutting its own carbon footprint.

INDIA NEWS | Mon, 15 Dec 2025, 5:40AM IST Mumbai: The board of the capital market regulator is set to discuss a proposal to revamp the fee structure for the mutual fund industry, which manages assets in excess of 80 lakh crore. The move is aimed at making mutual funds more transparent and cost-efficient for investors as part of a comprehensive review of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) regulations in nearly three decades. The regulator's board, which is scheduled to meet on December 17, will also discuss a proposal to simplify initial public offering (IPO) disclosures and ease pre-IPO lock-in rules besides taking up the expert panel's report on conflict of interest rules for its top officials. In October, Sebi proposed to reduce total expense ratio (TER) across equity and debt funds. It also proposed lower brokerage fees. 125968448 TER has been defined by Sebi to cover all scheme expenses charged to investors. It's the fee deducted from assets under management to cover management and operating expenses. TER charged in slabs based on the size of the asset under management. The regulator has suggested reducing the TER mutual funds charge by 15-20 basis points in a discussion paper. Another key proposal is lowering the brokerage paid for cash market transactions to two basis points (bps) from 12 basis points, and five basis points to one basis point for derivative transactions. This is being resisted by market intermediaries, said people familiar with the development. Sebi said high brokerage charges could be attributed to services other than execution, which may include research. As research is inherent to investment management and advisory, a separate limit for this may not be appropriate. "Due to such bundled service arrangements, the investors may often end up paying twice for the research," Sebi had said in its discussion paper. Fund houses and brokers differ "The proposed reduction in brokerage may not be in the interest of investors in the long term," said Anand Rathi, chairman of Anand Rathi Group. "Performance of any mutual fund is dependent on the quality of sell-side research provided by brokers. Buy-side research of mutual funds doesn't (engage in) detailed research but mainly evaluates sell-side research to make investment decisions, hence there is no duplication of research." Sebi has already set a limit of 12 basis points for the cash market and five basis points for derivatives, he said. "In actual practice, every mutual fund decides the actual rate based on their assessment of quality of research and trading efficiency provided by the broker and varies between six bps to 12 bps," Rathi said. "Hence, it is better to leave to the mutual fund manager to decide actual brokerage and not change the present limits." The watchdog has received a number of responses from market participants on the mutual fund regulations proposal. "The Sebi board will take a final call," said one of the persons cited above. The regulator has also proposed keeping all statutory levies, including securities transaction tax (STT), goods and services tax (GST) and stamp duty, outside TER limits. Further, it plans to scrap the additional five basis points that fund houses were allowed to charge across schemes. According to a note by global brokerage firm Jefferies, the removal of the five basis point allowance, previously granted to offset exit-load credits, would directly hurt the margins of asset management companies. Initial share sales The board is also likely to discuss the proposal to introduce a separate offer document summary containing concise information about the issuer company, along with streamlining the process for pre-IPO pledged shares. The offer document typically comprises detailed disclosures across various sections such as industry overview, business, financials, pending litigation, management discussion, offer procedure and articles of association. The regulator is of the view that, due to size and complexity, key disclosures relating to the public issue-such as major risk factors and financial highlights-are too widely dispersed across multiple sections. The summary would be made available separately from the offer document and improve information accessibility for retail investors. The current requirement to prepare an abridged prospectus would be dispensed with.
