In today's episode of The Daily Brief, we cover two stories shaping Indian and global markets: 1. India's Bullet Train Journey India's first bullet train project is finally nearing completion after years of delays, rising costs, and engineering challenges. We explain why building a high-speed rail network is so difficult, why India couldn't simply upgrade existing tracks, and what this project means for the country's transport future. 2. India's Aircraft Leasing Push India is trying to reduce its dependence on foreign aircraft leasing hubs by building its own leasing ecosystem at GIFT City. We look at why aircraft leasing has always been dominated by countries like Ireland, the reforms India has introduced, and whether it can become a global aviation finance hub.
