Global investors are cashing out of South Korean stocks: Foreign investors have sold -$22 billion of South Korean stocks so far in May, on track for the largest monthly outflow on record. Year-to-date, overseas investors have offloaded ~$60 billion in KOSPI stocks, on pace for the largest annual sale on record. Most of the sales have been concentrated in Samsung and SK Hynix stocks, with ~$20 billion sold in SK Hynix alone year-to-date, including ~$12 billion so far in May. Since November 2025, foreign investor outflows in SK Hynix have totaled ~$26.7 billion. Global investors are one of the largest owners of South Korean equities, accounting for ~39% of the total KOSPI index market cap. Foreign capital is exiting the world's best-performing market at an unprecedented pace.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently issued a sharp rebuke to the Indian Foreign Service (IFS), expressing dissatisfaction with senior diplomats for their slow, cautious, and narrow approach to international relations. The appointment of Dinesh Trivedi as India’s Ambassador to Bangladesh signaled this shift, highlighting a move toward more strategically calibrated appointments. The core criticism centers on "diplomatic vectoring" a tendency to reduce diplomacy to routine courtesies, cultural events, and bureaucratic rituals rather than substantive strategic engagement. This inertia, observed in both veteran and younger officers, is seen as a structural fault line that hinders India’s global ambitions and doctrine of strategic autonomy. To address this, the government is advocating for a transition to "Smart Power Diplomacy." This model demands a "whole of government" approach, where officers move beyond siloed operations to build deep, resilient networks and actively engineer pathways for India’s strategic and economic interests. The message from the top is clear: the era of "photo op diplomacy" is over. The IFS must now replace bureaucratic routine with intellectual sharpness and purposeful urgency to match India’s accelerating rise on the global stage.

Reliance is not alone. Exide's cells are licensed from SVOLT, Amara Raja's from Gotion and Highstar, Tata's Agratas from AESC — the Chinese-owned maker that has a board seat. Every conglomerate that set out between 2021 and 2023 to build cells has retreated to assembling them.
