India’s scramble for pilots | The Daily Brief #431

In today's episode of The Daily Brief, we cover a two major stories shaping the Indian economy and global markets:

1. India’s Pilot Shortage Isn’t What It Seems
India isn’t actually short of pilots—but it faces a critical shortage of experienced captains and trained personnel. New flying rules, rapid airline expansion, and global competition have increased demand for senior pilots, creating bottlenecks in training, simulators, and upgrades.

2. Coal India’s Hidden Powerhouse Goes Public
Coal India’s technical arm, CMPDI, is launching an IPO—but it’s a complex story. While the company dominates coal consulting with strong margins and deep government ties, its dependence on Coal India, weak cash flows, and uncertain diversification into critical minerals raise important questions for investors.
