oil and natural gas

The oil and gas sector plays a vital role in influencing decision making for all the other important sections of the economy as it is among the eight core industries in India.

The need for oil and gas is projected to grow more in the near future, thereby making the sector quite conducive for investment. To fulfill the increasing demand, government of India has adopted several policies. The government has allowed 100 per cent Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in many segments of the sector, including natural gas, petroleum products, and refineries, among others.

The reports states that India had 4.5 thousand million barrels of proven oil reserves at the end of 2018 and produced 39.5 million tons in 2018. As of 1 April 2019, India had a network of 10,419 km of crude pipeline having a capacity of 145.6 MMTPA.

Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd.’s (ONGC) board has approved an investment of more than $1 billion to build new petrochemical complexes in India as part of the operator’s plan to increase production capacity of its existing petrochemicals portfolio.

Amid projections of a continued waning demand for crude-oil based transportation fuels, ONGC’s board has greenlighted a plan to invest about 1 trillion rupees ($1.2 billion) by 2028 or 2030 on two projects involving construction of two grassroots petrochemical complexes, each of which would be sited in separate Indian states, the operator said in its Nov. 15 quarterly earnings call with investors.

 
 
Huawei has received 5 million pre-orders for its Tri-Fold phone, priced at $2800—essentially the cost of three iPhone 16 Pros. While impressive, it's a price I can't personally justify. I've never spent more than $400 on a phone, and currently, my midrange device costs less than $200, and it meets all my needs.


Why do I need a phone?

For calls, WhatsApp, navigation, and the occasional photo. My Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 does all of that perfectly. So, I don't feel the need for a high-end device.


Ultimately, a phone should serve your needs. If you believe only an iPhone or a premium device fulfills those needs, then that's the right choice for you.
In an interview with Mr. Ren Zhengfei, the founder of Huawei, on official Chinese television, he answered the question of the price of Huawei's cell phones.

Huawei's cell phones have a high premium and have plenty of room for price cuts, but Huawei will not cut prices. Huawei focuses on the high-end market. If Huawei's high-end cell phone price cuts, it will seriously impact the market share of other Chinese cell phone manufacturers. Xiaomi, OPPO, VIVO and other companies will find it difficult to survive.


One very big cost for cell phone makers is royalties. Huawei, on the other hand, does not have to pay any patent costs after the patent exchange. This gives it a huge cost advantage in the Chinese market. If it sells its products at a lower premium, it will be devastating to other Chinese manufacturers.
Huawei has the Nova series for the low-end and mid-range market, but it's not his main focus. If you want to experience Huawei phones but don't want to spend too much money, you can buy Nova series phones.

Does Apple have to pay Huawei any royalties ?
 
Does Apple have to pay Huawei any royalties ?
There is a patent exchange agreement between Apple and Huawei. According to published reports, Apple does have to pay royalties to Huawei, but the exact amount has not been released.

Huawei has the most patents on 5G communication technology. All 5G communication equipment manufacturers in the world are required to pay royalties to Huawei. However, the royalties charged by Huawei are relatively low, much lower than the 4G royalties charged by Ericsson. Meanwhile, Huawei has adopted patent swap agreements with some companies.
Therefore, Huawei does not rely on royalties to make profits.

I see articles where Huawei asked for royalties. I do not see any where Apple paid them. Huawei would be hard pressed to build a high end smartphone without infringing on Apple's patents.

According to the licensing record registration information published by the State Intellectual Property Office of China, Huawei licensed 769 patents to Apple and Apple licensed 98 patents to Huawei. You can check these filings at the State Intellectual Property Office.
The two sides signed a patent exchange agreement, after the patent exchange, Apple to Huawei to pay the patent license fee, but did not publish specific figures. According to the assessment of communications industry professionals, Apple pays Huawei about 60~80 million U.S. dollars per year in patent license fees (please note that this is an assessment of the cost).

In fact, in the field of communications, Apple owns not a lot of core patents. The communications field has the most core patents: Qualcomm, Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei, Motorola, Broadcom and other traditional communications companies. Currently in terms of patent license fees, the highest income is Ericsson.

Huawei has the most patents in 5G. However, Huawei's patent license fees are very low, and it does not rely on patent license fees as the company's main income, but more for exchanging patents. According to Huawei's financial statements, the net income from patent license fees is about 10 billion RMB. This number is negligible compared to Huawei's revenue.

In the field of communication nowadays, Huawei can't do without these patents, but the world can't do without Huawei either. Therefore, even if the U.S. government strongly suppresses Huawei, these companies still have to exchange patents with Huawei.

Sometimes Cross licensing means neither side gets paid. $60-80 million for 180 million handsets is $0.33 per handset
