Mangalore (MRPL) shares climbed sharply after officials confirmed that a sanctioned Russian tanker is heading to Mangalore. The stock touched ₹200.58 on Friday, reflecting an 8.5% rise from the previous close of ₹184.78. The rally followed confirmation that the tanker Aqua Titan will arrive at New Mangalore port on March 21.

MRPL Shares Rally On Tanker Confirmation

MRPL shares gained momentum after a senior government official confirmed the vessel’s destination. The stock traded at ₹196.75 later in the session, posting an 8.8% gain over five trading days. Traders reacted quickly as the news clarified the tanker’s route and cargo details.

Rakesh Kumar Sinha, Special Secretary in the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways, confirmed the tanker’s movement. He said the Aqua Titan is headed to India carrying crude oil. Earlier, officials had stated that they did not know of the vessel’s diversion.

The tanker carried Russia’s Urals crude and had initially sailed toward China. However, it changed course in Southeast Asian waters and redirected toward India. The vessel is now expected to dock at the New Mangalore port on Saturday.

Sanctioned Vessel Changes Course

Australia sanctioned Aqua Titan in June along with 59 other vessels. The Australian government said the ships used deceptive practices such as flag-hopping and disabling tracking systems. The U.K., Canada, the European Union, and Ukraine also sanctioned the tanker.

The United States had earlier imposed 25% tariffs on India for purchasing Russian crude oil. However, President Donald Trump revoked the tariffs after the United States and India signed an interim trade agreement.

The Aqua Titan rerouted to India after the United States allowed imports of Russian crude for 30 days. Officials confirmed that the tanker secured a charter from MRPL before changing course. The vessel’s expected arrival on March 21 now stands as the latest confirmed development in the transaction.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
