British billionaire Sanjeev Gupta says it is important to have new and competitive sources of power generation before ‘legacy generation’ is phased out. Gupta wants the re-elected Coalition government to expand the scope of its underwriting generation scheme, which Australian Competition & Consumer Commission chairman Rod Sims first proposed in 2018 as a way of encouraging new sources of power generation. Gupta, who rescued the Whyalla steelworks from administration in 2017, wants to build electric cars in Australia.

British billionaire Sanjeev Gupta wants to start a business-focused bank in Australia, and is looking at possible acquisition targets. Gupta’s GFG Alliance operates Wyelands Bank in the UK, which targets small and medium businesses, and Gupta says his proposed Australian bank would have a similar focus. Australian Industry Group CEO Innes Willox says such a bank would be welcomed, particularly as borrowing might become harder in the wake of the banking royal commission.
