The issue price is about 26% below the last close, and at two for 25 the new shares add 8% to the share count once fully paid. Because the shares are partly paid, the company receives the money in instalments, not all…
The close shows where a higher policy rate was priced first: capital-heavy metal producers (Hindalco, JSW Steel, Tata Steel) and borrowers' purchases such as vehicles and homes, where loan costs feed straight into…
The split shows where the market places the cost of dearer money: on businesses whose sales depend on financed purchases (vehicles, homes) and on non-bank lenders that borrow wholesale, rather than on banks, whose…
The repo rate sets the price of floating-rate home, vehicle and business loans, so the change reaches banks and non-bank lenders through loan pricing and funding costs, and housing developers and vehicle makers through…
The repo rate feeds straight into floating-rate home, car and small-business loans linked to external benchmarks, so a change reprices a large part of bank and housing-finance loan books within a quarter, while deposit…
For Gabriel India, known for shock absorbers and other ride-control parts, the venture adds a second product line, though as a minority holder it will not consolidate the seating revenue. For Forvia, India is named as…
Retail registrations show what actually left showrooms, as against the factory despatches the carmakers reported on October 1, so they bear on dealer stock at passenger-vehicle, two-wheeler and truck makers and on…
The US is the largest export market for several listed Indian sectors: garments and home textiles, generic drugs, auto components, speciality chemicals, and gems and jewellery. For them the deal decides the tariff they…
The repo rate sets the base for lending and deposit pricing. A hike feeds into floating-rate home, auto and business loans, so banks and NBFCs face shifts in margins and loan demand, while real-estate developers and…
The data shows a split inside the sector. Passenger-vehicle makers posted growth in domestic sales. The tractor business, which depends on rural income, weakened in a deficient monsoon year. Two-wheeler domestic demand…
Farm incomes drive rural spending, the main demand channel for FMCG makers, two-wheeler and tractor manufacturers, and agrochemical and fertiliser companies. Kharif acreage held up close to last year, which cushions…
Versus June, the RBI lifted its growth forecast from 6.6% and trimmed inflation from 5.1%, but a projected 5.9% peak in October-December leaves the MPC little room to ease, so the policy rate that anchors bank lending…
The rate keeps India's tariff at roughly the 10% it paid under the temporary levy and below the 12.5% charged to 43 other economies, so the immediate cost change for exporters is limited. Labour-intensive exporters to…
Zero duty in the UK improves the price competitiveness of Indian apparel and home-textile exporters, seafood processors, leather and footwear makers, auto-component suppliers and engineering firms against rivals that…
Monsoon rain still drives farm incomes and rural spending, so a forecast at the deficient threshold is a direct risk for rural-heavy FMCG companies, tractor and two-wheeler makers, and fertiliser and agrochemical…
The increases shrink daily losses at state-run fuel retailers IOC, BPCL and HPCL, which had been selling below cost, but pass the oil shock on to households and businesses. Diesel drives freight costs for FMCG, cement…
India imports most of its crude, so a spike of this size widens the import bill and current-account deficit, weakens the rupee and lifts fuel and petrochemical costs. State-run fuel retailers such as IOC, BPCL and HPCL…
Cheaper crude is India's main relief channel: it eases costs for fuel retailers, airlines, paint and tyre makers, lowers imported inflation and supports the rupee. Lower bond yields lift banks' treasury values and the…
