Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Monday, January 27, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. US President Donald Trump's "Make in America" initiative aims to revitalize American manufacturing by encouraging companies to establish operations in the US or face higher tariffs on exports. Trump proposes incentives like a low 15% corporate tax rate for domestic manufacturing. This move challenges the existing global manufacturing hubs in Asia, like China and Vietnam, known for their lower costs and extensive supply chains. The impact of Trump's policy could be significant, as it encourages high-tech and sophisticated manufacturing to return to the US. For India, this is a wake-up call to enhance its manufacturing competitiveness. Key issues include outdated technology, high logistics costs, and regulatory complexities. Despite the government's efforts through policies like the productivity-linked incentive scheme, progress is slow. India's investment in R&D is also minimal compared to global standards, affecting innovation. Shelley Singh writes about how Trump's “Make in America” approach will impact India. Indian-American businessman Digvijay Danny Gaekwad's bid to acquire a significant stake in Religare Enterprises for ₹5,000 crore might hit a regulatory snag. Anirudh Laskar reports that Gaekwad's offer, priced at ₹275 per share, is more competitive than the Burman family's offer of ₹235 per share but could violate SEBI's takeover norms due to its timing and the size of the stake sought. SEBI's rules also require a counteroffer to involve more shares than the initial bid. Moreover, there are concerns about the conditions attached to Gaekwad's offer and the clarity around his funding sources. The battle for control is really about Religare's profitable health insurance arm, Care Health Insurance. Religare's chair, Rashmi Saluja, has been resisting the Burmans' attempts to take over the company since the Dabur owners first showed interest in the financial services company in September 2023. Now, with Gaekwad's sudden move, things might get even more tangled.India plans to tighten enforcement on third-party vehicle insurance by linking it to everyday vehicle-related activities. The Union finance ministry is considering measures such as mandatory insurance checks when buying fuel, obtaining FASTags, or renewing driving licenses and pollution control certificates, Subhash Narayan reports. This push comes amid concerns that over half of the vehicles on Indian roads lack third-party insurance, despite the legal requirement under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, which mandates such coverage and prescribes severe penalties for non-compliance. The proposed changes, which are still being finalized, aim to ensure that more vehicles are insured by integrating insurance checks with regular vehicle-related transactions. Motilal Oswal Group is considering selling its housing finance arm, Motilal Oswal Home Finance, which began as Aspire Home Finance Corp in 2014. Currently, the group holds a 97.49% stake in the subsidiary, which has a loan book of Rs 4,098 crore. Shayan Ghosh reports that industry valuations suggest the unit could be worth between Rs 3,612 crore to Rs 5,031 crore, based on its March-end net worth of Rs 1,290 crore. Despite initial asset quality issues, with gross non-performing assets peaking at 9.2% in FY19, the situation has improved significantly, with a gross NPA ratio of 0.86% as of March 2024. The Union budget for FY26 is likely to significantly boost funding for R&D of high-yield hybrid seeds for essential crops like pulses, edible oils, and cotton, to address shortages and reduce import dependency. This move aims to develop climate-resilient seed varieties to increase productivity and improve farmers' incomes. The planned increase in budget allocation reflects a broader effort to improve agricultural outputs amid challenges such as climate change. For instance, cotton imports are expected to rise by 42% this financial year due to falling exports and domestic production issues. Currently, funding for agricultural education is set to rise by 8% in FY25, emphasizing the government's focus on enhancing agricultural capabilities through education and research. Additionally, the government has initiated the release of 109 high-yield crop varieties, expected to reach farmers in three years.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Monday, December 30, 2024. This is Nelson John, let's get started.Several major investors of Religare criticised a PIL that led the Madhya Pradesh High Court to indefinitely stay the company's upcoming annual general meeting. They argued that a takeover of Religare by the Burman family could concentrate ownership and harm minority shareholders. Nehal Chaliawala writes that one executive from a mutual fund said that holding an AGM is an independent matter, and unrelated to regulatory approvals. The AGM was scheduled for December 31. Key leadership issues, particularly those surrounding the chairperson Rashmi Saluja, were slated to be discussed. America's sought-after H-1B visa is doing the rounds after being brought in the limelight by Elon Musk. This visa is essential for hiring specialized foreign workers. Usually, skilled workers from India and China are first in line for such a visa. Shelley Singh writes that Musk's interest in hiring more workers via the H-1B is at loggerheads with President Donald Trump's conservative supporters, who want tighter immigration norms. However, the Indian IT sector is becoming less reliant on the H1-B as more American companies open offices in India.The government wants to cut red tape, and it wants to do it by next year's Union Budget. Gireesh Chandra Prasad reports that the government is identifying regulations that can be relaxed during the Budget to help revive a slowing economy. These rules will directly address concerns of "over regulation" in certain sectors, and will scale back these rules to help India Inc. flourish without having to worry about endless compliance norms. Gireesh identifies two major areas where a streamlined process could do wonders: land and labour laws.If your portfolio includes one of India's top five IT stocks, you probably had a mixed 2024. Revenue growth this past year slowed down, compared to the previous year. Jas Bardia and Varun Sood write that despite this, shares of TCS, Infosys, HCL, and Tech Mahindra performed better than expected. 2025 might bring heavier spending by these companies due to the US Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts. Increased revenues on the back of deflated base numbers would bode well for these IT stocks.It's hiring season for rural India. Devina Sengupta and Suneera Tandon write that India's consumer goods companies are ramping up hiring in rural markets. Rural markets outperformed their urban counterparts this year, leading to this move. There is a higher demand for roles such as van sales representatives, leading to this move. Notable firms like Godrej Consumer Products, Dabur, and ITC are expanding their workforce and introducing more economical options to try and push deeper into the hinterlands. Recruitment firms are reporting a 10-15% increase in hiring by fast-moving consumer goods companies in these areas.
Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Wednesday, December 25, 2024. This is Nelson John, let's get started.The Department of Pharmaceuticals recently penalised AbbVie Healthcare India for allegedly violating the Uniform Code for Pharmaceutical Marketing Practices. AbbVie reportedly spent ₹1.91 crore flying 30 doctors to Paris and Monaco under the guise of a medical conference, including lavish hospitality. The UCPMP, now mandatory, prohibits such expenses unless doctors are speakers at events. AbbVie argued the trips occurred before the March 2024 UCPMP mandate and were compensation for services, but the DoP rejected this and directed the company to spend the same amount on treating poor patients in government hospitals. Further probes by tax authorities and the National Medical Council may follow. Soumya Gupta explains the situation in today's Primer. Packaged goods makers are focusing more on rural markets. Companies like Zydus Wellness, Dabur India, and Godrej Consumer Products have launched affordable packs and brands tailored for these areas. Rural markets are experiencing more growth compared to urban ones, with FMCG volume growth in rural areas at 6%, double that of urban areas at 2.8%, according to NielsenIQ. Godrej Consumer has introduced smaller products like hair colour and incense sticks specifically for rural consumers. Dabur is enhancing its rural distribution and rolling out new innovations. Suneera Tandon reports that rural consumers are embracing branded commodities and dairy products more than before, boosting the FMCG sector, which gets 37% of its sales from these areas.Renewable energy developers are racing against time to complete projects before the inter-state transmission system waiver, which allows free transmission for 25 years, expires on 30 June. This urgency drove a 43% jump in power capacity additions during April-November, with green energy leading the charge. The Central Electricity Authority reports that 14.9 GW of renewable energy—solar, wind, and small hydro—was added during the period, nearly double last year's 7.53 GW. Developers are leveraging favourable solar module prices, revived wind turbine manufacturing, and strong investor interest to meet the deadline. However, industry groups are pushing for an extension of the waiver, Rituraj Baruah reports.Smartphone addiction is pushing brands like Vivo, Oppo, and HMD to embrace digital detox as a selling point. Features like OnePlus's Zen Mode and HMD's Detox Mode help users disconnect by temporarily hiding distracting apps. Vivo's study highlights the problem: parents average 5.5 hours and kids 4.5 hours of daily screen time, with 64% of children feeling addicted. Most kids even think their parents' phones should stick to basics like calling and messaging. Gulveen Aulakh reports on how brands are responding with smarter tools. HMD's Detox Mode makes taking a break easy, while Vivo's devices offer focus modes and screen-time reminders. Feature phones are also being reimagined with essentials like UPI payments to encourage reduced smartphone dependency.This December has been a tough one for markets, with a 1.7% drop so far, making it the second-worst in a decade after 2022's 4% fall. Profit-booking, foreign investor outflows, and IPO-driven sector shifts have hit large-cap stocks, but experts see this as a chance for savvy investors to buy. FPIs have been pulling back, driven by a stronger dollar and valuation concerns, while IPOs have drawn much of the inflow. Yet, December has seen ₹20,071 crore in FPI inflows, signalling some recovery, writes Niti Kiran. Analysts expect IPO momentum to continue into 2025, potentially crossing ₹2 trillion, though inflation and global uncertainties may stir volatility. Historically, December has often been a positive month for markets, with gains in three out of every four years. Despite current challenges, local buying and January optimism could stabilize markets, keeping December's reputation for resilience alive.
Ever since the pandemic, the world of skincare has witnessed nothing short of a revolution. Almost overnight, that jar of Ponds cold cream that had stood the test of time on dressing tables across the country was replaced by elaborate six-step skincare routines. The legacy brands we grew up with – the likes of Loreal, Ponds, Johnson and Johnson – were dethroned almost overnight. In their place came an explosion of new brands. Today, everyone wants some skin in the game. Traditional FMCG companies like Tata, Marico, Dabur and Godrej all want in. So much so, that it's hard to keep a tab on the list of D2C skincare brands available in the market now. But what does it take to launch a skincare brand? Turns out, not a lot. All you need is a contract manufacturer, 30 days, and a penchant for marketing. Tune in. We are hosting our first live recording!

-Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are the top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of August 1 -It's yet another day of waiting for the Nifty to cross 25,000. Nifty and 25,000 are now separated by 49 points. It still seems a long way away considering the index came within 0.2 points of that on Monday, 30 points on Tuesday and 16 points on Wednesday but could not cross that landmark. 24,984 was the high made by the Nifty on Wednesday and that now becomes the first hurdle to cross on Thursday for the Nifty. -Global cues are important today as the US Federal Reserve has kept interest rates unchanged but Chair Jerome Powell said that a rate cut in September is "on the table" provided that data continues to be as encouraging as it currently is. -Wall Street cheered the Fed commentary with the S&P 500 marking its best day since February this year, while the Nasdaq ended with gains of over 2%. -This morning in Asia, equities and US futures were broadly higher on firming signs that the Federal Reserve will soon cut interest rates. Japanese stocks fell to reflect a stronger yen. Equities in Australia and South Korea rose alongside Hong Kong share futures. Contracts for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 both climbed to compound Wednesday's advances ignited by a tech rally. -In terms of commodities, oil prices rose in early Asian trading, extending strong gains in the previous session after the killing of a Hamas leader in Iran raised the threat of a wider Middle East conflict and on signs of strong oil demand in the U.S. Global benchmark Brent crude futures rose 0.8%, to $81.51 per barrel this morning. -Back home, Nifty ended the month of July with gains of 3.9%, following up a 6.6% advance in June. August generally has been a positive month for the Nifty as it has delivered positive returns in three out of the last four years. Last year saw the index fall 2.5%, but gained 3.5% in 2022, 8.7% in 2021 and 2.8% in 2020. -The first day of the new month will also be the weekly options expiry of the Nifty 50 contracts. -Stock to track: Infosys, Coal India, Tata Steel, Bank of Baroda, Prestige Estates, Phoenix Mills, Relaxo Footwear -Earnings: Adani Enterprises, Adani Ports, Sun Pharma, ITC, Tata Motors, Dabur, Kalyan Jewellers, Thermax, Tube Investments, HPL Electric and Power, and Godrej Agrovet -The Gift Nifty was trading 0.02% ahead of the Nifty futures' Wednesday close, implying a flat start for the market today.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the important updates ahead of the trading session of July 8 -All of last week on the Nifty was dominated by two stocks and one theme. The two stocks being Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank, while IT was the theme that continued to hog the limelight. If one took the market higher, the other ensured that the gains were kept in check and vice versa. -Now today, multiple stocks will react to their quarterly business updates that were reported on Friday and over the weekend such as Titan, IndusInd Bank, Marico, Dabur and others. -Earnings season also begins in the upcoming week with TCS reporting results on July 11, followed by HCLTech on July 12. -Asia-Pacific markets opened mixed this morning as investors awaited key economic data from the US and China later this week, while election results in France overnight signaled a hung parliament. -Investors await the U.S. consumer price index reading, due Thursday stateside, to assess the Federal Reserve's interest rate path, while China's inflation figures on Wednesday will signal the state of the country's economic recovery. -On Friday in the US, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite rose to new highs, with both indexes posting a record close as the latest jobs report reignited hopes for rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. The broad market index advanced half a percent, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq gained almost a percent whereas the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.17%. - Workers' union at Samsung Electronics in South Korea is set to stage a three-day strike from Monday and has warned it could take further action against the country's most powerful conglomerate at a later date. -Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to meet President Vladimir Putin in Moscow today, marking his first visit to the Kremlin since the invasion of Ukraine. Their meeting is significant as it's the Indian premier's first bilateral trip overseas since he was reelected for a rare third term in June. -Heavy rainfall has lashed Mumbai, the financial capital and its surrounding areas overnight, and continued early in the morning. Many parts across the city are waterlogged, while the western express highway witnessed traffic congestion even before 7 am, including the roads leading to terminals 1 and 2 of the Mumbai airport. Local trains, the lifelines of Mumbai, were running late due to waterlogging and CSMT, Kurla-Vikhroli and Bhandup were among the most-affected stations.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Friday, June 21, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:Indian benchmark indices, Nifty and Sensex, opened at record levels and touched new highs during the session before ending the day marginally higher, with Sensex up 0.18 percent and Nifty up 0.22 percent.From next June, every new smartphone and tablet sold in India will need to have a USB-C charging port so that consumers can charge all their devices with just one type of charger. The rule, which will include laptops by 2026, is part of India's efforts to align itself with global standards set by the European Union to enhance convenience and reduce waste.The new rule doesn't apply to feature phones and wearables for now, but it's a big step in the right direction. The Indian government said it plans to enforce the new standard vigorously. Companies that fail to comply will face penalties under the Consumer Protection Act, Mint's Dhirendra Kumar and Gulveen Aulakh report. There's also a push for makers of basic phones and other devices to voluntarily adopt USB-C ports, which would further unify charging standards. Leading smartphone makers such as Xiaomi and Oppo have already voiced their support.Sebi has issued a stern directive to Religare Enterprises Ltd, ordering it to comply with securities law. The development unfolded as the Burman family, promoters of Dabur, made moves to increase their stake in Religare through an open offer.Sebi instructed Religare's chairperson Rashmi Saluja and the board to seek necessary approvals from the Reserve Bank of India within a week. The action highlights Sebi's concerns about Religare's attempts to obstruct the open offer by the Burmans, who are significant stakeholders in Religare through various family-owned entities. Sebi intervened despite resistance from Religare – which expressed doubt about the Burmans' ability to improve the company's management – highlighting the importance of adhering to the proper procedures in an acquisition. Mint's Ranjani Raghavan and Neha Joshi report.Apple and Google are diving deep into generative AI, and making smartphones more capable in the process. Apple recently announced ‘Apple Intelligence', a set of tools that will allow iPhones, iPads and Macs to perform tasks such as transcribing calls, crafting emails, and generating images and emoticons. Google rolled out similar capabilities last September, and Samsung also offers similar AI features on its top-tier devices. However, not all AI tasks are processed on the device itself. Apple's Siri will soon be able to handle simple queries on-device but could tap OpenAI's ChatGPT for more complex requests. Google's Pixel phones and Samsung's devices need internet connections to access hefty AI models stored in the cloud.For now, these cutting-edge AI features are limited to premium models. Apple's AI suite is exclusive to its 15 Pro and Pro Max iPhones, while Google and Samsung have integrated AI into their latest devices, with potential expansions on the horizon. What's next for smartphones as tech giants throw their hats in the AI ring? Mint's tech correspondent Souvik Das has the answers in today's Primer.Omnichannel furniture retailer Pepperfry ventured into the furniture rental market in 2017, tapping the ‘sharing economy' vibe that appealed to India's young urbanites. At the time, the company estimated that the market could one day be worth $1 billion a year. Despite a promising start, Pepperfry ended its rental services in 2019, saying the market was too niche.There are still 157 companies worldwide that employ the rental model, including Indian firms such as Rentomojo and Furlenco. But most are still small, thanks to a complex market with overestimated potential. For instance mattress company Wakefit, which started in 2016, later ventured into furniture and saw revenue rise to 813 crore rupees by 2023. Rentomojo made 121 crore that year. These companies face plenty of challenges, from complex logistics to quality issues, and many renters have endured poor service and delayed pickups. Some companies are adapting by diversifying into appliances and electronics, while others are focusing on logistics to improve their services. Mint's startup correspondent Priyamvada C takes dives deep into the workings of furniture rental startups in today's Long Story.India is facing a brutal heatwave, with the Health Ministry reporting 110 heatstroke-related deaths and more than 40,000 suspected cases as of June 18. Most of the victims are in rural areas, where many people work outdoors and have limited access to healthcare. Madhya Pradesh has recorded the most heatstroke cases, followed by Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh, while Uttar Pradesh has seen the most deaths, reports Mint's Puja Das.We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

India is shocked with the alarming price hike of tomatoes, which have risen to a whopping Rs 200 per kilo across marketplaces. This dramatic price increase, more than five times the cost of last year, has shifted the attention away from onions and potatoes and towards tomatoes. Notably, the steep price increase has forced fast food major McDonald's to remove tomatoes off their menus in certain locations. Tomatoes are now more expensive than a litre of gasoline, placing them on level with fruits like apples and plums in terms of pricing.

The trading session on Thursday was definitely a very good one for the Indian benchmark indices. The market surged to another record high. The Nifty has now posted a record close for the sixth-straight session, extending its gaming streak to eight consecutive sessions and has rallied 865 points in eight sessions and has crossed 19,500 on an intra-day basis yesterday. The midcaps outperformed, with the advanced decline ratio steady at around 2 to 1 on a year-to-day basis. The midcaps have given returns of around 15%. All the gains came in on Thursday despite caution over the FOMC minutes. FIIs continued to buy into the Indian equity markets. They bought around Rs 2,641 crore in yesterday's trading session. DIIs however sold Rs 2,351 crore. Today, the set up in the global space seems weak because the US markets closed in the red. Asia is largely weak at this point in time reacting to the US markets. Meanwhile, the GIFT Nifty is indicating a bit of a flat start. It seems as though India is de marketing itself and moving away from what the global markets are doing, whether or not this trend continues is something that the Street will watch out for. As of now, we have a couple of important cues such as the healthy FII flows, the monsoon progress, Q1 progress from companies, which seems to be aiding momentum. 1:49Remember we also have updates from consumer facing companies such as Titan, Dabur, etc, All these stocks would be in focus in today's trading session. The other big queue is the US non-farm payrolls data as well as the unemployment data, which are due today and which we will be reacting to on Monday.

Over the last couple of years, we all seem to have been the witnesses of some kind of acceleration of history, with the Covid-19 pandemic and the various policies it triggered, the uncertain economic landscape with a global recession now followed by inflation and global supply chain issues, increased natural disasters resulting from global warming, Brexit taking effect, the war in Ukraine, and the myriad of social movements and protests in relation to these events and other social issues. At the very same time, innovation and market potentials keep expanding, with technologies such social media and targeted advertising, AI and data mining, blockchain and crypto currencies, becoming increasingly powerful and available to businesses and consumers alike.How are these extreme circumstances impacting large groups and traditional, legacy brands, as challenges to overcome but also opportunities to evolve? To what extent such brands are playing a part in all these social events, beyond being only on the receiving end? Our guest today is Mohit Malhotra, Chief Executive Officer of Dabur India Limited, the leading Indian Herbal & Ayurvedic Personal Care Group founded 138 years ago, one of the top four FMCG companies in India. While Mohit has been CEO since 2018, he has been with the Dabur group for almost 30 years. He previously served as CEO of Dabur International Ltd., one of the group's subsidiaries, and prior to that held various sales and marketing positions including Head of Marketing at Dabur India Ltd. He has been ranked in Forbes Middle East's list of Arab World's leading Indian Executives, for several years.

While working with US supermarket chain Safeway late in the first decade of this century, a young Prashant Parameswaran witnessed Peruvian ‘Quinoa' exploding in popularity to achieve superfood status in the country. Taking cue from this trend, Parameswaran asked himself if there was a way to make ancient millets like ragi, jowar and bajra relevant and popular in India again. Thus was born millet-based breakfast cereal and snack brand Soulfull, which Parameswaran started in 2011 upon returning to India. Before being acquired by Tata Consumer Products in 2021, Soulfull had placed itself as a niche brand with a strong focus on reinventing millets in a modern format. With a turnover of 39 crore rupees in FY20, Soulfull was reaching over 12,000 outlets by establishing a strong presence in select urban markets. Soulfull is among the several small brands with unique product propositions that have become targets for established FMCG companies. These are largely digital-first D2C companies that bypass the conventional method of multi-tier distribution structure, enabling faster go-to-market speed and greater control over customer data and experience. Over the past five years, legacy players have made a slew of investments in D2C startups. Marico has acquired men's grooming brand Beardo, beauty brand Just Herbs and breakfast brand True Elements. Similarly, Emami acquired vegan cosmetics brand Brillare Science and grooming brand The Man Company. It recently picked up a minority stake in nutrition company TruNativ. Colgate-Palmolive and Reckitt both hold minority stakes in Bombay Shaving Company, whereas Wipro Consumer Care has invested in The Ayurveda Company. ITC has invested in baby and mother care brands Mother Sparsh and Mylo. [Byte of Devangshu Dutta, CEO, Third Eyesight] New brands struggle to find shelf-space in modern trade and traditional retail channels. For them the growth of digital customers has enabled targeting specific customer segments and needs which are ignored by the established FMCG companies as being too small. Once they achieve a certain visibility and scale they become interesting to the larger companies, since rolling out the brands over the larger, physical footprint becomes more feasible. Incumbent players are either acquiring prominent D2C brands or choosing the organic route of launching their own brands online and building their own D2C platforms to reduce their reliance on marketplaces. Marico is working on a ‘house of brands' strategy by creating a portfolio of D2C companies through a mix of organic and inorganic routes. Meanwhile, Dabur estimates that its online-only D2C brands will cross 100 crore rupees in sales this fiscal. ITC currently sells over 700 products through its D2C store platform. D2C brands are estimated to become a $60 billion industry by FY27, growing at a CAGR of about 40%. At present D2C is a $12 billion market (above image). Institutional funding is helping D2C brands scale rapidly, with several of them crossing the 100-crore-rupee revenue mark within 3-5 years of launch. But what does this say about the ability of legacy FMCG companies to innovate? [Byte of Devangshu Dutta, CEO, Third Eyesight] Analysts say the strong background of founders of D2C companies, who are well-educated and armed with work experience in reputed firms, is an important factor in the success of such brands. The boom of D2C brands was supported by the development of logistic partners and the adoption of online payments. Improving digital penetration and high growth in e-commerce will help going ahead. D2C brands in the Beauty and Personal Care (BPC) and Food & Refreshments (F&R) space focus on niche ingredients and products, targeted at sub-categories ignored by established brands. Attractive packaging and strong digital marketing capabilities are key tailwinds for D2C brands. Such startups wanting to scale beyond a point will see their interest

Sri Lanka is in a crisis. Covid-19 has sent the economy into a tailspin, and it is in free fall now. Its Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe recently said that the country's economy has “collapsed”. The spillover of the crisis has reached Indian shores too. ITC has said that its first foreign venture in the hotel space has been hit. Earlier, the 300-million-dollar project in Colombo saw construction being impacted due to the 2019 terror incidents and then the pandemic. In April, a financial daily had reported that automotive firms like Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Ashok Leyland, and TVS Motors had stopped exports of vehicle kits to Sri Lanka and halted production at their Sri Lankan assembly units due to its precarious forex reserves and fuel shortages. According to an India Briefing note by Dezan Shira & Associates, instability in Sri Lanka could affect Indian Oil, Airtel, Taj Hotels, Dabur, Ashok Leyland, Tata Communications, Asian Paints, and State Bank of India. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka's share in India's total exports has declined from 2.16 per cent in FY15 to just 1.3 per cent in the first 10 months of FY22. India's export to Sri Lanka is now nowhere near the 6.7 billion dollars seen in 2014-15. Till January 2022, it stood at 4.49 billion dollars in FY22. But there is a silver lining too. Since Sri Lanka has been the world's largest supplier of orthodox tea, calls to Indian planters and exporters from foreign buyers of the commodity are pouring in. Big Sri Lankan importers from Iran, Turkey, Iraq, and Russia are reportedly visiting Kolkata and tea plantations in Assam. As a result, at recent Kolkata auctions, the average price for orthodox leaf saw an increase of up to 41 per cent compared to corresponding sales last year. And, the fuel shortage in Lanka is crippling its apparel sector too. According to the US International Trade Administration, the apparel export industry accounts for about 44% of the country's total exports. Many apparel orders from the UK, EU, and Latin American countries are now being diverted to India. Several orders have been given to companies in Tirupur, the hub of the textile industry in Tamil Nadu. Sri Lanka has been a strategically important partner for India. Even as some of our businesses are hit, and some try to fill the void created by the Sri Lankan crisis, India's assistance in this time of need will only lead to better ties with the island nation that has long been leaning towards the Chinese camp.

Rising input costs triggered by soaring crude oil prices have dented sentiment of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) stocks over the past few weeks. Considered a defensive bet in a turbulent market, investors dumped these counters even as the overall market sentiment remained choppy. This was due to surging crude oil prices, which triggered an upward march in prices of most raw materials used by FMCG companies, which could chip away their margins. Over the last quarter, prices of commodities like palm oil, crude oil and SMP (skimmed milk powder) are up 23 – 42%. At the bourses, the S&P BSE FMCG index has lost nearly 5 per cent as compared to over 3 per cent fall in the S&P BSE Sensex. If analysts are to be believed, there could be more pain ahead for these stocks as crude prices continue to rise amid the geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine. After a four-and-half month freeze, the government bit the bullet and has started to hike prices of petrol and diesel gradually, which analysts say could fuel inflation and force consumers to cut back on their purchases. Besides, the upward revision of fuel prices would also translate into higher freight costs and keep rural demand under pressure. On their part, FMCG companies plan to hike product prices yet again to cope with the rising raw materials cost. But, industry incumbents and dealer/distributors have highlighted that Q4 saw further moderation in rural demand due to price hikes. Urban markets, too, witnessed some demand slowdown. "Rise in key input costs is a concern, especially for staple, paint & QSR firms; we expect product price hikes despite which, margins are at risk,” says Jefferies. Instead of a recovery in gross margins in fiscal 2022-23 (FY23), Jefferies now builds-in 50-200 basis point (bps) YoY decline, assuming crude prices stay closer to $100 a barrel and palm oil at $1,500 per metric tonne in FY23. At the fundamental level GCPL, HUL, ITC, Colgate, Devyani International and Zomato are Jefferies's top picks in the FMCG space. Mumbai-based Antique Stock broking is bullish on HUL, Dabur and ITC.

Inflation has soared past 17%. People are dying while waiting in queues for fuel, and authorities are scrapping school exams after running out of dollars to import paper and ink. Sri Lanka is going through its worst economic crisis since its Independence. And the ripples are now being felt in India too. Driven out by hunger and loss of jobs, people from the island nation are seeking refuge in India, which is doing its best to help the neighbouring country. India has extended financial assistance to the tune of $2.4 billion in the last three months to Sri Lanka, which includes a $400 billion RBI currency swap, deferral of a $500 million loan and a $1.5-billion credit line for importing fuel, food and medicines. In addition to an International Monetary Fund Bailout, the southern neighbour has sought credit support of $2.5 billion from China. The island has been facing daily power cuts and double-digit inflation, which hit 17.5% in February. The Sri Lankan central bank allowed the local currency to devalue by 30% in a month. The crisis has been mainly caused by a shortage of foreign exchange reserves. They have plummeted 70% in two years to just $2 billion at the end of February, which can barely cover two months of imports. Meanwhile, the country has foreign debt obligations of about $7 billion this year. The forex crisis is the result of several factors. Tourism, which is the country's third-largest foreign exchange earner, came to a virtual halt after the 2019 Easter Sunday suicide bombings which killed more than 250 people. Tourist arrivals dropped by as much as 70%. And then the pandemic struck, dealing a severe blow to the tourism industry. And remittances from foreign workers, which is the nation's biggest source of dollars, slumped 22.7% to $5.5 billion in 2021. The country's heavy dependence on imports for essential goods like sugar, pharmaceuticals, fuel, pulses and cereals worsened the crisis. The government's ban on chemical fertilizers last April as it looked to become the first country to fully adopt organic farming backfired. A survey showed that 90% of Sri Lanka's farmers used chemical fertilisers for cultivation. The move led to a drastic drop in domestic food production, pushing up food prices. The decision was rolled back after months of mass protests by farmers but the damage was done. Food inflation soared to 25.7% in February. The crisis is now starting to impact Indian exporters. Thousands of containers sent from India to Sri Lanka, including for its own consumption as well as trans-shipment cargo, have been lying uncleared at Colombo port as authorities can't afford to transfer containers between terminals. This, in turn, has led to some build-up of cargo intended for Sri Lanka at Indian ports. India also relies considerably on Colombo port for global trade given it is a transhipment hub. 60% of India's trans-shipment cargo is handled by the port. India-linked cargo, in turn, accounts for 70% of the port's total trans-shipment volume. India has traditionally been among Sri Lanka's largest trade partners. Prior to the pandemic, India was the top tourism source for Sri Lanka. More than one-fifth of Sri Lanka's total imports come from India. India is also one of the largest contributors to Foreign Direct Investment in Sri Lanka. FDI from India amounted to about $1.7 billion from 2005 to 2019. After China and the UK, India was the biggest source of FDI for Sri Lanka in 2019 at $139 million. The main investments from India are in the areas of petroleum retail, tourism and hotel, manufacturing, real estate, telecommunication, banking and financial services. A number of leading companies from India have invested and established their presence in Sri Lanka. These include Indian Oil, Airtel, Taj Hotels, Dabur, Ashok Leyland, Tata Communications, Asian Paints, SBI and ICICI Bank. Although Sri Lanka holds minor importance to India in terms of trade, it is a geopoliti
In tatters due to prolonged pandemic, the global supply chain was recovering when Russia struck Ukraine with all its might. Last week, the 145-year-old London Metal Exchange was forced to suspend nickel trading and cancel trades after prices doubled overnight to $100,000 a tonne amid a market panic triggered by Russia's actions. The exchange described the current events as unprecedented. Russia accounts for 10% of global nickel supply, 6% of the aluminium output and 18% of wheat exports. Aluminium, copper, zinc, lead, crude oil, wheat, natural gas, coal and edible oils are some of the commodities that have been on the boil as traders feared supply disruptions on account of the Russia-Ukraine war. With the price of metals and plastics used in appliances and consumer durables shooting up, several manufacturers had already effected price hikes last year. They are gearing up for another round now. Usha International, which sells fans, cooking appliances, sewing machines and water heaters, said the company may have to pass on price increases to the tune of 10-15% in April. FMCG companies too are preparing to pass on higher input costs. Hindustan Unilever hiked prices across its portfolio of products by 3-13% in multiple tranches in February, with the sharpest increase of 13% seen in the 100 gm Lux soap pack. Crude oil derivatives and vegetable oil are key raw materials used in making soaps, cosmetics and detergents. Dabur India CEO Mohit Malhotra recently highlighted continued inflation in hydrocarbon derivatives, paper-based packing material, raw honey and spices. He said Dabur undertook calibrated price increases of about 5% in key products. The sharp price increase in all major commodities is hurting every step of a company's supply chain, from manufacturing to packaging to distribution. Although commodity inflation is not expected to cool down anytime soon, demand is still holding up led by the post-COVID economic recovery. However, private consumption could turn sluggish again as it faces headwinds from soaring commodity prices. Watch video

On the third anniversary of decriminalisation of same sex relations on 6 September, Axis Bank announced new policies for employees and customers from the LGBTQIA+ community. This included a provision for queer couples to open a joint account. But when Anisha Sharma and Bhakti Chachada went to do just that almost two months later, nobody at the bank knew what they were talking about. Around that same time, Dabur released a Karwa Chauth ad for their Fem Gold bleach cream featuring two women fasting for each other. It was ultimately taken down after objections from Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra. But the queer community was not happy with the advertisement either. On this episode of Pride & Prejudice, reporter Suryatapa Mukherjee speaks to Anisha, Bhakti, and Gaysi Family editor Tejaswi, to find out how brands get things wrong when marketing to the queer community.

Succumbing to lacklustre global sentiments, domestic indices failed to gain ground oscillating between gains and losses in today's rough session. While metal, oil and commodity stocks dragged, realty, PSU bank and consumer durables made frail attempts at lifting the indices. Overall, the BSE Sensex index ended 109 points lower at 60,029. The NSE Nifty, on the other hand, settled with a loss of 41 points at 17,889. Both the indices had hit a high of 60,421 and 18,012 in the intra-day deals. Tata Steel, down 3.5 per cent, was the top loser among the Sensex 30 stocks, followed by Tech Mahindra, HCL Technologies, IndusInd Bank, Reliance, Dr.Reddy's, PowerGrid Corporation, Nestle India and Asian Paints. On the positive front, Maruti Suzuki (up 2 per cent), NTPC, Titan, SBI and Larsen & Toubro were the top gainers. The broader markets outperformed the key benchmark indices for a second day with a huge margin. The BSE Midcap index was up 0.6 per cent at 25,869, and the Smallcap index surged 1.1 per cent to 28,607. The overall market breadth was also fairly positive, with 1,952 advancing shares as against 1,301 declining stocks on the BSE. Within the space, shares of Allcargo Logistics were locked at the 20 per cent upper circuit at Rs 328.95, also its fresh life-time high, on the BSE on Tuesday, after the company reported 355 per cent year-on-year (YoY) jump in consolidated net profit at Rs 264 crore in September quarter (Q2FY22). Shares of Bayer CropScience, on the other hand, hit a 52-week low of Rs 4,630, down 8 per cent on the BSE in Tuesday's intra-day trade after the company reported 31 per cent year-on-year (YoY) decline in net profit at Rs 154.10 crore Q2FY22. Meanwhile, it was a results heavy day for the markets with scores of large corporates announcing their Sept quarter results today. Indian pharmaceutical major, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, declared a profit after tax of Rs 2,047 crore for the quarter ended in September, up 12.9 per cent compared to Rs 1,813 crore reported in the same quarter in 2020. Strong operating performance and healthy revenue growth supported the bottomline during the quarter. HPCL, on the other hand, reported a 7.2 percent jump in the September quarter standalone net profit at Rs 1,923.51 crore. Operationally, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) were down 5.6 per cent at Rs 3,012.2 crore while margin was down at 3.6 per cent QoQ. Dabur, too, reported a 5 per cent YoY rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 505.3 crore and a 12 per cent YoY growth in revenue at Rs 2,817.6 crore. Similarly, the company's EBITDA grew by 9 per cent to Rs 620.7 crore as compared to Rs 569.4 crore in Q2FY21, while the margin slipped to 22 per cent from 22.6 per cent YoY. As regards the initial public offers, Fino Payments Bank closed the issue with nearly 2 times subscription. Meanwhile, Policybazaar, Sigachi Industries, and SJS Enterprises commanded subscription levels of 69 per cent, 20.15 times, and 46 per cent, respectively, till 3:40 PM. Separately, logistics startup Delhivery filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus with Sebi, for an issue size of Rs 7,460 crore. The primary issue will be of Rs 5,000 crore, which the company will raise via public issue. The offer for sale by the existing investors will be Rs 2,460 crore. Further, Sapphire Foods India, which operates KFC and Pizza Hut outlets, on Tuesday said it has fixed a price band of Rs 1,120-1,180 a share for its Rs 2,073-crore initial public offering (IPO). The initial share-sale will open on November 9 and conclude on November 11. Coming to Wednesday's trading session, markets will eye the outcome of the US Federal Reserve's two-day monetary policy meeting.

As the auspicious occasion of Dhanteras marks the beginning of pre-Diwali festivities today, jewellers are expecting stronger sales. Industry players are expecting customers to spend and invest in jewellery for asset building after two years of uncertainty. People too are thronging the jewellery shops as the Covid-19 pandemic is almost in check and so are the gold prices. The data backs the hopes. According to a recent report by World Gold Council, the demand for gold jewellery in India surged 58 per cent year-on-year to 96.2 tonnes during the July-September quarter due to a strong pent-up demand, bouncing back sharply from the lows seen during the pandemic in 2020. In a recent interview with Business Standard, Somasundaram PR, India managing director of WGC, said: “We expect this quarter to be one of the best in recent years, benchmarked to pre-Covid-19 seasons. Pent-up demand, soft prices and good monsoon, combined with easing of lockdown across regions, bode well for a strong surge in demand.” So, is the jewellery demand set to skyrocket during the current festive season? Should you invest in the related stocks to add sparkle to your portfolio? Well, if tech charts are anything to go buy, the bullish momentum in related stocks is intact despite over 100 per cent returns since last Dhanteras. Titan Company Likely target: Rs 3,000 Upside potential: 25% Support: Rs 2,300 Goldiam International Likely target: Rs 1,150 to 1,220 Upside potential: 22% to 24% Support: Rs 900 Thangamayil Jewellery Likely target: Rs 1,650 Upside potential: 11% Support: Rs 1,080 and Rs 1,200 Kalyan Jewellers India Likely target: Rs 82 and Rs 90 Upside potential: 5.50% to 16% Support: Rs 73 While shares of Titan Company, Thangamayil Jewellery and Goldiam International have more than doubled during the period, they are expected to rally up to 25 per cent from here on. Sector giant Titan, for instance, is on course to hit the Rs 3,000 mark, which is a 25 per cent upside from current levels. Those of Goldiam International, meanwhile, can rally 24 per cent to Rs 1,220 levels. Thangamayil and Kalyan Jewellers are also eyeing up to 16 per cent return over the medium term. Clearly, cooled off prices and sticky inflation have put the spotlight on gold investment as a hedging strategy. And if the demand outlook for the yellow metal is strong, related stocks in the equity segment should remain on investor radar. Now, apart from jewellery stocks, investors may also keep a tab on shares of Bharti Airtel, Bank of India, Dabur, Godrej Properties, and HPCL as these companies are some of the prominent firms slated to report their September quarter earnings later today. Within the lot, Sunil Mittal-led Bharti Airtel is expected to post an impressive sequential growth in net profit for the July-September quarter on the back of a steady subscriber base and tariff hike in select pre- and post-paid plans. While ARPU, or average revenue per user, is expected to rise 5-7 per cent sequentially, the Street anticipates the revenue to rise around 9 per cent year-on-year. Net profit, meanwhile, is projected to come anywhere between Rs 675 crore and Rs 774 crore. That apart, primary market action will also keep investors on their toes today. Initial public offering of Policybazaar, Sigachi Industries, and SJS Enterprises will enter second day today while that of Fino Payments Bank will close later in the day. Globally, the US Federal Reserve will begin its two-day monetary policy meeting late evening today with an outcome due tomorrow. Yesterday, markets reversed their 3-day losing streak led by renewed buying interest in IT and select financial shares. The BSE Sensex reclaimed the 60,000 mark, and settled with a gain of 831 points at 60,138. The NSE Nifty, on the other hand, ended 258 points higher at 17,930. In the broader markets, the BSE MidCap index surged 1.8 per cent, while the SmallCap index moved up 1.1 per cent.
India Policy Watch #1: What Outrage Means Insights on burning policy issues in India— RSJLast week while writing about the Fabindia Diwali ad and the accompanying outrage, I wrote that this ‘arms race of purity’ might become a familiar feature in our cultural landscape. This week we got this:“Homegrown FMCG player Dabur has withdrawn its advertisement on Karva Chauth showing a lesbian couple celebrating the festival in the ad campaign of its Fem Creme bleach and has issued unconditionally apology.After facing backlash on social media platforms and also from a politician from the ruling BJP, the company has withdrawn the ad campaign.In the same week, Bajrang Dal activists vandalised the set and assaulted the director and crew members of the web series Aashram because it ‘defamed the Hindu religion’. There are a few larger questions I have about this phenomenon. Before I come to them, let’s look at this Dabur ad issue a bit more. The ad uses the classic “traditional plot with a twist” approach to make it stand out amidst the clutter. A karwa chauth ad with a lesbian couple must have checked all the boxes in the minds of the marketers at Dabur. It was topical and it celebrated diversity. The recent Cadbury’s Dairy Milk campaign that went viral where it switched the gender roles of its classic ads of the 90s is a good example of this approach. The new ad had the girl hitting a last-ball six while her boyfriend danced onto the pitch. So, here’s a thought experiment: what if Cadbury’s had made the same ad with a same-sex couple? Would that have created the same outrage as the Dabur karwa chauth ad? I suspect there would have been some but nothing of the kind we saw with the Dabur ad. There are more than a few ads and TV shows right now featuring same-sex couples. In fact, the statement of the BJP leader who threatened legal action against the ad is useful to quote here:"In future they will show two men taking 'feras' (marrying each other according to Hindu rituals)." I suspect the issue becomes fraught when Hindu rituals are involved. I have argued in previous editions that the way ideologies are understood in India are different from their original conception. A liberal is used for a left-leaning activist kind instead of someone believing in individual rights and consent. People call themselves conservative that is, those who value order, custom and self-directed change in society, while they champion bigoted views and radical changes that will usher in an ‘ideal society’. They do so without any sense of irony. An absence of ideological clarity is a feature of our democracy. Ideological ConfusionNow, if I were an Indian conservative, how would I look at the Dabur ad? Sure, I would wince a bit at the lesbian angle. After all, to me, marriage is a social institution and it is solemnised between a woman and a man. But then I would also reluctantly acknowledge that same-sex relationship is now accepted in many societies. It has a legal sanction in India. Maybe then as a true conservative, I will look at the ad again. Sure it shows lesbians but they are also following a tradition that I hold dear. The ad upholds my belief that individualism has to be grounded by custom and tradition. That social cohesion will be preserved only if we adhere to our cultural mores. So, I would welcome an ad that co-opts a new generation into this tradition. But that’s not how the so-called conservatives behaved. What explains this? The simple answer is that it’s about outrage, not so much about the tradition. It is about using another incident to strengthen the narrative that there are insidious forces who will destroy sanatan dharma if we aren’t forever vigilant. And you can only trust us to protect you from these forces. Today it is a lesbian couple following the karwa chauth ritual that’s seen as a threat to the faith. Tomorrow it could be a straight woman in the ad but without a bindi. The reason for outrage doesn’t really matter. The narrative that religion is under threat is what is important. So, the far-fetched notion that marketing teams and ad agencies working for Fabindia or Dabur are either anti-Hindu or part of some global conspiracy. Not the obvious reality that almost every lever of power is now controlled by those of your ideological slant. That’s not enough. There are still some mythical powerful people who are brainwashing our young. Not the obvious reality that the young in these companies and their customers are slowly changing and accepting of diversity on their own like a conservative would have preferred. There is no real respect for tradition or for how society is changing itself. It is just another opportunity to play an imaginary victim card and keep the narrative of Hinduism in danger for future electoral gains. Thinking About CultureBeyond these specific instances, there are a few questions that come to my mind as I look at the cultural landscape in India. First, we often use the Breitbart doctrine - politics is the downstream of culture - around here. Like we have written before, there is a long history to this idea before Breitbart. Anyway, there’s an obvious counter to the Breitbart doctrine that comes up after seeing instances like these - isn’t politics influencing culture here? Hasn’t culture now become downstream of politics? The way to think about this is that the Breitbart doctrine is focused on the outcome. The outcome always is about a politics different from what it is today. So, yes, the politician in MP who threatened legal action against the ad was trying to influence culture today. But his goal is to create a kind of politics tomorrow that’s narrower and more bigoted than today. How your culture is changing today is still the best indicator of the kind of politics you will get tomorrow. Going by the spate of fake outrage about ads and TV shows, the future of politics doesn’t look promising.Second, there’s another point that’s made when issues like these come up. No one votes on such issues and these are some fringe elements trying to get into a news cycle. Don’t overread this. I agree, with a caveat. Usually, these are indeed isolated instances of people coercing others to their point of view with limited success except when those doing this hold the levers of power. Then the consequences are both real and long-term. They cannot be likened to an equally stupid outrage by the other side who hold almost no power even if they are vocal. To take the US case, the QAnon and other right-wing crazy ideas can find support on social media but there are hardly people holding power in government, universities or corporates who believe in them. But ‘wokeism’ in universities and workplaces can be a real problem as seen in the dismissals of many alternative voices because those holding power in these places tends to support woke ideas. In India, the shoe is on the other foot. The right-wing ideas have the support of those in power. In edition #120 (A Short History of Breitbart Doctrine), I had written about the Gramscian idea of cultural hegemony which is being followed to the letter in India:Gramsci argued a capitalist state had two overlapping spheres that helped it to thrive. There was the ‘political society’ that ruled through coercion and control of means of production which was visible to all. But there was also the ‘civil society’ that ruled through consent and control of minds. The civil society was the public sphere of ideas and beliefs that were shaped through the church, media or universities. To him, the capitalist state was successful in ‘manufacturing consent’ among people through the ‘cultural hegemony’ it set up through its control of the public sphere. People living in such societies didn’t question their position or their exploitation because they thought this was the ‘natural state’ of existence. The cultural hegemony was so complete and overpowering that there could hardly be any mobilisation of people against the ‘political society’ which ruled through coercion. The minds of the people were brainwashed through propaganda.In short: establishing cultural hegemony is the first step to winning the minds and eventually, the votes of people (we are talking of democracy here). Over time, this hegemony in the public sphere will earn you the long-term consent of the people who will consider it their ‘natural state’. Self-censorship will follow as an outcome of this hegemony. That addresses the second question on why people self-censor themselves.Third, there’s the other question that usually comes up along with the imagined victimhood. Why only choose Hindu rituals? Why not show such ads using rituals of other Abrahamic faiths? Well, if some 82 per cent of the people in India are Hindus, it is natural for an ad or a TV show to focus on this majority for their message; radical or otherwise. Dabur or Fabindia won’t show such ads in another non-Hindu majority country if we were to take the hypothetical case of them being present there. Everyone focuses on the majority. It is for exactly the same reason why more than 80 per cent of films and TV shows have protagonists with Hindu names and faith. Or, a majority of holidays in offices are for Hindu festivals. This is how it works for any overwhelming majority. You get everything in majority. A decade or two back, I remember, there used to be articles and shows debating the relevance of rituals like karwa chauth and their place in modern society. Today, the debate is who can be shown observing the ritual and, maybe, what should they be wearing. That’s enough for you to know who is winning the culture war. p.s: Growing up I had almost no knowledge of karwa chauth. I don’t recollect any film or TV shows that featured it in their plots. Till Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) and Kajol ‘universalised’ it in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Culture changes, gradually and then suddenly, to misquote Hemingway. SRK would’ve learnt it . A Framework a Week: Rules For Political Survival Tools for thinking public policy— RSJI’m reading The Dictator's Handbook: Why Bad Behavior is Almost Always Good Politics (2011) by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith. The Netflix series How To Become A Tyrant is based on this. It is an interesting book with the central premise that politicians, dictators and democrats alike, are all the same. They must follow the same playbook of self-interested behaviour to stay in power. I will write about the book in a more relevant context some other time, perhaps. For now, I will leave you with this excellent set of rules that authors suggest leaders can use to succeed in any system:Rule 1: Keep your winning coalition as small as possible. A small coalition allows a leader to rely on very few people to stay in power. Fewer essentials equals more control and contributes to more discretion over expenditures. Bravo for Kim Jong Il of North Korea. He is a contemporary master at ensuring dependence on a small coalition.Rule 2: Keep your nominal selectorate as large as possible. Maintain a large selectorate of interchangeables and you can easily replace any troublemakers in your coalition, influentials and essentials alike. After all, a large selectorate permits a big supply of substitute supporters to put the essentials on notice that they should be loyal and well behaved or else face being replaced.Bravo to Vladimir Ilyich Lenin for introducing universal adult suffrage in Russia’s old rigged election system. Lenin mastered the art of creating a vast supply of interchangeables.Rule 3: Control the flow of revenue. It’s always better for a ruler to determine who eats than it is to have a larger pie from which the people can feed themselves. The most effective cash flow for leaders is one that makes lots of people poor and redistributes money to keep select people—their supporters—wealthy.Bravo to Pakistan’s president Asif Ali Zardari, estimated to be worth up to $4 billion even as he governed a country near the world’s bottom in per capita income.Rule 4: Pay your key supporters just enough to keep them loyal. Remember, your backers would rather be you than be dependent on you. Your big advantage over them is that you know where the money is and they don’t. Give your coalition just enough so that they don’t shop around for someone to replace you and not a penny more.Bravo to Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe who, whenever facing a threat of a military coup, manages finally to pay his army, keeping their loyalty against all odds.Rule 5: Don’t take money out of your supporter’s pockets to make the people’s lives better. The flip side of rule 4 is not to be too cheap toward your coalition of supporters. If you’re good to the people at the expense of your coalition, it won’t be long until your “friends” will be gunning for you. Effective policy for the masses doesn’t necessarily produce loyalty among essentials, and it’s darn expensive to boot. Hungry people are not likely to have the energy to overthrow you, so don’t worry about them. Disappointed coalition members, in contrast, can defect, leaving you in deep trouble.Bravo to Senior General Than Shwe of Myanmar, who made sure following the 2008 Nargis cyclone that food relief was controlled and sold on the black market by his military supporters rather than letting aid go to the people—at least 138,000 and maybe as many as 500,000 of whom died in the disaster.Cynical? Maybe. Illuminating, nevertheless. India Policy Watch #2: Musical Chairs Insights on burning policy issues in India— Pranay KotasthaneIn September, you would have come across many headlines to this effect: "right to sit" becomes a workplace law in Tamil Nadu. Or Tamil Nadu Becomes Second State After Kerala to Establish Right to Sit for Workers. Or Tamil Nadu’s ‘right to sit’ Bill, a long-overdue fundamental right.Of course, the change in law doesn’t mean the ‘right to sit’ is now an enforceable fundamental right. Nevertheless, the news coverage on this issue seems to suggest tha a legal right to sit for all workers in shops and establishments in the state would improve the conditions of workers. As someone skeptical of framing entitlements as rights guaranteed by the state, I was intrigued. How is the government going to enforce such a legal right? What does the right cover? What qualifies as seating? What does adequate seating mean? What’s the market failure here? How will smaller shops provide space for adequate seating?A useful philosophical distinction to consider here is between negative and positive rights. The holder of a negative right is entitled to non-interference. That is, having a negative right to sit implies an employer cannot stop a worker from sitting. A positive right is entitled to the provision of some good or service. That is, having the positive right to sit implies an employer must provide workers with a chair to sit on. The framing of the news reportage seemed to indicate that the government was leaning towards a positive right.So I searched for the exact text of the Kerala and TN amendments to their shops and establishment acts. This is what they say:Tamil Nadu LA Bill 29 of 2021:“22-A. Seating facilities -The premises of every establishment shall have suitable seating arrangements for all employees so that they may take advantage of any opportunity to sit which may occur in the course of their work and thereby avoid ‘on their toes’ situation throughout the working hours."Kerala LA Ordinance 50 of 2018 is almost identical:12B. Seating facilities — In every shop and establishment, suitable arrangements for sitting shall be provided to all workers so as to avoid ‘on the toes’ situation throughout the duty time, so that they may take advantage of any opportunity to sit which may occur in the course of their work.That’s about it. Although there’s no mention of a ‘right to sit’, my friend Ameya Naik educated me that such an obligation on a shop or establishment by definition creates a legal right for workers. So, how effective is this right likely to be? We can anticipate the following unintended consequences:Shops might procure a few chairs and yet prevent workers from sitting. Since the act does not define what ‘any opportunity to sit which may occur in the course of their work’ is, enforcing the right will be quite difficult.Smaller shops and establishments with limited space might find it difficult to comply to this law. Expect chairs to appear miraculously just before the inspector pays a visit.This gives another tool in the hands of the inspectors who are also supposed to check if shops comply with laws on holidays, opening and closing hours of the establishment, cleanliness, ventilation, lighting, prevention against fire etc. — a total of 32 sections under the Shops and Establishments Act. Given the limited capacity, we can expect that the bribe rates to increase.In sum, this ‘right to sit’ is, in reality, a mandate at par with other compliances for shops such as a holiday a week, a maximum work day of eight hours, wage for overtime work etc. In the most optimistic scenario, we can expect its compliance levels to be at par with these other pre-existing mandates. Finally, I am honestly unable to identify the exact market failure that necessitates government intervention on seating facilities in a shop. If I had no choice but to recommend a government intervention, an ethical labour sourcing certification that shops can voluntarily opt for, would be my first solution.India Policy Watch #3: Effecting Policy Change Insights on burning policy issues in India— Pranay KotasthaneThis week I read Himanshu Jha’s Capturing Institutional Change: The Case of the Right to Information Act in India. The ‘Right to X’ in a book title is usually a red flag for me but I am glad I ignored that thought. This book is an excellent read for anyone trying to understand how public policy changes happen in India. On the RTI Act’s promulgation, the first dominant narrative is that a bottom-up social movement with the Mazdoor Kisaan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS) ultimately culminated in the RTI Act 2005. Another dominant narrative highlights the key role played by the UPA-1 government. Jha challenges both these narrative and argues, rather convincingly, that:‘institutional change in the case of RTI in India is an incremental and gradual process of ideas emerging from within the state.’ [page 12]That’s a bold claim. Jha argues that key elements in the Indian political ecosystem were on board with the idea of freedom of information many years before the RTI act came into being. It was an idea whose time had come long before 2005. First the opposition parties and later, the mainstream parties played a major role in overturning the established norm of secrecy. The social movement did have a role to play but it too had a co-dependent relationship with elements in the state; the narrative that it was an outright contest between the society and the state in which the former won is incorrect. As a public policy student, this argument interests me because it again challenges a deep-seated belief in India that only crises drive positive changes in our polity. Many reforms, like the RTI Act, the National Pension System reform have actually come about as a result of a gradual process involving aligning cognitive maps, smart negotiating, and display of political will. That is a sign of hope and a call for rejecting cynicism. Crisis is no guarantee for a policy reform. The well-thought-through reforms take time and perhaps for good reason.

The Wall Street came off near record highs in overnight session to end flat as fast-spreading delta Covid-19 variant and signs of robust but softer US manufacturing growth soured sentiment. The S&P 500 ended 0.18 per cent lower, the Dow Jones declined 0.28 per cent and the Nasdaq added 0.06 per cent. In Asia, too, equities edged down, setting the stage for a weak D-Street opening. Japan's Topix index fell 0.2 per cent, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was flat and Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed 0.50 per cent. Consequently, SGX Nifty was down 40 points at 15,870 around 7.30 am. Although, robust quarterly earnings, further ease in lockdowns and strength in US futures are likely to contain downside. That said, more and more companies are looking to tap the primary markets. Beauty startup Nykaa has filed DRHP with Sebi to raise around Rs 4,000 crore. Meanwhile, Adani Wilmar has also filed papers with the regulator for Rs 4,500 crore issue. Already four companies are looking to hit Street on Wednesday to raise funds via the primary market. Now, a look at the stock-specific triggers that are likely to guide the market today. Some 70 companies are looking to release their quarterly earnings, including Adani Ports, Adani Enterprises, Bharti Airtel, Barbeque Nation, Dabur, Inox Leisure and Tata Consumer Products. In regards to Airtel, analysts believe the company may report stable ARPU sequentially and nearly flat revenue growth. Punjab National Bank reported over three-fold jump in its standalone net profit to Rs 1,023.46 crore for the first quarter ended June 30, mainly due to fall in operating expenses and good recovery. The total income during Q1FY22 however declined to Rs 22,515 crore from Rs 24,292.80 crore in Q1FY21. RBL Bank reported a loss of Rs 459.47 crore for the June quarter as against a profit of Rs 141 crore in the year-ago period as the money set aside for future loan setbacks shot up by nearly three-times. The overall provisions rose to Rs 1,425 crore from Rs 500 crore in the year-ago period. Tata Motors said it has increased prices of its passenger vehicles by 0.8 per cent with effect from August 3. The company noted that it would offer protection from the price increase to vehicles that will be retailed on or before August 31. Tata Sons arm Panatone Finvest on Monday picked up an 8 per cent stake in domestic telecom equipment maker Tejas Networks for over Rs 193 crore through an open market transaction.
Buying returned to Dalal Street as a mix of firm global cues, strong macro-economic data and a robust show by India Inc so far in the June quarter supported investor sentiments. After starting the day on an upbeat note, tracking firm trend from Asian peers, benchmark indices added to the gains as India Manufacturing PMI rose from 48.1 in June to 55.3 in July, pointing to the strongest rate of growth in three months. Sensex closed near day's high, up 364 points at 52,951 while Nifty50 settled at 15,885, up 122 points. Titan, M&M, RIL, Axis Bank and TCS were the top gainers in the 30-pack index and Tata Steel, Bajaj twins, NTPC and HDFC Bank were the top losers. Broader markets continued to outperform. Both the BSE Midcap and BSE Smallcap shut shop at record closing highs after hitting fresh peaks in intra-day session. The midcap index gained 1.05 per cent and smallcap index 1.07 per cent. Both indices rose for the third day. In the sectoral space, all indices edged higher led by Nifty Realty which rose 4.8 per cent. Improved outlook for real estate due to a surge in property registrations piqued interest in the sector. Nifty Auto index followed suit with a 1.34 per cent return following strong July sales figures. Nifty Media out up the least impressive show with a 0.04 per cent rise. In stock-specific moves, shares of Mahindra & Mahindra rose 2 per cent to Rs 756 as the July sales jumped 30 per cent MoM to 42,983 units. Further, IRCTC gained 6 per cent to Rs 2,468 as the company said its board will mull a stock split along with its Q1 results on August 12. The scrip had touched an all-time high of Rs Rs 2,490 intra-day. Shares of Vodafone Idea ended flat with a negative bias at Rs 8.25 after Kumar Mangalam Birla has told the government he is willing to offer his stake in Vodafone Idea Limited (VIL) to any state-owned or "domestic financial entity" to keep the stressed telecom company afloat. HDFC shares gained nearly 1 per cent to Rs 2,462.30 even as it posted a 1.6 per cent YoY decrease in standalone net profit at Rs 3,000.67 crore for April-June quarter of FY22 (Q1FY22) on the back of lower other income and higher tax and employee expenses. That said, going into trade on Tuesday, the focus will remain on the ongoing earnings season that may result in stock-specific action on Street. Nearly 70 companies are slated to post their Q1 earnings tomorrow. Some of the prominent names include Adani Ports, Adani Enterprises, Bharti Airtel, Barbeque Nation, Dabur, Inox Leisure and Tata Consumer Products. In regards to Airtel, analysts believe the company may report stable ARPU sequentially and nearly flat revenue growth. Further global cues will continue to sway market sentiments.
In the action packed week, markets would be driven by the ongoing earnings season, RBI policy meet and macroeconomic data. Besides, global cues and pace of vaccination will also guide the local equities. The domestic benchmark indices had declined in the four of last five sessions and ended the week over 0.50 per cent lower amid global market rout. The key event this week is the RBI policy meet outcome and Governor Shaktikanta Das' commentary. Expectation is that the RBI too, just like the Fed, will not hamper the repo rates so as to continue supporting impacted sectors with cheaper credit. Meanwhile, Governor's comments on inflation will throw some light on the our economy and any future actions the central bank might take. Ahead of the poilcy outcome, macroeconomic data will shed some light on the health of the economy. The Manufacturing PMI is slated to be out on August 2 and Markit Services & Composite PMI numbers for July are scheduled on August 4. Auto sales numbers along with the result season will continue to drive stock specific movements on D-Street. Prominent names like HDFC, Bharti Airtel, State Bank of India, Titan Company, Dabur, M&M, Cipla, GAIL India, Adani Ports, Hindalco Industries, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, HPCL, Tata Consumer Products and Divis Labs poised to post their quarterly earnings this week. The action in the primary market will also remain hot as four IPOs are slated to open on August 4, leaving investors spoilt for choice. These companies together look to raise a little over Rs 3,600 crore. At Rs 1,838 crore, KFC and Pizza Hut operator Devyani International is the largest IPO amongst them. Krsnaa Diagnostics is planning to raise Rs 1,213.33 crore while Windlas Biotech Rs 401.54 and Exxaro Tiles Rs 161 crore. The shares of Glenmark Life Sciences will debut on bourses on August 6. The IPO was subscribed over 44 times last week and the shares are currently trading at a premium of 18-21 per cent in the grey market. Lastly, FII flow, rupee's trajectory and oil price movement can also sway market sentiments. And now, let's take a look at the trade setup for today. Asian stocks and US equity futures rose as some of the concerns over Covid-19 reopening disruption and China's regulatory crackdown eased. Japan's Topix index rose 1.5 per cent, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index rose 0.1 per cent and South Korea's Kospi index gained 0.3 per cent. Meanwhile, S&P 500 contracts rose 0.4 per cent and Nasdaq futures added 0.3 per cent. Amid this backdrop, Indian equities looked poised for a firm start to the day. SGX Nifty traded 91 points higher at 15,865 around 7.35 am. In stock-specific moves, shares of Adani Enterprises will be in focus as the company has incorporated Adani Petrochemicals as a wholly-owned subsidiary to carry on business of setting up refineries, petrochemicals complexes and specialty chemicals units. IDFC First Bank reported a net loss of Rs 630 crore in the April-June quarter due to provisioning measures for cushioning the impact of the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. The bank had posted a net profit of Rs 93.55 crore in the year-ago quarter ended in June 2020. NTPC posted a nearly 17 per cent rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 3,443.72 crore for the April-June quarter on the back of higher revenues. The consolidated net profit of the company in the quarter ended on June 30, 2020, was Rs 2,948.94 crore. Britannia Industries reported a 29 per cent decline in consolidated net profit at Rs 387 crore for the quarter ended June 30 compared with Rs 543 crore for the April-June period of previous fiscal. Torrent Power has inked an agreement with Lightsource India Ltd and Lightsource Renewable Energy (India) Ltd for acquisition of a 50 MW solar plant. The enterprise value for the deal is around Rs 317 crore
Participants on Dalal Street had cold feet in the last hour of trading on Friday as they avoided rolling off positions to the next week amid global market uncertainty. After rising over 250 points in the intra-day session, the BSE barometer Sensex closed the day 66 points lower at 52,587 while its NSE counterpart Nifty ended 15 points down at 15,763. The move was in line with the global mood as equities from the US to Australia declined. US futures hinted at a weak Wall Street opening. European shared retreated from record-high levels. And Asian markets were still reeling from China's crackdown. Back home, RIL and financials were the top drags, with Bajaj twins and SBI leading the loser pack on Sensex. On the other hand, Sun Pharma and Tech Mahindra were the top gainers, followed by Power Grid and Bajaj Auto. Sun Pharma stock rallied over 10 per cent to Rs 774 after it posted a better-than-expected Q1 earnings show. Its net profit was up 73 per cent year-on-year (YoY) at Rs 1,979 crore, mainly due to robust operational performance. Its consolidated sales from operations came in at Rs 9,669 crore, a growth of 29 per cent over Q1 last year. Tech Mahindra's stock vaulted to a record high on Friday after the IT giant also beat Street estimates in the June quarter. The stock after hitting a high of Rs 1237 in intra-day ended 7.24 per cent higher at Rs 1209.45. Consequently, on the sectoral front, the Nifty IT index hit a new high too. The index rose to 30,818.55 in intra-day trade and finally ended the day 0.36 per cent up. Nifty Media, meanwhile, was the best performer with a nearly 4 per cent gain. Nifty Metal, on the other hand, after scaling a new high at 5,879.10 failed to hold gains and emerged the worst loser, down 0.7 per cent. Broader markets outperformed benchmarks. Nifty Midcap index rallied over 1 per cent and Nifty Smallcap 0.44 per cent. Another top mover of the day was Garware Hi-Tech that hit 5 per cent upper circuit after marquee investor Ashish Kacholia bought nearly one per cent additional stake in the commodity chemicals company via open market on Thursday. In the primary market, investors came in hoards to bid for Rolex Rings on the last day of the process. The IPO was subscribed over 130 times so far, with HNI category the most oversubscribed. Next week too, the primary market action will remain high as two IPOs -- Windlas Biotech and Devyani International -- will open for subscription. Further, the earnings action will remain high as prominent players like HDFC, SBI, PNB, Bharti Airtel, Dabur, Titan, Cipla, Tata Chemicals, BEML, Hindalco, M&M are slated to post their results next week.

The Nifty has been maintaining higher top higher bottom formation on the monthly charts which shows the long-term bullish trend of the market is intact. On the weekly timeframe, the Nifty has been moving in a range of 15,430–15,915 for the last few weeks which indicates the momentum of the market has slowed down but still there is no sign of trend reversal. The index remains above the long-term moving averages of 50-day, 100-day and 200-day simple moving averages (SMA). The RSI plotted on all the timeframes has been sustaining above the 60 mark which shows bullish momentum is intact for the medium to long term. The key support levels to watch for in the short term are 15,430 and 15,145. The key resistance level is 15,915. If the index sustains above this level, we might see the index head higher towards 15,986 and eventually 16,687.

After a buoyant last week wherein the markets logged a gain of 2%, analysts expect the market to trade in a narrow range amid multiple conflicting cues on the economic and political front. Furthermore, March quarter earnings, macro data and Covid-related developments will also be closely tracked by market participants. Volatility is expected to remain high in the events-heavy week. First and foremost, Street will react to the Reliance Industries results which came in after market hours on Friday. Moreover, earnings season will gather pace with some 125 companies slated to post their March quarter numbers this week, including bluechip names like Kotak Mahindra Bank, Hero MotoCorp, Adani Ports, Tata Steel, Dabur and HDFC. Investors might also react to the Assembly election outcome that came on May 2. While the market will be disappointed with BJP's inability to breach TMC's citadel, it will take comfort that the BJP has been able to retain power in Assam, said independent market expert Ajay Bodke. The impact of these wins by the TMC and DMK on the constitution of the Rajya Sabha will be closely watched as the NDA needs to command a majority there to pass crucial legislative bills to accelerate economic reforms, he added. Experts are also of the opinion that more than election outcome, which will have a new value of a few hours, Covid-19 related developments will have a greater market impact. As India crossed the grim milestone of over 4 lakh cases reported in a single day, investors fear the possibility of a nationwide lockdown. Meanwhile, they will also guide the pace of vaccination drive that has now opened for all adults, albeit with some initial hiccups. In spite of Covid related restrictions, GST collections for April were at a record Rs 1.4 lakh crore. This might soothe investors concerns over the impact of localised lockdowns on economic activity. That apart, investors will also track Markit Manufacturing PMI and Markit Services PMI data scheduled to be out on May 3 and May 5, respectively. FII flows, oil price movement, rupee's trajectory and global cues will also influence market sentiment. And now, let's take a look at the trade setup for today. Asian share markets got off to a slow start on Monday as holidays in China and Japan crimped volumes and investors awaited a raft of data this week which should show the US leading a global economic recovery. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was all but flat, South Korea's Kospi added 0.48% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng slipped 0.62%. Meanwhile, back home, Nifty futures on the SGX traded 94 points lower at 14,548 around 7.30 am, indicating a gap-down start for the benchmark indices. A look at the stock-specific triggers that are likely to guide the market today. A total of 21 companies are slated to post their March quarter numbers today, including Kotak Mahindra Bank, SBI Life Insurance Company, Tata Chemicals, Godrej Properties, L&T Technology Services and Varun Beverages. Shares of auto companies will be in focus as investors will react to the auto sales figures for the month of April. Reliance Industries reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 13,227 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, up 108 per cent from Rs 6,348 crore logged in the corresponding quarter last year. IndusInd Bank on Friday reported a 193 per cent YoY jump in consolidated profit after tax at Rs 926 crore for the March quarter, aided by higher net interest income and lower provisions. Yes Bank's standalone net loss widened marginally to Rs 3,788 crore in the March quarter of FY21 as against a net loss of Rs 3,668 crore a year ago. The lender posted a net profit of Rs 148 crore in the December quarter.
