Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you 5 major stories from the world of business. It's Monday, May 19th, 2025. This is Nelson John. 1. Q4 Earnings Storm: Over 660 Companies Line UpIt's a blockbuster week on Dalal Street as over 660 companies, including market giants like Power Grid, ONGC, Hindalco, and ITC, prepare to report Q4 results. The Nifty 500 has already surprised positively with 10.5% earnings growth, signaling a mid-cap revival. Investors will closely track results starting Monday from firms like DLF and Pfizer, followed by Hindalco, Dixon, and Max Healthcare on Tuesday. Wednesday belongs to ONGC, IndiGo, and Mankind Pharma. By Friday, the likes of JSW Steel and Reliance Infra will cap off what could be a defining week for FY25 sentiment. Even Saturday will see earnings action from JK Cement and Indigo Paints. The momentum here could shape the market's next big move. 2. IMF's 11-Point Lifeline to PakistanPakistan has secured a fresh $1 billion from the IMF—but with 11 strict conditions. The total disbursed now stands at $2.1 billion. Key demands include passing a ₹17.6 trillion budget, implementing agricultural income tax, raising energy tariffs, and phasing out tech zone incentives by 2035. Failure to meet these could jeopardize further aid. Adding to the pressure, the IMF has flagged rising India-Pakistan tensions as a potential risk to the reform path. As Pakistan stares at a tough fiscal balancing act, the road to economic stability is paved with policy overhauls and public patience. 3. India Hits Bangladesh with Trade CurbsIndia has restricted port access for Bangladeshi goods worth $770 million, impacting nearly 42% of Dhaka's exports into India. The move blocks key items like garments and processed foods from land routes, now limiting them to Kolkata and Nhava Sheva ports. While India hasn't cited geopolitical reasons, the restrictions follow Dhaka's curbs on Indian yarn and rice exports and a transit fee on Indian cargo. Experts say India is using economic tools to push back against Bangladesh's growing tilt towards China, which recently signed $2.1 billion worth of deals with Dhaka. With trade ties fraying, the two neighbors are veering from collaboration toward confrontation. 4. Adani's Deep-Sea Defence PlayAdani Defence & Aerospace has signed a major partnership with US-based Sparton to localize anti-submarine warfare tech in India. This makes Adani the first private Indian firm to offer indigenised sonobuoy systems—critical for undersea detection and naval security. The tie-up aligns with India's ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat' vision and is poised to boost Indian Navy capabilities. Jeet Adani called it a step toward securing sovereignty amid rising maritime threats. Sparton CEO Donnelly Bohan said the collaboration will help build high-tech jobs and localized defence manufacturing. India's push to be a global player in undersea warfare just got a sonar-powered boost. 5. Ola's Gigafactory Ambitions Hit DelayOla Electric's grand gigafactory plan has hit a snag. Despite raising ₹5,500 crore last year, the company has not utilized the ₹1,227 crore earmarked for expanding battery cell capacity to 6.4 GWh by April 2025. Phase 1b and Phase 2 are delayed, with commercial production now pushed to FY26. This could endanger Ola's eligibility for incentives under the ₹18,100 crore PLI scheme. The company, already facing mounting losses—₹564 crore in Q3 FY25—is under scrutiny for delayed execution and missed milestones. Analysts warn that unless Ola speeds up or outsources, its dream of a 20GWh facility by 2026 may remain on paper. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

He stressed that AI is “writing the code for humanity in the 21st century,” acknowledging both its immense promise and inherent biases.

The remarks, widely criticized as insensitive and vulgar, led to backlash from viewers. The Mumbai police confirmed they are investigating the incident, and Allahbadia, along with other guests, is being questioned regarding the matter.Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav criticized the latest Union Budget, claiming it is designed to benefit the wealthy, including industrialists. Addressing the Lok Sabha, Yadav stated that the budget's focus is on the rich, rather than on creating a roadmap for India's development. He expressed concerns over the lack of a long-term vision for the country's growth, adding that recent budget announcements seem tailored to elites rather than addressing the needs of the general population. He criticized the budget's priorities and questioned its impact on India's future.The Indian stock market took a hit on Tuesday, with the Sensex dropping over 1,000 points and Nifty falling by 1.3% amid concerns over Donald Trump's tariff announcements and weak corporate earnings. The Sensex was trading at 76,259, down 1,047 points, while Nifty50 was down by 303.5 points, trading at 23,078. Trump raised tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 25% and announced plans for reciprocal levies on several countries, shaking market sentiment and triggering a decline on Dalal Street.Following a directive from the Ministry of Home Affairs, India's top security agencies have compiled a list of 12 gangsters based in the United States. Sources reveal that this list may be shared with U.S. authorities during Prime Minister Modi's upcoming visit to the U.S. The list includes notorious criminals like Anmol Bishnoi and Goldy Brar. While central agencies have long tracked criminals abroad, the recent directive focuses specifically on gangsters based in the U.S., aiming to address their legal status and facilitate international cooperation.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by the Indian Express.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of October 11 -On a day when every single Indian mourned the demise of Tata Sons' Chairman Emeritus Ratan Tata, Dalal Street only found it appropriate to remain in snooze mode and not have any big fluctuations on the weekly options expiry of the Nifty 50 contracts. The Nifty traded in a 160-point range on Thursday but could not surpass Wednesday's high of 25,234. It closed right at the mark of 25,000. -All eyes for Friday's trading session will be on the reaction that Wall Street has to the CPI data for September, which could potentially determine what will the Fed do in its November policy, after a very strong non-farm payrolls data has completely taken a 50 basis points rate cut off the table. -On the domestic front, TCS will react to its quarterly results, which were a miss on the margin front. Revenues were in-line with expectations but most other parameters were also a marginal miss. Stocks like Anand Rathi Wealth, IREDA and Tata Elxsi will also be reacting to their quarterly results. -Other stocks to track: Den Networks, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, Oberoi Realty, Krsnaa Diagnostics, Bandhan Bank, Uno Minda -Shares rose in Asia, sidestepping losses on Wall Street following hotter-than-expected core inflation that heightened the focus on the Federal Reserve's next move. Japanese and South Korean stocks opened higher while those in Australia slipped. US equity futures also edged higher, after the S&P 500 fell 0.2% and the Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.1% Thursday. -US data released Thursday underscored the challenge facing the Fed. Underlying US inflation rose more than forecast in September in a sign of stalling progress in the fight to bring prices to target. Separate data showed applications for US unemployment benefits rose last week to the highest in over a year. -In commodities, oil edged lower, trimming some of its gains from Thursday when West Texas Intermediate futures climbed 3.6% as traders awaited Israel's response to Iran's missile attack. -GIF TNifty was lower this morning trading at discount of nearly 20 pts from Nifty Futures Thursday close, indicating a start in the red for the Indian market.

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, 18 September 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started.Indian benchmark indices, the Nifty and the Sensex, saw a marginal rise on Tuesday as traders remained cautious ahead of US Fed's policy decision. The Nifty ended the session with a 0.14% gain while the Sensex ended with a 0.11% rise.On Tuesday, we wrote about Brookfield's plans to venture into the semiconductor fabrication sector. The sector is hot — today, Gulveen Aulakh and Shouvik Das report that the Adani Group wants a piece of this pie too. It's planning a joint venture with Israel-based company “Tower Semiconductor”. The JV will be based in Maharashtra's Raigad district. While the chips to come out of this factory will meet the Adani Group's requirements, they will also cater to foreign demand.Millions of investors are trying to make a small fortune in IPOs. Every new listing, irrespective of its size, is oversubscribed dozens of times at least. Why? Cases like Bajaj Housing Finance, which doubled when it debuted on Dalal Street on Monday. Listing day gains aren't a new concept, but it's incredibly difficult to secure an allotment for a new IPO. Sashind Ningthoukhongjam writes about strategies one could adopt if they want better chances at securing allotment. You can apply via the shareholder quota, or the small high net investor quota as well. This is a good read for you if you've missed out on some of the blockbuster IPOs we've had this year.Urban Company's early investors, Steadview Capital, Elevation Capital, and Accel, are eyeing a partial exit, planning to sell off stakes worth $100-150 million. This move is part of a broader trend where early backers cash out before a company hits the public markets, and Urban Company is preparing for an IPO next year. These secondary sales let old investors liquidate at a valuation slightly under Urban Company's estimated $2.6 billion—a strategic move as they near the end of their fund cycles. Mint's Sneha Shah and Priyamvada C report on the secondary share sale at Urban Company - something that reflects a broader trend in the Indian startup scene.What's your portfolio mix?.... Most savvy investors would say stocks, mutual funds, gold and real estate. But there's a new player in town: “Rare Collectibles”. Dipti Sharma writes that Indian investors are diversifying into luxury items like art, vintage cars and luxury watches. Rare Japanese whiskeys are part of such investments too, as the market now has both buyers and sellers. Some experts believe that these collectibles will turn into a key asset class. What rich Indians once bought for personal enjoyments, are now treated as investments that could give you decent returns.Back in 2013, India launched a plan to strengthen small farmers by creating Farmer Producer Companies  or FPCs, giving them the power to negotiate better deals and manage resources collectively, similar to successful dairy co-ops like Amul. Farmers buy shares in these FPCs, which then operate under the Companies Act—this shields them from political and bureaucratic hassles and allows them to tap into government grants. Fast forward to today, and there are over 9,000 FPCs with more than 2 million members, about 28% of whom are women, writes Sayantan Bera. These FPCs have broadened their reach, securing licences to sell everything from seeds to processed foods, helping farmers get better prices and market access. However, it's not all smooth sailing. Many FPCs struggle with getting enough working capital; high interest rates from loans make growth tough. Is Adani's semiconductor play a long term game?Struggling with IPO allotments?

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of September 5 -Wednesday's session finally brought to an end the 14-day rally, as Dalal Street sold off in-line with the meltdown seen in global equity markets overnight.The Nifty recovered more than 100 points from the lows of the day as the index found support just below 25,100 and reversed from those levels. -For the remaining week, of course, a lot will depend on how Wall Street moves overnight ahead of the all important jobs data on Friday. Thursday is also the weekly expiry for the Nifty, its first for the September series and that will also have a part to play in the index moves. -This morning, the GIFT Nifty was trading with a premium of more than 100 points from Nifty Futures' Wednesday close, indicating a gap-up start for Indian market. -Stocks to watch: Reliance Industries, Sona BLW, GIC Re, Vedanta, Century Textiles, Suzlon, HDFC Bank, PNB Housing Finance -Asian stocks regained some ground this morning after a global selloff as traders awaited this week's US payrolls data to gauge the extent of the Federal Reserve's easing. The dollar steadied. Overnight in the US, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite fell for a second straight session in a lackluster start to September. -The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 0.5% after falling more than 2% on Wednesday, its biggest drop since the Aug. 5 rout. South Korea's Kospi jumped more than 1%, led by a rebound in the shares of chipmakers. Japan's benchmarks fluctuated following the yen's strength. -With the Fed set to begin cutting rates in a few weeks, the main question now is how big the first reduction will be. Monthly US employment data due Friday will help determine the answer. The jobs report last month stoked growth fears and Chair Jerome Powell has made it clear the Fed is now more concerned about risks to the labor market than inflation. -In commodities, oil steadied near the lowest close since June 2023 as an industry report pointed to a big draw in US crude stockpiles. Meanwhile, gold traded at around $2,495 after finding support following the US job openings data. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues

Welcome back to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of August 27 -Jerome Powell's speech triggered a strong rally on Wall Street and that rubbed off on Dalal Street to a certain extent as well on Monday. The Nifty was back above the mark of 25,000, a level last seen at the start of this month. It turned out to be a day when the benchmark indices outperformed the broader markets. -Even as the Nifty gained nearly 200 points on Monday, there appeared to be some hesitation among the bulls to scale the record high of 25,078 and take the index beyond that.  The Nifty made a high of 25,043 on Monday and closed just above the mark of 25,000, falling just 0.3 points short of registering a record closing high. -Almost all interest-rate sensitives put in a strong show on Monday, starting with IT, which rallied post the surge seen on the Nasdaq, while Real Estate and Metal stocks too saw a good day at the office. -For today, the GIFTNifty was lower this morning, trading at a discount of nearly 30 pts from Nifty Futures Monday close, indicating a start in the red for the Indian market. -Stocks to watch: IT stocks, GPT Infraprojects, KPI Green Energy, UltraTech Cement, Paytm, HCLTech, Lemon Tree Hotels -In terms of global cues, Asian shares moved in narrow ranges after tech giants dragged down Wall Street, as focus shifted from the Federal Reserve's policy outlook to Nvidia Corp.'s earnings later this week. Japanese and South Korean stocks turned slightly higher after earlier losses, with mild gains in Australia.Hong Kong futures pointed to a weak opening, while contracts for US peers were steady after some of the world's largest tech names pushed US stocks lower. -A gauge of the “Magnificent Seven” megacaps slid 1.2% on Monday. While more than half of the shares in the S&P 500 gained, the US equity benchmark edged lower — a consequence of weakness in the tech giants that dominate it.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Thursday, August 1, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started: Slowing revenues and weak projections have prompted India's top IT companies to hit a pause on pay hikes. Tata Consultancy Services is the only company proceeding with salary increases, while HCL Tech, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, and LTI Mindtree have delayed their disbursements. Mint's Jas Bardia notes that this delay in pay hikes could lead to more disgruntled employees, and comes at a time of falling headcounts at most tech companies.Ola wants its electric scooters division to be the new favourite of the stock market, debuting on Dalal Street today. With a price band of 72 to 76 rupees per share, the company is targeting a valuation of $4 billion. Mayur Bhalerao breaks down the IPO, helping you decide if investing in Ola Electric is a smart move.The Byju's saga has a new chapter: Riju Raveendran, the younger brother of the struggling edtech company's founder Byju Raveendran, has raised Rs 158 crore to pay the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), one of the company's operational creditors. Once India's most celebrated startup, Byju's, which had signed on as a sponsor for the Indian cricket team, told the appeals court that it has paid 50 crore rupees to the BCCI, with the remaining payments to be made in two instalments. However, the company still owes its employees their salaries.Licious, a pioneer in the online meat ordering business in India, has realized it can't rely solely on its online presence. Mint's Samiksha Goel reports that the company is now venturing into offline stores to compete with local meat sellers. The meat industry in India is valued at an estimated $31 billion, with online ordering accounting for just $500 million of that market. But offline stores are tricky, Samiksha notes. Previous players have faced significant overhead costs, leading to business closures. Will Licious turn out any different?There have been global calls for "de-dollarisation," urging a reduction in the world economy's reliance on the US dollar. India, naturally, is keen to see other countries trade using the rupee. The Union Budget included provisions to encourage the adoption of the rupee as a global currency. However, achieving this is not straightforward, writes Nandita Venkatesan. It requires transforming the Indian rupee into a "hard currency," meaning it must be seen as politically and economically stable. Nandita outlines the challenges and the measures the Indian government must take to reach this goal. She also includes informative charts to help better understand the situation. We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast. Let us know by writing to us at feedback@livemint.com.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Thursday, July 18, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:The Indian stock markets BSE and NSE remained closed on Wednesday on the account of Muharram.The upcoming Union budget on 23 July is set to unveil a new initiative aimed at boosting the domestic production of medical devices, mirroring an existing program for pharmaceuticals. This move is intended to enhance self-sufficiency in medical equipment, potentially lowering healthcare costs. While the specifics of the financial backing remain under wraps, ongoing discussions signal a strong government focus on enhancing the sector's global standards. Currently, India's medical device market is predominantly composed of disposables and implants, which contributed to an $11 billion industry in 2022, accounting for about 1.5% of the global market. Projections suggest this could expand to $50 billion by 2030. Mint's Priyanka Sharma reports that the proposed scheme is expected to resemble the Revamped Pharmaceuticals Technology Upgradation Assistance Scheme launched earlier this year. The scheme supports technological advancements in the pharma sector through financial incentives.A new piece of legislation from the Karnataka government made news on Wednesday. The now-halted bill required that 50% of management and 75% of non-management roles in the private sector be reserved for local residents. Local residents are defined under the bill as individuals born in Karnataka or have lived in the state for at least 15 years. Being able to speak Kannada is also mandatory under this bill. The pause came after this policy shift was being seen as a serious challenge, particularly to the IT sector, which is a major contributor to the state's economy. The potential impact on these sectors includes a decrease in investments and a possible exodus of companies to other regions with less restrictive employment laws. Industry bodies like Nasscom even expressed deep concerns, predicting that such protectionist measures could deter global firms looking to invest in the state. Mint's Devina Sengupta explains how the now-paused piece of legislation could have impacted Karnataka's position in the race to become the country's biggest tech hub.Guess what tech startups can do without? A Chief Technology Officer. Major tech-driven companies like Zomato, Healthify, Swiggy and others are reconsidering the necessity of this senior executive role. Mint's Mansi Verma reports that instead of hiring new CTOs, these firms are redistributing responsibilities to existing team members or leaving the position vacant altogether. So what's causing this shift? Firstly, the cost of maintaining such a high-level position is substantial. CTO compensation packages often include hefty salaries and stock options, which can be financially burdensome. Additionally, internal promotions and reallocation of duties are proving effective. Companies are finding that empowering existing staff can maintain momentum and innovation without the need for a dedicated CTO. Despite this, an absence of the CTO could pose challenges, especially for companies relying on cutting-edge technology. The impacts of climate change are increasingly visible and distressing, ranging from severe floods to prolonged droughts. These events not only disrupt lives but also foreshadow significant economic turmoil. We're looking at potential drops or fluctuations in agricultural yields, which could lead to persistent food price inflation. Additionally, the severity of monsoon-related coastal flooding is likely to increase. In this article, part of Mint's special series of pre-budget stories, former Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha talks about how India's goal of net zero emissions can be reached through three steps: legislation, emission trading and capital mobilisation. Once synonymous with inefficiency, public sector undertakings or PSUs have transformed into significant wealth generators. In 2023-24, the 56 listed PSUs in the BSE PSU index recorded a combined profit of over ₹5 trillion, an all-time high. This surge is partly attributed to the government's emphasis on enhancing India's infrastructure, with capital expenditure rising dramatically over the past decade. Yet, this remarkable performance raises questions. Are we witnessing a sustainable growth trajectory, or is this another market bubble driven by government spending and sector-wide euphoria? Investors should consider whether they are chasing short-term gains or genuinely investing in long-term growth. While PSUs currently show strong performance, the underlying risk of a sector-driven bubble looms, suggesting caution in an overheated market. Today's Long Story by Mint's Abhishel Mukherjee focuses on PSUs listed on the Dalal Street, and whether investors should continue investing. We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

Remember the market chaos during the last election? A massive upswing after the exit polls, followed by the biggest plunge in four years. Investors rushed to capitalise on the dip, but a technical glitch delayed transactions, causing missed profit opportunities. Imagine your screen freezing during a critical trade, or not being able to access your demat account when the market is volatile. Market glitches like these, while not frequent, can lead to losses worth hundreds of crores and impact discount brokers to full-scale brokers, and even commodity traders at MCX, which faced a four-hour outage in February. In today's episode, we delve into the causes and impact of these glitches. Are they a Dalal Street peculiarity or a global phenomenon? Has the regulator noticed, and what actions are being taken?

On Thursday, the Supreme Court of India quashed the non-transparent and much-debated electoral funding system involving Electoral Bonds. It sent shockwaves through India's political landscape. Advocates of transparency argue that this move may expose all those engaged in this contentious form of political financing just before the General Elections. Find out what lies ahead after the electoral bond. According to an analysis, around 94 per cent of the total value of bonds purchased between March 2018 to October 2023 were in the denomination of 1 crore rupees. This shows that most electoral bonds were being purchased by corporates rather than individuals. Let's now delve into the developments shaping India's startup landscape. Indian startups are rekindling their IPO aspirations after a break – this time with a renewed emphasis on improving profitability before going public. Several of them also reported robust earnings in the December quarter. This has made people wonder if India's listed startups are on the brink of a turnaround.  Let us now move on to financial markets. Dalal Street has been betting on IT stocks, reflected in their sharp gains recently on bets of global monetary policy easing. But with the US Fed rate cut timeline remaining uncertain, can the IT segment still extend its strength and emerge as the dark horse in 2024?  Moving on, the creator of ChatGPT, OpenAI introduced a new advancement in generative artificial intelligence — a tool capable of generating short-videos instantly based on written commands.

Top executives of Reliance Industries and Walt Disney have been in a huddle for a while now. Contours of a big deal are being thrashed out, and all the eyes are now on the final outcomes. If all goes as reported, Reliance will merge its media business with Walt Disney's India business -- giving birth to the country's largest media and entertainment business. And on the other hand, the conglomerate would also acquire Disney's entire 30% stake in satellite TV provider Tata Play. But can Reliance replicate the success of Jio in the media industry too?    Clearly, the Indian media and entertainment landscape is seeing quite a churn. But even if Reliance seals both the deals, it wouldn't be a smooth sailing ahead. Let us now turn our gaze towards skies where turbulence is brewing for Indian airlines. The season of fog is long gone, but passengers are still facing flight delays. But why?  Meanwhile, Dalal Street saw a tug-of-war between the bulls and the bears last week. Eventually the bulls had their way, as the market ended with weekly gains. Will this recovery be sustainable or is there more pain ahead?   Money, whether earned from the stocks or after a hard day's work in the office, keeps us going. But what drags us down are the calls and emails beyond the working hours. When we are with families or friends. Australia has now come out with a Bill that will put in place a “right to disconnect”. Listen to this episode of the podcast for answers. 

Fog has sent flight schedules into a tailspin. Hundreds of flights have either been cancelled, or are running hours behind the schedule across most cities. And the fliers they cater to are at the wit's end. Situation is dire at the country's largest and busiest airport in Delhi, which has just one CAT 3 runway operational. So is there a solution to flight delays in fog season?  An international study, led by IIT Madras, has found that industrial processes and the burning of plastic waste were creating the high particulate matter. And these high particulate matter were the leading cause of reduced visibility during fog season. Clearly, technology can unravel a lot of mysteries. And no wonder, a large number of youngsters are attracted by engineering courses. But off late, engineering colleges are seeing a declining interest from students due to a host of reasons. Slowdown in the IT sector is one of them. Find out if engineering courses have lost their charm. Rally in IT sector pushed Dalal Street to a new high a few days ago. But sub-par results of HDFC Bank triggered an unexpected correction in the markets. Benchmarks clocked their worst one-day selling in 18 months on January 17. The stock of India's biggest private bank, too, has crashed around 11% in two days. As bears flex their muscles at the counter, what lies ahead for the stock?    But buoyed by a rush of interest in AI, IT stocks are likely to keep benchmark indices in good health in the days to come. And it seems, there is no field where AI is not making a difference. It is being used in Ayodhya too. Artificial intelligence surveillance will be implemented for the first time to detect suspicious activities in the temple city. But, how will AI help in Ayodhya's surveillance? Listen to this episode of the podcast for more.  

Despite a high interest rate regime, India's real estate sector continued to expand at a fast clip in 2023. A growth which was primarily driven by home buyers. While sales of budget homes jumped, luxury apartments sold like hot cakes -- with many disappearing within hours of opening of bookings. And a big chunk of them were bought by deep-pocketed Non-Resident Indians. But there is a worry in some quarters. That NRIs' increased investment may be pushing the prices of homes, making them unaffordable for many.  For most of us, home means a place to slow down. A place where we find warmth of family, and, of course, a hot cup of tea or coffee in this cold winter. Traditionally, we have been a nation of tea drinkers, barring pockets in the south where coffee has long been relished. But, with a rise in people's income and increased exposure to the west, coffee has slowly but steadily been making inroads in our daily routine. Coffee shops, run by both foreign as well as domestic brands, are dotting markets and shopping centres like never before. So have we matured as a coffee drinking nation?  Let us now see what is brewing on Dalal Street. Vodafone Idea has been unable to arrest the market share loss to its rivals. But, the stock of the debt-ridden telco has far outperformed its listed peers, with a 100% rally in the last one year. So, is the strength sustainable or are the gains overdone?  Analysts, meanwhile, believe that due to customer losses, Vodafone Idea's revenue is likely to remain stagnant in the December quarter. Moving on, the trade between India and Russia increased by over 200% year-on-year in the first two quarters of FY24. And just last month, both the countries agreed to establish the Chennai-Vladivostok maritime corridor. Find out more about this new route and how will it help both the countries in this episode of the podcast.   

Antibiotics are given to neutralize harmful bacteria, and to halt their reproduction. But their overuse is fast turning into some sort of epidemic. It is turning these germs into 'super bugs' - which are antibiotic resistant. And India has one of the highest mortality rates due to this antimicrobial resistance. So how can India stop popping antibiotics?  Kerala, meanwhile, has launched a state-wide operation to check abuse of antibiotics. It will also deploy covert squads to monitor sale of these drugs. Well, it looks like a step in the right direction. Let us now turn our focus to another threat, which is giving sleepless nights to people in various parts of the country. Incidents of leopards straying into human habitats have been on a rise for a while now. From posh NCR colonies like Gurgaon and Noida to villages in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, leopards are increasingly making their presence felt. But why?  But on Monday, bears made their presence felt on Dalal Street. Key benchmark indices tumbled amid weakness in global indices. But IT stocks shone amid this rout. Stocks of IT majors have been in the spotlight after a sharp recovery seen last year. The excitement has been led by hopes of improvement in IT spending as global rates begin to decline. But can the December quarter earnings test this optimism?  Many experts believe that IT stocks would see increased volatility in the coming weeks. Moving on, another disturbing trend has emerged in the evolving landscape of cybercrimes. It is being called “Cyber Kidnapping.” Find out more on it in this episode of the podcast. 

In this episode of Market Minutes, Lovisha Darad discusses about key factors that will guide market direction on January 8. With treasury yields back above 4 percent-mark, will it raise caution among Indian traders? Primary markets too will see some action this week as 3 IPOs are set to hit Dalal Street. Also, catch Mayank Mehraa from Craving Alpha on Voice of the Day segment. Market Minutes is a morning podcast that puts the spotlight on hot stocks, key data points, and developing trends.

Tech companies reportedly fired over 220,000 employees in 2023. It was a jump of 40% from the previous year. And a record too. But take this contrast. Demand for tech talent still outstrips supply. So why is it so? Does India IT have a talent management problem? Or there is more to it than meets the eye?  Next six months are likely to be crucial as IT firms will compete with their domestic as well as global peers to get a pie in the upcoming 16 billion-dollar worth of IT deals. Well, it's good news as deal wins will help boost the IT sector's prospects, and in a way, contribute to the country's growth. The government on its part is getting its expenditure scorecard ready. Interim budget will be tabled in Parliament on February 1. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has ruled out any “spectacular announcements”. But foreign brokerage Jefferies has said the government will boost welfare spending in the interim Budget. So what stance will the interim budget 2024 adopt?  Dalal Street too will keep a close eye on the interim budget announcements. And it will express its pleasure, or displeasure, through stock movements. Moving on, markets are set to kick off the December quarter earnings this week with IT majors, including Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services slated to report their numbers. Here's a curtain raiser on the Q3 earnings season. After the earnings preview, let us now turn our gaze to Indian roads which see over 150,00 deaths every year. Government recently introduced new penal provisions in hit and run cases. But unions representing truck and taxi drivers have hit the streets against it. The government, which is now on the back foot, has assured them that its enforcement will happen only after wider consultations. Listen to this episode of the podcast to know more about this new provision. 

In this episode of Market Minutes, Lovisha Darad discusses about key factors that will guide market direction on December 20. With the negative global set-up, will Indian markets extend their bearish run on Thursday? The primary markets will continue to see a deluge of IPOs, with Inox India set to list exchanges. Also, catch Anuj Gupta from HDFC Securities on Voice of the Day segment. Market Minutes is a morning podcast that puts the spotlight on hot stocks, key data points, and developing trends.

Infosys saw yet another top-level exit last week after its Chief Financial Officer Nilanjan Roy decided to step down to explore external opportunities. If we include Roy, the last 12 months have seen eight seniors leaving Infosys. But why? Find out what could be behind this unusual churn in the IT major. Like Infosys, Indian Premier League or IPL too is seeing a churn. We may see a generational shift in the auction starting tomorrow in Dubai. Here's a peak into this mega event. IPL is also a decacorn now. Its valuation has jumped about 28% in 2023. Moving on, Dalal Street bulls got a shot in their arm last week after the US Federal Reserve signaled a pivot and three rate cuts in 2024. This led to euphoric buying in the markets in the last two sessions, taking indices to record high levels. So will the Sensex and Nifty extend their rally into this week, making it an eighth straight weekly win?   After the financial markets, let us now move on to a scam which is turning big with each passing day. The Maharashtra government has now set up an SIT to probe if Mahadev betting app's owners are linked to wanted criminal Dawood Ibrahim. Listen to this episode of the podcast to know more. 

At this time of the year, millions of men, women and children embark on an arduous journey to their homes in Bihar for Chhat. It's a yearly phenomenon. We know it. And Indian railways too knows it. Yet, every year, we see visuals of people crammed in train bogies. Some are forced to take shelter in toilets, while others precariously hang from its doors in their desperate bid to reach home. But why? Why can't Indian Railways manage the Chhath rush?  Planned introduction of over 3,000 new trains in the next to five years will certainly offer some relief to passengers. Meanwhile, in another good news, the government is exploring the feasibility of beaming TV channels on your mobile phones. This service will not need an internet connection. However, the telecom companies are not happy. But why? And what will be the impact of direct to mobile broadcasting?  Let us now shift our focus to yet another big developing news.  Dalal Street is gearing up for an IPO from the Tata Group after a gap of nearly two decades. The last Tata company to go public was IT bellwether TCS in 2004. And now engineering service provider Tata Technologies will open its IPO on Wednesday. So, is the much-hyped IPO worth your money?  Clouds of global uncertainty hovering over Dalal Street have almost dispersed as of now. Thanks to easing inflation in the US. But the haze of pollution enveloping the financial capital is still there. And the situation is worse in India's national capital Delhi, where GRAP III measures are still in place. But what is GRAP? And how does it help reduce pollution? Listen to this podcast for answers. 

Who will pay over a lakh rupee to stay at a hotel for a few hours. Well, a lot of cricket fans just did it to watch last night's World Cup final. The success of the event once again proved that the 50-over format is still on a strong pitch -- with all its surprises and scares. And it is no less lucrative. Beyond the boundaries, an economic extravaganza unfolded for brands and advertisers, breaking a few records and reshaping the landscape of sports marketing.  Meanwhile, off the field, away from high-pitched sporting battle, India and Australia entered into a supply chain resilience agreement. 12 other countries, including the United States, too are part of it. The aim is to cut dependence on China and help shift manufacturing of crucial goods to member nations. But what is there for India in it?  Markets experts too have cheered this agreement. Moving on, softer-than-expected US inflation data boosted gains on Dalal Street last week, with the Sensex and Nifty indices clocking up to 1.5% gains. The deceleration in price rise also cooled off bond yields, bringing foreign investors back to Indian shores. Rex Cano spoke to market pundits to understand whether the positive sentiment will continue in the markets this week or will the rally witness profit booking? Soft US inflation data is indeed a good news for Indian markets. Meanwhile, heads of the US and China finally sat on a negotiating table after a year. And one of the issues on which they agreed on was to work to curb fentanyl production. Listen to this episode of the podcast for answers. 

It's been a fortnight since Delhi saw a clear sky. The sun has almost disappeared behind a thick wall of toxic grey haze. Worried about its impact on people's health, the Supreme Court on November 7 directed governments of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh to take urgent steps to douse farm fires. The apex court is also exploring long-term measures to address this recurring menace. So will this direction by the apex court solve North India's pollution woes?    Apart from the usual pollutants, the air of North India is also increasingly getting thick and charged with politics, as general elections are approaching. And political parties are trying to outdo each other in wooing electorates. In one such obvious attempt, Nitish Kumar's JD(U) has come out with the report of caste survey. Its detailed findings were tabled in the state assembly this week.  Let us now shift our focus to financial markets. Dalal Street is ready to enter Samvat 2080 after a year, which saw markets reach lifetime highs to retreat sharply thereafter. As Samvat 2079 comes to an end with modest returns, will the gains sustain in Samvat 2080?   Not just in India, but financial markets world over are keeping a close eye on the ongoing war in West Asia. The world is also concerned about the developing humanitarian crisis in Gaza Strip. The only way through which aid is entering into the region is Rafah Crossing. Listen to this episode of the podcast for more. 

In this episode of Market Minutes, Lovisha Darad discusses if moderating bond yields and cooling oil prices can support rally for domestic equities on November 8. Dalal Street will continue to react to a slew of July-September quarter results. Companies like Tata Power, Oil India, and Lupin are set to report Q2 scorecard on Wednesday. Also, catch Mukesh Kochar of AUM Capital on Voice of the Day segment. Market Minutes is a morning podcast that puts the spotlight on hot stocks, key data points, and developing trends.

India's heavy industries ministry wants to extend subsidies for electric vehicles under the FAME III scheme for five years. It also wants a higher allocation to support the growth of electric and alternate fuel vehicles. But the finance ministry is against it. It has reportedly questioned the rationale behind the proposal, saying major electric two-wheeler makers have benefitted the most from FAME I and II schemes and they don't need further support from the government. So should the EV subsidies continue?  According to Mckinsey, electric two-wheelers are expected to account for 60 to 70% of new sales in India by 2030. But rural demand is not growing at a fast clip as expected. While sales of two-wheelers have picked up, signs of distress are still visible in the rural belt. So will the upcoming Diwali lift the spirits of people in villages?  After Diwali, let us now turn our focus to another festival. The elections -- also known as festival of democracy -- begin today with voting in Chhattisgarh and Mizoram. Usually, state elections are a non-event for the markets. But, are the markets viewing the current elections the same way? In our next report, Puneet Wadhwa speaks to market experts on what Dalal Street is pricing in? And what should be your investment strategy ahead of the polls? While soaring benchmark indices may lift your spirit ahead of festivals, a look outside the window may dampen it if you are in north India. Financial capital's Mumbai's AQI too entered the red zone on Monday. But what is AQI? We explain it for you in this episode of the podcast. 

India's national and financial capitals are choking on air pollution. While Delhi has earned the not-so-pleasant sobriquet of country's most polluted city, coastal city Mumbai is a new entrant to the club. In a two-part series, Abhijeet Kumar finds out why close to 50 million people of the two metros are forced to breathe this foul air. And what would it take to fix this problem? We start with Mumbai today.   Aviation is also one of the biggest sources of green-house emission. Recently, a climate researcher came very close to losing his job. The reason? He had refused to take a flight for an assignment. But are aeroplanes the biggest carbon culprit? Let's compare the carbon footprints of different modes of transportations to find out   Wars also affect the global environment badly, apart from extracting human toll. According to reports, the first 12 months of the Russia-Ukraine war may have led to a net increase of 120 million tonnes of greenhouse gases. Moving on, the world economy too is facing the brunt. Indian equities are in the doldrums and high volatility has made it harder to predict where they could move next. However, as Dalal Street continues to witness bouts of losses, should you use the weakness to build your portfolio or is it wise to remain on the sidelines?    Let us now move on to a news which has become a talking point for all those concerned about climate change. In France, two scientists have unearthed a potential game-changer in the fight against climate change. They have uncovered a huge deposit of white hydrogen. But what is it? And why is it important? Listen to this episode of the podcast for answers. 

UPI will soon go live in France. And if talks succeed, Indonesia too will join the growing list of countries which have on-boarded India's payment system. So does this latest linkage with France suggest that UPI's international journey has taken flight? And how indeed can UPI replicate its success overseas? And it is not just the UPI. India's space odyssey too has caught the world's fancy. And if all goes well with the Chandrayaan-3 mission, India will join a club of three other countries that have managed a soft landing on the Moon. This mission will also give a fillip to the country's space start-up sector. So what does Chandrayaan- 3 mean for private sector players?  Like the space start-ups, investors too are reaching for the sky. But amid the ongoing euphoria, there is fear lurking too. Nippon India and Tata Mutual Fund houses have stopped taking lumpsum investment in their small-cap schemes from July onwards. So, why are some mutual funds finding the going tough as regards the small-caps? Is it just the sharp rally in this segment, or are valuations, too, a concern? Will more mutual funds follow suit? And what should investors do?  Bulls, meanwhile, continued to maintain their hold on Dalal Street. On Monday, key indices touched yet another high. But, amid the ongoing party, stocks of online gaming firms cut a sad figure. After the 28% GST, talks of TCS have put the companies in a spot. But what is TCS? And how is it different from TDS?  Listen to this episode of the podcast for answers.

On 12th July at 3:30 pm, the stock ticker HDFC flashed on the trading screens for one final time. After over four decades India's first dedicated housing finance company had stopped trading on the stock exchanges. Now we already wrote a story last year about why HDFC Ltd was merging with HDFC Bank and the implications of that. So we won't get into that again. Rather, in today's episode for 14th July 2023, we thought we'd rewind the clock a bit and see how the entity became a housing finance behemoth. And just to be clear, this is not a paid post. We don't do those here at Finshots. 

The rivalry between two US giants, Google and Amazon, is finding echoes in Indian courts now. On July 14th, the Supreme Court will hear the cross-pleas of Google and the Competition Commission of India or CCI. Google -- which was slapped with a fine of over Rs 1,300 crore for its alleged anti-competitive practices a few months ago -- has accused CCI of “protecting” Amazon's interests. So what is this allegation about? And why is Google attacking the CCI?  India's wearables industry too is coming of age. And the country is likely to become the world's largest market for wearables by the end of 2023. It comes at a time when markets like North America and China are going through a difficult phase and signs of saturation have begun to emerge. But Apple still leads the global wearables market with a 20 per cent market share, followed by South Korea's Samsung and China's Xiaomi. Indian manufacturer Noise is at fourth spot. With stiff competition at the top, can India become a global wearables powerhouse?  Moving on to markets, a buying spree of foreign institutional investors have unleashed the bulls onto Dalal Street in the past few weeks. At a time when markets trade near record high levels, will foreign investors continue to remain bullish on Indian equities? That apart, can new FPI disclosure norms by Sebi impact flows in the near-term?  And it is not just the benchmark indices. The Indian space agency too is aiming for the moon. Almost four years after its attempt to land a spacecraft on the moon's surface failed, ISRO is ready for another shot at the moon with Chandrayaan-3. What is this mission? And why do we need it? Listen to this episode of the podcast to know more. 

The ₹550 crore IPO of what is arguably India's biggest dronemaker opens on Monday (26th of June) and in today's episode for 24th June 2023, we dive into what drives the company. The shares of the Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) —a company controlling over 90% of the power exchange business — have declined ~18% over the last month. And people have been selling the stock as if there's no tomorrow. So, where did it all go wrong? Well, you could attribute pretty much all of this to something that the government did. If you'd like to find out what then click link and watch the video now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgtsquC-SRg

After hitting sky-high levels on busy routes, airfares have reportedly come down considerably in the last few days. Thanks to government intervention, which had on June 5 asked airlines to “self-monitor” the ticket prices. The prices had skyrocketed in May after the grounding of embattled GoFirst airline. But, is that the only reason airfares shot up in recent weeks? And, does that surge point to a regulatory failure?  GoFirst too plans to take to the skies again by the end of this month. Hope that will further bring down the airfares. Moving on, India's tutoring industry is already soaring high. It is no more a fledgling sector. Kota, Delhi, Prayagraj, Chennai, … the list of coaching hubs seems never ending. But where do we stand? How big is India's tutoring industry? And how does it compare to the world?  No wonder, India's ed-tech sector has done so well in the last few years. Meanwhile, it seems, the country's financial markets are not performing that well. Equity investment has delivered negligible returns over the past year. It was close to one per cent. And 2023 has so far proved to be a subdued year as investors track the trajectory of global monetary policy. But other asset classes like bank FDs are offering as much as over 9% interest in some cases. Against this backdrop, is it time to turn towards FDs over the near term?  Weather on Dalal Street and beyond has suddenly turned pleasant. It is all due to cyclone Biparjoy -- which made landfall in Gujarat last week, leaving a trail of destruction at ground zero. But thanks to the personnel of the National Disaster Response Force or NDRF, the loss of lives was minimal. Thousands were evacuated on time. But what is NDRF? Listen to this episode of the podcast to know more.

Last fortnight, DMart reported ₹11.3K Cr of quarterly revenue, clocking a 25% YoY growth, putting it on track for ~₹40K Cr of annual revenue. Radhakishan Damani was a stock trader in Dalal Street. In the 80s, he was head-to-head with Harshad Mehta. Mr D lost big with Apollo Tyres - his first encounter with Harshad. But Damani is not a man to accept defeat easily. Damani learnt the art of trading under Manu Manek - the cobra of D-Street. By the turn of the century, Damani was doing significantly well for himself as a trader. He had won the battle against Harshad, been a value investor alongside Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, and an early predictor of HDFC Bank's supreme success. Yet, he felt anxious to start a business that brought value to Indian consumers for every rupee they spent. D-Mart was born, with its first store in Powai. Since then, it took eight years to grow to 10 stores, but only 5 years for the next 50 stores. It IPOed in 2017, and thereafter never touched the offer price again. With strong unit economics, focus on frugality and high customer satisfaction, will DMart continue being the blue-eyed boy of Dalal Street?
