India-Pakistan Tensions Rise After Indus Waters Treaty Suspension Just a day after India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, Pakistan retaliated by calling the move an “Act of War.” Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif chaired an emergency meeting, announcing a series of countermeasures—halting all trade with India, expelling Indian diplomats, closing airspace to Indian carriers, and putting the 1972 Simla Agreement “in abeyance.” But can Pakistan afford a war? The numbers say no. Foreign reserves stand at just $11.09 billion, barely covering two months of imports. With $131 billion in external debt and $100 billion due in repayments over the next four years, Islamabad is walking a fiscal tightrope. Its economic lifeline, a $7 billion IMF bailout, is arriving in slow trickles amid warnings of “formidable vulnerabilities.” Political instability adds to the volatility. While rhetoric from Islamabad is heating up, experts warn a full-blown escalation could tip Pakistan deeper into economic crisis. 2. Airspace Closed, Ticket Prices Climb Pakistan's closure of airspace to Indian airlines is already causing turbulence. Airlines like Air India, IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Akasa Air are now forced to reroute via the UAE or Iran, adding over an hour of flight time. The result? A potential 35–40% surge in international ticket prices, according to aviation experts. Affected routes include key flights to the US, UK, Europe, and Middle East. Meanwhile, India has suspended visa services for Pakistani nationals. Though ICAO permits such restrictions for security, bilateral coordination is now unlikely, signaling worsening diplomatic frostbite. Hospitals in India are rushing to treat Pakistani patients before a May 1 deadline, with critical medical cases—especially children—caught in the crossfire. 3. Tesla May Finally Set Up Shop in India India's EV policy may soon get a revamp—and Tesla could be the biggest beneficiary. A senior government official said India is open to revising its electric vehicle manufacturing policy once tariff terms are finalised under the India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement. At stake is the Scheme to Promote Manufacturing of Electric Passenger Cars in India, which slashes import duties from 70–80% to 15% for up to 8,000 imported EVs annually for five years. While the scheme had no takers initially, Tesla's February hiring spree in India signals renewed interest. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, commenting on the broader trade talks, said, “There's a serious lack of reciprocity” with India. With both sides looking to strike balance on tariffs and access, Tesla's India debut could mark a turning point in EV manufacturing for the region. 4. Maruti Suzuki Braces for Earnings Slowdown India's auto giant Maruti Suzuki is expected to post a muted Q4 today, with revenue growth of 7% and profit likely down by 4%, say brokerages. Margins are squeezed by higher marketing spends and discounts, with Ebitda likely shrinking by 44 basis points. Inventory levels have surged—from 9 days in January to over 40 now—forcing the company to scale back wholesale dispatches. Still, Maruti sold over 6 lakh vehicles in Q4. Key things to watch: Demand outlook as income tax relief and RBI rate cuts play out. Export risk, especially amid Trump's 25% tariffs on autos. The lukewarm launch of Maruti's first EV, the e-Vitara, which has seen slow bookings ahead of a May-June delivery window. Despite the slowdown, Maruti's stock has climbed 6% this year, outpacing the Nifty Auto index. But investors are looking to today's earnings call for clues on whether the momentum can return.

We've gone through the comments and compiled a list of your most frequently asked questions. Hormazd Sorabjee - Editor, Autocar India - and Sergius Barretto - Managing Editor, Autocar India - answer them on this episode of the Autocar Deep Drive Podcast powered by Kotak Mahindra Prime.
Back in 2009, Tata launched an egg-shaped four seater hatchback that it was convinced would redefine mobility for the masses, Tata Nano. Initially priced at just Rs. 1 lakh, it was designed as the dream ride for the lower middle class. It was a bold and ambitious that unfortunately didn't quite take off. Auto experts say it was because of a combination of factors. But perhaps the biggest learning from the Nano fiasco was that car ownership in India isn't just about wheels. It's about status. Now, almost two decades later, Tata Motors has managed to dethrone India's largest passenger carmaker, Maruti, to officially become the public's favourite. And it's all because of how it has positioned itself since the Nano. Take one of its most successful models, Tata Punch, for example. Last year, this compact SUV became the country's best selling car. It managed to beat the iconic Maruti Wagonr and Swift which previously took the top spot for several years now. So how did Tata Motors get here? In this episode we dive into its journey from the Nano to the Punch.

In this video, Pranay explains the secret of Maruti's success story. How Maruti, a government-owned company, created history in India's automobile sector.

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, January 3, 2024. This is Nelson John, let's get started.The Indian stock market experienced significant volatility in 2024, with the Nifty 50 plunging nearly 11% from its September peak amid heavy foreign investor selling and a weakening rupee. Mayur Bhalerao notes that over 25% of stocks are trading below their peak values, presenting potential buying opportunities. However, elevated valuations, particularly in the mid-cap and small-cap segments, continue to be a concern.The government has approved a revamped crop insurance scheme with a financial outlay of ₹69,516 crore for the next financial year. Additionally, ₹825 crore has been allocated to accelerate the adoption of technology in farming. Sayantan Bera reports that part of this fund will support satellite-based crop yield assessments and a network of automatic weather stations. However, challenges remain, including delays in claim settlements and limited state participation. With 87% of India's districts vulnerable to drought and substantial weather-related economic losses, this scheme is crucial for safeguarding farmers' livelihoods.Traditionally, angel investing—small investments in startups—was dominated by founders of established startups. However, the landscape is shifting as sports stars like MS Dhoni and PV Sindhu enter the early-stage funding scene. Mansi Verma reports that while overall angel funding fell to $213.5 million from $441.1 million and the number of funding rounds halved, over 1,000 first-time angels joined the fray last year. Government-backed incubators are also emerging as key players, creating a diverse and evolving pool of investors.Despite the growing popularity of SUVs, hatchbacks continue to hold a special place in the hearts of Indian car buyers. Maruti Suzuki India reported an impressive 29% year-on-year growth in small car sales for December. With small cars making up half of its portfolio, this uptick is a significant boost for the market leader. Manish Joshi notes that while overall sales remained flat, a 4% price hike is expected to drive profit growth. Additionally, Maruti's valuation appears reasonable at 22 times its annual earnings, he adds.2024 wasn't a great year for Bollywood. Established stars like Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, and Akshay Kumar ventured into experimental films that did not work. Lata Jha writes that while such films can enhance an actor's versatility, they also risk alienating wider audiences. For example, Jigra had a budget over ₹80 crore but earned only ₹30.7 crore. Despite the niche focus, stars maintained their high fee structures. That ultimately resulted in costly projects that often underperformed.
In today's episode, we look at 3 big stories:00:04 Stories Coming Up!00:22 Intro00:55 Why is the demand slowing down in urban?07:10 Maruti's budget car sales are falling—Is trouble brewing?13:21 6 big warnings from RBI Governor20:12 TidbitsWe also send out a crisp and short daily newsletter for The Daily Brief.

Marketbuzz Podcast: Indian markets may see a gap-up start according to the GIFT Nifty. Watch out for stocks like Bharti Airtel, Spandana Sphoorty, Maruti and others.
Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of today's trading session -Thursday resulted in a sixth straight day of gains for the Nifty and this six-day winning streak itself has resulted in gains of over 800 points for the index, powered by the index heavyweights HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank. The Nifty Bank has been a key catalyst in this surge that the Nifty has seen going into a fresh series. -Auto stocks led by Maruti powered the Nifty ahead during Thursday's trading session. India's largest passenger car manufacturer now has a market capitalisation of well over ₹4 lakh crore. The other bits of gains came from Metal stocks, which continued to rally on hopes of further stimulus being injected in China. -Friday's trading session will see the Nifty index rejig taking place post closing and Trent and Bharat Electronics (BEL) will become part of the Nifty 50, replacing LTIMindtree and Divis Laboratories. There will also be rejig in the Nifty Bank and the Nifty 500, and an increase and decline in weightage in a lot of stocks. - GIFT Nifty was trading with a premium of 45 points from Nifty Futures' Thursday close, indicating a start in the Green for the Indian market. Stocks in focus: IT stocks, Prataap Snacks, Biocon, Nuvama Wealth Management, KEC International, Thangamayil Jewellers, Adani Green Energy, RailTel, RITES, Indian Bank, NTPC Green -Stocks in Asia extended gains as risk appetite across financial markets got a further boost from China's latest stimulus measures and upbeat US momentum. Equities in Australia advanced, while China's benchmark CSI 300 Index is set for its biggest weekly gain in almost a decade after officials pledged to increase fiscal support and stabilize the property sector to revive growth. -Overnight, in the US, revised data showed the US economy in better shape than initially expected, spurred mainly by bigger consumer-driven growth fueled by robust incomes. A decline in US jobless claims underscored the resilience of the labor market. But investors tuning into commentary from Fed Chair Jerome Powell on Thursday didn't get any details on the economic outlook or path for monetary policy. -Thursday's Wall Street trading session ended on a strong note, with the three major averages posting gains and the S&P 500 closing at a fresh record for the third time this week. The Nasdaq Composite also notched four straight winning days. -In commodities, oil slid further as Saudi Arabia was reportedly committed to increasing output in December, while Libya named its new central bank governor, opening the way to reviving some crude production. Copper rallied back above $10,000 a ton and iron ore broke through $100 while gold hit yet another record high on Thursday. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the important updates ahead of the trading session of July 10 -The bulls continue to charge ahead. Yesterday, the Nifty closed above 24,400 for the first time and so far the index has gone up 1200 points in a month. -Both FIIs and DIIs bouhth in the cash market yesterday. -Auto majors Maruti and Mahindra & Mahindra, along with ICICI Bank and ITC led the index to newer peaks. ITC gained for the fifth day in a row, and is attempting a retest of its previous highs after a few months of sideways price action. The Nifty Auto index was also the top sectoral performer of the day, ending at record levels. -The broader markets also moved in tandem with the benchmark indices but there were pockets that outperformed. Barring auto, PSU banks made a comeback after a few days of underperformance, while Pharma resumed its uptrend from the week gone by. IT and Metals had a dull day. -Summarising the current market mood, veteran investor Vijay Kedia had a warning. He believes that the right adjective to describe the current market scenario is a "stampede" and not "euphoria" as it has gone beyond the latter. He added that market regulator SEBI will take some steps to stop this "frenzy." -Emcure Pharma is set for listing today. -The market is sitting in anticipation of further cues from the IT earnings that begin this Thursday or July 11. -The focus remains on the globe as to how the US markets, having made new record highs almost every single day, react to Fed Chair Jerome Powell's testimony. -Asian markets were mixed this morning. Shares in Australia and Japan fell Wednesday while Chinese futures pointed to gains ahead of key economic data after fresh highs of US equities. Hong Kong futures contracts rose earlier, following a Tuesday rally for mainland stocks and a gauge of US-listed Chinese shares. -Overnight in the US, S&P 500 advanced for a sixth consecutive session, its longest winning streak since January, as traders held to bets the Federal Reserve will cut rates this year. The Nasdaq 100 also set a fresh record. -Fed chief Jerome Powell was careful not to offer a timeline for rate cuts in comments to lawmakers on Tuesday. However, he emphasized mounting signs of a cooling job market after government data showed a third straight month of rising unemployment. -GIFTNifty was trading with a premium of more than 5 points from Nifty Futures' Tuesday close, indicating a flat start but in the green for the Indian market this morning. -Stocks to track: KDDL, Delhivery, Mankind Pharma, Infosys, Delta Corp, Rail Vikas Nigam, Adani Ports, Bank of Baroda, KIMS, Havells India, JSW Steel Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues
In this episode of Autocar Deep Drive brought to you by Kotak Mahindra Prime, Hormazd Sorabjee - Editor, Autocar India - and Sergius Barretto - Managing Editor, Autocar India - discuss Maruti's history of diesels and why the carmaker abruptly exited diesel engines in 2020.
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, June 6, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:After suffering the worst crash in four years, the Indian equity markets bounced back yesterday to recoup some losses recorded on Tuesday. Nifty and Sensex rose around 3.2% each.The last three have been a roller coaster for investors. Why have they been reactionary and jittery? Ram Sahgal has the answer: BJP being unable to secure a simple majority on its own has spooked investors. They feel that the new NDA government will have to resort to populist measures in order to effect some damage control. This could potentially delay major infrastructure projects like new airports or bullet trains, making market participants unhappy. Ram explains that future market movements will likely be based on which politician gets which ministry in the new government.Like the broader market, Tech Mahindra too rose more than two percent yesterday. But a broader look at its share price and financials would have any investor worried. The IT company's net profit crashed by more than 40%, while revenue declined too. While the overall picture for the IT sector looks grim, Tech Mahindra, in particular, seems to have borne the worst of it. Still, it's not a small company with a total revenue of more than $6 billion. But for Mohit Joshi, this situation provides an opportunity. Joshi took the reins of the company in December 2023. He wants to transform Tech Mahindra into an upper-tier IT company that competes with TCS and Infosys. As Shelley Singh outlines, this is easier said than done. Joshi has his work cut out for him, but the only way for Tech Mahindra is up.One of the main issues in this year's general elections was jobs — or the lack thereof. Creating new jobs should be a central focus of the new government. Devina Sengupta writes that two-thirds of Indian citizens are now under 35 years old. This statistic means that the ongoing job crunch will only worsen as more of India comes of working age. Analysts told Devina that the focus needs to be on higher-paying jobs and getting small and medium businesses to hire employees on a larger scale. Tier 2 and beyond cities especially have immense scope to create and localise jobs, they added. Lastly, a concerted effort needs to be made in the labour market, which is dominated by migrant workers. It's a tough task ahead that will almost immediately assume importance for the new government.If you've been in the market for earphones, it's tough to look past Boat. The electronics company, which started with audio and then moved into wearables, provides a tonne of cheap options for earphones, speakers, and smartwatches. As Sowmya Ramasubramanian and Samiksha Goel write, the company transformed the domestic market for wearables by unleashing an affordable range of products. But now, you have plenty of other options in the same segment, lowering Boat's market share. Now, the company plans to reset its focus to audio, a segment providing 80 percent of its revenue. It's going to take a step back in the wearables segment to assess its options, according to Sowmya and Samiksha's report.For the longest time, a small car in India usually meant a Maruti Suzuki. The 800, Alto, Zen, Swift, Wagon R... the list goes on. But the winds of change have reached the country's biggest carmaker. Alisha Sachdev reports that Maruti Suzuki will now shift its focus to bigger cars. There's a very good reason for this: every other car sold today in India is an SUV. Maruti wants to strengthen its presence in the SUV, EV, and hybrid segments moving forward. This will also see Maruti dip out of sedans too, a segment where it's only been selling the Ciaz and the market-leading Swift Dzire.We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

Since 2021, Toyota and Maruti have been engaged in somewhat of a marriage of convenience. The terms were pretty simple. Toyota would share its hybrid technology with Maruti Suzuki. In exchange, Toyota would get to re-enter the pocket-friendly segment. So what this meant was that the non-premium Toyota cars sold were actually built by Maruti. And the fully hybrid cars sold under the Maruti label were built by Toyota. This arrangement has worked well for both companies for multiple reasons. The biggest of which is the growing popularity of hybrid vehicles in India in the recent past. But in the process, EV makers seem to be losing big time. Tune in.P.S.

Battery electric vehicles might be dominating the news but it's the internal combustion engine that will still be powering the majority of new vehicles for the coming decade and perhaps even beyond. Hormazd Sorabjee - Editor, Autocar India - and Sergius Barretto - Managing Editor, Autocar India - discuss carmakers and the paths they've taken to keep the internal combustion engine firing on all cylinders. Welcome to Episode 10 of the Autocar Deep Drive Podcast powered by Kotak Mahindra Prime.
Tune into this 8th episode of a 10-part series, "Designer's Digest” with Akanksha Sethi. This series is in partnership with @godrejdesignlab. Designer's Digest series is about Design as a profession, its daily grind, the secrets to climbing the design career ladder, and what edge we'll need to thrive in the captivating design world. Starting with a few numbers collected from SIAM, (Society of Indian Automobile Manufactures) and the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) Over 4.4 million vehicles were produced in India in 2022-23. We've around 10 Big players in the Automobile industry, Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai Motor India, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors, Honda Cars India, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, Renault India, MG Motor India, Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto. India ranks as the fourth-largest passenger vehicle market worldwide. 1.2% of cars sold in India were EVs. However, as per ETAuto, EV sales are rapidly growing, with a 230% increase. The Indian government aims to achieve 30% EV penetration by 2030 through various initiatives and policies. To discuss all this and Automobile Design as a career in India... Akanksha Sethi joins us. Akanksha has been a Colors, Materials, and Finish Design, Group lead at Maruti Suzuki for the past 13 years. She did her Bachelor of Design from the National Institute of Fashion Technology. Before joining Maruti Suzuki, she had worked at Amrapali Jewels and Titian Industries. Questions Who is an automobile designer? What are the sub-disciplines within it? You deal with Colors, Material, and Finish. Tell us more about it. What do you do when it deals with CMF? How does one grow in a career in automobile design? Can you describe the career ladder for automobile designers in India? What are the typical milestones, changes of responsibilities, and challenges at each stage? What is the difference when they say, “Manufactured in India” versus “Assembled in India”? How and where do designers from India fit in this setup? What goes when collaboration happens - Suzuki + Maruti or Hero and Honda? What are some of the most iconic or impactful car colors or materials and finishes you've been part of in your career? What makes them special? What defines the success of a good color for a car? How do we define a good, reliable, and safe material? What are checks and tests done to test materials? How have the skills required for automobile design changed after liberalization (1990)? Or maybe when Maruti 800 came on the market in 1983? What new skills are becoming increasingly important, especially in the context of electric vehicles and sustainable technologies when we talk about CMF? What are the major trends and challenges that are shaping and will shape the industry in the coming decades when it comes to CMF? In this 10-part series, I have 4 woman designers and you are one of them. As per the D'Source repository, only 2 women designers out of 19 Automotive designers in India. Can you talk a little bit about gender diversity within the automobile design industry? What unique challenges have you faced being a Women Designer in the Automobile / Man's world? What advice would you like to give young designers entering the Automobile Design world?

The Karnataka government has announced fixed fares for taxis. Now both app-based and non-app based cab aggregators will have to follow a uniform rate chart. One of the triggers of this move was overcharging. But has the state government gone too far by setting cab fares? Interestingly, the licences of Ola and Uber had expired in 2021, but both the cab aggregators have been operating cabs and autos in Karnataka. The state has refused to renew them alleging non-compliance of regulations. Moving on, Bajaj Auto is going to launch an entry-level motorcycle which will be powered by CNG. Something the world has never seen before. Honda had tried its luck on its Activa model, but couldn't succeed. So how will CNG bikes change the two-wheeler industry if Bajaj succeeds in its mission? Staying with the automobile theme, India's largest auto-maker Maruti has lost the tag of the most-valued auto stock to its competitor Tata Motors, which has been at the forefront on the bourses among other peers. While strong JLR sales has been lending support to Tata Motors, why is Maruti trailing? India's financial markets and economy are set to get a leg up after the country's inclusion into JP Morgan's emerging market debt index. But it will also keep the regulator on its toes because of the so-called “hot money”. But what is it? Listen to this episode of the podcast to know more.
Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to start the trading session of November 28 in the green, after Asian stocks edged higher in morning trade. In the previous session, the domestic market ended flat with the Nifty 50 closing below 19,800. All markets have been consolidating for the past few sessions. There has been an absence of major events, moreover, an extended weekend likely kept the range bound momentum. This week, the market might pick up with the GDP data from both the US and India due later this week. In the overnight session, US' Wall Street witnessed a quiet close. Asian stocks edged higher in morning trade while the dollar was at its lowest in three months as investors remained convinced the Federal Reserve was done with its rate-hike cycle and looked ahead to a crucial inflation report later this week. The market will continue to watch out for crude prices that saw some correction with the commodity trading between $79 to $80 per barrel, ahead of the OPEC meeting. The GIFT Nifty indicated a bit of a quiet start with a positive bias. Meanwhile, the Finance Ministry and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) officials are set to meet banks, and payment aggregators later in the day over cyber frauds, sources earlier told CNBC-TV18. The meeting will be chaired by the DFS Secretary. Stocks to watch: Maruti Suzuki, Paytm, Eicher Motors, HDFC Bank, Fortis Healthcare, Raymond, PB Fintech among others Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues
Maruti- Balijit ਮਰੂਤੀ!!- ਬਲੀਜੀਤ The protagonist of the story is a handicapped yet he has a very strong mindset which helps him to stabilize in his life. He completes his education with sheer hardwork and commitment but still somewhere deep inside his mind, he has a feeling that he is dependent upon others due to his physical impairment. He has a companion who has been around since his childhood. The companion helps him to move from here and there, and they both become like body and soul. The problems of companion become his problems and his problems become companion's problem. Hence, they were both dependent upon each other for survival at ease. 'Maruti' is symbolic for the act in which the protagonist persuades the companion to own a car which would indirectly help him to travel as well. The writer has beautifully illustrated the essence of this reliance in their relationship which not only runs the modern world rather it shows the mirror as well.

In this podcast, Peyush Bansal, founder and CEO of Lenskart, India's largest eyewear company talks to Karthik B. Reddy, co-founder and managing partner of Blume Ventures, the importance of hiring the right people in building long-lasting businesses, the pathological obsession of founders to solve a particular problem, which is essential in India's small market, and balancing short-term objectives with long-term goals. Bansal built Bagskart, Watchkart, Jewelkart, before focusing his energies on Lenskart, and the disturbing statistic where said that 75% of people in India who need specs are not them helped “focus his vision.” And as a reward for his clarity of purpose, IDG Ventures was soon on board. Bansal was also inspired by Uniqlo's growth in the West, where it managed to create differentiation in the same category of products. He gives the example of shoes: People no longer just want sports shoes. There's one for walking, one for fast-paced running, and one for slow running. This trend is expected to continue in the future, with eyewear products being offered to cater to every single need of a consumer. Bansal also emphasizes the need for long-term thinking and sustainability in the business. They discuss the success of Maruti and the importance of considering the long-term impact of their decisions. Peyush also shares his thoughts on wealth and the influence of Indian entrepreneur Ronnie Screwvala, who has significantly impacted his outlook on life and career. For more on the importance of hiring right, check out Naveen Tewari of Inmobi's episode on X-Unicorns. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2b0PgICcwg2DQI49zqpWay https://blume.vc/podcasts/blume-podcast/naveen-tewari-on-the-quest-for-a-purposeful-life-the-beauty-of-creating-versus-competing-and-building-a-culture-of-compounding-trust All episodes: https://open.spotify.com/show/227rW4Ee4ob6wRT8U7pJ8s https://podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/blume-podcast/id1651800944 https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub21ueWNvbnRlbnQuY29tL2QvcGxheWxpc3QvNGJiMzM3MDQtNjE1Yi00MDU0LWFhZTktYWNlNTAwZmQ0MTk3L2IxZjk3NGJiLWUxMWMtNDZlYy1hNzFkLWIwMTgwMDlkZjk1Ny8xMTViMzZlYi0yNzY0LTRiZTEtYThmYy1iMDE4MDA5ZGY5ODEvcG9kY2FzdC5yc3M
We are starting the week with positive cues as far as the global markets are concerned. Equity markets have continued to remain quite resilient despite all the worries. Cues from global markets were very strong on Friday, with Nasdaq up almost 2 percent. However, in the Indian markets, the joker in the pack continued to emain crude oil prices, which gained further traction. Both benchmark titles, WTI and brent crude futures, have now seen five straight weekly gains, which continues to put pressure as far as Indian markets are concerned. Last week, Indian markets witnessed profit booking from higher levels, especially financials and IT, who were among the laggards in the week gone by. Our broader markets continue to stay relative outperformers. On Friday, IT and financial stocks witness selling pressure, with Infosys, TCS were among the top laggards. Indian markets snapped their four-week gaining streak. Going forward, it will be important to see how exactly do foreign institutional investors (FIIs) position themselves in the Indian markets. FII flows continue to remain a key monitorable, given the fact that the Indan markets rally was aided by strong FII inflows. This week, we will see over 350 companies declaring their first quarter results. The key results today include Maruti Suzuki, Power Grid, UPL, GAIL. In IPOs too, the primary market activity is quite strong. We will see two mainstream IPOs — SBFC Finance looking to mop up over Rs 1,000 crore and Concord Biotech looking to raise almost Rs 1,600 crore. Three SME IPOs too are in the pipeline for the primary and secondary market activity. Markets will take direction from the first quarter earnings as well as fund flow activity for this week as well.
Vegetable prices have increased considerably in several states. Tomatoes are selling at over 120 rupees a kg in Delhi and some other big cities. Supply disruption caused by rains in producing regions is one of the key reasons for this inflation in vegetables prices. And it comes when India's central bank, RBI, had just started to breathe easy on the inflation front. So, will this development complicate RBI's job? And, will it have any impact on its future rate actions? Car prices too have shot up considerably in the last few years. But that has hardly cast any shadow over the sales. New models are hitting the roads almost every month. Maruti Suzuki recently unveiled its priciest car till date. A rebadged version of the Toyota Innova HyCross MPV, Maruti's Invicto will come in the range of 24 to 28 lakhs. This vehicle is a result of the collaboration between Maruti Suzuki and Toyota. So is Maruti becoming too dependent on Toyota? Buoyed by the launch of Invicto, the shares of Maruti Suzuki India crossed Rs 10,000 milestone for the first time ever this week. Moving on, the mergers of HDFC twins and then the IDFC twins have put a spotlight on NBFC space, especially the banking segment. This has intensified competition in the financial sector of the country. Will the state-owned banks also come together to ward off the heat? And how should investors approach the pack? After the markets, let us now turn our gaze to snow-capped mountains of Kashmir. Just about 15-km from Srinagar, in the town of Pampore, purple crocus flower fields will be a dazzling sight in a few months from now. Its yield, called Kashmiri saffron, is famous for its distinct aroma and quality. But why is Kashmir's saffron so special? And expensive too? Listen to this episode of the podcast for answers.

Hanuman is a Hindu god and the companion of the god Rama. Hanuman is often referred to as the son of Vayu, the wind god. One account states that when Anjana was worshipping Shiva, the king of Ayodhya Dashrath was also performing a puja which begot him with sons Rama, Lakshmana, Bharatha and Shatrughna. They were born when his wives consumed a pudding that was blessed by the Gods and passed onto them after the puja. A hawk snatched a portion of the pudding while it was being handed over and flew away with it. The wind god Vayu delivered the portion to the hands of Anjana who consumed it and was blessed with Hanuman as a child. Hanuman is usually depicted as a muscular and exceptionally well built humanoid monkey. He has a distinct apelike face but with other physical features of that of a man excluding a powerful tail. Hanuman was born on the mountain Anjaneri. His mother Anjana was an apsara who was born on earth after suffering a curse. She was redeemed by giving birth to a son. The Ramayana states that his father, Kesari, was the king of a place called Sumeru. For 12 long years, Anjana and Kesari prayed for a son to Lord Shiva and was eventually blessed with a son.He is also the son of Vayu, who in various stories played a crucial role in his birth. Another tradition says that Anjana and her husband Kesari prayed to Shiva for a child. By Shiva's direction, Vayu transferred his male energy to Anjana's womb. Accordingly, Hanuman is identified as the son of the Vayu.The origin of the word Hanuman is unclear. One interpretation is that it refers to a character with a mutilated jaw. This supports a Puranic legend where Hanuman, as an infant, mistakes the Sun for a fruit and makes a leap towards it. He is wounded in the jaw when he is thrown back to earth by the sun God.Hanumat, Anuman, Hanumantha, and Hanumanthudu are some of the names that have linguistic variations of “Hanuman”. These names are often used in rural India. Anjaniyar, Anjaneyar, and Anjaneya are also used in Southern India to indicate that he is the son of Anjana.Vayuputra/ Pavanputra – the son of the Vayu deva, Vajrang Bali/Bajrang Bali – “the strong one (bali), who had limbs (anga) as hard or as tough as vajra (diamond)”, Sankata Mochana – “the remover of dangers, hardships, or hurdles”, Maruti – “son of Maruta” (another name of Vayu deva), Kapeeshwara – “Lord of monkeys”, Rama Doota – “the messenger of Lord Rama”, Mahakaya – “gigantic”, Vira/Mahavira – “most valiant”, Mahabala/Mahabali – “the strongest one” are some other common names we hear from other parts of India.Hanuman is blessed with numerous gifts, powers and abilities but is also cursed with the fact that he is never aware of his powers. Some his abilities include being immortal, being a bramhachari who can control all kinds of temptations, being a shapeshifter, extraordinary strength, knowledge of Vedas and a healer of diseases.Hanuman as a deity has influence over Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and other traditional religions of South East Asia. He is seen in drawing and historical representations of various Asian cultures like Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Cambodia. He is also a common fixture of Ramlila celebrations and also has temples dedicated to him all over India.Read about Hanuman at https://mythlok.com/hanuman/
