Tata Motors demerger effective from tomorrow. What is known so far on record date, listing timeline

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Following all regulatory approvals, the much-awaited demerger of Tata Motors' passenger vehicle (PV) and commercial vehicle (CV) businesses comes into effect from October 1. The JLR-maker has told analysts that the record date for demerger would tentatively be in mid-October, followed by the listing of both businesses by November. Last week, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) had cleared the composite scheme of arrangement under which Tata Motors' CV business will be spun off into TML Commercial Vehicles Ltd (TMLCV) while the PV business will be consolidated under Tata Motors, which will be renamed Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. Under the demerger, shareholders will get one share of TMLCV for every share held in Tata Motors. The scheme also provides for the transfer of non-convertible debentures worth Rs 2,300 crore to the CV entity. Tata Motors said the move will unlock value and give both businesses a sharper strategi...

Hindustan Zinc’s exposure to silver is underpriced, calls for re-rating, says Emkay Global

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Shares of Hindustan Zinc (HZ) could likely benefit from Silver’s remarkable rally and is emerging as one of the biggest beneficiaries as prices of the precious metal continue to surge, up 63% so far this year to $47 per ounce — sharply higher than $34/oz in Q1FY26 and $30/oz in FY25, Emkay Global said in a note dated September 29. Analysts believe the market is yet to fully price in the company’s exposure to silver, even as global peers such as Fresnillo and Grupo Mexico have already re-rated in 2025. With consensus expectations still trailing the rally, they see significant room for Hindustan Zinc’s valuation to catch up — a rating that would directly benefit parent Vedanta Ltd (VEDL), where the company accounts for 40% of consolidated EBITDA.

Seshaasai Technologies shares slump 7% post listing. Should investors buy the dip?

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Shares of Seshaasai Technologies, a technology-driven multi-location solutions provider to the BFSI industry, tumbled nearly 7% from their listing price on Tuesday, post-debut, erasing early gains and raising questions for investors. The stock listed at Rs 436 on the BSE, a modest 3.07% premium over its IPO price of Rs 423, and at Rs 432 on the NSE, a 2.13% premium. However, the euphoria was short-lived as the stock slipped to an intraday low of Rs 405.80 on the BSE, marking a 6.9% fall from the listing level. The sharp reversal, despite the IPO’s strong subscription numbers, has left investors assessing whether this correction presents a buying opportunity. In such a case, should investors now buy this dip? According to Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities, the muted listing of Seshaasai Technologies came as a surprise given its strong fundamentals, reasonable valuations, and robust demand, with the IPO being subscribed ...

GIFT Nifty derivatives diverge from mainland curbs

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] India's National Stock Exchange will offer a daily expiry on GIFT Nifty contracts to foreign investors via a tax-neutral jurisdiction as it seeks to attract more global funds, diverging from domestic markets' tighter equity derivatives rules. GIFT Nifty is a dollar-denominated derivative contract of the Nifty 50 traded on NSE subsidiary, the NSE International Exchange (NSE IX) in Gujarat International Finance Tech (GIFT) City. In August, the contract crossed $100 billion in terms of monthly turnover. Zero-day-to-expiry contracts will be introduced with effect from October 13, the NSE said in a notice late on Monday. There will be five weekly expiries from Monday to Friday, expiring on a daily basis, NSE said. Resident Indians are not allowed to trade in these contracts. India has been pitching the tax-neutral financial centre in Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state of Gujarat as an alternative to centres such as...

Tata Investment shares rally over 17% to cross Rs 10,000 mark for first time. What's behind the bull rush?

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Shares of Tata Investment Corporation surged as much as 17.5% to a new all-time high of Rs 10,391 on the NSE on Tuesday, September 30, as the deadline for Tata Sons to become a publicly listed entity ends today. Tata Sons is the holding company of India’s largest conglomerate. The surge comes amid heightened anticipation around a potential listing. Under RBI rules, non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) classified as “upper layer” must list within three years of notification. September 30 marks the end of that window. A listing could unlock value for Tata Investment and bolster its balance sheet, although the company owns just 0.1% in Tata Sons. The issue has sparked a rare standoff between the central bank and the group. In 2024, Tata Sons wrote to the RBI seeking NBFC registration to avoid mandatory listing. In its last communication in January 2025, the RBI said the application was “under consideration” and that Tata Sons’ inclusion on ...

HUL shares fall 3% on muted Q2 business update as GST 2.0 delays spending

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Shares of FMCG bellwether Hindustan Unilever declined as much as 3% to their day's low of Rs 2,443 on the NSE on Monday after the company said it expects the consolidated business growth to be near flat to low single-digit for the quarter ending September 30, 2025. This comes after the government slashed GST rates on a host of products, including FMCG. The FMCG major attributed this update to the transitory impact due to the trade and channel disruption on account of the GST rate rationalisation, announced earlier this month and effective September 22. “While this measure supports long-term consumption, we have seen a transitory impact in the form of disruption at distributors and retailers across channels to clear existing inventories with old prices. This has resulted in the postponement of ordering in anticipation of receiving new stocks with updated prices and lower orders across the overall portfolio, as consumers delayed their p...

How silver dethroned gold in 2025’s race for returns and why investors are rushing in

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] In a year that’s been packed with twists across asset classes, silver has quietly outpaced its more glamorous counterpart, gold, emerging as the top-performing precious metal of 2025 so far. As of now, silver has delivered a stunning 53% return year-to-date (YTD), while gold has clocked in with gains of 49%. This divergence has not only surprised investors but has also shifted the spotlight squarely onto silver. Its impressive rally today took it to an all-time high of Rs 1,44,179/kg on the MCX, reinforcing its bullish momentum. What’s driving silver’s surge? Silver’s rally is being driven by a mix of macroeconomic and industrial tailwinds.Silver is benefiting from a trifecta of factors—safe-haven buying, industrial demand, and a weakening dollar. The demand from green energy applications, especially solar and EVs, continues to lend long-term strength to the metal. Live Events Silver is often called poor man's gold, but in terms of re...

Why Indian markets have been underperforming peers and why the outlook looks incrementally better

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Over the past year, Indian equities have struggled to keep pace with global peers. While global indices have delivered returns of nearly 20%, Indian markets have been flat to marginally negative—down about 4–7% in INR terms or as much as 10–12% in dollar terms. This has created a relative underperformance of nearly 20–30% over a one-year period—an outcome that is both unusual and, in many respects, overdone. ETMarkets.com For long-term investors accustomed to India’s reputation as a structural growth story, this divergence has raised questions about what went wrong and whether conditions are improving.The underperformance can be traced to a mix of internal and external factors. Earnings growth has been persistently weaker than expected, valuations were stretched to unsustainable levels, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have cut their holdings sharply, and external pressures such as tariffs and visa restrictions have weighed on senti...

Nifty breaks winning streak, traders eye Oct 3 for strong intraday momentum

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] The Indian equity market lost momentum last week, snapping a three-week winning streak, as the Nifty50 slipped 2.6%, closing below the psychological 25,000 mark. The decline reflected the confluence of global trade tensions, domestic headwinds, and sustained foreign outflows, which weighed on investor sentiment. Global concerns dominate The week was overshadowed by renewed global trade frictions, dampening the risk appetite of equity investors worldwide. Adding to the unease were reports of potential changes in H-1B visa regulations in the US—an issue that could materially impact India’s IT services sector, which accounts for a significant share of export revenues. With global uncertainties already high, such concerns intensified the selloff in IT-heavy indices. Foreign outflows continue Institutional flows remained a sore point. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) offloaded more than Rs 5,500 crore worth of equities during the week. O...

Nifty vs gold: 2026 could mark the big mean reversion trade, says Axis MF’s Shreyash Devalkar

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] After a year where gold and silver dazzled investors, Axis MF’s Equity Head Shreyash Devalkar believes 2026 could mark a turning point. With earnings recovery, sectoral rotation and supportive macros lining up, he argues Nifty may finally outshine precious metals, setting the stage for a classic mean reversion trade. Edited excerpts from a chat: Following a year of underperformance, how comfortable are you with valuations in the Indian equity market now? Over the past year, equity markets experienced a sharp correction followed by a rebound. At their peak, indices were driven by euphoric sentiment and aggressive buying from both FIIs and DIIs, resulting in elevated valuations. The subsequent decline helped moderate these valuations, particularly in the large-cap space, where growth has now slowed and valuations appear more reasonable. In contrast, segments such as defence, power capex, tourism, and electronics manufacturing services (EMS)...

Large-caps to buy: For investor with a 2-3 year perspective: 5 stocks from 3 sectors with an upside potential of up to 39%

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Synopsis Consider this. A company has implemented a restructuring plan and the numbers are showing a positive impact. So, should a decline in the stock price in a volatile phase be taken as an opportunity? The answer is yes, but with some caveats. First, don't just jump in and buy. Identify the stock, decide on your total exposure, and buy when a panic phase drives the price down. Also, don’t use money you may need in the near term. Why? Because (though the probability of it happening is low) if a time-wise correction is sparked for any global or domestic reason, then all stocks will underperform. When markets are up and down and bears are all around, there are a couple of ways of dealing with the volatility. One is to just sit it out and wait for things to improve. The problem with this approach is that by the time one figures out that things have improved, stock prices would have already moved up. The other way to deal with volatili...
