Share Market Highlights: Sensex rises 295 points, Nifty hits 24,461 on foreign inflows; Oil & Gas stocks rally

Sensex, Nifty updates on 5 May 2025: Indian equity benchmarks ended higher on Monday, supported by strong foreign inflows, optimism over a potential India-U.S. trade deal, and falling crude oil prices. The Nifty 50 rose 0.47% to close at 24,461.15, while the BSE Sensex gained 0.37% to settle at 80,796.84. Foreign portfolio investors continued their buying streak, pumping in ₹40,147 crore over the last 12 sessions—the longest such run in two years. The oil and gas sector surged 1.7% as OPEC+ plans to increase oil supply pushed prices lower, boosting refiners like BPCL, IOC, and HPCL. Mahindra & Mahindra jumped 3.3% on strong Q4 results, lifting the auto index 1.9%. Adani Group stocks rallied after reports of the group’s engagement with US officials, with Adani Enterprises and Adani Ports soaring over 6%. In contrast, Kotak Mahindra Bank dropped 4.6% following a profit miss. Broader markets also advanced, with mid- and small-cap indices up 1.8% and 1%, respectively.

    Stock market live updates today: Renisha Chainani, Head of Research at Augmont, on gold price movements

    The bulls dominated the first few weeks of April, while the bears, who tested the $3200 mark in gold, dominated the final two weeks. Gold prices have corrected almost 8% from their high as the worst of the tariff war is behind us.

    But despite the peak in tariff rates, uncertainty has not. Even though markets are breathing easier, investors should not assume that the situation is over. If headline tariff rates remain unchanged, the true danger is long-term policy uncertainty. Making significant agreements during the current difficulties will not be easy. A protracted era of trade fragmentation and policy uncertainty poses a greater risk, even if we have already witnessed peak tariffs.

    According to US President Donald Trump, there is a high likelihood that a deal will be reached with China. He also mentioned that they have “potential” trade agreements with South Korea, Japan, and India. As China announced it is evaluating a US proposal to hold trade negotiations, the study was released. The nation is eager to engage in negotiations, but only if the Trump Administration lowers the 145% tax it placed on Chinese goods last month.

    The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy choices on May 7 may be the next significant catalyst for gold prices. Following the May 6-7 policy meeting, it is generally expected that the Fed would maintain the interest rate at a level between 4.25 and 4.5%. Market players will closely examine the policy statement’s modifications and listen to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s remarks during the press conference held after the meeting.

    The USD may gain strength and cause a leg lower in gold if the Fed suggests that the increased uncertainty around the inflation forecast brought on by trade policy would probably compel them to be patient about rate adjustments. Conversely, gold would rise if the Fed emphasised the deteriorating labour market and economic outlook more, which would support forecasts of a 25 basis point policy rate cut in June.

    Technically, if Gold prices sustain below $3210 (~Rs 92000) this week, they may fall towards $3140 (~Rs 90500). On the higher side, $3300(~Rs 94000) is the resistance level, which prices need to sustain, to climb higher towards $3360 (~Rs 95500).

    Higher Treasury Gains & Other Income Led To A Profit Beat

    Loan Growth Moderated To 12% YoY From 14%-15% Two Quarters Ago

    Deposit Growth Remained Sluggish At 9-10%

    NIM Is Stable But Not As Good As The Top Three Private Sector Banks

    Cut Our Estimates By 4% Due To Some Loan Growth Cuts & Some NIM Moderation

    CITI on SBI

    BUY, TP Rs920 from Rs905

    NIMs Hold, Though Pressure Likely; One-Offs Boost Earnings

    SBI’s flat NIMs (3.0%), 4% qoq loan growth in 4Q was encouraging.

    We expect NIMs of 2.8%-2.9% over FY26-27E.

    However, elevated provisions of Rs64.4bn (incl LLP and other provisions) were a drag.

    There were several one-offs with net favorable impact on earnings:

    i) Profit on revaluation of investments incl Rs38.5bn of govt guaranteed SRs revaluation (one chunky resolution included);

    ii) forex income of Rs28.6bn (vs Rs17bn in FY24);

    iii) Rs16.4bn dividend income

    iv) PLI provisions–industry agreed incentives in staff cost, scheme specific incentives to higher grade employees (Rs13bn in overhead cost), reversal of PLI provisions (Rs7bn in other provisions).

    Factoring lower NIM, partially offset by higher non-interest income, we revise earnings by 1-2% for FY26-27E expecting it to deliver ~1.0% RoA/15% RoE over FY26E/27E.

    Approved enabling resolution to raise equity up to Rs250bn.

    IIFL Capital on SBI

    BUY, TP Rs900

    Core under pressure; but delivers 1.1% ROA

    SBI’s reported PAT was 4%/7% above consensus/IIFLe, but adj. PPOP was in line and PAT below.

    Loan growth was soft due to prepayments by the corporates.

    We expect LDR to steadily inch-up as we build 13% loan Cagr vs. 10% for deposits.

    NIM was stable qoq, and while we build 16bps contraction until 3QFY26 due to 100bps of repo cuts, higher share of MCLR linked loans should limit the impact relative to private banks.

    Non-II was robust thanks to fee/forex income, but opex was higher due to the yield movement and upfronting of PLI cost.

    Gross slippages remain extremely low at 0.4%, but credit cost was higher due to higher write-offs and ‘other provisions’.

    We have built avg. credit cost of 50 bps over FY26-28E vs. 40bps in FY25.

    We tweak our est. by -6/+4% for FY26/27E, and forecast PAT Cagr of 9% over FY25-28E.

    Bernstein On Kotak Mah Bank

    Market-Perform Call, Target At Rs1,950/Sh

    EPS Declines 13% YoY While It’s Up 7% QoQ On Higher Provision Expenses

    Deposit Growth Slows To 11% YoY, Is Lower Than ICICI & HDFC Bank

    Mixed Q4 Result, PPoP Missed Our Estimate By 3% Driven By Lower NII & Higher Opex

    Credit Costs Were Higher As The Bank Strengthened Its Provision Coverage Ratio

    Loan Growth Moderated To Low-teens

    Cut Profit Estimates By 3-5% Due To Lower NII & higher Opex Assumptions

    Nuvama on Kotak Bank

    Downgrade to HOLD; given rich valuations

    TP raised to Rs2350 from Rs2040

    NII & growth undershoot; AQ improves

    Core NII growth is the lowest amongst large peers

    Core PPOP decreased marginally QOQ

    Stock has rallied 20% since Q3 earnings

    KMB is better placed on growth & NIM than peers

    IIFL Capital on Kotak Bank

    REDUCE; TP raised to Rs2060

    Weak business momentum; expensive valuations

    Kotak’s core 4Q PAT was 4% below consensus/IIFLe led by NII and opex miss, partly offset by higher ‘other income’. 

    Loan growth was soft despite StanC’s portfolio acquisition, avg. CASA growth is the weakest among peers at 2% yoy and SA deposits are flat since the last three years. 

    While the recent SA and TD rate-cuts should help cushion the NIM, the rising wedge between loan and CASA growth should continue to exert profitability pressure. 

    Our medium-term concerns are (1) flawed liability strategy, (2) higher credit costs in this cycle due to the risk build-up and no buffer provisions, and (3) narrowing ROA gap vs. peers. 

    We cut est. by 2-3%, but raise TP to Rs2,060 (6% downside). 

    Valuations are expensive in the context of subdued profitability relative to peers.

    CITI on Kotak Bank

    BUY, TP Rs2525

    Fees, Tax Credits Lift PAT; RoA Path Tied to Growth, Credit Cost

    Positives:

    [1] Slippages moderated (1.4% vs 1.7% qoq). PL delinquencies improved, credit card stabilized, MFI stress was elevated;

    [2] Enhanced coverage by 500bps to 78%.

    [3] 4bps reported NIM expansion to 4.97% (though calc NIMs declined).

    Misses:

    [a] Advances growth was modest at 14% yoy/3% qoq.

    [b] Credit cost (incl investment depreciation) inched up qoq to 87bps.

    [c] Share price-based incentives, retirement provisions, marketing campaign, tech spends pushed opex growth by 8% qoq.

    The bank has cut floating rate SA rates, rationalized TD and sweep deposit rates.

    Given 60% of advances are EBLR linked, we build in NIMs of 4.7% for FY26E/FY27E.

    Factoring NII pressure, we revise earnings up 2% for FY26E/27E.

    Mgmt retained 1.5-2.0x nominal GDP growth guidance.

    We are building in 16-17% advances growth over FY26-27E.

    •News Highlights

    INDIA

    1)India’s industrial output grew 3% year-on-year in March, according to data from the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), down from 5.5% in the same month last year due to weaker performance in manufacturing, mining, and electricity sectors. The growth fell short of economists’ expectations of 3.3%. February’s industrial growth was revised to 2.7% from the earlier 2.9%. In March, manufacturing output rose 3% (up from 2.8% in February), and electricity generation increased 6.3%, compared to 3.6% in the previous month.

    2)India’s net goods and services tax (GST) receipts grew 9.1 per cent in April to hit a fresh monthly record of over ₹2.09 trillion, making a significant improvement over the mild 7.3 per cent uptick in revenues this March, despite a 40 per cent sequential surge in refunds.

    3)Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transactions in April this year fell by 2 per cent to 17.89 billion, while the transaction value decreased by 3 per cent to ₹23.95 trillion, following a strong performance in March 2025 due to year-end sales. In March, the volume reached 18.3 billion and the value stood at ₹24.77 trillion, marking a 14 per cent and 13 per cent rise, respectively, from February, according to data from the National Payments Corporation of India. Markedly, April 2025 numbers showed a 34 per cent increase in volume and a 22 per cent rise in value compared to the same month last financial year.

    4)Retail inflation for farm workers eased to 3.73% in March 2025 from 4.05% in February, while inflation for rural workers declined to 3.86% from 4.10%, according to official data released Wednesday. The All-India Consumer Price Index for Agricultural Labourers (CPI-AL) fell by 3 points to 1,306, and the CPI for Rural Labourers (CPI-RL) dropped by 2 points to 1,319 in March, compared to 1,309 and 1,321 points respectively in February.

    5)The rate of interest on Government of India Floating Rate Bond 2034 (GOI FRB 2034) applicable for the half year April 30, 2025 to October 29, 2025 shall be 6.99 per cent per annum. It may be recalled that FRB 2034 carries a coupon, which has a base rate equivalent to the average of the Weighted Average Yield (WAY) of last three auctions (from the rate fixing day i.e., April 30, 2025) of 182 Day T-Bills, plus a fixed spread (0.98 per cent).

    6)As of the fortnight ended March 21, 2025, non-food bank credit grew by 12.0% year-on-year (y-o-y), down from 16.3% in the same period last year. Credit to agriculture and allied activities rose by 10.4% (vs. 20.0% y-o-y previously), while credit to industry maintained a steady growth of 8.0%. Within industry, segments like petroleum, basic metals, engineering, and construction saw faster growth, though infrastructure credit growth slowed. The services sector recorded a 13.4% increase in credit (down from 20.8%), mainly due to slower credit to NBFCs, while professional services and trade remained strong. Personal loans grew by 14.0% (compared to 17.6% y-o-y), with slower momentum in vehicle loans, credit card outstanding, and other personal loans.

    7)In March 2025, India’s services exports (receipts) stood at US$ 35,600 million, registering a year-on-year (y-o-y) growth of 18.6%, while imports (payments) were US$ 17,475 million, up by 5.3%. In February 2025, exports were US$ 31,625 million (11.6% y-o-y growth) and imports were US$ 14,506 million (a decline of 4.8%). In January 2025, exports totaled US$ 34,726 million (12.0% growth) and imports were US$ 16,706 million (12.6% growth). All figures are provisional and based on revised balance of payments data.

    8)In March 2025, the weighted average lending rate (WALR) on fresh rupee loans by scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) was 9.35%, slightly down from 9.40% in February, while the WALR on outstanding rupee loans eased to 9.77% from 9.80%. The 1-year median MCLR remained steady at 9.00% in April 2025. On the deposit side, the weighted average domestic term deposit rate (WADTDR) on fresh rupee term deposits rose to 6.65% in March from 6.49% in February, and the WADTDR on outstanding deposits inched up to 7.03% from 7.02%.

    9)According to data released by the RBI, as on April 18, 2025, total deposits (excluding interbank) of all scheduled banks stood at ₹23.36 lakh crore, marginally lower than ₹23.62 lakh crore on April 4, 2025, but higher than ₹21.22 lakh crore a year ago. Bank credit (excluding interbank advances) was ₹18.66 lakh crore, slightly down from ₹18.87 lakh crore in the previous fortnight, yet up from ₹16.93 lakh crore as on April 19, 2024. Investments (at book value) increased to ₹6.84 lakh crore, compared to ₹6.82 lakh crore two weeks ago and ₹6.30 lakh crore a year earlier. Borrowings from the RBI saw a sharp decline to ₹24,763 crore, from ₹60,031 crore in early April and ₹85,339 crore a year back. Cash balances with banks stood at ₹84,425 crore, while balances with the RBI were ₹9.28 lakh crore. Food credit outstanding was ₹32,125.64 crore for Scheduled Commercial Banks and ₹51,974 crore for Scheduled Co-operative Banks. The number of Scheduled Commercial Banks stood at 135 during the fortnight.

    10)India’s foreign exchange reserves rose for the eighth week in a row to reach $688.13 billion as on April 25, data released by the Reserve Bank of India showed on Friday. The reserves are up by $1.98 billion. Foreign currency assets, a key component of India’s reserves, rose by $2.17 billion to $580.66 billion, the central bank said in its weekly statistical report. Meanwhile, Gold reserves decreased by $207 million to $84.37 billion. Further, Special Drawing Rights (SDR) were up $21 million to $18.59 billion. India’s reserve position with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) rose by $2 million to $4.51 billion.

    11)India’s manufacturing sector saw an improvement in April 2025, supported by a rise in new export orders following the recent tariff decision by the US. The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) rose to 58.2, slightly up from 58.1 in March, indicating continued expansion in the sector. According to S&P Global, the uptick was driven by faster increases in employment, production, and stocks of purchases. The PMI is based on survey responses from around 400 manufacturers, and any reading above 50 reflects expansion, while below 50 signals contraction.

    12) India’s industrial output grew by 3% year-on-year in March 2025, up from 2.9% in February, but lower than the 5.5% growth seen in March 2024, as per data from the Ministry of Statistics. The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) rose to 164.8, from 160.0 a year earlier. Sector-wise, manufacturing grew 3%, electricity jumped 6.3% (vs 3.6% in February), and mining edged up 0.4% (vs 1.6%). Within manufacturing, 13 of 23 industries saw growth, led by electrical equipment (15.7%), motor vehicles (10.3%), and basic metals (6.9%). Among use-based categories, infrastructure/construction goods rose 8.8%, primary goods 3.1%, and consumer durables 6.6%, while consumer non-durables declined 4.7%.

    WORLD

    1)OPEC+, in a meeting held on May 3, 2025, agreed to raise oil output by 411,000 barrels per day in June, marking the second consecutive month of accelerated hikes. This decision comes despite oil prices falling below $60 per barrel, a four-year low, amid concerns over weakening global demand triggered by President Donald Trump’s tariffs. The group, following a brief online meeting, stated that market fundamentals remain healthy and inventories are low. The move also reflects Saudi Arabia’s push to penalize Iraq and Kazakhstan for non-compliance with production quotas and aligns with Trump’s calls for increased output.

    2)The number of job openings on the last business day of March stood at 7.19 million, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported in the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) on Tuesday. This reading followed 7.48 million openings (revised from 7.56 million) reported in February and came in below the market expectation of 7.5 million.

    3)Private sector employment in the US rose 62,000 in April and annual paw was up 4.5% year-over-year, the Automatic Data Processing (ADP) reported on Wednesday. This reading followed the 147,000 increase (revised from 155,000) recorded in March and missed the market expectation of 108,000 by a wide margin.

    4)Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) in the United States (US) rose by 177,000 in April, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported on Friday. This reading followed the 185,000 increase (revised from 228,000) reported in March and came in better than the analysts’ estimate of 130,000.

    5)The US Unemployment Rate remained unchanged at 4.2%, as expected, while the Labor Force Participation Rate ticked up to 62.6% from 62.5%. Finally, annual wage inflation, as measured by the change in the Average Hourly Earnings, held steady at 3.8%.

    6)In the week ending April 26, 2025, the US reported 241,000 initial jobless claims, up from the previous week’s revised figure of 223,000 (initially 222,000) and exceeding market expectations of 224,000, according to the Department of Labor. The seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate stood at 1.3%, with the number of continuing claims rising to 1,916,000—an increase of 83,000 from the prior week—marking the highest level since November 13, 2021, when it was 1,970,000.

    7)The US GDP contracted at an annualized rate of 0.3%, primarily due to a sharp 41.3% surge in imports, with goods imports rising by 50.9%, ahead of President Donald Trump’s tariffs. Since imports are subtracted from GDP, the decline may be seen as temporary. The data sends mixed signals to the Federal Reserve—while the negative growth could support a case for rate cuts, persistent inflation concerns may lead policymakers to hold off.

    8)The business activity in the United States (US) manufacturing sector continued to contract in April, with the ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) edging lower to 48.7 from 49 in March. This reading came in better than the market expectation of 48. The Employment Index improved to 46.5 from 44.7 in this period, pointing to a decrease in the sector’s payrolls at a softening pace. In the meantime, the Prices Paid Index, the inflation component of the survey, rose to 69.8 from 69.4.

    9)The seasonally adjusted S&P Global US Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index™️ (PMI®️) recorded 50.2 in April, unchanged since March. Although above the crucial 50 no-change mark for the fourth consecutive month, the index again signaled only a marginal expansion.

    10)The S&P Global UK Manufacturing PMI in April 2025 was revised up to 45.4, indicating a continued contraction in the sector. While slightly higher than the 17-month low of 44.9 in March, the reading remains below the 50.0 no-change level for the seventh consecutive month.

    11)In March 2025, US inflation, measured by the PCE Price Index, eased to 2.3% year-on-year from 2.5% in February, slightly above the expected 2.2%. The core PCE, excluding food and energy, rose 2.6%, down from 3%, aligning with forecasts, and remained flat on a monthly basis. Meanwhile, personal income and personal spending rose by 0.5% and 0.7% respectively, both exceeding market expectations.

    12)The latest Redbook Index (YoY) for the US is 6.1% and was reported on April 26, 2025. The previous release was 7.4%. This index is a weekly measure of same-store sales growth in the U.S. retail sector, tracking sales from a sample of large retailers

    13)The Bank of Japan (BOJ) left the policy rate unchanged at 0.50%. The decision was unanimous. The BOJ also reiterated its hawkish guidance that it will continue to raise the policy rate if the outlook for economic activity and prices will be realized.

    14)The au Jibun Bank Japan Manufacturing PMI rose to 48.7 in April 2025, up from a flash estimate of 48.5 and March’s 12-month low of 48.4, marking a 10th straight month of contraction, due to weaker demand and worsening concerns about U.S. tariffs.

    15)The HCOB Eurozone Manufacturing PMI inched higher to 49 in April of 2025 from 48.6 in the previous month, reflecting the softest pace of contraction in factory activity in over two years, and revised higher from the preliminary estimate of 48.7.

    16)The Eurozone economy grew by 1.2% year-on-year in Q1 2025, matching the previous quarter’s pace and surpassing market expectations for a 1% expansion, a flash estimate showed. Among the Eurozone’s largest economies, Germany remained in recession, with GDP contracting by 0.2% year-on-year in Q1.

    Meanwhile, France and Italy posted modest growth of 0.8% and 0.6%, respectively, while Spain outpaced its peers with a strong 2.8% expansion.

    17)In April 2025, China’s official NBS Manufacturing PMI fell to 49.0 from 50.5 in March, indicating a contraction in factory activity. The NBS Non-Manufacturing PMI also eased to 50.4 from 50.8, showing slower expansion in services and construction. Meanwhile, the Caixin General Manufacturing PMI dropped to 50.4 from 51.2, signaling a moderation in private-sector manufacturing growth.

    # NIM was stable qoq, and while we build 16bps contraction until 3QFY26 due to 100bps of repo cuts, higher share of MCLR linked loan should limit the impact relative to private banks.

    # Non-II was robust thanks to fee/ forex income, but opex was higher due to the yield movement and upfronting of PLI cost.

    # Gross slippages remain extremely low at 0.4%, but credit cost was higher due to higher write-offs and ‘other provisions’. We have built avg. credit cost of 50 bps over FY26-28E vs. 40bps in FY25.

    # We tweak our est. by -6/+4% for FY26/27E, and forecast PAT Cagr of 9% over FY25-28E. Our SOTP based TP of Rs900 (13% upside) is based on 1.1x FY’27 core P/B and subs valuation at Rs250/share. Valuations are cheap at 0.9x FY27 core P/B for avg. ROA/ROE of 1%/15% over FY26-28E.

    Stock market live updates today: EM Flows Rebound: India Flows Hit 10-Month High, Driven by Large Cap Funds

    · Global liquidity is gradually returning to EMs as concerns over tariff hikes begin to subside. Following Trump’s victory in Nov’24, there was a significant outflow of capital from EMs into the U.S. However, over the past three weeks, we’ve started to observe signs of a reversal.

    · The strongest recovery in foreign inflows has been into India, Brazil, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, while South Korea is yet to see a similar rebound. In India, of the $7.7bn that exited (across allocation & dedicated funds) after the U.S. election, $960mn—or 12%—has returned in 3 weeks. Taiwan has seen a similar trend, with 10% of earlier redemptions reversing.

    · Crucially, foreign flows into U.S. funds remain strong and uninterrupted, averaging $6bn per week. The recent shift back toward EMs appears to be fuelled by new incremental liquidity, rather than a pullback from the U.S. Notably, domestic U.S. funds are under redemption pressure for the past six weeks.

    · India recorded its highest weekly inflow since July’24, at $724 mn. This was largely driven by $487mn going into India-dedicated funds—the biggest in 7-months. All inflows were concentrated in large-cap funds.

    · Over past 6-weeks, India-dedicated funds attracted $1bn, split between $575mn into ETFs & $440mn into long-only large-cap funds. Luxembourg-domiciled funds accounted for 40% of these flows, followed by 35% from Ireland and 20% from the U.S. Meanwhile, Japan-focused funds have seen consistent outflows since Nov’24.

    · In other asset classes, junk bonds saw inflows of $3.6bn this week after 5-weeks of heavy redemptions totaling $31bn. On the other hand, gold funds saw outflows of $2.6bn following 15 straight weeks of inflows totaling $34bn. These movements may hint at an early easing in risk-off sentiment, though broader trends will be crucial to understand global risk appetite.

    Stock market live updates today: DAM Capital on SBI

    BUY ,TP raised to Rs930 from Rs915

    SBI reported a mixed quarter with steady NIMs at 3%, though NII missed estimates slightly as loan growth slowed to 12% YoY. 

    Strong treasury gains and other income offset higher opex driven by performance-linked incentives. Corporate, home, and auto loans supported growth. 

    SBI guides for 12-13% loan growth in FY26, expects to maintain 3% NIMs, and sees 11-12% earnings growth despite some potential volatility from future rate cuts.

    Key Takeaways

    •\u0009We recently met the management of Chennai based real-estate developer, Arihant Foundations & Housing, which is having presence in commercial, luxury residential, senior living as well as plotted development. 

    •\u0009The company seems to be in an inflection point given the green shoots, which the Chennai market is witnessing currently. 

    •\u0009With a view to capitalizing on the tailwinds, the company plans to add 1mn sqft. of development annually to its current area under development of ~3mn sqft. 

    •\u0009The company looks forward to a turnover of Rs7bn in FY27. We are bullish on its longterm growth prospects and are confident of the management’s ability to execute.

    •\u0009At CMP, the stock trades at TTM EV/EBITDA of 17.1x. Based on management’s guidance and our preliminary estimates, the stock trades at an EV/EBITDA of 7.4/4.2x on FY26/FY27 earnings. Currently, we do not have any rating on the stock.

    Business Model

    ➢ Asset-Light Model for Capital Efficiency: Arihant follows an asset-light strategy using Joint Development Agreements (JDAs), avoiding upfront capex on land acquisition. This enables optimized capital efficiency and value creation for landowners, as demonstrated in the Equitas Tower project.

    ➢ Strategic SPV Partnerships for Scalable Growth: Arihant collaborates with strategic partners through SPVs, where partners hold a 50% stake and fund land acquisition, while Arihant manages construction. This model enables efficient capital deployment and scaling with minimal equity infusion, as seen in ongoing Rs4.5bn GDV projects.

    ➢ “Lease-First, Sell-Later” Approach: Arihant secures long-term leases with reputed tenants before selling commercial assets, ensuring stable rental income and reducing vacancy risk. This strategy accelerates monetization and appeals to institutional and HNI buyers.

    Stock market live updates today: JSW Steel’s resolution plan for Bhushan Power and Steel Ltd

    JSW Steel’s resolution plan for Bhushan Power and Steel Ltd (BPSL), initially approved by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in September 2019, involved acquiring the insolvent steelmaker under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). The key elements of the plan were:

    Financial Commitment: JSW Steel offered to pay ₹19,350 crore to financial creditors, representing a nearly 60% haircut against their admitted claims of approximately ₹48,000 crore. Additionally, ₹350 crore was allocated for operational creditors against their claims of ₹733 crore.

    Acquisition Structure: The acquisition was executed through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Piombino Steel Ltd, which invested ₹8,614 crore via a mix of equity, optionally convertible debentures, and debt. Piombino Steel held 100% of BPSL’s equity share capital.

    Strategic Objectives: The plan aimed to expand JSW Steel’s presence in eastern India, leveraging BPSL’s 2.75 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) steelmaking facility in Jharsuguda, Odisha, which included integrated facilities like blast furnaces, cold rolling mills, and galvanizing lines. JSW planned to increase BPSL’s capacity to 4.5–5 mtpa through brownfield expansions by 2024.

    Implementation: JSW Steel transferred ₹19,350 crore to a Punjab National Bank account on March 26, 2021, to complete the acquisition, following approval by the Committee of Creditors (CoC) and the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) in February 2020. The plan included a condition that the amount would be refunded if the Supreme Court upheld the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) asset attachment plea.

    However, on May 2, 2025, the Supreme Court rejected JSW Steel’s resolution plan, deeming it illegal and in violation of IBC provisions. The court criticized the Resolution Professional, CoC, and NCLT for failing to uphold statutory duties and approving a plan that did not maximize asset value or protect creditors’ interests. The court cited JSW’s delay in implementation and alleged misrepresentations, ordering BPSL’s liquidation under Section 33(1) of the IBC.

    JSW Steel noted it was awaiting the detailed judgment to determine further actions, as the ruling disrupted its strategic growth plans in the steel sector.
