Closing Bell: Sensex Surges 700 Points Higher, Nifty Above 25,200; Infosys Up 2%
Last Updated: Sensex Today: The Indian stock market is trading higher on Wednesday, supported by easing geopolitical tensions Sensex Today: Indian equity markets extended their winning streak for a second consecutive session on Wednesday, buoyed by strong buying in media and technology stocks. Investor sentiment improved amid easing crude oil prices and the announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. The BSE Sensex climbed 700.4 points, or 0.85 per cent, to close at 82,755.51, while the Nifty50 advanced 200.40 points, or 0.8 per cent, to end the day at 25,244.75. In the broader market, the Nifty MidCap index rose 0.44 per cent, and the Nifty SmallCap index outperformed with a gain of 1.5 per cent. Sectorally, the Nifty IT and Nifty FMCG indices outperformed, gaining 1.22 per cent and 0.8 per cent, respectively. Global Cues In global markets, Asia-Pacific indices traded largely flat after a positive start. Investor sentiment improved following a potential ceasefire between Iran and Israel, which was brokered by US President Donald Trump. The truce raised hopes of reduced geopolitical risks. At last check, Japan's Nikkei was up 0.073 per cent, while the broader Topix slipped 0.1 per cent. Meanwhile, Australia's ASX 200 and South Korea's Kospi were trading with a slight negative bias.

Futures on the S\&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 each declined 0.1 per cent, while Dow futures also edged down by 0.1 per cent. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, in his latest remarks, said the central bank is likely to maintain interest rates amid ongoing inflation concerns and uncertainty over the impact of proposed tariffs. Powell noted that the Fed is 'well positioned to wait" before making any changes to monetary policy, reinforcing expectations of a longer pause on rate moves. US equity markets ended higher overnight, riding on the back of easing geopolitical risks and dovish Fed commentary. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 1.19 per cent to 43,089.02. The S&P 500 gained 1.11 per cent to close at 6,092.18, just 0.9 per cent shy of its 52-week high.

NDCC Bank investors to form forum in bid to get back funds
Nashik: The cooperative credit societies in Nashik district, which have invested more than Rs 700 crore with the Nashik District Central Cooperative (NDCC) Bank, have decided to form a forum to demand the return of their funds locked up with the bank since since 2017 by pressing their case with the bank and govt. The NDCC Bank has been in financial turmoil since 2017, struggling with non-performing assets (NPAs) and loan defaults. The bank's performance has declined sharply, with NPAs piling up to Rs 2,200 crore, largely attributed to farmers defaulting on loans (accounting for 80% of the NPA amount). "Over 1,000 societies with over 70,000 investors across Nashik district have had their funds (ranging from Rs 20 lakh to Rs 127 crore) locked up with the NDCC Bank since 2017, with no returns even after the end of their terms. To address this, as of now 48 such societies have decided to form a collective forum, and form pressure group to push govt to ensure investors receive their money back," Vishwas Nagare, the president of Nashik District Maratha Vidya Prasarak Samaj Sevak Sahakari Society Ltd, said. Nagare is also the coordinator of the 48 credit cooperative societies that have come together so far. Nagare said these societies, registered under the cooperative department, were only allowed to invest their deposits with the bank, in which the salaries were credited. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "In the past, all the major institutions would use the network of the NDCC Bank to settle the salaries of their employees. Hence, all these societies had to invest at least 25% of their profit and additional sum available with the NDCC Bank. Accordingly, the reserves kept on increasing over time," he said. Despite efforts to recover loans, the bank's progress has been limited. In 2024-25, it collected Rs 237 crore against outstanding loans of Rs 2,174 crore. The bank's recovery target from NPAs was Rs 251 crore, but it has only managed to recover Rs 21 crore. He said since 2017, these societies have not got their deposits back, nor the interests. "The money with the bank is not yielding any interest. The India Security Press and Currency Note Press employees and officers' credit societies have investments of Rs 120 crore with the NDCC Bank. Even the investors are demanding money from societies and banks, but they are unable to return it. So, now a forum will be formed with all these members that will then take appropriate steps, including petitioning the Bank, state govt and even the high court," Nagare added. The bank introduced a one-time settlement scheme, which led to 991 members repaying loans worth Rs 41 crore. However, the concerns remain about the bank's ability to recover the outstanding loans and restore its financial health. The bank is under RBI lens for its banking licence.

'The company has positioned itself as one of the first few indigenous manufacturers of Pyrazosulfuron Ethyl technical, with 97% purity in India.

With the upper price band of ₹ 111 per share, the stocks are expected to be listed in the Indian stock market at ₹ 122 apiece, a listing premium of 9.91 per cent, according to Investorgain data. Grey market premium (GMP) is an indicator of the investors' willingness to apply for a public issue. The GMP remained flat after the anchor round at its current levels. Indogulf Cropsciences is a book-built issue offering a fresh issue of ₹ 160 crore, and an offer-for-sale (OFS) component of 36,03,603 equity shares by the promoter selling stakeholder. The company fixed the price band for the IPO in the range of ₹ 105 to ₹ 111 per share, with a lot size of 135 equity shares per lot. The IPO will open for public subscription on Thursday, 26 June 2025, and is scheduled to close on Monday, 30 June 2025.

Systematix Corporate Services Limited is the book-running lead manager for the public issue, while Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar for the offer. Read all stories by Anubhav Mukherjee
