, the Indian equity benchmark indices, were volatile in opening trade on Tuesday. While Nifty50 went below 24,650, BSE Sensex was near 81,000. At 9:35 AM, Nifty50 was trading at 24,644.90, down 72 points or 0.29%.
BSE Sensex was at 81,045.85, down 328 points or 0.40%.
Market experts anticipate continued consolidation amidst unfavourable global indicators, though robust domestic economic factors and possible RBI interest rate reductions might provide support.
VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited says, 'During a consolidation phase, where the market moves within a range, buy on dips is the ideal strategy.
And this strategy is working well now. With a lot of uncertainty in geopolitics, tariffs and trade the market will continue to remain volatile. Therefore, investors may persist with the strategy of buying on dips.
'The concern in the market now is the high valuation, particularly in the broader market. But the trends in money flows into the market and the healthy trend of retail investors persisting with their investment for longer periods, indicate that Indian equities will remain at higher valuations for an extended period of time.

Top metros dearer than Pune in co-living rent, except Chennai

Pune: Co-living rentals in Pune are easier on the wallets of renters compared to other metro cities in the country but are marginally costlier than those in Chennai. This is due to the correspondingly lower average rent of entry-level apartments in the city, data from real estate services firm Colliers India showed. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The average co-living rent in Pune ranges from Rs 9,500 to Rs 15,700 per month, while the average rent of a premium co-living facility in a city like Bengaluru or Mumbai is Rs 23,700 and Rs 27,500 per month, respectively. The differential in rent between co-living and regular apartments for all cities is around 25-35%. Despite being the cheaper option, availability of co-living facilities is very limited as it is a relatively untapped market. Colliers India estimated that the overall capacity of the co-living segment is very low at 3 lakh beds compared to 5 crore migrant population moving within the country. However, it is expected to grow to 10 lakh beds by 2030 as more developers enter the segment. In Pune, developers are increasingly incorporating co-living units into standalone or mixed-use developments to cater to the growing demand, Manish Jain, president, Credai's Pune chapter, said. Co-living involves tenants sharing common facilities and spaces while having their own private rooms. It is particularly suitable for single occupants who are not immediately looking to buy a home, want to save on rent, and desire flexibility in the duration of their stay. Typically, the duration of stay ranges from eight to 12 months. "This sector has seen a rebound in Pune post-pandemic, especially during the last couple of years, with most companies from the IT sector adopting a flexible model for work from home and office," Saurabh Garg, co-founder, NoBroker, said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Co-living is mostly favoured among the service industry-intensive areas, such as Hinjewadi and Kharadi, on the western and eastern sides of the city, and in some pockets, including Vimannagar and Kalyaninagar. Besides single professionals, industry experts expect demand from postgraduate students, as not all educational institutes can accommodate the increasing number of students in their hostels. Rising migration to the top metro cities and the growing preference of white-collar workers for professionally managed spaces are also driving growth in the co-living sector. "With over 1,400 colleges and thriving job opportunities in areas like Hinjewadi, Kharadi, and Chakan, the city continues to attract young professionals and students aged 25–35. For this segment, co-living offers an ideal solution that is affordable, well-maintained, and in preferred locations," said Jain.

Soon, a policy to help position UP as hub of sustainable aviation fuel

Lucknow: Finding potential in the evolving Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) sector, which is emerging as a key solution in the global effort to decarbonise aviation, the Uttar Pradesh govt is set to come up with a SAF manufacturing policy. A draft version of the policy, which will be effective for a period of five years from the date of promulgation, is now up for comments and suggestions. "The policy aims to position UP as a leading hub for SAF manufacturing in India, enhance energy security, support decarbonisation of the aviation sector, and generate green employment opportunities through innovation, investment, and public-private partnership," said a senior officer in the state govt. The officer informed that Invest UP will be the nodal agency for sanction and disbursement of fiscal incentives to SAF units that come up under the policy. As per the draft, in addition to the primary goals, the policy also aims to support research, innovation, and technology partnerships in SAF feedstock processing and fuel conversion. It seeks to create rural and urban green employment opportunities through feedstock supply chains and processing facilities, contribute to national climate goals and India's SAF blending targets, while enhancing energy security, among others. To achieve the goals, the state govt would roll out several fiscal and non-fiscal benefits to willing investors. For this, the draft policy first describes large and mega SAF units based on minimum capital investment. While those with a minimum investment of Rs 50 crore and up to Rs 199 crore will be called large, those with an investment of Rs 200 crore or more would be called mega. The incentive framework also spells out eligibility criteria to elaborate on the fiscal benefits the state govt would extend. The list includes a front-end land subsidy of 50% to units that come up in Gautam Budh Nagar and Ghaziabad and 75% in the rest of western UP and central UP districts. For districts in the eastern UP and Bundelkhand region, the incentive would be 80%. The list also includes stamp duty exemptions, waiver for land use conversion, exemption from developmental charges, capital subsidy, state GST reimbursement, interest subsidy, skill development subsidy, and reimbursement of patent registration fees, among others. The non-fiscal benefits include the development of aggregated feedstock procurement platforms to ensure a steady and quality supply of biomass, used cooking oil, and municipal waste. It will facilitate linkages with farmers, waste management bodies, and industries for feedstock supply contracts, and the development of dedicated SAF storage, blending, and distribution infrastructure at airports and fuel depots at strategic locations having high biowaste production in proximity to aviation zones. The state govt will promote feedstock certification and sustainability standards to ensure compliance and market acceptance, among others. Companies like Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum are actively exploring partnerships and pilot projects to commercialise SAF technologies. Moreover, global players like Boeing and Airbus have entered collaborations with Indian institutions to develop indigenous SAF solutions.
