ISRO making a 40-storey high rocket to carry 75,000 kg to orbit: Chairman Narayanan
Synopsis ISRO is developing a massive rocket, equivalent to a 40-story building, capable of launching 75,000 kg satellites into low earth orbit, according to Chairman V Narayanan. This year's agenda includes NAVIC satellites, the N1 rocket, and launching a US communication satellite. India aims to triple its current 55 satellites in orbit within the next three to four years. PTI ISRO chairman V Narayanan Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman V Narayanan on Tuesday said the agency is developing a rocket as tall as a 40-storey building, designed to carry 75,000 kg payloads into low earth orbit. Speaking at the convocation ceremony of Osmania University, Narayanan outlined the upcoming projects, including the NAVIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation) satellite, the N1 rocket, and the launch of a 6,500 kg communication satellite of the USA using Indian launch vehicles. 'You know, what is the capacity of the rocket? The first launcher, (Dr APJ) Abdul Kalam ji, which he built was a 17 tonne lift-off mass, capable of placing 35 kg in low earth orbit. Today, we are conceiving a rocket to place 75,000 kg in low earth orbit. The rocket is of 40-storey building height,' PTI quoted him as saying.

Nifty 50's decade-long rally faces valuation risks, said Equirus; picks 28 large and midcap stocks
Indian equities have delivered one of the strongest multi-year rallies globally, with the Nifty 50 climbing from around 8,400 in December 2014 to over 26,000 by September 2024, despite multiple corrections. According to Equirus Securities, this surge has been fueled by resilient domestic demand, aggressive policy support, and robust corporate earnings. Yet, with valuations well above historical averages, the brokerage stresses that sustaining momentum will hinge on consistent earnings delivery. Equirus noted that the index weathered the 2015–16 slowdown, the March 2020 COVID crash near 8,000, and the 2022 global tightening-led pullback. Post-pandemic, the rally was driven by fundamentals — India's five-year EPS CAGR of ~18% is the highest globally, while ROE has averaged ~15%, second only to the US. However, valuations now exceed long-term bands, reflecting rich pricing for future growth. Going ahead, the brokerage believes that near-term leadership is expected to shift toward largecaps and quality midcaps, while smallcaps face stretched valuations. Auto, Cement, NBFCs, and FMCG are among Equirus' overweight calls, while sectors such as Building Materials, Industrials, and Defense remain underweight. Equirus flagged caution on smallcaps, pointing out that the Nifty Smallcap 100 trades at a significant premium to its 10-year +1 standard deviation, despite earnings cyclicality that makes them vulnerable in risk-off phases. Midcaps, though also trading above historical multiples, enjoy stronger earnings visibility thanks to sectoral tailwinds and balance sheet improvements. Largecaps, while not cheap, remain closer to their long-term bands and offer a better margin of safety. Equirus highlighted that smallcap forward P/E stands at 1.25x vs. its long-term average of 0.88x, close to peak valuations, while Nifty 50 itself trades above its 10-year average. With CY25 EPS forecasts cut by 13.8% — the steepest since the pandemic — the brokerage advises a barbell approach: favoring largecaps for safety, selective midcaps for structural growth, and caution in smallcaps until earnings catch up. Equirus' top 28 stock picks span across largecaps, midcaps, and smallcaps. Largecap ideas: ABB India, BPCL, Cholamandalam Investment, Godrej Consumer, HDFC Bank, Infosys, JSPL, Ultratech Cement. Mid- and small-cap ideas: AB Real Estate, Alkem Labs, Arvind Fashions, Avalon Tech, Berger Paints, Blue Star, Federal Bank, Gateway Distriparks, Grindwell Norton, Hero MotoCorp, IGL, JK Lakshmi Cement, Jyothy Labs, Lumax Industries, Marico, PI Industries, PNC Infratech, Polycab India, Prudent Corporate, Ujjivan Small Finance Bank. According to Equirus, these companies combine sectoral tailwinds, strong balance sheets, and earnings visibility, making them attractive in a market where valuation discipline is critical. Source: Equirus Equirus further emphasized that Nifty earnings downgrades remain a recurring theme. Over the past decade, EPS estimates have almost always ended lower than initial projections, with cuts ranging from ~2% to ~37%. For CY25, downgrades already stand at -13.8% (from 1,289.7 to 1,111.6), the steepest since the pandemic. CY24 saw a relatively moderate 4% cut, though late-year downgrades emerged across global cyclicals and domestic consumption. The brokerage pointed out that deep early cuts, such as those for CY25, often signal cautious assumptions for the following fiscal year. Unless a strong macro or earnings surprise emerges, recovery remains uncertain.

Additional US tariffs to impact $48 billion of India's exports, govt to safeguard trade: Minister
If America imposes additional 25 per cent on India, around $48.2 billion of India's merchandise export to the US is likely to be subject to those tariffs, the Parliament was informed on Tuesday. Reciprocal tariff at the rate of 25 per cent has been imposed on certain goods exported from India to the US, starting from August 7. Further, additional rate of duty of 25 per cent with effect from August 27 has been imposed on certain goods exported from India. 'The government has taken note of tariff imposition by the US. It is estimated that around $48.2 billion of India's merchandise export (based on 2024 trade value) to the US will be subject to the above additional tariffs,' Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Jitin Prasada said in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha. He further said that the government is committed to secure and advance country's national interest and protect the welfare of our farmers, workers, entrepreneurs, exporters, MSMEs and all sections of industry and 'take all necessary steps to help mitigate impact on trade including through appropriate export promotion and trade diversification measures'. It is estimated that around 55 per cent of the total value of India's merchandise exports to the US is subject to the 25 per cent first line of US reciprocal tariffs. No additional tariffs have been imposed on Indian exports to the US in sectors like pharmaceuticals and electronics as yet. According to the minister, a combination of different factors, such as product differentiation, demand, quality, and contractual arrangements, would determine the impact of reciprocal tariffs on India's exports, including in the textiles sector. New Delhi has reiterated that the latest tariff actions by US President Donald Trump are "unfair, unjustified and unreasonable". "We have already made clear our position on these issues, including the fact that our imports are based on market factors and done with the overall objective of ensuring the energy security of 1.4 billion people of India," the government had said in a statement.
