Domestic brokerage firm Motilal Oswal, in its latest note, has maintained an optimistic outlook on Nippon Life India AMC, keeping its buy rating unchanged with a target price of ₹ 930 apiece, a record target for the stock. The target price also indicates an 15.4% upside for the stock.
The brokerage highlighted the company's rapid growth in the domestic mutual fund industry, with expanding market share supported by consistent net inflows, strong SIP traction, and a healthy equity mix.
According to Motilal, the company has delivered the fastest Quarterly Average Assets Under Management (QAAUM) growth in the industry, rising 27% YoY to ₹ 6.1 trillion as of June 2025.
This growth has lifted the company's overall market share to 8.5%, an increase of 23 basis points. Its SIP AUM rose 27% YoY to ₹ 1.5 trillion, with 75% of SIPs below ₹ 10,000, a structure that ensures stability and high retention.
The brokerage noted that NAM remains one of the largest ETF players, with an AUM of ₹ 1.7 trillion, accounting for 52% of industry folios and 51% of ETF volumes on the BSE and NSE. As of June 2025, NAM's Gold ETF ranked among the world's top 10 by AUM.
Motilal also underscored the company's progress in scaling its alternatives and offshore businesses, with ₹ 81 billion in AIF commitments and ₹ 166 billion in offshore AUM. The brokerage believes these segments will serve as incremental growth levers beyond the core mutual fund franchise, gaining increasing traction from institutional and global investors.
'NAM is strategically scaling its Specialized Investment Fund (SIF) platform as a high-potential standalone business focused on differentiated, alpha-generating strategies. Backed by a dedicated team and strong management commitment, the SIF vertical is being positioned as a key long-term growth engine,' said the brokerage.
It also pointed out that the company's mutual fund segment performance reflects its focused strategy on scaling retail participation, driving product innovation, and enhancing operational efficiency, positioning it as a credible compounding franchise in the Indian asset management industry.
The company's shares have been on a steady uptrend, ending the past four months in the green. Even in July, they managed to close higher despite a sharp sell-off in the broader market, while also hitting a fresh all-time high of ₹ 877.65.
This rally has driven a 255% gain from the March 2023 lows. During this period, the stock finished 80% of the months in positive territory, with its strongest month recorded in April 2025, a 25% gain.

Hindustan Zinc joins international mining body amid sustainability push

Hindustan Zinc (HZL) on Tuesday announced that it has joined the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM), making it the first Indian company to do so. The ICMM is a global body of 25 mining and metals companies committed to sustainable development, transparency, and ethical practices across the mining value chain. Vedanta group firm said that the membership follows an independent assessment and endorsement by ICMM's council, which includes chief executive officers (CEOs) of member companies, based on recommendations from the Independent Expert Review Panel (IERP). 'HZL is the first company from India to join this council. It reaffirms our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and responsible resource development, while creating new opportunities to collaborate with some of the world's most respected leaders in mining," said Priya Agarwal Hebbar, chairperson of Hindustan Zinc. As a part of the council, HZL will adhere to 40 performance expectations covering environmental, social, and governance practices, with third-party validation applied across all its assets, she added. Arun Misra, CEO and whole-time director of Hindustan Zinc, said that the move marks a new chapter in the company's sustainability journey. 'For us, sustainability and good business go hand in hand, and it is a strategic imperative to create lasting positive impact on our environment, our communities, and the industry at large," Misra said. Adding to it, Rohitesh Dhawan, president and CEO of ICMM, said that HZL's membership will not only strengthen the council's efforts but also reinforce its own leadership within India's mining industry. "This is a significant milestone for ICMM - our first new member since Boliden joined in 2021 and a key step in deepening our engagement in the region. The growing interest from companies in joining ICMM reflects the positive momentum we're seeing in our mission to influence the broader mining industry," Dhawan said. In its statement, the company added it aims to reach net zero emissions by 2050 or earlier and has already reduced greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 15 per cent in the financial year 2024-25 (FY25) compared to 2020, while increasing production.

Pixxel-led group to build India's first commercial EO satellite network

Giving a fresh impetus to the private sector space industry in India, the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) has announced the selection of a PixxelSpace India-led consortium — comprising PierSight Space, SatSure Analytics India, and Dhruva Space — to design, build, and operate India's first fully indigenous commercial Earth Observation (EO) satellite system under the public-private partnership (EO-PPP) model. The private consortium will invest more than ₹1,200 crore over the next five years to launch a constellation of 12 state-of-the-art EO satellites equipped with panchromatic, multispectral, hyperspectral, and microwave Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors. 'This initiative signals the coming of age of India's private space industry. It demonstrates the capability and confidence of Indian companies to lead large-scale, technologically advanced, and commercially viable space missions that serve both national and global markets,' said Pawan Goenka, Chairman, IN-SPACe. 'The EO-PPP model fosters an ecosystem where public and private capabilities reinforce each other to drive growth, innovation, and self-reliance,' he added. The project will enhance India's data sovereignty, reduce dependence on foreign imagery, and ensure that all satellites are manufactured domestically, launched on Indian rockets, and controlled from within the country. The constellation will feature a mix of sub-metre very high-resolution, wide-swath multispectral, SAR, and hyperspectral satellites, enabling applications such as precision agriculture, water quality monitoring, land-use mapping, environmental compliance, disaster assessment, and infrastructure development. 'Together with our partners Dhruva Space, PierSight, and SatSure, we look forward to building world-class space-tech capabilities that serve the whole planet from Indian soil. This is India's moment to lead the world in space-powered solutions,' said Awais Ahmed, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Pixxel. 'This EO-PPP award reflects the nation's growing confidence in the capability of India's private space tech sector to deliver strategic and commercially viable solutions. We look forward to meeting this challenge at scale, particularly with our upcoming 280,000 sq ft state-of-the-art spacecraft manufacturing facility in Telangana, which will significantly expand our manufacturing and integration capacity. This will allow us to accelerate production, including our Solis+ space-grade solar panels, which have been seeing strong traction in both domestic and international markets for their efficiency and reliability,' said Sanjay Nekkanti, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Dhruva Space. Under the PPP framework, the Government of India will provide strategic, technical, and policy support, while the PixxelSpace India-led consortium will own and operate the EO system, including satellite manufacturing, launches from Indian soil, ground infrastructure, and commercialisation of data services. 'Our role is to deliver radar-first, analysis-ready products with low latency, so agencies and enterprises get alerts and evidence, not just raw data,' said Gaurav Seth, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, PierSight. The selection follows a competitive bidding process. Three consortia were shortlisted after rigorous technical evaluation: Astra Microwave Products Ltd, Hyderabad (with Bharat Electronics Ltd, Sisir Radar, and Spectragaze Systems); GalaxEye Space, Bengaluru (with CoreEL); and PixxelSpace India Pvt Ltd.
