Stocks to buy under ₹100: Experts recommend four shares to buy today ahead of Independence Day
Stocks to buy under ₹ 100: Amid news reports of Prime Minister Narendra Modi visiting the US to attend the UN General Assembly, raising hopes of bilateral discussions amid rising trade tensions between the two nations, the Indian stock market registered a strong bounce back on Wednesday. The Nifty 50 index finished 131 points higher at 24,619, the BSE Sensex ended 304 points higher at 80,539, while the Bank Nifty index gained 137 points and closed at 55,181. On the diplomatic front, India's External Affairs Minister is set to visit Russia on August 21 to meet his counterpart on the sidelines of the SCO meeting—just days after the crucial Russia–US Presidential meeting scheduled for August 15 in Alaska. Any breakthrough from these engagements could raise hopes for removing secondary tariffs imposed on India over its Russian oil imports. On the Indian stock market's outlook today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research — Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, "We expect the market to remain range-bound, and domestic-facing themes are likely to be in favour amidst caution over Trump tariffs and the outcome of the US-Russia peace talks scheduled for Friday." Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 index, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, "The short-term trend of the Nifty 50 index remains positive. A decisive move above the crucial hurdle of 24,700 levels could open further upside towards 25,000 in the near term. Immediate support for Nifty today is placed at 24,465." On the outlook of the Bank Nifty today, Shiju Kuthupalakkal, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, "The Bank Nifty index was once again overall sluggish with no clear directional move and would need a decisive breach above the 56,000 zone to get some conviction and thereafter gain momentum. With the index precariously placed at the current juncture, as said earlier, a decisive breach below the 54,400 zone shall trigger intensified selling pressure, overall weakening the trend, with the next major support positioned near the important 200-period SMA at the 52,700 zone." Regarding stocks to buy today, market experts Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking; Sugandha Sachdeva, Founder of SS WealthStreet; and Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment, recommended four intraday stocks for today under ₹ 100: Mohit Industries, Coffee Day Enterprises, Emami Paper Mills, and Geojit Financial Services. 1] Mohit Industries: Buy at ₹ 35.55, Target ₹ 38.20, Stop Loss ₹ 34.15; and 2] Coffee Day Enterprises: Buy at ₹ 38.10, Target ₹ 41.15, Stop Loss ₹ 36.70. 3] Emami Paper Mills: Buy at ₹ 92.70, Targets ₹ 96.50, ₹ 97.70, Stop Loss ₹ 89.20. 4] Geojit Financial Services: Buy at ₹ 73, Target ₹ 78, Stop Loss ₹ 70.

PM Narendra Modi to inaugurate UER II, two Dwarka expressway packages on Sunday
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate four out of five packages of the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) and the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway, comprising phases three and four of the project, on Sunday afternoon, senior National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) officials said. Both the roads will be opened for traffic after the inauguration by the Prime Minister (Parveen Kumar/Hindustan Times) The inauguration ceremony will be held at Rohini, and the Prime Minister is expected to visit both projects during the event. 'Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the package three and four of Dwarka Expressway and four packages of Urban Extension Road-II connecting Mahipalpur near IGI airport with Alipur in North Delhi, linking it with NH-44. These two roads will significantly reduce congestion in and around Delhi and NCR,' a senior NHAI official said. According to NHAI, packages three and four of the Dwarka Expressway, measuring 10.1km, fall within Delhi and include a 5.1km-long tunnel connecting the road with IGI Airport, also easing access to Gurugram. Packages one and two, covering the Haryana section of the 29km road between Mahipalpur and Kherki Daula on NH-48, were inaugurated by the Prime Minister in March 2024. Both the roads will be opened for traffic after the inauguration by the Prime Minister, said NHAI officials. As per the highway authority, the opening of UER-II is expected to reduce the travel time from Gurugram and Delhi to Sonipat, Panipat, Punjab, J&K from Delhi border to IGI Airport considerably. The UER-II project, originally conceptualised by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) as part of the Delhi Master Plan to serve as the city's third ring road, faced years of delays due to land acquisition issues, encroachments, and other hurdles. On DDA's request, NHAI later declared UER-II a National Highway. The 75.71km road has been developed in five packages at a cost of ₹6,445 crore, with 54.21km in Delhi and 21.50km in Haryana. Once operational, UER-II will allow residents of Gurugram, west and south Delhi to travel towards NH-44 and reach Chandigarh, Punjab, and Jammu & Kashmir faster by bypassing congestion at Dhaula Kuan and the city's ring roads. A senior official working on the Dwarka Expressway said the tunnel has been cleaned and given a 'fresh makeover' for the high-profile event. 'It is likely that the Prime Minister will visit both the projects, first inspecting the Dwarka Expressway and then moving towards Rohini using UER-II road, which is also being inaugurated,' the official said.
