"Given that APSEZ already has two executive directors - a Managing Director and a Whole-Time Director & CEO - this re-designation will also enable Mr Adani to devote greater attention to the strategic direction and growth of other entities within the Adani Group. Mr Adani continues to serve as the Chairman of APSEZ," the company said.

See what happens next! Story To Hear Undo On a quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis, PAT grew 21.1% over Q4FY25, while revenue was largely flat with a marginal increase of 0.1%. Jindal Stainless also reported a net debt of Rs 3,869 crore with a net debt-to-equity ratio of 0.2x, reflecting a healthy balance sheet position. In terms of geographical mix, the domestic market contributed 91% to the company's sales in Q1FY26, slightly lower than 92% in Q4FY25, but higher than 90% in Q1FY25. Exports accounted for the remaining 9%, with volumes remaining steady despite global headwinds. Live Events The company credited its domestic growth to strong demand from automotive, metro, white goods, lifts, and elevators. Increased government focus on urbanization, infrastructure, and metro projects helped sustain stainless steel demand, particularly for metro rail systems and urban mobility infrastructure. Jindal Stainless also emphasized the success of its co-branding scheme 'Jindal Saathi Seal', which helped strengthen distributor and partner confidence, especially in the pipes, tubes, kitchenware, and sink categories. Initiatives like the QR Code Loyalty Program were highlighted as enhancing customer engagement. Despite facing geopolitical uncertainties and protectionist measures in major markets like the EU and the US, the company was able to maintain its export volumes. Management attributed this to a strategic focus on value-added products and a tailored approach to global customer needs. The company plans to continue exploring export opportunities in line with its long-term strategic goals. 'Despite continued volatility in the global landscape, Jindal Stainless has reinforced its market leadership underpinned by our customer-centric approach, sustained product and special grades innovation, and continued operational efficiency. We are advancing our presence across high-impact sectors such as railways, automotive, and infrastructure, while unlocking new opportunities across the sectors through strategic partnerships and application-driven offerings,' said Abhyuday Jindal, Managing Director of Jindal Stainless. 'Our initiatives like co-branding programmes and loyalty schemes are redefining customer engagement and operational agility. As stainless steel gains recognition as the material of choice for nation-building, the need for a dedicated national stainless steel policy becomes increasingly imperative,' he added.

Prefer TVS Motors and Eicher to Bajaj Auto; Trump tariffs a big sword over market: Dipan Mehta
Dipan Mehta , Director, Elixir Equities , says Trump's tariff increase on India creates uncertainty for exporters. Stock prices are stagnant due to underwhelming earnings. Among two-wheeler makers, TVS Motors and Eicher show surprising strength. Hero MotoCorp also posted good numbers as demand seems to be improving for two-wheelers. Bajaj Auto 's results are decent but volatile due to export reliance . The monetary policy has been almost a non-event and there has been a CPI rejig in terms of estimates that we have seen and all that had largely no impact on the market. What is your read through? Dipan Mehta: Yes, it's a bit of a non-event but that is perfectly fine. The RBI has been doing a great job in terms of expectation management when it comes to the currency or the interest rates. So, there are no concerns over there. What has spooked the market and what is hanging like a big sword is these Trump tariffs and although many analysts and many experts have said that the impact will be minimal, 0.3% of GDP by some estimates , but still a lot of investors fear that it is not as simple as that. It is quite a complicated development because it's not just exports to the US but it also affects the competitiveness of India's exports to the rest of the world and its own competitive position as well.

So, we are in a situation of very vast uncertainty over here and that is impacting the stock prices. Also, the earning season has been pretty much okay. There have not been any great earnings which have really surprised on the positive side. By and large, there have been more disappointments and there is a certain element of stagnancy in earnings which is also resulting in stagnancy in stock prices. Let us talk about some earnings. What is your first take on the Bajaj Auto numbers because largely it looks like a good quarter for Bajaj Auto? Dipan Mehta: More or less, it is in line but the real surprising numbers in the two-wheeler came from TVS Motors and Eicher. Especially Eicher if you strip off the lower profits from the subsidiary which is engaged in commercial vehicles, the core two-wheeler business did very well. Even Hero MotoCorp also came with a good set of numbers. So, we are definitely seeing better demand, better trends for the two-wheeler industry after many quarters. But I am more impressed with the results of TVS Motors and Eicher. Bajaj Auto, of course, had a decent set of in-line numbers, but there is an element of volatility in their earnings because of the large proportion of revenues coming from export markets. So, I would prefer other stocks over Bajaj Auto but nonetheless for the time being, given that there is upswing in the entire sector and the monsoon also will benefit all two-wheeler companies, I would remain invested, but from a fresh investment perspective, there are better alternatives.

Domestic-focused strategy key amid global tariff turmoil: Sunil Subramaniam
"Foreign investors have been avoiding export-oriented sectors due to the uncertainty around tariffs. As a result, sectors like pharma and IT have already seen price corrections. So, if you're a risk taker, you can argue that India is not without tools to respond to tariffs," says Sunil Subramaniam , Market Expert. How does an investor—or how do our viewers—navigate the uncertainty that comes with the recent developments? We are now seeing an additional tariff overhang of 250% on pharma, and there are also threats of broader tariffs on India as a whole. How should our viewers deal with these uncertainties in the current market? Sunil Subramaniam: First, as a viewer, you need to assess your own risk profile. What is your ability to handle volatility, which is inevitable in these times—thanks to Mr. Trump 's tweets and the general uncertainty? Productivity Tool Zero to Hero in Microsoft Excel: Complete Excel guide By Metla Sudha Sekhar View Program Finance Introduction to Technical Analysis & Candlestick Theory By Dinesh Nagpal View Program Finance Financial Literacy i e Lets Crack the Billionaire Code By CA Rahul Gupta View Program Digital Marketing Digital Marketing Masterclass by Neil Patel By Neil Patel View Program Finance Technical Analysis Demystified- A Complete Guide to Trading By Kunal Patel View Program Productivity Tool Excel Essentials to Expert: Your Complete Guide By Study at home View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Famous Celebrities With Unexpected Degrees Learn More Undo If you are a risk-taking investor, you might view this situation differently. Let's say we face a higher oil-related tariff that goes from 25% to 30%, and pharma tariffs rise significantly over time. The key point here is that much of this negative sentiment is already priced into the market. I'm not saying the correction is entirely over—there may be more to come—but a large part of the correction has been driven by FIIs staying away from Indian markets. Foreign investors have been avoiding export-oriented sectors due to the uncertainty around tariffs. As a result, sectors like pharma and IT have already seen price corrections. So, if you're a risk taker, you can argue that India is not without tools to respond to tariffs. For example: Currency depreciation can help offset some tariff impacts. Live Events The government may offer productivity-linked incentives to enhance competitiveness. India can explore alternative export markets like the EU and other Asian countries. So, yes, a lot of the bad news is already in the price. But if your risk appetite is not aggressive, it's better to avoid external-oriented sectors. You should 'Trump-proof' your portfolio by focusing on domestic sectors, which are less impacted by these global tensions. Domestic mutual funds have bought ₹2 lakh crore worth of equities in the last three months—about ₹60,000 to ₹65,000 crore per month. Much of what FIIs sold, domestic funds picked up. When FIIs sell, they often sell across the board, including both domestic and export-oriented stocks, as part of index-based selling. But domestic investors have focused on local sectors, which is why those haven't fallen as much. This creates a degree of built-in safety. And I don't expect domestic fund managers to take big bets on external-oriented sectors just yet. They too are likely to prefer domestic stories. Additionally, the ongoing earnings season will be a key trigger for them. If you are a moderate-risk investor, I would suggest sticking to domestic-oriented sectors such as consumption, banking and financial services, and capital goods (for slightly longer-term investors). At this stage, I'd recommend going through mutual funds rather than picking individual stocks. Domestic funds have already bought the good stocks, and those prices have gone up. It's difficult for a retail investor to identify undervalued stocks within the domestic space right now, especially with earnings season still underway. So, multicap and multi-asset funds could be a good approach. Also, keep in mind the potential for a Fed rate cut. The NFP data in the U.S., combined with President Trump's pressure to appoint loyalists to the Fed, increases the odds of a rate cut. That could be a tailwind for emerging market equities, possibly bringing some FII flows back to India. The key is to take a balanced approach. Avoid tariff-impacted sectors unless you have a high risk appetite. If you look at the RBI's policy today, macro indicators like growth and inflation seem positive. Despite the tariff threats, the RBI hasn't revised India's growth forecast—it's still at 6.5% for the current year. They have access to comprehensive data, so that's reassuring. Also, remember that exports are just 2% of India's GDP. Our economy is relatively insulated compared to many global peers. So, it's better to align with the domestic economy's strength and RBI's stable policy. In fact, the RBI's decision to pause rate cuts suggests confidence in the economy—it doesn't feel the need for additional stimulus. That's a good sign. So, stay confident in the domestic story and align your portfolio accordingly, especially if you are a moderate-risk investor. What's your overall view on the paint sector? We've seen Asian Paints moving higher recently. Today we also spoke to Berger Paints ' management, and they seem quite optimistic about the demand outlook. With increasing competition, do you still favour the traditional players? Sunil Subramaniam: I believe the correction in paint stocks was a bit overdone. These are all fundamentally strong companies. Yes, monsoon season tends to slow down construction activity, which may impact painting demand temporarily, especially in residential housing. So, we could see a soft quarter. However, as private capex picks up, industrial paint demand will grow. So, I think now is a good time to enter paint stocks. As you mentioned, we're already seeing signs of a recovery. Even though the lack of a rate cut may have temporarily affected rate-sensitive sectors like real estate, I still maintain a positive outlook. Paints fall under both building materials and premium retail categories—they straddle multiple sectors, making them more resilient. Also, paint companies are largely domestically oriented. A major positive for their margins is the softening of crude oil prices, as crude derivatives are key raw materials in paint manufacturing. That provides another tailwind for earnings growth.
