Final nod for ₹62,000 crore deal to procure 97 more Tejas Mk1A jets

The government on Tuesday cleared the Rs 62,000 crore order to procure 97 additional indigenous Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas Mk1A fighter jets from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the Indian Air Force (IAF), a defence source confirmed. The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has given its final approval — marking the last step before the formal signing of the deal. The jets will be built by Bengaluru-headquartered HAL, a Maharatna public sector undertaking under the Ministry of Defence. This will mark the second order for the Mk1A fighter jets, with an earlier contract already placed with HAL for 83 aircraft at a cost of Rs 36,400 crore. HAL missed the original February 2024 deadline to start deliveries of the LCA Mk1A, primarily due to delays in the arrival of F404-IN20 engines from the American engine maker GE Aerospace. These jets are intended to replace the last of the IAF's Russian-origin MiG-21s, which are scheduled to retire in September. Amid the IAF's mounting challenges, HAL has assured that 12 Mk1A aircraft will be delivered by the end of 2025-26. The company has already built six, which are currently flying with reserve engines — a temporary measure. The second GE engine for the Mk1A was delivered to HAL in mid-July. The Tejas, an indigenous single-engine, fourth-generation multirole light fighter aircraft, has been developed by the Aeronautical Development Agency. It originates from the LCA programme launched in the 1980s to replace the IAF's ageing MiG-21 fleet — a goal now pursued through the operational Tejas MkI and the planned induction of the more advanced Mk1A variant.

Gaming bodies seek Amit Shah's intervention to stop RMG ban in India

In a joint letter, online skill gaming associations have sought Home Minister Amit Shah's intervention against a proposed Bill seeking to ban all forms of real-money games (RMGs) in India, warning that the move could force over 400 companies to shut down and put more than 200,000 jobs at risk. Industry bodies — the All India Gaming Federation (AIGF), the E-Gaming Federation (EGF), and the Federation of Indian Fantasy Sports (FIFS) — said a blanket prohibition on the platforms would 'strike a death knell' for the industry. The bodies have requested a meeting with the Home Minister's office. They cautioned that a blanket ban could drive millions of Indian users to offshore entities, fly-by-night operators, and matka networks — platforms that operate outside any legal framework, lack safeguards, and are prone to unsafe practices. The proposal to impose an absolute prohibition on such platforms comes at a time when there are close to 500 million gamers in India, with the sector having attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) of more than Rs 25,000 crore, as per industry estimates. Major companies in the sector include Dream11, Games24x7, Junglee Games, Mobile Premier League (MPL), Head Digital Works, Zupee, Gameskraft, and Nazara Technologies, among others. 'The only beneficiary of this Bill will be the illegal offshore gambling operators. If legitimate Indian businesses are shut down, unregulated actors will fill the vacuum. This will erode state and national tax revenues while leaving Indian users exposed to unregulated platforms,' the joint letter said. They added that online skill gaming could contribute to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a $1-trillion digital economy. The government has finalised a draft legislation to ban all forms of online RMG in India and will introduce it in Parliament on Wednesday. The draft Bill, cleared by the Union Cabinet on Tuesday, is likely to bar 'offering, aiding, abetting, inducing, or otherwise in the offering of any online money gaming service' and declares it an offence. Aimed at curbing the sharp spike in online gaming addiction among children and youth, which has triggered mental health issues and financial losses, the Bill also bans any person and advertisement from promoting online money games. Furthermore, the draft Bill proposes that banks, financial institutions, or any other person should not facilitate transactions related to online real-money games.

Expansion plans & easing asset woes to lift CreditAccess

ET Intelligence Group: The stock of CreditAccess Grameen has gained nearly 12% over the past eight trading sessions after the country's largest microfinance lender announced the appointment of Ganesh Narayanan as the new managing director and CEO on August 6 after RBI's approval. The sector indices have gained over 1% during the period. The company has undertaken accelerated write-offs to clean up the loan book , which has resulted in higher credit costs. The situation is expected to normalise from the December quarter. Given the company's plan to open 200 branches in the current fiscal year and receding pressure on asset quality , the credit growth is expected to be higher in the second half of the current fiscal year. Dwindling credit quality in the microfinance segment over the past few quarters has affected the performance of CreditAccess. For its overall portfolio, 90-day PAR (portfolio at risk ratio) shot up to 3.3% from 1.1% in the year-ago quarter. The company has suffered a greater asset quality stress in Karnataka, which accounts for nearly one-third of its loan book. The PAR ratio for Karnataka in the 90 days and above category increased to 5.1% in the June quarter from 2.4% in the previous quarter. Live Events According to the company management, Karnataka has started showing stabilisation in PAR in the current quarter. In addition, the implementation of stricter norms for loan disbursement has reduced the proportion of highly leveraged borrowers (which have borrowed from three or more lenders) to 11.4% in June from 25.3% last August. The credit cost increased to ₹571.9 crore in the June quarter from ₹420.1 crore in the September 2024 quarter. This was largely due to accelerated write-offs as the proportion of new PAR accretion in the credit cost fell to 61% from 90% during the period. This raises hope that credit costs may ease in the second half of the current fiscal year. Apart from asset cleanup, the company has also increased focus on retail financing, which is likely to form 12-15% of the loan book by FY28. The segment contributed 7% to the gross loans in the June quarter compared with 3% in the year-ago quarter. Axis Securities expects annual growth in loan book and net profit at 18% and over 50% between FY25 and FY28. It has raised target price to ₹1,485 from earlier ₹1,350, implying FY27 expected price-book multiple of 2.5. Stock was last traded at ₹1,351 on Tuesday on the BSE.
