Siemens Energy may see up to $180 million in outflows after MSCI exit
ADVERTISEMENT Global index provider MSCI will delete Siemens Energy India from its Global Standard Index (Large Cap segment), effective post-market close on June 20. The exit, Nuvama notes, could trigger 'estimated passive outflow in the range of USD 170–180 million,' although the brokerage added that a more accurate estimate would be available once the stock begins trading.
'If stock trades at lower circuit then implementation will get postponed,' Nuvama had said.
Siemens Energy India began trading on Thursday, June 19, after being spun off from Siemens Ltd earlier this year. The stock was listed at Rs 2,850 and quickly hit the 5% upper circuit at Rs 2,992.45 on the BSE, bolstered by investor optimism around the company's role in India's expanding power transmission and distribution (T&D) sector.The shares are currently part of the 'T' Group—meaning they will be settled on a trade-for-trade basis for the first ten trading sessions, limiting intraday speculation.
ADVERTISEMENT While MSCI exclusion is expected to lead to sizable passive outflows, Siemens Energy's removal from domestic indices such as the NSE and BSE early next week is likely to be more muted. 'The outflows here are expected to be minimal due to its negligible weight and passive tracking will be lower,' Nuvama said, adding that more clarity would follow the first day of trade. The brokerage is also monitoring how FTSE will respond post-listing.Despite the risk of outflows, brokerages remain bullish on Siemens Energy's long-term prospects.
ADVERTISEMENT Jefferies estimates nearly 30% upside potential with a target price of Rs 3,700, calling it 'India's largest listed pure-play power T&D equipment player at $10 billion+ market cap.' The brokerage forecasts a 40% EPS CAGR over FY24-27E, citing a strong T&D pipeline and operating leverage.Motilal Oswal resumed coverage with a target of Rs 3,000 and a 'Buy' rating, projecting a 25%/31% CAGR in revenue and PAT over FY25-27 and an EBITDA margin expansion to 21.4% by FY27. 'Margins have already started expanding in 5MFY25,' the brokerage noted.
ADVERTISEMENT HDFC Securities echoed the optimistic outlook, citing Siemens Energy's diversified offerings in power generation, green hydrogen, and grid automation, as well as exclusive rights in South Asia. It sees a 30% PAT CAGR supported by robust cash flows and innovative technologies.Siemens Energy India was demerged from Siemens Ltd in April 2025. The newly listed company focuses on transmission, distribution, and small- to mid-sized turbines. Its offerings range from 250 MW industrial turbines to 800 MW utility-scale generators, and includes power transformers up to 765 kV and EPC services.
ADVERTISEMENT The firm is expected to benefit from India's planned Rs 3 trillion transmission investments through FY30, especially in high-voltage (400 kV and 765 kV) segments. Capex plans include Rs 4.6 billion for doubling transformer capacity, Rs 3.3 billion for GIS units in Goa, and Rs 0.6 billion for vacuum interrupters—some of which will cater to export markets.

Stock Market Strategy: Emkay Global raises Nifty 50 target to 28,000 as GST reforms seen as major market trigger
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement of a significant Goods and Services Tax (GST) reform to be rolled out by Diwali, made during his Independence Day speech on August 15, 2025, is growth-accretive and likely to be a major market driver, according to Seshadri Sen, Head of Research and Strategist at Emkay Global Financial Services Ltd. Emkay Global has raised its Nifty 50 target to 28,000 for September 2026 and recommends investors focus on autos and cement to play this theme. 'The second-order benefits of the GST rationalization are key: this speeds up formalization of the economy and improves competitiveness of Indian companies. We think the government should absorb the revenue loss through the higher deficit, as the growth accretion will cover the shortfall within 2-3 years,' Sen said in a report. According to reports, the government is likely to rationalize the GST structure for essential and daily-use items, with the aim of reducing the tax burden on households and stimulating consumption demand. The proposed changes include eliminating the 12% and 28% GST slabs and consolidating products under three categories: > 5%: Most items currently in the 12% slab (around 99%) > 18%: Around 90% of items from the 28% slab > 40%: Luxury and sin goods Sen noted that this move is a 'massive positive' for India as it provides a consumption stimulus, simplifies compliance with fewer tax rates, and promotes greater formalization of the economy by reducing the incentive for tax evasion. Passenger vehicles, two-wheelers, air conditioners, cement, and packaged foods are expected to benefit the most from the reform. Sen highlighted that the best strategy would be to invest in companies catering to mass-market segments within these categories. Emkay Global's preferred picks include Hero MotoCorp, Maruti Suzuki India, Voltas, and Ultratech Cement, with Bikaji Foods as a small-cap idea. The brokerage expects earnings upgrades of 10–15% for companies in these sectors, even though the direct impact on Nifty earnings will be modest (less than 1%). The brokerage estimates a fiscal slippage of 0.1% – 0.2% of GDP for FY26 and FY27, which could be partly offset by buoyancy and asset sales. 'The government should look through near-term fiscal slippage; India's complex GST is a millstone around the growth neck, and rationalization is worth the risk. Strong macro-financial stability, highlighted by the recent ratings upgrade, makes this the perfect time to push this through,' Sen said. Emkay acknowledged that the 50% tariffs imposed by the US on Indian goods remain a key overhang. However, S&P's decision to upgrade India's sovereign rating to BBB on August 14, 2025, provides a significant counterbalance. 'This is a timely recognition of India's fortress balance sheet and will serve to calm potential investor fears around the impact of elevated US tariffs. It also, we believe, gives the government more freedom to risk a higher fiscal deficit through GST rationalization,' Sen added. Calling GST rationalization a 're-rating trigger,' Emkay Global expects the reform to deliver long-term growth benefits and revive earnings momentum. The brokerage has raised its Nifty 50 target to 28,000, valuing it at an aggressive 20.7x one-year forward P/E ratio, which is one standard deviation above the five-year average. 'The GST rationalization offsets near-term worries on weak growth and tepid earnings. The six-week downtrend should now reverse, as the outlook for earnings improves considerably, and valuations will factor in the broader positives of this big-ticket reform measure,' Sen said. Emkay remains Overweight on Consumer Discretionary, while favoring small and mid-cap names in staples and cement within the materials space.

As an NRI, do I need to file a tax return for Indian mutual fund capital gains?
- Name withheld on request Under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, the classification of capital gains is determined by the holding period of the asset. Since you have held the mutual fund units since 2019, they will be regarded as long-term capital assets, and any gains from their redemption will be treated as long-term capital gains (LTCG). Flexi cap mutual funds are classified as equity funds. Accordingly, LTCG exceeding ₹ 1,25,000 from the sale of these units will be taxed at 12.5% plus surcharge and cess. Unlike a resident individual, you are not entitled to adjust such gains against the basic exemption limit, even if the total capital gains are below ₹ 1,25,000. The law also has special provisions for certain types of income earned by non-resident Indians (NRIs). Under these, if an NRI's total income in India comprises only long-term capital gains from the transfer of a 'foreign exchange asset' and the applicable TDS has been correctly deducted and deposited, the individual is not required to file an income tax return in India. Interest earned on an NRE account is exempt from income tax and is excluded from the assessee's total income, thereby leaving long-term capital gains as your only source of income in India. The term 'foreign exchange asset' is expressly defined in the Income Tax Act to include shares of an Indian company, debentures of an Indian public limited company, deposits with an Indian public limited company, and central government securities, provided they are purchased with convertible foreign exchange. Mutual fund units are not included in this definition, even if they were bought using convertible foreign exchange. Therefore, the exemption from return filing in such cases does not extend to capital gains arising from redemption of mutual funds. Also, under the India-Australia Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), capital gains from the redemption of mutual fund units remain taxable in India. The treaty does not give exclusive taxing rights to Australia or provide an exemption in this regard. Consequently, LTCG from such redemption will be taxed at 12.5% plus surcharge and cess in India. This means will need to file an income tax return in India for the relevant assessment year, disclose the gains from the redemption of your mutual fund units and, if applicable, claim a refund for any excess TDS.
