How will Sona BLW's JV with JNT unlock ₹1,670 crore TAM? Stock up 3%
The company's market capitalisation stood at ₹30,339.98 crore. The 52-week high of the stock was at ₹767.8 per share, and the 52-week low of the stock was at ₹379.8 per share.
Why were Sona BLW Precisions shares buzzing in trade?
The buying interest on the counter came after the company signed a binding term sheet with Jinnaite Machinery (JNT) to establish a joint venture (JV) company in China.
According to the filing, the JV will manufacture and supply driveline systems and components to automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in China and globally.
Sona Comstar will invest $12 million, while JNT will contribute $8 million in assets and business to the joint venture in the first phase. The JV is expected to commence operations in the second half of the current financial year, marking a significant milestone in Sona Comstar's expansion into the Chinese EV market.
The driveline manufacturing operations in China align with the company's strategy to expand its presence in Asian markets, particularly in India, China, Japan, and South Korea, while also working to increase its market share further in North America and Europe, according to Sona BLW
Domestic brokerage JM Financial Institutional Securities believes this JV will represent a significant growth opportunity for Sona BLW as the company would not have entered this venture without a strong anchor customer (mostly BYD).
Based on the brokerages estimates, the JV could unlock a total addressable market (TAM) of ₹1,670 crore (48 per cent of Sona's FY25 revenue), with potential upside if the JV onboards other global and domestic EV players like Tesla in China.
The brokerage has maintained a 'Buy' on the stock with a target of ₹630 per share.

Brazil's Lula plans joint response to Trump tariffs with Modi, other Brics leaders
Brazil's President Luiz Incio Lula da Silva has called for a joint Brics response to tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, positioning himself as a defender of multilateralism at a time of rising global trade an interview with Reuters on Wednesday, Lula criticised Trump's recent tariff wave, saying they reflect an attempt to dismantle the global multilateral order in favour of unilateral deals dominated by the United President Trump is doing is tacit -- he wants to dismantle multilateralism, where agreements are made collectively within institutions, and replace it with unilateralism, where he negotiates one-on-one with other countries," Lula said. "What bargaining power does a small Latin American country have against the United States? None."LULA TO SPEAK WITH BRICS LEADERSLula said he will reach out to Brics leaders -- including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chinese President Xi Jinping and other leaders -- to understand how each country to formulate a collective response."I'm going to try to discuss with them about how each one is doing in this situation, what the implications are for each country, so we can make a decision," Lula said."It's important to remember that the Brics have ten countries at the G20."Lula, who held the Brics presidency, said Brazil will use its leadership to bring member countries together -- including Russia, South Africa and other emerging economies -- to stand up for multilateral trade and collective has recently labelled Brics as "anti-American" and threatened additional 10% tariffs on its member nations. The move followed last month's Brics summit in Rio de Janeiro and is seen as part of Trump's broader campaign to reassert US trade dominance ahead of the 2026 ACCUSES BOLSONARO OF INCITING US TARIFFS ON BRAZILThe Brazilian president also accused his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, of working behind the scenes to provoke Trump into targeting Brazil with punitive trade measures."He (Bolsonaro) is being tried for his actions," Lula told Reuters.

The United States condemned the decision by Brazil's Supreme Court to place former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest before his trial on charges of plotting a coup.- EndsWith inputs from ReutersMust Watch

ON CAM: Putin's ‘Cryptic' Move At Witkoff Meet; Then Trump Calls Talks ‘Highly Productive'
PM Modi To Visit China For The First Time Since Galwan, Timed with Trump's Aggressive Tariff War As global trade trembles under Donald Trump's latest tariff threats, Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepares for a high-stakes visit to China for the SCO Summit in Tianjin (Aug 31–Sep 1). This marks Modi's first visit to China since the 2020 Galwan clash, making it a crucial moment in India-China relations. But the backdrop has changed, Trump's aggressive tariff policies are threatening global supply chains, forcing major Asian powers, including India and China, to recalibrate. With possible meetings with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin on the sidelines, Modi must balance border tensions, regional security, and now a potential global trade crisis. Will Trump's economic aggression push India and China toward a new understanding? Or deepen the divide? As India walks a tightrope, this visit may redefine regional alliances and global diplomacy.#pmmodi #xijinping #india #china #modinchina #scosummit2025 #galwanvalley #indiavschina #putin #borderdispute #indiandiplomacy #chinavisit #sco2025 #modivisit #geopolitics #regionalsecurity #indiaforeignpolicy #breakingnews #trending #trendingnow #toi #bharat #toibharat #indianews 10.9K views | 7 hours ago

"Have To Act Accordingly": Shashi Tharoor Slams US For Additional 25% Tariffs
New Delhi: Slamming the United States for "double standard" for imposing an additional 25% tariff on India for buying Russian oil, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Wednesday said US President Donald Trump's move will make "our goods unaffordable to a lot of people in America." He pointed out that while China imports various materials, including more Russian oil than India, the country has received a "90-day break" from the US tariffs. "Uranium, Palladium, there are various things they (US) are importing from Russia. There is, unfortunately, a certain double standard involved. They have given the Chinese a 90-day break, but the Chinese are importing far more Russian oil than we are. So clearly this has not been a particularly friendly gesture from a country we thought was well disposed towards us, an administration that we thought was well disposed," Mr Tharoor told reporters. Suggesting that tariffs also might signal how the friendly relations between India and the US have been affected, the Congress leader mentioned the possibility of "pressures within India" for imposing reciprocal tariffs on American exports to India. "Very clearly, we have to act accordingly, and we will have to learn our lessons from this experience. I think there is certainly a likelihood that there will be some pressure within India now to impose comparable reciprocal tariffs on American exports to India. So I think we're going to have to really start looking at other trading partners much more in these circumstances," Mr Tharoor mentioned. "I don't think that's particularly good news for us and that takes our total tariffs to 50 per cent then that's going to make our goods unaffordable to a lot of people in America and in particularly when you're looking at these percentages you have to compare them with the tariffs being levied on some of our competitors," Mr Tharoor told ANI. Comparing the tariffs on other countries like Pakistan (19 pc), Bangladesh (20 pc), Philippines (19 pc), Indonesia (19), or even Vietnam (20 pc), the Congress leader said that this will effect Indian goods being bought in US, as people will look for the cheapest option. "This means we need to very seriously diversify to other countries and other markets that may be interested in what we have to offer. We now have an FTA with the UK. We are talking to the EU. There are many countries in which hopefully we would be able to, but in the short term, it is definitely a blow," Mr Tharoor told ANI. US President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order on August 6 imposing an additional 25 per cent tariff on imports from India. Trump cited matters of national security and foreign policy concerns, as well as other relevant trade laws, for the increase, claiming that India's imports of Russian oil, directly or indirectly, pose an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to the United States. Terming the United States' move to impose additional tariffs on India over its oil imports from Russia as "unfair, unjustified and unreasonable," the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) declared that New Delhi will take "all actions necessary to protect its national interests. "In an official statement, the MEA said, "The United States has in recent days targeted India's oil imports from Russia. We have already made clear our position on these issues, including the fact that our imports are based on market factors and done with the overall objective of ensuring the energy security of 1.4 billion people of India." "It is therefore extremely unfortunate that the US should choose to impose additional tariffs on India for actions that several other countries are also taking in their own national interest," the statement added.
