Revanth highlighted Telangana's readiness to partner with Japanese firms across diverse sectors and assured the Japanese investors that the Telangana govt is offering policy stability, high ease of doing business, and world-class infrastructure. "Several Japanese companies have already achieved success in Telangana. We welcome many more to design, manufacture, and export from Hyderabad — your launchpad to India and beyond," he said. Telangana and Japan share a deep connection. Like the sun rising over Osaka Bay, a new chapter is rising in Telangana. "Together, let us build something timeless, for Osaka, for Telangana, and for the world."
Minister highlights Hyderabad as a global IT hub
IT and industries minister D Sridhar Babu explained Telangana's business ecosystem, pointing to Hyderabad as a global hub for IT, life sciences, aerospace, electronics, and defence. "We are building India's first Net Zero industrial city— the Future City— on 30,000 acres, focused on green energy, smart mobility, and the circular economy. In partnership with Japan's Marubeni Corporation, an industrial park is being developed. Major infrastructure projects like the 370-km Regional Ring Road (RRR), Radial Roads, and the strategic industrial zones between the Outer Ring Road (ORR) and RRR are ideal for sectors like EVs, semiconductors, and energy storage. Plans for a dry port with road and rail links to nearby seaports are on the anvil," he said.

Best pharma stocks to buy today, 16 June, as recommended by expert Raja Venkatraman
The Indian pharmaceutical sector is experiencing significant growth and transformation, moving beyond generic drugs towards innovation and globalisation. With a robust run seen in this space lately and the strong surge in pharma names in the last few weeks, we are covering some names that are holding some promise. Here are three stocks to trade as recommended by Raja Venkatraman for Monday, 16 June Buy MAXHEALTH (Current price ₹1232.80) Buy BIOCON (Current price ₹355.40) Buy STAR (Current price ₹882.45) Also Read: The capital goods sector gets a power-up, its weight rises in Nifty Outlook for Trading Most of the sectors ended the week in red with Realty, FMCG and PSU Banks leading the way down. The Bank Nifty has not been so strong after the breakout and has actually met with some selling, thereby keeping the pressure on the Nifty too. Fortunately, there has been good activity form the IT index and it is seen heading towards its highs, and this has contributed to some gains in the Nifty as IT majors are well weighted on the main index too. The gap left on the move down on 13 June continues to remain and that keeps a lid on the bullish flag. From the chart above we can see that the trends are down into some strong supports yet again. The dips into the previous supports at 24500 remain an important value support region that can now be considered as an inflexion point going into the coming days. Looking at the Open Interest data, the Put writing at 24500 continued to hold on with the PCR just below 1 highlighting that the bullish camp has more work to do. Markets continued to see uncertainty with no clear global or domestic cues. As a result, we are now in the dark of the outcome of the trends in the coming week. We are likely to witness a volatile scenario in the coming week. Also Read: Escalating Israel-Iran conflict to keep markets on boil in near term IT sector leads from the front as the strong showing midcap IT stocks have been faring better than the leaders. The strong move seen in majority of the IT stocks clearly suggests that the upward traction we can look for some continued upward traction in the coming days. The strong charge above resistance zones around 37500 has clearly signalled a new wave in this index. Until these zones are given up, this index and its component stocks will be in demand. Overall, markets are pointing to a bullish setup, and this can help fuel more upside in this index. Since no signs of a let-up in the trends, we can continue to look for every opportunity to initiate long position. Raja Venkatraman is the co-founder of NeoTrader.

Auto part makers look beyond cars to dodge global headwinds
Facing shifting trade dynamics, geopolitical tensions, and cooling demand especially in the key US market, top Indian auto component makers Samvardhana Motherson, Sona Comstar, and Bharat Forge are either getting into new growth areas or beefing up existing presence in alternative sectors. During management calls with analysts and investors in May after declaring their Q4 results, Sona Comstar (listed on the bourses as Sona BLW Precision Forgings Ltd) said it is looking at railways, Motherson at aerospace, and Bharat Forge said it is eyeing defence and electronics to boost growth even as the core auto business faces challenges. The tweak in strategic direction follows the March announcement by US President Donald Trump that all automobile-related imports into the US would attract a flat tariff of 25%. For these three companies, which have among the highest exposure to the US market among Indian auto component makers, that is likely to hit revenues and margins. Sona Comstar's managing director and chief executive officer (CEO) Vivek Vikram Singh said in an analyst call on 30 April that the developments in the US could impact 3% of its total revenue. 'In our opinion, they (US tariffs) will adversely impact the demand for cars and light trucks," Singh said. Also read | Automakers urge Indian govt for diplomatic outreach to China for rare earths In FY25, Sona Comstar earned 41% of its ₹3,545 crore consolidated revenues, and Motherson 19% of ₹1.13 trillion, from the North American market, the bulk of which comprises sales in the US. Bharat Forge generated 70% of its total exports from the Americas (both North and South America) in the same fiscal year. Sona Comstar said that acquisition of railway equipment business from Escorts Kubota, which was completed this month, will make India its largest market from second largest in the previous financial year. The company had announced the acquisition of Escorts Kubota in October 2024 for ₹1,600 crore, marking its entry in the railway equipment space. Motherson's revenue from aerospace components rose from ₹339 crore in FY24 to ₹1,749 crore in FY25, growing at a pace of 415%, albeit on a low base. The company is also diversifying and expanding into areas like consumer electronics and semiconductor manufacturing machines. 'We expect this to grow even further in the coming quarters," said Laksh Vaaman Sehgal, director at Samvardhana Motherson, on the non-automotive revenue. Per its investor presentation for Q4 FY25, Motherson plans to spend about 70% of ₹3,000 crore earmarked for growth capital expenditure on non-auto related business in the current fiscal year (FY26).

'Industrial saw growth across verticals with Defence, Heavy Horse Power Engines registering robust performance. In the medium term, scale up of the Defence business and opportunities for components supply to Small Nuclear Reactors would be key to growth," its investor presentation said. To be sure, Bharat Forge, which has been in the defence business since 2010, is the most diversified among these three companies with more than seven lines of business, including auto parts, defence, aerospace, and electronics, among others. The core auto segment now forms just 53% of its overall business. Amit Kalyani, vice chairman and joint managing director at Bharat Forge, also noted that electronics is going to be a key growth area as its role increases in the industrial sector. 'You need to build scale, you need to build supply chain capability, and I think we are going to do that in multiple areas," Kalyani told analysts in the post earnings call. 'The Indian government wants to create Indian electronics players in niche areas where imports are not wanted to be used. So, I think there is an opportunity and that's what we are pursuing." Also read | Froth clears from Bharat Forge's valuation, but it lags on a crucial metric Jugnu Sakuja, managing director at consultancy firm Alvarez & Marsal, told Mint that the pursuit of leading auto component players to diversify into high-end tech areas like electronics, robot parts manufacturing etc. will continue to intensify as these players will look to find new avenues of growth and expand margins. Facing Global Challenges Companies and analysts alike agree that the growth environment for the country's auto component players is becoming increasingly challenging. 'Muted global production due to geopolitical issues, evolving platform mix and trade dynamics; growth in India and China offset by degrowth in developed markets," were some challenges outlined in Motherson's investor presentation on 29 May. Echoing a similar sentiment, Bharat Forge's management highlighted in its presentation to investors on 8 May that an 'unpredictable policy environment in the near future can lead to lower discretionary spends impacting overall volumes in North America". The imposition of restrictions on rare earth magnets by China in response to the US's decision to impose tariffs has further sparked concerns about automobile production. 'Global automotive production, and in this I include every market, may see disruptions due to supply chain complexities and high dependence on China, especially for rare earth material," Singh of Sona Comstar said.

Nifty Auto index has gained 0.81% this year as against a 4.11% rise in the benchmark Nifty 50.

MFs accumulate capital goods, rate-cut beneficiaries in May
In May, as the Nifty 50 rose for the third consecutive month and profit booking by investors led to lower inflows into equity mutual fund schemes, fund managers churned portfolios with a bias towards largecap companies.
