GST revamp, S&P ratings upgrade fuel rally in Indian equities
Benchmark indices edged higher on Monday as the proposed goods and services tax (GST) revamp lifted hopes of boosting domestic consumption. Adding to the momentum were India's sovereign ratings upgrade and a temporary relief for countries importing Russian oil. The Nifty 50 index ended Monday at 24,876.95 points, up 1% or 245.65 points, its highest gain since 23 May. The Sensex closed 0.83% higher at 81,273.75 points. Chirag Mehta, chief investment officer at Quantum Mutual Fund, said that while the GST rationalization announced on 15 August could drive up consumption, in the near term reduced collections could strain government finances. However, the expectation is that stronger demand will eventually make India's economic growth more sustainable, he said. Consumption heavy sectoral indices gained on Monday. Nifty Auto closed 4.18% higher, Nifty consumer durables gained 3.38%, and Nifty Realty ended the day up 2.17%. 'With external conditions volatile, the government's focus is on strengthening internal demand which compliments earlier tax cuts and lower interest rates,' said Mehta. The reduction in GST slabs to two from four is expected to be supportive for sectors such as insurance, consumer durables, auto, and cement, said Aparna Shanker, CIO, equity, at The Wealth Company Mutual Fund. The proposed changes to the GST structure, however, could hurt demand in the short-run for the auto industry, other experts said. Uncertainty around when the new GST tax rates will be implemented may prompt customers to defer purchases, potentially affecting demand during regional festivals such as Ganesh Chaturthi in Maharashtra (end-August) and Onam in Kerala (late August to early September), said Kumar Rakesh, analyst–information technology and auto, BNP Paribas, in a report dated 18 August. Prolonged uncertainty could also lead to inventory challenges, as several manufacturers have begun building stock ahead of the festive period, he added. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 15 August said the GST reforms would be implemented by Diwali, targeting a significant reduction in taxes on everyday items, as a 'Diwali gift' for the common man. A day earlier, 14 August, India won its first sovereign rating upgrade from S&P Global Ratings since 2007. Morgan Stanley said in a report dated 4 August that while a soft patch in earnings growth appeared to be fading, and despite a dovish central bank, investor confidence may hinge on greater clarity around the external environment and the GST rate rationalization. However, foreign institutional investors remain uncertain towards India. FIIs pulled out equities worth $182.9 billion in August and $285.2 billion in July, as per Bloomberg. As per an Asia Fund Manager Survey by BofA Global Research, within Asia, Japan continued to be the most favored market by a significant margin, with China leaping to the second spot, followed by Taiwan and Korea. India tumbled to the bottom of the pack, chiefly because of US President Donald Trump's proposed 50% tariff on Indian goods. On Monday, the Nifty Midcap index closed 1.9% higher at 21,267.05 while the Nifty Smallcap index climbed 1.33% to 16,878.7. For Nifty 50, the zone of 24,800-24,770 will act as an important support, while on the upside, the zone of 25,000-25,050 will act as a crucial hurdle, said Sudeep Shah, head–technical and derivatives research, SBI Securities. Any sustainable move above the 25,050 level will lead to a sharp upside rally up to the level of 25200, he added.

NSE reliance on top 10 brokers falls to 48.3% in FY25, says Sebi report
The National Stock Exchange's (NSE's) reliance on its top 10 brokers in the cash segment has eased, signalling a broader diversification of its client base. According to the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (Sebi's) annual report, the share of clients contributed by the top 10 brokers on NSE fell to 48.3 per cent in 2024-25 (FY25), from 63.7 per cent in FY24. Market experts attribute this trend to NSE's expanded investor outreach in non-metro areas. 'NSE's awareness programmes in smaller cities have encouraged more individuals to invest. Many of these new accounts are coming through local brokers in tier-2 and tier-3 centres. At the same time, we are also seeing fresh entrants among brokers,' said K Suresh, president of the Association of National Exchanges Members of India (Anmi). Interestingly, while client concentration has eased, the turnover share of top 10 brokers has inched up — rising from 38.6 per cent to 41.5 per cent over the same period. The trend is visible on the BSE as well. The share of its top 10 brokers in gross turnover jumped to 54.3 per cent in FY25 from 47.6 per cent in FY24. In terms of client base, the share of the top 10 brokers of the BSE nearly doubled to 32.6 per cent, from 17.7 per cent. At a broader level, market concentration remains high. The top 100 brokers still account for 90.6 per cent of the cash market turnover. Meanwhile, Sebi's data shows the top 100 scrips contributed 50.5 per cent of cash market turnover in FY25, lower than 52.7 per cent in the previous year, suggesting a marginal widening of trading activity beyond the most liquid stocks.

Sensex, Nifty rally 1% each as proposed GST reforms boost investor sentiment
Domestic equity market indices, Sensex and Nifty, gained one per cent on Monday, as proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST) reforms and an upgrade on India's credit rating by S&P Global ratings boosted investor sentiment. The BSE's Sensex rose 0.84 per cent, or 676.09 points, to end at 81,273.75. The broader Nifty 50 climbed 1 per cent, or 245.65 points, to finish at 24,876.95. During intraday trades, Sensex and Nifty touched highs of 81,765.77 and 25,022, respectively, before witnessing profit booking at higher levels. The rally in the market was driven by gains in auto and consumer durables stocks in response to the proposed review in GST rates. Among the NSE companies, firms that gained the most included Maruti Suzuki India (8.92 per cent), Hero Motocorp (5.99 per cent), Nestle India (5.23 per cent), Bajaj Finance (5.06 per cent) and Bajaj Auto (4.61 per cent). 'Markets staged a strong rally on Monday and ended with gains of a percent. The positive sentiment was driven by GST reform proposals, easing concerns over crude oil prices, and a sovereign rating upgrade, which together lifted investor confidence,' said Ajit Mishra, senior vice president (research), Religare Broking Ltd. In his Independence Day speech on August 15, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced next-gen GST reforms before Diwali to ease burden on consumers and small businesses. Under the proposed tax structure, there will be two-slab structure – 5 per cent and 18 per cent. 'We think the proposed new GST regime will likely have meaningful impacts on growth, fiscal balance, and CPI inflation, with implications for monetary policy,' said Upasana Chachra, Chief India Economist, Morgan Stanley. In the near term, there could be some impact on volume growth as consumers potentially defer their spending until clarity emerges on the new GST regime. However, once new GST rates come into force, there should be a recouping of potential deferred demand alongside support through improved affordability, she said. S&P Global Ratings' upgrade of India's long-term sovereign credit rating to 'BBB' from 'BBB-', with a stable outlook, also resulted in higher buying in the market. Additionally, the recent conclusion of the US and Russia summit, without any escalation in geopolitical tensions, also helped ease investor anxiety, said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited. Sector-wise, all major indices, barring IT (information technology), contributed to the up move, with auto, realty, and metal leading the gains. The Nifty Auto gained 4.18 per cent and Nifty Consumer Durables rose 3.38 per cent. Broader markets also joined the rally, as Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 rallied 1.08 per cent and 1.38 per cent, respectively.
