Best stock recommendations today: MarketSmith India's top picks for 13 August
Stock market today: After gaining nearly 1% the previous day, the Indian stock market resumed its downward trend on Tuesday, 12 August, dragged lower by losses in heavyweight stocks such as HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Reliance Industries. The Sensex closed at 80,235.59, down 368 points or 0.46%, while the Nifty 50 ended the day at 24,487.40, falling 98 points or 0.40%. Meanwhile, the mid-cap and small-cap segments outperformed broader markets, with the BSE Midcap index slipping 0.25% and the Smallcap index inching up 0.04%. Amid this, here are two stock recommendations by MarketSmith India for 13 August: Nifty 50 recap | 12 August The Nifty 50 came under significant pressure on 12 August, as lingering concerns over global tariffs and geopolitical uncertainty weighed on investor sentiment. After reaching an intraday high of 24,700, the index reversed sharply, closing near the day's low at 24,465.65, down over 200 points. Benchmark indices ended a volatile session in the red, with weakness in Realty, FMCG, and Financial sectors dragging the broader market down. Although the day began on a positive note, gains proved short-lived, as range-bound trading dominated most of the session. Selling intensified in the final hour, amplifying downside momentum. However, selective buying in Auto, IT, Pharma, and Oil & Gas sectors helped cushion losses somewhat. Market breadth remained negative, with the NSE advance-decline ratio around 1,422 to 1,544, reflecting weak overall sentiment amid mixed sectoral performance. On the technical front, the daily chart showed a small red candle with a long upper shadow, signalling intraday selling pressure and a lack of follow-through strength to breach key resistance levels. This price action suggests fading upward momentum and hesitation near critical hurdles. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently at 40, has rebounded slightly from oversold levels but continues to face resistance from a downward-sloping trendline, indicating a pause in bullish momentum. Meanwhile, the MACD remains in a bearish crossover, trading below its signal line and the zero axis, reinforcing the prevailing negative bias. According to O'Neil's market direction methodology, the market status was downgraded to 'Uptrend Under Pressure" as the Nifty breached its 50-day moving average (50-DMA) and the distribution day count rose to six. The index attempted to reclaim 24,600 during intraday trading but failed to sustain momentum, closing below 24,500. This leaves the Nifty consolidating within a defined range of 24,300 to 24,600, reflecting broader indecision. Looking ahead, a decisive close above 24,600 would be a positive technical signal, potentially driving the index toward 24,800–24,850 in the near term. On the downside, the recent swing low at 24,330 now serves as a critical support level. A break below this could invalidate the current recovery attempt and resume a broader corrective phase, with further support near 24,200 and 24,000 levels. Nifty Bank Performance | 12 August On Tuesday, 12 August, Nifty Bank opened weak and remained in negative territory throughout the session, reflecting sustained selling pressure. The index formed a bearish candle on the daily chart, characterized by a higher high and higher low price structure, yet it successfully defended its 100-day moving average (100-DMA). Opening at 55,441.10, the index fluctuated between an intraday high of 55,566.70 and a low of 55,001.50 before closing at 55,043.70. The price action pointed to a lack of buying interest, with sellers dominating most of the day. Most heavyweight constituents ended in the red, intensifying downward pressure, with Canara Bank the sole exception closing in positive territory. Overall, the session underscored weakness in the banking sector, which continued to weigh on market sentiment. Technical indicators signal caution: the RSI has turned downward and currently hovers near 37, indicating a loss of momentum and growing selling pressure. Meanwhile, the MACD maintains a negative crossover, pointing to sustained weakness in market momentum. Together, these signals reinforce a short-term bearish outlook. According to O'Neil's market direction methodology, Bank Nifty remains in an 'Uptrend Under Pressure," highlighting a cautious and fragile market environment. Despite closing lower, the index held above its 100-DMA, indicating some resilience at lower levels. If buying interest strengthens, Bank Nifty could attempt an upward move toward 56,200, the immediate resistance zone. A breakout above this level may trigger further bullish momentum in the near term. On the downside, 55,000 serves as a critical support level; a decisive breach here could lead to deeper declines and increased volatility, keeping traders on alert in the sessions ahead.

Four new semiconductor units worth Rs 4,594 crore to come up in Odisha, AP, Punjab: Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills ETtech The Union Cabinet on Tuesday approved four semiconductor projects worth Rs 4,594 crore under the India Semiconductor Mission , taking the total number of approved chip manufacturing facilities in India to ten. The latest approvals push up the projected investments in semiconductor projects to about Rs 1.6 lakh crore across six newly approved proposals are from SiCSem Pvt Ltd , Heterogeneous Integrated Packaging Solutions Pvt Ltd (HIPSPL), Continental Device India Pvt Ltd and Advanced System in Package (ASIP) Technologies. While SiCSem and HIPSPL will set up units at Bhubaneshwar in Odisha, CDIL will expand its existing facility in Punjab's Mohali and ASIP will build a plant in Andhra Pradesh. The proposals are expected to generate 2,034 skilled jobs cumulatively."The complete ecosystem of design, wafer fabrication, packaging, manufacturing of components, assembly, testing, and high-volume final production, is in the works. This will help every sector and dimension of electronics manufacturing," union minister for electronics and information technology Ashwini Vaishnaw government hopes to give the semiconductor ecosystem a significant boost with the latest approvals, given that it will include the country's first commercial compound fab, as well as a highly advanced glass-based substrate semiconductor packaging products from these new plants will have applications in missiles, defence equipment, electric vehicles, railway, fast chargers, data centre racks, consumer appliances and solar power inverters, among others, Vaishnaw said. The new plants are expected to be ready for production in 2-3 years given that all government bodies have promised to provide expeditious permissions, he said, while pointing to previous such plants breaking ground in 6 terms of investment figures, the new plants are smaller than each of the six projects that are already coming up. Tata Electronics is investing Rs 91,000 crore in a fab facility in Gujarat's Dholera and Rs 27,000 crore for an semiconductor assembly and test facility at Morigaon, Assam, both announced in February last year.

It is a robust material and can sustain high voltage and temperatures. It is used in missiles, space equipment, satellites, rockets, railway engines and telecom tower equipment. Silicon carbide is a strategic necessity for our country,' the minister said. The Bhubaneshwar plant will also do research. 'At IIT-Bhubaneswar, a Rs 45 crore R&D unit has been set up," he will also be home to HIPSPL's vertically integrated advanced packaging and embedded glass substrate unit. A subsidiary of Albuquerque, New Mexico-based high-tech manufacturing firm 3D Glass Solutions Inc, HIPSPL will put in Rs 1,943 crore into the unit. It will be the first in the world to provide 3D packaging on a glass substrate on a commercial scale, Vaishnaw plant will have 11-13% equity investments each from US majors Intel, Lockheed Martin and Applied Materials, as well as venture capital funds, an official planned capacity of this unit will be nearly 70,000 glass panel substrates, 50 million assembled units and 13,200 3D heterogeneous integration modules every ASIP will set up a unit in Andhra Pradesh with an investment of Rs 468 crore, through a technology tie-up with South Korea's APACT, with an annual capacity of 96 million units. The manufactured products will find applications in mobile phones, set-top boxes, automobile applications and other electronic products. Venkata Simhadri, chief executive, ASIP Technologies, told ET: "Our OSAT/ATMP is focused on advanced (2.5D/3.0D) packaging of semiconductors, targeting data centres, high-speed communications and AI applications."New Delhi-based Continental Device will expand its discrete semiconductor manufacturing facility at Mohali with an investment of Rs 117 crore. It will manufacture high-power discrete semiconductor devices such as MOSFETs, IGBTs, schottky bypass diodes and transistors, both in silicon and silicon carbide. The annual capacity of this brownfield expansion will be 158.38 million general manager Prithvideep Singh told ET: "With this investment, we would expand our installed capacity of 600 million units to over 760 million units annually and sharpen our focus on silicon and silicon carbide chips."With a capacity of producing 24 billion chips, the six semiconductor projects that have already got approvals are in various stages of first-ever made in India chip will become available in the next 2-3 months, with three of the projects competing with each other, Vaishnaw a result of domestic chip production, the government expects the average value addition for electronics in India to rise to 30% in the future from 22% now, he said.

CBI arrests two senior CPWD engineers for taking bribe
Five persons, including two senior engineers of the Central Public Works Department (CPWD), were arrested by the CBI on Monday for allegedly taking bribes to clear pending bills of a private contractor involved in executing works at Chanakyapuri in Delhi. Four more engineers, who have been booked, are being questioned, the central agency said. The CBI identified the arrested persons as Jai Prakash, executive engineer (Civil); Prabhat Chaurasiya, assistant engineer (Civil); as well as Shubham Goel, and his father Rajesh Goel, the owner of Shubham Electricals. 'The CBI registered a case on August 11 against 12 persons, including the four arrested accused. The agency had received information that Shubham would be paying a bribe of Rs 6 lakh to Jai Prakash on August 11. Accordingly, a trap was laid and both were caught along with money,' a CBI spokesperson said, adding that CPWD has awarded multiple contracts to Shubham Electricals. The agency said that searches were conducted at 10 places during which Rs 55 lakh in cash was recovered. The CBI alleged in the FIR that on August 1, it received a tip-off stating that Shubham has informed his father that CPWD has sought a payment of Rs 1.52 crore against some of the company's pending bills. He also allegedly asked Rajesh on how much bribe money is to be given to various CPWD officers. 'His father directed that 3% of total bill is to be given to the executive engineer, 2% to the assistant engineer and the junior engineer, 1% to the CPWD accounts section, 1% to computer operators and clerks, and rest 1-2% to the superintending engineer for the award of the tender,' the FIR stated. It accused CPWD engineers of taking bribes from private contractors engaged in executing works in Chanakyapuri in lieu of extending undue favours in awarding contracts, allowing poor quality construction materials and clearing inflated bills, as well as causing wrongful loss to government exchequer.
