New Delhi, Aug 7 (PTI) PTC India on Thursday posted over 61 per cent rise in consolidated profit from continuing operation at Rs 242.88 crore for June quarter FY26 mainly due to lower expenses.
The power trading solutions provider posted Profit After Tax (PAT) from continuing operation at Rs 150.76 crore in the year-ago period. Total expenses declined to Rs 3,815.49 crore from Rs 4,486.14 crore, a company statement said.

The standalone PAT was lower by 2 per cent at Rs 140.96 crore, on account of lower rebate & surcharge incomes. The trading volume was up 13 per cent in the quarter to 23,042 million units (MU) from 20,464 MUs in Q1FY25.
Consulting income in the quarter stood at Rs 9.88 crore. Core trading margin stood at 3.37 paise per unit.
'A healthy mix of volume from trades across different tenures has contributed to the growth of 13 per cent in trading volume in Q1FY 26.

The activities undertaken by PTC include long-term trading of power generated from large projects including renewables as well as short-term trading arising as a result of supply and demand mismatches, which occur in various regions of the country. PTI KKS ANU

Swiggy shares in focus after company hikes platform fees to Rs 14
Swiggy shares will be in focus on Monday, August 18, after the food delivery major raised its platform fee amid a surge in orders. The company has increased the fee for its food delivery business to Rs 14 from Rs 12 in select geographies experiencing higher order volumes. ADVERTISEMENT The hike comes as Swiggy grapples with widening losses and intensifying competition in the food delivery market. For the April–June quarter, Swiggy's net loss doubled year-on-year to Rs 1,197 crore. The company also reported a net cash outflow of Rs 1,053 crore after accounting for operating, investing, and financing activities. Despite the losses, operating revenue jumped 54% YoY to Rs 4,961 crore, driven by strong order volumes and increased investments in its quick-commerce arm, platform fee increase is expected to help offset costs and support margins, though such charges account for only a small portion of the average Rs 500–600 order value on aggregator platforms. Swiggy did not respond to queries on the latest hike. Competition in the sector is set to intensify with the entry of Ownly, a new service launched by ride-hailing platform Rapido. Currently operating in parts of Bengaluru, Ownly is positioning itself as a cost-efficient alternative by charging restaurant commissions of 8–15%, compared with the 16–30% levied by Swiggy and Zomato. ADVERTISEMENT Swiggy shares have declined 26.52% year-to-date. However, they gained 17.02% over the past six months, 29.61% in the last three months, and 1.28% in the past month.

Neither Mukesh Ambani nor Gautam Adani, this man owns India's most expensive number plate; its price will shock you, he is..., business is..
For many, owning luxury cars is a dream. Often, several celebrities and businessmen in the country are in the news due to their luxury cars. In addition, they also have their respective VIP number plates or registration numbers, which add to their prestige. You may have heard about stars like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Shah Rukh Khan, and Mukesh Ambani with special number car plates. However, did you know that the country's most expensive number plate does not belong to those stars? The title goes to Venu Gopalakrishnan, a tech company CEO from Kerala. The CEO of Litmus7, Venu Gopalakrishnan, recently added a new luxury car to his car collection. He bought himself a Lamborghini Urus Performante priced around Rs 4 crore. But what has caught everyone's attention is not the car itself, but it is the number plate. His car has the registration KL 07 DG 0007. If media reports are to be believed, Venu paid Rs 45.99 lakh for the unique plate, which is so far the most expensive number plate in the country. This extravagant purchase has made history in the state of Kerala as the highest vehicle registration number price ever. On April 7, 2025, the Kerala Motor Vehicles Department held an online auction in which Gopalakrishnan, the founder and CEO of Kochi-based Litmus7 Systems Consulting Pvt. Ltd., an IT company, acquired the highly coveted 007 registration number, which is popular among car enthusiasts. The bidding for this number began at Rs 25,000 and went higher quickly on the register bid to break our record. The '0007' number – reminiscent of the famous James Bond code – gives Gopalakrishnan's new purchase an exclusivity. The lime-green Lamborghini Urus Performante priced approximately at Rs 4 crore, is reportedly the first of its kind in Kerala. Gopalakrishnan took to Instagram to share a video of his new luxury car. Gopalakrishnan is known for his collection of luxury vehicles, which includes a Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato and a BMW M1000 XR bike. His latest purchase represents the growing trend of personalizing luxurious vehicles with unique registration numbers, which are often regarded as status symbols.
