Blue Star Outlook
Vir S Advani, chairman and managing director at Blue Star said that the year ended on a positive note, especially with the room AC business recording remarkable performance, owing to strong demand expectations from a harsh summer forecast and proactive dealer stocking. "Although April saw milder weather and softer growth, going by the weather forecasts, we expect the demand to pick up in May and June 2025. The hurdles faced by the Commercial Refrigeration business are behind us," Adani said.
In addition, the strong order book for Electro-Mechanical Projects and Commercial Air Cleaning Projects and the growing demand from manufacturing and data centre market segments will contribute to growth. The company remains optimistic on the growth prospects and is closely watching the geopolitical developments for potential supply chain disruptions and volatility in commodity prices.

Sensex, Nifty 50 fall 1%; mid, small-caps bleed more— 10 key highlights from Indian stock market today
The Indian stock market witnessed an across-the-board selloff on Thursday, June 12, in sync with several of its global peers amid rising geopolitical tension, lingering tariff-related anxieties and growing concerns over the dimming global economic growth outlook. The Sensex closed with a loss of 823 points, or 1 per cent, at 81,691.98, while the Nifty 50 settled 253 points, or 1.01 per cent, lower at 24,888.20. The BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices dropped 1.52 per cent and 1.38 per cent, respectively. The sharp selloff in the Indian stock market made investors lose over ₹ 6 lakh crore in a single session as the cumulative market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms dropped to nearly ₹ 449.5 lakh crore from ₹ 455.6 lakh crore in the previous session. The Indian stock market suffered deep losses amid rising tensions in the Middle East and lingering trade war concerns. Deteriorating outlook of the global economic growth, stretched valuations of the domestic market, and the lack of fresh positive triggers seem to have prompted investors to take money off the table after recent gains. "Consolidation in domestic markets is evolving into a broad-based trend, now extending to large-cap stocks. Valuation concerns and rising oil prices—driven by Middle East tensions—are fuelling risk aversion among investors," Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, observed. "Adding to the uncertainty, the US is considering unilateral tariff hikes on several key trading partners, with a decision expected within the next one to two weeks, ahead of an early July deadline," Nair added. Only seven stocks- Apollo Hospitals Enterprise (0.96 per cent), Asian Paints (up 0.73 per cent), Bajaj Finserv (up 0.46 per cent), Dr. Reddy's Laboratories (up 0.38 per cent), Tech Mahindra (up 0.37 per cent), Wipro (up 0.05 per cent) and Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (up 0.01 per cent)- ended in the green in the Nifty 50 index. Tata Motors (down 2.98 per cent), Titan Company (down 2.62 per cent) and Trent (down 2.62 per cent) were the top losers in the Nifty pack of stocks. Nifty Realty, Consumer Durables, Oil & Gas, Auto and Metal indices dropped up to 2 per cent. Nifty Bank declined 0.67 per cent, while the PSU Bank index crashed 1.27 per cent and the Private Bank index fell 0.79 per cent. GTL Infrastructure (120.75 crore shares), Vodafone Idea (41.47 crore shares), and RattanIndia Power (24.78 crore shares) were the most active stocks in terms of volume on the NSE. Karma Energy, Hubtown, Zenith Steel Pipes & Industries, Shah Metacorp and KBC Global were among the 10 stocks that rose over 10 per cent on the NSE. Some 92 stocks, including GTL Infrastructure, Hubtown, Suven Life Sciences, Z-Tech (India), Hilton Metal Forging and Revathi Equipment India, hit their upper circuits in intraday trade on the NSE. On the other hand, Kanpur Plastipack, Digitide Solutions and Kernex Microsystems (India) were among the 41 stocks that hit their lower circuits. (This is a developing story.

Indian markets remain volatile amid global uncertainties and geopolitical tensions
CHENNAI: Indian equity markets remained volatile on Thursday amid heightened volatility, as global uncertainty and geopolitical tensions continued to weigh on investor sentiment. Weak global cues, combined with rising crude oil prices and mixed corporate activity, contributed to broad-based selling across sectors. BSE Sensex at 82,254.04 fell 261.10 points or 0.32% at 12.49 am and Nifty 50 shed 106 points or 0.42% to 25,035.20. Broader markets like Nifty MidCap 100 and Nifty Small Cap too mirrored the benchmark indices sliding 0.86% each. Global Cues Today's investor caution mainly stemmed from the ongoing assessment of the US-China trade agreement progress, and tensions in the Middle East, especially between US and Iran, lifting global crude oil prices and increasing fears of inflationary pressure Mixed signals from the US Federal Reserve on the interest rate trajectory also caused market worries. Today's only sectoral gainer was Nifty Pharma (0.7%) in the morning trade. While the sectoral losers were Nifty FMCG and Nifty Realty, which are 1.0% down due to rate sensitivity and concerns around demand growth weighed on these sectors. At the same time, a defensive buying trend helped lift pharmaceutical stocks amid global uncertainty. Top stocks performed today under Sensex were Asian Paints, Bajaj Finserv, Sun Pharma. While, the top losers included Infosys, Eternal, Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), and Hindustan Unilever (HUL). Stocks in Focus Share prices of Paytm's parent One 97 Communications Ltd declined 10% to ₹864.20 today, triggered by a sharp sell-off on high volumes following the Finance Ministry's denial of reports suggesting a merchant discount rate (MDR) being charged on UPI transactions. Sentiment was hit due to perceived regulatory overhang and profitability concerns in digital payments. Similarly, Asian Paints witnessed high activity with 35 million shares changing hands in a large block deal during the pre-opening session on NSE. The stock ended among the top gainers, possibly buoyed by strategic buying amid stable fundamentals. According to analysts near-term market direction is now likely to be guided by global risk sentiment and oil price trends, any further updates on the US-China trade dynamic, domestic macroeconomic indicators such as inflation data and IIP figures, and movement in foreign institutional investment (FII) flows.

Anant Raj, DLF, Sobha fall up to 3% as realty stocks resume losing streak
Real Estate stocks in focus today: Domestic real estate stocks witnessed another round of selling pressure in Thursday's trading session, as the Nifty Realty index tumbled 2% to end the day at 1,006, extending its decline for the fourth straight session amid weak global cues and profit booking. All 10 constituents of the index ended the session in the red, with Anant Raj emerging as the top laggard, falling 3% to ₹ 556 apiece. It was followed by Phoenix Mills, Godrej Properties, DLF, Brigade Enterprises, Macrotech Developers, and Sobha, all of which declined over 2%. Real estate stocks had seen a stellar rally last week following the RBI's deeper-than-expected repo rate cut of 50 basis points and an unexpected CRR cut of 100 basis points. The move boosted investor sentiment, as lower interest rates potentially spur residential demand across major cities and ease borrowing costs for developers, aiding project financing and expansion. Following the RBI's double bonanza on Friday, the Nifty Realty index jumped 5%, emerging as the top-performing sector. In fact, the stocks had already been on a strong upward trajectory ahead of the RBI MPC meeting, driven by expectations of a continued rate-easing cycle, a trend that only accelerated after the policy announcement. From its April lows, the index has rallied 31%, making the real estate sector one of the biggest turnaround stories of 2025. However, the sharp gains may prompt investors to book profits, contributing to the ongoing decline in stock prices. Indian stock markets came under significant selling pressure in today's session, with broad-based declines triggered by weak global cues that weighed on investor sentiment, sending the Nifty 50 and Sensex down over 1%. Tensions between the US and Iran flared up after recent media reports suggested that the US is preparing a partial evacuation of personnel in the Middle East, following Iran's threat to strike US bases if nuclear negotiations fail. Further pressure came as US President Donald Trump announced plans to send formal letters to key trading partners within the next one to two weeks, outlining unilateral tariffs aimed at pressuring countries into trade agreements. Despite the tough rhetoric, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signaled a potential extension of the current 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for countries showing 'good faith' in ongoing trade talks. While Trump said a framework on tariff rates had been reached to revive the fragile trade truce with China, the lack of specifics kept markets on edge, and China has yet to officially confirm any details about the trade deal. Even as the framework is being finalized, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Wednesday that U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports would remain at current levels.
