Vishal Mega Mart Shares Slide 7% As Promoters Offload Stake Worth Rs 10,488 Cr Via Block Deal
Last Updated: Shares of Vishal Mega Mart Ltd. declined as much as 7.5% on Tuesday, June 17, following a massive block trade Vishal Mega Mart Share Price: Shares of Vishal Mega Mart Ltd. declined as much as 7.5% on Tuesday, June 17, following a massive block trade valued at nearly Rs 11,000 crore. A total of 93.58 crore shares—equivalent to 20% of the company's outstanding equity—changed hands in the transaction. The shares were exchanged at an average price of Rs 115 apiece, taking the total deal value to Rs 10,488 crore. The identities of the buyers and sellers involved in the transaction remain undisclosed. The development comes a day after CNBC-TV18 reported that Samayat Services LLP, the promoter entity of Vishal Mega Mart, was planning to sell up to 10% stake through a block deal. Samayat is an investment vehicle of global private equity firms Partners Group and Kedaara Capital. While the initial size of the deal was pegged at over Rs 5,000 crore, it was upsized to around Rs 9,900 crore on Tuesday morning. As of the March 2025 quarter, Samayat Services held a 74.55% stake in the company. Interestingly, the large share sale took place just a day after the end of the lock-in period for the company's pre-IPO shareholders. With the expiry of the lock-in, about 256.2 crore shares—representing 56% of Vishal Mega Mart's equity—became eligible for trade, unlocking shares worth over Rs 30,000 crore. Vishal Mega Mart was listed on the stock exchanges in December 2024. As of Monday's close, the stock had rallied nearly 70% from its IPO issue price of Rs 78.

Leaked on GitHub: US government's entire AI plan, what the page website that has now disappeared revealed
President Donald Trump speaks during an event to sign a bill blocking California's rule banning the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035 in the East Room of the White House, Thursday, June 12, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci) The Trump administration's plan to integrate artificial intelligence across all federal agencies was accidentally exposed through a GitHub repository before being hastily removed, revealing a July 4 launch date for a new platform designed to automate government operations. The GitHub repository vanished shortly after reporters began asking questions, though it was later found archived in GSA's project collection. The domain currently redirects to Tesla's former engineer to lead the AI platform The leaked repository, discovered by multiple observers and first reported by 404 Media, showed the General Services Administration (GSA) developing a "whole-of-government, AI-first strategy" under the leadership of Thomas Shedd , a former Tesla engineering manager now heading the Technology Transformation Services. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The platform will feature three core components: an AI-powered chatbot, an "all-in-one API" connecting agencies to models from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, and a monitoring system called "CONSOLE" that tracks real-time AI usage across government departments. Trump administration seems to go in in full startup mode Shedd, described as an Elon Musk ally, reportedly wants GSA to "operate like a software startup" and has pushed for AI tools that other agencies will be required to use. The staging site revealed integration plans with Amazon Bedrock, Meta's LLaMA, and various FedRAMP-certified vendors, though some listed models appear to lack proper government certification. Internal government reaction to the AI push has been "pretty unanimously negative," according to federal employees who expressed concerns about security vulnerabilities and the potential for AI to introduce bugs into critical systems or recommend terminating essential contracts. Experts worried about security concerns The leaked documentation shows CONSOLE will monitor how employees use AI tools and track their preferences, raising questions about workplace surveillance. Experts warn that widespread AI adoption could create significant security risks as these systems process confidential data and personally identifiable citizen information. The July 4 launch date, as seen on the website, suggests that the Trump administration plans to accelerate AI integration as part of broader government efficiency initiatives championed by Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.

Bombay high court rejects discharge plea of teacher accused in Rs 295 crore SBI loan fraud case
MUMBAI: The Bombay high court rejected the discharge application of Kanchan Satpute, a Pune-based teacher and wife of the prime accused, Anil Satpute, in a money laundering case involving M/s Duplex Industries Ltd. The case, amounting to Rs 295 crore, was registered by the CBI ACB after it was argued that funds were allegedly routed to Kanchan's personal account or withdrawn in cash. The high court Judge, Madhav Jamdar, while rejecting Kanchan's discharge application, stated that there was enough material on record from witness statements and documentary evidence to proceed against her. The court upheld a Special CBI Judge's earlier order refusing to discharge her from the case. She faced charges under Sections 120-B and 420 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 13(2) read with 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Amit Munde, special counsel for the CBI, argued before the court that the accused, Kanchan, was a personal guarantor to the assets of her husband for the bank loan and that economic offences posed a serious threat to public money. Kanchan, who was also a film producer, was accused of actively participating in the alleged diversion and laundering of funds sanctioned as loans by the State Bank of India (SBI) to M/s Duplex Industries Ltd. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

According to the CBI, her proprietorship concern, Nishad Audio Visuals, received approximately Rs 5.08 crore in diverted bank funds through a complex web of transactions involving other entities, including R.K. Enterprises. The CBI's forensic audit revealed that large sums were transferred from M/s Duplex Industries Ltd. to R.K. Enterprises, which subsequently moved Rs 1.75 crore to Nishad Audio Visuals. From there, the funds were allegedly routed to Kanchan Satpute's personal account or withdrawn in cash. Forensic auditors identified the transactions as deliberate acts of fund diversion. Representing Satpute, Advocate Sagar Tilak argued that Satpute was being implicated solely because she was the wife of the main accused, Anil Satpute. He maintained that the funds received by her company were loan repayments from M/s Duplex Industries Ltd., in which her husband and father-in-law were directors. The defence also claimed that the funds extended to the company were legitimate loans totalling Rs 1.99 crore. However, Justice Jamdar dismissed these claims, observing that there was no credible evidence demonstrating that Kanchan possessed the financial capacity to lend such large sums. The court noted that the CBI's investigation revealed a pattern of fund movement and withdrawals that supported allegations of criminal conspiracy and fraud.
