Gujarat State Fertilizers shares in focus as full 75 MW solar project goes live, expected to reduce energy costs
Shares of Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited (GSFC) are likely to remain in focus after the company announced the successful commissioning of the remaining 50 MW Phase-2 of its 75 MW Vastan Group Captive Solar Project. The project, developed in partnership with Gujarat Industries Power Company Limited (GIPCL), is now fully operational as of June 26, 2025.
In a regulatory filing, GSFC said that it has started receiving power from the second phase on a 50% sharing basis, translating to 25 MW. The first 25 MW phase had already commenced supply in April 2025. With both phases now live, the company is receiving the full 37.5 MW of power from the project under the group captive model.
The full operationalization of the 75 MW solar power project is currently under the stabilization phase. The management stated that this move will help the company significantly reduce its overall energy costs going forward.
The project aligns with GSFC's sustainability and cost-efficiency goals, especially as the company looks to optimize operational expenses amid volatile energy pricing.
The company informed both BSE and NSE about the development, citing it under Regulation 30(3) of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Thailand's central bank caps most online transfers at $1,500 daily to thwart scams
BANGKOK (AP) — Banks in Thailand are now required to set a daily limit of 50,000 baht ($1,537) on many online transfers to lessen financial fraud, particularly those involving customers judged vulnerable such as children and the elderly, the country's central bank announced. The rule announced by the Bank of Thailand on Tuesday is meant to help combat the huge criminal industry of online scams, which makes billions of dollar annually and is especially active in Southeast Asia. The problem is worldwide, and in many countries there is increasing pressure on banks to play a more active role in safeguarding the assets of customers targeted by scammers. The new measure aims to curb financial fraud by preventing criminals from receiving and transferring a large amount of money at one time, and enabling timely freezing of illicit funds in order to increase the chances that victims will be able to recover at least some of their money, according to Daranee Saeju, the bank's assistant governor for Payment Systems Policy and Financial Consumer Protection. The daily transfer limit will be applied to transfers in three different tiers: under 50,000 baht ($1,537) , under 200,000 baht ($6,147) and above 200,000 baht ($6,147), depending on each customer's risk profile and the banks' assessment under know-your-customer, or KYC, rules. Customers with established records of responsibility can continue transferring at their usual levels. This measure will be implemented for new mobile banking and internet banking customers by the end of this month and for existing customers by the end of this year. Thailand has around 12 million mobile banking users, according to a report Wednesday in the Bangkok Post newspaper. It said previous central bank safeguards capped mobile banking transfers at 50,000 baht ($1,537) per transaction — with facial recognition required — and 200,000 baht ($6,147) per day in total. In June alone this year, 24,500 scam cases related to money transfers were reported to the authorities, causing total losses of 2.8 billion baht ($86.1 million) — an average of 114,000 baht ($3,504) per case. The largest single fraudulent transfer amounted to 4.9 million baht ($150,591), the Post reported, citing the central bank. On average, scammers needed only three minutes to siphon off half of the stolen funds, while victims typically took 19–25 hours to report the crime, the newspaper reported For the first six months of this year, children under 15 were involved in 78,468 financial scam cases, while victims over 65 years of age accounted for 416,453 cases, it said..

Goldman Sachs says we're on the verge of a stablecoin gold rush worth trillions
Goldman Sachs and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expect a stablecoin gold rush, driven by new regulations and massive potential for payment market expansion. Stablecoins, which must be backed by U.S. dollars or Treasuries, could boost demand for government bonds, though some argue this mostly redistributes money, rather than increasing the net demand for debt. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent believes stablecoins will buoy the market for U.S. Treasuries, and the government will sell more short-term debt to meet that demand, according to the Financial Times. 'Bessent has signalled to Wall Street that he expects stablecoins, digital tokens that are backed by high-quality securities such as Treasuries, to become an important source of demand for U.S. government bonds,' the FT reported. The FT's sources asked for anonymity but there was no need for them to be coy: Bessent said in a press statement back in July that he expected demand for cryptocurrencies—backed 1:1 with U.S. dollar instruments—to support the price of bonds: 'This groundbreaking technology will buttress the dollar's status as the global reserve currency, expand access to the dollar economy for billions across the globe, and lead to a surge in demand for U.S. Treasuries, which back stablecoins. The GENIUS Act provides the fast-growing stablecoin market with the regulatory clarity it needs to grow into a multitrillion-dollar industry,' he said at the time. The GENIUS Act, announced last month, 'aligns State and Federal stablecoin frameworks, ensuring fair and consistent regulation throughout the country' the White House said at the time. So how big a deal will this be? Goldman Sachs thinks we're at the beginning of a stablecoin gold rush, according to a research paper published today by the bank's Will Nance and others. 'Stablecoins are a $271bn global market, and we believe USDC [the stablecoin issued by Circle] benefits from market share gains on and off of partner Binance's platform, as ongoing stablecoin legislation legitimizes the ecosystem, and the crypto ecosystem expands, also potentially catalyzed by legislation. Based on current trends and announced initiatives, we see $77bn of growth in USDC, or a 40% CAGR, from 2024-27E,' they wrote. The potential total market for stablecoins is in the trillions, Goldman says. 'Visa sizes the addressable market for payments at ~$240 trillion in annual payment volume, with consumer payments representing ~$40 trillion of annual spending. B2B payments comprise roughly ~$60bn while P2P payments and disbursements comprise the remainder. 'As such, payments are the most obvious source of (total accessible market) expansion for stablecoins over the longer term. This opportunity is largely untapped so far, with the majority of stablecoin activity being driven by crypto trading activity and demand for dollar exposure outside of the U.S.' Because stablecoins in the U.S. must be backed 1:1 with dollars or U.S. bonds, each stablecoin issued increases the demand for the bonds that back them. Some people think this will alter the bond market, especially for short-dated bonds with low interest yields. A research paper by the Bank for International Settlements (an international organization that fosters cooperation between central banks), says it will. 'A 2-standard deviation inflow into stablecoins lowers 3-month Treasury yields by 2-2.5 basis points within 10 days,' the BIS paper estimated. But the effect is 'asymmetric': 'Stablecoin outflows raise yields by two to three times as much as inflows lower them,' the paper said. UBS's Paul Donovan is more skeptical: 'U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent is reportedly getting excited that stablecoins might increase demand for short-dated U.S. Treasuries, helping finance the unsustainable U.S. fiscal position. However, stablecoins are more about redistributing money supply. Someone selling Treasury bills to buy stablecoins, which invest the money in Treasury bills does not change demand for US debt instruments,' he told clients this morning. Here's a snapshot of the markets prior to the opening bell in New York: S&P 500 futures were flat this morning, premarket, after the index closed down 0.59% yesterday. STOXX Europe 600 was up 0.13% in early trading. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 was up 0.23% in early trading. Japan's Nikkei 225 was down 1.51%. China's CSI 300 was up 1.14%. The South Korea KOSPI was down 0.68%. India's Nifty 50 was up 0.28% before the end of the session. Bitcoin fell to $113.9K. This story was originally featured on Sign in to access your portfolio
