JSW Steel files review petition before India's top court on Bhushan Power deal collapse
Indian steelmaker JSW Steel said on Wednesday it has filed a review petition before the country's top court, related to the rejection of its $2.3 billion takeover plan of Bhushan Power and Steel (BPSL).
Early last month, the Supreme Court of India rejected JSW Steel's resolution plan to acquire BPSL and ordered its liquidation, four years after the takeover was completed.
On May 26, the court halted the liquidation proceedings of the debt-ridden firm after JSW Steel and some creditors of BPSL told the Supreme Court that they would file a review petition against the order.
The court had said that the pause on liquidation proceedings will be in effect until a review petition is filed and taken up.
India's JSW Steel misses quarterly profit view on weaker prices
The collapse of the deal had unsettled buyers of distressed assets, with many lawyers and bankruptcy law experts saying that the ruling has alarmed potential buyers of insolvent or bankrupt firms, Reuters reported in May.
The Supreme Court cited major procedural lapses for the ruling, JSW Steel had said. The company added that it saw no impact from the order.

Reliance, financials lead rise in Indian shares
Indian equities rose for a third straight session on Thursday, driven by gains in shares of Reliance Industries and in sectors such as financials and metals, as easing Israel-Iran tensions bolstered risk appetite. The Nifty 50 rose 1.21% to 25,549, and the BSE Sensex gained 1.21% to 83,755.87, building on a 1% rally over the previous two sessions to hit nine-month highs. The two main indexes are about 3% below their all-time highs hit on September 2024. So far this year, the Nifty 50 and the Sensex have risen about 8% and 7%, respectively. Eleven of the 13 major sectors rose on the day. Financials led the charge on Thursday, with private lenders HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank rising 2% and 1%, respectively, lifting the Nifty Financial Services index by 1.5%. Prospects of lower funding costs and robust domestic GDP growth are boosting sentiment for bank stocks, analysts said. Buzz around the IPO of HDFC Bank's subsidiary, HDB Financial Services, is also lending support to the private lender's shares. Reliance Industries climbed about 2%, extending its two-day gains to 3% after analysts projected robust earnings growth in the June quarter. The market tone is steadily improving as geopolitical clouds clear, spurring a steady rise in the last three sessions, said Vaishali Parekh, vice president of technical research at PL Capital. Metal index added 2.3%, helped by a weaker U.S. dollar, which makes the greenback-denominated assets more affordable to holders of other currencies. The dollar slid after U.S. President Donald Trump rattled markets again with an attack on the U.S. Federal Reserve chair that revived worries over the central bank's independence. Broader markets also rose, with small-caps and mid-caps gaining 0.4% and 0.6%, respectively. Other major Asian and European markets also rose on Thursday. Among key movers, Bajaj Finance, Shriram Finance, and Cholamandalam Investment rose after Jefferies reaffirmed them as top picks among non-bank lenders.

India, US trade talks face roadblocks ahead of tariff deadline, Indian sources say
NEW DELHI: Trade talks between India and the US have hit a roadblock over disagreements on import duties for auto components, steel and farm goods, Indian officials with direct knowledge said, dashing hopes of reaching a deal ahead of President Donald Trump's July 9 deadline to impose reciprocal tariffs. The deadlock marks a sharp shift from earlier optimism, following Trump's claim that New Delhi had proposed a 'no tariffs' agreement for American goods, and officials from both sides suggesting India could be among the first countries to strike a deal on the new US tariffs. India is pushing for a rollback of the proposed 26% reciprocal tariff set to take effect on July 9, along with concessions on existing US tariffs on steel and auto parts. But US negotiators have not yet agreed to the demands, three Indian government officials told Reuters. 'The US side first wants India to commit to deeper import tariff cuts on farm goods like soybeans and corn, cars and alcoholic beverages along with easing of non-tariff barriers,' leading to disagreement between the two sides, one of the sources said. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the confidentiality of the ongoing discussions. India prioritises national interest in US trade talks, trade ministry source says India's commerce ministry, the US Embassy in New Delhi and the US Trade Representative Office did not immediately respond to requests for comment. An Indian delegation is expected to travel to Washington before the deadline, although discussions may now focus on a broader agreement rather than a rushed interim deal, a second Indian government source said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to position India as a key US partner, seeking to attract US firms like Apple, diversifying supply chains away from China. But trade talks have struggled to make headway. 'We are keen, but not desperate to sign a deal before the July 9 deadline,' the first source said, adding that India has offered tariff cuts on almonds, pistachios, walnuts, and was willing to extend preferential treatment for American imports in sectors like energy, autos and defence. 'There hasn't been much progress despite several rounds of talks,' the second source said. India and US advance toward interim trade deal after four-day talks Still, the sources did not rule out a last-minute breakthrough if Modi and Trump choose to intervene directly. Long term partnership Despite the impasse, Indian officials stress long-term commitment to the US as a trusted economic partner, while maintaining policy independence. Modi and Trump agreed in February to conclude the first phase of a bilateral trade agreement by autumn 2025 and to expand trade to $500 billion by 2030, from about $191 billion in 2024. India is also advancing talks with the European Union for a free trade pact later this year, and recently concluded talks for a FTA with the United Kingdom - moves aimed at hedging against potential US policy shifts under Trump. 'The ball is now in the US court. India is not for any win-lose trade partnership,' said Ram Singh, head of the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, a government funded think-tank. Trump says US doing 'big deals' with Pakistan, India Even in a worst-case scenario, a third official said, India could absorb the impact of reciprocal tariffs, citing its continued tariff advantage over competitors like Vietnam and China. India's exports to the US rose to $17.25 billion in April-May, up from $14.17 billion a year earlier, suggesting the US tariff hikes averaging 10% in early April had a limited impact.

India central bank's bond holding climbs to record, could ease in months ahead, say traders
MUMBAI: The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) holdings of Indian government securities climbed to a record in absolute terms following aggressive debt purchases, but analysts anticipate a reduction as the year progresses. The RBI's bond holdings rose to 12.78% of the outstanding issuances as of March-end from 10.55% at December-end, according to central bank data released on Wednesday. In absolute terms, this amounts to approximately 14.88 trillion rupees ($173.55 billion), a record high, marking an increase of 2.83 trillion rupees in the January-March quarter. The central bank had purchased bonds worth 2.45 trillion rupees via open market operations (OMOs) and an additional 388 billion rupees through secondary market transactions in the quarter. Analysts noted that the RBI's holdings might diminish in the coming months as some of the debt matures. The central bank holds between 500 billion rupees to 1 trillion rupees of securities that mature in this financial year. 'Holdings may further go up for the current quarter, but in most cases, OMOs are now behind us, especially after the central bank announced a reduction in cash reserve ratio and a reverse repo,' said VRC Reddy, treasury head at Karur Vysya Bank. Indian bonds flat as sell-off stalls after pricing in RBI liquidity plan The RBI aims to keep liquidity above 1% of deposits till March 2026, according to Gaura Sen Gupta, chief economist with IDFC First Bank. To that end, it announced a 100 basis-point reduction in banks' cash reserve ratio, effective from September to December, in its policy meeting in June. The RBI also cut its repo rate by 50 basis points and shifted its policy stance to neutral. 'In our base case, we do not expect more OMO purchases' for the rest of this financial year, Sen Gupta said. The central bank will also conduct a seven-day variable rate reverse repo auction for 1 trillion rupees on Friday. Market participants see this as part of the RBI's strategy to align the weighted average call rate closer to the repo rate, which will further tweak liquidity. If growth undershoots the RBI's expectation, they may choose to loosen the liquidity valve, said Dhiraj Nim, an economist and FX strategist at ANZ Research. Sen Gupta noted that additional OMO purchases would likely depend on significant capital outflows. 'For now, in our base case, we expect balance of payments to be a small surplus in fiscal 2026,' she said.
