Treasury bills vs fixed deposits: T-bills via SIP gain traction, but FDs still top for one-year returns
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has allowed individuals to invest in Treasury bills (T-bills) through the systematic investment plan (SIP) route on its retail direct platform, aiming to boost retail participation in the bond market. An ET analysis shows that while bank fixed deposits (FDs) offer at least 68 basis points (bps) higher returns in the one-year segment, T-bills outperform in shorter tenures — providing about 55 bps more than FDs in 91-day and 182-day maturities. The central bank had earlier opened trading in government securities to retail investors. The latest decision to permit SIP-based investment in T-bills allows participation with a minimum investment of Rs 10,000, along with options for auto-bidding and reinvestment on the platform. Auto-bidding enables investors to automate their participation in the weekly T-bill auctions held every Wednesday. The system places bids at the cut-off rate on behalf of investors for the chosen amount. The reinvestment option allows proceeds from maturing T-bills to be automatically deployed in fresh issuances. Launched in November 2021, the RBI's retail direct platform was designed to make government securities more accessible to individual investors. Registrations on the platform have doubled in the past two years to nearly half a million, though experts note that overall participation levels remain modest. The analysis suggests that for investors seeking short-term exposure, T-bills via SIP can offer a competitive edge over similar-tenure FDs, while one-year deposits continue to lead on returns.

Tesco to set up distribution hub, create 15,000 jobs: K'taka Industries Min
UK-based retail giant Tesco plans to set up a new distribution centre in Karnataka, creating 15,000 additional jobs, Large and Medium Industries Minister M B Patil said on Wednesday. UK engineering major Rolls-Royce is also exploring fresh investments in the state, he said, adding that the government would expedite all necessary processes to facilitate the company's plans, his office said in a release. Patil made the announcement while addressing a reception hosted on Tuesday by the British Deputy High Commission to mark the signing of the IndiaUnited Kingdom Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The pact is projected to boost bilateral trade by about Euro 25 billion annually and help double trade volumes to nearly Euro 90 billion by 2030. The FTA would pave the way for duty-free access for 99 per cent of India's exports to the UK and 90 per cent of UK exports to India. This would mean more affordable products, greater market access for businesses, and a surge in commerce benefiting consumers and industries in both countries, he said. Patil noted that leading British firms such as Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems, Tesco, ARM, HSBC, and Aviva already have a strong presence in Bengaluru and across Karnataka, collectively employing nearly 30,000 people in the state. He said the FTA would enable UK companies to scale up investments in Karnataka and urged them to leverage the state's technology capabilities, infrastructure, and industry-friendly policies. The government will respond proactively to those keen on investing, he assured. According to the minister's office, the event was attended by Harjinder Singh, UK Trade Commissioner; Chandru Iyer, British Deputy High Commissioner; and other dignitaries.

Mumbai-based real estate developer Kalpataru reported a widening of losses to Rs 49.43 crore in the first quarter of FY26, compared with Rs 0.69 crore in Q1 FY25. Revenue from operations stood at Rs 443.2 crore, down 16.45 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y), while total expenses fell 5.18 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 512.23 crore. The company follows the project completion method (PCM) for recognising revenue from projects launched after April 2022. Under this method, revenue is recorded only upon receipt of the occupation certificate (OC), whereas expenses such as marketing and corporate overheads are booked in the same quarter they are incurred. As of Q1 FY26, the majority of recognised revenue came from projects under PCM. Of its 24 ongoing projects, Kalpataru applies PCM to 13; however, costs associated with these projects are fully charged to the profit and loss account during the reporting period. Pre-sales rose 83 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 1,249 crore, while collections increased 37 per cent YoY to Rs 1,147 crore. However, the area sold fell 9 per cent Y-o-Y to 0.56 million square feet. Average sales realisation during the quarter surged 101 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 22,476 per square foot. The company has guided pre-sales of Rs 7,000 crore for FY26, up from Rs 4,531 crore in FY25. It is targeting collections of Rs 5,700 crore, compared with Rs 3,659 crore in the previous financial year. Debt reduction focus Net debt as of June 30, 2025, stood at Rs 7,939 crore. The net debt-to-equity ratio improved to 2.0x from 3.8x as of March 31, 2025. Kalpataru aims to reduce its debt to Rs 7,300 crore by the end of FY26. 'The company has utilised Rs 1,192.5 crore from IPO proceeds towards debt repayment, in line with the objects of the issue, and remains committed to further strengthening the balance sheet through continued debt reduction efforts,' said Parag Munot, Managing Director, Kalpataru. On a sequential basis, revenue declined 26 per cent. The company had posted a profit of Rs 14.05 crore in Q4 FY25, compared with a loss in the current quarter. Kalpataru shares closed at Rs 406.30 on the BSE on Tuesday.
