Indian benchmark shares rise for fifth straight session on IT, consumer gains
(Reuters) -India's equity benchmarks rose for a fifth straight session on Wednesday as tech stocks rallied ahead of the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole symposium and as consumer shares gained on hopes of a demand boost from the proposed tax reforms. The Nifty 50 added 0.28% to 25,050.55, while the BSE Sensex rose 0.26% to 81,857.84. Both benchmarks have added about 2.3% and 2%, respectively, in five sessions. Optimism over the proposed goods and services tax (GST) reforms, easing India-China trade concerns, and S&P's upgrade of India's sovereign outlook have all buoyed market sentiment, said Gaurav Garg, analyst at Lemonn Markets Desk. On the day, nine out of 16 major sectors advanced. The broader small-cap and mid-cap indices rose 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively. IT stocks, which earn a significant share of revenue from the U.S., climbed 2.7% ahead of the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole symposium on Aug. 21-23. Investors widely expect a 25-basis-point Fed rate cut next month, a move that is seen supporting U.S. growth and reviving client spending for Indian technology firms. "A dovish tone from Fed Chair Jerome Powell could provide a positive trigger for Nifty and offset negative sentiment surrounding tariff developments," said analysts led by Dharmesh Shah of ICICI Securities. Consumer shares rose 1.4%, taking their three-session gains to 3.7%, on expectations that lower GST rates will boost demand and earnings. Financials slipped 0.4%, limiting the benchmarks' advance. Gaming-linked firms Nazara Tech and Onmobile Global fell 12.9% and 3.4%, after Reuters reported India planned to ban online money-based games. Micro-irrigation stocks such as Jain Irrigation and Mahindra EPC climbed 2.4% and 17.8% on hopes of zero GST on farm equipment. Fertiliser makers Chambal Fertilisers, Rashtriya Chemicals and Paradeep Phosphates extended gains, jumping between 2.3% and 5.4%, on improved supply prospects from talks with China. Sula Vineyards gained 2.5% after CNBC-TV18 reported the winemaker is looking to enter the premium spirits market.

Nitco update on ratings action from Infomerics
Nitco announced that Infomerics Valuation and Rating (Infomerics) has re-affirmed the credit rating assigned to the debt/loan facilities availed by the Company through Issuer not Cooperating category. The Company does not concur with the ratings assigned by Infomerics, since they have relied on an outdated data prior to the restructuring agreement entered into by the Company with its lender viz. Authum Investment and Infrastructure (Authum). Infomerics has overlooked the crucial fact that the Company has fully repaid the sustainable debt amount due to Authum and has also settled the outstanding dues of Life Insurance Corporation of India. As on date, the Company's outstanding debt comprises only of Non-Convertible Debentures of Rs. 50 crore (Interest Rate 5%) maturing in the year 2028. The Company continues to make timely interest payments on due obligations. Further, Authum holds Rs. 150 crore of Non-Convertible Preference Shares (Coupon Rate 0.10%) issued by the Company which is due for redemption from the year 2028. Further, the Company has sufficient liquidity position comprising of cash and cash equivalents amounting to Rs. 79.61 crore as on 30 June 2025. Given the above, the Company is not in agreement with assigned ratings and is in discussions with Infomerics to conclude the rating process.
