Bad news for Ratan Tata's TCS after massive layoffs, IT giant loses Rs 5.66 lakh crore due to..., worst phase for company since...
TCS is undergoing its worst crisis since the 2008 recession. (File) TCS market cap: Amidst the backdrop of the controversy surrounding its decision to cut more than 12,000 jobs in the current fiscal year, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India's largest IT services exporter, has witnessed a rout of its market cap, which slumped from Rs 16.57 lakh crore to Rs 10.93 lakh crore, a decrease of Rs 5.66 lakh crore. According to market analysts, TCS, the flagship company of the Tata Group, is going through it worst crisis since the 2008 recession, when it shares had fallen by 55 percent. TCS share prices have dipped 25 percent in 2025, and experts predict the current financial could be the worst in company's history if the downfall continues. Why TCS shares are falling? According to analysts, India's stock market has witnessed a turmoil over the past few months as foreign investors are withdrawing from the market in droves amid US President Donald Trump unleashing tariff war against India, and recently announcing 50% import duty on Indian exports. The IT industry, once considered a favorite for FIIs, is now witnessing a decline, with foreign investors reducing their stake in TCS from 12.35% in June 2024 to 11.48% in June 2025, which has resulted in the company's shares falling by over 25 percent in the current financial year. The Nifty IT index has fallen 25% so far this year, making it the worst-performing sector in the market as over half of the Rs 95,600 crore withdrawn from India by FIIs till July 2025 has come from IT stocks alone. Why mutual funds investment increased? Meanwhile, domestic mutual funds have raised their stake in TCS from 4.25% to 5.13%, making fresh purchases worth Rs 400 crore in the company, according to data. TCS' trailing PE declined from 41x to 20x, five-year CAGR stands at 8.5%, while stock CAGR is 6%, the data showed. Notably, India's IT sector has grown at a compounded annual rate of 12.5% over the last two decades, but has underperformed the Nifty over the last three to five years. TCS layoffs According to recent media reports, TCS is mulling to cut about 2 percent of its global workforce, which would result in over 12,000 TCS workers losing their jobs in the current financial year. The company's decision is being investigated, with Jefferies warning that TCS layoffs could result in a slowdown in execution in the near term and an increase in the workforce in the long term.

Newly laid bund road to ease traffic on two busy roads in Coimbatore
The newly laid bund road. Photo by P Sreedharan COIMBATORE: The Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation has opened a new road from Lanka Corner Railway bridge to the Vincent Road Junction to ease traffic congestion on the Big Bazaar Road and Vincent Road. The road is said to reduce at least 30% of the vehicle flow heading towards Bazaar Street up to Ukkadam. The road, laid on the bunds of Valankulam Lake, terminates a few metres away from the Ukkadam- Sungam bypass roundabout. The one-way stretch of 805 meters is open to two vehicles and cars proceeding towards from the Government Hospital Road. This initiative is part of the city corporation's traffic management plan to have better mobility within the city limits. According to a corporation officer, "The road is about seven meters wide and can handle cars as well. Except for heavy vehicles, the rest of the vehicles heading towards Ukkadam can use this route. The entire day, irrespective of peak hours, the Vincent Road remains congested as too many vehicles use this narrow road as an alternative to reach Ukkadam. Hence from now on, those vehicles wouldn't have to take the Vincent Road. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo " Arfan Ahmed, who works at a garment store in Karumbukkadai, said, "Vincent Road would be completely congested during peak hours, especially in the evenings. Many people visit the eateries on this road, resulting in traffic. Also, it is the shortest route to reach Ukkadam flyover up ramp on the Sungam Bypass." The corporation is planning a similar alternative route along the Royal Theatre that will be connected to this newly laid bund road. The corporation official said, "To cater to the congestion caused by vehicles coming from the Goodshed Road that get through Vincent Road, a similar bund road has been planned along the Royal theatre. A study to prepare an estimate is under way." Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Goa's idol makers battle PoP threat ahead of festivities
Panaji: As Ganesh Chaturthi nears and concerns rise over market penetration of Plaster of Paris (PoP) idols, the Goa Handicrafts Rural and Small Scale Industries Development Corporation (GHRSSIDC) has begun surveying markets to prevent the sale of PoP idols. Over the last four years, the number of registered traditional idol makers rose from 367 to 475, said GHRSSIDC managing director Damodar Morajkar. Despite the corporation's subsidy scheme, traditional idol makers struggle with rising costs, insufficient aid, and labour shortages. Morajkar said the survey to identify PoP idol sales began on Aug 8, and so far, GHRSSIDC's inspection has flagged none. He said that the inspection will continue until Aug 24. 'Local mud clay idols are the customer's first choice, due to our awareness campaigns. The Shadu Mati and coconut fibre idols from Maharashtra are also in demand, but not as much as the local clay ones,' Morajkar told TOI . GHRSSIDC offers a subsidy of Rs 250 per idol for up to 250 idols to the local idol makers. As of July 2025, GHRSSIDC received 367 local vendor applications for registration. In 2024, 475 vendors received subsidies totalling Rs 90.5 lakh on the sale of 45,248 idols, Morajkar said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Redefine Your Future with a Top Online MBA SRM Online Enquire Now Undo Pernem, Sattari, and Bicholim talukas have the highest concentration of traditional Ganesh idol makers in Goa. 'Earlier, we used to get the Chikal Mati at Rs 20,000 for a 10m truck. Now, the prices have risen to Rs 25,000,' said Bicholim sculptor Durgaram Shet. Shet said long travel for vendors to get mud is making sourcing difficult for some sculptors. Local artisans allege the PoP idol ban is not strictly enforced. The clay idols are heavier, with rich colours being another distinguishing feature. Umakant Poke, a third-generation sculptor from Morjim, Pernem, said that because certain vendors sell PoP idols, local sculptors catch negative attention from handicraft officials. 'They think we are selling PoP idols. We are hard-working people, and trying to earn money with our honest efforts,' Poke said.
