Vijay Kedia portfolio stock Sudarshan Chemicals jumps 11% to hit record high; up 66% from 52-week low
Shares of Sudarshan Chemical Industries surged nearly 11 percent on June 9 to hit a fresh 52-week high of ₹ 1,298 amid robust trading volumes. The sharp rally came despite a recent delay in the company's audited financial results, highlighting strong investor confidence, partly driven by the stock's connection to ace investor Vijay Kedia.
Sudarshan Chemicals has seen a remarkable uptrend in recent months. From its 52-week low of ₹ 779.95 touched in June 2024, the stock has now gained over 66 percent. In just the first week of June 2025 alone, it has advanced 9.4 percent, continuing a four-month winning streak. In May, the stock had jumped more than 15 percent, following gains of 3.5 percent in April and 14.5 percent in March. Prior to this rally, it had witnessed a brief correction, falling 13.4 percent in February and 12.6 percent in January.
Over the past year, the chemical stock has delivered a return of 48 percent, far outperforming broader market indices.
As per the March 2025 quarter shareholding data, Vijay Kedia held a 1.27 percent stake in Sudarshan Chemical Industries. Though slightly down from 1.44 percent in the December 2024 quarter, his continued presence in the stock reinforces investor confidence. Kedia, known for his high-conviction bets in small and midcap companies, has been associated with Sudarshan Chemicals for several quarters.
Late last month, Sudarshan Chemicals announced a delay in submitting its audited financial results for FY25. The delay is linked to the complexities following its acquisition of the global pigment business of Germany's Heubach Group. The deal, finalized in March 2025, added around 60 subsidiaries and 17 manufacturing sites to Sudarshan's global footprint.
According to the company, several factors contributed to the delay. Firstly, some German entities involved in the deal were under insolvency proceedings, which made it difficult to obtain financial and regulatory records on time. Secondly, the post-acquisition integration process was extensive, involving aligning financial systems, accounting standards, and audit processes across multiple geographies. Lastly, the business combination accounting itself proved complex, as the acquisition included both asset and share purchases across multiple legal structures.
Sudarshan Chemicals has formally requested an extension from stock exchanges to submit its results, which are now expected after completion of these consolidation activities.

Reliance and Diehl sign ₹10,000 crore defence pact to manufacture Vulcano precision ammunition in India
In a move that could reshape India's defence production landscape, Reliance Defence, a subsidiary of Reliance Infrastructure, has entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Germany's Diehl Defence. The partnership will focus on the local production of the Vulcano 155mm precision-guided munition system—an advanced artillery shell designed for long-range, high-accuracy announcement, made on 10 June, signals a major step forward in India's efforts to reduce dependence on imported defence equipment and build a robust domestic manufacturing base. The Vulcano 155mm system is no ordinary shell. It uses cutting-edge laser and GPS-guided targeting to deliver pinpoint accuracy. This makes it a valuable asset for the Indian Armed Forces, especially in modern combat scenarios where precision is critical. Reliance Defence will lead the manufacturing effort as the prime contractor, while Diehl Defence will provide the core technology and system-level expertise. The production will take place at a new greenfield facility in the Watad Industrial Area, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, which will be part of the Dhirubhai Ambani Defence City (DADC). Reliance Defence estimates that this partnership could generate up to ₹10,000 crore in revenue. This projection reflects the growing demand for advanced ammunition systems and the company's ability to localise critical defence technologies. The manufacturing initiative will include over 50% indigenous value addition, directly supporting India's defence indigenisation goals. It also aligns with the government's target of achieving ₹50,000 crore in defence exports by Defence, headquartered in Überlingen, Germany, is a global leader in defence systems. Its portfolio includes guided missiles, air defence systems, and advanced ammunition. The company employs around 4,500 people and generates annual sales exceeding €2 Rauch, CEO of Diehl Defence, said, 'Diehl Defence looks forward to strengthen the current relationship with Reliance Group in the context of TGM for the Indian Armed Forces.'This collaboration marks Reliance Group's fourth major international defence partnership, following earlier ventures with Dassault Aviation, Thales Group, and the announcement, shares of Reliance Infrastructure rose by 3.5%, closing at ₹404.40 on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The market's response reflects investor confidence in the long-term value of this strategic move. While the Indo-German partnership is being celebrated in New Delhi, reports have surfaced that Diehl Defence is also quietly promoting its IRIS-T air defence system to Pakistan1. The IRIS-T, known for its performance in Ukraine, is capable of intercepting supersonic missiles like Russia's P-800 Oniks—technologically similar to India's BrahMos. Analysts believe Pakistan's interest in the IRIS-T stems from its desire to counter India's BrahMos missile capabilities. This development has raised concerns in strategic circles about Germany's dual-track defence diplomacy in South Asia.

Jobe Bellingham signs for Borussia Dortmund, follows brother Jude Bellingham's footsteps
Jobe Bellingham follows in his brother's footsteps and signs for Borussia Dortmund on a five-year deal (Image via X/@Football5Star) Jobe Bellingham, the 19-year-old midfielder and younger brother of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, has signed a five-year contract with Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. He joins the German club from Sunderland, following his brother's path who developed into one of the world's top midfielders at Dortmund before moving to Real Madrid in 2023. The young midfielder chose Dortmund over an offer from Eintracht Frankfurt, making his move shortly after helping Sunderland secure promotion to the Premier League through the playoff final. "Jobe is an extremely talented footballer with an impressive level of maturity and intelligence on the pitch for someone so young. We have no doubt that he's the perfect fit for our philosophy of developing talented youngsters and giving them the opportunity to improve and establish themselves at the highest level," said Dortmund managing director for sport Lars Ricken. The 19-year-old has signed a five-year deal with Dortmund (Image via X) "We've known Jobe for several years, and of course we have followed his progress very closely. He has taken another huge step forward in his development over the last year, and even at the age of 19 he has become a real leader," stated Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl. Poll Do you think Jobe Bellingham will be as successful as his brother Jude? Yes, he has great potential. No, he will struggle. Like his brother Jude, Jobe emerged from the Birmingham City academy and made his senior debut at age 16 in 2022. He also represents England's Under-21 team. His performances in the Championship earned him the league's young player of the year award in April, and he was named to the team of the season. Bellingham joins Dortmund after the team secured Champions League qualification by finishing fourth in the Bundesliga on the final day of the season. "We're delighted that we were able to complete this deal before the FIFA Club World Cup so that we can see Jobe in our colours for the first time in the United States," Kehl added. Bellingham will wear number 77 and is eligible to play in Dortmund's upcoming Club World Cup matches in the United States. Bombay Sport Exchange Ep. 6: Harish Thawani on cricket's TV market and the watershed moments The tournament schedule includes matches against Brazil's Fluminense on June 17, followed by Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa on June 21, and South Korea's Ulsan HD on June 25. Dortmund hopes Bellingham can make a similar impact as his brother, who nearly led the club to a Bundesliga title in 2023, though they fell short in the final game while Jude watched from the sideline due to injury.
