Swiggy may recover quick commerce share despite widening losses: Morgan Stanley
Brokerage house Morgan Stanley believes online food and grocery delivery company Swiggy 's quick commerce business has a bright future. This is despite the fact that while quick commerce has helped drive Swiggy 's revenue growth, the company's expenditure on the vertical continues to drag its bottom line down. Instamart , Swiggy's quick delivery business, saw its gross order value (GOV) rise 101 per cent year-on-year to Rs 4,670 crore. However, the adjusted Ebitda loss also increased to Rs 840 crore during the same period. Nevertheless, Morgan Stanley said in a recent note that Swiggy is well-equipped to weather the rising competition in the quick commerce segment with enough balance sheet strength to continue investing in the vertical. Initiating coverage on Swiggy shares, Morgan Stanley analysts Gaurav Rateria, Sulabh Govila and Sakshi Rana stated in the June 2 note that medium-term concerns about competition in quick commerce will persist. Multiple new players, including major ecommerce companies, are now entering the industry. Even so, Swiggy will be able to protect its relative market share, the analysts noted. Morgan Stanley has revised its estimates for quick commerce's total addressable market—representing the entire potential demand—upwards to USD 57 billion by 2030, from USD 42 billion earlier. The brokerage expects 150 Indian cities to be conducive to the service, compared to the top 30 cities now. This implies multifold growth in the USD 8 billion market seen at the end of March 2025. Existing companies with investments in infrastructure will benefit more from the quick commerce upsurge, the Morgan Stanley note read, and Swiggy has invested heavily in the space over the past 12 months. The company met its target of 1,000 dark stores, adding 316 of these micro-warehouses in the March quarter, and is looking to expand the network. "We believe that store additions will be a derivative of growth... we have made a choice of network where we have these megapods, which are two-and-a-half times larger than dark stores and these can do 5,000-6,000 orders per day compared to 2,000-3,000 orders a day (done by smaller dark stores)," Swiggy's chief financial officer Rahul Bothra had told ET after the March quarter results in May. Swiggy's current balance sheet strength and profit in food delivery will allow it to continue quick commerce investments and focus on at least maintaining market share, Morgan Stanley said. Total cumulative investment, in the form of operating losses or cash burn, in its quick commerce vertical is expected to be over USD 1.2 billion over the next two to three years before the company reaches break-even at the adjusted Ebitda level, the brokerage house said. Swiggy shares rose as much as 9.5 percent during trade today to Rs 365 apiece. The counter closed 8.73 percent higher at Rs 362.50 per share, against a 0.32 percent rise in the Sensex to 80,998.25.

Need of 6,900 acre land, $9 bn investment by 2030 to set up EV infra: Report
Nearly 6,900 acre of land and USD 9 billion investments will be required by 2030 for setting up facilities for EV (electric vehicle) manufacturing, lithium-ion battery production and public charging stations , according to Savills India . Real estate consultant Savills India has released report 'Charged for Change: How EVs Are Reshaping Indian Real Estate' stating that the EV market in India has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by market forces, government policies, rising environmental concerns, and increasing fuel costs. The government has launched several initiatives to accelerate EV adoption and strengthen the supporting ecosystem. "An investment of USD 7.5 to 9 billion will be required by 2030, primarily for land acquisition and the development of facilities for EV manufacturing, lithium-ion battery production, and public charging stations," the consultant said. In high-adoption scenario, the required investments will be USD 9 billion while USD 7.5 billion will be needed in the case of medium adoption. The report further estimated 5,760 to 6,852 acres of land by 2030 to support EV manufacturing, lithium-ion battery plants, and public charging infrastructure. Srinivas N, Managing Director, Industrial & logistics, Savilla India , said, "Aligning with India's target of achieving 30 per cent EV penetration by 2030, the real estate sector is expected to experience significant growth driven by the rise in EV adoption." The growing demand for EVs will stimulate the need for multiple real estate segments, including industrial and warehousing spaces to support EV and battery manufacturing, EV assembly units, and the storage and distribution of EV components and batteries, he added. Additionally, the expansion of supply chains will increase the demand for strategically located warehouses and logistics parks, said Srinivas. "The government's role with several policies and various initiatives, collectively aims to establish a robust EV ecosystem in the country by fostering innovation, investment and infrastructure development while addressing climate change and energy security concerns," he said. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), in line with projections by NITI Aayog and the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), estimates cumulative EV sales in India to reach 25.3-31.8 million units by 2030 - an annual average of 4.2 to 5.3 million units. According to Savills, this will drive land requirement of 2,009 to 2,467 acres for manufacturing facilities, with a built-up potential of 43.8 to 53.7 million square feet.

Jackpot for THESE 5 companies as India set to become Semiconductor Powerhouse, Modi government plans to attract..., domestic players to...
(Representational image: New Delhi: The Narendra Modi government is planning to capture a 5 percent share in global chip production by 2024 under 'Semicon 2.0'. In 2021, India announced a USD 10 billion (approximately ₹83,000 crore) incentive package to develop its semiconductor ecosystem. Now, the funds have begun to be allocated, and five projects related to chip fabrication, OSAT, and ATMP have been approved under this scheme. 5 Companies Likely to Benefit the Most The main motive of the Indian government is not only to attract global chip companies but also to boost domestic players. If the government manages to implement the plan accordingly, major investment opportunities could open up in India's semiconductor value chain. Here are five stocks that could benefit from this transformation: 1. IZMO IZMO is known for interactive marketing and visualization technology in the automotive sector. Over the years, it has also made inroads into semiconductor packaging. 2. MosChip Technologies MosChip is a key player in India's semiconductor design ecosystem. 3. Cyient With over 30 years of experience in engineering and technology solutions, Cyient is now emphasizing semiconductor design. 4. HCL Technologies One of India's top IT companies, HCL Technologies is now expanding into semiconductor design and testing. 5. Tata Electronics (Unlisted) This Tata Group company is building India's first commercial semiconductor fabrication plant in Dholera, Gujarat. These companies, both listed and unlisted, are well-positioned to gain from India's ambitious semiconductor roadmap.
