Analysts warn of further weakness if Nifty fails to hold 24,500 level
Nifty has declined for five straight weeks and may remain under pressure this week as well. The index faces immediate resistance in 24,800–25,000 zone, with support at 24,500. A break below this level could trigger a deeper sell-off. Healthcare, cement, and FMCG sectors may exhibit relative strength, while caution is advised in IT and metal stocks.

On weekly chart, Nifty has formed a bearish candle with a long upper shadow, indicating selling pressure near 25,000 level. The index is currently trading below 50-day moving average, reflecting a bearish bias. It continues to face resistance at the upper band of the falling channel, near 25,000. A decisive breakout above this level could shift the bias to bullish, while a drop below 24,500 may lead to further profit booking. A sustained move above 24,800 could trigger buying interest, potentially taking the index to 25,000–25,300 range. On the downside, a break below 24,500 may drag the index toward 24,350–24,000. Expect Nifty to trade within a broad range of 25,300–24,000 this week, with a negative bias. The weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains below its reference line and is trending downward, reinforcing the bearish momentum. Trading Strategy: For traders with a moderately bearish view for week ending Aug 7, a Put Spread strategy could offer controlled exposure to the downside. Buy one lot of Nifty 24,600 strike Put (premium: Rs 155–165) and sell one lot of 24,300 strike Put (premium: Rs 60–65). The breakeven point is 24,495, with profits below this level. The maximum loss is Rs 7,875, and the maximum potential reward is Rs 14,625. Live Events Sectors to watch: Healthcare, cement, and FMCG may continue to show strength. Bullish On: Asian Paints, Hindustan Unilever, Fortis Healthcare, TVS Motor, Ambuja Cements, and JSL. Bearish On: Adani Enterprises, Tata Motors, and Indigo. Agencies ROHAN SHAH TECHNICAL ANALYST, ASIT C. MEHTA INVESTMENT Where is Nifty headed this week? Nifty has posted a fiveweek losing streak after facing resistance at a bearish gap and now fallen below the 10-week EMA, which had acted as intermediate support since April 2025. A decisive break below 24,500 — aligning with a key demand zone and the 20-week EMA — could accelerate profit booking and take the index toward 24,000– 23,800. Resistance lies at 25,400–25,600. Trading Strategy: The broader market remains under pressure. It is prudent to focus on sectors and stocks showing stronger relative strength with bullish structures. FMCG has shown resilience, rebounding from a longterm support zone. HUL, Colgate-Palmolive, and Dabur appear attractive for accumulation. In the two-wheeler space, Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj Auto have held firm at support levels. Sectors like pharma, defence, and oil & gas have breached key support levels and warrant caution. AJIT MISHRA SVP – RESEARCH, RELIGARE BROKING Where is Nifty headed this week? Nifty extended its losing streak into the fifth week, driven by persistent selling, global headwinds, and cautious sentiment. The index's close below the 24,600 mark confirms a bearish outlook , unless a strong rebound emerges. Immediate support is at 24,450; a breach may extend the decline toward 24,180 — a level that coincides with the long-term 200-day exponential moving average (DEMA). On recovery, resistance is at 24,800, followed by a significant hurdle around 25,000–25,250. What should investors do? Defensive positioning is prudent in the short term, while selective accumulation on dips in fundamentally strong stocks may offer longterm opportunities. Bullish Bias: Britannia, Dixon Technologies, Fortis, Godrej Consumer, Hero MotoCorp, Jio Financial, Jindal Stainless, Kaynes Tech and TVS Motor. Bearish Bias: ABB, Astral, Bandhan Bank, Bharat Forge, Coal India, IndusInd Bank, ONGC, Sona BLW, Tata Motors, Tata Tech and Wipro.

Centre plans entry norms for private sector in nuclear power push
India is considering qualifying criteria for private companies looking to operate nuclear power plants, said people familiar with deliberations. Such companies are barred from nuclear power generation , which is at present limited to central public sector undertakings.

The companies are likely to be evaluated by the government or a designated agency across several parameters, including financial and technical strengths, experience and track record, the people said. A minimum threshold of sustained positive revenue for a specific timeframe is among parameters being discussed to qualify for a licence. Potential applicants may also need to have a certain level of experience in setting up large projects. ET Bureau Legalities Being Discussed These conditions would be part of rules that would be rolled out after completion of the legislative process, people said. Live Events 'The idea is to allow companies that are established and have a proven record of developing large projects,' said one of the persons cited. 'The company should be a going concern, with a good financial outlook.' To have an active partnership with the private sector, the budget had proposed amendments to the Atomic Energy Act and the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act . Both Acts were introduced in the context of a state-owned nuclear thrust. The idea now is to encourage private sector participation as the clean energy requirement is set to rise in line with India's Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. Hectic deliberations are on to firm up changes to the two Acts, including legal vetting, said the person cited above. The liability law, envisaged as a safeguard against fallout after any nuclear accident, has been a long-standing concern of potential investors. India has currently installed nuclear power capacity of around 8.8 GW from 23 operational plants owned and run entirely by Nuclear Power Corporation of India. The government has set a target for 100 GW of nuclear energy capacity by 2047. It is aiming to first reach 22 GW nuclear power capacity by 2032. Economic Times WhatsApp channel )

Battle for 'captive' may intensify again: Telcos vs tech giants over hugely monetisable use case for 5G spectrum
A renewed attempt by the telecom department to ascertain demand for direct allocation of spectrum for setting up private captive 5G networks is set to ignite a fresh battle among technology and telecom companies, say industry executives. The fundamental disagreement revolves around control and making profits from private 5G spectrum and services, long touted as the most significant monetisable use case for 5G, executives said.

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) recently ordered a fresh study-three years after an initial one-to assess the demand potential for setting up private networks through spectrum given directly by DoT to companies. The first attempt saw interest from more than 20 companies including Infosys , Capgemini, GMR, Larsen & Toubro, Tata Communications , Tata Power , and Tejas Networks . However, the DoT later concluded that the device ecosystem was not yet ready to support the use case. Like in 2022, telcos this time too are opposing any move to directly allocate 5G spectrum, demanding the Centre to mandate setting up private networks by telcos themselves, or by leasing spectrum from them. Corporations and tech system integrators, on the other hand, have been seeking direct spectrum allocation . Live Events Telcos and tech biggies & cos at loggerheads over hugely monetisable use case for 5G spectrum "During the time of spectrum auction, the quantum of spectrum and its valuation were benchmarked, keeping in mind that the licensed access service providers of networks will be meeting the demands of private 5G spectrum by enterprises," said Lt. Gen S.P Kocchar, director general, Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), which represents private telcos Bharti Airtel , Reliance Jio, and Vodafone Idea . Kocchar added that direct allocation of spectrum to enterprises will result in spectrum fragmentation and allow back-door entry to enterprises in providing commercial telecom services without regulatory or financial compliances. Tech companies are terming DoT's latest move as yet another delaying tactic to protect spectrum holdings of telcos, while telcos say they have adequate 4G/5G spectrum to meet any requirement of enterprises. Broadband India Forum, which counts tech firms like Facebook, Google, Cisco, Amazon, Tata Consultancy Services , Microsoft, and Intel as its members, said there are enough international precedents where spectrum leasing or direct licencing of spectrum for private networks is permitted, citing models in the US, Finland, Australia, and Denmark. It added other nations including China, Germany, and the UK have thousands of private networks, with India lagging far behind. critical applications BIF president TV Ramachandran said there is clearly a lot of demand from the industry for private 5G, not for making calls, but for critical applications like industrial automation , healthcare services, and logistics solutions. "These applications require very high levels of non-failure requirements and reliability, and need low latency and strong security, which enterprises believe are best ensured through dedicated networks or direct control," Ramachandran told ET. Private networks, he said, will require very small allocation of spectrum, often just around 100 MHz, within a limited campus for internal use, which would not impact public networks. Digital services provider Tata Communications, which has developed capabilities to deploy private 5G networks for enterprises, said adoption of the 5G captive network use case would have been accelerated had the government allowed direct allocation in 2022 itself. "Originally for private 5G to take off, we had advocated that enterprises should be given spectrum privately for limited use for their areas and that would have accelerated some people to try it out," Amur Lakshminarayanan, CEO, Tata Communications told ET. He added that Tata Communications now has to approach another company-likely a telco-which already holds spectrum for trials with enterprises, as a stopgap solution. "The ecosystem has to develop and the government has to make sure that it becomes affordable for people to implement private 5G, which is distinct from public 5G which mobile operators are deploying on a large scale," Lakshminarayanan said. However, DoT has now highlighted that during recent analysis, it was observed that the device ecosystem for captive private networks is mostly available in the IMT band, which is used for mobile telephony services, and that 5G technology has also considerably advanced with varied use cases. "Also, system integrators are keenly interested in establishing CNPN based networks," it said, as the rationale for the fresh demand study.
