Wealth Company launches Bharat Bhoomi Fund with Rs 1,000 cr green shoe
The Wealth Company Asset Management, part of the Pantomath Group, has launched Bharat Bhoomi Fund—a Rs 1,000 crore category II alternative investment fund (AIF) with a Rs 1,000 crore green shoe option—under its fifth Bharat Value Fund (BVF) series.
The fund will follow a diversified capital allocation strategy—investing in data centres, warehousing, hospitality, and renewable parks, sectors aligned with India's evolving infrastructure, digital transformation, and sustainability priorities.
Alongside this, investments will target mid-to-premium residential, retail, plotted villas, and mixed-use developments across high-growth cities such as Mumbai (MMR), NCR, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad. The fund will also focus on infrastructure-led corridors and plotted developments benefiting from upcoming connectivity and urban expansion.
The fund's approach is designed to identify projects with clear land titles, regulatory readiness, and early exit visibility. It will target ready-to-launch assets that can move swiftly from investment to value creation.
With a pipeline spanning approximately 1,200 acres across six projects, the fund aims to deploy capital with speed, prudence, and precision while focusing on execution-ready projects across high-opportunity corridors and core cities.
The Wealth Company stated that the real estate asset class perfectly aligns with its focus on tangible value, risk-managed returns, and disciplined capital deployment.
Madhu Lunawat, founder and director of The Wealth Company Asset Management, said, 'As capital becomes more thoughtful, the demand for real assets with real outcomes has never been higher. Bharat Bhoomi Fund allows meeting that demand with discipline, data, and domain expertise. The Wealth Company's investment ethos is now extending confidently into India's real estate space—with conviction and clarity.'
Additionally, The Wealth Company Asset Management, formerly known as Pantomath Capital Management, houses all alternate products under India Inflection Opportunity Trust (IIOT).
BVF is a category II AIF launched by IIOT and managed by The Wealth Company. BVF primarily focuses on pre-IPO investment opportunities in Indian growth-stage enterprises.

New AC temperature rule in India: What is it and why government wants to limit AC cooling between 20°C and 28°C
The Indian government is planning a new rule to control the temperature range at which air conditioners can run in the country. Announcing the new provision, Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said 'A new provision is being implemented soon regarding air conditioning standards. The temperature standardisation for ACs will be set between 20°C to 28°C, which means we will not be able to cool below 20°C or heat above 28°C.' 'This is a first-of-its-kind experiment, aiming to standardize temperature settings,' Khattar added. What the new AC rule means Currently, AC temperature goes up to 18°C (16°C in a few) with a maximum of up to 30°C. Once implemented, the new AC temperature provision will restrict this temperature range to 20°C – 28°C. This means users will not be able to set their AC temperature below 20°C and above 30°C. The new rules aim to standardize how air conditioners are used across the country and reduce the high electricity use caused by setting the temperature too low. The government says that it will keep track of how the new rules are followed. However, exact detail of how this will be enforced, especially in different sectors, has not been specified yet. Why new rule for AC temperature During the event, Khattar said that the new AC temperature provision is part of a larger effort to save electricity and manage India's rising energy demand. One of the main reasons behind the move is to save electricity, especially in summer when power use is at its peak. Many people set their ACs to very low temperatures, even as low as 16°C, which puts a lot of pressure on the power supply. Pankaj Agarwal, a senior official from the power and housing ministry told Bloomberg that air conditioners use about 50 gigawatts of electricity — that's around 20% of the country's total power demand. 'Studies show that every 1°C increase in AC temperature cuts energy use by 6%. That means if everyone sets their ACs just 1 degree higher, we can save about 3 gigawatts of power during peak times,' Agarwal said. As quoted in Bloomberg report, stricter energy rules for air conditioners could help save up to 60 gigawatts of peak electricity demand by 2035, according to a study by the University of California, Berkeley. This would also avoid the need to spend ₹7.5 trillion (around $88 billion) on building new power plants and upgrading the electricity grid.

Gold Rate Today: Yellow metal rises to Rs 97,200/10g as US-China trade uncertainty boosts demand
Gold prices rose on Wednesday amid lingering uncertainty over the finalisation of a U.S.-China trade agreement, prompting safe-haven buying ahead of key U.S. inflation data. At 10:50 am, August gold futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange ( MCX ) were trading at Rs 97,208 per 10 grams, up Rs 306 from the previous close. In contrast, July silver futures edged down by Rs 28 or 0.03% to Rs 1,06,721 per kg. In the global market, spot gold gained 0.5% to $3,339.60 an ounce (as of 0350 GMT), while U.S. gold futures also rose 0.5% to $3,361.20. U.S. and Chinese officials said on Tuesday they had agreed on a framework to revive their trade truce and lift China's export restrictions on rare earths. However, there was little indication of a long-term resolution to the trade dispute. After two days of talks in London, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the framework would be presented to President Donald Trump for approval, with the Chinese delegation also seeking a nod from President Xi Jinping . "Gold prices remain volatile as investors await a clearer resolution from the ongoing US-China trade negotiations taking place in London. A favorable outcome of the US-China trade talks is likely to drive gold prices down. Attention is also turning to inflation data set to be released over the next three days in both India and the UK. Additionally, Thursday's auction of long-term Treasury bonds may offer further guidance on price movements," said Aksha Kamboj, VP, India Bullion and Jewellers Association and Executive Chairperson, Aspect Global Ventures. The two countries had previously imposed tit-for-tat tariffs in April, escalating trade tensions. Talks in Geneva last month led to a rollback of some tariffs from triple-digit levels. Meanwhile, the World Bank lowered its global growth forecast for 2025 by 0.4 percentage points to 2.3%, citing trade tensions and uncertainty as major headwinds. Investors are now awaiting the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) report, due at 1230 GMT, for more clarity on the Federal Reserve's policy outlook. Most economists expect the Fed to hold interest rates steady for the next couple of months, with inflation risks still in focus. Elsewhere, spot silver was unchanged at $36.56 per ounce, platinum also steadied at $1,222.14, while palladium was up 0.6% to $1,066.19. "Gold has support at $3300-3275 while resistance is at $3345-3360. Silver has support at $36.20-35.90 while resistance is at $36.75-36.95. In INR, gold has support at Rs96,620-96,290 while resistance at Rs97,350-97,640. Silver has support at Rs105,859-105,050 while resistance is at Rs1,07,750-1,08,650," said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities.
