Mahindra & Mahindra shares jump 2% after company gets unconditional CCI nod for SML Isuzu acquisition
Shares of Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) rose 2% after the company received unconditional approval from the Competition Commission of India (CCI) for its proposed acquisition of a controlling stake in SML Isuzu Limited. As of 9:42 AM, the shares were trading 1.91% higher at Rs 3,064.70. The acquisition involves purchasing a total 58.96% stake in SML Isuzu through two transactions—43.96% from promoter Sumitomo Corporation and 15% from public shareholder Isuzu Motors Ltd. Following the acquisition, M&M will launch an open offer to acquire up to 26% of the remaining equity from public shareholders at ₹1,554.60 per share, as per SEBI's takeover norms. The CCI clearance, communicated on June 17 under Section 31(1) of the Competition Act, 2002, removes a key regulatory hurdle for the deal. M&M is expected to move ahead with the share purchase and open offer process shortly. The acquisition is part of M&M's strategy to expand its presence in the commercial vehicle segment above 3.5 tonnes. Currently holding a 3% market share in this category, M&M aims to double its share to 6% with the completion of the transaction. The company further targets a market share of 10–12% by FY31 and 20% by FY36.

BSE shares fall 5% after NSE gets Tuesday expiry, brokerages expect volume impact and market share loss
Shares of BSE Ltd dropped 5.23% to ₹2,525 on Wednesday, reacting sharply to SEBI's new directive that assigns Thursday as the expiry day for the exchange's equity derivative contracts starting September 1, 2025. The move is expected to hit BSE's growing index derivatives business, prompting analysts to revise projections. Later the shares recovered to nearly 3% off day's low and as of 9:20 am the stock was trading 1.22% lower at Rs 2,632.00 Leading brokerages such as Motilal Oswal and Goldman Sachs have downgraded their expectations. Motilal Oswal cut its earnings estimates for BSE by 9% for FY26 and 12% for FY27, slashing the target price to ₹2,300, down from ₹2,600. The brokerage sees the expiry shift leading to a 350–400 bps market share loss in index options. Goldman Sachs echoed similar concerns, trimming its target price to ₹2,430 while estimating a 3 percentage point drop in market share, even though the firm noted rising participation and long-term confidence in BSE's derivatives platform. Analysts also flagged stretched valuations—BSE currently trades at over 53x FY27 projected earnings—which, combined with earnings downgrades, increases downside risk in the near term.

This enhances M&M's commercial vehicle footprint.
