Stock Market Today LIVE: The US tariff will have little impact on India's 2HFY26E earnings recovery trajectory, as high-weightage sectors such as financials, consumption, and technology are unaffected. There may be a short-term selloff as the markets are already fragile with weak earnings momentum (1QFY26 numbers are tepid) and little valuation comfort, with most indices trading at LTA+ PER. The main sectors that are affected are textiles, auto ancillaries, chemicals and, possibly, OMCs, if Russian crude imports are stopped, said Madhavi Arora, Lead – Economist at Emkay Global Financial Services Ltd.
There are potential risks to pharma and EMS if the current exemptions are terminated in the new 25%+ regime (not known yet). We believe the 25%+ regime is the worst-case scenario and the final bilateral deal could be reached with a lower tariff. In any case, a meaningful correction is an opportunity to buy the market with consumer discretionary and industrials as the key sectors, she added.

Stock Market Today LIVE: Indian stock market has partially discounted US tariffs announcement by underperforming the global peers over past few weeks, and markets will attempt to recover from these initial losses as the day progresses. Today's monthly derivative expiry may add another layer of volatility to trading, said Devarsh Vakil, Head of Prime Research at HDFC Securities.
According to him, recent swing lows of 24,598 and 24,473 could now act as immediate support levels. On the higher side, the band of 24,900 - 25,000 would continue to serve as a substantial hurdle for the Nifty 50, indicating resistance for any upward moves.

Stock Market Today LIVE: Mixed Wall Street cues, countdown to August 1st tariff deadline and Fed meet, FPI outflows may continue to dominate trade setup on Dalal Street. Participants may gradually build positions over next few days as fresh series post July expiry may prove to be rewarding as large part of FED meet and tariff uncertainty may get over by the end of the week, said Vikram Kasat, Head - Advisory, PL Capital.

Stock Market Today LIVE: A ten-fold rise in tariffs will be a drag on growth, to the extent of 20-30 bps. But, it would be a mistake to extrapolate the announced tariffs to eternity. We expect a trade deal in the next 6 months leading to reductions in the rate of tariffs, maybe in the region of 15%. Meanwhile, do expect a small cut to EPS estimates of major indices as the correlation of GDP growth and corporate profitability is highest for India vs. peers, said Jyoti Prakash, Managing Partner, Equity and PMS at AlphaaMoney

On the other hand, Jio Financial Services, Eternal, PowerGrid Corporation of India JSW Steel and SBI Life Insurance Company were the top gainers.

Stock Market Today LIVE: There is a short-term hit to Indian exports and GDP growth from 25% tariff on India by the US. This short-term hit will reflect in the stock market, too, in the short-term. From the investor perspective it is important to understand that the 25% tariff will come down after the negotiations which start in mid-August. The 25% tariff imposed on India is far higher than the rates reached in trade deals with other countries. This is the typical Trumpian strategy to get better deals from India in other areas and finally settle at a tariff rate around 20% or less, said Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited.
Nifty 50 is unlikely to go below the support level of 24,500. Investors can buy the dip focusing on domestic consumption themes, particularly segments like leading private sector banking names, telecom, capital goods, cement, hotels and select autos which have done well in Q1, he added.
31 Jul 2025, 09:21 AM IST

Sukoon and Shukoor: Bhendi Bazaar's revival pushes forward
MUMBAI: In the heart of Bhendi Bazaar, where narrow, dimly lit alleys service one of the oldest parts of the inner-city, residents now speak a different language: one of sukoon (peace) and shukoor (gratitude). These two words capture the transformation unfolding in Dawoodi Bohra Mohalla, a place once synonymous with crumbling buildings, encroached streets, and shared toilets. Flat in Al- Ezz twin towers at Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust in Mumbai. (Anshuman Poyrekar/ HT Photo) By the end of 2025, over 1,280 families will move into Al Ezz – 53-storey twin towers that occupy 1.34 acres and whose name means 'honour' in Arabic. A mixed-use development, the towers will also house 260 shops, and will replace 23 dilapidated buildings from the old Bhendi Bazaar. Al Ezz is one of six multi-storey towers being built as part of one of India's largest urban renewal projects. Covering 16.5 acres, the cluster redevelopment project is helmed by the Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust (SBUT). Launched in 2009, it will eventually rehouse 3,200 families and 1,250 shops, once housed in 250 dilapidated buildings. Moving into Al Ezz will be a life-changing event for Tasneem Rajkotwala, who recalls her earlier life in a 150-sq ft home with a shared toilet. 'We're so happy to finally have flats on ownership, a space that's ours. There's so much sukoon, and we're filled with shukoor for our Syedna, who gave us this better life.' Rajkotwala's new home is a 375-sqft, one-bedroom apartment with a private bathroom. She will have access to elevators, round-the-clock water supply, and a garbage chute to segregate dry and west waste on every floor. The contrast with her past life is striking. 'Earlier, we had no privacy. There was no proper garbage disposal, no parking space, and water had to be filled early in the morning.' Initiated in 2009 by the late Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin, the spiritual leader of the Dawoodi Bohra community, the SBUT project is revolutionary not only due to its scale but also because it preserves the culture and social ethos of the old settlement, giving its identity new expression in a modern avatar. Built into this blueprint are community spaces, once cramped and overrun, that have been restored. The local mosque, previously too small for gatherings, now comfortably hosts prayers in a large and serene environment in the Raudat Tahera. Like the rest of the project, Al Ezz is not just rehousing its residents, it's rebuilding lives. 'It's a blueprint for how Indian cities can modernise without erasing identity,' said the SBUT spokesperson. In Al Ezz, alongside residential units, are three floors housing commercial units. Already operational, they have ensured that businesses continue without displacement. A temporary commercial transit hub was constructed to support shopkeepers during the shift. Nafisa Kanchwala says her family has been living in Bohri Mohalla for around a century. 'Ours was a one-room, 350-sq ft home but now we are getting a 1 BHK with a private toilet. We look forward to living in an environment that promises good ventilation and great amenities.' The redevelopment goes beyond aesthetics. The project is built on principles of sustainability, safety and smart urban planning, boasting solar rooftop panels, rainwater harvesting, and a sewage treatment plant for responsible water use and disposal. Garbage chutes on every floor enable waste segregation at source. Wide 18-metre roads replace former 7-metre lanes, now complete with pedestrian footpaths and streetlights. Over 700 native trees are being planted to improve air quality and restore green cover. Open spaces, a children's play area, landscaped gardens, and seating areas designed to foster community interaction, a rare luxury in the former congested quarters, have enhanced the quality of life for residents. Bhendi Bazaar's identity has always been closely tied to its commercial life, from antique stores to beloved eateries like Jilani's and Shabbir's Tawakkal Sweets. Rather than displace these icons, SBUT has woven them into the new landscape, blending modern commercial hubs with old-world charm. The SBUT project comprises six towers. While two towers, in Phase I, have been occupied, two others including Al Ezz, in Phase II, are approaching completion. The last two will be complete in 2027. Even during construction, community life is not compromised. 'More than 950 residential transit units were built at Anjeerwadi, with another 1,100 provided by MHADA, ensuring that families were moved into safe, temporary housing,' said the SBUT spokesperson. Says Rajkotwala, 'We are at peace even in our transit homes. It's already better than the homes we left behind.'

238 AC locals, automatic closed door non-AC coaches, new terminuses
MUMBAI: Two years after tenders to procure air-conditioned (AC) locals were floated and quickly withdrawn (the railways could not furnish cogent reasons for it), the Indian Railways (IR) cleared the decks to procure 238 AC local trains. On Monday, the chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of the Railway Board, Satish Kumar, held a series of meetings with officials from the central railways (CR) and western railways (WR) to chalk out the modalities of the way forward. Mumbai, India - Aug. 4, 2025: (L to R) CR GM Dharamveer Meena, Chairman of Indian railway Satish Kumar, poses for media at iconic heritage building lobby at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, before leaving for Jogeshwari railway station, in Mumbai, India, on Monday, August 4, 2025. (Photo by Anshuman Poyrekar/ Hindustan Times) (Hindustan Times) Kumar also announced that the prototype of an automatic door closure mechanism in non-AC local trains will be ready by December and made operational gradually. AC locals for Mumbai The need for more AC local trains in Mumbai's suburban network has been gaining traction over a period of time, as it facilitates ease of travel. Elucidating about the present move, Kumar said, 'We are planning 238 12-car AC local trains. We have ironed out all the challenges (regarding the tendering process) and will soon call for tenders.' CR presently operates 80 services ferrying an average of 79,000 commuters daily while WR runs 109 services that cater to 1.25 lakh commuters on an average daily. The move to acquire the AC locals comes on the back of a promise made by union railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw earlier this year. It was stuck purportedly following protests by passenger groups against exorbitant ticket pricing. The project falls under Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP). According to the plan, MUTP-3 aims to procure 47 AC local trains at an estimated cost of ₹3,491 crore, while MUTP-3A envisions 191 trains at ₹15,802 crore. In June 2023, the Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC) floated global tenders for the project but the decision was deferred, leaving the procurement in limbo. Meanwhile, Kumar said, automatic closed door non-AC trains will be operational by the end of 2025. The prototype is being manufactured at the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai, and after its success is ascertained, it will be expanded to the rest of the fleet. A CR official told HT that a similar prototype stands in the Kurla car shed, which is also an option. The railways will also augment the present 12-car trains to 15-car ones in order to accommodate more commuters. Integrating suburban and metro trains In Monday's meeting, the need for multi-modal integration (MMI) was also discussed, in which authorities discussed Khar and Ghatkopar stations. In Khar, for instance, an additional 5000 square meter area has been created through an elevated deck above the platforms where shops and other commercial hubs will be created. Kumar discussed similar large spaces at all railway stations which will merge with respective upcoming metro lines. 'We will carry out a detailed survey of the railway stations where integration with metro rail lines is required. This has already been implemented in a few stations – for instance, at Ghatkopar work on two concourses (to create more entry and exit points between the metro and railway station) are underway, with one being recently completed. Work on the remaining two can be carried out only at night because of passenger movement through the day,' said Kumar. The survey is likely to include a study of passenger footfall, travel pattern, among other factors. The MMI facilities are implemented within a 500-metre radius of each metro station. More rail terminuses in MMR Bearing in mind the 2027 Kumbh Mela in Nashik, IR is planning to roll out extra trains and enhance railway infrastructure. Kumbh preparedness will cost IR ₹1100 crore, most of it going to redevelop Nashik station and others around it. 'We have to run more trains, for which it is important to improve rail infra,' added Kumar. On Monday, rail authorities also highlighted the various stages of progress of new rail terminuses across Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). Kumar charted out the requirement of mega rail terminuses at Jogeshwari, Panvel, Kalyan and Vasai, apart from upgrading the existing ones such as CSMT which is being redeveloped at the cost of ₹2500 crore. When questioned about the delay in the pace of work, Kumar pointed out that 'ongoing works are being carried out at stations and not a greenfield, for which railways have to ensure rail traffic is not disturbed, which makes it challenging'. Kumar added that the work at CSMT will be speeded up.

"No Tariffs Or Sanctions Can Halt...": Russia's History Lesson On US Threats
Moscow: Russia has accused the Donald Trump administration in the United States of pursuing a "neocolonial" policy against nations in Global South to maintain Washington's hegemony, and said no amount of tariffs and sanctions could change the "natural course of history." Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that US was putting "politically motivated economic pressure" on nations who are choosing an independent course on the international stage, and expressed Moscow's willingness to boost cooperation with these countries to form a "truly multilateral" and equal world order. Remarks from Moscow came days after US President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new tariffs on dozens of countries. Calling sanctions and restrictions a "regrettable reality" of today's historical stage that affects the entire world, Zakharova said that the US cannot come to terms with the "loss of hegemony in the emerging world order." 🎙 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria #Zakharova: Washington is unable to accept the erosion of its dominance in an emerging multipolar international order. ❗️ No tariff wars or sanctions can halt the natural course of history. — MFA Russia 🇷🇺 (@mfa_russia) August 4, 2025 "Sanctions and restrictions have unfortunately become a defining feature of the current historical period, impacting countries across the globe. Unable to accept the erosion of its dominance in an emerging multipolar international order, Washington continues to pursue a neocolonial agenda, employing politically motivated economic pressure against those who choose an independent course on the international stage," she said. Commenting on Trump's tariff policy against Russia's partners in the Global South, Zakharova called it a "direct encroachment" on the national sovereignty of nations and an "attempt to interfere in their internal affairs". "We firmly believe that no tariff wars or sanctions can halt the natural course of history. We are supported by a vast number of partners, like-minded states, and allies, particularly among the countries of the Global South and, above all, within BRICS, who share this perspective," Zakharova said, adding that Russia stands ready to deepen cooperation and resist the "unlawful unilateral sanctions." Zakharova was referring to the bloc originally comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, expanded in 2024 to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates, with Indonesia joining in 2025. She said that US policy is fraught with a slowdown in economic growth, damage to supply chains, and fragmentation of the global economy. "Contrary to the basic provisions in the area of free trade, which the Western countries themselves once promoted, there is politically motivated protectionism and voluntaristic build-up of tariff barriers," she added. Trump's Tariffs On India Donald Trump on Monday said it will "substantially raise" the tariff paid by India for buying "massive amounts of Russian Oil", stating that much of the oil purchased from Moscow is being sold in the open market "for big profits". In a strong worded reply, India reminded Washington that when it began importing from Russia after the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict, the US "actively encouraged such imports". It also countered the stance of the European Union for singling out Indian refiners over their exports of crude. The foreign ministry said that while India's imports are "a necessity compelled by the global market situation", the nations criticising it are themselves "indulging in trade with Russia" even when "such trade is not even a vital compulsion".
