All cylinders are firing and that led to record Rs 1,400 crore profit for Motilal Oswal group in Q1: Raamdeo Agrawal

Raamdeo Agrawal, Chairman, Motilal Oswal Group, highlights the unprecedented expansion in the capital market, fueling Motilal Oswal's record performance. The company witnessed substantial growth in operating revenue and bottom line, driven by exceptional performance in its AMC, PWM, and capital market segments. Treasury gains further contributed to a bumper profit of Rs 1,430 crores for the quarter. ADVERTISEMENT How was the quarter gone by? It was marred by some challenges, regulatory hurdles, etc. The FII sentiment was a little dampened, there are question marks on tariffs. How did business shape up for you? Raamdeo Agrawal: The capital market jashna (celebration) is still on as the kind of expansion that is happening in the capital is historical. Irrespective of what I have seen in the last 40-50 years, this is unprecedented and that is impacting the performance of Motilal Oswal. We have 24% operating revenue growth and 21% bottom line growth year on year which is a record and the declared profit at Rs 1,430 crores for the quarter is also very big but that has to be seen in terms of what happened in Q4 in terms of mark to market. There was a loss in the Q4 and that kind of over amplifies the profit in this quarter, but nevertheless, it is a bumper result by every measure. It is led by two-three segments which have been doing exceptionally well. Our AMC had the highest growth – 70-75% growth in AUM – and hence profits. The PWM also grew very strongly. In the capital market, we have become the number one QIP company. Every day, so many companies are closing their QIPs or IPOs and block deals and that is where we have raised about Rs 30,000 crore for Indian corporates in this quarter and that has led to expansion in revenues. On top of it, the Treasury has done exceptionally well in this quarter because the market itself is up about 9-10%,. Maybe the entire treasury is up 14-15%. All in all, all cylinders are firing and that led to over Rs 1,400 crore profit for this quarter which in our history is by far the biggest. Want to talk about these segments individually. Let's talk about the brokerage income first because you are seeing a little bit of muted performance. But again that was the story of Q1. How do you see that panning out in the future quarters? Raamdeo Agrawal: This is muted because of this change in the regulatory framework, weekly expiry and all that peaked out sometime in September last year. Another quarter of a muted performance from only broking is going to continue because the peak was in September last year. I would think that July, August, September – the current quarter would also compare very well with the April, May, June quarter. But by year-on-year comparison, it will look muted and then things will start picking up. By the fourth quarter, it will look like a 30-40% growth kind of situation and that is the one segment that is almost 50% of the entire revenue and profit, which year-on-year is looking a bit weaker because of regulatory action. Otherwise, other segments of the market, other businesses are doing very well. Is it coming as a relief that Sebi has now lifted restrictions on Jane Street? That was also sort of dampening sentiment. Raamdeo Agrawal: Yes, I mean, they were not my clients, so we were not that greatly impacted but yes, broader market activities could have got impacted and now normalcy will be restored once they start trading. I would not know what exactly was the impact, but if that was a main factor in terms of counterparty volumes, then that will help us. ADVERTISEMENT What does the future hold for the Motilal Oswal Group? Wealth management is a key segment that you are focusing on. What are the IPO plans? Is it before the close of this fiscal? Raamdeo Agrawal: No, I do not think any segment of the company is going to go public. They are all drawing a lot of strength from each other. So, I do not think there is anything on the cards for taking one particular segment of the company public. I mean, at some point of time, of course, housing finance will go public, but otherwise the rest of the capital market will remain under one roof. As far as the future is concerned, the expansion of the capital market which started from 2020 on the back of relentless participation by retail in a big way with the number of demat accounts jumping from 40 million to 200 million and we are set to again double from 200 million to 400 million in another five years. ADVERTISEMENT I see a relentless expansion of new clients and existing clients also participating very strongly because the returns are very attractive compared to the fixed income segment in the market. The only caveat is that corporate performance is not that rosy. So far, in Q1 we have seen very few very good results. So, we have to see how the monetary and fiscal loosening that has happened in the last six months plays out in the second half of the year when the economy picks up. Except for the concerns over corporate earnings or some kind of hesitation at this juncture, I would say everything is fine, inflation is under control, interest rates are low, liquidity is ample, banks are being asked to lend. So, you got to have a little patience in the market. In the longer run, we are very well placed to be one of the sectors in the economy which will grow 20-25% for the next five to seven years.

Bihar failed to submit utilisation reports for ₹70,000 cr projects: CAG

The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has pulled up the Bihar government for failing to submit utilisation certificates for projects worth Rs 70,877 crore. The report of the CAG on State Finances for the year 2023-24 was tabled in the state assembly on Thursday. "Despite the requirement of submitting UCs within the stipulated time period, 49,649 outstanding UCs of Rs 70,877.61 crore were not received by the Accountant General (Accounts & Entitlements), Bihar, as on March 31, 2024," it said. In the absence of UCs, there is no assurance that funds disbursed have been used for the intended purpose, the report said. "Moreover, high pendency of UCs is fraught with the risk of embezzlement, misappropriation and diversion of funds," it said. Of the total Rs 70,877.61 crore, Rs 14,452.38 crore pertained to the period up to 2016-17. The top five defaulting departments are Panchayati Raj (Rs 28,154.10 crore), Education (Rs 12,623.67 crore), Urban Development (Rs 11,065.50 crore), Rural Development (Rs 7,800.48 crore) and Agriculture (Rs 2,107.63 crore), the report said. The CAG noted that despite the requirement of submitting Detailed Contingent (DC) Bills against the advance money withdrawn through Abstract Contingent (AC) Bills, DC bills against 22,130 AC bills of Rs 9,205.76 crore were pending for submission. "Non-submission of DC bills within the prescribed period breaches financial discipline and enhances the risk of misappropriation of public money," it said. For the financial year 2023-24, the total budget of Bihar was Rs 3.26 lakh crore, the CAG said, noting that the state spent only Rs 2.60 lakh crore or 79.92 per cent of the total budget. "The State surrendered only Rs 23,875.55 crore (36.44 per cent) of its total savings of Rs 65,512.05 crore. During the financial year 2023-24, the Liabilities of the State increased by 12.34 per cent over the previous year," it said. "Internal debt contributed 59.26 per cent of the total outstanding liabilities of the State. Net liabilities under Internal Debt increased by 13.51 per cent (Rs 28,107.06 crore), over the previous year," the report added.

Stock markets tumble in early trade dragged down by Bajaj Finance, foreign fund outflows

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 2,133.69 crore on Thursday, according to exchange data. However, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) bought stocks worth Rs 2,617.14 crore. "The near-term market construct has turned weak. Sustained FII selling of Rs 11,572 crore in the last four trading days will weigh on the market," VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, said. In Asian markets, Japan's Nikkei 225 index, Shanghai's SSE Composite index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng quoted lower while South Korea's Kospi traded in positive territory. The US markets ended on a mixed note on Thursday. India and the UK signed a landmark free trade agreement on Thursday, which, starting next year, will see 99 per cent of Indian exports enter the UK duty-free, while reducing tariffs on British products such as cars and whisky. The deal, which comes days ahead of the US moratorium on higher tariffs coming to an end, aims to double the USD 56 billion trade between the world's fifth and sixth largest economies by 2030. "The India-UK FTA, which is India's first comprehensive trade agreement with a major developed country, has two implications from the market perspective. One, this FTA will significantly boost trade between both countries, which will be seen as a positive by the market. Two, this FTA along with many other FTAs signed by India with other countries, projects India as a nation committed to free trade.
