Analyst view
Gaurav Garg of Lemonn Markets Desk said the IPO presents an attractive short-term bet, supported by strong listing gain potential, healthy financials, and solid investor interest in the grey market."Borana Weaves' IPO offers a compelling short-term opportunity, with strong listing gain potential driven by robust growth, healthy margins, and attractive GMP. The company's niche positioning and integrated manufacturing give it an edge, but high regional concentration and raw material volatility remain key risks," said Garg."At a P/E of ~17.5x, valuations seem fair, making it a suitable pick for retail and HNI investors looking to capitalize on debut momentum—while long-term investors may want to monitor execution and expansion before committing," said Garg.

Zirakpur leads Mohali district in property tax collection on final day of OTS scheme
1 2 Mohali: On the concluding day of the Punjab govt's one-time settlement (OTS) scheme, the Zirakpur municipal council emerged as the top performer in property tax collection across Mohali district, amassing a total of Rs 12.2 crore. The OTS scheme, launched on July 1, offered property owners the opportunity to clear their outstanding dues by paying only the principal amount, with a complete waiver on interest and penalties if paid by July 31. The scheme witnessed a massive turnout, particularly on the final day, as the municipal council office saw an average footfall of 200 to 250 taxpayers daily. The enthusiastic public response helped push Zirakpur to the forefront, outpacing other municipal councils and corporations in the district. The council credited the achievement to effective planning and public outreach, which encouraged residents to take advantage of the scheme. "The public's response was extremely encouraging. We are thankful to the Punjab govt for launching the OTS scheme, which significantly boosted our revenue," said Jagjit Singh Judge, executive officer of the municipal council. He added that collections are expected to rise as last-day transactions are still being tallied. While celebrating the success, the council also issued a stern warning to defaulters. "Those who failed to avail themselves of this opportunity will now face legal action. We will begin identifying and taking steps against habitual tax evaders," Judge stated. The scheme's success is seen as a major financial boost for the council, enabling it to plan better infrastructure and civic services for the growing town.

23 state PSUs in MP report losses: CAG
Bhopal: Nearly half of Madhya Pradesh's public sector undertakings (PSUs) and corporations posted losses in 2023-24, according to the Comptroller and Auditor General of India's (CAG) report on state finances tabled in the assembly on Thursday. Out of the total 56, as per the report, 23 PSUs/corporations making loss are DMIC Pithampur Jal Prabandhan Ltd, MP plastic city development corporation Gwalior, MP industrial development corporation ltd, MP plastic park development corporation, Bhopal, MP hotel corporation, MP AMRL (Semaria) coal company ltd, MP AMRL (Morga) coal company ltd, MP AMRL Bicharpur coal company ltd, MP AMRL (Marki Barka) coal company ltd, MP Poorva Kshetra power distribution company, MP Madhya Kshetra power distribution company, MP Jal Nigam, MP building development corporation, the provident investment company ltd, MP venture fiancé trustee ltd, MP financial corporation, MP venture finance ltd, Gwalior smart city development corporation, Sagar smart city ltd, Indore smart city development ltd, MP urban development company ltd, Bhopal and Indore idea factory foundation. The report further stated Madhya Pradesh financial code provides that any loss of public money, caused by defalcation or otherwise, should be immediately reported to the accountant general, even when such loss has been made good by the party responsible for it. The state govt reported 3,157 cases of misappropriation, losses, thefts etc involving Rs 40.02 crore up to March 31, 2024. The report on debt-to-GSDP ratio stated "the stability of the debt is primarily measured through the debt-to-GSDP ratio". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pierce Brosnan's Wife Lost 120 Pounds - This Is Her Now Undo The ratio increased by 0.85 per cent from 28.32 in 2022-23 to 29.17 in 2023-24. Overall, the debt-to-GSDP ratio increased by 4.32 per cent during 2019-24. However, it remained within the ceiling limit. In its recommendations, the report stated the state govt may initiate measures for planning the budget exercise in a more rational manner in order to ensure that the persistent gap between budget estimates and actuals is bridged. The state govt should review the working of state PSUs which are incurring huge losses and work out their revival strategy. The state govt may consider need-based borrowings and utilising the existing cash balances before resorting to fresh borrowing. Report pointed to violation of MP treasury code. It stated: "Madhya Pradesh Treasury Code 2020 Subsidiary rule 153(1) provides that no amount shall be withdrawn from the treasury unless it is required to be distributed immediately; it is a serious irregularity to withdraw advances from the treasury in anticipation of demand or to prevent the lapse of budget grants and the responsible person of such withdrawal will himself be subject to disciplinary proceedings. " "In the scrutiny of records, we observed that out of the Rs 8 crore allocated under scheme 9585 - 'State Haemoglobinopathy Mission', Rs 7.32 crore was withdrawn in Dec 2023 and March 2024 by the State Health Society-NHM and deposited into its bank account. This amount remained unspent in the bank account until August 2024. This shows that funds were withdrawn from the treasury without immediate requirement, which constitutes a violation of the Madhya Pradesh Treasury Code," the report stated.
