Mahindra Scorpio-N Automatic gets more affordable: Z4 AT launched at 17.4 lakh
Mahindra & Mahindra has launched a new, more affordable automatic variant of the Scorpio-N. The six-speed
automatic gearbox
is now available with the Z4 trim, which is positioned one level above the entry-level Z2 variant, and is priced at ₹17.40 lakh for the petrol and ₹17.86 lakh for the diesel (both prices, ex-showroom). Previously, the automatic variants of this Mahindra SUV were introduced from the Z6 diesel trim, priced at Rs 18.91 lakh, and the Z8 Select petrol variant, which started at Rs 19.06 lakh.
In comparison, the newly launched Scorpio Z4 automatic versions come in at a lower price point—offering a cost advantage of Rs 1.05 lakh over the diesel Z6 and Rs 1.67 lakh compared to the petrol Z8 Select. Interested customers can book this new AT trim by visiting their nearest dealership, deliveries are expected to begin soon.
Talking about the engine, as mentioned before the Scorpio-N gets two engine options - a 2.0-litre, turbo-petrol engine that puts out 203hp and 370Nm via a 6-speed manual transmission. The same engine produces 10Nm of extra torque when paired to the 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. Another engine is the 2.2-litre, mHawk turbo diesel which puts out 132hp of power and 300Nm torque with both gearbox options. The Z4 trim comes with rear-wheel drive as standard, while those choosing the Z4 (E) diesel variant have the option to upgrade to a four-wheel drive setup, though it's only offered with a manual transmission. This 4WD version delivers an output of 175 hp and 370 Nm of torque.

Market Wrap: Why Indian stock market snapped 2-day losing streak; 5 factors behind 678-point Sensex rise, Nifty near 25,000
Indian benchmark indices ended in the green on Monday, supported by gains in IT and financial stocks, after two sessions of declines triggered by tensions between Israel and Iran. Investor sentiment improved as global markets showed signs of resilience and oil prices cooled from last week's spike. The BSE Sensex added 677.55 points, or 0.84%, to close at 81,796.15, while the NSE Nifty advanced 227.90 points, or 0.92%, to settle at 24,946.50. The market capitalisation of all listed companies on the BSE rose by Rs 2.30 lakh crore to Rs 450.39 lakh crore. The recovery was broad-based, with the IT index rising 1.6% and heavyweight financials gaining 0.8%, snapping a four-day losing streak. Index majors HDFC Bank and Reliance Industries climbed about 0.9% and 0.7%, respectively. Oil explorers ONGC and Oil India also edged higher by 2% and 0.5%, respectively, on the back of elevated crude prices. Despite fresh missile strikes between Israel and Iran over the weekend, global equities held steady, and Indian shares mirrored the optimism. Here are the factors supporting Monday's market gains: 1. Declining dollar supports emerging markets The U.S. dollar slipped further on Monday, with the dollar index down 0.1% at 98.1. The greenback has lost over 9% so far this year against a basket of six major currencies, weighed by concerns over delayed trade agreements and geopolitical risk. The weakening dollar has been a tailwind for emerging market equities, including India. Exporter-driven dollar sales also helped stabilise the rupee, which was little changed on the day. 'The uncertainty stemming from the Israel-Iran conflict has created a risk-off in global markets. The safe haven buying is keeping gold firm but dollar continues to be weak,' said Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services . 'Interestingly there is no panic in equity markets.' 2. Crude prices muted after initial surge Oil prices, which surged more than 7% on Friday following Israel's preemptive strike on Iranian military assets, moderated slightly on Monday. Brent crude slipped 73 cents to $73.50 per barrel, while U.S. benchmark crude settled at $72.25. The initial spike in oil came on fears that a wider conflict could choke the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil shipping route. However, easing market concerns helped cool prices, offering some relief to India, which imports nearly 85% of its crude needs. Even so, upstream oil companies gained, with ONGC and Oil India rising on expectations of better realisations. 'Markets will be severely impacted only if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz triggering a huge spike in crude. This appears to be a low probability event now,' Vijayakumar noted. 3. Global equity rally lifts sentiment Indian markets also drew strength from a positive global setup. European markets were mostly higher, with Germany's DAX up 0.2% and the FTSE 100 rising 0.3%. U.S. stock futures rebounded after an early dip, while Asian indices posted solid gains. Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 1.3%, South Korea's Kospi added 1.8%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng climbed 0.7%. Economic data from China showing stronger-than-expected retail sales in May further lifted regional risk appetite. Analysts said the absence of panic in global equity markets, despite Middle East tensions and looming central bank meetings, reflected a broader resilience among investors.

IPO-bound Waterways Leisure Tourism swings to Rs 120 crore loss in FY24, revenue slides
IPO-bound Cordelia Cruises operator Waterways Leisure Tourism has reported a sharp reversal in its financial performance for the financial year ended March 31, 2024 (FY24) as the company posted a net loss of Rs 119.9 crore, compared to a profit of Rs 55.3 crore in previous fiscal (FY23). The significant decline comes ahead of its planned Initial Public Offering (IPO) worth Rs 727 crore. According to its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) filed with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), revenue from operations dropped to Rs 442.1 crore in FY24 from Rs 481.9 crore in FY23 -- a decline of around 8.26 per cent. Total income also fell by approximately 7.41 per cent to Rs 450.2 crore during the same period. Expenses also surged by nearly 29 per cent, reaching Rs 555.6 crore in FY24 as compared to Rs 430.9 crore the year before. However, the Mumbai-based luxury cruise company delivered a strong performance for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. During this period, it reported a profit after tax of Rs 139.25 crore on revenue of Rs 409.45 crore. Total expenses for the nine-month period stood at Rs 351.9 crore. The company is now aiming to raise Rs 727 crore through a fresh issue of shares. There is no offer-for-sale (OFS) component in the IPO. The proceeds will be used primarily for lease payments to its subsidiary, Baycruise Shipping and Leasing (IFSC) Private Limited and for general corporate purposes. The IPO will be conducted through a book-building process, with 75 per cent of the shares reserved for qualified institutional buyers, 15 per cent for non-institutional investors and 10 per cent for retail investors. Centrum Capital Limited, Intensive Fiscal Services Private Limited and Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors Limited are acting as the book-running lead managers, while MUFG Intime India Private Limited is the registrar. The shares are proposed to be listed on both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), as per its DRHP.
