Tractor industry performance The tractor industry has been witnessing good momentum on account of favorable weather conditions, good reservoir levels, strong Rabi outlook and positive terms of trade for farmers. The harvest season has commenced in the northern regions and is expected to progress smoothly across the country.

Outlook of Domestic Farm Equipment Industry According to media reports based on a Crisil Ratings note, India's domestic tractor sales are projected to reach a record 975,000 units in financial year 2025-26 (FY26), growing at 3-5 per cent year-on-year (YoY), driven by higher minimum support prices for key cash crops, robust replacement and construction demand, and optimism over an above-normal monsoon.
The industry is entering a ₹4,000-crore capex cycle as capacity utilisation nears 75-80 per cent, with manufacturers preparing for the stricter TREM V emission norms effective April 2026, which are expected to increase tractor prices by 10-20 per cent depending on engine capacity and may spur pre-buying before the new rules take effect.

Brokerage views – ICICI Securities, Motilal Oswal Financial Services
Despite the changes for TREM V emission norms (implementation date still uncertain), tractor makers are well-positioned with stable operating margins of 13-13.5 per cent, low debt, and strong liquidity, enabling them to invest in capacity expansion and cleaner technologies. According to ICICI Securities, overall, the projected growth is sentimentally positive for M&M given its industry leadership in domestic tractor space (market share: ~44 per cent). Key monitorable would be the industry players' commentary and associated volume growth guidance during Q4FY25 conference calls, the brokerage firm said in a note.
The brokerage firm expects M&M to continue its strong performance led by its robust Utility Vehicle (UV) portfolio, market share gains in both Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) and tractors, improving margin trajectory, and better outlook in Farm Equipment Sector (FES). Analysts have a 'buy' rating on M&M with a target price of ₹ 3,220 per share.
Motilal Oswal Financial Services believes M&M is well placed to outperform across its core businesses, driven by a healthy recovery in rural and new product launches in both UVs and tractors. While M&M has outperformed its own targets of earnings growth and RoE of 18 per cent in FY24, it remains committed to delivering 15-20 per cent EPS growth and 18 per cent ROE, ensuring sustained profitability and shareholder value, the brokerage firm had said in Q3 result update.

Buy or sell: Ganesh Dongre of Anand Rathi recommends three stocks to buy on Monday — 9 June 2025
Buy or Sell: The Indian benchmark indices snapped a two-week losing streak, posting nearly a 1% gain for the week ended June 6, buoyed by a dual boost from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The central bank delivered a surprise 50 bps cut in the repo rate along with a 100-bps reduction in the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), significantly improving market sentiment. For the week, the BSE Sensex added 737.98 points or 0.9%, closing at 82,188.99, while the Nifty 50 surged 252.35 points to end at 25,003.05. A key driver of this rally was India's robust GDP growth of 7.4% in the January–March quarter of FY 2024–25, beating market expectations and marking the highest quarterly expansion in the past year. Globally, equity markets remained buoyant, supported by signs of easing inflation, which further bolstered investor sentiment in domestic markets. Sectorally, the Realty index led the gains with a nearly 10% surge, while Metal and PSU Bank indices rose around 2% each, reflecting strong broad-based participation. Technically, Nifty continues to consolidate within a well-defined range of 24,500 - 25,200, holding this zone for the past two weeks. The index gained momentum post the RBI announcements and touched the upper band of this range at 25,200, which also coincides with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the recent down move. The previous resistance near 25,200 - 25300 is important level to watch for the next week closing, A sustained close above this level would be significant, potentially opening the door for an upside move toward 25,600 - 26,000 marks, Conversely, a break below 24,500 could indicate a short-term pause or mild correction, especially amidst lingering global uncertainties. The Bank Nifty index reacted sharply to the CRR cut, rallying nearly 800 points intraday and closing the week at a strong 56,500. The index now faces immediate resistance at the 57,000 marks, while key support is placed around 55,000. A decisive move above 57,000 could pave the way for a fresh uptrend toward 58,500, while any dip toward 55,000 is expected to attract buying interest. On a broader time frame, both Nifty and Bank Nifty have ended the week above their respective monthly support levels 23,800 for Nifty and 53,000 for Bank Nifty—signaling sustained bullish sentiment. Long-term structural supports remain at 21,700 for Nifty and 51,500 for Bank Nifty, serving as critical benchmarks for initiating fresh long positions. Traders are advised to keep a close watch on resistance levels at 25,300 (Nifty) and 57,000 (Bank Nifty), while staying vigilant of global developments and geopolitical factors that may sway market direction in the near term. 1. Bharat Forge Ltd (BHARATFORG): Buy at ₹ 1,280 - 1,300; Target Price at ₹ 1,360; Stop Loss at ₹ 1,230. 2.

A stock market investor and social media user named Sourav Dutta, in his platform X post on Saturday, 7 June 2025, shared a story of a Reddit man, who inherited JSW Steel shares, which are currently worth nearly ₹ 80 crore. In the post, Sourav Dutta cited a Reddit man who allegedly inherited JSW Steel shares from his father. The father reportedly purchased the stocks in 1990 for ₹ 1 lakh. Dutta said that now, as of the current market value, those shares are worth nearly ₹ 80 crore. 'Guy on Reddit discovered JSW shares bought by his dad in the 1990s for ₹ 1L (lakh),' said Dutta in his post. 'Worth ₹ 80 Cr (crore) today,' he said. The market investors highlighted the importance of purchasing a share at the correct time, holding it for the long term, and eventually selling it for a massive profit. 'Power of buy right, sell after 30 yrs,' said Dutta in his post on X. People on the social media platform X also agreed with Sourav Dutta's stance on buying and holding shares for a longer period for higher gains, compared to a shorter profit-booking strategy. 'Don't be in a rush to sell good businesses. If fundamentals are intact, let time do the heavy lifting. This is not just investing, this is legacy creation,' said a platform X account named @marketanalogy. 'Power of buy and forget?!' questioned a platform X user named @dhanapal13, to which Dutta clarified that people should 'Buy and Track' instead. Another user named Anhad Arora said, 'People don't realise how stock splits, bonuses and dividends add up overtime, it's magical.' JSW Steel shares closed 3.70 per cent higher at ₹ 1,004.50 after Friday's stock market session, compared to ₹ 968.65 at the previous market close. Since their listing in the Indian stock market in 1996, the Iron and Steel manufacturers' shares have given stock market investors a total of 4,865 per cent returns on their investment. The shares were trading under ₹ 20 apiece after their listing on the BSE in 1996. JSW Steel shares have given investors more than 430 per cent returns in the last five years and 9.70 per cent in the last one-year period. On a year-to-date (YTD) basis, the shares have gained over 10 per cent in 2025, and are trading 2.56 per cent higher in the last five stock market sessions. The stock hit its 52-week high level at ₹ 1,074.15 on 25 March 2025, while the 52-week low level was at ₹ 854.35 on 5 August 2024, according to BSE data. The company's market capitalisation is at over ₹ 2.45 lakh crore as of the stock market close on Friday, 6 June 2025. Disclaimer: This story is for educational purposes only.

Infosys gets huge relief on GST as DGGI closes Rs 32,400 cr pre-show cause notice
Mid-last year, the goods and services tax (GST) authorities had slapped Rs 32,403 crore notice on Infosys for services availed by the company from its overseas branches for five years starting 2017. New Delhi, Jun 7 (PTI) In a major relief for Infosys, the Director General of GST Intelligence has closed pre-show cause notice proceedings against the company for financial years 2018-19 to 2021-22 involving a staggering Rs 32,403 crore in GST dues. The GST demand, in fact, exceeds Infosys's annual profits (net profit for full FY25 stood at Rs 26,713 crore), and its closure now is bound to come as a significant relief for the tech major. The Bengaluru-headquartered company, in a BSE filing, said with the receipt of the latest communication from DGGI 'this matter stands closed'. 'In continuation to our earlier communications on July 31, 2024, August 1, 2024 and August 3,2024 on GST, this is to inform that the company has today received a communication from the Director General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) closing the pre-show cause notice proceedings for the financial years 2018-19 to 2021-22,' the company said in the filing late Friday evening. Infosys — which competes with the likes of TCS, Wipro and others for global IT contracts — said it had received and responded to a pre-show cause notice issued by DGGI for the period July 2017 to March 2022 on the issue of non-payment of IGST under Reverse Charge Mechanism. 'The GST amount as per the pre-show cause notice for this period was Rs 32,403 crore. The company had on August 3, 2024 received a communication from DGGI closing the pre-show cause notice proceedings for the financial year 2017-2018. With the receipt of today's communication from DGGI, this matter stands closed,' Infosys said. In July last year, Infosys had informed that Karnataka State GST authorities issued a pre-show cause notice for payment of GST of Rs 32,403 crores for the period July 2017 to March 2022 towards the expenses incurred by overseas branch offices of Infosys Ltd, and added that the company has responded to the pre-show cause notice. 'The company has also received a pre-show cause notice from Director General of GST Intelligence on the same matter and the company is in the process of responding to the same,' the filing of July 2024 had said. All along, Infosys maintained that GST is not applicable on these expenses. 'Additionally, as per a recent circular issued by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs on the recommendations of the GST Council, services provided by the overseas branches to Indian entity are not subject to GST,' Infosys had argued back in July 2024. The tech firm had asserted GST payments are eligible for credit or refund against export of IT services. 'Infosys has paid all its GST dues and is fully in compliance with the central and state regulations on this matter,' the company had contended. The document sent to Infosys by GST authorities at that point had reportedly said, 'In lieu of receipt of supplies from overseas branch offices, the company has paid consideration to the branch offices in the form of overseas branch expense. Hence, M/s Infosys Ltd, Bengaluru is liable to pay IGST under reverse charge mechanism on supplies received from branches located outside India to the tune of Rs 32,403.46 crores for the period 2017-18 (July 2017 onwards) to 2021-22.' The Directorate General of GST Intelligence in Bengaluru had been of the opinion that Infosys did not pay the Integrated-GST (IGST) on the import of services as a recipient of services. For the just-ended March quarter, Infosys reported an 11.7 per cent decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 7,033 crore mainly on account of compensation to employees, and acquisitions during the reported period. The company has guided for a revenue growth of 0-3 per cent in constant currency terms in the current fiscal year, citing uncertainty in the environment. For the full FY25, profits saw a marginal increase of 1.8 per cent to Rs 26,713 crore; revenues climbed 6.06 per cent to reach Rs 1,62,990 crore — exceeding its guidance of 4.5-5 per cent for the full FY25.
