Benchmark Indices close flat in a volatile session
Mumbai: Benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty closed almost unchanged in a volatile trade on Tuesday as gains in quick commerce and private banking shares were offset by losses in oil & gas and IT shares. The 30-share BSE Sensex ended 13.53 points or 0.02 per cent down at 82,186.81. During the morning trade, it climbed 337.83 points or 0.41 per cent to 82,538.17 but lost momentum later. The 50-share NSE Nifty dipped 29.80 points or 0.12 per cent to settle at 25,060.90. Lack of clarity over the US-India trade deal ahead of the August 1 deadline and profit booking by FIIs hit the market sentiment, experts said. Among Sensex firms, Eternal jumped the most by 10.56 per cent in a post-result rally. Food delivery and quick commerce firm Eternal, which owns the Zomato and Blinkit brands, on Monday reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 25 crore for the June quarter, as continuing investments in quick commerce and going-out businesses weighed on its bottom line. Titan rose by over 1 per cent while HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank extended gains after their quarterly results. Hindustan Unilever, Bharat Electronics, Maruti, ICICI Bank and Mahindra & Mahindra were also among the gainers. However, Tata Motors, Adani Ports, State Bank of India and Reliance Industries were among the laggards. 'The market's attention is on quarterly earnings, which slowed lately after some traction from banking stocks. Positivity noticed on Friday and Monday tapered ahead of the critical August 1st deadline of US trade agreement. 'Upside in Q1 earnings will be the critical point to sustain the current premium valuations. Continued profit-booking by FIIs exerts downward pressure, while steady inflows from DIIs could support for a range-bound movement with a positive bias towards Q1 results and trade deal,' Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said. The BSE midcap gauge declined 0.62 per cent and smallcap index dipped 0.17 per cent. Among BSE sectoral indices, realty dropped 1.01 per cent, followed by telecommunication (0.87 per cent), auto (0.78 per cent), IT (0.53 per cent) and teck (0.53 per cent). Consumer discretionary emerged as the only gainer. 'Markets remained range-bound and ended almost flat, indicating a pause amid mixed signals. The market continues to lack clear direction amid mixed earnings announcements and muted global cues,' Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said.

UPI, FTA, Rs 30-Billion Swap Line: India's Big Plans For PM Modi's Maldives Trip As Ties Reset
Last Updated: Describing the turnaround in ties, foreign secretary Vikram Misri on Tuesday termed it 'a question of working hard at a relationship' 'It's a question of working hard at a relationship," said foreign secretary Vikram Misri on Tuesday, describing the turnaround in relations with the Maldives since 2024, ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's two-day trip to the archipelagic country this week. New Delhi outlined several initiatives for the PM's trip, including an attempt to introduce UPI in the Maldives to boost tourism from India, a Rs 30-billion Indian swap line in progress, a free trade agreement under discussion, and a possible announcement regarding the MNDF (Maldives National Defence Force) building. This marks a significant change from 2024, when diplomatic relations had hit rock bottom. 'There will always be events that impact or try to intrude on the relationship. But this is testimony to the kind of attention paid to the relationship, including at the highest levels. We've continued to work at it, and the results are visible. We've also had close discussions with our partners in the Maldives to provide clarity and assurances about our bilateral intentions, and the results are evident," Misri said. The Maldives has been facing a stressful financial environment, and India is assisting it. 'Our recent assistance has improved the foreign exchange position of the Maldives, which has been cited by international financial organisations, including the IMF, as a positive factor that has helped the Maldives avoid difficult outcomes. My understanding is that the $400 million swap line has been almost completely utilised, and now the 30 billion rupee Indian swap line might also be drawn upon," Misri added. The foreign secretary mentioned that significant work has been done on the MNDF building project, and an announcement could be made soon. The Prime Minister's visit to the Maldives will be on July 25-26 at the invitation of President Mohamed Muizzu. Muizzu was on a state visit to India in October 2024 and had previously attended the swearing-in ceremony of the new Modi government. PM Modi will hold bilateral meetings with the Maldives President and inaugurate some infrastructure projects. The Prime Minister will be the guest of honour at the celebrations commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Maldives' independence on July 26, 2025. Coincidentally, 2025 also marks the 60th anniversary of India-Maldives diplomatic relations. This is Modi's first state visit hosted by President Muizzu since he took office in November 2023. The PM has visited the Maldives in 2018 and 2019. The Maldives is a crucial partner in India's Neighbourhood First policy and MAHASAGAR vision. Misri highlighted how India has always responded promptly to the Maldives' needs in times of crisis, whether natural or manmade. Last year, Modi and Muizzu adopted a joint vision for an India-Maldives comprehensive economic and maritime security partnership. 'This joint vision guides our relations, and this year, in just the first six months, we've seen nearly half a dozen ministerial-level visits from the Maldives," Misri said. India is one of the Maldives' largest trading partners, with bilateral trade nearing $500 million. 'Both countries are negotiating a free trade agreement and an investment treaty. New areas of cooperation, including renewable energy and fisheries, are also being explored," Misri said. The flagship project currently underway is the Greater Malé Connectivity Project, which could be a game changer for infrastructure in the Greater Malé region, connecting four islands. 'Other ongoing projects include roads, airports, and fisheries processing units. We are also alleviating pressure by helping with social housing based on the Maldives' needs and priorities," said the foreign secretary. Twin currency swap arrangements were made when President Muizzu visited India in 2024, amounting to 400 million US dollars and 30 billion Indian rupees. 'Additionally, the State Bank of India has continued to re-subscribe to Maldives treasury bills," Misri said.

DRI unearths fraud involving undervaluation in imports of luxury furniture; 3 held
The investigation has exposed a network involved in massive undervaluation and misdeclaration of branded luxury furniture operating across multiple jurisdictions, he said. Acting on specific intelligence, DRI officials conducted extensive searches across multiple locations, including business premises, warehouses, offices of freight forwarders, customs brokers and other associated entities, an official said. Mumbai, Jul 22 (PTI) The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has busted a fraud involving large-scale undervaluation and misdeclaration in the import of premium luxury furniture, and arrested three persons in Mumbai, officials said on Tuesday. It involved the use of dummy importers (importer exporter code holders), local intermediaries, overseas shell entities, and fabricated invoices and related documentation to systematically undervalue branded luxury furniture, he said. The investigation revealed that the beneficial owner, a well-known pan-India luxury furniture brand, was sourcing luxury furniture from reputed Italian and other European brands. However, invoicing was being done in the names of shell companies based in jurisdictions such as Dubai, while the goods were shipped directly from Europe to India, he said. In parallel, fabricated invoices were through a Singapore-based intermediary for falsely declaring the goods as unbranded furniture at significantly undervalued rates to Customs for clearance in the name of dummy importers, he said. Once cleared through Customs, the goods were transferred on paper to the intended beneficial owner via a local intermediary created for this purpose, while in reality the goods were directly sent to the beneficial owner or the customer at the direction of the beneficial owner of the whole scam, he said. As per the preliminary findings, a gross undervaluation of 70 per cent to 90 per cent of the actual transaction value, resulting in estimated customs duty evasion of approximately Rs 30 crore, he said. The beneficial owner, the importer, and the intermediary have been found in complicity and close conspiracy with each other for executing the whole modus operandi to evade a huge amount of customs duty, he said. DRI officials arrested three individuals on July 21 and 22 under provisions of the Customs Act, he said. PTI DC NP This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
