Apcob celebrates 62nd Foundation Day
Vijayawada: The Andhra Pradesh State Cooperative Bank (Apcob) is a vital institution for the state's rural economy, said Minister for Agriculture, Cooperation, and Marketing, Kinjarapu Atchannaidu. He was speaking at the bank's 62nd Foundation Day celebrations held at the MB Vijnana Kendram here on Monday. The minister extended his greetings to farmers, women's federations, youth, cooperative society members, and bank officials. He highlighted APCOB's crucial role in providing timely loans for seeds, fertilizers, and other agricultural needs, thereby supporting the state's farmers. 'The government is fully committed to strengthening the cooperative structure to financially empower every farming household,' he stated. He assured that with technology, cooperative bank services would become more accessible and citizen-friendly. He praised institutions like DCCBs (District Cooperative Central Banks), PACS (Primary Agricultural Credit Societies), and APCOB for serving rural areas that commercial banks often neglect. Minister Atchannaidu noted APCOB's significant role in supporting underprivileged communities. He recalled that before 2014, there was no separate ministry for the cooperative sector at the central level. However, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a dedicated ministry was established, giving the sector national priority. The minister said that in Andhra Pradesh, agriculture and cooperatives are two crucial sectors, and economic support is key to their growth. He noted that APCOB has expanded its services beyond just loans to include providing agricultural inputs, and even running medical stores and petrol stations, which contribute significantly to rural economic infrastructure. The minister also highlighted the success of the DWCRA model, which was introduced under Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's leadership and has now become a national example. He said nearly one crore women are engaged in cooperative transactions worth Rs 42,000 crore. However, most of these transactions are currently handled by private banks. The minister assured that plans will be developed to route these transactions through Apcob and its affiliates, which would offer lower interest rates than private banks. He concluded by urging all stakeholders to work together to advance the cooperative sector and expressed hope that Apcob would achieve greater heights in the future. Apcob chairman G Veeranjaneyulu, Special Chief Secretary B. Rajasekhar, RCS Amar Babu, Apcob MD Srinath Reddy, Nabard CGM Gopal, DCCB chairpersons, PACS leaders, and other dignitaries were present.

FPIs still drive stock prices despite holdings at decade-low levels
Despite foreign portfolio investors' (FPIs) holdings in Indian equities falling to a decade-low, they remain the most influential driver of stock prices. According to Prime Infobase, among seven key investor cohorts, companies that saw an increase in FPI holdings during the June 2025 quarter recorded the highest average gains—21.73 per cent. In contrast, stocks where FPIs reduced their stakes underperformed, with an average gain of just 16.9 per cent. Stocks that saw mutual funds (MFs) raise exposure posted average returns of 16.3 per cent, while those where they reduced their exposure edged higher by 17.2 per cent. Companies where Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) increased its holdings saw a more modest average rise of 9.4 per cent, while 88 stocks where LIC cut its stake rose 17.2 per cent. Market observers note that while FPIs' influence may be gradually waning amid surging domestic liquidity, they remain market movers and price-setters. In contrast, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) are largely viewed as price takers, contributing stability to the system. As of June 2025, FPIs' share in India's total market capitalisation dropped to 17.04 per cent—a 13-year low—from 17.22 per cent at the end of March 2025, even as net FPI inflows during the quarter stood at Rs 38,674 crore. Notable stocks that saw significant FPI inflows included Vishal Mega Mart (FPI holding up 582 basis points; share price up 28.5 per cent), South Indian Bank (FPI holdings up 562 bps; price up 33.5 per cent), and Paradeep Phosphates (FPI holdings up 680 bps; share price up 70 per cent). On the flip side, key stocks with the steepest decline in FPI holdings—such as Hi Tech Pipes (FPI cut 726 bps; stock down 1 per cent) and Balaxi Pharma (FPI cut 716 bps; stock down 22 per cent)—notably underperformed the market.
