Investment Rationale
ONGC?s Q4FY25 saw adjusted EBITDA/PAT (standalone) of Rs 181 billion/Rs 64.5 billion (9%/-35% YoY) with 7% revenue growth YoY. However, this was offset by sharply higher exploration write-offs, denting net earnings. Consol. EBITDA/PAT stood at Rs 263/Rs 73 billion (+10%/-35% YoY). FY25 EBITDA/PAT (standalone) of INR 724/INR 356bn, rose 4.6%/fell 10% YoY. Oil & gas output for Q4/FY25 slipped 1.8%/1.7% YoY to 10.3mt/41.1mt. Management guidance remains bullish for oil & gas output with ~15?18mmscmd gas production growth and ~20kb/d of oil production growth over FY26?28. Realisations trends, however, are bearish; our revised estimate is $67?70/bbl for FY26?27, driving EPS downgrades of 18.1%/15.5% for FY26E/FY27E (FY28E of Rs 51.4/share introduced). Target price was revised to Rs 350 (earlier Rs 365). The brokerage has retained a BUY rating.

When half your paycheque becomes the EMI: A Rs 50 lakh package can buy a flat, but can it buy peace of mind?
Synopsis On paper, a Rs 50 lakh annual salary may seem enough for a Rs 1.5 crore flat. In practice, the numbers don't stretch that far. Wealth advisor Alok Tiwari's calculations show that nearly half of the take-home pay would go into monthly instalments, leaving little for daily living costs. Financial guidelines and housing affordability data back his warning. While banks may be willing to lend, the risk of being overextended is real. TIL Creatives Representative AI Image A Rs 1.5 crore home loan at an interest rate of about 8.5% over 20 years means an EMI between Rs 1.2 and Rs 1.3 lakh each month. Alok Tiwari, a wealth advisor, broke down the problem in plain numbers.'EMI for 1.5Cr will be 1.2L pm. A 50L CTC makes 2.75L pm. Deduct rents, school fees, insurance, school bus, petrol, car cost, misc, groceries, utilities, vacation etc. Now from the leftover savings divide with 1.5cr,' Tiwari wrote on concern is clear. A Rs 50 lakh annual package translates to about Rs 2.75 lakh a month in hand. Almost half of that vanishes into the loan repayment, before accounting for the many other unavoidable costs of family such a loan might pass bank scrutiny. The Reserve Bank of India allows lenders to extend loans up to half of a borrower's income. But most advisors, and many banks themselves, caution against stretching beyond 40% of take-home pay for housing this case, 40% of Rs 2.75 lakh works out to roughly Rs 1.1 lakh. The EMI required is closer to Rs 1.29 lakh, already breaching that threshold. That gap signals stress, not comfort. The affordability question is not new. Knight Frank's 2025 report on housing shows that, on average, Indian buyers commit 28% of their income to EMIs. But the picture changes dramatically across cities. In Mumbai, the ratio climbs to 48%, a level already seen as risky. In contrast, Ahmedabad and Kolkata remain more affordable, with EMIs consuming 18% to 23% of commitments inch close to half of what a household earns, it squeezes everything else. School fees, groceries, fuel, insurance, travel, and even small savings start to feel post touched a nerve because it describes a common dilemma. Salaries in many urban sectors have risen, and home loans have become accessible. Yet the real question is not whether a bank will say yes, but whether the borrower can live comfortably afterwards.A Rs 50 lakh salary, under present benchmarks, does not comfortably support a Rs 1.5 crore home. The risk is not just of repaying the bank, but of sacrificing financial flexibility. Buyers may end up house-rich but cash-poor.

'When we started, the general disbelief people said was that how can anyone buy jewellery online? Jewellery requires a lot of trust and why would people buy from Bluestone? This is never going to work out. But we thought to ourselves, why does it have to be like that? Why can't jewellery be reimagined, why can't trust be built digitally and deepened physically,' Kushwaha said during his speech at the listing Rs 1540 crore public issue, comprising a fresh issue of Rs 820 crore and the remainder through an offer for sale by existing investors drew strong interest from institutional investors, while retail participation remained moderate. The non-institutional portion was subscribed just 55%, bringing overall subscription to 2.7 revenue growth, Bluestone's losses widened in FY25, driven by faster expense growth due to offline expansion and higher advertising spends. The company reported a net loss of Rs 222 crore in FY25, up from Rs 142 crore in FY24, while operating revenue rose 40% to Rs 1,770 crore.

IvyCap Ventures, which had earlier planned to sell 3.1 million shares, did not the Rs 820 crore fresh issue, Rs 750 crore has been earmarked for working capital requirements, with the remainder allocated to general corporate purposes.'In the mid-2010s, India lacked true mid-stage capital for vertical commerce. BlueStone stayed frugal and focused, steadily broadening its catalogue, deepening manufacturing capabilities, and sharpening unit economics. The company moved through challenges with consistency, learning and building in every cycle. That discipline made today possible,' Prashanth Prakash, partner, Accel wrote in a blog post on Tuesday.
