Stock market today:
Nifty50
and
BSE Sensex
, the Indian equity benchmark indices, opened in green on Monday. While Nifty50 went above 25,100, BSE Sensex was up over 400 points. At 9:18 AM, Nifty50 was trading at 25,128.20, up 125 points or 0.50%.
BSE Sensex was at 82,577.77, up 389 points or 0.47%.
Looking ahead, investors will concentrate on crucial macroeconomic indicators for direction. The advancement of monsoon and agricultural sowing patterns remain under observation, considering their effect on rural spending.
VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited says, 'The monetary bazooka fired by the RBI on Friday will keep the market spirits alive in the near-term.
But this is not sufficient to sustain the rally triggered on Friday. More important is the trend in earnings growth. Q4 results indicate better earnings growth for midcaps. But large and small caps continue to struggle.'
'FY 26 earnings are unlikely to reach mid teens, which is necessary for the market to remain resilient and move up. Market needs signs of revenue and earnings acceleration to move up. In the absence of such indicators the present Nifty range is likely to move up marginally to 24500 -25500. Ample liquidity can support the downside but earnings concerns will cap the upside. Weak US and Chinese macro data is favourable for emerging markets like India"
US stocks recorded substantial gains on Friday, with Treasury yields increasing as positive employment data and Tesla's recovery helped achieve weekly gains.

Starlink Price In India: Elon Musk May Launch Satcom Plans At Rs 3,000-4,200 Per Month, Says Report
Last Updated: Elon Musk's Starlink might commence operations in India within the next two months after receiving its licence last week. Even as Elon Musk-owned Starlink has received a licence for satellite communication (satcom) services in India, speculations are rife about its prices in the country. According to the latest report by Business Standard citing sources, Starlink is expected to launch its services at monthly subscription charges between Rs 3,000 and Rs 4,200. Its kit, which includes a satellite dish and a Wi-Fi router, is also likely to be at about Rs 33,000. This is in contrast with the recent reports that indicated that Starlink is expected to debut in India with promotional unlimited data plans priced below $10 per month – nearly Rs 850. Earlier estimates had suggested Rs 3,000-Rs 7,000 per month. These are the speculations, and the exact official prices are yet to be known. According to the BS report, Starlink has so far prices its services at two-three times of traditional telcos in both high-income countries like the US and developing markets like Kenya or Nigeria. 'The company doesn't have much gain by dropping the price to attract more customers as internet capacity from satellite will remain capped," the report said citing people in the know. High-Speed Internet for Remote India Starlink operates a constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites positioned just 550 km above the Earth – significantly closer than traditional geostationary satellites – enabling faster, low-latency internet access. The system has already been deployed in over 70 countries and aims to expand to the most remote and disaster-prone regions globally. SpaceX has already deployed approximately 7,000 LEO satellites globally and aims to increase this to over 40,000, enabling internet access even in the most remote and challenging terrains – from conflict zones to disaster-stricken areas. When Will Starlink Satellite Communication Services Start in India? Elon Musk-owned Starlink has received a licence for satellite communication (satcom) services in India. It comes after the government last month had issued a letter of intent (LoI) to the entity. Before launching its services, Starlink still needs approval from the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) and must be allocated spectrum by the government. According to a PTI report, Starlink will be granted trial spectrum within about two weeks. According to an ANI report citing sources, Starlink is preparing to commence operations in India within the next two months after receiving its licence last week. Starlink's hardware will be available at retail outlets of telecom operators Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio. In April, Starlink signed pacts with Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, which together control more than 70 per cent of the country's telecom market, to bring the US satellite internet giant's services to India. Starlink has become the third company to secure a satcom licence from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), after Eutelsat's OneWeb and Reliance Jio.

Maldives Names Katrina Kaif Global Tourism Ambassador Amid Renewed Ties With India
Last Updated: The timing of the announcement is also crucial as it comes just ahead of the anticipated visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the Maldives Maldives has appointed Bollywood superstar Katrina Kaif as its new Global Tourism Ambassador in a significant move aimed at enhancing its tourism appeal. The announcement was made on Tuesday by the Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC), which expressed its excitement about the collaboration with one of the most recognisable faces in the Indian film industry. 'Having Katrina Kaif as our Global Brand Ambassador is a moment of great pride for us," said Thoyyib Mohamed, managing director of MMPRC. 'Her popularity, combined with her influence in the global entertainment industry, will undoubtedly help us attract more visitors from across the world, especially from India." Visit Maldives Unveils Katrina Kaif as Global Brand Ambassador for the Sunny Side of Life. — Visit Maldives (@visitmaldives) June 10, 2025 Speaking about her new role as the Sunny Side of Life's Global Brand Ambassador, Kaif said: 'The Maldives represents the pinnacle of luxury and natural beauty—a place where elegance meets tranquillity. I'm honoured to be chosen as the face of the Sunny Side of Life. This collaboration is about bringing the finest travel experiences to global audiences, and I'm excited to help people around the world discover the unique charm and world-class offerings of this extraordinary destination." Kaif's appointment comes at a pivotal time as the Indian subcontinent remains a key source of tourists for the island nation. The Maldives, known for its crystal-clear waters, luxury resorts, and serene beaches, has long been a favoured destination for Indian travellers and Kaif, with her massive fan base across India and globally, is expected to play a key role in further boosting the Maldives' tourism profile. The situation worsened last year when PM Modi posted a series of photos on social media, showing him snorkelling, strolling on a white-sand beach and lounging in a chair next to turquoise waters in Lakshadweep. As he praised the pristine lesser-known and remote Indian archipelago that the government believes has untapped potential for tourism, his photos stirred a storm in Maldives as some saw the tourism campaign as an attempt to draw visitors away from their country. Three senior Maldives officials reacted to PM Modi's post by calling him names, while many other Maldivians insulted Indian tourists on social media. This led to retaliation by Indian tourists who cancelled their holidays to the Maldives, hitting Male where it hurt the most. Finally, as Muizzu visited India in October, the two nations seemed to finally be resetting their ties. India has extended a $50 million treasury‐bill rollover interest‑free to support Maldives' fiscal reforms and help address its debt pressures, re‑affirming its 'Neighbourhood First" policy.

Piyush Goyal rolls out red carpet for Swiss firms to invest in India
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has invited Swiss companies to expand their footprint in India and take advantage of the country's dynamic and rapidly growing market. The minister held a meeting in Bern with the leadership from several premier Swiss companies across diverse sectors and urged them to see India as a strategic hub for manufacturing, talent, and innovation. The discussions focussed on enhancing synergies between Indian and Swiss enterprises, with a special emphasis on innovation, technology transfer, and sustainable manufacturing, according to an official statement issued on Tuesday. Goyal assured the business leaders of India's unwavering commitment to fostering a conducive business environment through transparent regulatory processes, a robust Intellectual Property regime, and pro-investment policy frameworks. Following these strategic discussions, the Minister chaired two focussed roundtables with sectoral leaders from the Swiss industry —covering biotech and pharma, healthcare, and precision engineering, Defence, and Emerging Technologies. These sessions, hosted with the support of the Indian Embassy in Switzerland, highlighted India's scale, affordability, and rising innovation ecosystem. The Minister called on Swiss businesses to leverage the dedicated EFTA Desk at Invest India for handholding and facilitation support. He reiterated India's willingness to work towards regulatory harmonisation and mutual recognition agreements, highlighting India's proactive stance on building reciprocal bridges to encourage Swiss and Indian investments. In addition to industry interactions, the Minister also met with members of the Switzerland Chapter of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). He lauded the chapter for their contributions and for upholding the high standards and global reputation of the ICAI, while strengthening the India–Switzerland professional and business ecosystem. Swiss industry leaders across a diverse range of sectors — including biotechnology, precision manufacturing, healthcare, automation, Defence, cybersecurity, and advanced materials — expressed strong confidence in India's trajectory as a global economic powerhouse and an innovation-led growth destination, the statement said. Companies commended India's unique strengths: A vast and dynamic market, growing middle class, world-class engineering and scientific talent, and a policy environment that actively promotes ease of doing business, IP protection, and technology partnerships. For many, India is not only a promising market but also an ideal base for manufacturing, R&D, and co-creation of globally competitive solutions. Several firms indicated active interest in forming joint ventures, scaling operations, and localising production to serve both Indian and international markets. From cutting-edge cancer therapies and cell sciences to industrial automation, fibre optics, space technologies, and digital security, Swiss companies underscored their alignment with India's developmental priorities and sectoral growth plans. The sentiment was one of strategic alignment and long-term commitment. Many participants described India as a natural partner and conveyed readiness to invest in its next phase of growth, not only to tap into domestic demand but to position India as a hub in their global value chains, the statement added.
