Bad news for Ratan Tata's TCS after massive layoffs, IT giant loses Rs 5.66 lakh crore due to..., worst phase for company since...
TCS is undergoing its worst crisis since the 2008 recession. (File) TCS market cap: Amidst the backdrop of the controversy surrounding its decision to cut more than 12,000 jobs in the current fiscal year, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India's largest IT services exporter, has witnessed a rout of its market cap, which slumped from Rs 16.57 lakh crore to Rs 10.93 lakh crore, a decrease of Rs 5.66 lakh crore. According to market analysts, TCS, the flagship company of the Tata Group, is going through it worst crisis since the 2008 recession, when it shares had fallen by 55 percent. TCS share prices have dipped 25 percent in 2025, and experts predict the current financial could be the worst in company's history if the downfall continues. Why TCS shares are falling? According to analysts, India's stock market has witnessed a turmoil over the past few months as foreign investors are withdrawing from the market in droves amid US President Donald Trump unleashing tariff war against India, and recently announcing 50% import duty on Indian exports. The IT industry, once considered a favorite for FIIs, is now witnessing a decline, with foreign investors reducing their stake in TCS from 12.35% in June 2024 to 11.48% in June 2025, which has resulted in the company's shares falling by over 25 percent in the current financial year. The Nifty IT index has fallen 25% so far this year, making it the worst-performing sector in the market as over half of the Rs 95,600 crore withdrawn from India by FIIs till July 2025 has come from IT stocks alone. Why mutual funds investment increased? Meanwhile, domestic mutual funds have raised their stake in TCS from 4.25% to 5.13%, making fresh purchases worth Rs 400 crore in the company, according to data. TCS' trailing PE declined from 41x to 20x, five-year CAGR stands at 8.5%, while stock CAGR is 6%, the data showed. Notably, India's IT sector has grown at a compounded annual rate of 12.5% over the last two decades, but has underperformed the Nifty over the last three to five years. TCS layoffs According to recent media reports, TCS is mulling to cut about 2 percent of its global workforce, which would result in over 12,000 TCS workers losing their jobs in the current financial year. The company's decision is being investigated, with Jefferies warning that TCS layoffs could result in a slowdown in execution in the near term and an increase in the workforce in the long term.

India's smart meter plan hit by infrastructure, awareness hurdles, says CII survey
New Delhi: India's adoption of smart meters for electricity consumption has been sluggish, prompting calls for clearer rules and better consumer engagement, a survey by the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) shows. As on 15 July, only 2.41 crore units had been installed across the country of the 20.33 crore sanctioned under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS), according to power ministry data. The CII's recent survey shows outdated utility infrastructure, unreliable connectivity, and low consumer awareness were the biggest hurdles to smart metering. While 80% of respondents cited consumer engagement as the key barrier, most also agreed that clear regulatory directives, better billing transparency, grievance redressal, and robust cybersecurity will be critical for success. Smart meters provide real-time analytics on consumer behaviour and enable plugging of leakages and theft. They also do away with the inefficiencies in manual data collection, and help reduce revenue losses for distribution companies. The CII survey's findings are based on the responses received from a poll conducted over the last two months among the participants of 3rd CII Smart Meter Conference. The poll explores various aspects of smart meter projects, infrastructure, challenges, consumer awareness, security, and potential improvements. Commenting on the survey outcomes , Suket Singhal, group chief executive officer, Secure Meters, who also led CII Taskforce on Smart Metering in FY25, said: 'The most significant outcome of this poll was the need to improve consumer engagement. By ensuring that the experience of prepayment in electricity equals or is better than mobile telephony or DTH (direct to home service), we as an industry will be able to deliver on its promise to customers.' Once consumers are adequately trained, they will remain engaged, and at the level of grassroots politics, Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) will become acceptable, Singhal added. Most people who participated in the survey said the current state of smart metering infrastructure was average, 41% respondents had a positive view. The key challenges identified include outdated utility infrastructure leading to interoperability and data management issues, unreliable connectivity in remote areas, regulatory hurdles, slow and cumbersome procurement process, and low levels of awareness about billing and privacy concerns, necessitating focused outreach and awareness efforts. 'What consumers are asking for is a better experience, which can be provided by ensuring everyone gets to pay what they can, when they can,' Singhal said. The need to fully de-risk cyber vulnerabilities was identified as a key pillar to providing confidence to stakeholders. All systems must be designed with security in mind and must have adequate processes to ensure that security and data privacy remain robust, he added. Nearly 57% respondents noted that the most common challenge faced in implementing smart meters was the difficulty in aligning them with outdated utility infrastructure, leading to interoperability and data management issues. The second biggest challenge was unreliable connectivity, especially in remote areas which hampers real-time data transmission, affecting overall system efficiency, said 53% of the respondents. About 48% of them noted a significant barrier driven by low awareness, misconceptions about billing, and privacy concerns. Complex and fragmented regulatory frameworks that led to delays in project approvals and implementation and slow cumbersome procurement processes, were seen as a concern by 20% of the respondents. The analysis revealed that the primary challenges to smart metering revolved around technical integration, data communication, and consumer acceptance. The frequency of each challenge indicates its relative importance and prevalence, said the CII report. Integration with legacy systems and data communication issues are the most pressing concerns, suggesting a need for better planning and infrastructure. Addressing these challenges requires a multi-faceted approach, including robust technical solutions for integration and communication, public awareness campaigns to address consumer resistance, and streamlined regulatory processes to avoid delays, it said. About 80% of respondents believe that consumer awareness is a significant barrier to smart meter adoption, while 63% consider the system either secure or very secure, indicating a generally positive perception of cybersecurity readiness. The report noted that this optimism suggests growing confidence in the technological safeguards in place, such as encryption protocols, secure data handling practices, and access controls. Around 25% rated the ecosystem as 'not secure', pointing to ongoing concerns about data breaches, unauthorized access, or lack of comprehensive cyber standards. These concerns may be rooted in inconsistent implementation across utilities or limited visibility into backend systems, the report said. An earlier report by Mint said the government was set to extend the RDSS scheme by two years beyond March 2026, as the progress had been tardy. Earlier this year, Parliament's standing committee on energy had raised concern over the under-achievement of the RDSS scheme, and the resultant increase in losses suffered by power distribution companies. In its report on demands for grants for the power ministry, the panel said of the total of ₹ 30,065 crore allocated for RDSS during the first four years of the scheme (FY22 to FY25), about ₹ 25,664 crore had been utilized as of 10 February.

INDIA bloc leaders likely to discuss joint Vice-Presidential candidate on Monday
The opposition INDIA bloc leaders are likely to discuss their joint candidate for the post of vice-president at a meeting of floor leaders on Monday morning. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency Sources said the INDIA bloc leaders would meet at the office of Mallikarjun Kharge, the leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha, at 10.15 am on Monday. The meeting will be held a day after the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) announced Maharashtra Governor C P Radhakrishnan as its nominee for the post of vice-president, the second-highest constitution position in the country. Radhakrishnan hails from Tamil Nadu, which will go to polls in 2026. While the ruling BJP feels that the nomination of Radhakrishnan, a seasoned BJP leader with an RSS background, will elicit support from the wider opposition, especially the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu, it remains to be seen what stand the opposition parties take on Monday. Live Events BJP president J P Nadda, while announcing the nomination of Radhakrishnan after a meeting of the party's parliamentary board on Sunday, said the NDA will speak to the opposition parties to reach a consensus for the vice-presidential election. The Congress-led INDIA bloc partners earlier announced their decision to field a joint 'non-political' candidate for the election. The vice-presidential election, necessitated by the sudden resignation of incumbent Jagdeep Dhankhar last month, is scheduled for September 9. The last date for filing nomination is August 21.
