Mint2 days ago
Multibagger small-cap stock Asian Energy Services jumped over 17% in Monday's trading session after the company said it has been awarded an ₹ 865 crore Integrated Service Contract by metal and mining major Vedanta Limited.
The firm announced in its exchange filing that the contract will be carried out over 57 months. Kapil Garg, the Managing Director of Asian Energy Services Limited, expressed that they feel privileged to have secured the Integrated Service Contract for field development and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) from Vedanta, a valued and loyal client. This ongoing partnership demonstrates the trust established through reliable service and a commitment to operational excellence, Garg said.
'Integrated O&M continues to be a primary focus for Asian Energy Services and a significant driver of growth. The company's capacity to safely and effectively manage critical infrastructure solidifies its status as a preferred partner in the energy industry. This contract reinforces the confidence in our team's ability to deliver consistently in complex and demanding situations,' according to Kapil Garg.
Asian Energy Services provides comprehensive services that cover the full upstream value chain. The services offered by Asian Energy Services include Integrated Oil & Gas solutions, such as 2D and 3D Seismic Geographical Data Acquisition, management and upkeep of onshore and offshore oil and gas production facilities, production enhancement services, as well as mining solutions that consist of the supply and installation of Material Handling Plants and Rapid Loading Systems.
Asian Energy Services share price today opened at ₹ 309.10 apiece on the NSE; the stock touched an intraday high of ₹ 334.90 per share, and an intraday low of ₹ 297.60 apiece.
While the small-cap stock has seen some volatility in the short term, losing 1.5% in the past one year, it has emerged as a multibagger bet in the long term. The stock has jumped 148% in two years and 245% in five years.
According to Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments, Asian Energy Services share price has been trading in a tight range for the past 70 days, showing clear signs of consolidation.
'Today's price action is drawing significant attention, with volumes spiking over 2,218% above the 50-day average — a strong precursor to a potential breakout. A sustained move above the ₹ 340–345 zone will confirm the breakout and open up immediate upside targets in the range of ₹ 395 to 425. The volume surge indicates strong accumulation, and if follow-through buying continues, the stock could witness a sharp momentum-driven rally in the near term," Jain said.

Hyundai Q1 FY26 profit down 8.1% amid weak demand, macro headwinds

Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) on Wednesday reported an 8.1 per cent year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 1,362.3 crore in the first quarter of FY26, impacted by sluggish domestic demand, weak hatchback sales, a tense geopolitical situation and macroeconomic uncertainty. Hyundai also noted a structural shift in consumer preference towards compact SUVs over entry-level hatchbacks, which has affected segment volumes. Despite cost pressures, HMIL managed to maintain an EBITDA margin of 13.3 per cent, supported by a rise in exports, higher CNG penetration, and disciplined pricing. 'The prolonged softness in demand, driven by macro challenges and global uncertainties, continued to weigh on market sentiment,' said Unsoo Kim, managing director, HMIL. 'However, we remained focused on expanding our rural presence, updating our product line-up, and enhancing brand competitiveness,' he added. Rural markets accounted for 23 per cent of Hyundai's domestic volumes during the quarter — the company's highest-ever rural penetration. 'The hatchback segment is shrinking — it has dropped from 46 per cent of the passenger vehicle market in FY21 to just 21 per cent in Q1,' said Tarun Garg, chief operating officer, HMIL. 'What we're seeing is a clear shift. Instead of small cars, buyers are opting for entry-level SUVs like the Exter. These offer better space, stronger road presence, and align with evolving customer aspirations,' he noted. Garg added that the share of first-time buyers in Hyundai's sales continues to rise, and the contribution of SUVs in rural areas also mirrors the national trend. 'Even in rural markets, SUVs account for 68 per cent of our sales. The myth that rural customers prefer only small cars is changing.' Hyundai's discount levels during the quarter stood at 3.4 per cent — below the industry average. 'We don't see discounts going up,' said Garg. 'In fact, depending on the festive momentum, they may hold or come down.' Hyundai said that while macroeconomic concerns — including the Indo-Pak situation, the Iran-Israel conflict, and tariff uncertainties — had not directly impacted sales, the overall environment remained volatile. He expressed optimism about the second half of the fiscal year. 'We are entering the festive season early this year, with Onam and Ganesh Chaturthi. The impact of recent RBI rate cuts and income tax relief will likely be visible in H2, as salaried customers plan their spending,' he said. 'Forty-four per cent of our buyers are salaried, and we expect the benefits to start reflecting in demand.' On the export front, Hyundai saw a 13 per cent increase in volumes, with exports accounting for 27 per cent of its overall sales mix. The company said it has seen broad-based growth across emerging markets, reinforcing India's role as a global manufacturing hub. 'We are not facing any shortage of rare earth magnets,' said K S Hariharan, head of investor relations, HMIL, during the earnings conference call. 'We continue to work with our vendors to ensure supply continuity,' Hariharan added. Hyundai has also commenced engine production at its newly acquired Pune facility, which will support both Pune and Chennai operations and improve production efficiency. The company will host its first Investor Day on October 15, where it plans to detail its product roadmap, including 26 new launches by FY30 and its strategy for powertrain diversification. SUVs accounted for 68 per cent of Hyundai's total domestic sales during the quarter — significantly higher than the industry average of 54 per cent. The Creta retained its leadership in the mid-size SUV segment, supported in part by the introduction of its EV variant.

ET Make in India SME Regional Summits: How Surat's MSMEs are weaving India's future

Live Events When Nikhil Garg moved to Surat three years ago, he wasn't sure what to expect. But the city didn't just embrace him— it helped his textile spare parts import business, N-Tex, thrive.'Surat adapts quickly. It's a city that thinks big and supports those with courage,' he said. Garg, who is Founder President of the Agarwal Business Network (ABA), led a fireside chat at the ET Make in India SME Regional Summit - Surat on July 18. The summit had IDBI as banking and lending partner and Canon as tech imports machinery and components from Germany and China and believes that importing is more than trade: it's a form of technology transfer. 'We're helping India stay globally competitive in garments by introducing innovations that weren't accessible before,' he underlined. Especially in knitting, a segment that now dominates 65% of the global textile market, Surat is rapidly catching up with international tech-forward mindset isn't limited to machinery. Entrepreneurs in Surat are investing in modern weaving methods such as airjet and waterjet technology in response to labour shortages. And the scale? 'Some textile units in Surat rival those in China,' Garg pointed the heart of this entrepreneurial engine is trust, something Garg has woven into the fabric of ABA. Launched under the Agrawal Samaj Trust, the not-for-profit network now connects over 120 business owners across sectors— from diamonds to insurance and textile manufacturers to astrologers.'MSMEs work on credit, and credit relies on trust. In ABA, we exchange filtered referrals based on real, successful experiences,' Garg network operates through focused industry groups. Its textile group meets monthly to share practical know-how, while its jewellery wing recently explored how silver is the next big thing for young buyers seeking affordable, yet stylish options.'None of this is taught in schools,' Garg said. 'It's grassroots knowledge, and it's changing the way MSMEs think and grow.'What makes Surat ideal for this transformation? For Garg, it's a mix of safety, cleanliness, infrastructure, and an unusually supportive bureaucracy.'Surat is like a mini India. There are Kathiyawadis, Marwaris, Gujaratis, all working together. It's peaceful, industrious, and fast-moving,' he noted at the ET SME Summit. He even called Surat 'the next Dubai', elaborating on its evolution into a smart hub for textiles, diamonds, and even advice for the next generation was simple but powerful: be practical and above all, have courage. He also warned against the trap many startups fall into: spending big on design and branding while ignoring customer for the younger entrepreneurs in his network, Garg sees a shift toward visibility and social media clout. But he's quick to point out that some of Surat's most successful businesspeople operate under the radar.'They aren't on Instagram and they aren't giving TED Talks. But they are building sustainable businesses, and that's what really counts,' he a city where tradition and innovation move hand-in-hand, Nikhil Garg was the hyperlocal voice for community-driven growth in Surat. For MSMEs across India, the city might just be the roadmap — and the revolution — they've been waiting ET Make in India SME Regional Summits, ET MSME Day, and ET MSME Awards are flagship initiatives to celebrate the versatility and success of India's MSME sector. If you lead or are part of a micro, small, or medium enterprise, register for the ET MSME Awards 2025 before August 31, 2025.
