Kirloskar Ferrous shares jump 3% after winning Iron Ore Mine bid in Karnataka
Kirloskar Ferrous Industries Ltd saw its stock rise over 3% in early trade on Wednesday after the company announced a key development in its raw material strategy. As of 9:18 AM, the shares were trading 2.81% higher at Rs 594.00.
The Government of Karnataka has declared Kirloskar Ferrous as the 'Preferred Bidder' for the Jambunatha Iron Ore Mine, following a competitive electronic auction process.
The bidding was part of the Karnataka government's tender issued on October 3, 2024, inviting applications for mining leases across the state. Kirloskar Ferrous participated in the e-auction conducted on January 27, 2025, and submitted the highest final price offer for the Jambunatha mine, which secured them the preferred bidder status. The official confirmation came via a letter from the Department of Mines and Geology dated July 22, 2025.
The mining lease will be formally granted once the company fulfills all the required formalities — including payments, approvals, and execution of agreements with government agencies. This includes obtaining regulatory clearances and completing conditions set out in the tender documents.
The development is being seen as a strategic win for Kirloskar Ferrous, which has been looking to secure backward integration of raw material supply.

IEX hits record electricity trade volume of 12,664 MU, up 25.5% YoY in July 2025
Indian Energy Exchange (IEX), the country's leading electricity trading platform, clocked its highest-ever monthly electricity trade volume in July 2025. The exchange reported a total traded volume of 12,664 million units (MU), including the Term-Ahead and Real-Time Ancillary Services (TRAS), marking a robust 25.5% year-on-year growth. This surge in volumes came even as India's power consumption touched 153.6 billion units (BUs) during the month, as per government data—up 2.6% YoY. Interestingly, despite the higher demand, market clearing prices fell sharply on the back of stronger supply-side liquidity. The Day-Ahead Market (DAM) settled at an average Rs 4.18 per unit, down 16% YoY, while Real-Time Market (RTM) prices dropped 23% YoY to Rs 3.83 per unit. These lower prices provided cost-effective opportunities for Discoms as well as commercial and industrial consumers to meet their power needs through exchange-based procurement. Day-Ahead, Term-Ahead & Real-Time Market Performance The DAM, including HPDAM, recorded 5,510 MU in July 2025, up 9% from July 2024. The RTM achieved its highest-ever monthly volume of 5,109 MU, a sharp 53% YoY rise. The Term-Ahead Market (TAM), including various short-term contracts, traded 917 MU, up 28% YoY. Green Market Trends: G-DAM & G-TAM The Green Market—comprising the Green Day-Ahead Market (G-DAM) and Green Term-Ahead Market (G-TAM)—continued its steady growth. In July 2025, the green segment recorded 1,025 MU, compared to 990 MU in July 2024, posting a 4% YoY increase. The weighted average price in G-DAM stood at Rs 3.91/unit. Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Market Update In the two trading sessions held on July 9 and July 30, IEX facilitated trading of 16.26 lakh RECs at a clearing price of Rs 360 per REC. However, the REC trade volume declined by 48% YoY. The next REC trading sessions are scheduled for August 13 and August 27, 2025.

Antfin to offload entire 5.84% stake in Paytm via Rs 3,803 crore block deal on August 5: Report
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on August 4, 2025, 18:13 IST Antfin (Netherlands) Holding B.V., one of the largest shareholders in One 97 Communications (Paytm), is set to sell its entire 5.84 percent stake in the company through a block deal on Indian stock exchanges on August 5, according to deal terms reviewed by Moneycontrol . The proposed transaction involves the sale of up to 3.77 crore equity shares, amounting to 5.84% of Paytm's outstanding equity. The floor price has been set at Rs 1,020 per share — a 5.4% discount to Paytm's last closing price of Rs 1,078.20 on August 4 on the NSE. The total deal size is pegged at Rs 3,803 crore. This is a pure secondary market transaction with no fresh equity issuance by Paytm. According to sources cited by Moneycontrol , the sale is being termed a 'clean-up trade' with no post-deal lock-in requirement. Citigroup Global Markets India and Goldman Sachs (India) Securities are acting as placement agents for the transaction. The order book opens at 7 AM IST on August 5, with an option to close earlier depending on investor demand. Shares are expected to settle on August 6 on a T+1 basis. Antfin has been steadily reducing its holding in Paytm over the past two years. This latest sale follows earlier block deals, including one in August 2023, when it sold shares worth around Rs 1,371 crore. The move is aligned with Antfin's broader effort to cut exposure, in line with regulatory views concerning long-term Chinese-origin investments.
