BSE500 stock soars 51% in 8 days; nearly doubles from April month low
Share price of Apar Industries today
Shares of Apar Industries hit an over three-month high of ₹8,399.95, gaining 6 per cent on the BSE in Friday's intra-day trade in an otherwise subdued market on expectations of strong future outlook. The BSE500 stock was trading at its highest level since January 28, 2025. It had hit a 52-week high of ₹11,797.35 on January 8, 2025. In comparison, the BSE Sensex was down 0.2 per cent at 82,369.56 at 01:30 PM.
The stock price of Apar Industries, the world's largest aluminium alloy conductor manufacturer, 3rd largest transformer oil manufacturer and India's largest renewable cables manufacturer, was quoting higher for the eight straight day, soaring 51 per cent during the period. It has nearly doubled or zoomed 97 per cent from its previous month low of ₹4,270 touched on April 7, 2025.
Strong Q4 results, outlook
Despite the current uncertainties relating to reciprocating tariffs from the US, Apar saw a strong recovery in its US business. This growth is expected to continue on the back of a supply and demand gap which is filled by $20 bn imports annually.
The management said the company has achieved a historic milestone of revenue in Q4FY25 surpassing ₹5,000 crore. Strategic business depth, resilient domestic market and growth in the US business have all contributed to achieving healthy operating margins. The management is optimistic that the future outlook will continue to remain strong with a steadfast commitment to higher efficiency and innovative product offerings as the world goes through the energy transition.
Brokerage view – PL Capital
Domestic demand continued to show strength while recovery in the US further pushed the top line. The company announced a ₹1,300 crore capex to enhance manufacturing capabilities across segments, supporting future expansion. Favorable macro tailwinds - such as re-conductoring opportunities, public capex in T&D, and the energy transition - will support management guidance of 10 per cent volume growth in the Conductors segment and 25 per cent sales growth in the Cables business in FY26.
Analysts believe, US exports, Chinese competition in other markets and pace of re-tendering in the Indian market to be key monitorable in the medium term. However, we are long-term positive on the stock owing to 1) robust transmission & distribution (T&D) capex driving demand across segments; 2) focus on premium conductors in the domestic market, 3) healthy traction in elastomeric cables used in renewables, defence and railways, and 4) market leadership in the growing T-oils business.

‘Shame On You': Sabeer Bhatia's Critical Remarks On Indian Economy Leave Internet Furious
Last Updated: The Hotmail co-founder has now taken a swipe at India's pride in becoming the world's fourth-largest economy. Indian-American entrepreneur Sabeer Bhatia has stirred controversy once again, following a series of critical remarks about the Indian economy. Just days after questioning the country's GDP claims, the Hotmail co-founder has now taken a swipe at India's pride in becoming the world's fourth-largest economy. Posting on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, Bhatia stated that Indians should feel ashamed of the nation's low average income levels, despite the population reaching 1.4 billion. His remarks sparked widespread backlash, with many users flooding the comment section to criticise and challenge his statements. 'Instead of hanging your head in shame that 415 million people in India survive on $3.10/day, you brag about being the world's 4th largest economy. Shame on you," Bhatia wrote on X.

Shame on you.— Sabeer Bhatia (@sabeer) June 10, 2025 In response to Bhatia's post, many slammed him for gaining attention through the comments and not making any real contribution. The business was also engaged with a few critics, offering further insights. As one wrote, 'Why are you bragging about being the world's No. 1 economy with $36–37 trillion in debt? You're entirely dependent on a migrant population, conducting coups in other countries, and stealing their gold and oil resources. There is massive overvaluation of companies and many other things," to which Bhatia replied, 'Nobody is bragging. Show me one place where the US is bragging (except in your head). You've been fed the wrong story." A comment read, 'Sabeer, you may have your own ideas. Why don't you come to India, contest elections, win them, implement your agenda, and show the results? That would be better than sitting in an ivory tower and passing judgments." This is not the first time that Bhatia's comments on India have irked the internet. Earlier in May, the businessman shared a video criticising the country's economic growth. 'We overtook Japan in GDP… but can you feel it in your pocket? Growth without distribution is merely inflation in disguise," he wrote in the caption.

Among those who pushed back was former Infosys director Mohandas Pai, who openly challenged Bhatia's claims. This sparked a heated exchange between the two. First Published:

'Take it or leave it': Donald Trump may extend July 8 tariff deadline; going to send trade letters out soon
Donald Trump (AP) US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he's open to extending the July 8 deadline for trade talks before higher tariffs kick in, but added that an extension probably won't be "a necessity. " Speaking to reporters ahead of a performance at the Kennedy Center Trump said, "We're rocking in terms of deals. We're dealing with quite a few countries and they all want to make a deal with us." Despite being open to some flexibility, Trump stressed that he didn't see an extension would be "a necessity." Trump told the reporters that the discussions were ongoing with about 15 countries, including South Korea, Japan, and the European Union , according to Reuters report. "We're dealing with Japan. We're dealing with South Korea. We're dealing with a lot of them. We're dealing with about 15 countries. But as you know, we have about 150-plus, and you can't [make a deal with all of them]. So we're going to be sending letters out in about a week and a half, two weeks, to countries and telling them what the deal is." Trump further continued that the United States will soon send letters outlining final trade deal terms to dozens of countries. "At a certain point, we're just going to send letters out ... saying, 'This is the deal. You can take it, or you can leave it,'" Trump said. "So at a certain point we'll do that. We're not quite ready," he added. Currently, only one deal, with the United Kingdom has been finalised, while about 17 others are still under negotiation. A 90-day pause on Trump's sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs is set to expire on July 8, putting pressure on countries to reach agreements. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking to lawmakers, said the deadline could be extended for some nations. Bessent explained to the House Ways and Means Committee that, "It is highly likely that those countries - or trading blocs as is the case with the EU - who are negotiating in good faith, we will roll the date forward to continue the good-faith negotiations." "If someone is not negotiating, then we will not." Bessent added. Bessent's comments marked the first time a Trump administration official suggested there could be flexibility on the tariff pause deadline. Trump echoed this sentiment, saying, "They do want to negotiate." Earlier on Tuesday (local time), Trump has confirmed that a new trade deal with China is "done," pending final approval from both him and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Under the agreement, the US will impose a 55% tariff on Chinese imports, while China will apply a 10% tariff on American goods. "We made a great deal with China. We're very happy with it," Trump told reporters at the Kennedy Center, further adding that, "We have everything we need, and we're going to do very well with it. And hopefully they are, too." Trump revealed that China will supply the US with magnets and rare earth materials as part of the deal. In return, Chinese students will be allowed to continue studying at American universities—a reversal from Trump's earlier restrictions on their presence at US institutions. Trump posted on Truth Social, "Our deal with China is done, subject to final approval with president xi and me. full magnets, and any necessary rare earths, will be supplied, up front, by China. Likewise, we will provide to China what was agreed to, including Chinese students using our colleges and universities (which has always been good with me!). We are getting a total of 55% tariffs, China is getting 10%. Relationship is excellent!" "Adding to the China readout, President XI and I are going to work closely together to open up China to American Trade. This would be a great WIN for both countries!!!," Trump said in separate post. The backdrop to these developments is Trump's abrupt announcement on April 9 of a pause in his aggressive tariff plans, which had shocked global markets a week earlier when he unveiled sweeping "Liberation Day" tariffs on nearly all major trading partners. The move sent the S&P 500 Index tumbling over 12% in just four days, its worst drop since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Even US Treasury bonds were hit, with yields spiking and the dollar sinking. Markets only began to stabilise on April 9, when Trump unexpectedly paused the tariff rollout. Optimism returned in May as the administration scaled back aggressive tariff plans, especially against China.
