Savouring Italian summers at Ottimo
As the summer sun turned up the heat, Hyderabadis got a taste of Italian sunshine with Stagione Della Calda — a seasonally inspired a la carte table-top experience at Ottimo, ITC Kohenur. A delightful fusion of tradition and innovation, the menu offered a refreshing culinary escape straight from the coasts of Italy. Curated by Chef Apar Chatterjee, the special offerings showcased seasonal ingredients, bold yet balanced flavours, and a strong commitment to authenticity. Fresh, light & flavourful 'Italian cuisine in summer is all about freshness — ripe tomatoes, fragrant basil, crisp vegetables, and a touch of citrus. We've created a menu that celebrates these elements while keeping things light, colourful, and nourishing,' shares Chef Apar. Our evening began with a refreshing surprise — Thé di Pomodoro, a light, crisp tomato tea. A modern twist on the traditional consommé, this elegant brew proved to be a perfect summer aperitif. 'Tomatoes are a staple ingredient during the summer months in Italy. We wanted to capture the essence of Italian summers through this tomato tea,' the chef explained. Next came Burrata Con Pomodoro Antico E Peperoni Arrosto — fresh burrata cheese paired with heirloom tomatoes, arugula, roasted peppers, mint, and toasted pine nuts. It was a symphony of textures and flavours — creamy, crunchy, cool, and aromatic. We then explored the vibrant Carpaccio di Gamberi — delicate slices of poached prawn wrapped around fresh ricotta, served in a pool of melon gazpacho. A dish that truly awakened our senses.

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.
