Too late to short Nifty and Bank Nifty; focus on 2 stronger stocks: CA Rudramurthy BV
CA Rudramurthy BV , MD, Vachana Investments , suggests that Nifty and Bank Nifty are currently weak and it is too late to short the market now. Rudramurthy is watching for tariff front developments. The focus shifts to stocks with relative strength, like Indian Hotels , supported around Rs 730, targeting Rs 800 with a Rs 730 stop loss. IndiGo is another stock which looks relatively strong and it can be bought at current market price and on dips to Rs 5,700. One should go long on IndiGo, with a stop loss of Rs 5,680 and target of Rs 6,000. Let us talk about the market levels. At present, the broader markets are showing signs of concerns and at the same time, the benchmarks are also showing a lot of volatility. What in your view is the strategy on Nifty as well as Bank Nifty? CA Rudramurthy BV: Nifty definitely because of two issues, one tariff and two overall result performance has been on the weaker side. For these two major reasons, markets are definitely sulking downwards. Now the strong support area is around 24,350 to 24,400. If you remember, the gap up that we saw after the Indo-Pak war and all the issues that we saw on the market at that point of time, happened at around 24,380 and that holds a very strong support right now, keeping aside tariff and keeping aside the poor earnings overall as we have seen till now. The Bank Nifty is definitely outperforming Nifty overall and one has to be very sector specific and stock specific in this market.

Till it crosses 25,000, Nifty will do some time-wise consolidation. You have to pick the right sectors and stocks in this market if you have to be on the long side and if you are a short-term trader, you have to be very specific on your stock and very strict on your risk management . If I have to talk about sectors, look at pharma, look at FMCG and also look at chemicals and insurance. These are a few sectors which are definitely showing strength. But if you look at sectors where there is a lot of weakness, it will be the top of my list and also look at the other sectors like even defence, capital market related themes. Even realty is looking weak. One has to be very sector specific in this market and on the long side, you have to be very, very choosy. Can you share some stock specific ideas? CA Rudramurthy BV: Nifty and Bank Nifty are weak, but it is too late now to short this market. We have to wait and watch what will happen next on the tariff front and I am looking at stocks and sectors where there is relative strength and I want to be a buyer there.

Results have been good this quarter and there is strong support for the stock at around Rs 730. From current market price, the downside is very limited. Look at targets of Rs 800 initially on Indian Hotels. Keep a stop loss of Rs 730 for this long call. IndiGo is another stock which looks relatively strong to me and results have already come and relative strength can be seen in this stock. At the current market price and on dips to Rs 5,700, I will be a buyer. Positionally go long on IndiGo, have a stop loss of Rs 5,680 and look at targets of Rs 6,000.

Manipal Hospital Yeshwanthpur Leads the Charge as Heart Attacks in Young Indians Reach Crisis Levels
BENGALURU, India, July 17, 2025/PRNewswire/ -- India is witnessing an alarming public health crisis with heart attacks increasingly striking down young adults. Available reports state that nearly 50% of heart attack patients nationwide are below the age of 45. Striking recent investigations into sudden cardiac arrests and deaths in Hassan District, Karnataka, confirm that one-third of these fatalities were among auto and cab drivers—a profession increasingly recognized as highly vulnerable due to, long hours, erratic schedules, and hazardous environmental exposures. This stark reality has highlighted the need for proactive heart health education and life-saving interventions for communities at risk, especially transport workers who spend most of their day on the road. In this context, CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) training has never been more critical. During a sudden cardiac arrest episode, administering immediate CPR can dramatically increase the victim's chance of survival while they await emergency care. Immediate intervention keeps blood and hope flowing until professional help arrives, making every trained community member a potential lifesaver. CPR Awareness Drive: A Step Toward Safer Streets: In response to this urgent public health need, Manipal Hospital Yeshwanthpur organized a CPR demonstration and heart health awareness session for over 20 auto rickshaw drivers, led by Mr. Rudramurthy, General Secretary of the Auto Rickshaw Drivers' Union (ARDU). Guided by Dr Prasanna Katti, Senior Consultant – Interventional Cardiology and Dr. Eshwari Devi, Registrar, Cardiology, at Manipal Hospital Yeshwanthpur, the event aimed to equip participants with tangible, life-saving skills. The session included practical demonstrations using adult male, female, and infant (baby) mannequins, ensuring that participants were equipped to perform CPR on individuals of any age or gender during real-life emergencies. Speaking on the significance of hands-on demonstration, Dr. Eshwari Devi stated, " Learning to perform a CPR and helping a person in a critical condition makes a huge difference in saving a life. Every individual or the first responder trained in CPR becomes a potential hero and a lifesaver for the community." In a move to strengthen emergency response readiness, both doctors not only presided over the event and led CPR training but also personally distributed and affixed Manipal SOS – QR Code stickers to each participant's auto rickshaw. The SOS QR code is Manipal Hospitals innovative technology that enables the first-responder or caregiver to seek swift ambulance support during emergencies by simply scanning the QR code, which is equipped with precise location detection. This ensures that the victim receives care within the critical "Golden Hour"—a move that can make all the difference in survival outcomes. Equipping the participants with further knowledge on general health, wellness, and heart health in particular, Dr. Katti shared health tips tailored for the demanding routines of auto drivers. He discussed the dangers of smoking, the importance of regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and recognizing early signs of heart trouble. "Quit smoking and drinking, also exercise regularly to prevent the chances of a heart attack. Everybody must learn CPR and try their best to save someone who is having a heart attack," he stated. Through this initiative, Manipal Hospital Yeshwanthpur, reaffirms its commitment to preventive care, community outreach, and empowering everyday heroes with the knowledge and skills that can save lives. Manipal Hospitals continues to lead the charge in making advanced cardiac care more accessible, not just inside hospital walls, but out in the community where it matters most.

Order on ceasing bike taxi operations to come into effect from June 16
Starting June 16, app-based bike taxi operations are expected to come to a halt across Karnataka, following the Karnataka High Court's refusal to stay an earlier order mandating the suspension of such services unless the State introduces regulatory norms under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. A Division Bench of the High Court, on June 13, upheld a single judge order dated April 2, which had directed all bike taxi services to wind up operations within six weeks. Although an extension was granted until June 15, the deadline now marks the end of bike taxi rides in the State unless a regulatory framework is introduced. A senior official from the Karnataka Transport Department confirmed that the department is preparing to implement the court's order and will not permit the continuation of bike taxi services beyond the stipulated deadline. However, regarding the regulatory framework the officer did not wish to comment. The move is expected to affect thousands of riders and commuters. An executive from a leading bike taxi aggregator platform, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that over six lakh individuals in Karnataka depend on bike taxi gigs for their livelihood. 'Most of them earn around ₹35,000 a month, and this ban could push many families into financial distress,' the official noted. Impact of ban The impact of the ban is twofold: while it disrupts the lives of gig workers, it also leaves commuters stranded. For several residents, especially those dependent on public transport, bike taxis provided a cheaper last-mile solution. Commuters said that the services were not only cheaper but also faster, helping daily office-goers and students navigate city traffic with ease. A Whitfield resident and daily commuter, Rohan Imdapura, said, 'Bike taxis were a lifesaver for people like me. Getting from home to the metro station used to cost barely ₹30–₹40. Now I will be forced to rely on autorickshaws, which are expensive and not always dependable.' The court's decision, however, has been welcomed by autorickshaw drivers, who have been at loggerheads with bike taxi operators over what they describe as unfair competition. Rudramurthy, general secretary of the Autorickshaw Drivers' Union, said, 'This verdict is a huge relief. Bike taxis were running without clear regulations, which affected our earnings and posed safety risks to commuters. The government must now ensure there are no illegal operations continuing under the radar.' Over the past few years, tensions have flared between auto drivers and bike taxi riders, occasionally erupting into confrontations on the streets. Uncertain future Meanwhile, representatives of bike taxi riders said the decision has left thousands in limbo. Adi Narayana, president of the Bike Taxi Welfare Association, said many riders are approaching the association's offices seeking clarity on their future. 'Most of our captains have EMIs to pay, families to feed, and rent to cover. This is not just about losing a job, it's about losing the ability to survive. Will the government offer any support?' he asked. Rapido, one of the leading platforms operating bike taxis in the State, has responded to the High Court's ruling by confirming that it will comply with the directive effective June 16. While the company clarified that it is not a party to the current legal case, it acknowledged the situation and said it remains committed to acting as a responsible participant in the State's transport ecosystem. 'This is a difficult time for our captains, who depend on us for their main source of income. They have played a key role in enabling affordable, last-mile transportation for millions across Karnataka,' a Rapido spokesperson said. The company stated it is actively engaging with the Karnataka Transport Department to develop a regulatory framework that is not only lawful but also viable for all stakeholders involved. It stressed that the safety of commuters and the well-being of gig workers will continue to be at the heart of its approach. 'We remain optimistic that ongoing discussions with the authorities will lead to a balanced policy framework, similar to those in other States and Union Territories,' the spokesperson added.
