Settlement Holiday on 26 August 2026: Stock Market Trading and Settlement Timings The National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) will remain open for trading on Wednesday, 26 August 2026. However, the day has been designated as a settlement holiday due to the observance of Id-E-Milad, a religious holiday in the Islamic calendar. As a result, the settlement of eligible trades will be postponed to the next business day, Thursday, 27 August 2026. For investors, this means that trading activities will proceed as usual on 26 August. However, the processing of share credits, sale proceeds, and other settlement-related transactions will be delayed. These activities will instead occur on the following settlement business day, 27 August 2026, when the T+1 settlement cycle will resume. A settlement holiday refers to a day when the stock exchanges remain operational for trading, but the market’s clearing and settlement infrastructure is suspended. This includes clearing corporations, depositories (National Securities Depository Limited and Central Securities Depository Limited), clearing banks, and other institutions responsible for transferring securities and funds between buyers and sellers. During such a holiday, these entities are closed, and therefore, the settlement process does not take place on the designated holiday. On 26 August 2026, the only change will be the deferral of settlement-related activities to the next business day. Trading hours and order execution will remain unchanged, with equity, equity derivatives, and currency derivatives markets operating during their regular hours. Orders will be processed as usual, and intraday trades will continue without interruption. Positions opened during the day will be closed within the same session, unaffected by the settlement holiday.#bse #nse #idemilad #t_plus_1 #national_securities_depository_limited

Milky Mist Dairy Food's Market Debut Surges Nearly 30% Shares of packaged food company Milky Mist Dairy Food Ltd surged nearly 30% on their market debut, closing at Rs 181.45 on the BSE and Rs 181.50 on the NSE, significantly higher than the initial issue price of Rs 140. The stock opened at Rs 165, reflecting a 17.85% increase from the issue price, and ended the trading session with a premium of 29.60% on the BSE and 29.64% on the NSE. The company’s market valuation reached Rs 13,968.81 crore following the listing. The Rs 1,553-crore initial public offering (IPO) had a price band of Rs 133-140 per share, with a fresh issue of up to Rs 1,428 crore and an offer-for-sale (OFS) component of up to Rs 125 crore. This IPO marks the largest fundraising initiative by an Indian dairy company to date, surpassing previous offerings in the sector. Listed competitors in the dairy space include Parag Milk Foods Ltd, Hatsun Agro Product Ltd, and Dodla Dairy Ltd. Proceeds from the fresh issue will be allocated to several strategic initiatives. A significant portion will be used to repay or prepay existing borrowings, while other funds will support the expansion and modernization of the company’s manufacturing facility in Perundurai, Tamil Nadu. The company also plans to strengthen its cold-chain infrastructure, a critical component for maintaining product quality and reducing waste. Additional investments will focus on setting up new production units for whey protein concentrate, yogurt, and cream cheese. The company also intends to install ice cream freezers and chocolate coolers to diversify its product portfolio. A portion of the funds will be reserved for general corporate purposes, including research and development, marketing, and operational efficiency.#bse #nse #milky_mist_dairy_food_ltd #parag_milk_foods_ltd #hatsun_agro_product_ltd

Swiggy Ltd. Share Price Surges 3.58% Amid Sector-Wide Valuation Disparity Swiggy Ltd. (SWIGGY) shares closed at Rs 282.15 on 20 August 2026, marking a 3.58% increase from the previous close of Rs 272.40. The stock’s rise to Rs 282.15, with an intraday high of Rs 285.35 and a low of Rs 274.00, positioned it among the top gainers in the Indian stock market. The surge, driven by active trading volume of 70,21,803 shares—66,69,888 on the NSE and 3,51,915 on the BSE—highlighted the stock’s significance in the Retailing sector. Swiggy Ltd.’s market capitalisation of Rs 75,604.99 crore stood out as it dwarfed its retailing peers, which ranged from Rs 1.60 crore to Rs 3,077.85 crore. The company’s valuation metrics further underscored this divergence. While the sector’s benchmark P/E ratio spanned from 0.96x to 1,461.93x, Swiggy’s absence from specific valuation data meant its size and scale became the primary focus. The stock’s market cap, over 80 times larger than the next-largest peer, placed it in a distinct category within the Retailing sector. The sector’s valuation and profitability dispersion revealed stark contrasts. The median P/E ratio for retailing companies was 18.69x, while the average soared to 68.74x, indicating a mix of undervalued and high-multiple firms. Similarly, profitability metrics like ROE and ROCE varied widely, with medians at 1.43% and 6.61%, respectively, but averages significantly higher. This diversity suggested that Swiggy’s performance could be influenced by factors beyond its immediate peers. Swiggy’s position in the sector also highlighted its unique market dynamics. While the benchmark P/B ratio stood at 1.72x, the company’s P/B data was not provided, complicating direct comparisons.#bse #nse #market_capitalisation #swiggy_ltd #retailing_sector

Dhoot Transmission and Molbio Diagnostics IPOs See Strong Debut with Premium Listings Shares of Dhoot Transmission and Molbio Diagnostics made a notable debut on the stock exchanges, with both companies listing at prices significantly higher than their initial public offering (IPO) prices. Dhoot Transmission's shares opened at Rs 1,200 on the BSE, marking a 37.77 per cent premium over the IPO price of Rs 871 per share. On the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the stock debuted at Rs 1193.80, a 37.06 per cent increase from the issue price. Molbio Diagnostics shares listed at Rs 980 on both the BSE and NSE, reflecting a 21.44 per cent premium over the IPO price of Rs 807. Both stocks are now available for trading, with the BSE confirming their listing under the 'B' Group of Securities. The IPOs received strong investor demand, with Dhoot Transmission's shares attracting 74.21 times subscription on the final day of the share sale. Molbio Diagnostics, meanwhile, saw a subscription rate of 70.26 times. Ahead of the listing, grey market premiums (GMP) indicated further upside potential. Molbio Diagnostics' unlisted shares were trading at a GMP of Rs 120, suggesting an expected listing price of around Rs 927, which would represent a 14.87 per cent premium over the IPO price. For Dhoot Transmission, the GMP stood at Rs 258, implying a projected listing price of Rs 1129, a 29.62 per cent premium over the issue price. The IPOs also reflected robust fundraising efforts. Molbio Diagnostics, a Goa-based point-of-care diagnostics company, raised Rs 281.5 crore from anchor investors before its public offering. The company is backed by major investors such as Temasek and Motilal Oswal Private Equity. Dhoot Transmission's Rs 3,067-crore IPO attracted bids for 1.#bse #nse #goa #dhoot_transmission #molbio_diagnostics

Technocraft Ventures IPO Day 2: Grey Market Premium Surges as Subscription Activity Grows The initial public offering (IPO) of Technocraft Ventures Ltd entered its second day of trading in the Indian primary market, with the grey market premium (GMP) for its shares jumping to Rs.21 on August 10, up from Rs.10 on the previous day. The company, which aims to raise Rs.252 crore through its public issue, has set a price band of Rs.200 to Rs.212 per equity share. The offering includes both fresh shares and an Offer for Sale (OFS), with Rs.202 crore allocated for fresh equity and Rs.50 crore reserved for the OFS route. The IPO is open until August 11, 2026, and is expected to list on the BSE and NSE exchanges by August 14, 2026. Analysts have provided mixed but generally positive assessments of the IPO. Anand Rathi noted that at the upper price band, the company’s valuation stands at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 19.4x, based on its FY26 annualized earnings per share (EPS) of Rs.14.39. This implies a post-issue market capitalization of approximately Rs.8,397 million. The firm highlighted Technocraft Ventures’ diversified order book, expanding geographical presence, and integrated EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) capabilities as factors supporting long-term growth. However, Rathi cautioned that the proposed valuation appears fairly priced relative to listed peers. Sushil Financial Services also recommended subscription, citing the company’s strong revenue and profit growth, efficient working-capital deployment for order-book expansion, low debt reliance, and competitive valuation compared to industry counterparts. The firm emphasized the potential for sustained performance given these fundamentals.#bse #nse #anand_rathi #technocraft_ventures_ltd #sushil_financial_services

Vijay Kedia's Solar Company Shares Surge to 100 Rupees Amid 6-Year Growth Spurt Distinguished investor Vijay Kedia has significantly increased his stake in Websol Energy System, a solar energy company, during the current financial year's first quarter. Kedia acquired over 3.4 lakh shares of the company, bringing his total holdings to more than 47.85 lakh shares. According to the latest shareholding pattern as of June 30, 2026, Kedia's stake in Websol Energy System now accounts for 1.1% of the company's equity. The valuation of his holdings is estimated at approximately 47 crore rupees based on the company's closing share price. Websol Energy System's shares have experienced a dramatic rise, surging from 2 rupees in July 2020 to 102.65 rupees on July 16, 2026, marking a 1325% increase over the past five years. The company's shares have also seen a 1091% surge in the last three years, with the stock reaching 8.49 rupees on July 14, 2023. The recent surge has pushed the shares to their 52-week high of 157.12 rupees, while the 52-week low stands at 50.39 rupees. The explosive growth in Websol Energy System's shares is attributed to its core business of manufacturing solar cells and photovoltaic modules. The company's share price has been driven by increasing demand for renewable energy solutions and favorable market conditions. Kedia's strategic investment has further amplified the stock's momentum, with the shares experiencing a 4% spike on the BSE on July 16, 2026. Websol Energy System has also implemented share splits to make its equity more accessible to retail investors. The company split its shares in November 2025, converting 10 rupees face value shares into 10 shares of 1 rupee face value.#india #bse #vijay_kedia #websol_energy_system #solar_cells

NSE's IPO Positions It as Competitive Threat to BSE and MCX Shares of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) fell by up to 5% following a report by investment bank Jefferies, which highlighted the National Stock Exchange (NSE)’s competitive advantages ahead of its planned initial public offering (IPO). The analysis suggested that NSE’s market dominance, diversified revenue streams, and strong financial performance position it as a formidable rival to BSE and MCX, potentially reshaping the dynamics of India’s financial markets. Jefferies emphasized that NSE holds a market share of over 90% in most segments, including equities, derivatives, commodities, currencies, bonds, and clearing services. Its clearing arm controls 88% of the cash market and 91% of futures and options (F&O) clearing, while technology and data services contribute 13% of its total revenues. The bank noted that NSE’s expansion into commodities and its broad product portfolio provide it with greater resilience and growth potential compared to BSE and MCX. This diversification, combined with its leadership in key segments, is expected to bolster NSE’s ability to compete effectively in the evolving market landscape. The derivatives market has emerged as a significant driver of NSE’s revenue growth. India’s equity options market has grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 56% between fiscal years 2020 and 2026, far outpacing the 19% growth in cash market turnover. Currently, options premiums account for an average of 70% of daily cash turnover, making derivatives approximately 70% of the exchange’s operating revenues. While India trades more option contracts than the United States, the volume of premium transactions remains only one-fifth as large, leaving room for further expansion.#bse #nse #mcx #jefferies #sebi

NSE vs BSE: Which exchange leads on revenue, profit and growth ahead of NSE IPO? The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) has taken a significant step toward its public offering by filing its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The proposed IPO is structured as a complete offer-for-sale (OFS) of up to 14.89 crore equity shares, with existing shareholders selling their stakes. The shares will be listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), mirroring BSE's own listing on NSE. Key selling shareholders include State Bank of India, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, and several insurance and financial institutions. This move underscores NSE's strategic positioning as it prepares for its market debut. NSE and BSE collectively dominate India's organised stock and derivatives trading markets, operating as a duopoly. Despite a year-on-year decline in revenue, NSE's FY26 financials highlight its superior performance compared to BSE. NSE reported revenue of ₹16,601 crore, over 3.5 times higher than BSE's ₹4,833 crore, while its net profit (PAT) stood at ₹10,302 crore, more than four times BSE's ₹2,487 crore. This disparity reflects NSE's larger scale and market share, particularly in cash market trading, where its average daily volume reached ₹1.05 lakh crore compared to BSE's ₹7,950 crore. NSE also maintains a stronger position in the derivatives segment. The revenue streams for both exchanges are diversified, with transaction charges forming the largest portion. NSE earned ₹13,057 crore from transaction charges and ₹352 crore from listing services, while BSE generated ₹3,795 crore from transaction charges and ₹519 crore from listing services. These segments constitute the bulk of their total revenue.#bse #nse #state_bank_of_india #sebi #canada_pension_plan_investment_board

Mock Trading Sessions Continue on NSE and BSE on Saturday NSE and BSE will conduct mock trading sessions on Saturday, June 13, 2026, despite the day typically being a holiday for investors. The activity is part of system testing to ensure the technical infrastructure of the stock exchanges remains robust. Unlike regular trading, no real money transactions will occur during this session. The mock trading will cover multiple segments, including equities, electronic gold receipts, currency derivatives, and commodity derivatives. The primary objective is to evaluate the strength of the market’s technical framework and identify potential system issues before actual trading resumes. This exercise is designed to prevent disruptions and ensure seamless operations for investors. NSE announced the mock trading schedule on Friday, June 12, 2026, specifying that the session will take place on the primary and BCP sites. A re-login session will also be conducted on Monday, June 15, 2026, to address any login-related problems. The timing of the mock trading aligns with the standard market hours, allowing participants to test their platforms without financial risk. Investors are advised that the session is purely technical and does not impact real market activities. The exchanges aim to simulate real trading conditions, enabling brokers, traders, and market participants to practice order placements and system interactions. This practice helps identify and resolve technical glitches, ensuring that the platforms operate efficiently during actual trading days. Mock trading is a routine exercise for stock exchanges to maintain reliability and address potential risks. With millions of trades processed every second, technical failures could disrupt operations and affect investors.#bse #nse #stock_exchanges #mock_trading_sessions #technical_infrastructure

US-Iran Conflict Over? Stock Market Surges as Peace Deal Sparks Rally The Indian stock market experienced a significant surge today, with investors reaping substantial profits as news of a potential peace agreement between the United States and Iran sent optimism soaring. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) market capitalization crossed 10 lakh crore rupees, driven by a sharp rally across major indices. The Sensex gained 1,695 points, or 2.30%, closing at 75,527.95, while the Nifty 50 rose 461.30 points, or 1.99%, to 23,622.90. The Bank Nifty also saw a strong rebound, climbing 1,638 points, or 2.97%, to 56,800. The rally was triggered by reports of a proposed U.S.-Iran peace deal, which includes the removal of sanctions, the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, and the withdrawal of American military forces from Iran’s vicinity. Iranian state news agency Mehr confirmed the deal’s inclusion of these terms, while U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the agreement is nearly finalized and will be signed within the week. The announcement came just hours after Iran had threatened to take control of its oil industry, intensifying market speculation about a diplomatic resolution. The positive sentiment extended to smaller-cap indices, with retail investors and institutional players capitalizing on the rally. The BSE Top 30 index saw nearly all shares rise sharply, with Powergrid and Tata Motors leading the pack. Bajaj Finance surged 5.62%, followed by L&T, Indigo, Titan, and Airtel, which all gained over 5%. The mid-cap and small-cap indices also saw robust gains, reflecting broad-based optimism. The U.S.-Iran deal’s impact was felt globally, with American markets also rallying. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 indices closed higher, sending ripples through Asian markets.#sensex #nifty_50 #bank_nifty #bse #us_iran

Yes Bank Ltd Shares Edge Lower on NSE Amid Valuation Focus Yes Bank Ltd shares traded slightly lower on the National Stock Exchange of India on May 28, 2026, closing at INR 22.76, reflecting a 0.31% decline from the previous day’s close. The stock, listed under the ticker YESBANK on the NSE and on the BSE, remained within its 52-week trading range of INR 18.20 to INR 28.90, positioning it near the middle of this range as of late May 2026. Market participants continued to monitor the bank’s credit growth, non-performing asset (NPA) trends, and deposit mobilization strategies, as these factors remain critical for assessing the broader domestic banking sector’s health. The stock’s recent performance was characterized by muted volatility, with the price hovering around INR 22.76 on May 28, according to live market data from NSE-focused price trackers. Broader market dynamics, including the performance of domestic indices and sector-specific news, also influenced trading activity. Derivatives commentary for the May 29 session highlighted key support levels near INR 22.72 and resistance around INR 22.97, indicating that traders in India’s futures and options (F&O) segment were closely watching a tight near-term trading band. These levels were being evaluated alongside macroeconomic indicators and sector-specific developments. Investors are increasingly focusing on valuation metrics for Yes Bank Ltd, particularly how the current share price in the low-20s rupee range aligns with the bank’s financial performance and balance sheet strength. While comprehensive valuation ratios such as price-to-earnings (P/E) and price-to-book (P/B) are typically derived from the most recent annual and quarterly financial statements, market participants are using available data to compare Yes Bank with its peers.#bse #idfc_first_bank #national_stock_exchange_of_india #yes_bank_ltd #tradegate

Small-Cap Stock Jay Bharat Maruti Surpasses 20% Upper Circuit Amid Strong Profit Growth The shares of Jay Bharat Maruti, an auto component manufacturer, surged dramatically on Wednesday despite a broader market decline. The stock hit a 20% upper circuit at 103.24 rupees on the BSE, marking a significant rally in a falling market. This performance highlights the company’s strong financial health and investor confidence, even as broader market conditions remain volatile. Jay Bharat Maruti’s financial results for the January-March 2025-26 fiscal quarter reveal a remarkable 287% increase in net profit, reaching 79.59 crore rupees compared to 20.56 crore rupees in the same period the previous year. This growth was further amplified by a 36.79 crore rupee tax rate benefit, which bolstered the company’s profitability. The surge in net profit reflects improved operational efficiency and strong demand for its products. The company’s revenue also saw substantial growth, rising 25.44% year-over-year to 766.01 crore rupees, up from 610.65 crore rupees in the prior year. EBITDA, a key indicator of operational profitability, increased by 57.53% to 91.90 crore rupees, compared to 58.34 crore rupees in the same period. These figures underscore the company’s ability to generate consistent returns and strengthen its market position. Investors are also optimistic about the company’s dividend policy. The board has proposed a final dividend of 0.70 rupees per share for the 2025-26 fiscal year, based on a face value of 2 rupees. This decision signals the company’s commitment to rewarding shareholders while maintaining financial flexibility.

Wipro Shares Surge 3% Amid Share Buyback Consideration After Three-Year Gap Shares of Wipro, one of India’s leading IT firms, rose as much as 3% to their day’s high of Rs 209 on the BSE on Friday after the company announced it would consider a share buyback proposal alongside its fourth-quarter results, scheduled for April 16. This development follows a sharp decline in the stock, which has fallen more than 20% so far this year. If approved, the buyback would mark Wipro’s first such initiative in three years, with the last exercise occurring in 2023, when the company repurchased shares worth approximately Rs 12,000 crore. Details regarding the buyback size, pricing, and execution route remain undisclosed. The move signals a potential capital allocation strategy amid a challenging environment for IT stocks, which have faced volatility in recent months. The sector, including Wipro, has been under pressure due to an AI-driven downturn that has eroded billions in market capitalization. Despite this, the company emphasized a cautious but stable near-term outlook. For the March 2026 quarter, Wipro guided IT services revenue in the range of $2.64 billion to $2.69 billion, indicating flat to 2% sequential growth in constant currency terms. Wipro is also reshaping its strategy to align with the growing importance of artificial intelligence. CEO Srini Pallia highlighted that AI is becoming a key differentiator, noting increased adoption of AI-led platforms, scaling of delivery through internal frameworks, and expansion of the company’s global innovation network. However, the company warned of margin pressure in the fourth quarter, citing factors such as the Harman DTS acquisition, growth investments, deal mix, and potential wage hikes.#bse #wipro #elara_capital #srini_pallia #harman_dts

DMart Shares Post Biggest Single-Day Gain Since February 10, 2020; Here Is Why Shares of Avenue Supermarts, the parent company of the DMart retail chain, surged to their largest single-day gain in over six years on April 1, 2026, as the stock climbed as much as 8.42% to hit an intraday high of ₹4,294.80 on the National Stock Exchange. On the BSE, the stock rose 8.37% to ₹4,293, driven by the company’s recent announcement of expanding its retail footprint across India. This marked the most significant daily movement in DMart’s stock since February 10, 2020, reflecting investor optimism about the retailer’s growth strategy and financial performance. The stock’s rally followed a series of filings by Avenue Supermarts, which disclosed the opening of 23 new retail stores across the country in late March 2026. The expansion brought the company’s total store count to 500, with new locations added in multiple cities and towns. The company’s aggressive rollout included 23 stores opened in a single week, with the latest batch of 12 new locations announced on March 29, 2026.

Powerica IPO: Apply Now or Post-Listing? Market Expert Anil Singhvi Weighs In The initial public offering (IPO) of Powerica Ltd entered its second day of public subscription on Wednesday, March 25, 2026. Market expert Anil Singhvi, Managing Editor at Zee Business, provided insights into the company’s business model, highlighting both its strengths and potential risks. The IPO’s share allotment is expected to be finalized on March 30, 2026, with the stock likely to list on the BSE and NSE on April 2, 2026. As of 10:50 am on the subscription day, the IPO had received limited investor interest, with bids for 2.13 lakh shares out of the total net offer, resulting in a subscription ratio of 0.01 times. Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) had not yet submitted bids for their reserved 58.56 lakh shares. Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs) had applied for 18,389 shares out of 43.92 lakh allocated, while Retail Individual Investors (RIIs) had booked 0.02 times the allotted shares, with 1.81 lakh bids out of 1.02 crore shares. Singhvi emphasized that the power sector is poised for growth, but Powerica must demonstrate stronger future expansion. He advised high-risk investors to consider applying for the IPO long-term, while low-risk investors could apply now but should set a strict stop-loss level at the IPO price of Rs 395. Alternatively, he suggested low-risk investors might wait to purchase the stock post-listing. Singhvi’s analysis of Powerica’s business profile included several key points. The company, established since 1984, has a well-established business model and partnerships with major players like Cummins, Hyundai, and GE Vernova. It maintains a strong presence in diesel generator (DG) sets and wind power solutions, positioning itself to benefit from rising demand for data center and backup power solutions.#bse #nse #anil_singhvi #zee_business #powerica_ltd
