In its regulatory filing on April 7, the company also reported robust full-year performance, with FY25 sales bookings rising 21% to ₹17,630 crore, compared to ₹14,520 crore in FY24 — exceeding its earlier guidance.

“We achieved our best-ever quarter pre-sales of ₹4,810 crore, showing 14% YoY growth. With this, we achieved pre-sales of ₹17,630 crore in FY25 (up 21% YoY), surpassing our FY25 guidance and delivering sustainable, predictable 20% growth,” Macrotech said in its filing.

Strong Collection Growth, Digital Infra Expansion

The real estate firm also reported strong cash collections. For Q4FY25, collections stood at ₹4,440 crore, a 26% increase year-on-year, while full-year collections surged 29% to ₹14,490 crore.

Macrotech, which has a growing presence in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Pune, and Bengaluru, expanded its business development portfolio significantly. During the year, it added 10 new projects (excluding Digital Infra) with a gross development value (GDV) of ₹23,700 crore, surpassing its full-year guidance of ₹21,000 crore. These projects span across MMR, Bengaluru, and Pune.

In the Digital Infra (warehousing and industrial) segment, Macrotech added two new locations in NCR and Chennai and also acquired its joint venture partner’s stake in the existing platform, further strengthening its logistics and industrial real estate portfolio.

Strategic Expansion in Pune

Highlighting its focus on regional dominance, the company announced the addition of two new projects in Pune with a GDV of ₹4,300 crore, taking its presence to nine locations in the city. “This sets us on the path to further increase our market share and continue to grow towards becoming the No. 1 developer in Pune,” Macrotech stated.

Ongoing Legal Dispute Over ‘Lodha’ Brand Name

Meanwhile, Macrotech Developers, led by Abhishek Lodha, is currently engaged in a legal battle with the House of Abhinandan Lodha, a firm established by his younger brother, over the use of the ‘Lodha’ brand name.

Despite the legal dispute, Macrotech continues to demonstrate strong performance and aggressive expansion, solidifying its position as one of India’s largest listed real estate developers.

Stock Performance 

On April 08, 2025, Macrotech Developers share price traded 1.98% higher at ₹1,129.65 at 9:41 AM (IST). Macrotech Developers’ share price reached a 52-week high of ₹1,648.00, and a 52-week low of ₹1,036.00. As per BSE, the total traded volume for the stock stood at 9,638 shares with a turnover of ₹1.08 crore.

According to exchange data, Macrotech Developers shares are trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 57.61x, based on its trailing 12-month earnings per share (EPS) of ₹19.61, and a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 6.38.

Conclusion 

Macrotech Developers has delivered a strong performance in FY25, surpassing its pre-sales and project acquisition targets while maintaining steady growth momentum.

With strategic expansion in key markets like Pune and an increased focus on digital infrastructure, the company is positioning itself for long-term leadership in the real estate sector.

Zee Entertainment Shares Rise Over 2% After NCLAT Rejects IDBI’s Insolvency Plea

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has dismissed IDBI Bank’s plea seeking insolvency proceedings against Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (ZEEL). The appellate body upheld the earlier decision of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), which had rejected the bank’s plea.

The ruling is a relief for Zee Entertainment, which had opposed the initiation of insolvency proceedings and the issuance of any notice in this regard.

Tribunal Allows Liberty for Fresh Plea

While dismissing the appeal, the NCLAT has granted IDBI Bank the liberty to file a fresh application against Zee Entertainment for defaults that occurred beyond the COVID-19 moratorium period. The appellate tribunal stated that the lender can pursue a fresh case if the alleged defaults are found to be outside the protection window provided during the pandemic.

IDBI Bank had approached the NCLAT after the Mumbai bench of the NCLT rejected its insolvency plea in May 2023. The appellate body had first agreed to hear the matter in August 2023.

Loan Guarantee Linked to Siti Networks

In its original petition, IDBI Bank claimed that Zee had provided a guarantee for loans extended to Siti Networks through a Debt Service Reserve Account (DSRA) mechanism. The bank argued that the DSRA was to be maintained by Siti Networks, and that Zee, having issued the guarantee, was liable for any shortfalls.

The bank added that Zee was informed of the shortfall in the DSRA and was thus responsible for addressing the default. Zee, however, countered the claims, challenging the very basis of the insolvency plea and urging its dismissal.

Stock Performance 

On April 08, 2025, Zee Entertainment Enterprises share price traded 2.73% higher at ₹99.83 at 9:21 AM (IST). Zee Entertainment Enterprises share price reached a 52-week high of ₹168.70, and a 52-week low of ₹89.29. As per BSE, the total traded volume for the stock stood at 0.39 lakh shares with a turnover of ₹39.47 lakhs.

According to exchange data, Zee Entertainment Enterprises shares are trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 15.22x, based on its trailing 12-month earnings per share (EPS) of ₹6.56, and a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 0.92.

Conclusion

The NCLAT’s dismissal of IDBI Bank’s insolvency plea offers short-term relief for Zee Entertainment, though the door remains open for future legal action based on post-Covid defaults. The ruling reinforces the importance of clearly defined liabilities during moratorium periods.

Dalal Street Wipes Out ₹29.03 Trillion in Market Cap Since March 2025 Peak Amid Global Tariff Turmoil

Bears have taken firm control of Dalal Street, dragging the market capitalisation (market-cap) of Indian listed companies down by a staggering ₹29.03 trillion since March 24, 2025, according to the BSE data. The steep fall comes as global risk-off sentiment intensified following escalating tariff tensions between the United States and China.

Tariff War Triggers Massive Sell-Off

The Indian stock market had staged a commendable recovery of over 8% from its lows in September 2024, lifted by optimism in global equities and domestic macro resilience. However, that momentum reversed sharply after March 24, when fresh tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump triggered widespread panic across global financial markets.

President Trump slapped a massive 54% tariff on Chinese exports to the U.S., a move aimed at curbing trade imbalances and protecting American manufacturers. In response, China retaliated with a 34% tariff on all U.S. imports, escalating fears of a full-blown trade war. The escalating standoff sent shockwaves through equity markets globally, and Indian equities were no exception.

On Monday, April 07, 2025 benchmark indices witnessed their worst single-day performance since June 4, 2024. The 30-share BSE Sensex plummeted 3,939 points during intraday trade to touch a low of 71,425.01, while the NSE Nifty50 breached the critical 21,800 mark, hitting an intraday low of 21,743.

Broader Market Bleeds; Metals and Banks Among Worst Hit

In the Nifty 500 index, only 40 companies managed to see an uptick in market cap since March 24. Of these, 13 companies registered gains of less than 1%, reflecting the breadth of the downturn.

Notable gainers included Tata Consumer Products, which saw a 7% rise in market cap, while Aster DM Healthcare, BSE, and Vardhman Textiles posted gains slightly above 10%. These few outperformers were overshadowed by the widespread sell-off that gripped the broader market.

Among the top losers by market cap were public sector banks and metal stocks. Central Bank of India, KPIT Technologies,Anant Raj,National Aluminium Company (NALCO), and UCO Bank were among the biggest losers in the Nifty 500 universe.

Major names from the metal space took a significant hit, with Vedanta, Hindustan Copper, and Hindalco Industries each shedding over 20% of their market value. Tata group firms Tata Motors and Tata Steel also suffered sharp declines, each losing nearly 20% of their market capitalisation.

Volatility Surges as Risk Sentiment Deteriorates

India’s market volatility gauge, the India VIX, surged 60% during Monday’s trade, marking one of the sharpest single-day increases in recent times. The sudden spike in volatility followed China’s aggressive retaliatory tariffs, which rattled investor confidence and sent traders scrambling to hedge their exposures.

The current surge in India VIX echoes previous volatility spikes in the recent past — most notably in August 2024, when the unwinding of Japanese yen carry trades led to a global market selloff, and in June 2024, ahead of the Lok Sabha election results.

Market participants now remain on edge as geopolitical tensions and concerns over global growth prospects continue to weigh on investor sentiment. Analysts expect volatility to remain elevated in the coming sessions unless clarity emerges on the evolving U.S.-China trade dynamics.

Conclusion 

The recent sell-off on Dalal Street highlights the fragility of market sentiment in the face of global geopolitical tensions. The sharp correction, driven by US-China tariff escalations, has erased months of recovery and wiped out significant investor wealth.

With volatility surging and uncertainty prevailing, investors are likely to remain cautious. Market stability will hinge on developments in global trade relations and domestic economic resilience in the coming weeks.

Kalyan Jewellers Shares Slide Over 4% Despite Strong Q4 Revenue Growth Driven by Wedding Demand

In a mixed bag of quarterly updates, shares of Kalyan Jewellers declined over 4% on Monday, April 7, after the company released its business update for the fourth quarter of FY25. At ₹465.85 apiece, the stock was down 4.37%, extending its year-to-date loss to nearly 40%.

Strong Domestic Growth, But Digital Arm Falters

The company reported around 39% revenue growth in its India operations for the March quarter compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by robust wedding demand. It also posted a healthy same-store-sales growth (SSSG) of 21% during the period.

Kalyan launched 25 new showrooms across India in Q4, and three more in the first week of April 2025, signaling continued expansion momentum.

However, performance of its digital-first jewellery platform Candere remained weak, with a 22% revenue decline year-on-year, despite the launch of 14 new Candere showrooms during the quarter.

Middle East Sees Growth; 388 Total Showrooms

In the Middle East, Kalyan Jewellers saw around 24% revenue growth over the same quarter last year, driven largely by strong SSSG. This business contributed approximately 12% to the company’s consolidated revenue.

As of March 31, 2025, Kalyan operated 388 showrooms globally, including:

  • 270 in India (Kalyan format)
  • 36 in the Middle East
  • 1 in the US
  • 73 Candere showrooms in India

Aggressive Expansion Plans for FY26

Looking ahead, the company has reiterated plans to launch 170 showrooms across both Kalyan and Candere formats in FY26. This includes:

  • 75 franchise-owned company-operated (FOCO) Kalyan showrooms in non-South India
  • 15 FOCO Kalyan showrooms in South India and international markets
  • 80 new Candere showrooms across India
    Kalyan confirmed that it has already signed letters of intent for all the FOCO-format expansions.

The company also expressed optimism about the ongoing first quarter of FY26, citing strong advance bookings for Akshaya Tritiya and the upcoming wedding season.

Conclusion 

Kalyan Jewellers reported strong Q4 revenue growth in India (39%) and the Middle East (24%), driven by wedding demand and same-store sales.

However, shares fell 4.37% due to a 22% decline in digital arm Candere’s revenue. Despite this, the company remains optimistic, planning to launch 170 new showrooms in FY26 across India and international markets.

Blood Bath in Indian Markets: ₹20 Lakh Crore Lost as Sensex Crashes 2900 Points, Nifty Below 21,800

In a dramatic start to the trading week, Indian benchmark indices witnessed a massive sell-off on Monday, April 7, as fears of a global trade war triggered a steep fall in equities worldwide.

The BSE Sensex plummeted 3,379.19 points or 4.48% to open at ₹71,985.50, while the Nifty 50 dropped 901.05 points or 3.93% to ₹22,003.40, marking their worst opening since March 2020.

The sell-off followed renewed concerns over U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff policies, which rattled global investor sentiment over the weekend.

Wall Street futures tumbled nearly 4% on Sunday evening, sending shockwaves through the Asia-Pacific region, where major benchmarks fell between 4% and 6%.

₹20 Lakh Crore Wiped Out as Bears Dominate the Market

The rout wasn’t limited to frontline indices. The Nifty Midcap index slumped 4%, while the Nifty Smallcap index tanked 5%. Market volatility soared, with India VIX surging over 52%, reflecting heightened investor anxiety. The sharp downturn wiped out around ₹20 lakh crore in market capitalisation on the NSE.

Market analysts said the panic selling was part of a broader “risk-off” sentiment across global markets, with investors rushing to reduce exposure amid escalating trade tensions. Traders are expected to remain cautious as global developments unfold.

Sectoral Bloodbath: 12 Nifty Stocks Hit 52-Week Lows

All 50 stocks on the Nifty index opened in the red, with 80% of them posting losses of over 4%. Trent emerged as the biggest loser, falling over 13.5%, followed by Tata Steel (−9%), Tata Motors (−7.6%), and ONGC and Hindalco (over −6% each).

Other heavyweights including HCL Tech, L&T, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, Bajaj Auto, and TCS shed more than 5% each. Stocks like Hero Moto, Adani Enterprises, Jio Financial, Shriram Finance, Wipro, RIL, Adani Ports, Coal India, Kotak Bank, and IndusInd Bank also registered losses exceeding 3.5%.

Twelve Nifty stocks were trading at their 52-week lows, including Tata Motors, Titan, Bajaj Auto, TCS, RIL, ONGC, Hindalco, L&T, Hero Moto, Dr Reddy’s, Infosys, and Cipla.

Metals and IT Lead the Fall

The Nifty Metal index was the worst hit, plunging over 7% amid worries about reduced global demand and retaliatory tariffs. The Nifty IT index followed closely, declining nearly 6% as fears of a global recession weighed on export-driven tech companies.

The Nifty Auto and Nifty Realty indices also dropped 5% each. The Nifty Bank, Nifty Financial Services, Nifty PSU Bank, and Nifty Private Bank indices all fell over 3%. Meanwhile, the Nifty Pharma and Nifty FMCG indices showed relative resilience, losing 2.7% and 1.6%, respectively.

Conclusion 

Monday’s steep sell-off underscores the vulnerability of Indian equities to global shocks, especially amid rising geopolitical and economic uncertainties. The massive erosion of ₹20 lakh crore in market wealth reflects deep investor unease, with all major sectors and indices reeling under pressure.

Until clarity emerges on global trade tensions, particularly involving the U.S., markets are likely to remain volatile, prompting investors to adopt a cautious and risk-averse approach in the near term.

SEBI Unveils Framework for PaRRVA to Curb Misleading Performance Claims

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Friday issued the operational framework for its new performance validation agency—the Past Risk and Return Verification Agency (PaRRVA). This initiative aims to regulate and verify claims about past performance made in advertisements by intermediaries like investment advisors, research analysts, and stock brokers.

Pilot Phase and Objectives

To start, the verification services under PaRRVA will be launched on a two-month pilot basis, during which feedback will be collected from stakeholders to fine-tune the process. According to a SEBI circular, the goal of the framework is to prevent misleading advertisements and ensure greater transparency in the marketing of financial products and services.

Eligibility and Role of Verification Agencies

As per SEBI’s guidelines, only credit rating agencies (CRAs) meeting strict eligibility criteria will be recognised as performance verification agencies under the PaRRVA framework. To qualify, a CRA must have:

  • A minimum of 15 years of operational experience
  • A net worth of at least ₹100 crore
  • A robust investor grievance redressal mechanism, including an Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) system

SEBI will grant official recognition to qualifying CRAs after an assessment. These agencies will also be required to partner with a recognised stock exchange, which will serve as the PaRRVA Data Centre (PDC).

Responsibilities of the PDC and Verification Standards

The designated PDC will be tasked with collecting data from mutual funds, stock exchanges, and other financial entities. It will also be responsible for building and maintaining the verification system while upholding data security and confidentiality.

PaRRVA itself will define the methodologies used for performance verification, manage disputes and grievances, and retain records of verified data for a minimum of five years. In case of any dispute between the agency and intermediaries, issues will first be handled internally, and unresolved matters can be escalated to the ODR platform.

Disclaimers and Oversight

SEBI has mandated that any use of verified risk-return metrics in promotional material must be accompanied by clear disclaimers. These disclaimers will note that:

  • Past performance is not indicative of future results
  • Verified returns do not guarantee assured returns
  • Risk-return metrics should not be the sole basis for investment decisions
  • Verified returns may differ from actual returns received by clients

To ensure accountability, an oversight committee will be formed to supervise both the PaRRVA and the PDC. Additionally, SEBI reserves the right to inspect its activities and enforce compliance where necessary.

Conclusion 

SEBI’s introduction of the PaRRVA framework marks a significant step toward enhancing transparency and accountability in financial product promotions.

By mandating strict eligibility norms and verification protocols, the regulator aims to protect investors from misleading claims.

The pilot phase and oversight mechanisms reflect SEBI’s commitment to refining the system before full-scale implementation, ensuring robust investor safeguards.

IndusInd Bank Shares Drop Over 3% Following Q4 FY25 Business Update

Shares of IndusInd Bank fell over 3% on Monday, April 7, 2025, after the private sector lender released a mixed set of operational metrics for the fourth quarter of FY25. While the bank posted moderate year-on-year (YoY) growth in advances and deposits, sequential performance was weaker, especially in corporate lending.

Advances Up Year-on-Year, but Sequential Decline Raises Concerns

In its Q4 FY25 business update, IndusInd Bank reported net advances of ₹3.47 lakh crore, reflecting a 1.4% YoY growth, but a 5.2% decline quarter-on-quarter (QoQ). The sequential drop in advances signals a slowdown in lending momentum towards the end of the fiscal year.

The bank’s corporate banking segment saw notable weakness, with net advances contracting 4.9% YoY and 15.1% QoQ. However, its consumer banking segment performed better, recording a 6.3% YoY and 3.4% QoQ increase in net advances.

CASA Ratio Deteriorates Despite Steady Deposit Growth

Total deposits at the end of March 2025 stood at ₹4.11 lakh crore, marking a 6.8% YoY and 0.4% QoQ increase. However, the Current Account Savings Account (CASA) ratio slipped sharply to 32.8%, down from 37.9% a year ago and 34.9% in the previous quarter, indicating a shift towards more expensive term deposits.

Retail and small business deposits also saw a marginal decline, standing at ₹1.85 lakh crore as of March 31, 2025, compared to ₹1.88 lakh crore at the end of the December quarter.

Liquidity Position Remains Healthy

Despite operational challenges, the bank maintained a comfortable liquidity profile. The daily average Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) for Q4 FY25 stood at 118.4%, with the LCR as of March 31, 2025, rising to 136.2%—well above regulatory requirements, suggesting adequate buffers to meet short-term obligations.

Stock Performance 

On April 07, 2025, IndusInd Bank share price traded 3.94% lower at ₹655.35 at 9:45 AM (IST). IndusInd Bank’s share price reached a 52-week high of ₹1,576.00, and a 52-week low of ₹605.40. As per BSE, the total traded volume for the stock stood at 2.68 lakh shares with a turnover of ₹17.52 lakhs.

According to exchange data, IndusInd Bank shares are trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 7.06x, based on its trailing 12-month earnings per share (EPS) of ₹92.75, and a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 0.78.

Conclusion

While the consumer banking division continues to show resilience, the pressure in the corporate loan book and declining CASA ratio present challenges for IndusInd Bank. Investors appeared cautious following the update, reflected in Monday’s stock price correction, as the bank navigates growth headwinds and shifting deposit dynamics in a competitive lending environment.

Foreign Investors Pull Out ₹10,355 Crore from Indian Equities Amid Global Tariff Shock

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have pulled out ₹10,355 crore from Indian equity markets over the last four trading sessions of April (April 1 to April 4), as global markets reel from sweeping tariffs imposed by the United States on several nations, including India. The sudden policy shift has sparked investor anxiety and triggered a sharp risk-off sentiment globally.

Tariff Impact Reverberates Across Markets

The outflows from India follow the imposition of wide-ranging tariffs by the US, which have heightened trade tensions and cast a shadow over global economic stability. 

The uncertainty has not only led to foreign capital exiting emerging markets like India but also triggered a massive sell-off in the US itself. Over just two days, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes plunged more than 10%, underscoring the scale of investor panic.

Reversal After Short-Lived Buying Spree

The April outflow came on the heels of a brief period of strong buying. Between March 21 and March 28, FPIs made a net infusion of ₹30,927 crore into Indian equities. 

This helped bring down the overall net outflow for March to ₹3,973 crore. Despite this temporary reversal, the broader trend has remained negative.

In February, FPIs had already withdrawn ₹34,574 crore, following an even steeper outflow of ₹78,027 crore in January. With the latest pullback, the cumulative outflow by foreign investors from Indian equities has now reached a staggering ₹1.27 trillion so far in 2025.

Debt Segment Also Sees Withdrawals

The selling pressure wasn’t limited to equities alone. In the debt markets, FPIs pulled out ₹556 crore from the debt general limit and another ₹4,038 crore from the debt voluntary retention route. 

The continued capital flight reflects a growing caution among global investors, driven by geopolitical uncertainties and tightening financial conditions worldwide.

Conclusion 

The sharp FPI outflows signal rising global investor unease amid escalating trade tensions and volatile market conditions. 

With both equity and debt segments affected, sustained foreign capital withdrawal may continue to weigh on Indian markets. Going forward, investor sentiment will hinge on global economic developments, US policy clarity, and India’s macroeconomic resilience in navigating external shocks.

Top-10 Firms Lose ₹2.9 Lakh Crore in Mcap; TCS, RIL Worst Hit

In a holiday-shortened week marked by a significant downturn in the domestic equity markets, nine of the ten most valued Indian companies collectively lost a staggering ₹2,94,170.16 crore in market capitalisation. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) recorded the steepest fall, reflecting the broader negative sentiment that gripped Dalal Street.

Indian Indices in Red 

The benchmark indices registered sharp losses during the week. The BSE Sensex plummeted by 2,050.23 points or 2.64%, while the NSE Nifty tumbled by 614.8 points, translating to a 2.61% decline.

This overall market weakness impacted the valuations of most major firms, with only one company in the top-10 managing to buck the trend.

TCS, Reliance Among Top Losers

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) emerged as the biggest loser in terms of market value erosion, witnessing a sharp fall of ₹1,10,351.67 crore. The company’s market capitalisation dropped to ₹11,93,769.89 crore.

Reliance Industries followed with a decline of ₹95,132.58 crore in its m-cap, bringing its valuation down to ₹16,30,244.96 crore. Infosys also faced a major setback, losing ₹49,050.04 crore to settle at ₹6,03,178.45 crore.

Other major companies also faced notable declines in their market capitalisations. Bajaj Finance lost ₹14,127.07 crore, bringing its valuation down to ₹5,40,588.05 crore.

ICICI Bank saw its market cap shrink by ₹9,503.66 crore to ₹9,43,264.95 crore, while HDFC Bank registered a dip of ₹8,800.05 crore, with its valuation settling at ₹13,90,408.68 crore.

Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) experienced a decline of ₹3,500.89 crore, reducing its market value to ₹5,27,354.01 crore.

Meanwhile, the State Bank of India (SBI) and ITC also recorded losses of ₹3,391.35 crore and ₹312.85 crore, taking their respective market capitalisations to ₹6,84,940.55 crore and ₹5,19,155.89 crore.

Bharti Airtel Defies the Trend

Bharti Airtel was the sole company among the top 10 most-valued firms to post a gain during the week. The telecom major added ₹7,013.59 crore to its market capitalisation, which rose to ₹9,94,019.51 crore.

Reliance Maintains Top Spot Despite Weekly Rout

Despite the heavy losses across the board, Reliance Industries retained its position as the most valuable Indian company. It was followed by HDFC Bank, TCS, Bharti Airtel, ICICI Bank, SBI, Infosys, Bajaj Finance, HUL, and ITC in the rankings of the top 10 most valued firms by market capitalisation.

Conclusion 

The sharp erosion in market capitalisation among India’s top companies highlights the volatility and investor caution currently gripping the domestic equity markets. With benchmark indices posting steep declines, even industry giants like TCS and Reliance Industries were not spared.

Bharti Airtel’s solitary gain offered a rare bright spot. As market sentiment remains fragile, investors will be closely watching upcoming economic cues and corporate earnings for signs of stability and recovery.
