Zomato share price has been falling for 5 consecutive trading sessions due to weak market sentiment. Over the past 5 days, the stock has lost more than 11.23%.

On Tuesday, Zomato’s stock dropped another 5%, hitting an intraday low of ₹200 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).

Stock Market Trends

The Indian stock market opened in the red on March 11. The BSE Sensex fell to 73,668 before recovering slightly. By 11:23 AM, the Sensex was down 188 points (0.25%) at 73,927.15, while the NSE Nifty 50 gained 33 points (0.15%) to trade at 22,426.65.

Zomato to Change Name to Eternal Ltd

Zomato’s shareholders have approved a special resolution to rename the company as Eternal Ltd. The change applies only to the corporate entity and will not affect the Zomato brand or app.

Along with the name change, shareholders also approved modifications to the company’s Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA). The approval came through a postal ballot, as per company letters dated February 6 and 7.

This decision is part of Zomato’s long-term strategic vision. The voting results were published in the scrutinizer’s report on March 9.

Zomato’s Q3 FY25 Financial Results

Zomato reported a 57% drop in net profit, falling to ₹59 crore in Q3 FY25 from ₹138 crore in the same quarter last year. Sequentially, net profit declined 66.5% from ₹176 crore in Q2 FY25.

The profit decline was mainly due to higher expenses related to expanding its quick-commerce arm, Blinkit. Despite this, Zomato’s revenue surged 64.9% year-on-year to ₹5,405 crore in Q3, compared to ₹3,288 crore in Q3FY24. Quarter-on-quarter, revenue rose 12.6% from ₹4,799 crore in Q2FY25.

Conclusion

Zomato’s stock has taken a hit due to weak market conditions and falling profits. However, strong revenue growth and business expansion may attract long-term investors. The stock’s decline could present a buying opportunity for those looking at Zomato’s future potential.

HEG share price rose 5% in early trade on Tuesday after the company announced a fundraising update. The stock opened at ₹408 on the NSE, gaining over 5% from the previous close of ₹387.80. It later touched an intraday high of ₹416, rising more than 4.5% even as broader markets remained weak. The Nifty 50 index was down 0.5% due to weak global cues.

HEG’s Fundraising Announcement

On March 10, 2025, HEG’s board approved a ₹500 crore investment into its subsidiary, Bhilwara Energy Ltd (BEL). Singularity Growth Opportunities Fund will invest ₹250 crore initially, with an option to invest another ₹250 crore later.

Nazara Technologies is stepping into the short-form video space by investing $250,000 (₹ 2.17 crore) in ReelSaga Innovations Private Limited. This investment gives Nazara a 3.57% stake in the company, marking its entry into the growing short-form drama segment.

ReelSaga’s Focus on Bite-Sized Content

Nodwin and Rusk also partnered on “Playground,” a gaming entertainment show now in its fourth season on Amazon MX Player.

Other Recent Acquisitions

Nazara has been expanding its presence in influencer-driven content. It recently acquired a 10.77% stake in influencer marketing platform Kofluence for ₹32.4 crore. In 2021, it also acquired OpenPlay from Kofluence’s co-founder for ₹186.4 crore.

Growing Interest in Interactive Entertainment

Mukesh Ambani, Asia’s richest businessman, is facing new challenges as US trade policies could impact his business empire. If former US President Donald Trump returns to power, changes in trade regulations may create obstacles for Indian companies, particularly Reliance Industries.

Trade Tensions Between the US and India

The US has criticised India’s high tariffs, and there are concerns that any trade dispute could affect multiple industries. American companies have struggled to expand in India due to restrictive regulations. If the US pushes for policy changes, large Indian companies like Reliance, which benefit from these restrictions, could lose their advantage.

Reliance Retail and Jio Platforms at Risk

Reliance has invested $50 billion in its retail and digital businesses since 2020. These businesses contribute significantly to its $200 billion market value and are preparing for stock market listings. However, the retail division is undergoing restructuring, and analysts have reduced its valuation.

Reliance’s Jio telecom service, with 500 million users, faces competition from Elon Musk’s Starlink, which may enter India without having to bid for telecom spectrum. If Starlink offers cheaper internet, Reliance could lose premium customers, affecting its revenues. Jio’s average revenue per user has grown by 12% over the past year but remains low at just over $2 per month.

Reliance’s Retail Business and Foreign Competition

Reliance Retail benefits from rules that limit foreign companies like Walmart and Amazon from directly selling products or offering heavy discounts. However, Trump’s recent meeting with Walmart CEO Doug McMillon suggests the US may push for regulatory changes. If Walmart’s Flipkart and Amazon gain more freedom in India, Reliance Retail could face stronger competition.

Oil Business Faces Geopolitical Uncertainty

Reliance’s traditional oil and chemicals business is also under pressure. Ambani previously secured deals to buy Venezuelan crude oil despite US sanctions, but future deals may be tougher. The company has relied on cheaper Russian oil, but Trump may push India to buy more expensive American oil, which could reduce Reliance’s refining profits.

Additionally, China’s increased supply of petrochemicals is lowering global prices, making it difficult for Reliance to maintain high-profit margins.

Succession Planning and Future Investments

Reliance is currently transitioning leadership to Ambani’s children. His youngest son, Anant Ambani, leads the energy division and is responsible for the company’s $9 billion investment in renewable energy. However, its battery factory has missed a key performance goal, and the Indian government is demanding compensation due to missed targets under an incentive program.

Conclusion

Reliance faces hurdles from US trade policies, foreign competition, and internal challenges.
