HDB Financial Services, Sambhv Steel Tubes shares trade volatile as IPO lock-in period ends
Conversely, shares of Sambhv Steel Tubes fell by nearly 6% due to the release of around 10 million shares, which also represents about 3% of the firm's total equity.
As per the company's red herring prospectus (RHP), half of the equity shares assigned to anchor investors within the anchor investor portion will be subject to a lock-in period of 90 days starting from the date of allotment, while the other half of the equity shares allocated to anchor investors in the same portion will be locked in for a period of 30 days from the date of allotment.
Experts state that lock-in periods are restrictions set over a specific duration that prevent certain shareholders, typically promoters, pre-IPO investors, or employees, from selling their shares after the company goes public.
This regulatory measure is designed to stop major stakeholders from unloading their shares immediately following the listing, thereby contributing to stability during the initial trading days.
Historically, the expiration of lock-in periods tends to attract the interest of investors, as the rise in freely tradable shares can influence the liquidity of the stock. Although the actual impact can differ based on overall market sentiment and factors unique to the company, such occurrences are monitored closely by market participants, particularly in the first few months of a newly listed company's trading period.
Earlier this month, HDB Financial Services announced a slight decrease in net profit for the first quarter of FY26, reporting a profit after tax of ₹ 568 crore. This reflects a 2% drop from ₹ 582 crore during the same quarter last year.
Nevertheless, the bank achieved a strong operational performance, with net interest income (NII) climbing 18% year-on-year (YoY) to ₹ 2,092 crore, supported by robust growth in advances and a general rise in interest-earning assets.
In the first quarter of FY26, Sambhv Steel Tubes' net profit rose by 34.89% year-over-year, amounting to Rs. 33.40 crore compared to Rs. 24.76 crore in the same quarter last year. Compared to the fourth quarter of FY25, the net profit jumped by 102.92%, up from Rs. 16.46 crore.
The company's revenue from operations increased by 68.89% year-over-year, rising from ₹ 330.77 crore in Q1 FY25 to ₹ 558.63 crore in Q1 FY26, and saw a growth of 12.80% quarter-over-quarter from ₹ 495.26 crore in Q4 FY25. Additionally, the company's EBITDA grew by 58.04%, climbing from Rs. 46 crore in Q1 FY25 to ₹ 72.7 crore in Q1 FY26.

Indian Army makes big defence deal, will buy 212 tank transporter trailers that will enhance military operational capability
(Image: ANI) New Delhi: The Indian Army on Friday, 1 August, signed an agreement of Rs 223.95 crore with Axiscades Aerospace and Technologies Private Limited. Under this, 212 state-of-the-art 50-tonne tank transporter trailers will be purchased. This deal is an important step towards increasing the operational mobility capability of the army and supporting the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan. This agreement was signed under the Indian-IDDM category. This agreement gives priority to indigenous design, development and manufacturing. This will strengthen self-reliance in the defence sector. These trailers are equipped with hydraulic/pneumatic ramps and steerable and liftable axles. These will make it easier to transport tanks and armoured vehicles to difficult areas. These trailers will add to the operational strength of the army and greatly enhance the logistics and operational capabilities of the army, and will act as a force multiplier. This deal will boost the indigenous defence manufacturing sector and will also create permanent employment opportunities. This is a sign of strong preparation for future challenges. Earlier, the Indian Army conducted the high-tech Divya Drishti exercise in Sikkim on 28 July. The exercise, conducted in the high-altitude areas of East Sikkim, tested new technologies designed to improve battlefield awareness, real-time surveillance and quick decision-making. The soldiers of the Tri Shakti Corps used a combination of ground-based systems and aerial platforms, including UAVs and drones, to execute real scenarios. Its special feature was the use of AI sensors. These sensors were connected to advanced communication systems. This arrangement ensured smooth and secure data flow between the command centres and helped in increasing situational awareness as well as making accurate decisions, i.e. a strong sensor-to-shooter link was created.

MNNIT team develops advanced oil seal to boost two-wheeler performance
Prayagraj: In a significant breakthrough, a team of mechanical engineers at MNNIT Prayagraj has undertaken a pioneering project to design a leakage-resistant oil seal for motorcycle and scooter shock absorbers. Led by assistant professor Tej Pratap, the six-month initiative is backed by the Hero Group with an Rs 8.1 lakh grant, aiming to enhance ride quality and reduce maintenance costs. Unlike conventional efforts to redesign entire shock absorbers, this focused initiative targets the oil seal — a small but critical component that prevents hydraulic oil from leaking out of the shocker assembly. Leakage not only reduces suspension efficiency, but also damages internal shocker components, ultimately forcing vehicle owners to replace the entire unit or incur repeated repair costs. The MNNIT project aims to develop an advanced oil seal using new materials and seal geometries that can effectively eliminate this recurring problem. Pratap explained that the new seal design would enhance internal sealing strength, thereby preventing oil seepage even under high-stress and high-temperature conditions. The development process includes prototype fabrication, rigorous lab testing, and eventually, field testing in collaboration with Hero's R&D wing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Struggling With Belly Fat?

Working alongside Pratap are Abhishek Tiwari and Ashutosh Mishra from the Applied Mechanics Department. To meet project timelines, MNNIT is also appointing a dedicated project assistant with a stipend of Rs 30,000 per month. The team expects to deliver a working prototype within the next few months. This collaboration underscores a larger trend of industry-academia partnerships in solving practical engineering challenges. With this innovation, Hero Group and MNNIT aim to set a new standard for component reliability in India's booming two-wheeler market.
