Aqua Line extension till Boraki multi-modal hub gets Centre's nod
The 2.6-km-long elevated stretch will add two new stations—Junpat and Boraki—at a cost of Rs 416 crore. The project is expected to be ready in three years.
The metro corridor extension is to take the Aqua Line to the proposed multi-modal transport hub at Boraki, where UP govt plans to integrate the Delhi-Howrah rail corridor with an inter-state bus terminal and rapid rail till Ghaziabad. The Greater Noida rail station at Boraki is being designed as NCR's gateway to the eastern part of the country.

Officials said the move is part of a broader strategy to ease pressure on road traffic and strengthen connectivity to the airport from parts of Noida and Delhi—a draft plan to extend Aqua Line's Sector 142 station till Botanical Garden is already being reviewed by the Centre. The existing Botanical Garden station in Noida already acts as an interchange metro station between the Blue Line and Magenta Line corridors of the Delhi Metro.

Mahendra Prasad, executive director of the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC), told TOI that a rapid rail corridor from Ghaziabad to Jewar via Boraki is also on the drawing boards. "Once both the corridors are operational, it will become easier for commuters from Noida and Greater Noida to reach the airport," he said.
The funding for the new metro corridor will be shared by the Centre and UP govt (20% each), with the remaining 60% coming through a loan from the National Capital Region Planning Board.
NMRC estimates that ridership on the new segment could reach 60,000 daily by 2031.
The Aqua Line currently runs 29.7km between Sector 51 in Noida and Depot Station in Jaitpur. NMRC has also proposed a 17-km extension from Sector 51 to Knowledge Park V in Greater Noida, which awaits clearance from the Centre. Similarly, the 11.6km corridor linking Sector 142 station to Botanical Garden via eight new stations is pending approval from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. The current Aqua Line sees a daily average ridership of nearly 57,000 passengers, according to NMRC data.

Indian equity indices decline as company valuations trip on disappointing earnings
Kumar said that 24,000-24,400 is a key support level with some value buying likely to emerge at 24,000 levels, but markets are likely to be in a short-term downtrend. Synopsis Indian equity indices experienced a third consecutive session of decline due to disappointing first-quarter earnings, raising concerns about market valuations. The broader market witnessed a sharper downturn, particularly in mid-cap and small-cap stocks, as investors reduced risky positions amid growing uncertainty. Foreign portfolio investors were net sellers, contributing to the overall bearish sentiment. Mumbai: Indian equity indices declined on Monday for the third straight session as disappointing first-quarter earnings cast doubt on the market's elevated valuations. The slide in the broader market was sharper, with investors trimming their risky bets amid heightening uncertainty. ADVERTISEMENT The NSE Nifty fell 0.6% or 156 points to finish at 24,680. The BSE Sensex moved 0.7% or 572.07 points lower at 80,891. The Nifty Mid-cap 150 and Small-cap 250 indices dropped 0.9% and 1.3% respectively. In the past week, the benchmark index shed 1.6% while the mid-cap and small-cap indices shed 3.1% and 4.1% each. "The market has been factoring in higher growth expectations into mid-cap and small-cap stocks," said Siddarth Bhamre, Head of Research, Asit C Mehta Intermediates. "So if these companies report lower growth numbers in the earnings, the selloff is that much more pronounced because the higher growth led these stocks to command a higher valuation multiple." 'Sell on Rise' Market Bhamre said that expectations of 25-30% growth from these companies imply a valuation of 40-50 times, which is significantly higher than the rest of the market.

Bank Nifty fell 0.8% while the private bank and PSU Bank indices dropped 1.7% and 1.2% Volatility Index or VIX-the market's fear gauge-gained 7% to 12.1 on Monday, indicating traders expect higher risks in the near term.

Should investors subscribe to the upcoming NSDL IPO amid market uncertainty?
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel Mumbai: Investors looking for a relatively cheaper bet on India's flourishing capital markets could consider putting money in the upcoming initial public offering (IPO) of National Securities Depository (NSDL), said ₹4,011 crore issue, which is set to open for public subscription on Wednesday, is priced at ₹760-800 per share."We believe the NSDL IPO is attractively priced, and would suggest investors subscribe to the issue," said Geetanjali Kedia, IPO expert at SPTulsian Investment Adviser. "It operates in a duopoly within a growing Indian capital market, making it a good long-term bet as well."The issue is entirely an offer for sale by existing shareholders. The IPO is priced at 47 times FY25 Price to earnings (P/E), compared with its listed peer CDSL 's 67 times, as per SBI Securities Narendra Solanki, head of Fundamental Research - Investment Services, Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers, said investors could subscribe to the IPO and hold the stock for at least a year. "It should be noted that the issue is coming at a discount to the previously anticipated price," he NSDL IPO, which was to debut on the Indian bourses by July 31, had been delayed due to lengthy negotiations around the stock valuations. Kedia said the IPO pricing adequately factors in NSDL's relatively moderate financial position compared to CDSL, despite being a high ROE (return on equity) business with 24% net margins. In the grey market, NSDL currently commands a premium of Rs 137 per share. However, it has declined from Rs 166 on Thursday, the day before its price-band grey market premiums (GMPs) are the additional price that investors are willing to pay over the IPO price in the grey market before the stock lists on the stock exchange. A higher premium indicates the market sentiment for the IPO in question. GMPs of IPOs with robust demand tend to be high, which implies a potential upside in the stock on listing. A dampener for the NSDL's IPO would be the weak first-quarter results from its larger rival CDSL. CDSL's consolidated net profit in the June quarter rose 2% from the previous quarter. However, it declined nearly 24% from the same period a year ago. The stock dropped 5.6% on Monday.'CDSL's weaker-than-expected results and a 5% stock drop may hamper some investor sentiment ahead of NSDL's initial public offering, given both are Sebi-regulated depositories,' said Solanki. 'In the near term, CDSL's miss may weigh on NSDL's debut, but over time, a successful NSDL listing could benefit both.'
