FPIs infuse ₹5260 cr in Indian equities this week: NSDL
The data highlighted that FPIs were net buyers on all trading days of the week, signalling positive investor sentiment towards Indian markets. The highest net investment was recorded on Tuesday, with FPIs investing ₹ 2,771 crore in equities on that single day.
With this week's inflows, the total net investment by foreign investors in the equity segment for the month of July has reached ₹ 3,839 crore. This marks a recovery from the previous week, which had seen some selling activity by FPIs.
Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research at Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services, told ANI that FII activity is expected to remain subdued in the upcoming week as the market may see increased volatility due to ongoing uncertainty around US trade negotiations.
"President Donald Trump's plan to impose blanket tariffs of 15 per cent or 20 per cent on most trade partners adds to the cautiousness," he said.
Khemka added that investors will be closely watching key domestic macroeconomic indicators, including Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation data.
Additionally, market participants will monitor the first quarter earnings and any updates related to the India-US trade deal.
Despite global uncertainties, India continues to attract foreign investments owing to a combination of supportive domestic policies and strong macroeconomic fundamentals.
In the previous month of June, FPIs had made a net investment of ₹ 14,590 crore in the Indian equity segment. In May, foreign investors poured in ₹ 19,860 crore, making it the best-performing month of the year so far in terms of FPI inflows.
However, earlier this year, FPIs had pulled out significant amounts from Indian equities. They sold stocks worth ₹ 3,973 crore in March, while in January and February, they offloaded equities worth ₹ 78,027 crore and ₹ 34,574 crore, respectively. (ANI)

JPMorgan Tells Fintechs to Pay Up for Customer Data Access
(Bloomberg) -- JPMorgan Chase & Co. has told financial-technology companies that it will start charging fees amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars for access to their customers' bank account information – a move that threatens to upend the industry's business models. The largest US bank has sent pricing sheets to data aggregators — which connect banks and fintechs — outlining the new charges, according to people familiar with the matter. The fees vary depending on how companies use the information, with higher levies tied to payments-focused companies, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information. A representative for JPMorgan said the bank has invested significant resources in creating a valuable and secure system that protects consumer data. 'We've had productive conversations and are working with the entire ecosystem to ensure we're all making the necessary investments in the infrastructure that keeps our customers safe,' the spokesperson said in a statement. The fees — expected to take effect later this year depending on the fate of a Biden-era regulation — aren't final and could be negotiated. The charges would drastically reshape the business for fintech firms, which fundamentally rely on their access to customers' bank accounts. Payment platforms like PayPal Holdings Inc.'s Venmo, cryptocurrency wallets such as Coinbase Global Inc. and retail-trading brokerages like Robinhood Markets Inc. all use this data so customers can send, receive and trade money. Typically, the firms have been able to get it for free. Many fintechs access data using aggregators such as Plaid Inc. and MX, which provide the plumbing between fintechs and banks. The fees — which vary based on the use cases currently under discussion — could be passed from the aggregators to the fintechs and, ultimately, consumers. The aggregator firms have been in talks with JPMorgan about the charges, and those are constructive and ongoing, another person familiar with the matter said. There have been some concerns about the number of times aggregators request customer data, the person said. Shares of fintech firms and payments companies including Block Inc. and Affirm Holdings Inc. fell Friday on the news, with PayPal dropping as much as 6.5%. JPMorgan's move comes as the fate of a controversial data-sharing rule hangs in the balance. The open-banking measure, finalized in October by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, enables consumers to demand, download and transfer their highly-coveted data. It also requires banks to share that data with another lender or financial services provider for free. Proponents argue the rule enables customers to access a wider pool of financial services, fosters greater competition and boosts data security. But the banking industry, which immediately sued to block the measure, said the arrangements could stoke fraud and expose them to greater liability. Under Donald Trump, a much-stripped back CFPB has asked a federal judge to vacate the open-banking rule, leaving its future in question. That judge has authorized the Financial Technology Association, a trade group with members affected by the fees, to defend the rule. The issue has become contentious at times. PNC Financial Services Group Inc. sued Plaid in 2020 alleging it copied the look of PNC's login screen, misleading the bank's customers into providing Plaid with their login credentials. The firms resolved the legal battle with a customer-data sharing deal last year. JPMorgan Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon said in April that customers should know exactly what data is shared and how it is used. Third parties should pay for banking system access and be prevented from using the data beyond what was authorized, he said. His bank has no problem with data sharing, provided it's properly done, he wrote in his annual letter to shareholders. 'Third parties want full access to banks' customer data so they can exploit it for their own purposes and profits,' he said. 'Banks provide fantastic services, and it's time to defend ourselves – in the public realm or in court if need be.' Steve Boms, executive director of the Financial Data and Technology Association of North America, said JPMorgan's move exploits regulatory uncertainty 'to levy an arbitrary and punitive tax on competitive offerings.' He called it a 'blatant effort to curtail innovation and undermine a stronger American financial system.' JPMorgan's proposed fees in some cases would eclipse the revenue certain companies generate on a single transaction by as much as 1000%, one of the people familiar said. Lower-income customers may also be harmed by restricted access to payments and budgeting apps through fees, said David Silberman, a senior advisor to the Financial Health Network and a former top CFPB official. 'Consumers are getting a lot of value today by permissioning access to their financial data by trusted third parties,' Silberman said. (Updates with additional background, comments, throughout.)

Costa Coffee's India FY25 sales jump 30%, gross margin declines marginally
British coffee chain brand Costa Coffee's India revenue from operations surged 30.76 per cent to ₹198.5 crore in FY25, and its profit rose 28.4 per cent to ₹149.7 crore. The growth was driven by store expansion, as the number of outlets increased from 179 to 220 in FY25, according to the latest annual report of Devynai International Ltd (DIL). Its revenue from operations was ₹151.8 crore, and profit stood at 116.6 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2024. Costa Coffee's gross margin declined marginally to 75.4 per cent from 76.8 per cent in FY24, primarily because of inflation in coffee beans and other input materials. "The brand contribution margin came down from 17 per cent to 16.1 per cent, with average daily sales (ADS) per store declining from ₹33,000 to ₹27,000, translating into a reduction of same store aales growth (SSSG) from 8.7 per cent to 4.1 per cent during this period," said DIL. Costa Coffee is operated in India through its franchise partner DIL, a leading QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) chain operator. Earlier this year, in April, Costa Coffee's Global CEO Philippe Schaillee, who was on a visit here, told PTI that India is going to be among the top five global markets for the British coffee chain brand. The coffee brand, now owned by beverage major Coca-Cola, is currently among the top ten global markets. "Costa Coffee is aggressively expanding in India, targeting 40-50 new outlets annually despite global economic uncertainties. DIL sees India as a high-potential market, driven by a growing preference for premium coffee among millennials and Gen Z," said DIL. This trend is manifest in the fact that the coffee space in the country is growing at 10 to 12 per cent, double the rate of global markets. "India, which is among Costa's top 10 markets globally, has the potential to get into the top five markets in five years, and Costa Coffee is just the sweetly aromatic spot to seize this strong opportunity," the report said. According to DIL, India, which is largely a 'chai' (tea) loving nation, is becoming a country of a growing populace of coffee lovers, with a massive cultural shift in its drinking habits over the years. Coffee is now the first love of many Gen Z Indians influenced strongly by Western culture, which is often a part of their work ethos. "At Costa Coffee, this has actuated a strong focus on expanding the brand's presence in high footfall locations, such as airports and multiplexes," said DIL. In the Indian cafe market, Costa Coffee competes with international chains such as Starbucks, Tim Horton, McCafe, and Dunkin'. Besides, local chains like Cafe Coffee Day, Blue Tokai, Third Wave Coffee and Barista are also amplifying their play in the fast-growing cafe market in India.
