Shadowfax files confidential prospectus for its IPO
ET had first reported on June 27 that the Flipkart-backed company was on the verge of filing papers for its Rs 2,000-2,500 crore IPO, of which about half is expected to be in the form of a primary issue.
By filing confidentially, the firm can gauge investor interest and finetune its IPO plans without immediately disclosing financials and other sensitive business information. Most of the Rs 1,000-1,100 crore to be raised from the primary share sale is expected to be invested in bulking up the company's quick-delivery offerings. 'The company has been seeing massive traction emerging from quick deliveries…and its economics have also been improving,' a person in the know had told ET earlier.In fiscal year 2024, Shadowfax clocked around Rs 1,885 crore in operating revenue, up 33% from the previous year, and turned operationally profitable. It reported a net loss of Rs 12 crore for FY24, down 92% year-on-year, but posted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) of Rs 23 crore.With the filing done, Shadowfax joins a long list of new-age companies that have submitted their draft papers to the markets regulator. The others are PhysicsWallah, Boat, Urban Company, Shiprocket, Groww, Capillary Technologies, Pine Labs, Wakefit and Curefoods. Meesho and Lenskart are also expected to file their papers soon.

SEBI opens 6-month special window for re-lodgement of transfer deeds from July 7
Mumbai: In order to facilitate ease of investing and to secure investors' rights, capital market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Wednesday decided to open a special window only for re-lodgement of transfer deeds, lodged before April 1, 2019 deadline, and were either returned, rejected or not attended due to deficiency in the documents or other reasons. The window will be open for 6 months-starting from July 7, 2025, to January 6, 2026. "During this period, the securities that are re-lodged for transfer shall be issued only in demat mode," the market regulator said in a circular. The market watchdog asked listed companies, RTAs and Stock Exchanges to advertise the opening of this special window through various media, including print and social media, on a bimonthly basis during the six-month period. "This issue was discussed in a Panel of Experts, which included RTAs, listed companies, and legal experts. Based on the discussion, the panel recommended that to alleviate the issue faced by the investors that missed the March 31, 2021, deadline for re-lodgement, one more opportunity may be granted for them to re-lodge such shares for transfer," the market regulator said in a statement. Notably, the transfer of securities in physical mode was discontinued with effect from April 1, 2019. Subsequently, the market regulator clarified that transfer deeds lodged prior to the deadline and rejected or returned due to a deficiency in the documents may be re-lodged with the requisite documents. Later, March 31, 2021, was fixed as the cut-off date for re-lodgement of transfer deeds. The decision came after the SEBI received requests from investors as well as RTAs and listed companies who had missed the timelines for re-lodging their documents for transfer of securities. Meanwhile, last month, the market regulator introduced key reforms to enhance the efficiency, inclusivity, and investor-friendliness of Indian financial markets. These decisions were approved during SEBI's board meeting chaired by Tuhin Kanta Pandey on June 18.

Where are silver prices headed? Rich Dad Poor Dad author sees ‘explosion' in July; here's the outlook
Best-selling author Robert Kiyosaki has once again stirred the investment world, this time with a forecast that silver prices are set to 'explode in July.' Taking to social media platform X, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author called silver the 'best asymmetric buy' currently available, highlighting its high reward-to-risk ratio. 'Silver is the best 'asymmetric buy' today. That means more possible upside gain with little downside risk. Silver prices will explode in July,' Kiyosaki wrote. He further added, 'Everyone can afford silver today… but not tomorrow,' urging followers to act while prices remain accessible. 'Your profits are made when you buy… Not when you sell,' he said. Kiyosaki's dramatic prediction comes as market analysts also turn bullish on silver's prospects, citing a combination of geopolitical tension, industrial demand, and favourable market dynamics. Jigar Trivedi, senior research analyst, currencies & commodities at Reliance Securities, highlighted silver's growing appeal as a safe-haven asset amid rising geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties. He told ET that while gold continues to hold its ground as a traditional safety net in times of crisis, Trivedi pointed out that silver is gaining an edge due to its increasing industrial demand, particularly from the electric vehicle and solar energy sectors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Official IQ Test - Updated 2025 IQ International Undo Trivedi also expected COMEX silver prices to climb to $36–$37 per ounce, with MCX silver potentially reaching Rs 1,10,000 per kg within a month. He attributed the projected gains to a weaker dollar and rising safe-haven demand and urged investors to maintain a diversified portfolio, suggesting an allocation of 12–15% in silver. Jateen Trivedi, VP research analyst at LKP Securities, expected a structural turnaround in the white metal's price trajectory. He pointed out that silver, after a prolonged downtrend since its 2011 peak of $49.50, began a significant upward reversal in 2020. Silver has seen a sharp rally of nearly 60% over the past two years, with prices rising from Rs 87,000 to Rs 1,04,500 in 2025. According to Jateen, the metal could climb further to Rs 1,10,000–Rs 1,20,000 this year, driven by consistent demand from green energy industries and the ripple effects of global geopolitical tensions. He continues to favour a buy-on-dips strategy for investors aiming to tap into the current upward trend. Naveen Mathur, director, commodities & currencies at Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers, highlighted that silver's rally to 13-year highs may be part of a larger, multi-year trend. The recent surge in silver prices has been fuelled by a combination of strong industrial demand, safe-haven buying, and persistent trade-related uncertainties, according to Mathur. He believed that silver is poised to outperform gold in the second half of 2025, forecasting a trading range of $38.70–$41.50 per ounce, roughly Rs 1,15,000–Rs 1,23,000 per kg in MCX futures. Looking ahead, Mathur expects silver to climb as high as $50 per ounce globally, or Rs 1,50,000–Rs 1,70,000 per kg in the Indian market over the next three to five years. He attributes this bullish long-term view to ongoing supply deficits, with 2025 marking the fifth straight year of market shortfall. While Kiyosaki's prediction of a sharp spike in silver prices this July may seem ambitious, the current momentum, underpinned by macroeconomic trends, strong industrial use, and tightening supply, suggests silver is likely to stay in the spotlight.
