Business Upturn11 hours ago
Shares of HDFC Asset Management Company (HDFC AMC) were up around 3% in early trade after brokerage firm Antique initiated coverage on the stock with a 'Buy' rating and a target price of ₹6,000. As of 9:48 AM, the shares were trading 2.55% higher at Rs 5,126.50.
Antique believes the Indian mutual fund industry is set for steady growth, projecting over 15% compound annual growth in total assets under management (AUM), and more than 20% growth in active equity AUM. This outlook is based on expectations of moderate GDP and earnings growth, stable SIP inflows despite market fluctuations, increasing role of fintech platforms, and ongoing traction in passive funds.

The report notes that asset management companies could be in line for a valuation re-rating, supported by improving earnings. Among sector peers, Antique has highlighted HDFC AMC and Nippon Life India Asset Management (NAM) as preferred picks, citing consistent performance, steady market share in flows, and diversified equity portfolios.

Elon Musk's X says Indian government ordered over 2,000 accounts blocked, including Reuters

Elon Musk's X said Tuesday that the Indian government ordered the company to block 2,355 accounts, including Reuters, in the country. "The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology demanded immediate action- within one hour- without providing justification, and required the accounts to remain blocked until further notice," X's global government affairs account posted. The main Reuters account, along with ReutersWorld, was blocked Saturday for users in India, the news service said. Screenshots showed the message "Account withheld @Reuters has been withheld in IN in response to a legal demand." The Indian government's Press Information Bureau told Reuters that no government agency had required blocking the account and said it was working with X to resolve the issue. The accounts were restored on Sunday. The statement by X on Tuesday is the latest development in an ongoing censorship legal battle between Musk's social media site and the Indian government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. X sued Modi's government in March, accusing India's IT ministry of unlawfully expanding online censorship to allow the easier removal of content. Musk often refers to himself as a free speech absolutist and has said his takeover of Twitter was partly due to what he viewed as the unfair restriction of conservative views and voices. The Tesla CEO swiftly made changes to moderation after he acquired the site, which he later renamed to X.

X says Indian government ordered it to block Reuters News accounts in India

NEW DELHI (Reuters) -India's government last week directly ordered X to block more than 2,000 accounts, including two belonging to Reuters News, the social media platform said on Tuesday in a sharp public attack on "ongoing press censorship" in India. Two Reuters News accounts - @Reuters and @ReutersWorld - were suspended for India users late on Saturday, and displayed a message saying they had been "withheld in IN (India) in response to a legal demand". The Reuters accounts were restored on Sunday night but the status of the others was unclear. X's statement contradicts comments by a spokesperson for India's Press Information Bureau at the weekend who said no government agency had required the withholding of Reuters handles. "On July 3, 2025, the Indian government ordered X to block 2,355 accounts in India, including international news outlets like @Reuters and @ReutersWorld, under Section 69A of the IT Act. Non-compliance risked criminal liability," X said in its post. "We are deeply concerned about ongoing press censorship in India due to these blocking orders. X is exploring all legal options available," it added. Reuters could not determine what specific content the blocking demand referred to and why its removal was sought. Section 69A of India's IT law allows the government to block public access to content "in the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of the state". Orders issued under the section are confidential in nature. In a statement, India's IT ministry said the government had "not issued any fresh blocking order" on July 3. It did not say if an order was issued before that date. The government did not intend to block any prominent international news channel, including Reuters, and had written to X over the weekend to unblock the news agency's accounts, the ministry said. "X has unnecessarily exploited technicalities involved around the process and didn't unblock the URLs," it added. The social media platform in its statement said the Indian government had asked it to restore access to @Reuters and @ReutersWorld after a "public outcry." A Reuters spokesperson at the weekend said the news agency was working with X to get its accounts reinstated in India as soon as possible. On Tuesday, she said the agency had no further comment. The main Reuters account has more than 25 million followers globally, while Reuters World has 718,000. X has long been at odds with India's government over content-removal requests. In March, the company sued the federal government over a new government website the company says expands takedown powers to "countless" government officials. The case is continuing. India has said X wrongly labelled an official website a "censorship portal", as the website only allows tech companies to be notified about harmful online content.
