By Aman Shukla Published on July 28, 2025, 10:30 IST Nibe Ltd shares rose 4% in Monday's trade after the company announced a key strategic collaboration with Israel-based defence technology firm Elbit Systems Land Limited. The two companies signed a technical collaboration agreement on July 26, 2025, marking a major step forward for Nibe's defence manufacturing ambitions. As of 10:30 AM, the shares were trading 3.84% higher at Rs 1,727.00. The agreement involves the transfer of license and technology for Elbit's Precise & Universal Launch System (PULS), a high-range artillery rocket system capable of targeting threats up to 300 km away. As part of the deal, Elbit will provide Nibe with critical know-how and licensing rights to manufacture, assemble, and integrate the PULS system in India. This collaboration will enable Nibe to establish a local manufacturing setup for the rocket system, contributing to the Indian government's 'Make in India' and defence indigenisation goals. The financial terms of the agreement are expected to be finalised within 45 days. Importantly, this is a strictly international partnership between two independent companies. Nibe clarified that neither its promoter group nor affiliates have any stake or interest in Elbit Systems, ensuring full compliance with SEBI's disclosure regulations.

Why are Lodha shares down nearly 6% today? Know More
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 28, 2025, 09:37 IST Shares of Lodha Developers Ltd. slumped nearly 6% in early trade on Monday to ₹1,203, despite the company posting a robust 42% year-on-year jump in consolidated net profit to ₹675 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Mumbai-based real estate giant had reported a profit of ₹475 crore in the same quarter last year. Consolidated revenue also saw a healthy rise to ₹3,624 crore from ₹2,918 crore in Q1 FY25. Pre-sales for the quarter reached ₹4,450 crore, up 10% YoY, slightly below potential due to the temporary impact of the India-Pakistan crisis in May, according to Executive Director S.K. Modi. Still, the company reiterated its FY26 guidance of a 20% annual growth in pre-sales. During the quarter, Lodha launched projects worth ₹8,300 crore, mostly in Mumbai, including premium projects in Juhu and Alibaug, and additional launches in Bengaluru. The company has already achieved 90% of its business development guidance of ₹25,000 crore for the fiscal year and expects more activity in the festive quarters (Q3 and Q4), with the current quarter limited to phased rollouts of existing developments. Despite the strong financials and operational performance, the stock's decline on Monday may be attributed to profit booking by investors following the recent run-up.

Amber shares rise nearly 2% after announcing Rs 404 crore acquisition of Israel's Unitronics
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 28, 2025, 09:34 IST Shares of Amber Enterprises India Ltd rose nearly 2% to ₹7,394 in early trade on Monday, following the company's announcement of a definitive agreement to acquire a controlling stake in Israel-based Unitronics (1989) (R'G) Ltd. through its electronics division, ILJIN Electronics. The deal involves acquiring up to 40.24% of Unitronics' issued and outstanding share capital, bringing Amber's post-acquisition holding to 45.13% alongside co-investor Haim Shami. The acquisition is valued at 15.6 crore Israeli New Shekel, approximately ₹404 crore, and is expected to be completed within 60 business days. Unitronics, a Tel Aviv Stock Exchange-listed firm, specializes in industrial automation, offering a suite of products including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interface (HMIs), integrated PLC-HMI solutions, SaaS-based UniCloud, and industrial IoT technologies. The strategic acquisition aligns with Amber's broader ambition to strengthen its electronics division and penetrate the industrial automation segment. The move is aimed at enhancing Amber's backward integration capabilities and tapping into global demand for Industry 4.0 solutions, while gaining access to key markets in the US and Europe. In 2024, Unitronics reported $57 million in revenue with EBITDA margins exceeding 30%, and currently holds a market capitalisation of $110 million. Investors appear optimistic about the growth potential this acquisition brings, pushing Amber's shares higher in Monday's session.
