India's equity benchmarks to open flat as market weighs UK trade pact
July 25 (Reuters) - India's equity benchmarks are expected to open little changed on Friday as investors weigh the newly signed trade pact with Britain, which will cut tariffs of goods ranging from textiles to whisky and cars. The Gift Nifty futures were trading at 24,993.5 points as of 8:04 a.m. IST, indicating that the Nifty 50 (.NSEI), opens new tab will open near Thursday's close of 25,062.1. "Signing of the India-UK FTA, which is expected to boost bilateral trade by about $34 billion annually, is hugely significant in the present context when India is eager to reach a deal with the U.S. on trade and tariffs," said VK Vijayakumar, chief investment strategist at Geojit Investments. Shares of textiles, automakers, leather, footwear and other companies will be in focus as UK exports become duty-free. While the India-UK agreement should boost sentiment, the market is unlikely to see major upside until there is clarity on U.S. trade negotiations, analysts said. India is making "fantastic" progress in talks with Washington, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal told Reuters on Thursday, but played down the importance of deadlines. Earlier this week, two Indian government sources said prospects for an interim deal before U.S. President Donald Trump's August 1 deadline had dimmed amid deadlock over tariff cuts on key agricultural and dairy products. ** Bajaj Finance ( opens new tab beat analysts' estimate for quarterly profit on Thursday, as healthy loan growth countered a decline in the non-bank lender's asset quality ** Indian Energy Exchange ( opens new tab posts higher revenue and profit for the first quarter, driven by a nearly 15% increase in electricity volume.

India's Goyal hopeful of concluding US trade deal after 'fantastic' progress
LONDON, July 24 (Reuters) - India is making "fantastic" progress in trade talks with the United States, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal told Reuters on Thursday, adding he was very confident that India would get special treatment from President Donald Trump. Trump threatened a 26% tariff on Indian imports in April but paused implementation to allow for talks. That pause ends on August 1, though India has yet to receive a formal tariff letter, unlike more than 20 other countries. Earlier this week two Indian government sources said the prospects of an interim trade deal before the deadline had dimmed, as talks remain deadlocked over tariff cuts on key agricultural and dairy products. In an interview during a visit to London, Goyal played down the importance of deadlines in trade talks but struck a bullish tone on how negotiations with the United States were going. "We're making fantastic progress with the United States, and I do hope we'll be able to conclude a very consequential partnership," Goyal said. Asked about possible disagreement with Washington over agriculture, Goyal said that "negotiations happen in the negotiation room", but said India wouldn't necessarily hold out for a comprehensive deal if smaller sectoral wins were possible. "All options are on the table, and we will see how it plays out, but what is important is to get preferential market access over our competitors, our peers," he said. "And I'm very confident that India, having been the first country to start negotiating, will be given a special and preferred treatment." On Wednesday Trump announced a deal with Japan which lowers auto tariffs, though medicines and semiconductors will be negotiated separately. Goyal was in London after signing a free trade deal with Britain, which has also negotiated sectoral tariff relief with the White House. But while other countries may have secured deals with Trump ahead of India, despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts in February to kickstart trade talks with a White House visit, Goyal played down the significance of deadlines. "I don't think any of the negotiations ever worked with deadlines or the preconceived limitations," Goyal said, adding he wanted a win-win deal. "One has to have a broad mind and a package which is balanced and can give equity to both sides."

Intel's foundry future depends on securing a customer for next-gen chipmaking tech
SAN FRANCISCO, July 24 (Reuters) - Intel (INTC.O), opens new tab warned investors on Thursday that it may have to get out of the chip manufacturing business if it does not land external customers to make chips in its factories. New CEO Lip-Bu Tan said on Thursday the company's engineers were busy working with customers to jump-start its next-generation contract manufacturing process, or foundry, as the company announced big layoffs alongside a wider-than-expected third-quarter loss outlook. Those customers for the company's so-called 14A manufacturing process are crucial to the success of the technology - so much so that if it fails to secure a big one, it could shut down its cutting-edge manufacturing business altogether, according to Intel's quarterly filing on Thursday. The possibility that Intel could drop out of the cutting-edge manufacturing business would be a historic shift for a company that has described itself as a steward of Moore's Law - an observation by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore about the fast rate of development of the chip industry that held true for decades. Intel is the only U.S. chipmaker capable of making advanced computing chips. Intel has struggled for years due to management missteps, missing out on the AI race and losing market share to its longtime rival AMD (AMD.O), opens new tab. Former CEO Patrick Gelsinger poured money into Intel's foundry business, aiming to compete with chip manufacturing giant TSMC ( opens new tab. Tan, who has already taken steps to right the ship, said on a post-earnings call on Thursday that he was personally reviewing all chip designs and investments. "We're developing Intel 14A ... from the ground up in close partnership with large external customers," Tan said in a memo released with the results. "Going forward, our investment in Intel 14A will be based on confirmed customer commitments. "We will build what our customers need, when they need it, and earn their trust through consistent execution." Intel said that without a significant customer, it would consider cancelling or pausing development of 14A and subsequent technologies. Should the company take the step, it planned to continue to manufacture chips with its 18A technology and a variant through 2030, according to the filing. In a post-earnings conference call, Tan said on Thursday that he is focused on working with customers to ensure 14A is a success and that tight collaboration with external customers is something that was absent from the company's 18A, which is set to go into high-volume production later this year. Tan said bringing those prospective customers in and gaining their feedback during 14A's development has already made it more promising than 18A. "That gave me a lot more confidence that this time, we have customers (that) are engaging early enough in the inception" of 14A, Tan said. "We learn from our mistakes, and we can learn quicker and then get a better result." The consequences of a decision to halt internal manufacturing would be significant for Intel, the filing said. It would mean that over time, Intel would become dependent on Taiwan's TSMC ( opens new tab for contract manufacturing, or foundry, services. Doing so would also put it at a competitive disadvantage to competitors such as AMD, which has longer relationships and experience working with TSMC. Intel had roughly $100 billion of chipmaking equipment as of June 28. If the company halted its 14A manufacturing line, the company expects "significant material impairments" related to the company's foundry assets, the company's filing said.
