Buy or sell: Vaishali Parekh recommends three stocks to buy today — 17 July 2025
After two days of sharp gains, the broader market saw a consolidation period. The Nifty Midcap and Smallcap 100 Indices ended the session flat, digesting their recent upward moves. Despite this, market breadth remained firmly positive, with advancing stocks outnumbering declining ones on the BSE, reflected in a healthy advance-decline ratio of 1.36. Amongst the sectoral indices, PSU Banks, Media and IT ended as major gainers while Metal, Healthcare and Pharma sectors ended in the red.
Vaishali Parekh, Vice President of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, believes the Indian stock market bias has improved as the Nifty 50 index has sustained above the 50-DEMA support placed at 24,900. The Prabhudas Lilladher expert said the key benchmark index is expected to touch 25,500 and 25,700 soon.
Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, "The Nifty 50 index after taking support near the 25000 zone has improved the bias indicating a higher bottom formation pattern on the daily chart to improve the bias and currently has sustained with a decent recovery to end on a marginal gain after a weak start to the session. The index would have the near-term hurdle at 25,250 levels, which, when breached above, shall aim for the targets of 25,500 and 25,700 levels as mentioned earlier. The important 50-DEMA zone at the 24,900 level would remain the crucial support area, which needs to be sustained as of now, with volatility expected to continue in the coming sessions."
"The Bank Nifty index continues to rise gradually after sustaining the important near-term support at the 56,600 level, and we expect a further move till the 57,000 zone. The index would continue to have the important support near the 56,000 level. On the upside, a decisive breach above the resistance zone of the 57,600 level is necessary to trigger further higher targets of 58,500 and 60,000 levels in the coming days," said Parekh.
Parekh said that Nifty's immediate support today is at 25,100, while resistance is at 25,400. The Bank Nifty will have a daily range of 56,700 to 57,700.
Regarding stocks to buy today, Vaishali Parekh of Prabhudas Lilladher recommended three buy-or-sell stocks: Allcargo Gati, CGCL, and Hindustan Copper.
1] Allcargo Gati: Buy at ₹ 72.40, Target ₹ 78, Stop Loss ₹ 70;
2] CGCL: Buy at ₹ 180, Target ₹ 190, Stop Loss ₹ 175; and
3] Hindustan Copper: Buy at ₹ 263, Target ₹ 280, Stop Loss ₹ 255.

UK firms can offer telecom, construction services in India without local office under CETA
New Delhi: Companies from the UK will be able to offer services in sectors such as telecom, and construction in India without setting up a local presence, under the free trade agreement signed between the two countries. The British firms will be treated on par with Indian firms. The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) was signed on July 24 in London. It may take about a year for items implementation as the free trade pact needs approval from the British Parliament. "UK companies can now provide telecom, construction, and related services in India without establishing a local presence, enjoying full national treatment, meaning they will be treated on par with Indian firms," the commerce ministry said. Services is a key chapter in the agreement as both countries are strong in different kinds of services. India enjoys a trade surplus of around USD 6.6 billion with the UK. The country's services exports stood at USD 19.8 billion and imports at USD 13.2 billion. In the agreement, the UK has provided a comprehensive and deep market access in 137 sub-sectors to Indian firms. On the Indian side, commitments have been extended in 108 sub-sectors, granting UK firms access to domains like accounting, auditing, financial services (with FDI capped at 74%), telecom (100% FDI allowed), environmental services, and auxiliary air transport services, it said.>

BYD runs India remotely as tensions with China shut out top brass
China's BYD Co. is forging ahead with its attempts to expand in India despite roadblocks from the government that are preventing the electric vehicle maker from conducting key business dealings there. Like most Chinese companies, BYD has been unable to obtain visas for executives after a deadly clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers along a Himalayan border in 2020 sparked a major deterioration in political ties. That's seen the EV giant resort to holding board meetings and high-level business interactions in Colombo in Sri Lanka and Kathmandu in Nepal, and even as far away as Singapore, according to people familiar with the matter. Ketsu Zhang, BYD's managing director for India, has been unable to obtain a work permit since he left the EV maker's local base in Chennai, despite government efforts to facilitate his travel, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they're not authorised to speak publicly. Zhang worked from the carmaker's headquarters in Shenzhen in 2021 before moving to Tokyo this year, they said. From Japan, he oversees Asian markets including India, the people said. An on-the-ground presence is particularly important for manufacturers, given the need for quick decision making, addressing productivity issues and establishing community ties. Cold Shoulder The cold shoulder is mutual. As recently as March, travel restrictions were still being wielded in the political spat. That month, an Indian contingent wanting to visit a major meeting of BYD car dealers in Shenzhen had to be scaled down after the majority of participants, including the company's employees based in India, were unable to obtain visas, a person familiar with the matter said. A representative for BYD in India declined to comment. Despite the operational difficulties, BYD has proved popular with Indian drivers — sales in the first half of this year are nearly touching the total units sold in 2024. Indian officials have been clear they won't welcome investment from the carmaker — Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said earlier this year that it's a 'no' to BYD due to caution around the nation's strategic interests. India has already rejected BYD's $1 billion plan to build a plant in partnership with a local company. This leaves the Chinese firm unable to qualify for reduced tariffs on imported EVs in exchange for establishing a substantial manufacturing presence in India. The freeze contrasts with the experience of Tesla Inc. Its Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk met with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the US earlier this year. The US carmaker opened its first showrooms in India this month, with deliveries set to begin as early as August. Tesla doesn't have plans to establish local manufacturing, meaning it faces import taxes of as much as 110 per cent for fully-assembled vehicles. Expanding overseas is critical for BYD, which risks missing its target to sell 5.5 million cars this year as demand in China stagnates and it draws the ire of Beijing following rounds of heavy price discounting. But without the ability to invest in manufacturing in India, BYD relies on its assembly plant in the southern city of Chennai, which has annual capacity of 10,000 to 15,000 units, to meet Indian demand. The company also imports most cars it sells in India, but hefty duties — aimed at shielding domestic firms — effectively double the cost of a vehicle and India restricts volumes unless a model has received a local roadworthiness certificate. While tensions between China and India are thawing, it's unclear whether curbs on professional visas will be lifted or if BYD will ever be welcomed with open arms. Still, there are tentative signs of progress. Earlier this month, India allowed Chinese nationals to apply for tourist visas again.
