Baseless, legally untenable: Sona hits back on Rani Kapur's claims
Sona BLW Precision Forgings Ltd (Sona Comstar) on Monday issued a detailed rebuttal to allegations made by Rani Kapur, mother of late chairman Sunjay Kapur, calling them 'baseless', 'legally untenable', and 'deeply harmful' to the interests of over 400,000 public shareholders. The auto component manufacturer said Kapur has no locus standi in its affairs and that any suggestion of coercion or consent being required from her is false. In a letter to the board on Thursday, Kapur had claimed she was coerced into signing documents behind locked doors following her son's sudden and 'highly suspicious' death on 12 June. She said she was being denied access to her accounts and had been left at the 'mercy' of a select few for survival. She also claimed she had not nominated anyone to represent the Kapur family on the board and demanded that the company defer its annual general meeting (AGM), which was held as scheduled on Friday. In a statement to BSE on Monday, the company clarified that Rani Kapur has had no role — direct or indirect — in the company since at least 2019. 'She is neither a shareholder, director, nor officer of the company,' Sona Comstar said, adding that her claims of being coerced into signing documents are 'completely baseless and legally untenable'. The company also took strong exception to what it described as irresponsible statements and misinformation being circulated in the media. 'The continued dissemination of false narratives in the media to pursue personal legal agendas has resulted in erosion in shareholder value. With over 400,000 public shareholders, such actions are not only reckless but deeply harmful to the interests of the company. It is imperative that those responsible for this value destruction are held accountable,' it added. Sona Comstar also rejected the suggestion that it is a family-run or family-owned business. 'Sona Comstar is a publicly listed company with approximately 71.98 per cent of its shareholding held by institutional and public investors. The promoter entity holds a stake of 28.02 per cent and exercises no special rights or control,' the company stated. 'The assertion that the company is a family-run business is factually incorrect and misleading,' it added. The company stated that it is governed by a professional management team and an independent board. Since its initial public offering (IPO) in 2021, the promoter entity, Aureus Investments Private Ltd, has held only one non-executive board seat. The current board comprises nine directors, including two executive directors with no affiliation to the Kapur family and six independent directors 'with exemplary reputations and distinguished careers'. Sona Comstar said that recent appointments to the board, including the reappointment of Jeffrey Mark Overly as an independent director and the appointment of Priya Sachdev Kapur, wife of the late Sunjay Kapur, as a non-executive director, were fully compliant with all legal and governance norms. 'Both appointments would have passed even without any votes from the promoter entity,' the company said, noting they were ratified by 98.9 per cent and 99.4 per cent of shareholders, respectively.

Torrent Pharma Q1 results: PAT up 20% on robust sales across territories
Torrent Pharmaceuticals on Monday reported a 20 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) rise in consolidated net profit for the June quarter (Q1 FY26) to ₹548 crore, up from ₹457 crore in Q1 FY25, on the back of robust sales across territories. The company's revenue from operations rose to ₹3,178 crore in Q1 FY26, reflecting an 11 per cent Y-o-Y growth from ₹2,815 crore in Q1 FY25. This includes an 11 per cent increase in the company's India revenues, which rose to ₹1,811 crore, led by outperformance in focus therapies. Torrent's chronic business grew at 13 per cent, compared to the Indian Pharma Market's (IPM's) growth of 9 per cent. The Ahmedabad-based pharma major added that it has 21 brands in the top 500 brands in the IPM, with 14 brands having sales of more than ₹100 crore. 'The figure includes acquisition-related one-off expenses of ₹15 crore,' the company said in a statement. Apart from the domestic market, the company also saw growth in revenue from foreign markets. Torrent's revenue from the US market rose by 19 per cent to ₹308 crore, up from ₹259 crore in Q1 FY25. Similarly, revenues from the Brazil market rose by 11 per cent Y-o-Y in Q1 FY26 to ₹218 crore, up from ₹196 crore in the same period last year. The company attributed this growth to the performance of top brands, new launches, and growth in the generic segment. On Monday, Torrent's shares rose marginally by 0.75 per cent, ending the day's trade at ₹3,629.50 apiece on the Bombay Stock Exchange.

US Startup Claims To Have Found New Way To Make 5,000-Kg Of Gold Every Year
A US startup has claimed that it has found a novel way to turn mercury into gold, opening a new 'revenue stream for the future'. San Francisco-based Marathon Fusion stated that using the nuclear fusion process, the precious element can be developed. Using the radioactivity from neutron particles in a nuclear fusion reactor, the team from Marathon Fusion said mercury can be converted into mercury-197. Afterwards, this element decays into a stable form of gold: gold-197. "Fusion-driven transmutation of mercury into gold transforms fusion energy from a stand-alone power technology into a multi-product industrial platform, dramatically strengthening its economic and societal value proposition," the company highlighted in a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper. As per the estimates by the researchers, a fusion power plant could produce 5,000 kg of gold per gigawatt of thermal power in a single year of operation. Since one gigawatt is the average output of a large nuclear plant, it could lead to over $550 million worth of gold per year per GW of fusion energy. "With focused effort on the technology gaps identified, the approach described could accelerate the commercial deployment of fusion power and, in doing so, turn an ancient aspiration into a reality. The goal of classical alchemy is now achievable through practical engineered solutions." The researchers said the gold was the bonus byproduct of the fusion reactors, and it would not interfere with the plant's primary purpose of developing clean energy. However, one complication is that the presence of other types of mercury may result in the production of unstable gold isotopes alongside gold-197, meaning the metal could be partially radioactive. Marathon Fusion's chief technology officer, Adam Rutkowski told Financial Times that the gold would have to be stored for 14 to 18 years for it to be labelled radiation-safe. Gold from mercury -- dream or pipe dream? Scientists regard nuclear fusion as the holy grail of energy that could help in generating limitless, clean energy for the planet. It is what powers our Sun as atomic nuclei are merged to create massive amounts of energy, which is the opposite of the fission process used in atomic weapons and nuclear power plants, where the heavy atom is split into multiple smaller ones. In the last few years, Marathon Fusion has raised almost $6 million in investments and $4 million in government grants, as it focuses on developing efficient nuclear fusion power systems. However, until commercial fusion reactors are developed, the dream of making gold from mercury may remain a pipe dream.
