During market hours on June 27, the company said in an exchange filing that it had entered into an agreement with Canopy Living LLP, which is a joint venture between Arihant Foundations & Housing Limited and Prestige Estates Project Limited, to sell 3.48 acres of land in Velachery, Chennai, for a consideration of ₹ 361.18 crore.
The company said this land monetisation will achieve twin objectives of reducing debt and integrating city offices of various divisions to further unlock the merger's long-term cost synergies.
The total extent of land in Velachery is 4.50 acres. Rane (Madras) said it would retain the balance portion of the land, where a new office will be constructed.
Rane (Madras) is part of the Rane Group of Companies, a leading auto component group based out of Chennai. The company claims to be a preferred supplier to major OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and the aftermarket in India and abroad.

According to the company's statement, it serves various industry segments, including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, farm tractors, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, railways, and stationary engines.
Over the last five years, the small-cap stock has given a multibagger return of nearly 300 per cent.

On a monthly scale, however, the stock has been in the green since March this year. In June so far, the small-cap stock has gained about 3 per cent.

Aadhar Housing hits record high after Q1 PAT climbs 18% YoY to Rs 237 cr
Aadhar Housing Finance jumped 4.69% to Rs 520.20 after the company's consolidated net profit jumped 18.56% to Rs 237.28 crore on 18.94% increase in revenue from operations to Rs 848.18 crore in Q1 FY26 over Q1 FY25. Profit before tax (PBT) stood at Rs 305.15 crore in Q1 FY26, up 18.62% compared with Rs 257.24 crore in Q1 FY25. Asset under management (AUM) climbed 22% to Rs 26,524 crore in Q1 June 2025 as against 21,726 crore in Q1 June 2024. Disbursements stood at Rs 1,979 crore in Q1 FY26, up 32% YoY. Rishi Anand, MD & CEO of Aadhar Housing Finance, said: We concluded the first quarter of FY26 on a strong note with an AUM of Rs 26,524 crore, reflecting a YoY growth of 22%. Disbursements remained healthy at Rs 1,979 crore, up 32% YoY, supported by sustained demand in the affordable housing segment. Profit after Tax (PAT) for the quarter stood at Rs 237 crore, marking a YoY growth of 19%. Another milestone to highlight for this quarter is the rating upgrade from CARE for our long-term bank facilities and non-convertible debentures (NCDs) to CARE AA+ from the earlier CARE AA, while maintaining a stable outlook, reflecting Aadhars strong financial and operational performance. We also marked our entry to a new state Assam with a new branch at Guwahati. The affordable housing finance sector has gained strong momentum over the past year, supported by proactive government measures and rising demand. A key macro development this quarter was RBIs third consecutive repo rate cut, reducing it by 50 basis points to 5.50% in June 2025, enhancing affordability for first-time and low-income homebuyers ahead of the festive season. We remain optimistic that these policy actions will further accelerate growth in the affordable housing segment.

Markets in Flux: Devina Mehra advocates measured rebalancing over panic moves
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel "Regarding tariffs , there have been some agreements, like Japan announcing investments into the US, though eventually they clarify these are company-level decisions. So it's like kicking the can down the road. But markets seem to have accepted it as business as usual," says Devina Mehra , Founder & CMD, First as I always say, not only should you be global, but 'global' doesn't mean just the US. You need to diversify across countries because no single theme lasts forever — whether it's countries, asset classes, or industries within a country. These things keep changing. We do rebalance globally — although we haven't done it yet for this quarter — but currently, we are somewhat underweight on the US. Since January, we've maintained that stance. We've been overweight on Europe, overweight on China even earlier, and slightly overweight on India. So, broadly, that's our global allocation. Of course, individual countries have their own opportunities, but at a broader level, Europe has been outperforming the US. That's been one major trend. And China, after years of underperformance — and I may have quoted this before — its market hit a high in 2007, and despite GDP growing sixfold since then, that high wasn't breached until recently. So that setup is also tariffs, there have been some agreements, like Japan announcing investments into the US, though eventually they clarify these are company-level decisions. So it's like kicking the can down the road. But markets seem to have accepted it as business as I mentioned, we've been underweight US since January and overweight Europe. We've been overweight on China since last year, and we're slightly overweight on India. And Europe, in particular, has outperformed the US quite meaningfully this I say we're slightly overweight India, it's just that — a slight overweight in our global portfolios, not a huge one. I smiled when you mentioned 'buy and forget,' because in markets there's really no such thing. The definition of a blue chip keeps changing. If you look at the Sensex or Nifty history, you'll see that many companies once considered blue chips have completely faded away — the Thapar group, Scindia Steamships, Mafatlal, Hindustan Motors (which made the Ambassador car), Premier Automobiles (which made old Fiats). These were all considered blue-chip companies when the Sensex was fact, the only company in the original Sensex list with a relatively short history back then was Indian Hotels. The rest had decades of legacy. And if you look at older portfolios — like those from our grandparents' era — you'll find many names from these old business groups, such as JK, Thapar, Modi, Scindia, Mafatlal, all of which are now in the Nifty, the composition has changed dramatically. At one point, there were hardly any banks. Now, banks and financials hold the largest weight. In the late '90s, PSUs dominated — MTNL, BSNL, BHEL, ONGC, Indian Oil, HPCL, BPCL, and others. Then came a time when people forgot PSUs were even investable. So the takeaway is: the stocks that lead one bull market are rarely the same ones that lead the notion of 'just buy a stock and wait for 20 years' doesn't hold true across the board. Survivorship bias is very real. People remember the few winners — like HDFC Bank or Kotak Mahindra — but forget the many that failed: Times Bank, Global Trust, Centurion Bank, and several PSU banks. Even Yes Bank had major issues.I recently saw someone's mother's portfolio from the early 2000s — untouched for over 20 years — and it included names like DSQ Software and Pentamedia, which haven't aged well. So yes, markets evolve, and buy-and-forget isn't a viable far, domestic earnings have been mixed, but I believe we'll start seeing some improvement from the second quarter onwards. That was my view earlier as well. There have been some encouraging macro signals — GDP came in ahead of estimates. More importantly, inflation, especially in food and crude, has come down, which helps household India, household finances are quite stretched. If prices of essentials like dal and oil go up, people cut back on other items like soap or shampoo. That's been a drag for nearly two years. But now, prices are not only growing slower, they're actually falling — especially in the food thali category. While that's not great news for the agricultural segment (since realisations drop), for urban and non-farm consumers, it creates more room in the budget and boosts also impacts industries due to its role in downstream products. So, I believe we'll eventually see margin improvements as well, along with better revenue for investors, I always say: good investing is boring. People often tell me I repeat the same advice. That's because good advice doesn't change every two weeks. You should never be 100% in equities, but for your equity allocation, it usually makes sense to stay when there's fear and uncertainty — like now — that's when markets can make sharp upward moves, and you don't want to miss those. Yes, the market could go down, but the key is evaluating risk versus reward. If you miss the 10 best days over a 40-year period, you lose two-thirds of your returns. So most of the time, you simply can't afford to sit it out.
