ED arrests Ex-Axis Mutual Fund chief dealer Viresh Joshi in over Rs 200 crore front-running case

By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on August 3, 2025, 16:58 IST In a major crackdown on the Axis Mutual Fund front-running scandal, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Viresh Gangaram Joshi, the former Chief Dealer of Axis Mutual Fund, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. The arrest took place on August 2, 2025, and Joshi has been remanded to ED custody until August 8 for further investigation. The ED conducted search operations on August 1 and 2 across multiple locations including Delhi, Mumbai, Gurugram, Ludhiana, Ahmedabad, Bhavnagar, Bhuj, and Kolkata. These operations stem from an FIR filed by Mumbai Police in December 2024, which alleged that Joshi and others used confidential information about Axis Mutual Fund trades between 2018 and 2021 to execute personal trades ahead of client orders—a practice known as front-running. The investigation has uncovered that Joshi used a trading terminal in Dubai and multiple mule trading accounts to carry out these illicit trades. Several traders and brokers are also under the scanner for exploiting advance trade inputs to generate illegal profits. So far, the ED has identified proceeds of crime worth over Rs 200 crore, a figure that may increase as the probe progresses. As part of the operation, the ED has frozen assets—including shares, mutual fund holdings, and bank balances—worth Rs 17.4 crore. The proceeds were allegedly routed through shell companies and bank accounts linked to the accused and their family members. The ED emphasised that front-running erodes investor trust and undermines market integrity. Axis Mutual Fund currently manages assets worth over Rs 2 lakh crore.

UPL Maintains FY26 Guidance After Strong Q1 EBITDA Growth, Narrowed Loss

By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on August 1, 2025, 14:44 IST UPL Limited reaffirmed its FY26 revenue and EBITDA growth guidance after reporting a sharp improvement in operating performance and a significantly narrowed net loss in Q1FY26. The company posted a consolidated net loss of ₹880 million, a considerable improvement from ₹3.84 billion in the year-ago period. Revenue remained largely flat year-on-year at ₹9,216 crore versus ₹9,067 crore, but improved cost management, better product mix, and enhanced operational efficiency lifted margins. EBITDA surged 26.8% to ₹1,396 crore, with margins expanding 301 basis points to 15.15%, driven by a 390-bps rise in contribution margins. This was attributed to higher capacity utilisation, favourable pricing, and a reduction in input costs. Among regions, India led with 21% revenue growth, while North America and Europe both grew 8%. Latin America and Rest of the World reported a 10% decline. Platform-wise, Advanta grew 20% and UPL SAS 13%. The company also reported strong improvements in balance sheet health. Net working capital days dropped to 86 from 121, while net debt declined ₹6,129 crore sequentially to ₹21,371 crore following a ₹3,409 crore redemption of perpetual bonds in May. The ongoing rights issue is expected to conclude by the end of September. Looking ahead, UPL maintained its FY26 guidance of 4–8% revenue growth and 10–14% EBITDA growth, highlighting sustained momentum in crop protection, organic-led growth at Advanta, and margin improvement in its SUPERFORM SSC platform. The management reiterated its long-term focus on value unlocking through restructuring, strategic investments, and disciplined financial execution.
