Mint6 days ago
Stocks to buy under ₹ 100: In the last session of the previous week, the Indian stock market witnessed sharp selling. Among the key benchmark indices, Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex lost over half a per cent, while the Bank Nifty index lost close to one per cent. Wipro, Bajaj Finance, and Tata Steel showcased strength, emerging as the top performers on the Nifty. Conversely, Axis Bank, Shriram Finance and BEL concluded the session as major losers. Trading volumes on the NSE cash market were slightly lower by 2% compared to yesterday.
The broader market also experienced profit booking, mirroring the benchmark indices. The Nifty Midcap 100 fell by 0.70%, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 declined by 0.82%. Market breadth remained negative, with declining stocks outnumbering advancing ones on the BSE, as indicated by an advance-decline ratio of 0.70. Amongst the sectoral indices, Media, Metal, and IT managed to end up as major gainers, showcasing some resilience. However, Nifty Private banks, Consumer durables, and Financial services faced the steepest declines, contributing significantly to the overall market fall.
On the Indian stock market's outlook today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research — Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, "Overall, we expect the market to remain in consolidation mode amid continued global trade uncertainty and a subdued start to the Q1FY26 earnings season. Key results on Monday include Ultratech Cement, Eternal, IDBI Bank, Havells, and Oberoi Realty, among others."
Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, "The Nifty 50 index once again lost control and indicating a lower top formation on the daily chart slipped below the important 25,000 zone to slightly weaken the bias and has arrived near the crucial support zone area of the 50EMA level at 24,900 which needs to be sustained to maintain the overall trend intact. Also, the base of the ascending channel pattern on the daily chart lies near the 24,900 zone, which is at stake, and the much-awaited results of the heavyweight giants – HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank would be released, which would decide the next course of the market. For the bias to improve, the index must decisively move past the 25,250 zone."
Asked about the outlook of the Bank Nifty index, Shiju Kuthupalakkal, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, 'The Bank Nifty index succumbed to heavy profit booking post the weak result outcome of Axis Bank, which dragged the index to breach below the near-term support of the 56,600 zone and has slightly weakened the bias with the next major and crucial support positioned near the 50EMA zone at the 55,900 level, which needs to be sustained. On the upside, as mentioned earlier, it would need to breach above the resistance zone of 57,600 level and expect fresh higher targets of 58,500 and 60,000 levels in the coming days.'
Regarding stocks to buy today, Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking; Mehul Kothari, Deputy Vice President of technical Research at Anand Rathi; Sugandha Sachdeva, Founder of SS WealthStreet; and Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment, recommended these six intraday stocks for today under ₹ 100: Nova Agritech, Manali Petrochemicals, Yes Bank, UCO Bank, Shriram Properties, and Jagran Prakashan.

India-UK trade pact to benefit youth, MSMEs, startups: PM Modi

India-UK trade pact to benefit youth, MSMEs, startups: PM Modi TUTICORIN: The India-UK FTA will benefit Tamil Nadu (TN) youth, MSMEs, and startups, PM Narendra Modi said at Tuticorin airport, where he launched infrastructure projects worth over Rs 4,800 crore across southern TN on Saturday. Among the major projects unveiled was the Rs 450 crore new airport terminal designed to handle 20 lakh passengers annually. "Following FTA, 99% of Indian products sold in UK will be tax-free, boosting Indian manufacturing and creating new opportunities. The agreement will serve as a catalyst for industries rooted in TN's traditional strengths, ranging from handlooms to seafood exports," he said, addressing the gathering at the airport. Modi said TN is witnessing unprecedented development under NDA government at Centre. "Infrastructure and energy form the backbone of any state's development. Over past 11 years, the sustained focus on these sectors reflects the priority accorded to the state's progress," he said. The PM said Rs 3 lakh crore was devolved to TN central taxes over the past 11 years, nearly three times what was allotted under previous UPA government. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Urologists: Enlarged Prostate?

All the launches, including ribbon-cutting of the terminal, were done symbolically from the airport. He flagged off three railway infrastructure upgrades and electrification of the Madurai-Bodinayakkanur line. He also laid the foundation for a Rs 550 crore 765 kV transmission corridor project to evacuate power from Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant Units 3 and 4. Modi said the global perception of India has shifted significantly. "Today, the world sees its own growth in India's growth," he said. Recalling India's success in Operation Sindoor , he said, "You all recently witnessed the power of ' Make in India ' during Operation Sindoor. Made-in-India weapons played a crucial role in reducing terror hideouts to rubble. Even today, arms manufactured in India continue to shake the sleep of those who shelter terrorism." He said NDA government prioritised the coastal economy, ensuring inclusive development. "TN's growth is a vital component of our vision for a Viksit Bharat," he said. Modi also invoked the memories of freedom fighters and poets, including V O Chidambaranar, Veerapandiya Kattabomman, Alagumuthu Kone, and Subramania Bharati.

Central projects will create a ‘developed Tamil Nadu', says Narendra Modi

The Union government-funded infrastructure projects being implemented in Tamil Nadu on an outlay of over ₹3 lakh crore will help the Centre realise its dream of achieving 'Viksit Tamil Nadu', Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday. Inaugurating the new terminal building at the Thoothukudi airport, he said his government, which had promised a 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India), was according the highest priority for infrastructure development. Hence, the port, rail and energy sectors were getting an unprecedented facelift nationwide, from Jammu and Kashmir to Tamil Nadu. Mr. Modi said the Centre had released over ₹3 lakh crore since 2014 for strengthening Tamil Nadu's infrastructure to make it 'Developed Tamil Nadu'. This was three times higher than the funding provided by the previous United Progressive Alliance government to the State. He further said the north cargo berth at VOC Port, Thoothukudi; six-lane VOC Port Road; and four-lane Sethiyathope-Chozhapuram Highway would significantly catalyse the trade opportunities and employment generation for the locals. In an apparent reply to Chief Minister M.K. Stalin's recent assertion that the Centre was refusing to allocate funds for Tamil Nadu, he said the thrust being given for infrastructure development in Tamil Nadu by the Centre in energy, road, rail, and port sectors would phenomenally expedite the State's growth while achieving the Centre's goal of 'Viksit Tamil Nadu'. He recalled that the National Democratic Alliance government had sanctioned 11 new medical colleges for Tamil Nadu, and the Centre was also developing harbours to improve their livelihood. Terming India's recent free trade agreement with the United Kingdom (U.K.) as 'historic', Mr. Modi said this agreement would open unprecedented export opportunities for Indian products. 'As more than 99% of the 'Make in India' products will be available in the U.K. at lower prices, the rise in demand will increase production in India and generate more employment in the micro and small industries here. It will enhance the world's faith in India, which will become the third largest economy in the world soon,' Mr. Modi said. He added that home-grown weapon systems, which were used in recent 'Operation Sindhoor', had destroyed the terrorists' hideouts and had given sleepless nights to the sponsors of terror. Governor R.N. Ravi, Union Minister of Civil Aviation Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu, Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting L. Murugan, Tamil Nadu Ministers T.R.B. Rajaa, P. Geetha Jeevan, and Anita R. Radhakrishnan and MP Kanimozhi were among those present. State Finance Minister Thangam Thennerasu presented a memento to Mr. Modi on the occasion.

New-Age lending model helping banks to cut costs and meet customer expectations

Across global financial markets, lending is experiencing a major shift. Borrowers now expect immediacy, personalization, and simplicity in every interaction—whether applying for a personal loan on their mobile device or financing a home, vehicle, or business. However, many banks and financial institutions are hindered by systems designed for a slower, less connected world. A World Bank report estimates that micro, small, and medium enterprises face an annual credit gap of USD 5.2 trillion—about 1.5 times the current lending volume for these businesses. With conversations from banks and lenders, it's clear: Legacy Loan Origination Systems are no longer adequate. They were built to standardize, not to innovate. They offer control—but make it hard to adopt changes. Today, with tech-savvy customers and constantly changing rules, this lack of flexibility has become a drawback. According to a market research, digital lending platforms in India are projected to reach over 500 million customers by the end of 2025, with the lending segment expected to hit USD 1.3 trillion in disbursements, driven by advancements in financial technology and increased smartphone penetration. Hence, what is needed is not just digital enhancement, but a fundamental reinvention of how lending is delivered, scaled, and evolved. This is where the model of Lending-as-a-Service is proving to be a game-changer. Lending-as-a-Service redefines lending not as a static software platform, but as a flexible, cloud-powered ecosystem. It enables lenders to break down the lending process into modular services that can be rapidly configured, deployed, and scaled across various product lines—from personal and auto loans to corporate, housing, and consumer durable finance. By adopting this model, financial institutions are no longer bound by one-size-fits-all workflows or long development cycles. They gain the agility to experiment, personalize, and adapt without overhauling their core architecture. But technology alone is not the differentiator—it's the outcomes that matter. Institutions supported with platforms with Lending-as-a-Service architecture have consistently accelerated their go-to-market timelines, dramatically improved customer satisfaction, and reduced operational costs. We've seen banks launch new retail lending products in a matter of days. We've seen journeys that once required manual underwriting transformed into straight-through processes powered by AI. In several deployments, the cost per loan has reduced by over half, while conversion rates have increased multifold. For instance, a leading financial services provider in India leveraged our platform to launch a digitally native loan journey for Indian customers, covering onboarding, KYC, credit scoring, and disbursal—all within a few days. Another bank in Southeast Asia reimagined its auto finance journey by integrating real-time approvals, e-KYC, and government API linkages into a seamless customer flow. These institutions weren't just digitizing—they were building lending businesses designed for today's customers and tomorrow's challenges. This transformation is also enabling compliance readiness at scale. In regulated markets such as the UAE, India, and Southeast Asia, stakeholders are able to quickly embed policy changes, update product terms, or roll out pre-approved offers—without recoding, retraining, or retesting legacy systems. Thus, the future of lending will belong to those who are agile, responsive, and deeply aligned with the needs of their borrowers. Lending-as-a-Service offers a pathway to that future—a model that is not only more adaptive but also more resilient in the face of change. At the core of this shift is a new generation of lending platforms — modern, unified lending infrastructure built for speed, scalability, and intelligence. To illustrate, our platform, built on a microservices-based, cloud-native foundation, enables institutions to launch and iterate with confidence. With the ability to integrate more than 175 APIs, our ecosystem supports real-time connectivity with internal banking systems, fintech partners, government APIs, credit bureaus, fraud detection engines, and compliance tools. Additionally, this allows banks and financial institutions to no longer be constrained by what their systems can support—they are empowered to lead with what their customers demand. The transformation is not incremental. It is structural. And it is happening now. It's time to reimagine lending and reinvent success.
