Honeywell Automation shares dip over 2% as Q1 net profit drops 9% YoY to Rs 125 crore
Honeywell Automation India Ltd witnessed a sharp drop of more than 2% in early trade after the company reported a mixed set of numbers for the first quarter of FY26. As of 9:24 AM, the shares were trading 2.67% lower at Rs 37,690.00.
The company's net profit declined 8.7% year-on-year (YoY) to ₹124.6 crore in Q1FY26, compared to ₹136.5 crore in the corresponding quarter last fiscal. Despite the earnings slump, revenue from operations jumped 23.2% to ₹1,183 crore, up from ₹960.4 crore in Q1FY25, signalling strong top-line growth.
However, margin pressure weighed on investor sentiment. Honeywell's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) came in at ₹141.3 crore, marking an 8.4% YoY drop from ₹154.2 crore. The EBITDA margin for the quarter also narrowed significantly to 11.9%, down from 16% a year ago.

'India is selling Russian oil for big profits': Trump vows major hike in tariffs on Indian imports
In a blistering post on Truth Social, U.S. President Donald J. Trump slammed India for allegedly reselling Russian oil at a profit and ignoring the humanitarian crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He announced his intention to 'substantially raise' tariffs on Indian goods entering the U.S. and impose additional penalties tied to India's continued trade ties with Russia. 'India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine,' Trump wrote. India now faces the prospect of a double blow from the Trump administration: a blanket 25% tariff on all U.S.-bound goods and a separate penalty for its oil and defence procurements from Russia. Trump's remarks have reignited concerns over India's growing reliance on Russian crude, which has skyrocketed from just 0.2% of imports before the Ukraine war to 35–40% today. According to Kpler data, India's Russian crude imports stood at only 68,000 barrels per day (bpd) in January 2022. That figure surged to a peak of 2.15 million bpd in May 2023. Even today, Russia remains India's largest oil supplier with an average of 1.78 million bpd—far ahead of Iraq (900,000 bpd) and Saudi Arabia (702,000 bpd). India's shift toward Russian oil began after Western nations imposed sanctions on Moscow in response to its military operations in Ukraine. Russia offered steep discounts—up to $40 per barrel below the Brent benchmark—which incentivized Indian refiners to ramp up purchases. The Trump administration has long viewed India's ongoing oil trade with Russia as a geopolitical irritant. With Trump's fresh warning and the threat of economic penalties looming, India's energy strategy and global trade dynamics could face significant disruption.

Antfin to offload entire 5.84% stake in Paytm via Rs 3,803 crore block deal on August 5: Report
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on August 4, 2025, 18:13 IST Antfin (Netherlands) Holding B.V., one of the largest shareholders in One 97 Communications (Paytm), is set to sell its entire 5.84 percent stake in the company through a block deal on Indian stock exchanges on August 5, according to deal terms reviewed by Moneycontrol . The proposed transaction involves the sale of up to 3.77 crore equity shares, amounting to 5.84% of Paytm's outstanding equity. The floor price has been set at Rs 1,020 per share — a 5.4% discount to Paytm's last closing price of Rs 1,078.20 on August 4 on the NSE. The total deal size is pegged at Rs 3,803 crore. This is a pure secondary market transaction with no fresh equity issuance by Paytm. According to sources cited by Moneycontrol , the sale is being termed a 'clean-up trade' with no post-deal lock-in requirement. Citigroup Global Markets India and Goldman Sachs (India) Securities are acting as placement agents for the transaction. The order book opens at 7 AM IST on August 5, with an option to close earlier depending on investor demand. Shares are expected to settle on August 6 on a T+1 basis. Antfin has been steadily reducing its holding in Paytm over the past two years. This latest sale follows earlier block deals, including one in August 2023, when it sold shares worth around Rs 1,371 crore. The move is aligned with Antfin's broader effort to cut exposure, in line with regulatory views concerning long-term Chinese-origin investments.
