Dalmia Bharat share price edges higher as promoter raises stake in cement company

Mint18-06-2025
Dalmia Bharat share price rose by over 1% during Wednesday's trading session. Keshav Power Limited, a promoter group entity associated with the cement giant, has notably enhanced its stake in the firm by purchasing 6.73 crore equity shares, which accounts for 35.90% of Dalmia Bharat's current paid-up capital.
This acquisition was carried out through a Scheme of Amalgamation, which became effective on June 13, 2025, with an appointed date set for April 1, 2023. As a result of this transaction, Keshav Power's direct ownership in Dalmia Bharat Limited has grown from 0.52% to 36.42%.
The acquisition was revealed in accordance with Regulation 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. Even with the significant alteration in Keshav Power Limited's individual ownership, the total shareholding of the promoter and promoter group in Dalmia Bharat Limited stays constant at 55.84%, as the transaction represents an internal group restructuring.
Keshav Power's purchase of shares in Dalmia Bharat stems from a Scheme of Amalgamation ratified by the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Cuttack Bench. The order, issued on May 30, 2025, approved the merger of four transferor companies with Keshav Power Limited (the receiving company).
The companies that were amalgamated include: Ankita Pratisthan Limited (Transferor Company 1); Mayuka Investment Limited (Transferor Company 2); Shree Nirman Limited (Transferor Company 3); and Sarvapriya Healthcare Solutions Private Limited (Transferor Company 4).
Dalmia Bharat share price today opened at an intraday low of ₹ 2,060.25 apiece on the BSE, the stock touched an intraday high of ₹ 2,085.10 per share.
According to Rajesh Bhosale, Equity Technical and Derivative Analyst at Angel One, Dalmia Bharat share price is trading flat today and has remained under pressure throughout the week. The ongoing weakness may persist, with immediate support near ₹ 2,000. On the upside, the ₹ 2,150– ₹ 2,180 zone remains a key hurdle, and only a breakout above this range could revive positive momentum.

Road Safety Alert: Centre Urges Two-Wheeler Riders To Use BIS-Certified Helmets- Details

New Delhi: In a major step towards ushering road safety, the Union government on Saturday appealed to consumers across the country to use only Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)-certified helmets. The Department of Consumer Affairs also called for strict enforcement against the manufacture or sale of helmets without BIS certification. According to data from the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, India has over 21 crore two-wheelers on roads. While wearing a helmet is mandatory under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, its effectiveness depends on quality. Sub-standard helmets compromise protection and defeat their purpose. To address this, a Quality Control Order has been in force since 2021, mandating ISI-marked helmets certified under BIS standards (IS 4151:2015) for all two-wheeler riders. 'As of June 2025, there are 176 manufacturers across India holding valid BIS licenses for protective helmets,' the Ministry said. "The Department has observed that many helmets sold on roadsides lack the mandatory BIS certification, posing significant risks to consumers and numerous fatalities in road accidents. Therefore, there is an urgent need to tackle this issue head-on," it added. In a bid to enforce quality standards, BIS regularly conducts factory and market surveillance. In the last financial year, it tested over 500 helmet samples, and more than 30 search-and-seizure operations were carried out for misuse of the BIS Standard Mark. "In one Delhi operation, over 2,500 non-compliant helmets were seized from nine manufacturers with expired or cancelled licences. Similar action at 17 retail and roadside locations led to the seizure of around 500 substandard helmets, with legal proceedings underway," the Ministry said. Further, BIS has added a provision on the BIS Care App and BIS portal to check whether a helmet manufacturer is licensed or not and also allows users to lodge a complaint on the BIS Care App. As part of a nationwide consumer awareness initiative, BIS organises the Quality Connect campaign where 'Manak Mitra' volunteers engage directly with consumers to provide information on mandatory certification for helmets and other products.

India's First Weather Derivative aims to protect farmers from weather volatility

New Delhi [India], July 5 (ANI): Highlighting the potential benefits of the recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) and the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Dr Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, Director General of IMD, said the collaboration would provide critical climate insights for the agriculture sector. He noted that farmers and agri-based industries can use historical weather data to assess whether areas are drought-prone, flood-prone, or receive normal rainfall. 'So, under this memorandum of understanding, rainfall has been taken into consideration because rain is the most important parameter concerning agriculture and hence the economy. Towards this direction, the historical data will also be provided by IMD so that there can be an assessment with respect to the climatic hazard potential of rainfall during the monsoon season. And also the real-time rainfall; whatever is available from IMD in the gridded format or point rainfall will be provided to assess the variation of rainfall on their end and also to provide the services,' he added. 'Agriculture in our country depends especially on monsoon rain because 70-90 per cent of rainfall occurs in this season,' IMD DG Mrityunjay Mohapatra said. 'On the real-time rainfall, they can find out whether it is as per the climatological trend or there is a deviation... Accordingly, there could be some decisions concerning agriculture as well as agro-business and industry,' he added. Based on this information, stakeholders can make informed decisions in agriculture, agro-business, and related industries, IMD DG added. National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX) and the India Meteorological Department (IMD) signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 26 Jun 2025. This strategic alliance lays the critical groundwork for the launch of India's first weather derivatives--a long-anticipated market instrument designed to help farmers and allied sectors hedge against climate-related risks such as erratic rainfall, heatwaves, and unseasonal weather events. With this partnership, NCDEX will develop a rainfall-based derivative product, among others, using historical and real-time datasets sourced from IMD. These datasets are extensively graded and quality verified, offering high-precision insights that can mimic real-world conditions with statistical accuracy. The weather product to be developed under this collaboration will enable seasonal and location-specific derivative contracts. They shall advance expertise on weather-related risks across agriculture, transportation, and allied industries. Arun Raste, Managing Director & CEO, NCDEX, said, 'This partnership with IMD opens the door to a new era in commodity markets. Weather derivatives have long been a foundational need towards building a climate-resilient rural economy. With climate volatility increasingly affecting the productivity and income of farmers, these instruments provide a market-based solution to weather risk. It gives me immense pleasure that NCDEX has taken the first step in bringing this innovation to India, empowering farmers, traders, and even sectors like tourism and transport to manage climate uncertainty more effectively.' The collaboration will support capacity-building, joint research, and training programmes for stakeholders including FPOs, agri-traders, policy think tanks, and analysts. (ANI)

Harpal Cheema bats for GST reforms to benefit agrarian states like Punjab

Finance minister Harpal Singh Cheema on Friday emphasised the need to bring structural changes in the goods and service tax (GST) regime and proposed policy recommendations for revenue augmentation, including food grains under its framework, reducing or nullifying the inverted duty structure, and making e-way bill generation and e-invoicing mandatory. Punjab Finance minister Harpal Singh Cheema during the first meeting of the group of ministers (GoM) on 'Analysis of Revenue from GST' held in New Delhi. (Sourced) Presenting a comprehensive overview of Punjab's revenue generation during the first meeting of the group of ministers (GoM) on 'Analysis of Revenue from GST' held in New Delhi, Cheema also suggested that a unified platform can be developed, giving access to all states and the Central Tax Authority for data analytics and detecting tax evasion and compliance issues. He also flagged the revenue loss the state faced due to the subsumption of various taxes following the implementation of GST in 2017. Cheema said that Punjab, as an agrarian economy, heavily relied on purchase tax and infrastructure development fee (ID fee) on the sale of grains (wheat and rice), collecting ₹3,094 crore in 2015-16, which represented 16.55% of its total tax revenue, and experienced a permanent loss of revenue as a result of subsumption of these taxes. He also pointed out the loss from the subsumption of central sales tax (CST), which previously contributed ₹568 crore to the state's exchequer. He claimed that under the previous VAT regime, Punjab had a higher collection of revenue as compared to the GST regime, expressing concern over a consistent shortfall in GST collection, with actual revenue significantly lower than the projected revenue based on a 14% growth rate on the base year. 'Had GST not been implemented, Punjab's revenue position would have been better, even with a conservative 10% CAGR growth,' he claimed, adding that the state faced a shortfall of ₹47,037 crore since July 1, 2022. The finance minister argued that states dependent on agriculture should be compensated for the permanent loss of revenue due to the subsumption of purchase tax on food grains. He also highlighted a paradoxical situation where major industrial sectors in Punjab, such as agricultural implements, cycle and cycle parts, and hosiery goods, show high gross turnovers but do not exhibit a commensurate increase in GST collection. 'This is largely due to GST being a destination-based consumption tax, leading to revenue flowing out of Punjab through SGST input tax credit adjustments against IGST liability, creating a net outflow of revenue,' he said. Further recommendations included making e-way bills mandatory for evasion-prone commodities irrespective of the threshold, mandatory e-invoicing for B2B supplies for manufacturers and B2C supplies, mandatory mapping of IP addresses with GSTN and E-way bills for tracking fraudulent taxpayers, and the introduction of geo-fencing. He also advocated for the development of a unified AI-based platform for data integration from various government portals for both central and state tax authorities, and mandatory biometric authentication for taxpayers registered before its implementation based on risk profiling. Cheema said that despite efforts in collection efficiency and revenue maximisation, the state faces persistent challenges in revenue generation. Besides Cheema, the GoM has the chief minister of Goa, deputy chief ministers of Bihar, Maharashtra, Telangana, and finance ministers of Andhra Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu as members. The terms of reference include analysis of state-wise revenue trends, impact of economic and other factors on GST revenue, anti-evasion and compliance tools integration, and policy recommendations for revenue augmentation.
