India accuses Walmart's Myntra of breaching foreign investment rules
BENGALURU: India's financial crime agency said on Wednesday it was investigating Walmart's fashion business Myntra Designs for allegedly breaching laws prohibiting foreign wholesalers from selling to consumers. The case comes amid growing scrutiny of e-commerce players in India. An antitrust investigation last year found Amazon and Walmart's other e-commerce platform, Flipkart, favoured select sellers and resorted to 'predatory pricing', hurting smaller retailers. The companies denied the allegations. Myntra, owned by Flipkart, sells fashion brands on its own e-commerce website. Detailing its findings from an investigation, India's Enforcement Directorate said that Myntra declared it was a wholesaler and received $192 million of foreign investment, but then sold most of its goods to a group entity that retailed those products to consumers. 'Myntra Designs Pvt. Ltd was actually carrying out multi-brand retail trading in the guise of wholesale cash & carry,' the agency said. Myntra said in a statement that it had not received documents related to the case from the authorities but that it remained 'fully committed to cooperating with them at any point of time'. Some Walmart garment orders from Bangladesh on hold due to US tariff threat Walmart did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In a bid to protect domestic retailers and traders, India prohibits foreign companies engaging in wholesale business to make any direct sales to consumers. E-commerce business is also restricted, with foreign-owned companies like Myntra, Amazon and Flipkart allowed to operate marketplaces to connect buyers and individual sellers online, but not to stock goods or offer them directly to consumers. The Enforcement Directorate said it had filed a complaint against Myntra before an adjudicating authority, without giving details. Flipkart and Amazon have also faced allegations of breaching India's foreign investment rules. A 2021 Reuters investigation based on internal Amazon documents showed the company for years gave preferential treatment to small groups of sellers, and used them to bypass Indian laws. Amazon has denied wrongdoing. Amazon and Flipkart are leading players in India's e-commerce market, which was estimated to be worth $125 billion in 2024 and is set to top $345 billion by 2030, according to India Brand Equity Foundation. Founded in 2007, Bengaluru-based Myntra was acquired by Flipkart in 2014. Walmart bought a controlling stake in Flipkart in 2018 for $16 billion. Myntra reported revenues of nearly $600 million in 2023-24, up 15% on the previous year.

IndusInd Bank to raise up to $3.5 billion, allow Hindujas to nominate two board seats
India's IndusInd Bank will raise up to $3.47 billion and allow promoters to nominate two board directors, the private sector lender said on Wednesday, as it seeks to restore confidence after a $230 million accounting lapse. IndusInd is looking to secure 300 billion rupees in funding, comprising a 200 billion rupees debt issue on a private placement basis and a 100 billion rupees capital increase through issue or placement of securities. The bank's net worth took a $230 million hit in the fiscal year ended March 31 due to years of misaccounting of internal derivative trades, prompting the resignations of CEO Sumant Kathpalia and deputy Arun Khurana in April. The UK-based Hinduja family own a 15.82% stake in the bank and are listed as its promoters, a regulatory classification in India for large shareholders who control key decision-making. India's IndusInd Bank to consider raising funds The Hindujas can now nominate up to two directors on IndusInd's board, the bank said, adding that the move was approved by India's central bank. Promoters previously did not have representation on the board. IndusInd, currently run by an executive committee, has shortlisted three senior bankers - Rajiv Anand, Rahul Shukla, and Anup Saha - for the position of CEO, Reuters reported last month. Saha resigned as non-bank lender Bajaj Finance's managing director on Monday. IndusInd will report its first-quarter results on July 28.

India investigates Walmart's Myntra for breaching foreign investment rules
Walmart's Indian fashion arm Myntra is being investigated for allegedly breaching rules that ban foreign-funded wholesale retailers from selling directly to consumers, India's federal crime fighting agency said on Wednesday. Myntra has raised nearly $192 million from foreign investors, the Enforcement Directorate said, without naming the investors. The company, registered as a wholesale retailer, sold the majority of its products to a retailer it owned, which then sold the products on Myntra's website, the agency said. Myntra and Walmart did not immediately respond to requests for comment. India's investment rules only allow foreign e-commerce companies to run a marketplace to connect buyers and sellers, and they cannot stock and sell goods to customers on their own. Some Walmart garment orders from Bangladesh on hold due to US tariff threat Other companies including Walmart's Flipkart and Amazon have often faced allegations of breaching such rules using certain sellers - allegations the companies have denied. Founded in 2007, Bengaluru-based Myntra operates an online marketplace that specializes in fashion and lifestyle products. The company last reported an annual revenue of nearly $599 million, according to Tofler data.
