Keystone to redevelop Mumbai locality with Mhada, eyes GDV of Rs 4,521 cr
Keystone Realtors (Rustomjee Group) has got approval for its proposal to redevelop 25 buildings in GTB Nagar of Mumbai's Sion Koliwada that have a gross development value (GDV) of Rs 4,521 crore. Keystone will work on the project in collaboration with the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada), which gave a letter of approval (LoA) to the company. The redevelopment, spread across a plot area of 11.19 acres (45,308 square metres), will rehabilitate around 1,200 society members and unlock a saleable area of approximately 20.7 lakh square feet (sq ft) for Keystone. Constructed in 1958 for post-Independence migrants, the buildings in GTB Nagar were declared unsafe by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation in 2020 and subsequently demolished. Residents had to seek alternative accommodation on their own. In response to appeals by tenant societies, the state government approved the redevelopment of the site through Mhada, despite the land being privately owned. The state cabinet, in a meeting held on February 14, 2024, approved the redevelopment proposal through the appointment of a construction and development agency under Regulation 33(9) of the Development Control and Promotion Regulations. A corresponding government resolution was issued on 23 February 2024, designating Mhada as the special planning authority for the execution of this project. Legal petitions related to this project had reached the Bombay High Court and the Supreme Court. 'The Supreme Court's landmark judgement in this case has paved the way for Mhada to undertake similar projects in the future,' Mhada said. As per the proposal submitted by Mhada, a minimum floor space index (FSI) of 4.5 will be available, including fungible area. Each eligible family will receive a free home measuring 635 sq ft. Additionally, Mhada will receive 25,700 square metres of built-up space as housing stock. Until the project is completed, Mhada will provide a monthly rent of Rs 20,000 to the eligible tenants. Post-redevelopment, the state-owned agency will provide five years of maintenance charges. Boman Irani, chairman and managing director of Keystone Realtors, said: 'We are honoured to have received the LoA for the redevelopment of GTB Nagar in Sion, a project that carries the hopes of 1,200 society members and 200 slum residents. With over 1,400 families involved, this is among the largest redevelopment initiatives the city has seen, and we are privileged to be entrusted with this responsibility.' Recently, the Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board, a unit of Mhada, issued a tender for the cluster redevelopment of Kamathipura in South Mumbai. Spread across 34 acres, it includes approximately 943 cess buildings in lanes 1 to 15, with around 6,625 residential and 1,376 non-residential tenants, totalling 8,001 occupants. Meanwhile, mega redevelopment projects such as the Dharavi slum redevelopment (by Adani Group), the BDD Chawl project in Worli (by a consortium led by Tata Projects), the Bharat Nagar project in Bandra (by Omkar Realtors & Developers, Forum Homes, HDIL, and others), and the Motilal Nagar project in Goregaon (by Adani Group) are underway in Mumbai.

NetApp's Q1 Earnings Call: Our Top 5 Analyst Questions
NetApp's first quarter results reflected solid revenue growth and operational discipline, exceeding Wall Street's expectations for both sales and non-GAAP earnings. Management identified strong demand for all-flash storage systems and expansion in public cloud services as the main drivers of performance. CEO George Kurian noted, 'We gained almost 300 basis points of all-flash market share in calendar 2024, more than any other vendor as reported by IDC.' The company also highlighted accelerating growth in its Keystone storage-as-a-service offering and pointed to momentum from customer modernization projects as a factor in meeting customer needs for AI-ready infrastructure. Is now the time to buy NTAP? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $1.73 billion vs analyst estimates of $1.72 billion (3.8% year-on-year growth, 0.7% beat) Adjusted EPS: $1.93 vs analyst estimates of $1.90 (1.8% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $549 million vs analyst estimates of $542.5 million (31.7% margin, 1.2% beat) Revenue Guidance for Q2 CY2025 is $1.53 billion at the midpoint, below analyst estimates of $1.60 billion Adjusted EPS guidance for the upcoming financial year 2026 is $7.75 at the midpoint, beating analyst estimates by 0.6% Operating Margin: 20.1%, down from 21.9% in the same quarter last year Billings: $2.03 billion at quarter end, up 12% year on year Market Capitalization: $21.18 billion While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Tim Long (Barclays) sought clarity on the rationale behind cautious near-term guidance despite strong full-year expectations. CEO George Kurian linked the caution to uncertainty in select regions and the timing of large AI infrastructure deals, while CFO Wissam Jabre noted gradual margin improvement through the year. Samik Chatterjee (JPMorgan) asked if the recent deal slippage was ongoing and how macroeconomic caution factored into guidance. Kurian explained most delayed deals closed in the quarter, but persistent customer caution—especially in Europe—justified a prudent stance. Wamsi Mohan (Bank of America) inquired about the impact of tariffs and macro factors on demand and gross margins. Kurian quantified tariffs as a relatively small margin headwind and described their diverse supply chain as a mitigating factor. Meta Marshall (Morgan Stanley) questioned whether AI-driven cloud deals were being pulled forward or if adoption was just beginning. Kurian said AI adoption remains in early stages but is expanding, with cloud and AI use cases reinforcing each other. Jason Ader (William Blair) probed the potential for further cloud margin expansion and the impact of changes at VMware. Jabre expressed confidence in incremental cloud margin gains, while Kurian noted new opportunities as customers reevaluate their infrastructure providers. In upcoming quarters, our analysts will focus on (1) the pace at which AI infrastructure projects transition from proof of concept to production deployments, (2) evidence of recovery or continued caution in key public sector and EMEA markets, and (3) further expansion of high-margin cloud services and Keystone subscription adoption. The ability to consistently close large enterprise deals and adapt to evolving industry standards will also be important markers for NetApp's strategic progress. NetApp currently trades at $106.99, up from $99.28 just before the earnings. Is there an opportunity in the stock?The answer lies in our full research report (it's free). Market indices reached historic highs following Donald Trump's presidential victory in November 2024, but the outlook for 2025 is clouded by new trade policies that could impact business confidence and growth. While this has caused many investors to adopt a "fearful" wait-and-see approach, we're leaning into our best ideas that can grow regardless of the political or macroeconomic climate.

China signals rare earths will flow, US trade truce 'further confirmed'
The U.S. and Chinese flags are placed on a negotiating table during bilateral talks in Geneva on May 10. (Keystone/EDA via Reuters) WATARU SUZUKI and STELLA YIFAN XIE SHANGHAI/HONG KONG -- China's Ministry of Commerce on Friday said it will process export applications for "controlled items," echoing U.S. officials' comments that they have reached a deal with Beijing to resume exports of rare earths. An unnamed spokesperson said the two sides have maintained close communication since meeting in London earlier this month, where they restored a trade truce reached in Geneva in May. The countries have "further confirmed the details of the framework," according to a Q&A published on the ministry's website.
