1. SBI Suspends FX and Trade Transactions for Sanction-Linked Firms
State Bank of India (SBI) has suspended foreign exchange and trade transactions for companies with exposure to sanctioned entities. This cautious approach is to avoid any indirect impact from U.S. tariffs and EU restrictions. Market watchers say such actions reflect how global trade rules are reshaping Indian banking practices
2. PayNearby Plans 2026 IPO Amid Fintech Boom
Fintech platform PayNearby announced plans to go public in FY26. The firm, with ₹3,000 crore revenue and a 1.2 million-strong retail partner network, will use IPO proceeds to fuel expansion. Merchant bankers are being shortlisted, and investors see this as one of the hottest fintech listings on the horizon.
3. SEBI Proposes Pilot Platform for Pre-IPO Trading
SEBI has floated a proposal for a regulated pilot platform to trade pre-IPO shares. This move aims to replace grey market transactions with transparent, regulated activity—helping investors and startups transact safely before public listing.
4. Fresh IPO Calendar: 8 New Issues + 7 Listings
Investors can gear up for 8 fresh IPOs and 7 listings this week. Upcoming issues include Vikram Solar, Shreeji Shipping, Gem Aromatics, and Patel Retail. Analysts say retail participation remains strong despite market volatility.
5. Mangal Electrical IPO Oversubscribed 3×; GMP Rising
The ₹400 crore IPO of Mangal Electrical drew strong demand—3× subscribed overall, with non-institutional investors booking 8×. Its grey market premium (GMP) suggests a 5–6% listing gain, supported by FY25 results showing doubled profits and RoNW of 22.5%.
6. Vikram Solar, Gem Aromatics & Patel Retail IPOs Shine
-
Vikram Solar: Oversubscribed 54×, GMP hints at 15% upside.
-
Gem Aromatics: 30× subscription, GMP suggests ~9% gain.
-
Patel Retail: A blockbuster 95× subscription, GMP pointing at ~20% listing premium.
IPO investors remain bullish on niche sector players.
7. SEBI Relaxes Norms for Mega IPOs
SEBI has cleared the way for mega IPOs by allowing large-cap firms (₹5 trillion+ market cap) to sell just 2.5% shares instead of 5% during IPOs. The timeline for achieving 25% public shareholding has also been extended. This paves the way for potential listings like Reliance Jio and NSE.
8. U.S.–India Tariff Tensions Escalate
The U.S. imposed fresh tariffs on Indian steel, aluminium, and select tech goods citing trade imbalances and security concerns. In retaliation, India is preparing counter-tariffs on American agricultural and energy imports. Economists warn this could raise input costs for Indian industries, though some exporters may benefit from government subsidies. Investors are closely tracking how this will impact listed and unlisted manufacturing firms, especially in steel, renewable energy, and IT services.
9. Foreign Investors Pull ₹20,976 Crore in August
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued selling, pulling out nearly ₹21,000 crore from equities in the first half of August. Banking, IT, and energy stocks led the outflows. Analysts cite U.S. tariff actions, weak earnings in some sectors, and global bond yields as key drivers.
10. Vedanta Faces Demerger Roadblock; Eyes Dividend
Vedanta’s demerger plan hit a hurdle as SEBI and the government flagged disclosure gaps, delaying the NCLT hearing to September. Meanwhile, its board is considering another interim dividend, while subsidiaries like Hindustan Zinc announced big ESG investments.
