Key gauges remain in green in morning deals
Sep-12-2025

Indian equity benchmarks continued to trade in green in morning deals, in-tandem with a global market rally.  Some support came as the government said that the GST reforms will bring down the overall tax on coal and reduce the cost of power generation. However, gains remain capped as some concern came with exchange data showed Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers, offloading equities worth Rs 3,472.37 crore on September 11. Sector-wise, sugar stocks remained in watch as the Indian Sugar and Bio-energy Manufacturers Association (ISMA) stated that India's sugar output is expected at 34.90 million tonne in the 2025-26 season starting in October. Overall, improved cane quality in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu is supporting a marginal rise in sugar output. On the global front, Asian markets are trading mostly in green, extending a rally that has lifted Wall Street to fresh records, as investors grew confident the US Federal Reserve will deliver an interest rate cut next week.

Meanwhile, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) President Shailesh Chandra has said that India must act decisively to fully leverage the vast opportunities that exist in India for developing the entire rare earth magnet ecosystem. The government is considering incentives for the production of rare earth minerals and magnets in response to China's restrictions on its global supply, which have disrupted the supply chain.

He said magnets have since snowballed and industry is presently trying to somehow manage its businesses. He stated ‘There are discussions underway to look at the possibility of developing the entire Rare Earth Magnet ecosystem in India. Therefore, to fully leverage the vast opportunities that exist in our country, we must act decisively.’ Further, he said the Indian automotive industry today stands at an inflexion point, exporting at record levels, steadily advancing in localisation and building the foundation for future-ready technologies. However, India's share in global automotive trade remains modest.

He said, Thus, ‘leaving substantial headroom for growth in both volume and value. Increasing exports is now a strategic imperative for deepening our integration into global value chains.’ To strengthen domestic manufacturing capabilities, the Government has put in place a robust policy landscape in recent years, e.g. PLI, that has provided considerable momentum for industry to remain resilient even in the challenging times. Besides, Chandra said ‘We need to, one, continue to strengthen advanced manufacturing capabilities to meet global standards, two, enhance investments in R&D or cleaner vehicle technologies, third, build resilient supplier ecosystems that are globally competitive on quality, cost and delivery.’
