Wednesday raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50%, its first rate hike in nearly four years, as rising oil prices amid US-Iran tensions and a weak monsoon threaten to push inflation higher.The six-member rate panel voted unanimously in favour of the rate hike. The committee changed its policy stance to calibrated tightening from neutral, signaling further rate hikes may be on the table.The repo rate was last raised in February 2023, when it was increased by 25 basis points to 6.50%.ALSO READ | Why RBI MPC lifted repo rates for the first time in nearly four years in October policy Of the 21 economists and bank executives polled by ET, 20 had expected the RBI to raise rates.The move marks the first rate hike under Governor Sanjay Malhotra, who took office in December 2024 and oversaw a series of rate cuts last year. It also puts the RBI in line with several Asian peers like Bank of Japan and Bank of Korea that have started tightening policy in response to renewed inflation pressures.The MPC “observed, in light of the available data, that it is clear that inflation and its outlook are not benign as they were last year,” Malhotra said in a televised statement from the RBI headquarters in Mumbai. Against that backdrop, he added that “recalibrating the policy rate” had become “an imperative.”The RBI’s revised stance “underscored that given the current conditions, rate cuts are off the table in the near term, and policy action can only be a hike or a pause, depending on the evolving conditions,” Malhotra added.ALSO READ | RBI raises FY27 GDP forecast to 7.1% from 6.7%Since the RBI’s last policy meeting in August, oil prices have surged above $100 a barrel, the rupee has weakened and inflation has accelerated.With inflation nearing 5% in the last three month and expected to move closer to the upper end of the RBI’s 2%-6% tolerance band in the December quarter, economists expect the central bank to continue tightening.On the macroeconomic front, the central bank upgraded India’s growth forecast for fiscal year 2026-27 to 7.1% from 6.7%. In addition to this, it revised its FY27 inflation target upward to 5.2% from 5.0%.Consequently, the standing deposit facility (SDF) rate stands adjusted at 5.25% and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate at 5.75%.ALSO READ | RBI MPC Meeting at a Glance: Your one step guide for all decisionsThe RBI's hike acknowledges that cyclical inflation risks are no longer benign, said Radhika Rao, senior economist, DBS Bank, adding that a change in stance also underscored the RBI MPC's "hawkish intent.""Against a backdrop of elevated oil prices, tighter global conditions, and risks to food inflation from unfavourable weather, policymakers have chosen to reinforce inflation credibility before risks become entrenched."ALSO READ | Central bank raises inflation forecast to 5.2% for FY27The benchmark 10-year bond yield rose as much as seven basis points to 7.27% after the decision. The rupee was largely steady at 96.40 to a dollar.Crude back above $100 a barrelEscalating conflict in the Middle East has pushed crude prices above $100 a barrel, threatening to raise costs across an economy that imports most of its energy. A weak monsoon, meanwhile, could add to pressure on food prices.Brent crossed $101 today. It ended September at around $103, well above the RBI’s FY27 forecast of $85 a barrel. Goldman Sachs has also outlined a scenario in which oil prices could rise to as much as $120 a barrel if attacks on vessels in the Middle East intensify. If exports return to normal, the bank expects oil prices to move back towards $80 a barrel.The combination of higher crude prices and supply disruptions has added to inflation concerns globally. Domestically, economists see inflation potentially rising above the RBI’s 6% tolerance limit in the third quarter.The narrowing interest-rate differential between India and the US is another factor that weighed on the RBI’s decision.A narrower gap can make US assets relatively more attractive to investors and add pressure on the rupee.Foreign investors have pulled a record amount from Indian equities this year, amid elevated US yields, high oil prices and a weaker rupee. The NSE Nifty 50 has declined for eight consecutive weeks—its longest losing streak in 25 years.Too much cashThe RBI is also dealing with a large pool of excess liquidity that has pushed overnight borrowing costs below the policy rate, making financial conditions easier than intended.Much of the surplus came from the RBI’s June push to attract foreign-currency deposits to support the rupee. The move brought in about $133 billion, far above initial expectations of $50 billion-85 billion. While the inflows strengthened India’s external buffers, they also injected a large amount of liquidity into the banking system at a time when inflationary pressures were building.The central bank has already drained more than ₹1 lakh crore ($10.4 billion) through bond sales and other measures, as per Bloomberg.Traders will now look for signals on how aggressively the RBI plans to absorb the remaining surplus alongside further rate hikes.]]> </description><link>https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/rbi-mpc-meeting-2026-malhotra-co-hike-repo-rate-by-25-bps-to-5-50-for-first-time-in-nearly-4-years-as-inflation-pressures-build/articleshow/134755020.cms</link><guid>https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/rbi-mpc-meeting-2026-malhotra-co-hike-repo-rate-by-25-bps-to-5-50-for-first-time-in-nearly-4-years-as-inflation-pressures-build/articleshow/134755020.cms</guid><pubDate>Wed, 07 Oct 2026 10:02:38 +0530</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Office realty leasing rises 30%, on track to beat last year high]]> </title><description><![CDATA[Mumbai: Robust demand for office spaces has pushed commercial property leasing in the first three quarters of 2019 by 30% from a year ago, taking it closer to entire 2018’s performance and making sure that this year surpasses the peak touched last year.Driven by tech corporates — accounting for about a third of the leasing activity — office space take-up touched 47 million sq ft in the first nine months against entire 2018’s performance of 48.9 million sq ft, showed data from CBRE South Asia. With this, office leasing activity is now expected to touch its highest level ever, estimated to be over 60 million sq ft in 2019.Leasing activity stood at about 15.4 million sq ft during the quarter ended September, rising by nearly 23% on an annual basis. This was dominated by small- to medium-sized transactions. Small-sized transactions of less than 10,000 sq ft accounted for over 40% of the transaction activity in the quarter.

“With office leasing scaling a historic high in 2019, we expect further strengthening of occupier sentiment in the medium to long term, backed by corporates looking to expand or consolidate their operations. Favourable government initiatives, transparency in the real estate sector and the right reforms will improve investor sentiment greatly in the coming quarters,” said Anshuman Magazine, CEO, India, South-east Asia, Middle East and Africa, CBRE.Like last year, he expects occupiers would put in greater efforts to incorporate flexibility in their portfolios due to changes in the business environment. Occupiers continued to futureproof their portfolios and hedge against future rental escalations by pre-leasing space across various cities.Bengaluru, followed by Hyderabad, dominated large-sized deal closures, while a few large deals were also reported in the NCR and Pune as well. Large-scale deal closures were mostly dominated by tech firms and flexible space operators. Firms belonging to sectors such as research, consulting &amp; analytics, banking, financial services &amp; insurance (BFSI), and engineering &amp; manufacturing also closed large-sized deals.Tech corporates led the office space take-up, followed by research, consulting &amp; analytics companies (19%) and flexible space operators (15%). The rise in the share of flexible space operators (10% in the second quarter of 2019) was primarily a result of their continued expansion across almost all cities.“The share of the tech sector rose from 31% to 40% annually during 2019 year-to-date, which implies that a rise in technology alternatives, insourcing / job preservation in the US and a global slowdown have not had any specific impact on India’s position as a preferred outsourcing destination for both high-skilled and low-skilled tech services, research and development,” said Ram Chandnani, managing director, advisory &amp; transaction services, India, CBRE South Asia.Supply addition rose by more than 80% in 2019 YTD on an annual basis, with about 43.5 million sq. ft. of development completions reported.Four cities — Hyderabad, Bengaluru, NCR and Mumbai — accounted for almost 80% of this supply addition.Compared to the first three quarters in 2018, the share of SEZs in supply dipped from 40% to 27% during 2019 YTD. Supply addition in the quarter also rose by about 6% on a quarterly basis, touching about 15 million sq. ft. More than 70% of this supply was driven by Hyderabad and NCR, followed by Bengaluru.]]> </description><link>https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/office-realty-leasing-rises-30-on-track-to-beat-last-year-high/articleshow/71641557.cms</link><guid>https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/office-realty-leasing-rises-30-on-track-to-beat-last-year-high/articleshow/71641557.cms</guid><pubDate>Fri, 18 Oct 2019 08:18:48 +0530</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Developers may face liquidity crisis on NBFC woes: Fitch]]> </title><description><![CDATA[MUMBAI: Liquidity risk is increasing for Indian-based real-estate developers, as non-bank financial institutions (NBFI; including housing finance companies) are shying away from lending to the sector, said Fitch Ratings.Developers that rely on refinancing from NBFIs, particularly those with weak financial profiles, will be affected the most should conditions persist. The availability of unencumbered assets among large developers may be of limited use, as NBFIs are looking to shed their already-high exposure to the sector, especially to large borrowers.NBFIs have disproportionately increased their share of real-estate sector credit in the previous few years, owing to heightened risk aversion by banks; banks have been cutting exposure due to their own funding challenges that began in late 2018, which have become more acute in the previous few months; domestic bank exposures fell to 2.3% of loans in the financial year ending March 2019 from 2.8% in 2015-16.NBFIs are now also shying away from refinancing maturing debt of even large, proven developers to limit concentration risk to the sector. This is pushing developers towards alternative funding channels, such as private equity. The availability of such funding could be more limited than the value of maturing debt and may only be available to established developers with sufficient unpledged assets. It would also come at a higher cost. We believe banks may still consider exposure to quality real estate, but overall exposure continues to decline.Developers that are focused on high-end projects may face higher risk, as sales of such projects have slowed in the last two years. We believe these developers would be wary of taking sharp price corrections on unsold inventory to boost sales, except in extreme circumstances, as this could diminish the value of unsold inventory and weaken collateral cover for existing lenders.In addition, any boost in sales would be temporary. Meanwhile, developers with substantial exposure to affordable housing may still benefit from marginal access to lenders in light of healthy pre-sales growth, supported by India's substantial housing deficit and government incentives for buyers via the credit-linked subsidy scheme as well as for developers, including tax deductions and grant of infrastructure status, which entitles companies to some benefits and concessions.The government has announced measures to improve NBFI-sector liquidity, but their efficacy remains to be seen. For example, we believe the government's July 2019 announcement to provide a first-loss guarantee of 10% on securitised assets issued by NBFIs to banks could ease funding pressure for NBFIs in the short term. However, the provision refers only to financially sound issuers and there is a lack of clarity about the duration of the guarantee and the definition of what comprises a 'financially sound' entity. In addition, most of the actions by the authorities to alleviate the liquidity squeeze will benefit the largest and least risky NBFIs and is unlikely to address the pressure on the more property focused players.Defaults by two NBFIs - Infrastructure Leasing &amp; Financial Services Ltd (IL&amp;FS) in September 2018 and Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Ltd (DHFL) in June 2019 - have contributed to the sector-wide liquidity squeeze, as investors have become more risk averse. Banks' low appetite for lending to real-estate developers is evidenced by the usually high risk weights attached to such loans. These are due to developers' typically low credit ratings amid high leverage, making exposure to the sector an inefficient use of banks' already-limited capital.Substantial bank recapitalisation to increase lending capacity could benefit NBFIs as well as real-estate developers, subject to the banks' risk appetite. Although a structural improvement in NBFI asset books would take time. Nonetheless, even under better conditions we expect NBFI's to tighten credit standards, with developers facing funding pressure until there is a broader improvement in their operations, with better end-user demand and pricing support. ]]> </description><link>https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/services/property-/-cstruction/developers-may-face-liquidity-crisis-on-nbfc-woes-fitch/articleshow/70700244.cms</link><guid>https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/services/property-/-cstruction/developers-may-face-liquidity-crisis-on-nbfc-woes-fitch/articleshow/70700244.cms</guid><pubDate>Fri, 16 Aug 2019 15:59:50 +0530</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adani Green to seek board nod to raise up to $1 billion]]> </title><description><![CDATA[Adani Green Energy is set to seek board approval to raise Rs 6,150 crore ($750 million) to Rs 8,200 crore ($1 billion) through the qualified institutional placement (QIP) route, said people aware of the matter.Two group companies had got approval of their boards for fundraising on May 13 —Adani Enterprises (Rs 12,500 crore) and Adani Transmission (Rs 8,500 crore).The exercise is part of a group plan outlined internally last year to build a “three-year equity cushion” to support expansion plans.Adani Green has secured such capital-raising permission every year from its board except in 2021, as per a Bloomberg analysis.The capital raised by Adani Green Energy will be used to repay an outstanding $750 million, three-year bond issued in 2021 that’s due next year. The money is likely to be kept in a dedicated redemption reserve account and paid on the due date, said the people cited above.Renegotiating Terms With TotalThe original plan had been to prepay the bond after special Reserve Bank of India (RBI) approval but the company decided against this move.“We do not comment on routine business matters. All public disclosures on business matters are disclosed when appropriate,” an Adani Group spokesperson told ET.Adani Green is also renegotiating the terms of its agreement with French utilities giant TotalEnergies for a proposed $4 billion investment in a green hydrogen venture, having signed a memorandum of understanding in 2022. In February, Total said it was pausing the plan in the wake of the Hindenburg Research report on the Adani Group alleging stock manipulation and fraud. The Adani Group has rejected the report’s findings.Total had said it won’t immediately proceed with the plan that involved taking a 25% stake in Adani New Industries Ltd (ANIL), a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises.In June last year, ANIL and TotalEnergies had outlined a capex plan of $50 billion to set up a 2.5 million metric tonnes per annum (mmtpa) of green hydrogen manufacturing capacity over the next 10 years, with the first phase of 1 mmtpa expected to be commissioned before 2030. Total had also made a total $10 billion capital commitment to the hydrogen venture, standing guarantor to 50% of the project’s debt, translating to $6 billion, ET had reported February 13.ANIL plans to manufacture green hydrogen and downstream products such as ammonia, urea, methanol and ethanol at its Khavda and Mundra SEZ facilities. The Khavda site has a land bank of 71,000 acres, which has a large-scale renewable deployment potential of 20 GW due to its high wind and solar resource potential.After the initial MoU, a more detailed ‘heads of agreement’ — pre-contractual negotiations for a commercial framework — was originally planned to be signed between May and September this year. But this is unlikely at this juncture.The Adani Group has, however, continued with the project work in Mundra on its own, aiming to complete a substantial part of the first phase of the integrated manufacturing ecosystem for ANIL by December.This involves 4.5 GW of solar module manufacturing capacity and 1.5 GW of wind turbine manufacturing capacity along with electrolysers, glass, aluminium frames etc. Analysts say over 5% of the total capex has already been incurred by Adani though the bulk of the work is scheduled for 2026-2028. Any binding agreement with Total is now expected only in 2024 or 2025 and the valuation and the overall commercial terms is likely to get altered as the French company is not incurring any of the greenfield project risks, they said.“We have 40 GW of land equivalent. We've been doing solar modules for the past five years. We know we will produce modules at 15 cents to 17 cents,” Robbie Singh, chief financial officer of Adani Enterprises, had told ET on January 22.Other than the green hydrogen project, Total has just over $3 billion of investments with Adani, including in gas distribution and solar projects, which it has played down as a small 2.4% slice of its total capital commitments.]]> </description><link>https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/banking/finance/adani-green-to-seek-board-nod-to-raise-up-to-1-billion/articleshow/100459690.cms</link><guid>https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/banking/finance/adani-green-to-seek-board-nod-to-raise-up-to-1-billion/articleshow/100459690.cms</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 May 2023 06:36:08 +0530</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[At Rs 10,000 crore, Anil Ambani's Reliance Capital recovery may be only 43%]]> </title><description><![CDATA[Lenders to Anil Ambani-promoted Reliance Capital are likely to recover just about ₹10,000 crore after the winning bidder, Hinduja Group, declined to significantly improve its offer in the last round of bilateral negotiations that ended on Monday evening, people aware of the development told ET. The recovery, totalling about ₹10,090 crore on factoring in the target company's cash balances and the Hinduja offer, falls short of the ₹12,500-13,000 crore estimated liquidation value. A Hinduja Group entity, IndusInd International Holdings, offered ₹9,650 crore in the extended auction held on April 26. Hinduja improved the offer by only ₹10 crore during the bilateral negotiations, the people cited above said. In addition, the distressed financial services company has around Rs 430 crore as cash balances, which would be distributed among the lenders. This would add up to Rs 10,090 crore, equating to a 43% recovery for verified lenders.Administrator Nageswara Rao Y has admitted Rs 23,666 crore in claims from verified creditors."Hinduja Group will submit a detailed resolution plan by next week while lenders are in the process of finalising distribution of the proceeds," one of the persons cited above said. After this, the administrator will invite lenders to vote on the eligible plans.However, resolution of Reliance Capital will be subject to approval from the Supreme Court, which is scheduled to hear in August the auction-related dispute between Torrent Investments, a bidder also in the fray in the earlier rounds.  100459497Crucial LIC, EPFO RolesThe stand by LIC, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) and JC Flowers Asset Reconstruction Co on approving the plan will be critical since they are majority debtholders. Yes Bank, an original Reliance Capital lender, sold its debt to JC Flowers ARC. A resolution plan can be approved only if 66% of creditors vote in its favour.Separately, Credit Suisse-led bondholders have decided not to contest a decision by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), which directed them to return the custody of Reliance General Insurance shares to the administrator, said the people cited above.This has come as a major relief to the lenders that were worried the resolution might be delayed if Credit Suisse-led bondholders appealed against the tribunal's order.In 2018, Credit Suisse-led investors invested in bonds issued by Reliance Home Finance, a Reliance Capital unit. The home finance company failed to honour the payment on the due date. ]]> </description><link>https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/banking/finance/at-rs-10000-crore-anil-ambanis-reliance-capital-recovery-may-be-only-43/articleshow/100459486.cms</link><guid>https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/banking/finance/at-rs-10000-crore-anil-ambanis-reliance-capital-recovery-may-be-only-43/articleshow/100459486.cms</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 May 2023 06:01:03 +0530</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Foreign investors pull out $26.3 billion from emerging markets in September as hawkish Fed pushes US Treasury yields higher]]> </title><description><![CDATA[Foreign investors withdrew $26.3 billion from emerging-market stocks and bonds in September, marking the first monthly outflow since June, as a hawkish Federal Reserve pushed US yields and the dollar higher, the Institute of International Finance said on Wednesday, Reuters reported.Non-resident investors pulled $7 billion from emerging-market fixed-income assets during the month, resulting in the first net outflow since March, when an escalating conflict in the Middle East unsettled global markets.Emerging markets came under pressure after the Fed, led by Kevin Warsh, raised interest rates for the first time since 2023 and signalled that inflation remained a concern.The Federal Open Market Committee's decision sent US Treasury yields sharply higher, strengthened the dollar and prompted investors to retreat from riskier assets.“The pressure built in the second half of the month, as hard currency bond funds turned to outflows in the week of the FOMC decision and EM dollar credit spreads widened,” the report said, according to Reuters.“Looking ahead, a hawkish Warsh Fed that projects further hikes, a BoJ (Bank of Japan) at its highest policy rate since 1995 and broad tightening across advanced economies all raise the hurdle for EM carry into the fourth quarter,” it added.Heavy foreign selling in South Korea drove a $19.2 billion outflow from emerging-market equities in September, according to the IIF.“Foreign selling of Korean equities has run through most of the year, and its September peak came after a 62% rise in the KOSPI this year,” the institute said.The retreat also coincided with cooling enthusiasm around the artificial-intelligence-driven technology rally that had lifted several Asian markets this year. Investors locked in gains from richly valued semiconductor and technology stocks.All regions recorded fixed-income outflows in September, although the asset class has still attracted $246 billion from foreign portfolio investors so far this year.The picture was weaker for equities, where year-to-date outflows reached $113.9 billion, compared with $27.3 billion during the same period last year.

Cisco Systems Inc. is fighting a suit brought by California’s civil rights agency alleging bias against a member of India’s so-called lower castes, known as Dalits.Anita Nariani Schulze is part of the Sindhi minority -- she is Hindu, with ancestry in the Sindh region of what is now Pakistan. Her complaint alleges that her senior and direct managers, both male, consistently excluded her from meetings while inviting her male counterparts, criticized her, micromanaged her work, and deprived her of bonuses, despite positive performance evaluations and significant team contributions.Schulze claims the managers’ animus reflects sexism, racism, religious bias and discrimination on the basis of national origin. The Sindhi Hindu nationality is “known for its technical acumen” and its gender equality, she says, which “exacerbated the managers’ discriminatory treatment.”In a tentative ruling on Wednesday, Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Sunil R. Kulkarni rejected Apple’s request to toss out the suit. While not ruling on the merits of the case, Kulkarni said Schulze had adequately supported her legal claims. Apple had argued her claims weren’t specific enough and were based on stereotypes.But the judge rejected Schulze’s request to represent a class of female Apple employees who suffered job discrimination over the last four years. He agreed with Apple that she didn’t show a pattern of discrimination that could be applied to a broader group.It wasn’t clear from the court’s docket whether the judge will hold a hearing Thursday before issuing a final ruling.Apple didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.In the Cisco case, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing alleged that two Indian employees at the San Jose-based company discriminated against a Dalit co-worker on the basis of caste.Cisco has denied the claims, insisting it has “zero tolerance for discrimination.” It also said the lawsuit should be tossed out because caste isn’t a protected category under U.S. civil rights law.]]> </description><link>https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/technology/apple-faces-indian-engineers-bias-lawsuit/articleshow/81694292.cms</link><guid>https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/technology/apple-faces-indian-engineers-bias-lawsuit/articleshow/81694292.cms</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Mar 2021 23:14:01 +0530</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ravi Shankar Prasad questions Arnab Goswami's arrest]]> </title><description><![CDATA[NEW DELHI: Law Minister and senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday described the arrest of Republic TV Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami as "seriously reprehensible, unwarranted and worrisome."He also questioned the silence of the Congress leadership when its government in Maharashtra was "blatantly suppressing freedom of press."Police on Wednesday arrested Goswami in Mumbai for allegedly abetting suicide of a 53-year-old interior designer, a police official said."The arrest of senior journalist Arnab Goswami is seriously reprehensible, unwarranted and worrisome.
