Key Market Highlights

S&P Global Ratings just lifted the outlook for three big Adani Group companies—Adani Ports, Adani Electricity Mumbai, and Adani Green Energy. The boost reflects stronger cash flows and easier access to funds, even as legal probes continue. If you hold any of these stocks, the rating change could mean lower borrowing costs and a steadier share price.

On the currency front, the Indian Rupee to Israeli Shekel rate sits around 24.01 INR per ILS as of mid‑June 2025. The rate has been wobbling modestly, so travelers and importers should keep an eye on daily moves to avoid surprises.

In the banking sector, a massive strike is set to shut down 3,319 branches across Jharkhand for four days in March. The shutdown could delay transactions, affect cash flow for small businesses, and temporarily boost digital payments as customers look for alternatives.

Important Corporate Actions

CDSL announced a 1:1 bonus share issue, marking its first-ever bonus for shareholders. The record date is August 24, 2025, and the move follows a sharp profit jump and an 18% share price rise over two weeks.

Waaree Energies reported a four‑fold profit increase in Q3, with revenue soaring 116% year‑on‑year. Their order book now totals 26.5 GW worth about ₹50,000 crore, underscoring the rapid growth of the solar and renewable energy market in India.

Meanwhile, Byju’s founder Byju Raveendran pledged to repay a $1.2 billion term loan to U.S. lenders before tapping personal funds. The commitment comes amid ongoing insolvency proceedings, but the company still boasts 200 million monthly users, showing resilience despite legal headwinds.

Leadership shake‑ups are also in the news. Anup Kumar Saha quit as Managing Director of Bajaj Finance after just three months, fueling speculation that he might become the next CEO of IndusInd Bank. Bajaj Finance quickly reinstated Rajeev Jain, and the market reacted sharply, highlighting how quickly leadership moves can affect stock sentiment.

Lastly, the Federal Reserve decided to hold interest rates steady at 5.25%‑5.5% amid lingering inflation concerns. The decision reflects a balancing act between keeping growth alive and preventing price spikes, a dynamic that will ripple through loan rates, corporate borrowing, and consumer spending.

All these stories tie into a bigger picture: the Indian market is navigating legal scrutiny, currency fluctuations, and rapid growth in renewable energy, while global monetary policy remains cautious. Stay alert, track the numbers that matter to you, and use these updates to make smarter financial decisions.
