Govt Finds 'Errors' in SC Ruling on JSW-Bhushan Deal, Likely to Seek Stay: Sources

Image
 After carefully examining the Supreme Court’s May 2 ruling that invalidated JSW Steel’s ₹19,700 crore acquisition of Bhushan Power and Steel Ltd (BPSL), government officials believe the judgment contains significant “errors” that merit a review. According to two senior government officials, the committee of creditors (CoC) plans to file a review petition with the Supreme Court within the next two weeks. “The goal is to secure a stay on the SC order because we believe the ruling has major inaccuracies. Several points raised by the apex court regarding misconduct by the resolution professional or the NCLT/NCLAT are not factually correct,” one official told Moneycontrol after reviewing the judgment. Earlier this week, JSW Steel’s top management met with officials from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI), and the Department of Financial Services (DFS) to discuss next steps, sources said. On Monday, Financial Services Secretar...

BofA Predicts Nifty to Reach 26,500 by 2025, Expects Broader Market Underperformance

Image
Bank of America (BofA) has projected the Nifty 50 index to reach 26,500 by 2025, signaling a moderate growth outlook for India's benchmark stock index. The global financial institution's forecast suggests a more cautious trajectory for the broader market, expecting it to underperform relative to the Nifty in the coming years. BofA analysts have highlighted a challenging macroeconomic environment, including global interest rate hikes and geopolitical tensions, as key factors weighing on market sentiment. They anticipate that while large-cap stocks represented by the Nifty 50 may show resilience due to robust earnings growth and financial stability, the broader market, including mid and small-cap stocks, is likely to face headwinds in comparison.
