India's defence spending for the financial year 2025-26 is expected to stabilise around 1.9 to 2 per cent of GDP, consistent with recent years. While this offers financial stability, it may not be enough to counter escalating external threats. At the 21st Subroto Mukerjee Seminar, Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh highlighted the importance of prioritising resource allocation rather than increasing funds, noting that the current budget already stretches the absorptive capacity of domestic industries.

Norges Bank Investment Management, the world's largest sovereign wealth fund. In India, it has over $30 billion parked in companies ranging from HDFC Bank, Reliance, ICICI Bank, Airtel, Infosys and TCS to Zomato, Nykaa and DMart. The CEO of the largest single investor in the world also hosts the popular In Good Company podcast with global industry leaders. A former chef, Russian translator and intelligence man, Tangen told Arijit Barman in an interview in Davos that the world is in the grip of unprecedented volatility. Edited excerpts: Nearly a third of your assets are in Europe. With Europe slowing and generating poor returns, are you looking to diversify even more in the US, Asia, maybe India, a lot more than before? We are linked to indices. So when the value of a market increases, we typically park more money there. We now have more than 50% of our $1.7 trillion in the US. With India becoming more important, the value of our Indian investments has also gone up. We have roughly 1.8% of our fund now in India. With more than $30 billion invested in India-double of what we did five-eight years ago-both China and India exposure is not too dissimilar. Our portfolio is predominantly public markets but we have some fixed-income assets too. Our biggest holding in India is HDFC Bank, number 2 is Reliance.

HDB Financial Services, the non-bank arm of HDFC Bank, said its net profit fell 27% to ₹470 crore in the quarter ending December 2024 from ₹640 crore a year ago due to higher provisions and a rise in financing costs reflecting higher funding costs. Financing costs increased 31% year-on-year to ₹1,645 crore during the quarter. Provisions on bad loans increased to ₹636 crore from ₹283 crore a year ago as the bank sought cover for rising non-performing assets (NPAs).

UPS Analysis wellness trends Trade performer beautiful Subdued consumption to weigh on HUL despite rural pickup

Hindustan Unilever (HUL) posted a third consecutive quarter of disappointing performance this fiscal with 2% growth in revenues and flat volume growth. The net profit growth would have also been flat but for the profit from the divestment of the Pureit water-purifier business. The Ebitda margin dropped 20 bps to 23.5% under pressure from increased raw material costs. While urban demand continued to remain subdued, rural demand sustained its gradual recovery. Downtrading took place with small packs growing ahead of large packs. HUL's home care segment posted high single-digit volume growth, while the beauty and wellbeing segment posted a low-single-digit volume decline and the personal care and foods segments each posted a mid-single-digit volume decline.

markets security Analysis Research trends Trade show Rs 80,000 gold goes where it has never gone before

Gold prices crossed the ₹80,000/10 gm mark for the first time Wednesday, data from the top industry body showed, underscoring renewed safe-haven demand for the metal from investors riled by anticipated uncertainty in the securities markets in the immediate aftermath of a seemingly disruptive Donald Trump presidency. A dollar retreat globally has also helped prices head north. The metal closed at ₹80,194 per 10 gms for 24-carat in the physical market, data from the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) showed. A weakening dollar and bullion's enduring safe-haven allure with investors have helped prices harden, said IBJA and the bullion trade, although prospects of retail jewellery purchases through the remainder of the wedding season have become rather circumspect after the price increases.

Indian equities worth ₹36,082 crore across 19 sectors between January 1 and 15, according to NSDL data. Financial services continued to bear the brunt of unabated foreign selling, as these investors dumped shares worth ₹12,204 crore in the first 15 days of January after pumping over ₹3,000 crore into the sector in December. Overseas investors pulled out over ₹58,000 crore from the sector in 2024. «Financial services have significant weight in the index and are some of the most liquid counters, which explains why the foreign selloff is aggressive in the sector,» said Saurabh Patwa, portfolio manager and head of research at Quest Investment. «Banks have, however, relatively decent results and there could be a revival of foreign flows in the sector.»
