markets UPS IPO Target reports Updates Rentomojo aims to raise up to ₹1,200 cr via IPO, to file draft papers soon

₹1,000–1,200 crore, three people familiar with the matter said.The firm is targeting a valuation between ₹5,000–7,000 crore for a listing and has appointed IIFL, Motilal Oswal and Axis Capital as advisors to help with the issue, the people added.“The listing, which is expected to happen in FY27, is largely dominated by an offer for sale by existing investors with a smaller primary component to raise fresh capital for expansion plans,” one of the people cited above said on the condition of anonymity.If it goes as planned, Rentomojo will join the growing list of startups such as PhonePe, Flipkart, Zepto, boAt, Shiprocket, Infra.Market, OfBusiness and Shadowfax that are looking to tap the public markets this year.However, rising tensions in West Asia have dampened investor sentiment and impacted valuations, prompting several companies, including PhonePe, to defer their listing plans.“The markets are uncertain and it’s difficult to see where the valuations will land,” a second person said.Mails sent to Rentomojo, IIFL, Motilal and Axis did not elicit a response till the time of publishing.Founded in 2014 by Geetansh Bamania and Ajay Nain, Rentomojo began with the aim to serve a new generation of urban Indian professionals who move cities frequently for work.The startup's subscription model allows customers to rent household essentials without committing to ownership—an offering increasingly relevant for professionals, especially those working in IT and BPO jobs.As it moves closer to an IPO, the company is increasing its focus on operational efficiency, customer trust, and scalable growth—key priorities as it transitions from a startup to a listed entity.Last year, Mint reported that the startup was looking to raise a fresh

A straw poll might show there exists a field of technology in which we Indians actually find it hard to be optimistic: self-driving vehicles. Satellite-guided traffic is a tech vision that’s unlikely to survive contact with our urban streets, unless AI can evolve to outsmart, say, a ‘squid’ motorist (in biker parlance) and learn the art of a real-world dodge.But optimism or any lack thereof has no bearing on the need for tech solutions to upgrade how vehicles move. For one thing, the status quo is costly.

markets COST Citi social Updates International Why aren’t petrol prices rising in India despite global crude surge?

crude prices translates quickly into higher fuel costs. In the US, for instance, a gallon of regular petrol that averaged $2.94 in February now costs $3.58—a 20% increase—according to AAA Fuel Prices, a retail fuel price tracker from the American Automobile Association.In contrast, petrol in cities like Mumbai has held steady at around ₹103 per litre in recent weeks.At the core of this stability are state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) such as Indian Oil and Hindustan Petroleum.When international prices surge, these companies often absorb the increase instead of passing it on immediately to consumers.According to Madan Sabnavis, chief economist at Bank of Baroda, "In the interest of social stability and to shield the common citizen from sudden inflationary shocks, domestic oil marketing companies often maintain steady product prices even as global crude costs climb.

₹1 lakh segment.The pressure is most visible at its youth-focused brands CaratLane and Mia by Tanishq, where demand is showing signs of strain as gold becomes less affordable. Titan is expanding design-led silver offerings to retain entry-level buyers, rather than relying only on lower-carat gold or pricing tweaks.The shift underscores a broader pivot underway in India’s jewellery market: as gold prices climb, consumers—particularly younger buyers—are becoming more experimental, gravitating toward lighter, lower-ticket categories such as silver and silver-studded pieces.Gold is currently trading at around ₹1.5 lakh per 10 grams on the MCX, up sharply over the past year, while silver is hovering around ₹2.35 lakh per kg, indicating a widening affordability gap between the two metals.“We are seeing a structural shift in India’s jewellery consumption.

IPO security Research Trade show cover Updates Falling sales, revenue prompts Ola Electric to cut R&D funds to pay debt, again

After a board meeting on Wednesday, the Bengaluru-based company decided to reallocate ₹575 crore, out of ₹1,505 crore it raised for research and development (R&D) during the initial public offering (IPO), to pay debt and fund organic growth activities.The company’s disclosures showed that ₹475 crore will be used to fund upcoming debt, while ₹100 crore will be used for growth purposes. This is the second time since going public in August 2024 that the company has changed its use of funds, with the first change made in August 2025.The cut in funds to be used for R&D has come as the company has total debt obligations worth ₹526 crore for financial year 2026 and ₹610 crore for financial year 2027, excluding any other short-term debt.Subhabrata Sengupta, partner at Avalon Consulting, said that funds required for R&D can change, but such a reallocation isn’t a positive sign.“How much R&D spend is needed depends on the plan.

India Inc.’s earnings recovery will take longer than expected as higher energy prices amid the West Asia conflict could squeeze margins, according to the investment head of Standard Chartered Securities (India).“The consensus about a month back was building around 14-15% kind of (earnings) growth, which might come to low double-digits because of these changes in the input cost,” said Gaurav Dua, chief investment officer at the broking firm.For a year and a half, India Inc has been in an earnings downgrade cycle that was expected to bottom out, Dua said. But the rising energy prices could prolong the recovery, he said.
