BJP on Thursday slammed the opposition INDIA bloc as a «selfish alliance» aimed at promoting and protecting the interests of families at the helm of its member parties. With 28 opposition parties meeting in Mumbai to give concrete shape to their agenda against the BJP, the ruling party's spokesperson Sambit Patra said the Congress' «missile» will never launch as it has no fuel. The BJP's Chandrayaan will successfully land for a third time in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls as it is fuelled by development, he told reporters, drawing an analogy with the country's historic lunar exploration mission. «The CMP (common minimum programme) being discussed in the INDIA alliance is, in fact, all about having „corruption's maximum profit“ as all these parties together represent scams worth over Rs 20 lakh crore,» he alleged. Their other aim is to deliver a blow to the stable and pro-development dispensation running under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, he added. Patra said the opposition's attempt to come together is a game of musical chairs and that these parties engage before every election against the BJP even though their own alliance is marked by mutual fight and one-upmanship over who will be the prime ministerial face. This «ghamandia alliance» is a selfish grouping, he said, alleging that leaders like Sonia Gandhi and Lalu Prasad Yadav are more likely to be driven by the future of their children in politics than the country's development. Their goal is «maximum parivarvaad», he claimed.

Also, the stock has got significant margins, EBITDA margins are one of the best in the world.”Should markets dismiss this new set of allegations against the Adani Group?See, it is actually one A and one B of the same news.

Garena on Thursday announced the relaunch of Free Fire India, an Indian version of its popular battle royale game Free Fire, over a year and a half after it was blocked. The Sea Ltd-owned game has been relaunched just a few months after the most popular game in the Indian esports ecosystem, Krafton’s Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), returned from a government block on a three-month trial basis late in May. BGMI had roughly 100 million registered users in the country pre-block. Free Fire, a battle royale game where multiple players fight each other in a set location to “survive”, was one of the most popular online games in India before it was blocked, according to executives in the gaming industry. Garena is employing servers run by Yotta, a unit of the Hiranandani group, to provide cloud hosting and data storage services, the firm said in a statement.

optical fibre in the country has increased six-fold since the launch of 5G services last October to 101, 550 kilometers a month from the average 16, 712 kms in the lead up to the roll out of services based on the next gen technology. Despite this, fibre penetration to telecom towers, which is critical for effective 5G services, in India is 38.44%, significantly lagging the 70% tower fiberisation target set by the government and lower than developed markets where 5G has been launched, experts said. “The 5G rollout has had a significant impact on the pace of digital and telecom infrastructure development in India,” TR Dua, director general, Digital Infrastructure Providers Association of India (DIPA) told ET. The total length of optical fibre laid out as on June 30, 2023 was 3,726,577 kms, as compared to 2,812,627 kms as on September 2022 end, according to data provided by DIPA. While tower fiberisation has picked up pace since the rollout of 5G, industry executives are in consensus that fibre penetration needs to ramp up significantly to be able to reap the full benefits of 5G services. Tower fiberisation is critical to 5G services as it helps provide full utilisation of network capacity and carry large amounts of data once 5G services are rolled out. “With growing data demand and emerging technologies like Industry 4.0, constant network expansion and robust 5G connectivity will be crucial, presenting a significant opportunity for (companies like) Indus Towers,” Prachur Shah, managing director and chief executive, Indus Towers, India’s largest tower company, said. Before 5G rollout, fibre penetration was at around 35% and has now moved to around 38.44% according to data provided by DIPA.

Chakri Lokapriya, CIO & MD, TCG AMC, says “just like Bhel is going through a new lease of life, so is PFC and REC. I remember participating as an anchor investor in IPOs of these companies and they were priced at one-and-a-half times book then. Today, they trade at less than 0.7 times book, half the valuation. Now, with the growth rates exceeding what it did in the past, it is just a matter of time before the stock even trades closer to its book value and higher, which means there is still a lot more upside from current levels.”We were looking at the streak of order wins from a company like Bhel and that has been pretty phenomenal since the start of the year. Just recently, they bagged a fairly sizable order in their kitty. What would be your outlook given that for the longest period of time, this was one of the slowest moving stocks? What is your view on Bhel? Bhel has got a new lease of life with a renewed interest in power and India has always been a power-deficient country, but now it is a combination of both thermal and green energy.
