Enforcement Directorate Thursday said it has found «multiple irregularities» in the operations of TASMAC that has monopoly over liquor trade in Tamil Nadu, including «manipulation» in the tender processes and «unaccounted» cash transactions worth Rs 1,000 crore through distillery companies. The federal agency claimed in a statement that it got «evidence» suggesting these corrupt practices after it raided the employees, corporate offices of distilleries and plants of the Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation Limited (TASMAC) on March 6. ED sources, on the day of the raids, had said the searches were also conducted against «key associates» linked to prohibition and excise department minister Senthil Balaji. The ED said it found «incriminating» data related to transfer postings, transport and bar licence tenders, indent orders «favouring» few distillery companies, excess charge of Rs 10-30 per bottle by TASMAC outlets, with the «involvement» of TASMAC officials, during the searches. It said this data shows «manipulation» in TASMAC's transport tender allocations where a «glaring» issue was the «mismatch» between the KYC details of the applicant and the demand draft (DD), suggesting that the final successful bidder did not even obtain the requisite DD before the application deadline. Tenders were awarded despite having only a single applicant in the final bid. TASMAC paid over Rs 100 crore annually to transporters, as per the ED.

Navratna companies, have seen significant improvement in board meeting attendance by directors over the past four years, according to a survey by Excellence Enablers. The survey, which covered 13 Maharatna and 20 Navratna companies, found that in FY24, no director had zero attendance at board meetings. In contrast, in FY23, 14 directors had zero attendance. In FY22, there were 9 such directors, and 3 directors were absent from all board meetings in FY21. The Excellence Enablers' fourth edition of the survey emphasised that it is a reasonable expectation for all directors, both executive and non-executive, to attend every board meeting. Absences should only occur for extraordinary reasons that could not have been anticipated. While the legal requirement mandates that each director attend at least one board meeting per year, the survey finds this standard is clearly unsatisfactory. It suggests that directors who miss meetings for legitimate reasons should still be able to submit their comments on agenda items in advance so that they can be taken note of during discussions. Further, the survey by a Corporate Governance advisory firm said, «the question of discontinuing the appointment of Directors who have had zero attendance in the previous FY should be seriously considered». The survey, which analyses corporate governance data of Maharatna and Navratna companies from publicly available sources, also looked into other aspects of board governance, including board size, the presence of independent directors (IDs), and gender representation on boards.

Seo Hye-jin under Crea Studio. Despite Seo Hye-jin’s history of producing hit shows, Under 15 is generating buzz for all the wrong reasons. The show is actively scouting children between the ages of 3 and 15 from more than 70 countries, sparking widespread concern. Reports indicate that the producer’s goal is to form a group with an average debut age even lower than NewJeans’ 16.4 years, raising ethical questions about the industry's growing push toward increasingly younger idols.

All the revisions from the analysts and everything for Q1, Q2, the earning revisions are the projections that are being downgraded. It is not that the actual earnings are low, but the projections are. What is shaping up in the global markets and especially the US because there are recessionary fears. But other than that, it is the CPI data that is cooling off. Give us your reading and sense on where the US market is headed, taking cues from all of the macro data.

If there was one worry whether inflation will cool down or prove to be sticky, it is now reasonably sure that inflation is not a worry. The worry is moving more towards the recession side, but certainly not on the inflation side. So, on that front, the news is good but there is a whole set of worries that the market is now thinking about.
