Market Overview
Nifty ends below 24,500 level; PSU Bank shares tumble

The key equity benchmarks ended with major cuts on Tuesday. The Nifty ended below 24,500 level after hitting day's high of 24,882 in morning trade. All the sectoral indices in the NSE were traded in red. As per provisional closing data, the barometer index, the S&P BSE Sensex declined 930.55 points or 1.15% to 80,220.72. The Nifty 50 index declined 309 points or 1.25% to 24,472.10. In the broader market, the S&P BSE Mid-Cap index dropped 2.52% and the S&P BSE Small-Cap index tumbled 3.81%. The market breadth was weak. On the BSE, 560 shares rose and 3,425 shares fell. A total of 74 shares were unchanged. Economy: According to the RBI article, findings on monetary policy transmission in India suggest that monetary policy changes affect short term interest rates more than long-term rates. RBI in this article examines the impact of the monetary policy tightening that was undertaken since May 2022 in India. While anticipated policy changes do not have any instantaneous impact on long-term rates, policy 'surprises' significantly impact all market segments and across tenors. Policy signals tend to wane, however, beyond the three-year tenure, the paper noted. Policy 'surprises' are found to have a relatively lower but significant pass-through to the exchange rate and equity prices. In terms of the impact of the policy rate tightening on the real economy, a significant negative impact on inflation expectations is observed. The long-run elasticity of the policy rate with respect to inflation expectation reveals that an increase in policy rate anchors expectations effectively. As per the article, the macroeconomic impact of monetary policy on aggregate demand and inflation indicate that the 250 basis points increase since May 2022 has negatively contributed to aggregate demand and headline inflation by 160 bps each till Q2:2024-25, working through various channels of policy transmission.

Additionally, a series of major U.S. corporate earnings reports were expected to shape market sentiment.

OCL has also secured a concession from MPPGCL, Madhya Pradesh for setting up a grinding unit within the premises of Satpura Thermal Power Plant. Both these complement the Adani Group's existing cement footprint,' Ambuja Cements stated. The Adani Group company further said that it plans to optimize OCL's overall capacity utilization to enhance its cost and competitiveness and improve its operating performance while leveraging the synergies inherent in the existing cement business. Karan Adani, director of Ambuja Cements, said: 'This timed acquisition marks another significant step forward in Ambuja Cements' accelerated growth journey, increasing cement capacity by ~30 MTPA within two years of Ambuja's acquisition. By acquiring OCL, Ambuja is poised to reach 100 MTPA cement capacity in FY25. The acquisition will help to expand Adani Cement's presence in core markets and improve its pan-India market share by 2%. OCL's assets are highly efficient, equipped with railway sidings and well supported by captive power plants, renewable energy, WHRS and AFR facilities. OCL's strategic locations, high-quality limestone reserves and requisite statutory approvals present an opportunity to increase cement capacity in the near term to 16.6 MTPA. Ambuja Cements is a major cement producing company in India. The principal activity of the company is to manufacture and market cement and clinker for both domestic and export markets. The cement major's consolidated net profit fell 28.63% to Rs 646.31 crore in Q1 FY25 as against Rs 905.61 crore recorded in Q1 FY24. Revenue from operations declined 4.61% YoY to Rs 8,311.48 crore in the quarter ended 30 June 2024. Powered by Capital Market - Live

Ambuja will acquire 46.8% shares of OCL from its current promoters and certain public shareholders. The acquisition will be fully funded through internal accruals. OCL has 5.6 MTPA clinker capacity and 8.5 MTPA cement capacity along with statutory clearance to increase the clinker capacity by another 6.0 MTPA and cement capacity by another 8.1 MTPA. In addition, OCL also has a limestone mining lease in Chittorgarh for setting up an Integrated Unit (IU) with clinker of 4 MTPA and a split Grinding Unit (GU) of 6 MTPA in North India. OCL has also secured a concession from MPPGCL, Madhya Pradesh for setting up a Grinding Unit within the premises of Satpura Thermal Power Plant. Both these complement the Adani Group's existing cement footprint. OCL has recently commissioned a WHRS in Chittapur IU and is in the final stage of commissioning 16 MW solar in Chittapur and 3.7 MW solar in Jalgaon. OCL's efficient plants, highly motivated teams, strong balance sheet and well-distributed dealer network will be excellent additions to the Adani Group's existing cement business. OCL's existing dealers will move to Adani Cement's market network, creating formidable synergies. Ambuja plans to optimize OCL's overall capacity utilization to enhance its cost and competitiveness and improve its operating performance while leveraging the synergies inherent in the existing cement business.Powered by Capital Market - Live
