Solar-pump EPC is GK Energy's core business, so the empanelment is a direct addition to order visibility. Three suppliers won MSEDCL solar-pump empanelments the same weekend, pointing to a sizeable state tender cycle.

It called this one of its strongest quarters in recent memory, led by an excellent Fashion vertical alongside steady Beauty growth in the late twenties. These are provisional figures ahead of audited results.

A better product mix aided realisation, the TruHealth wellness and specialty test segments were the fastest-growing, and EBITDA margins improved year on year in line with guidance.

Volumes at that scale for one brand in a single quarter point to continued strength in the premium-and-above mix, the part of the portfolio that carries the better margins.

The venture raised about $218 million in seed funding led by General Catalyst, with PB Fintech separately looking to commit around Rs 860 crore. It marks a shift from an asset-light marketplace into capital-heavy hospital ownership.

The Rs 7,600 crore facility does chip assembly and test packaging at up to 300 million units a year. It is India's third semiconductor unit to reach commercial output, and first revenue from the venture now flows into CG Power's books.

Adding a gigawatt of operational solar moves generation from the under-construction pipeline into the live book. It lifts the renewable share of the Navratna power CPSE's generation mix.

The money funds the first phase of a 20 GWh Battery Energy Storage System plant. For an integrated steel and pellet producer, captive battery storage is a genuine new vertical to watch.

The project adds roughly 12 lakh square feet of manufacturing space. At optimum utilisation it is expected to add Rs 900 to Rs 1,000 crore of annual revenue with a payback of around five years.

Solar agri pumps are the company's core business, and this is its latest in a run of MSEDCL empanelments under the same state scheme. The empanelment covers supply, installation and commissioning.

Solar pumps are core to Oswal's business, and a fresh empanelment of this size adds visible revenue over the supply-and-installation window. It lands alongside similar MSEDCL wins for peers.

It is a large, annuity-style engagement that adds strong visibility to the IT major's order book. The scale places it among HCLTech's bigger recent wins.

The merger simplifies the group structure. Separately, it began work on its EAF-based Rayalaseema steel project in Andhra Pradesh, marking a fresh capacity investment for the steelmaker.

The project will generate about 299 million units of clean electricity a year. It marks the start of commercial operations and adds to Tata Power's growing renewable capacity.

The India FMCG business is seen posting near double-digit growth, while the international business grows in the high teens in rupee terms. It backs the double-digit ambition management set at the March quarter and points to the consumption recovery FMCG has been waiting for.

The order is large relative to the company's size and extends its water-infrastructure order book.

The step-down acquisition follows the plan flagged in Emcure's IPO prospectus. It extends the company's international generics footprint.

The two wins strengthen the smallcap's grid-equipment order book and its export franchise.

Telecom, FMCG and insurance saw hiring growth in the 6 to 16 percent range. The recruitment-demand read-through is positive for the Naukri business, Info Edge's cash cow.

The allocation gives the distillery visibility on its grain-based alcohol offtake for the year. It adds to the company's spirits and speciality chemicals mix.
