Jio: जियो आज भारत की सबसे बड़ी टेलीकॉम और डिजिटल कंपनियों में से एक है, लेकिन बहुत कम लोग जानते हैं कि इसकी कमान असल में किसके हाथ में है. बता दें कि समय के साथ मुकेश अंबानी ने भी धीरे-धीरे कंपनी की जिम्मेदारी अपनी अगली पीढ़ी को सौंपनी शुरू कर दी है. अब चूंकि जियो का IPO आने वाला है तो ये सवाल भी आ रहा है कि आखिर कंपनी की बागडोर कौन संभाल रहा है.
किसके पास है जियो की कमान?
मुकेश अंबानी के तीन बच्चे हैं और उनके बड़े बेटे आकाश अंबानी फिलहाल रिलायंस जियो इन्फोकॉम के चेयरमैन हैं. वही अभी कंपनी के रोज के कामकाज, प्लानिंग और ग्रोथ स्ट्रैटजी को देख रहे हैं, यानी जियो के ऑपरेशनल फैसलों में उनकी काफी अहम भूमिक है. आकाश अंबानी लगातार कंपनी के डिजिटल, टेलीकॉम नेटवर्क और नए बिजनेस आइडियाज पर काम कर रहे हैं.
मुकेश अंबानी अब भी पूरी रिलायंस इंडस्ट्रीज ग्रुप की ओवरऑल बिजनेस प्लानिंग और बड़े फैसलों की जिम्मेदारी संभालते हैं. लेकिन धीरे-धीरे वो अपने बच्चों को अलग-अलग बिजनेस यूनिट्स की जिम्मेदारियां भी सौंप रहे हैं, ताकि कंपनी का आगे चलकर मजबूत तरीके से आगे बढ़ सके.
IPO के बाद क्या बदल सकता है?
जियो का IPO आने के बाद कंपनी में काफी बड़ा बदलाव देखने को मिल सकता है. जब कंपनी शेयर बाजार में लिस्ट होगी तो उसकी वैल्यू और बढ़ेंगी. ऐसी उम्मीद की जा रही है कि IPO के बाद आकाश अंबानी का रोल और भी मजबूत हो जाएगा, क्योंकि उन्हें एक पब्लिक लिस्टेड कंपनी की जिम्मेदारी संभालनी होगी. इसके साथ ही उनकी पर्सनल वेल्थ भी बढ़ सकता है.
Benchmark equity indices ended lower on Friday, snapping a five-session winning streak, as a sharp sell-off in information technology stocks weighed on investor sentiment. The decline followed Accenture’s cut in full-year revenue growth guidance and a weaker-than-expected outlook, which raised concerns over global technology spending. Investors also turned cautious amid delays in the next round of US-Iran negotiations, tempering optimism around the recently announced ceasefire and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
The BSE Sensex declined 607.08 points, or 0.78 per cent, to settle at 76,802.90, while the NSE Nifty 50 fell 154.90 points, or 0.64 per cent, to close at 24,013.10. Despite Friday’s losses, both benchmark indices advanced around 1.6 per cent during the week.
Dr VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments, said the correction in IT stocks was triggered by Accenture’s guidance cut and the resulting weakness in Indian IT ADRs. However, he believes valuations in the sector are becoming attractive and could draw buying interest at lower levels. He added that improving domestic macroeconomic conditions, lower crude oil prices, moderating foreign institutional investor selling and strong domestic institutional flows continue to support the broader market.
IT stocks top loser this week
Technology stocks remained under pressure throughout the session, dragging the benchmarks lower. The Nifty IT index settled nearly 4 per cent lower at 27,426.85 after touching a fresh 52-week low of 26,634.50 during intraday trade. The index ended the week down more than 1 per cent.
Infosys, TCS, Tech Mahindra and HCLTech emerged as the top losers on the Nifty 50 in today’s session. In contrast, Eternal, Bharti Airtel, Power Grid and Nestle India were among the leading gainers.
Trent and Eternal were top gainers during the week, while Infosys and TCS dragged the most.
Vikram Kasat, Head Advisory at PL Capital said that while the market corrected on Friday, factors such as easing crude prices, healthy domestic liquidity and a positive corporate earnings outlook remain supportive. He said investors will continue to monitor foreign fund flows, monsoon progress, crude oil prices and key corporate developments, including announcements from Reliance Industries’ AGM.
Broader markets continue to outperform
Broader markets once again outperformed the benchmarks. The Nifty Midcap 100 gained about 3 per cent during the week, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 rose 3.2 per cent.
Banking stocks also strengthened, with the Bank Nifty advancing 1.5 per cent during the week.
The defence index emerged as the top-performing sector, surging 6.5 per cent this week.
Geopolitical uncertainty remains in focus
Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, noted that the postponement of scheduled US-Iran negotiations dented hopes of a smooth progression towards a broader peace agreement, prompting investors to adopt a cautious stance.
He added that crude oil prices stabilised in the $75-76 per barrel range as investors reassessed the outlook for West Asia amid delays in diplomatic talks and uncertainty over the pace of normalisation in oil supplies. Precious metals also remained under pressure as a stronger US dollar and reduced expectations of near-term monetary easing weighed on prices.
Investors will closely track whether the weakness in IT stocks spills over into other sectors, along with developments related to the IPOs of Jio and NSE, and foreign investment flows.
Wall Street ended higher overnight, although US markets remained closed on Friday for the Juneteenth holiday. Major Asian markets, including Hong Kong, China and Taiwan, were also shut.
South Korea’s Kospi ended marginally lower, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 index settled higher. European markets were trading mostly higher.
Midcap & smallcap movers today
Among midcaps, Bharat Dynamics, LG Electronics India, Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers and Tata Communications gained 4-5 per cent. Mphasis, Info Edge, Hindustan Petroleum and Blue Star fell 2-3 per cent.
In the smallcap segment, Piramal Finance, Poonawalla Fincorp, PWL and Jyoti CNC climbed 5-7 per cent, while Kaynes Technology, Zensar Technologies, MRPL and Bandhan Bank declined 2-3 per cent.
On the BSE, Garware Technical Fibres and The New India Assurance Company were among the top gainers, surging 14 per cent each. On the downside, Infosys, Bata India and Sonata Software declined 4-7 per cent.
Market breadth remained positive, with 2,224 stocks advancing and 2,002 declining out of the 4,415 stocks traded on the BSE. Another 189 stocks ended unchanged. A total of 169 stocks touched fresh 52-week highs, while 66 stocks hit 52-week lows. Additionally, 10 stocks were locked in the upper circuit and 10 in the lower circuit.

Delays to green steel
projects are growing and government support is far short of what
is needed, jeopardising the industry’s drive to cut emissions,
steel associations warned at an annual meeting in Singapore this
week.
About half of the world’s planned green steel projects have already been delayed, while governments have committed just $20 billion of the $1.5 trillion needed to decarbonise the sector, according to the World Steel Association.
Industry executives said progress on cutting emissions has
been slow and is likely to remain so without a major increase in
state funding or customers willing to pay more for cleaner
steel.
The gloomy assessment stands in contrast to renewed investor
interest in renewable energy and clean technology following the
Iran war, which has driven up oil and gas prices.
CUSTOMERS WON’T PAY A PREMIUM
Green steel – generally steel produced with a lower carbon
footprint – is critical because the industry accounts for about
7% to 9% of global emissions.
Yet the current global project pipeline would deliver only
about 70 million metric tons of green steel a year by the end of
the decade, a fraction of the roughly 2 billion tons of total
steel production forecast, said Shaoliang Zhong, deputy
secretary general of the World Steel Association.
Roughly half of that already modest pipeline has been
delayed by financing constraints, weak demand or shortages of
green hydrogen, which some producers hope could replace
metallurgical coal in blast furnaces, Zhong told Reuters on
Friday.
“Over the past 10 years, steel emission intensity remained
almost flat despite commitment among steelmakers to reduce
carbon emissions,” Zhong said, referring to emissions per ton of
steel produced.
Traders and steelmakers told Reuters during the conference
that many customers remain unwilling to pay a premium for
cleaner steel.
Meanwhile, investment in conventional blast furnaces continues across India and Southeast Asia. Many of those facilities have lifespans of up to 40 years, locking in emissions for decades.
New blast furnace capacity planned in the two regions
between 2024 and this year roughly matches the size of the
entire global green steel pipeline outlined by Zhong, according
to OECD forecasts.
“Producing green steel is good, but you need to survive
first,” Yeoh Choon Kwee, deputy president at Malaysia Iron &
Steel Industry Federation told delegates.
“The focus on green steel has always been on the supply
side, but the demand reform is equally important,” he said. “The
government should also play a key role, they need to mandate the
use of green steel in key infrastructure.”
Aegis Logistics has gone through three strategic pivots across six decades, executed with patient capital and without a single major safety incident across millions of tonnes of hazardous material handling. The company’s infrastructure expertise, port locations and Vopak partnership create a credible pathway to serve the next generation of energy molecules alongside its existing
It took over 40 years for Aegis to build a terminal network spanning Mumbai, Mangaluru, Kandla, Pipavav, JNPA, Kochi and Haldia. It operates 22 terminals across seven major ports, commanding about 61 per cent private LPG import share and over 30 per cent bulk liquid market share.
We see four converging tailwinds: India’s coal-to-clean-fuel transition, non-linear earnings inflection from new capacity and multi-modal pipeline evacuation, sustained volume growth in LPG distribution by rural and industrial consumption and Project GATI’s ₹40,000-crore capex adding upto five ports and unlocking ammonia and Natural gas optionality.
Aegis is entering peak operating leverage, with distribution volumes growing 45 per cent year on year and EBITDA/mt structurally re-rating from ₹4,000-5,000 to ₹7,000.
We value Aegis at 30x FY28E EPS of ₹45.6, arriving at a TP of ₹1,369, and initiate with BUY. We estimate a revenue CAGR of 25 per cent to achieve a turnover of ₹12,918 crore and EBITDA/PATAMI (PAT after Minority Interest) of ₹2,684 crore/₹1,601 crore by FY28.
Gravita India is one of the largest lead producers in India. It has strengthened its long-term growth strategy through the acquisition of a 99.44 per cent stake in Rashtriya Metal Industries, marking its entry into the copper and copper alloys value chain. The transaction broadens the company’s product portfolio and provides access to specialised end-markets such as electrical equipment, power infrastructure and defence applications. It also plans to establish a backward-integrated copper recycling facility at Mandvi, Gujarat, which is expected to improve profitability and support the management’s targeted return profile of over 20 per cent ROCE for the copper business. The management has increased its cumulative FY29 capex guidance to ₹1,700 crore from ₹1,200 crore earlier, with nearly ₹700 crore earmarked for the copper segment.
We expect Gravita to sustain a healthy volume growth trajectory, with the management targeting a 20-25 per cent CAGR over the next three years. The management has reiterated its medium-term objective of achieving approximately 25 per cent CAGR in volumes and 35 per cent CAGR in earnings. Any potential diversification into adjacent areas such as paper or steel recycling will remain contingent upon favourable demand dynamics and attractive return expectations.
We recommend a BUY on the stock with a target price of ₹1,900/share.
ensex Today, Nifty 50 | Stock Market Highlights – Find here all the live updates related to Sensex, Nifty, BSE, NSE, share prices and Indian stock markets for 19th June 2026.
Indian equity markets trade lower on Friday, ending a five-session winning streak amid weakening global risk sentiment. This pullback comes after strong gains of 4.3% in the Nifty 50 and 4.8% in the Sensex, driven by easing oil prices following an interim Iran–US peace deal.
At 3:30 pm Sensex settled 607.08 pts or 0.78% lower at 76,802.90; and Nifty 50 dragged 154.90 pts or 0.64% to 24,013.10.
The rupee climbed to 94.21 early in the session as long dollar positions were unwound, but surrendered gains later as the dollar strengthened and index-rebalancing outflows hit the currency. It ended little changed at 94.32 per dollar.
However, Brent crude rebounded toward $80 a barrel amid renewed geopolitical concerns after comments from US Vice President JD Vance raised doubts over the durability of the ceasefire involving Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Amid these developments, global cues were mixed, with Asian markets up 0.5% and Wall Street closing higher. Foreign investors sold Indian equities worth ₹1,025 crore on Thursday, while domestic institutions remained net buyers.
Key technical indicators for today’s trade
* Nifty 50 opened gap-down at 23,991 vs previous close of 24,168 and weakened further to 23,950, down 0.9%.
* Advance/decline ratio at 14/36 signals broad-based bearish bias across the index.
* IT sector remains the key drag: Nifty IT down 5.9%, with Infosys (-8.5%), TCS (-6.1%) and Tech Mahindra (-5.6%) leading losses.
* Sectoral divergence: Nifty Pharma and Nifty Media marginally positive (~0.3%), offering limited support.
* Overall market tone remains weak due to heavy IT selling pressure.
* Short-term structure shows downside bias but with defined support zones.
* Futures opened gap-down at 24,020 vs 24,193 and hover near 24,000 (-0.8%).
* Key support zone: 24,000 (50-DMA confluence) and 23,900.
* Resistance levels: 24,210 and 24,300.
* Expected range: 23,900–24,210
* Break below 23,900 may accelerate selling toward 23,800–23,700.
* Recovery possible only if 24,000–23,900 holds firmly.
* Bias remains cautious with sideways-to-negative undertone.
* Fresh aggressive longs not preferred unless support holds decisively.

Zerodha Fund House today announced the launch of its Life Cycle Fund series
With this it becomes the first asset management company in India to offer target-date maturity funds. Each Life Cycle fund is structured around a specific maturity year, called the target year and invests across a mix of asset classes including equity, debt and commodities like gold and silver. The portfolio follows a pre-defined asset allocation that shifts systematically from a growth-oriented (higher risk) allocation in the early years to a more conservative allocation (lower risk) as the target year approaches. This means an investor in a Life Cycle fund today holds a meaningfully different portfolio from what they will hold after 10 years. The shift happens automatically, based on a pre-defined asset allocation path, without requiring any action from the investor. The Zerodha Life Cycle fund series follows the philosophy of simple, rule-based investing. The series comprises two maturity variants – the Zerodha Life Cycle Fund 2036, which matures in 10 years and the Zerodha Life Cycle Fund 2041 which matures in 15 years. Over time, additional schemes with different/varying maturity years will also be introduced, ensuring investors at every life stage have a fund built around their timeline. On the equity side, the fund aims to track the Nifty LargeMidcap 250 index. For the debt exposure, it invests in Indian government securities (G-secs) across different durations. It also takes some commodities and arbitrage exposure. Globally, target-date funds have assets of over $4 trillion and serve as the default retirement investment vehicle for millions of investors. This same concept is now available in India in a simple, transparent, goalbased structure designed as Life Cycle funds.

Precious Metals under pressure as hawkish FED signal outweighs US-Iran deal relief: Renisha Chainani, head of research at Augmont
•Price Movement – Gold slipped below $4200, erasing the week’s earlier gains, while Silver fell toward $65 and is on track to shed roughly 4% for the week. The trigger was a hawkish pivot from the US Federal Reserve, which overshadowed the constructive signal from the US-Iran peace agreement. That deal had pushed oil prices lower and softened inflation expectations — factors that would ordinarily support metals — but rate concerns proved the stronger force
•Currency Market Update – The Indian rupee climbed to 94.2 per dollar, touching a six-week high on the back of improving capital inflows and firmer investor sentiment. The move was partly technical — traders unwound residual long-dollar positions that had built up over previous sessions.
•Domestic Imports – India’s gold imports have dropped sharply, falling to an estimated 25–30 metric tonnes per month from a prior run-rate of 75–100 metric tonnes — a decline directly linked to the hike in import duty. Adding to the structural shift, customs authorities have not yet notified banks as designated importers of gold effective April 1, 2026, leaving a procedural gap that continues to weigh on formal import channels.
Technical Triggers
•With Gold having broken below $4,200, the next key support zone sits at $4,050–$4,100, equivalent to approximately ₹1,43,000–₹1,44,000
•Silver’s breach of the $65 support level shifts focus to the $60–$61 range, or roughly ₹2,23,000–₹2,25,000 on domestic markets.
