Global Health closes in the green on proposal to establish 400-bed hospital in Varanasi

Global Health closes in the green on proposal to establish 400-bed hospital in Varanasi

by | Mar 25, 2026 | Share Market


Global Health gained 3.83% to end at Rs 1011.40 after the company announced its plan to set up a 400-bed multi-specialty hospital in the heart of Varanasi.

The board of directors of the company, at the meeting held today, approved the execution of definitive agreements to enter into a built-to-suit and lease arrangement, with Shripal Hospitality and others, to establish a super speciality hospital in Varanasi.

Under this arrangement, the civil infrastructure of the hospital will be developed by the partner in line with Medantas specifications, while Medanta will undertake investments towards interior services, fit outs and medical equipment.

The total investment by Medanta is estimated at approximately Rs. 550 crore.

 

The proposed hospital will be developed on a strategically located freehold land parcel in central Varanasi and is expected to cater to a population base of over 4 million in the city and adjoining regions.

The hospital will deliver advanced clinical care through a combination of world-class medical expertise, cutting-edge technology, and a comprehensive multi-specialty offering.

This expansion marks a continued commitment by Medanta to deepen its presence in Uttar Pradesh, following the successful establishment of its 950-bed flagship hospital in Lucknow and recently inaugurated 550-bed hospital in Noida.

Global Health is one of the largest private multi-specialty tertiary care providers operating in the North and East regions of India.

On a consolidated basis, Global Health’s net profit declined 33.51% to Rs 95.02 crore while net sales rose 18.83% to Rs 1121.05 crore in Q3 December 2025 over Q3 December 2024.

Recently, a domestic brokerage maintained a ‘buy rating on the stock and set a target price of Rs 1,382.

The brokerage cited improving earnings visibility, margin expansion tailwinds and a more reasonable valuation backdrop as key drivers for its positive stance. The research house expects the company’s revenue, EBITDA and profit after tax to grow at a CAGR of 14%, 26% and 32%, respectively, over FY26 to FY28.

Sebi proposes IT resilience index for market infrastructure institutions

Sebi proposes IT resilience index for market infrastructure institutions

by | Mar 25, 2026 | Share Market


Sebi said the move seeks to create a uniform set of metrics and weightages that would allow comparisons across institutions while improving internal governance and risk monitoring.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Wednesday proposed a framework to introduce an IT Resilience Index (ITRI) for market infrastructure institutions (MIIs), including stock exchanges, clearing corporations, and depositories, aimed at strengthening oversight of critical technology systems.

 


In a consultation paper released on March 25, the regulator said the proposed index would provide a standardised, system-driven measure of the health and robustness of IT systems, enabling MIIs to track performance over time and identify gaps.

 


Sebi said the move seeks to create a uniform set of metrics and weightages that would allow comparisons across institutions while improving internal governance and risk monitoring.

 
 


“The IT systems of MIIs are the cornerstone of their smooth and uninterrupted functioning,” Sebi noted, adding that an index-based approach would give management and oversight committees actionable insights into system resilience.

 

As per the draft framework, the ITRI will be computed using multiple parameters, such as availability, security, integrity, governance, and business continuity. 


MFs’ intraday borrowing norms deferred to July 15 


The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has deferred the implementation of guidelines on intraday borrowings by mutual funds to July 15, 2026, following operational concerns flagged by the industry. In a circular issued on Wednesday, the regulator said the revised timeline applies specifically to provisions related to intraday borrowings that were introduced earlier this month as part of a broader framework governing borrowing by mutual funds.

Rupee closes near record low, RBI intervention blunts outflow pressure

Rupee closes near record low, RBI intervention blunts outflow pressure

by | Mar 25, 2026 | Share Market



The Indian rupee weakened slightly on Wednesday but held off pressure from dollar demand linked to ​maturing non-deliverable forwards and foreign portfolio outflows, as ​the central bank intervened to support the currency.


The rupee hovered near ‌its record low of 93.98 per dollar through the session before closing at 93.9775, down 0.1%.


Indian stocks rose after Brent crude fell below $100 a barrel, but the rupee struggled to benefit as interbank traders and importers bought dollars.


A series of NDF maturities, including Wednesday’s, is expected to keep the rupee under pressure over the next week, a trader at a private bank said.

 


Indian stocks rose with the Nifty 50 up about 2% as investors took cues from ‌reports that the US had proposed a month-long ceasefire and sent a 15-point plan to Iran.


Equities in Asia and Europe were higher as well while futures pointed to a strong start for stocks on Wall Street, signalling an improvement in risk appetite which had been otherwise battered by worries over the conflict.


Among currencies, the dollar index was a ​tad higher at 99.3 while Asian FX was mostly rangebound.


Mixed signals from Washington and Tehran ‌though have also injected caution in traders’ minds.


Israel and Iran exchanged airstrikes on Wednesday, as Iran’s military rejected President Donald Trump’s ​assertion ‌the US was in negotiations to end the war, saying the US is ‌negotiating with itself.


“We are not geopolitical experts, but we would have thought Iran would have maximum leverage of high energy prices going ‌into ​any negotiation. Thus, ​it is probably too early to expect any big drop in energy prices or a much softer dollar this week,” analysts ‌at ING said ​in a note.
