Indian Rupee Rupee-denominated bond sales are set to grind to a halt in a few days as India’s government upgrades an online portal used by companies to file regulatory documents. Starting Jan. 7, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs portal will be unavailable for companies to file a so-called PAS-3 form, or “return-of-allotment” form, as the administration migrates to a new version of its e-filing platform. The service will be unavailable until Jan. 22, according to a statement on the ministry’s website. The move could delay new sales because issuers can’t use funds raised through the sale of any bonds until they file the return-of-allotment form, which lists all security holders. “PAS-3 form is filed to the Registrar of Companies using the MCA portal, and only after filing this form can the bond proceeds be used,” said Jayen Shah, founder of Mavuca Capital Advisors Pvt., a fintech investment banking firm. “Given e-filings can’t be done, it will hurt issuance during this … [Read more...] about Rupee bond sales set to halt as India upgrades platform

Honasa Consumer, parent of Mamaearth, is looking to raise Rs 400 crore through a fresh issue of shares, apart from an offer for sale of around 4.7 crore shares. “Valuation discovery is a process which will take place over time as we get into deeper conversations with investor community”. That was Mamaearth co-founder Ghazal Alagh’s response after the company faced #FinTwit’s ire for demanding a ‘sky-high, disastrous’ valuation for its public offering. Keeping Alagh’s comment aside, it is certain that Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty will be laughing all the way to the bank as her Rs 6.8 crore investment in the company will grow multi-fold. The question is by how much? Let’s assume that Mamaearth lists at Nykaa’s current market capitalisation-to-sales (or price-to-sales) valuation, given both are direct-to-consumer (D2C) companies in the beauty and personal care (BPC) space. Nykaa trades at 7.4 times P/S based on FY23 annualised sales. Honasa Consumer, parent of Mamaearth, … [Read more...] about Shilpa Shetty could make a killing from Mamaearth IPO. Here’s how

The “watch duty time limitations and rest requirements” set forth by the DGCA on January 11 for controllers state that an air traffic controller's shift cannot last longer than 12 hours (Representative Image) The Directorate General of Civil Aviation ( DGCA ) rejected the Airports Authority of India ( AAI ) proposal to provide relaxation for airports with fewer flights in order to enable it to overcome a manpower shortage and instead issued new rules for the duty hours of air traffic controllers, as per a report in The Hindu . Although a version of these rules was initially announced in November 2020, the AAI found it challenging to comply with them because it required more staff to offer the required rest period. Since then, it has requested exemptions five times and suggested various duty hours for four distinct types of airports based on the volume of air traffic they handle: large airports, or those with more than 400 flights per day, as well as airports with up to … [Read more...] about DGCA sets new rules for duty timings of air traffic control employees

Santosh Iyer, the newly-appointed MD and CEO of Mercedes-Benz India, sparked a debate in November when he said that systematic investment plans (SIPs) are the luxury car brand’s biggest competitor in the country. He has now clarified that his remarks were made in the context of luxury market growth. “The statement made was in the context of the luxury market growth, what will happen in three to five years’ time,” Iyer told Moneycontrol in an interview . In November, Iyer, who was then the sales and marketing head of Mercedes-Benz India, had told Times of India that SIPs in mutual funds were eating into luxury car sales in India. If a potential customer diverted Rs 50,000 into buying a luxury car instead of investing through SIPs, the luxury car business would “explode,” Iyer had said. “The context of the discussion is that there are a couple of factors to change,” he clarified in a January interview with Moneycontrol. These factors, he said, included the fact that the … [Read more...] about Mercedes-Benz India CEO clarifies why ‘SIPs are competition’. Here is what he said
