Weekly Market Review & Top Stocks In Focus For The Week Ended October 3, 2025

**Weekly Market Review: September 2025**

Last week, the markets experienced a significant downturn, breaking a 3-week winning streak. The downward momentum continued during the truncated week until the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting outcome was announced, which lifted market sentiment.

The decline in indices was primarily driven by multiple factors: foreign institutional selling with more than $22 billion withdrawn from the Indian market since the beginning of 2025, restrictions on US H-1B visas, President Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on the import of branded and patented pharmaceutical products, delays in the US-India trade agreement, a record low rupee, uncertainty ahead of the September quarter earnings, and liquidity constraints in the secondary market. The liquidity pressure was further compounded by a slew of new IPOs entering Dalal Street, with the most talked-about being the Tata Capital IPO.

### RBI MPC Meeting: A Market Roller Coaster

Mid-week, the markets witnessed a roller-coaster ride following the RBI MPC meeting. The RBI Governor decided to keep repo rates unchanged at 5.50%. As communicated earlier, the chances of a rate cut during this meeting were minimal due to low inflation and strong GDP growth figures in Q1FY26.

While rates were unchanged, the highlight was the RBI Governor’s commentary. The Governor projected a favorable growth-inflation outlook while maintaining the policy stance. Optimism surged as the RBI lowered its inflation forecast from 3.1% to 2.6% and raised GDP growth expectations from 6.5% to 6.8%.

Supportive factors included strong September auto sales and robust GST collections that rose over 9% to Rs 1.9 lakh crore. This upbeat sentiment propelled the Sensex to rally over 700 points, with the Nifty closing above the 24,800 mark—ending a 9-day losing streak.

Additional positives that buoyed the market were measures aimed at improving liquidity, speculation of a possible rate cut in December, NBFCs being granted infrastructure status, and Brent crude prices falling to a 4-month low, which should further support market performance.

### Looking Ahead: Q2FY26 Earnings and Economic Data

As we approach the Q2FY26 earnings season, provisional business updates from banks, NBFCs, realty, and FMCG sectors will be closely monitored. Despite the noise around global and local markets, we remain optimistic over the medium to long term. Recent GST cuts have boosted positive sentiment across sectors, which is expected to accelerate volume growth alongside GDP expansion in the coming period.

### How Did the Markets Fare Last Week?

For the week ending Friday, Indian benchmark indices closed in green. The Sensex and Nifty gained close to 1% each, with midcap stocks outperforming by rising approximately 2.1%.

### What Might Keep Markets Busy Next Week?

The upcoming week will be eventful with several key economic data releases from both domestic and global markets, expected to influence market direction.

**Domestic Data to Watch:**
– Foreign Exchange (FX) Reserves
– Bank Loan Growth
– HSBC Composite, Manufacturing, and Services PMI

In addition, as the September quarter earnings season gears up, leading companies from FMCG, banking, and select sectors will release business updates for Q2FY26. These updates will be essential to gauge the earnings expectations for the full season ahead.

**Global Events to Track:**
– Speeches from Federal Reserve officials
– US Nonfarm Payrolls
– FOMC Minutes (critical for policy outlook)
– Initial Jobless Claims

Progress in India-US trade talks and any tariff-related commentary from President Trump will also keep markets engaged. Furthermore, foreign institutional investment flows remain an important variable to monitor in the near term.

### Crude and FII Flows

Brent crude oil prices declined to $64 per barrel ahead of an OPEC+ meeting anticipated to see the return of more idled barrels, raising concerns about oversupply. Meanwhile, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued to be net sellers throughout the week.

### Sector in Focus: Metals, PSU Banks & Realty

These sectors remained in the spotlight during the week, attracting investor attention due to ongoing corporate developments and government policies.

### Stocks That Remained in Focus

**Sammaan Capital:**
Avenir Investment plans to invest Rs 8,850 crore via shares and warrants at Rs 139 per share, an 18% discount to the current market price. Post-investment, Avenir will hold a 43.46% stake and make an open offer, with Rs 4,587 crore invested through shares and the balance through warrants in two tranches.

**Maruti Suzuki:**
Maruti Suzuki sold 1,89,665 units in September 2025, aligning with estimates. Exports hit a record 42,204 units—up 52% year-on-year (YoY), although domestic sales fell 6.3%. Production rose 26% YoY to 2.01 lakh units due to strong passenger vehicle output. The company highlighted record festive demand, with 1,65,000 deliveries made in the first eight days of Navratri and daily bookings increasing by 50% after recent price cuts. Exports in H1FY26 crossed 2.1 lakh units, including over 6,000 electric vehicles shipped in August–September.

**Lemon Tree Hotels:**
Lemon Tree Hotels announced the signing of its latest property, Keys Select by Lemon Tree Hotels in Haridwar, featuring 52 rooms, a restaurant, conference hall, and a fitness center. This signing expands Lemon Tree’s leisure portfolio in Uttarakhand, where it currently operates 8 properties with 9 more upcoming.

**KNR Construction:**
The company received a Letter of Acceptance from Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation for constructing two 3-lane flyovers on NH65 at Kukatpally “Y” junction, Telangana. The EPC/Turnkey project is valued at Rs 72.80 crore (excluding GST) with a 24-month construction timeline.

**Unimech Aerospace:**
The company provided business updates indicating a revenue slowdown for Q2FY26, expected to be marginally lower than Q1. This is mainly due to US tariffs impacting export realizations, causing customers to delay orders. Profit pressures were also noted, making it challenging to meet the full-year FY26 revenue guidance.

**Nestlé India:**
Nestlé India signed an MoU with the Ministry of Food Processing Industries to accelerate investments in greenfield and brownfield projects in Odisha and existing manufacturing sites. These investments over the next 2-3 years reaffirm the company’s commitment to India’s food processing sector and are expected to generate employment, supporting the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision.

**Time Technoplast:**
The company secured the BIS License under IS 14885:2022 for manufacturing PE pipes used in gas distribution within Q2FY26. This milestone will boost market presence and support sustainable infrastructure growth. The company targets 20+ gas distribution firms, expecting 30% growth in the PE pipe segment.

**RITES:**
RITES signed an MoU with Etihad Rail and its UAE-based subsidiary NICC to collaborate on mobility infrastructure projects in the UAE and beyond. This partnership leverages RITES’ 50 years of expertise and strengthens its global presence under the ‘RITES Videsh’ initiative.

**PN Gadgil Jewellers:**
Achieved record festive sales of ₹618 crore during Navratri and Dussehra, marking a 65% YoY increase. Navratri sales were ₹428 crore (+66% YoY) and Dussehra set a single-day record of ₹190 crore (+64% YoY). Gold was the major growth driver despite a 50% surge in gold prices, alongside strong diamond and silver sales. Volume growth was notable across all categories.

**Bharat Electronics (BEL):**
BEL secured additional orders worth Rs 1,092 crore since mid-September, including EW System upgrades, defence network enhancements, tank subsystems, communication equipment, EVM supplies, and services. As of April 1, BEL’s order book stood at Rs 71,650 crore. Since FY26 began, BEL has disclosed orders worth Rs 7,348 crore, representing 27% of its full-year order inflow guidance of Rs 27,000 crore. This excludes a significant quick-reaction surface-to-air missile order valued at Rs 30,000 crore.

### Closing Thoughts

Patience creates wealth! Despite short-term volatility, the medium to long-term outlook remains positive, driven by supportive policy measures, improving macroeconomic indicators, and robust corporate performance. We will continue to monitor market developments and keep you updated.

From tequila cocktails to themed pop-ups, Taylor Swift fans celebrate ‘The Life of a Showgirl’

From Mexico City to Manila, the United Kingdom to the United States, Taylor Swift fans hooted, sobbed happy tears, and danced their way through the pop star’s latest album release, *The Life of a Showgirl*. Swift’s 12th studio offering dropped Friday, and her Swifties were more than ready for it.

Many were dripping in the color orange to usher in her latest era at gatherings around the world. Some closed their eyes to take in the fresh dozen tracks amid the chaotic crowds around them.

Jose Maria Bastida, a writer, rocked an orange sequin tuxedo jacket at a watch party in a Mexico City restaurant serving Swift-themed cocktails, including a tequila-heavy *Ophelia’s Juice* and a liquored-up *Showgirl Slushy*. “I feel like it’s super experimental,” he said of the album, “because it’s supposed to bring a lot of new stuff and we haven’t seen that more sexy side of Taylor Swift.”

### Fans Snatch Up *Showgirl* in All Its Variants

In Los Angeles, the fervent lined up at midnight at a Target to snap up the new music on vinyl and CD. Maria-Elena Garcia rented a hotel room and drove in from Santa Barbara. “I like a lot of her values and like we have a lot similar values. For example, cats,” she said.

### Swift Schools AMC on How to Treat Fans

In theaters, Swift is schooling AMC on how to treat her fans. The theater chain has granted special permission for moviegoers to sing and dance their way through screenings of *The Official Release Party of a Showgirl*, in select theaters for the weekend only. The film is screening around the world.

Added bonus: No trailers beforehand.

Fiona Cela, 11, in London woke up at 4:30 a.m. to listen to the album. She then headed out with her mother to the studios of Global’s Capital radio, hoping for a glimpse of Swift as she gave an interview there. On her agenda after that: school.

“Taylor as a person is just super kind and loving,” she said, her wrists stacked with Swift-themed friendship bracelets. “Her music is so inspiring.”

### Swifties Celebrate at a Special Pub

At the Black Dog pub in London, thought to be the location for Swift’s song *Black Dog* from her last album, vacationing American Natalie Richmond, 43, showed up to mark the occasion. Her two Swiftie daughters woke her up extra early to listen to the album.

“We actually lived in Nashville early on so we’ve been following her ever since she began,” Richmond said. “She’s relatable. She’s the person that everybody wants to be friends with. We all listen to her music and think I’d love to go out and hang out with her.”

Longtime Swiftie Helen Brabant-Bleakley showed up at the Black Dog to mark her 30th birthday, wearing a teal sash with gold lettering that read: *The Life of a Birthday Girl*. “My good friend Taylor Swift gave me the best present ever by dropping a new album,” she said, noting she’s already picked a couple of favorite cuts from the album: “Father Figure” and “Elizabeth Taylor.”

### Drag Queens Lip-Sync Swift as Hundreds Cheer

A Manila mall went full Swift with a drag show, games, raffles, and performers. Hundreds of screaming fans dressed in showgirl gear braved rain to celebrate at an outdoor amphitheater.

Among them was Cyril Aviguetero, 18. With a red showgirl headpiece complementing his outfit, he was most excited about Track 7, *Actually Romantic*. Asked why, he mused: “I’m not sure, but I’m also trying to find what’s actually romantic in my life,” he said.

Other Swift events were held around the Philippines.

### Kansas City’s Union Station Lights Up for Swift

Kansas City’s Union Station was lit up in orange and teal in celebration. Musician Chloe Rose entertained Swift fans with four hours of covers at a spot there ahead of the release as the crowd made friendship bracelets and sipped on themed cocktails.

Number balloons for 12 floated around as Rose sang and played guitar and keyboards.

Fan Tara Pickarell showed up but chose solitude to later take in the new work. “I have to be in my own space to listen to it. I need my own little bubble.”

Pickarell is happy the album is pop-heavy. “I do like her slower songs, but I’m excited to get back to like *1989* and *Reputation* vibes,” she said.

### Showgirl Pop-Up Draws Lines for Photos with Props

In New York, hundreds of fans lined up to walk through a three-day Spotify pop-up offering five showgirl-themed rooms. They took photos with feathery boas and other props.

“I feel like there’s so few moments like this where you actually get to connect with other fans,” said Ali Meehan. “Like we all kind of listen in our rooms, alone in our houses.”

This time around, Swift includes abundant nods to fiancé Travis Kelce amid the glitz, glamour, and Las Vegas lechery of it all. This Swift isn’t waiting in the wings, and she’s definitely not holed up alone.

“This is so different from the last album, but in a really good way,” said Hannah Zuckerbraun, a fan in a Swift T-shirt among Target-goers in Los Angeles. “Like, it’s a lot happier sounding. I feel like it’s perfect and upbeat.”

**Mar Mediterráneo, 2 de octubre de 2025**

Después de que las fuerzas navales de ocupación israelí interceptaran ilegalmente los barcos de la Flotilla Global Sumud — un convoy pacífico y no violento que transportaba alimentos, leche en polvo, medicinas y voluntarios de 47 países hacia Gaza — cientos de participantes fueron secuestrados y llevados a bordo del gran buque militar MSC Johannesburg.

Esto ocurrió tras ser atacados con cañones de agua, rociados con agua pestilente y sufrir el bloqueo sistemático de sus comunicaciones, constituyendo nuevos actos de agresión contra civiles desarmados.

Además, varios barcos fueron detenidos por una barrera en forma de cadena en aguas internacionales, donde Israel no tiene jurisdicción, al igual que no la tiene sobre las aguas y la costa de Gaza, lo que agrava sus crímenes de guerra y el bloqueo ilegal.

Los abogados de Adalah, quienes representan a los participantes de la flotilla ante las autoridades israelíes, han recibido información mínima y desconocen si los 443 voluntarios estimados, arrancados por la fuerza de sus embarcaciones, serán trasladados a Ashdod, donde se prevé que sean sometidos a una detención ilegal.

Esto constituye un secuestro ilegal, en violación directa del derecho internacional y de los derechos humanos fundamentales.

Interceptar embarcaciones humanitarias en aguas internacionales es un crimen de guerra; negar acceso a asistencia legal y ocultar el destino de las personas detenidas agrava aún más este crimen.

Exigimos que los gobiernos, líderes mundiales e instituciones internacionales intervengan de inmediato para obtener información sobre los participantes desaparecidos, garantizar su seguridad y exigir su liberación inmediata.

Nuestro compromiso sigue siendo claro: romper el asedio ilegal de Israel y poner fin al genocidio en curso contra el pueblo palestino. Cada acto de represión contra nuestra flotilla, cada escalada de violencia en Gaza y cada intento de reprimir las acciones de solidaridad no hacen sino reforzar nuestra determinación.

El *Mikeno*, que navega bajo pabellón francés, podría haber entrado en aguas territoriales palestinas según los datos AIS, pero sigue sin contacto.

El *Marinette*, bajo pabellón polaco, sigue conectado a través de Starlink y en comunicación, con un total de seis pasajeros a bordo.

Relief For Robin Uthappa As Sessions Court Sends 2019 Cheque Bounce Case Back For Fresh Hearing

In a relief to former cricketer Robin Uthappa, the sessions court has sent the cheque bouncing case against him back to the magistrate court for a fresh hearing due to non-compliance with mandatory legal provisions.

Earlier, the magistrate court had initiated proceedings against the firm where Uthappa served as a director in connection with the cheque bouncing case. However, the sessions court has now set aside the summons issued by the magistrate against Uthappa. The court noted that the magistrate court should have carried out a preliminary investigation under the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code to determine if there were sufficient grounds to summon the accused, especially since Uthappa resides outside the court’s jurisdiction.

Accordingly, the sessions court has directed the magistrate court to hear the case afresh.

### Background of the Case

The complaint was filed against Centaurus Lifestyle Brands Pvt Ltd, where Robin Uthappa was a director. It is claimed that Centaurus Lifestyle had engaged Senior Marketing as their sole distributor for their products in Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai.

### Cheques Bounced in 2019

The dispute arose when Centaurus Lifestyle engaged two additional distributors in October 2017 without the consent of the complainant firm. Following a meeting, the complainant returned all stocks, and Centaurus agreed to make the payment.

In July 2018, goods were dispatched, and in February 2019, Centaurus issued post-dated cheques amounting to Rs. 22.22 lakh. However, these cheques bounced in March 2019 due to insufficient funds, leading to the current proceedings.

EXCLUSIVE: Inside Donald Trump and His Old Pal Jeffrey Epstein’s Twisted Fight Over Princess Diana — ‘Both Men Were Circling Around Her Like Sharks’

**Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Viewed Princess Diana as a Social Prize, Source Reveals**

*Published Oct. 3, 2025, 7:47 p.m. ET*

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein reportedly treated Princess Diana as the ultimate prize in a competition to elevate their social status, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

A source close to Diana’s inner circle described the men’s pursuit: “Both men were circling around her like sharks. They saw her as a conquest, not a person. Diana, of course, had no interest in either of them.”

### Circling Diana Like Sharks

This insider’s account is supported by Trump biographer Michael Wolff, who claims that the two openly discussed who could win over the newly divorced princess first. According to Wolff, their interest in Diana—who tragically died in 1997 at age 36—was driven not by affection, but by power and prestige.

### Trump and Epstein’s Sick Contest

“They had a contest, Trump and Epstein,” Wolff stated. “It was about who would be the first to sleep with Princess Diana. For both of them, she represented the pinnacle of social climbing. It wasn’t romance — it was about status.”

Trump, now 79, had publicly expressed his desire for Diana. In a 1997 appearance on *The Howard Stern Show*, he claimed he “could have” slept with her. In a later 2000 broadcast, he referred to the princess as “crazy,” before dismissing the comment as a “minor” detail and boasting that he would have been with her “without hesitation.”

Following Diana’s 1996 divorce from then-Prince Charles, Trump reportedly brazenly attempted to woo her, inundating her with enormous bouquets at Kensington Palace—a gesture Diana found unsettling. She later confided to her inner circle: “Trump gives me the creeps.”

### Denials and Damage Control

Trump’s camp has denied Wolff’s allegations, dismissing the biographer’s account as fiction. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung released a statement calling Wolff “a liar who invents grotesque stories” and asserting he “has no credibility whatsoever.”

Nonetheless, these allegations are likely to renew scrutiny of Trump’s past friendship with Epstein, who was convicted of sex offenses and accused of trafficking underage girls.

### The Unholy Trio: Trump, Epstein, and Prince Andrew

Wolff describes Trump and Epstein as “grifter buddies,” bound together by a shared obsession with women and wealth. “They functioned almost like a duo,” he said. “They were constantly asking: ‘What can we get, how do we get it, who do we use?’”

Wolff went further, claiming that Trump, Epstein, and Prince Andrew, 65, were once inseparable in certain circles. “At one point, they were like three musketeers,” he said. “They had the same interests — the same fixation on women and the same hunger for access and money.”

Although Trump has consistently sought to distance himself from Epstein, his links to the convicted pedophile resurfaced recently after rumors suggested his name appeared in the so-called “Epstein files.” These rumors gained traction amid the acrimonious split between Trump and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk earlier this year, with Musk hinting at the connection during public disputes.

Renewable energy firm to develop 2,000-acre solar project near Phoenix, powering 70,000 homes

A renewable energy company plans to develop more than 2,000 acres near Phoenix for a utility-scale solar energy project aimed at generating power for around 70,000 Arizona homes.

A subsidiary of California-based Avantus Clean Energy expects to begin construction in the fall of 2026 on its Pinyon Solar Project. The development will feature the latest solar technology alongside battery storage facilities to help ensure a reliable energy supply.

The project site is strategically located south of State Route 238, west of State Route 347, and north of Interstate 8. Avantus anticipates that construction will take approximately 18 months, with completion targeted for early 2028.

“We selected this location to minimize impacts both on the surrounding environment and local communities,” said Colin Mann, director of permitting, in a statement shared with Phoenix Business Journal.

An important factor in choosing the site is its proximity to the nearby Pinal West Substation. This allows the project to connect to Arizona’s electrical grid without the need for extensive infrastructure buildout, reducing costs and potential disruptions.

The Pinyon Solar Project represents a significant step forward in expanding renewable energy capacity in Arizona, supporting the state’s clean energy goals while delivering sustainable power to thousands of homes.

Mumbai: Businessman Files Police Complaint Against Kurla’s Fauziya Hospital For Alleged Negligence Toward Elderly Mother

**Businessman and Former Maharashtra Minority Commission Chairman Files Complaint Against Kurla’s Fauziya Hospital Over Alleged Negligence**

Haji Arafat Alamgir Shaikh (47), a prominent businessman, former Chairman of the Maharashtra State Minority Commission, and BJP Transport Cell President, has lodged a police complaint against Fauziya Hospital in Kurla. The complaint centers on allegations of gross negligence and mistreatment of his 71-year-old mother, Shama Shaikh, who was admitted for medical treatment at the facility.

**Background of Admission**

Shama Shaikh, who has been living with diabetes for five years and had previously suffered a paralysis attack, was admitted to Fauziya Hospital on September 15 following complaints of vomiting.

**Alleged Fall Due to Safety Lapses**

According to the FIR filed at the VB Road Police Station, on September 16, while Shama was asleep on her hospital bed, she allegedly fell to the floor as the bed lacked safety railings. She sustained injuries to her face, eyes, stomach, legs, and knees. Haji Arafat claimed that although a domestic aide tried to raise an alarm immediately, no nurse or ward attendant attended to her for nearly 20 minutes.

When the hospital staff finally responded, the night doctor reportedly dismissed the incident, remarking, “These small things happen in hospitals. Shift the old woman, we’ll see in the morning.”

**Delayed Medical Attention**

Despite the visible injuries, Shama Shaikh did not receive any medical treatment for over 12 hours. No doctor reportedly examined her until 10 a.m. the following day. By that time, swelling and black marks had appeared on her face and under her eyes, indicative of internal bleeding.

Haji Arafat further alleged that medical procedures were only initiated after his family doctor, Sohail Khan, visited the hospital and insisted on immediate treatment.

**Accusations Against Hospital Staff**

The complaint names hospital director Dr. Anjum Deshmukh, administrator Usman Shaikh, and duty nurses Amisha Mali and Pratima Gupta as responsible for negligence. Additionally, Riyaz Shaikh, a hospital staffer who arrived to conduct an X-ray 24 hours later, is accused of rude behavior toward the elderly patient. According to the complaint, Riyaz Shaikh said in an insulting tone, “Eat later, don’t you understand? I don’t have time for this now.”

**Police Action and Investigation**

Citing neglect, irresponsibility, and inhumane behavior, Haji Arafat filed a formal complaint at VB Road Police Station. Based on his statement, a case has been registered against the hospital’s directors and staff members. The V.B. Marg Police have initiated an investigation into the matter.

Further updates will be provided as the case develops.
