On April 23, India downgraded diplomatic ties with Pakistan and announced a series of measures including expulsion of Pakistani military attaches, suspension of the over six-decade-old Indus Water Treaty and immediate shutting down of the Attari land-transit post.Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said the cross-border linkages to the Pahalgam attack was "brought out" in a briefing to the CCS following which it decided to take the measures against Pakistan.

In a clear display of divergent strategies, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and mutual funds took opposite calls on a clutch of new-age stocks during the March 2025 quarter. An analysis of 14 new age stocks shows that FIIs chose to cut their stakes 8 scrips in Q4FY25 compared to the Q3FY25, while mutual funds raised their holdings in them, signaling continued domestic confidence even as global investors turned cautious amid Donald Trump’s tariff tantrums and their own assessment of domestic market landscape.Conversely, in five other new-age stocks, FIIs increased their exposure while MFs opted to pare down stakes, highlighting a sharp contrast in outlook between the two investor classes.The trend highlights how mutual funds — often seen as having a better pulse on domestic growth stories — showed greater conviction in several digital-first or tech-led businesses. FIIs are traditionally sensitive to global risk-off sentiments and adopted a stock picking approach by reducing their exposure in the majority of stocks under review while increasing in others. Here is a detailed breakdown of FII and MF trends that emerged in the quarter gone by:FIIs trimmed their holdings in 9 new-age stocks in the January-March quarter while increasing in 5 others. The highest selling was seen in Eternal (erstwhile Zomato) where FIIs sold 2.9% stake in the March ended quarter. The next in line are PB Fintech (Policybazaar) and Delhivery where foreign investors offloaded 1.9% and 1.8%.Other stocks which saw FII selling in Q4FY25 are Brainbees Solutions (Firstcry), Swiggy, One Mobikwik Systems, One 97 Communications (Paytm), Netweb Technologies and FSN E-Commerce Ventures (Nykaa). The cuts were to the tune of 1.7% to 0.2%.On the other hand, MFs raised their holdings 8 counters viz. Eternal, PB Fintech, Delhivery, Brainbees Solutions, Swiggy, Paytm, Netweb Tech and Paytm. While Eternal saw the highest raise of 2.95%, Netweb’s 0.12% in the March quarter was the lowest QoQ increase.One Mobikwik Systems is the only stock in which both FIIs and MFs sold stakes in the January-March quarter. MFs 3.3% stake sale remains the highest institutional sale among its peers. <iframe title="New-age stocks: FII | MF QoQ change" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-y63F4" src="https://et-infographics.indiatimes.com/graphs/y63F4/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="760" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}}))}();</script>Trend reversal: FIIs vs MFsFIIs were net buyers in five stocks in the March quarter. CarTrade Tech saw the highest rise in FII holding taking it from 55.12% in Q3 to 60.96 in Q4, which is a 5.84% QoQ uptick. Next in line were Easy Trip and Ola which saw 1.16% and 0.79% rise. Honasa Consumer and Unicommerce saw 0.11% and 0.10% rise.At the same time, MFs diluted their holdings in the above stocks. The sharpest cut of 2.15% was seen in CarTrade Tech (After One Mobikwik as discussed above). In OLA Electric Mobility and Honasa Consumer, MFs trimmed their holding by 1.5% and 40 bps while in Easy Trip Planners and Unicommerce eSolutions, there was a marginal cut of 2 bps and 4 bps, respectively.Returns snapshotIn terms of consistent returns, CarTrade Tech remains the biggest takeaway for investors, delivering multibagger returns of 132% over a 1-year period. Meanwhile, it has yielded 11% positive returns on the year-to-date basis and is among three stocks which have managed to give positive returns in 2025, so far. The other two counters are Eternal and Nykaa.All other stocks have fallen on the YTD basis with the sharpest fall witnessed in One Mobikwik Systems, Netweb Technologies, Brainbees Solutions, OLA Electric Mobility and Swiggy which have fallen between 57% and 41%.Unicommerce eSolutions, Policybazaar, Easy Trip, Delhivery and Paytm have also fallen in double-digits when Nifty has risen by 1.2%, YTD.Paytm has seen a sharp reversal following lows after regulatory setbacks last year. It has turned multibagger with returns of 131% over a 1-year period.<iframe title="New-age stocks' returns card " aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-smKP4" src="https://et-infographics.indiatimes.com/graphs/smKP4/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="677" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}}))}();</script>Swiggy has the most recent listing among its peers. Meanwhile, Firstcry, Netweb, Unicommerce, OLA and Swiggy have not completed one year of listing. Swiggy was the last in the pack to get listed in November.OutlookThe next big trigger for the price trajectory will be corporate earnings. JM Financial said that it expects performance variance across internet space driven by sector specific trends. "While Eternal and Swiggy food delivery growth is expected to moderate, aggressive dark store expansion would drive healthy growth in quick commerce (QC). Similarly, while food delivery margins are expected to expand, high competitive intensity and store expansion is likely to impact QC margins," this brokerage said. Nykaa could sustain profitability while FirstCry's India multi-channel growth is likely to remain weak, with cost-control becoming a focus in International business, JM said in a note. PB Fintech new business premium growth would normalise due to ULIP slowdown but renewals can sustain the momentum. Paytm is likely to see a flattish quarter sequentially with rising mix of merchant loans and operating leverage driving margin improvement. As for CarTrade, strong YoY growth with the commensurate margin delivery is expected. Delhivery continues to face headwinds in express parcels due to scaling of Valmo and QC but Ecom Express acquisition could just be the trigger needed.(Data Inputs by Ritesh Presswala)(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

नलिनी रंजन, पटना। देश-विदेश के विभिन्न शहरों में ई-कामर्स की धूम चल रही है। होम डिलीवरी व्यवस्था बाइक पर टिकी है। खासकर फूड, राशन व दवा की डिलीवरी सबसे ज्यादा की जाती है। बाइक में पेट्राल का उपयोग होने से जहां यह महंगा है, वहीं पर्यावरण के लिए भी नुकसानदायक है।

इन समस्याओं को देखते हुए भारतीय प्रौद्योगिकी संस्थान (आईआईटी), पटना दो मॉडल में ई-साइिकल तैयार कर रहा है। इसमें पहली ई-साइकिल एक बार चार्जिंग के बाद 35-45 किलोमीटर तक चलेगी, जबकि दूसरा मॉडल 80-90 किलोमीटर की रेंज को कवर करेगा। इसका प्रारंभिक परीक्षण हो चुका है।

कुलसचिव के निर्देशन में किया गया कार्य

आईआईटी के डीन प्रशासन प्रो. एके ठाकुर के निर्देशन में अभिजीत कुमार और उनकी टीम ने इसे तैयार किया है। इसे आईआईटी के इनोवेशन सेंटर में बनाया गया है।

पहले मॉडल की कीमत 25,999 रुपये रखी गई है। यह 25 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटा की गति से 35-45 किलोमीटर तक एक चार्जिंग में चल सकती है। तीन-चार घंटे में यह फुल चार्ज हो जाती है। डिश ब्रेक और ऑन स्क्रीन स्पीड देखने की सुविधा, लाइट और हार्न आदि की भी इसमें सुविधा है।

दूसरा मॉडल 50-60 किलोग्राम सामान ढोने के लिए बनाया गया है। यह 80-90 किलोमीटर की रेंज कवर करेगा। इसकी कीमत 28,999 रुपये है। नाइजीरिया से इसके लिए ऑर्डर भी मिल चुका है।

प्रो. एके ठाकुर ने बताया कि सामान्य फ्रेम में ही इसे डिजाइन किया गया है। इसमें डिश ब्रेक, शाकर, पैडल असिस्ट, लाइट, हार्न आदि फीचर हैं। पहले मॉडल का वजन 23 और दूसरे का 30 किलोग्राम है।

सूटकेस इन्वर्टर की नाइजीरिया में है काफी मांग

अभीजीत कुमार ने बताया कि पहले चरण में माइनस 20 डिग्री तापमान में कार्य करने वाला सूटकेस इन्वर्टर नाइजीरिया में करीब 300 पीस भेजा गया है। इसके अतिरिक्त बिहार के साथ-साथ बेंगलुरु, हैदराबाद, आंध्र प्रदेश, झारखंड के विभिन्न शहरों में विक्रय किया गया है। अब तक 800 पीस बिक चुका है।

बाजार में दो केवीए, 1.5 केवीए, 1000 वीए, 850 वीए, 600 वीए, 300 वीए उपलब्ध है। इसके अतिरिक्त 5000 वीए तथा 3500 वीए सोलर पैनल के साथ बैट्री इन्वर्टर टेस्टिंग में खरा उतरा है। अब इसके व्यावसायिक उपयोग पर काम चल रहा है।
