Corporate & macro desk

What moved the tape and what the IR desks were announcing

• Crude's round trip set the session — Brent briefly crossed $109 a barrel on escalating Middle East tension before easing back, trading at $104.10 and down 3.28% by the Indian close. The Sensex fell as far as 74,160.16 and the Nifty 50 to 23,231.40 in early trade, then recovered more than 600 Sensex points as oil came off. The rupee closed at 95.54, two paise weaker, after paring most of its intraday loss on suspected RBI dollar sales.
• HDFC Bank wins a seventh AT1 judgment — A Bahrain court rejected two further investor claims against the bank relating to Credit Suisse AT1 bonds, taking the number of favourable judgments to seven. The stock rose 2.08% to ₹708.25 and was the heaviest single positive contributor to the Nifty.
• SBI-led consortium to lend Vodafone Idea about $3.5 billion — A consortium led by State Bank of India agreed to provide roughly $3.5 billion of debt financing to support the telecom operator's recovery plan — the largest single financing commitment in the sector this year.
• Premier Energies signs 12 GWh battery term sheet — Premier Energies signed a binding term sheet with Germany's RCT Group to set up a 12 GWh battery storage manufacturing facility in Telangana. Separately, Juniper Green Energy commissioned 35 MW of wind capacity, taking its hybrid project to 175 MWp of a planned 190 MWp, and Texmaco Rail won a ₹27.82 crore order from Hindalco.
• Foreign selling doubles; domestic buying the heaviest of the week — FIIs were net sellers of ₹930.90 crore (bought ₹12,616.89 crore, sold ₹13,547.79 crore) against ₹438.24 crore on 10 September, while DIIs bought a net ₹1,968.17 crore (bought ₹15,109.58 crore, sold ₹13,141.41 crore) — the largest domestic net purchase of the week.
• Realty falls for a sixth session; breadth stays negative — Nifty Realty lost 2.70%, its sixth consecutive decline, with Godrej Properties off 6.62%, Lodha Developers 4.59% and Aditya Birla Real Estate 4.17%. The BSE counted 2,018 advances against 2,470 declines with 241 unchanged.
• Wall Street rallies into the weekend — The Dow closed at 52,573.29 (+0.98%), the S&P 500 at 7,656.98 (+0.86%) and the Nasdaq at 26,333.04 (+0.96%) on 11 September, after moderate US inflation data and easing crude clawed back much of the week's loss. WTI settled at $100.13, down 2.29%.
• Kotak Mahindra Bank loses its commercial banking head — Manish Kothari, Group President and Head of Commercial Banking, resigned with effect from 30 September 2026.

IPOs open now

The fifteen issues taking bids during the 11 September session · subscription as at the close of 11 Sep (IPO Watch, page updated 12 Sep — the exchanges have not traded since); grey-market premium from ipoji.com's snapshot stamped 13 Sep 2026, 7:00 PM IST; dates and coverage cross-checked against gmpipowatch.in

Grey-market premium is an unofficial, unregulated indication traded outside the exchange mechanism. It carries no exchange or regulatory sanction, moves continuously through the bidding window, and is shown here as market colour only — not as a guide to listing price. The GMP column is a single timestamped source (ipoji.com, 13 Sep 2026, 7:00 PM IST) rather than a blend: other trackers carried materially different figures for the same issues at the same time, which is itself the point about how firm these numbers are. NSE's official issue feed could not be reached on this run, so issue size, lot size, basis-of-allotment dates and anchor-book status are not carried, and a blank cell means not sourced, not zero. Amtech Esters, Infrax Renewable, Vinod Texworld, Om Galaxy and Panchatv Bharat had no GMP in that snapshot, and the source did not separate NSE EMERGE from BSE SME for the issues marked simply SME. Nine of the fifteen closed for subscription on 11 September and list on 17 September; Manika Plastech's listing date was not sourced. Coming up: Hero Motors, Jindal Supreme (India) and SS Retail on 16–18 September, and the National Stock Exchange of India's own issue at ₹1,700–1,785 on 17–21 September.
