Corporate & macro desk
What moved the tape and what the IR desks were announcing
- SEBI settles minimum public shareholding matter with Adani group — The regulator settled alleged minimum-public-shareholding lapses involving Gautam Adani and four group companies for total payments of Rs 1.48 crore.

- Ola Electric board clears a Rs 1,000 crore rights issue — The board approved a rights issue of up to Rs 1,000 crore, following an earlier Rs 780 crore qualified institutional placement. The board meets again on 05 October to take the rights issue forward.
- Expiry-day volatility and West Asia set the tone — The session fell on F&O expiry-day swings layered over unresolved Iran geopolitics, firm crude, a soft rupee and rising global yields. The US 10-year Treasury yield touched 5.25%, its highest in 24 years, and the domestic 10-year hit 7.19% intraday.
- Moneyview IPO closes 98.46 times subscribed — The Rs 1,092 crore issue drew bids for 228.95 crore shares against 2.33 crore on offer. A-One Steels India closed its book at 11.61 times.
- Tata Trusts proposes folding two operating entities into Tata Sons — The proposal would merge Tata Electronics Systems Solutions and Tata Consulting Engineers into Tata Sons. Tata group stocks underperformed through the session.

Grey market premium is an unofficial, unregulated indicator of sentiment in an off-market trade. It is not a forecast of the listing price, it is not published or endorsed by the exchanges or SEBI, and it can move sharply within a single day. A blank cell means the figure could not be sourced for the session, not that it is zero — GMP is shown only for the two issues the timestamped tracker still listed as open at 8:00 PM, and lot size, basis-of-allotment and listing dates were not obtainable from any source reached. Subscription multiples are an 11:57 AM snapshot and are therefore not final for the four issues that closed on 29 September. SME issues carry no row this edition because the NSE SME upcoming-issues feed returned no data, so official terms could not be confirmed; ipoji.com listed Green Asia Impex and Papadmalji Agro Foods on the NSE SME platform and Acme Universal Safezone 9, Pind Hospitality, Shivchem Agro, Black Opal Consultants, Vans Electroengineerings, EverestIMS Technologies and Shree TNB Polymers on BSE SME as open during the session. Vishal Nirmiti Limited (mainboard) and Eventions Limited (SME) open on 30 September.

Commodities, currency & global
Indian bullion quotes are retail reference rates and vary materially by city and by aggregator — 24K per 10g came back between Rs 1,47,570 and Rs 1,50,160 across three sources for the same day, so the mid-cluster figure is carried and no day-on-day change is shown. Brent is quoted at the Indian close; it eased through US hours after touching about USD 108 intraday, and wire reports put it between USD 100 and USD 103 by the US settlement. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq are the 29 September US close, which fell at about 2:00 AM IST on 30 September — the same session the Indian market was reacting to.
What we are watching next session
- The RBI's Monetary Policy Committee meets 05–07 October, with the domestic 10-year having touched 7.19% during the session and the US 10-year at a 24-year high.
- Shah Investor's Home and Srit India have their final bidding day on 30 September; Vishal Nirmiti opens on the mainboard and Eventions on the SME platform the same day.
- Crude and the rupee: Brent swung between roughly USD 100 and USD 108 around the session, and the rupee closed at 95.98 after the RBI capped the intraday fall at 96.15.
- TCS opens the Q2 reporting season on 08 October, with HCL Technologies on 12 October and the three large private banks all on 17 October.
- FII cash selling of Rs 9,980 crore was the heaviest single session of the month; whether domestic institutions keep absorbing it at September's pace is the number to watch first.
