Speaking of stock markets, Tata Motors has now gone past Maruti Suzuki to emerge as India's most valuable auto manufacturer.

From a loss of Rs 287 bn in FY19, perhaps its highest ever, Tata Motors has earned record profits of Rs 157 bn in the trailing twelve-month period. And it is this turnaround that has led to investors warming up to the stock and turning it into a 12-bagger since its March 20 lows.

However, when it comes to fundamental parameters like profitability, return ratios and balance sheet strength, Maruti is comfortably ahead of Tata Motors.

Why is it then Tata Motors enjoys nearly the same valuation as Maruti? Why is Mr Market considering Tata Motors at par with Maruti?

HUL to set up Palm Oil Facility

The Andhra Pradesh government and Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) are in talks to collaborate on palm oil production.

The two sides are looking at setting up a palm plantation and oil mill, which is expected to create over 1,000 direct and indirect jobs.

Palm oil finds wide use across industries, from biscuits to personal-care products. India is the world's biggest importer of palm oil.

The government expressed its desire to attract investments in the palm oil sector, highlighting the benefits for farmers and the industry, as well as the reduction in dependence on imports of the commodity.

HUL is looking to collaborate with over 15,000 farmers in Andhra to set up at least 30,000 hectares of oil palm plantations. The proposed plan includes setting up sapling nurseries, palm fresh fruit bunch collection centres, and a state-of-the-art oil mill in the state, with investments exceeding Rs 3 bn over the project development period.

HUL reaffirmed its commitment to partnering with the state in the agriculture sector during a meeting between HUL delegates and Andhra Pradesh's agriculture, cooperation, marketing, and food processing minister Kakani Govardhana Reddy in Nellore on 12 February.

HUL will also provide agricultural extension services and implement a comprehensive farmer outreach programme to introduce best-in-class farming practices.

The collaboration aims to contribute to the sustainable localisation of palm oil production in India.

HUL is among India's largest FMCG companies with a diverse product portfolio including soaps and detergents, personal care products, and food and beverages.

The company has 31 owned factories and many outsourced production facilities across the country.
