Asian stocks rose on Wednesday, while the dollar was steady as a softening US labour market firmed up bets of an interest rate cut in September from the Federal Reserve ahead of a crucial payrolls report this week.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.24 per cent, while the Nikkei fell 1 per cent as the Japanese yen flirted with two-week highs.

US stocks flipped between negative and positive territory on Tuesday, finishing narrowly in the green as investors shifted their rate-cut expectations after more weaker-than-expected economic data.

Tata Motors to set up a New Commercial Vehicle Subsidiary

Tata Motors on Tuesday said its board has approved to set up a wholly-owned subsidiary to house the commercial vehicles business.

The company has proposed the name of the new unit as TML Commercial Vehicles.

The entity is proposed to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, Tata Motors said in a regulatory filing.

In March this year, Tata Motors announced the demerger of its commercial and passenger vehicle segments into two separate listed entities to better capitalise on growth opportunities.

As part of the initiative, the CV business and its related investments would be housed in one entity, while the passenger vehicle business, including electric vehicles, Jaguar Land Rover and its related investments, will come under a separate listed entity.

Tata Motors Limited is a leading global automobile manufacturer with a portfolio that covers a wide range of cars, SUVs, buses, trucks, pickups, and defence vehicles.

It's a US$ 34 bn organisation and a leading global automobile manufacturing company.

Hindalco Postpones IPO

Novelis Inc., the US subsidiary of Hindalco Industries, has decided to postpone its initial public offering (IPO) for now.

Hindalco said Novelis will continue to evaluate the timing for the public offer in the future.

The company had planned to raise between US$ 810 m and US$ 945 m by offering shares priced between US$ 18 and US$ 21. With an additional greenshoe option, the total proceeds were expected to range from $931.5 million to US$ 1.1 billion.

This IPO was anticipated to be the largest ever by an Indian company in the US.

The shares to be sold in the IPO were to come from AV Minerals (Netherlands) NV, another subsidiary of Hindalco Industries. AV Minerals planned to offload around 45 m shares. After the IPO, Hindalco would have retained 92.5% ownership of Novelis, holding 555 m common shares.

Novelis is the world's largest recycler of aluminium, with customers that include Coca-Cola, Ford and Jaguar LandRover. The company had clocked strong EBITDA/tonne of $540 in Q4FY24, supporting Hindalco's operating performance.
