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.

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

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.
