Tata Steel Imports Coal from Russia

Steel major Tata Steel imported about 75,000 tonnes of coal from Russia in the second half of May, weeks after pledging to stop doing business with Russia.

In April this year, Tata Steel had said all its manufacturing sites in India, the UK and the Netherlands had sourced alternative supplies of raw materials to end its dependence on Russia, adding it was taking a conscious decision to stop doing business with Russia.

Despite this statement, sources said that in May, Tata Steel shipped about 75,000 tonnes of PCI coal, used in steelmaking, from Russia's Vanino port.

Interesting to note that the deal to import coal from Russia was made before the company's announcement to cut business ties with Russia.

Note that metal stocks have fallen this year and have eroded around a quarter of their market value.

Check out this video where India's #1 trader Vijay Bhambwani discusses what you should do with metal stocks right now.

Breather for Mutual Funds

In news from the mutual fund space, the market regulator has permitted mutual funds to again invest in foreign stocks within the aggregate mandated limit of US$ 7 bn for the industry.

In January, the market watchdog had asked mutual fund houses to stop taking fresh subscriptions in schemes investing in overseas stocks.

The directive to stop subscription was mainly on account of the mutual fund industry crossing the mandated limit of US$ 7 bn for overseas investments.

The recent meltdown in global stocks reduced the cumulative value of investments made by all the mutual fund houses together.

Meanwhile, Edelweiss Mutual Fund announced that it will be accepting inflows in its international schemes from Tuesday.

Mamaearth's IPO

In latest developments from the IPO space, according to reports, Indian skincare startup Mamaearth is in talks to raise at least US$300 m in a planned IPO for 2023.

The company is seeking a valuation of around US$3 bn.

Just five months back in January this year, the company was valued at US$1.2 bn. Back then, it raised fresh funds from investors including Sequoia and Belgium's Sofina.

Mamaearth was founded in 2016. The company has become popular in India with its range of "toxin-free" products such as face washes, shampoos and hair oils.

It competes with Unilever's India unit, Hindustan Unilever (HUL), and Procter & Gamble Co in the booming personal care industry.

Note that this startup's IPO plans come at a time when there's uncertainty all around. Indian share markets are falling which has brought a halt to the primary market.

We will keep you updated on the latest developments from this space. Stay tuned.
