As per an article in Livemint, Sun Pharmaceutical is set to buy back 7.5 million shares from the public. The buy back price is set at Rs 900 each. This price is almost at a 20% premium over yesterday's closing price of Rs 751.7. Further, the record date for the buy back is 15 July 2016.

The company stated that the buyback is intended to return the surplus funds to the shareholders and enhance the overall returns for them. Further, the promoter's shareholding post buy back would not fall below their current aggregate percentage shareholding. Currently, the promoter holding stands at 54.97%.

The stock of Sun Pharma is trading up by 0.9%.

In another news update, the monsoon is expected to cover most parts of the country in the next 3-4 days. Reportedly, the advance of south-west monsoon over various parts of west and central India this week reduced the season rainfall deficit from 23% last week to 17% this week.

Further, Indian Meteorological Department in its bulletin stated that the conditions were favourable for further advance of the monsoon into the remaining parts of west Madhya Pradesh and some parts of east Rajasthan during the next 3-4 days.

Moreover, Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted above normal rains. The agency stated that the monsoon rainfall will be 106% of the long period average and there is a 94% probability that the monsoon will be normal to excess. Reportedly, the monsoon is considered normal when the rainfall is 96 to 104% of the Long Period Average (LPA) and is considered above normal when it is 105% to 110% of LPA.

A normal monsoon will lead to higher disposable income in the hands of farmers, which in-turn will boost the rural consumption. To add to this, a normal monsoon will also help to keep the inflation at low levels.

The possibility of a good monsoon would also increase the chances of the country's central bank retaining its easy money policy.

Here is Vivek Kaul's take on why monsoon matters so much for India. Click here to read this interesting piece.
