Asian share markets lost ground on Thursday, still hurting from China's slip into deflation, with investors particularly cautious ahead of a crucial US inflation report that will likely influence the Federal Reserve's monetary policy path.

The Nikkei is trading 0.6% higher while the Hang Seng index is down 1%. The Shanghai Composite is trading down by 0.3%.

Eicher Motors EV collaboration

Eicher Trucks and Buses, a division of VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV), collaborated with Amazon for the electrification of the e-commerce firm's delivery operations in India.

Amazon will gradually deploy 50 Eicher electric trucks in Delhi, Manesar, Gurugram and other places for its middle-mile and last-mile deliveries. The collaboration will introduce 1,000 zero-emission electric trucks across various payload categories into Amazon's delivery operations over the next five years.

The trucks will be deployed through Amazon's transport service partners.

Eicher's electric trucks have deck lengths ranging from eight to 24 feet and are equipped with customised cargo stacking configurations.

They have fast- and slow-charging options depending on the needs of specific operations.

Servicing the truck considers charging infrastructure, operational requirements and battery capacity.

Note that the?electric vehicle (EV) megatrend?is a once in a century revolution happening right in front of us.?

The revolution has taken the auto sector by storm. All segments of the sector are ripe for disruption, and?India's top EV stocks?are set to benefit from this shift.

It remains to see how all this pans out.

Axis Bank to acquire stake in Max Life Insurance

Axis Bank, along with its subsidiaries on Wednesday, announced to acquire the remaining 7% stake in Max Life Insurance. The bank's acquisitions, divestments and merger committee has approved an infusion of Rs 16.1 bn in Max Life through preferential allotment.

The combined weight of Axis Bank, Axis Securities, and Axis Capital has already provided them with a significant 12% stake in Max Life.

With the acquisition of the additional 7% stake, the collective holdings of Axis Entities will surge to a slightly over 19% stake in Max Life.

Notably, this strategic move will also see an increase in Axis Bank's direct stake in Max Life to 16.2%.

The acquisition price has been fixed at Rs 113.06 per share for the balance stake, witnessing a substantial increase from the initial acquisition price of Rs 32% for the first 13% stake.

The development will cement the position of Axis Entities comprising Axis Bank, Axis Securities, and Axis Capital, as key stakeholders in the insurance giant.

However, this development has not been devoid of regulatory scrutiny.

With the economy recovering from the effects of the pandemic, the demand for credit is steadily going up. To know the bank has a better chance to expand its asset base, check out ICICI Bank vs Axis Bank: Which Bank Stock is Better?
