Top Buzzing Stocks Today

TCS share price will be among the top buzzing stocks today.

India's largest IT company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) clarified on 23 August 2022 that it has not delayed variable pay to employees for Q1 and that it was normal to give it in the first or second month.

"We have come across completely incorrect reports on our compensation. Variable pay is either paid in month one or month 2 as per the normal process and there is no delay in this process. 100% VA is being paid for Q1," the statement by TCS said.

Note that the company's peers Wipro and Infosys have both slashed variable pay for the first quarter.

This comes as IT companies defend their margins, which have come under pressure due to rising employee costs even as they grapple with elevated attrition.

Eicher Motors share price will also be in focus today.

Shares of Eicher Motors have been on an uptrend. Yesterday the company crossed the marketcap mark of Rs 1 tn.

Market participants will also track shares of Deepak Fertilizers.

The company recent reported its earnings where it delivered a robust consolidated financial performance on the back of their unique advantage of integrated operations and diversified end-user segments of core product.

Tata Motors-Tata Power Collaborate for Solar Project

Tata Motors has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Tata Power to develop a 7.25 mwp onsite solar project at its commercial vehicle manufacturing facility.

The project will be a significant move to increase the renewable energy portfolio at its manufacturing facility, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.

With this project, the onsite solar plant capacity of Tata Motors' Jamshedpur facility will reach 14 mwp, which will generate 442 m units of green electricity having the potential to reduce carbon emission by 3.5 lakh tonnes. This is equivalent to planting 5.6 lakh trees.

Adani's Foray in News Channel Space

The Adani group yesterday said it seeks to control a majority stake in the popular New Delhi Television NSE (NDTV).

A unit of the Adani Group said it had used financial rights in a bid to purchase a 29.18% stake in NDTV, laying out plans for a subsequent open offer for another 26% stake in line with Indian regulations.

NDTV said that the Adani Group's move to take control of NDTV's major shareholder was without consent from the company or its founders.

NDTV is regarded as one of the few media groups which often takes a critical view of the ruling administration's policies. It operates three national channels - NDTV 24x7 in English, NDTV India in Hindi and a business news channel.

While Adani did not disclose financial details of the group's planned 29.18% stake purchase, it said its subsequent open offer would be for Rs 294 per NDTV share, which would be worth Rs 4.93 bn.

The acquisition will be made through Vishvapradhan Commercial Private Limited (VPCL), a wholly owned subsidiary of AMG Media Networks Limited, owned by Adani Enterprises.
