Moving on to stock-specific news...
Among the buzzing stocks today is Minda Corporation.
Shares of Minda Corporation rose over 4% on the BSE in early trade today after the company's subsidiary Spark Minda Green Mobility Solutions (SMGMS) entered an agreement to acquire a 26% equity stake in charging solutions startup EVQPOINT Solutions.
The investment will see Spark Minda Group become EVQPOINT's exclusive technology and manufacturing partner for battery chargers and EV supply equipment.
The partnership will help Spark Minda to capitalize on the accelerating shift to electric mobility and further bolster its position as a one stop shop for comprehensive charging solutions for EVs including fast charging feature.
EVQPOINT provides smart electric vehicle charging products and solutions indigenously designed and developed, to meet the growing needs of e-mobility market.
The company is a one-stop solution for electric vehicle portable chargers, DC fast chargers, and smart charging stations integrated with charge management system, mobile app, and interoperable tools.
The companies also entered into a technology license agreement (TLA) and a joint collaboration & technical assistance agreement.
How this pans out remains to be seen. Meanwhile, stay tuned for more updates from this space.
At the time of writing, Minda Corporation shares were trading up by 4.6% on the BSE.
Speaking of electric vehicles, note that the power ministry has approved setting up 2,636 electric vehicle charging stations across 62 cities in 24 states.
Here's what Co-Head of Research at Equitymaster, Tanushree Banerjee wrote about electric vehicles in one of her editions of Profit Hunter:
- 106 public and private entities have approached the government for permissions to set up about 7,000 EV charging stations.
This clearly shows the vehicle manufacturers have enough incentive to capture this latent demand.
The tax benefit in terms of a lower GST rate (at 5%) is a further shot in the arm of the EV industry.
As per Tanushree, electric vehicles are very much on their way to invading Indian roads. The threat of disruption in this era is something you cannot ignore.
Tanushree believes a company manufacturing lithium ion batteries for powering electric cars will be a key catalyst for the Rebirth of India.
Moving on to news from the banking sector...
RBI Imposes Rs 2.5 m Fine on Axis Bank for Rule Violations
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 2.5 m on Axis Bank for violation of rules.
The regulator cited non-compliance of the bank with certain provisions of directions issued by RBI contained in the Reserve Bank of India - (Know Your Customer (KYC)) Direction, 2016.
This action is based on the deficiencies in regulatory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers, the RBI said.
The RBI carried out a scrutiny of Axis Bank during February 2020 and March 2020 in a customer account maintained with the bank and it was observed that the bank had failed to comply with the aforesaid directions issued by RBI.
Subsequently, a notice was issued to the bank.
After considering the bank's reply, the RBI came to the conclusion that the charge of contravention of/noncompliance with the aforesaid RBI directions were substantiated and warranted imposition of monetary penalty.
