In news from the travel and tourism sector, Indian Hotels (IHCL) signs another hotel in Dharamshala.

The hospitality group on 20 September, announced the signing of its second hotel in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh under the SeleQtions brand.

With the addition of this hotel, IHCL will have three hotels across brands in Himachal Pradesh including two under development.

A franchised hotel in management with Sohum Hotels & Resorts, the operational hotel will be rebranded under the IHCL SeleQtions brand.

Note that the travel and tourism industry was one of the worst effected industries during the covid-19 period. Some of the stocks from the sector fell nearly 70% in less than two months.

However, in 2022 covid-19 situation eased out and hotel stocks are booming again.

The biggest gainer of this unlocking theme was IHCL. In 2022, it delivered gains of 80%.

Taking benefit of the changed scenario, all the top companies have laid out their growth plans. Many speak of becoming debt free by 2025 and also add a lot of rooms.

It remains to be seen how the above developments pan out.

Moving on to the news from agriculture sector, an individual offloaded a big chunk of shares of Best Agrolife.

Raj Kumar on Tuesday sold 3.3% stake in Best Agrolife for over Rs 980 m through open market transactions.

Quant Mutual Fund picked up 5 lakh shares of the company on both NSE and BSE. Other buyers were not identified.

As of June quarter, Raj Kumar held a 16.6% stake in the company, shareholding data with the bourses showed.

Looks like Best Agrolife investors are rolling in money because the share price saw a sharp jump earlier this month too when ace investor Ashish Kacholia bought stock in this small-cap agrochemical stock.

Further in news from the auto sector, Hero MotoCorp takes a step further into the electric vehicle (EV) sector.

The two companies will first establish charging infrastructure at HPCL's existing network of nationwide energy stations, with the likelihood of subsequently broadening the collaboration for supplementary business opportunities.

In the first phase, charging stations will be set up in select cities, which will then be expanded to other key markets with the aim of establishing a high density of EV charging station network across the country.

Hero MotoCorp will lead the infrastructure development for the charging network. Each charging station will feature multiple smart and fast chargers, including DC and AC chargers that will be available to all two-wheeled EVs.

The entire user charging experience will be controlled by a Hero MotoCorp Mobile-App, based on a cashless transaction model, it said.
