Suzlon Energy's Q2 profit drops 69 pc to Rs 394 crore
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 29 (IANS) Suzlon Energy on Thursday reported a 69 per cent year-on-year (YoY) decline in its consolidated net profit to Rs 394 crore for the second quarter of FY27, compared to Rs 1,279 crore in the corresponding quarter last financial year (Q2 FY26). Revenue from operations rose 26 per cent to Rs 4,875 crore during the July-September quarter from Rs 3,871 crore a year earlier, driven by higher project execution and commissioning activities. At the operating level, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) stood at Rs 719 crore, marginally lower than Rs 721 crore reported in the year-ago period. The EBITDA margin contracted to 14.7 per cent from 18.6 per cent in the corresponding quarter last fiscal. The company said its net worth has crossed Rs 10,000 crore, while its order book remained above 6 GW. Suzlon also recorded more than 1.5 GW of order intake during the first half of FY27, supported by strong demand across customer segments. Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) projects accounted for 38 per cent of the company's order book, up from 22 per cent in Q1 FY26, aligning with its strategy to raise the EPC contribution to 50 per cent by FY28. Public sector undertakings and commercial and industrial customers contributed 78 per cent of the total order book. Suzlon commissioned 723 MW during the first half of FY27, reflecting strong execution momentum. The deliveries included projects for Juniper Green Energy, Aditya Birla Renewables Limited, Zelestra and Brookfield Yanara. Rahul Jain, Chief Financial Officer of Suzlon Group, said the company delivered 26 per cent year-on-year revenue growth despite commodity price and currency volatility, supported by disciplined execution and operating leverage. He added that Suzlon continues to strengthen its manufacturing and execution capabilities while maintaining focus on margins, cash flows and capital allocation. Jain noted that the second quarter of FY26 had included a deferred tax asset creation of Rs 891 crore, and excluding that one-time impact, the company's underlying profitability showed a stronger year-on-year improvement.
Pradeep Purnekar murder case: Aaditya Thackeray accuses Eknath Shinde of protecting conspirators
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 29 (IANS) Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray on Thursday alleged that Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is desperate to safeguard former Thane Mayor Meenakshi Shinde from the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Pradeep Purnekar murder case. The Sena (UBT) leaders alleged that the police have merely arrested the contract killers and that until Meenakshi and Rajendra Shinde are arrested, the true conspiracy will never come out. We demand that the main accused and conspirator should be arrested at the earliest. We have no idea why she is being protectedwhen we met the police commissioner, we sensed that the policemen are convinced about who the main accused is, said Thackeray, addressing a press conference in Thane. Thackeray, along with Purnekars son Ram, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut and Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders from Thane, held a press conference after holding a meeting with the Thane police commissioner. Earlier, Thackeray visited the house of Purnekar to meet the wife of the dead leader. Thackeray said that despite giving the evidence of CCTV footage, arrests have not been made. What and why are you waiting for? Thackeray asked. This is a political murder of which CCTV footage is available. Why are the main conspirator and masterminds not being arrested? Why is Eknath Shinde so desperate to safeguard the accused and conspirator? he asked. Thackeray criticised deputy CM and Thanes guardian minister Eknath Shinde for detaining Ram Purnekar, who had gone to meet the latter demanding action in his fathers murder. We had come to Thane only to meet the Purnekar family and the police commissioner. But the local MP used abusive language and made a childish attempt to threaten us. Instead of facing us, they (Shinde-led Sena leaders) protested somewhere else and did not face us, said Thackeray. He also slammed Chief Minister and Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis for failing to deliver justice to the Purnekar family. The Home Minister is busy breaking parties, cutting trees and selling Sahyadri mountain ranges instead of stopping all these things, he said. Targeting CM Fadnavis, Shiv Sena UBT MP Sanjay Raut said that Maharashtra never had such a weak home minister. I want to tell those who challenged us to come to Thane that we not only came here, but we are ready to wait till we face you. Dont boast because you are in power. It is not permanent. Meenakshi and Rajendra Shinde are the main accused in this case, and people are coming out of the streets to safeguard killers, he said, adding that police will have to arrest both of them.
Market leaders share their outlook for new Samvat at NDTV Profit Ignite event
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 29 (IANS) The NDTV Profit Ignite: Diwali Edition brought together a constellation of leading voices from capital markets, investing, business and policymaking in Mumbai, offering investors perspectives on navigating uncertainty and identifying opportunities in the new Samvat. The event opened with a ceremonial bell ringing by Ashish Kumar Chauhan, MD and CEO, NSE, and actress Tamannaah, setting the stage for conversations on markets, investing and wealth creation. The gathering featured SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey; Ashish kumar Chauhan; veteran investor Ramesh Damani; S. Naren of ICICI Prudential AMC; Motilal Oswal co-founder Raamdeo Agrawal; Sandeep Tandon, founder of quant Mutual Fund; investor Vijay Kedia; Harvard Business School Professor Ranjay Gulati; and actress and entrepreneur Tamannaah Bhatia. Attended by more than 150 industry leaders, policymakers and institutional investors, the event took place against a backdrop of an 11.8 per cent decline in the Nifty during the Samvat, global macroeconomic uncertainty and foreign capital outflows. Discussions examined the implications of the global artificial intelligence investment boom, weakness in the rupee and the outlook for corporate earnings, with speakers expressing cautious optimism about Indias long-term wealth creation potential, according to a statement. As more Indians participate in the countrys capital markets, the need for credible information and informed scrutiny becomes even greater. NDTV Profit Ignite brings our audience closer to the people shaping policy, building businesses and making investment decisions. Our purpose is to ask the questions that matter, examine the opportunities and risks, and help investors approach their financial future with greater clarity, said Rahul Kanwal, CEO and Editor-in-Chief, NDTV. Delivering the keynote address, Tuhin Kanta Pandey outlined a vision for deeper and more accessible capital markets. He highlighted the potential for approximately 2,000 companies to be prepared for listing, emphasising the importance of lowering compliance costs and simplifying foreign investor onboarding. Addressing the growth in retail participation, he underscored the need for investor protection, greater awareness of derivatives' trading risks and action against misleading financial influencers. Ashish Kumar Chauhan examined how the global AI investment cycle is influencing capital flows. He observed that while India may currently lack a prominent domestic AI investment narrative, its markets could benefit significantly if the global AI trade begins to unwind. Navigating the consolidation in Indian equities after the strong run from 2020 to 2024 emerged as a central theme. Ramesh Damani acknowledged the prospect of near-term volatility arising from US midterm elections and geopolitical developments while reinforcing his long-term conviction in India. Pointing to the Indian markets historical rise of approximately fivefold every decade, he reminded investors that returns do not follow a straight line and that periods of underperformance can precede stronger gains. S. Naren explored the case for contrarian investing, suggesting that investors could consider reducing exposure to the US AI theme and examining underperforming markets such as India. He identified financial services, insurance, FMCG, and IT as sectors presenting distinct contrarian opportunities. Raamdeo Agrawal placed corporate earnings at the centre of the investment outlook, emphasising that continued earnings growth would ultimately need to be reflected in market performance. His observations reinforced the importance of business fundamentals amid the wider macroeconomic debate. Sandeep Tandon suggested that the worst of the market correction could be behind investors. Both Tandon and Vijay Kedia, however, stressed the need for selectivity, cautioning that an improving broader outlook does not automatically make every stock an attractive investment. Tamanna Inamdar, Managing Editor, NDTV Profit, said, NDTV Profit Ignite Diwali Edition has become the marquee event of the season in just three years. This year, our conversations with market veterans, battle-hardened by boom-and-bust cycles, were even more relevant. As we enter the new Samvat, the message was clear: it is time to double down on the India story, even when the global outlook looks bleak. The programme also explored entrepreneurship through Tamannaah Bhatias journey with Tamannaah Fine Jewellery. In a conversation with Inamdar, she spoke about her business family background, her passion for jewellery and the gap she had identified in the market. Asked whether she saw herself as the venture's CEO, CFO or CMO, she described her role as that of a creative director, reflecting her close involvement in the design process. Ranjay Gulati brought a leadership perspective to the discussions, examining how individuals and organisations can prepare to act courageously in the face of disruption, including AI. Distinguishing measurable risk from uncertainty, he explored how people can equip themselves to take action despite fear.

Devoleena Bhattacharjee defends womens choice of keeping Karwa Chauth
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 29 (IANS) Actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee, who predominantly works in television, has shared her opinion on Karwa Chauth, and the people celebrating the occasion. On Thursday, the actress took to her X, formerly Twitter, and shared a long note in which she shared her perspective on the festival. She wrote, Happy Karwa Chauth to all the beautiful ladies celebrating today. Ive never kept a Karwa Chauth fast because, in Bengali and Assamese cultures, it isnt a tradition. We may not have every ritual, but we celebrate so many festivals with all our hearts. So why not Karwa Chauth? Honestly, I do feel like keeping it someday. But Im scared I wont be able to manage a whole day without water. I fast every Monday and sometimes on Ekadashi, but water fasting? Thats a different story! But thats not even the point. I genuinely feel that for many couples, this is a love language. Ive seen women celebrate it happily, and today, so many husbands fast alongside their wives. So why bring feminism, patriarchy and judgment into someone elses celebration? You dont believe in it? Dont celebrate it. She further mentioned that nobody is judging them but its not right to spoil someone elses happiness. She shared, Mothers fast for their children, for their families. So if someone wishes to fast for her husband one day, why should that be a problem? As long as its a personal choice and nobody is forced into it, let people celebrate love the way they want to. And a little personal note, Shaan comes from a Muslim family, yet every Karwa Chauth, he asks me, Tum rakhogi kya fast?. And every year, I say, with a heavy heart, Dekhte hain, next year. Im still breastfeeding, so hopefully next year! Because honestly, husbands deserve to feel special and loved too, dont they? We do intermittent fasting, try keto and follow all kinds of diets for ourselves. But when it comes to fasting for a husband, suddenly everything becomes about patriarchy and feminism? Ladies, thoda chill karo! Love is personal. Traditions are personal. Celebrations are personal. Let people choose what makes them happy. Happy Karwa Chauth to everyone celebrating! May your love always grow stronger, she added.

Janhvi Kapoor reveals why she is glad that her 'Peddi' portrayal become such a huge deal
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 29 (IANS) A massive discussion took place around the portrayal of actress Janhvi Kapoors character in the movie 'Peddi'. During her recent appearance on 'Koffee With Karan' with Varun Dhawan, she opened up about the criticism for objectifying her character in the sports drama. Instead of dismissing the criticism or avoiding the discussion, Janhvi chose to have a different perspective. She spoke about how the talk surrounding her character might now lead to greater sensitivity towards actresses who express discomfort with certain aspects of their portrayal. Im glad it became such a big deal, my portrayal in 'Peddi', so maybe next time an actress says shes uncomfortable, they wont look at her like an alien, shared Janhvi. Speaking on the subject, Jahnvi revealed that she was a little hesitant to address the issue as many people had worked hard on the project. I really didnt know what to say or if there was anything really to even say because its important that I take ownership from my half ofwhatever that fiasco was because it weighs heavily on my conscience the sort of negative impact and a narrative like that can have on our society, specific to my gender, the 'Dhadak' actress penned. Janhvi admitted to carrying the shame over the potential impact of this on society. She added that she realises that she could have been a bit more vigilant. Could have I done more? Could I have been more vigilant? Could I have made a bigger scene? A hundred percent, yes. Was it problematic? Was it extreme objectification? Did it even propagate sexual assault narratively? Yes, she said. The 'Mili' actress said she had repeatedly questioned herself if she should have objected more firmly during the shoot of the drama. Again, I dont like saying this because it sounds like I am shifting blame but you know how its like, Yes, whatever the director says, you have to be professional, you have to listen to the director. So, I was really navigating how to make things less problematic as best I thought, as and when information was becoming available to me, she said.

Since childhood, our Diwali celebrations would begin with us going to R.K. Studios, where we would perform Lakshmi Puja. Then we would go to meet my grandmother, Shri Krishna Kapoor. She would give us sweets and give me money, a lot of money). He further mentioned that after returning home, the family would perform Lakshmi Puja, while his father would step outside to light firecrackers.
