Paytm Shares Surge Nearly 6% After NPCI Approves Onboarding of New UPI Users

After the National Payments Corporation of India NPCI authorised the business to onboard new customers for digital payments via UPI, reducing a significant regulatory burden, shares of the Indian fintech company Paytm PAYT.NS surged by about 6% on Wednesday. Users of UPI, a popular realtime payment system, may send money without sharing their bank information. The permission came after the Reserve Bank of India RBI ordered the winding down of Paytms banking arm in January, and the companys secondquarter statistics revealed a drop in its user base due to regulatory issues. According to analysts, this action lowers regulatory concerns and might aid Paytm in regaining its customer base. However, a crucial obstacle still stands as the business needs RBI permission for payment aggregation. Read More..

President Vladimir Putin stressed at the BRICS business conference that the BRICS group is expected to propel significant global economic growth in the future years due to its size and rapid expansion.

In contrast to the ₹1,960 offer price, Hyundai Motor Indias shares fell 5% on their market debut, listing at ₹1,934. Retail investors hesitated because of price worries, fearing limited profits, even though the record ₹27,000 crore $3.3 billion IPO was oversubscribed more than twice. Targeting a $19 billion value, Hyundai, the secondlargest carmaker in India with a 15% market share, saw its market capitalisation close at about ₹1.51 trillion $17.96 billion.

Nigeria Blocks Shells $2.4 Billion Oil Sale to Renaissance Consortium, Approves Exxons Deal with Seplat

Although Nigeria approved Exxon Mobils identical deal with Seplat Energy, it vetoed Shells proposed $2.4 billion sale of all its onshore and shallowwater oil businesses to the Renaissance group. Without providing more information, Gbenga Komolafe, the CEO of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission NUPRC, said that Shells acquisition "could not scale the regulatory test." Shell is disappointed by this decision since it wants to concentrate on deepwater investments in the face of growing problems in Nigeria, such as theft and sabotage in onshore operations. Security concerns have caused oil majors to pull out of Nigerias onshore sector. Exxons transaction, pending clearance for more than two years, permits Seplat to acquire large shares in infrastructure and oil leases. Read More..
