India, EU to Hold 10th Round of FTA Talks in Brussels from March 1014

The tenth round of Free Trade Agreement FTA negotiations between India and the EU will take place in Brussels from 10 March to 14 to resolve significant concerns and conclude the agreement before the end of the year. While tackling regulatory obstacles, discussions will centre on lowering tariffs on EU goods such as wine and cars. The possible threats of U.S. tariffs under Donald Trump have made the situation more urgent. The EUs Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, which may increase exporters costs, is one of Indias worries. In light of changing global dynamics, the EU, Indias biggest trading partner, views the FTA as essential for bolstering economic ties and broadening trade alliances. Both parties are still dedicated to overcoming obstacles and expanding their commerce with one another. Read More..

According to CEO Tony Fernandes, Malaysias Capital A, the parent company of AirAsia, has successfully finished a 1 billion ringgit $226 million private placement.

To unify operations under a single AirAsia brand, the restructuring involves selling its aviation division to AirAsia X. Two consecutive quarters of profitability are still necessary, as are approvals from shareholders and the court.

IndusInd Bank Shares Plunge 6% as RBI Cuts CEO’s Term to One Year

Concerns over leadership succession and business stability were raised when the RBI only granted CEO Sumant Kathpalia a oneyear extension rather than the boardapproved threeyear term, causing IndusInd Banks shares to drop nearly 6% to a 19month low. The Nifty 50 indexs largest loser was the stock. According to analysts, the RBIs decision might have been prompted by discontent with the banks performance in earlier circumstances, such as problems with its microfinance portfolio and an increase in nonperforming assets. Even while the consensus 12month objective is still at ₹1,210, indicating a possible 32.8% increase from current levels, at least six brokerages have cut their price forecasts. Read More..
