India Posts USD 45.4 Billion Balance of Payments Surplus in August on Record NRI Inflows and Resilient Services

Category: Markets

India's overall balance of payments (BoP) recorded a surplus of USD 45.4 billion in August, marking a dramatic rebound from a deficit of USD 5.6 billion logged in the same month last year, according to data released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

The surplus also accelerated from the USD 20.8 billion surplus reported in July, reflecting strong momentum in capital flows that overshadowed the prevailing shortfall in merchandise trade. Cumulatively, during the April–August period, India's overall balance of payments logged a surplus of USD 58 billion, up from a deficit of USD 0.8 billion during the corresponding period last fiscal year.

Capital Account Drives Massive Inflows

The sharp turnaround in India's external accounts was primarily propelled by the capital account, which registered net inflows of USD 50.6 billion, compared to just USD 0.5 billion a year ago.

Key Drivers of Capital Inflows:

• Banking Capital: Net banking capital recorded an inflow of USD 64.7 billion in August, reversing an outflow of USD 4.7 billion registered in August last year.

• NRI Deposits: Net non-resident Indian (NRI) deposits surged to USD 83 billion during the month, compared with USD 1 billion in the year-ago period, driven by central bank incentives and deposit schemes aimed at attracting foreign currency.

• Foreign Direct Investment: Net foreign direct investment (FDI) turned positive to USD 3.3 billion, recovering from a net outflow of USD 0.1 billion in the same month last year.

Narrowing Current Account Deficit

On the trade and current receipts front, India's current account deficit (CAD) narrowed to USD 5.2 billion in August from USD 6.1 billion a year earlier. A narrowing merchandise trade gap and steady gains in software and business services exports helped contain the deficit.

The net merchandise trade deficit contracted to USD 26.6 billion from USD 27.6 billion in August last year. Merchandise exports rose to USD 44.7 billion from USD 35.1 billion, while imports increased to USD 71.3 billion from USD 62.7 billion.

Meanwhile, the services trade surplus expanded to USD 16.5 billion in August from USD 15.6 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year. Services exports advanced to USD 35.5 billion from USD 31.2 billion, outpacing services imports, which stood at USD 18.9 billion. Net transfers, primarily comprising private remittances, rose to USD 12.8 billion....

Wipro Q2 Net Profit Slips 1.4% to ₹3,201 Crore as Large Deal Wins Plunge

Category: Markets

Bengaluru-based IT services major Wipro Ltd announced its financial results for the second quarter ended September 30 (Q2 FY27), posting a 1.4% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to ₹3,201 crore. Sequentially, net profit declined 4.5% from ₹3,352 crore posted in the preceding quarter.

Gross revenue from operations expanded 9.1% year-on-year and 1.1% quarter-on-quarter to ₹24,753 crore (₹24,752.7 crore). Both headline numbers trailed Bloomberg consensus estimates, which had projected a net profit of ₹3,310 crore and revenue of ₹24,773 crore.

Key Earnings Highlights

• Net Profit: Consolidated net profit attributable to equity holders stood at ₹3,201 crore (₹3,200.6 crore), down 1.4% YoY and 4.5% QoQ.

• Gross Revenue: Total revenue rose 9.1% YoY to ₹24,753 crore compared to ₹22,697.3 crore in Q2 FY26.

• IT Services Revenue: Revenue from IT services came in at $2,611.5 million, up 0.3% YoY but down 0.1% sequentially. In constant currency (CC) terms, segment revenue grew 0.6% YoY and remained flat QoQ.

• Operating Margin: IT services operating margin expanded 50 basis points sequentially to 16.5%, though it remained short of the management's target band of 17% to 18%.

• Cash Flow: Operating cash flows stood at ₹5,300 crore, jumping 61.3% QoQ and reaching 165.8% of quarterly net profit.

Sharp Decline in Deal Bookings and Tepid Guidance

Deal momentum softened considerably during the quarter. Total bookings fell to $2.595 billion, down 22.9% sequentially in constant currency terms. Large deal bookings—contracts valued at $30 million and above—plunged 58.6% quarter-on-quarter in constant currency to $674 million.

Reflecting sluggish demand conversion, the company projected muted near-term performance. Wipro guided for Q3 FY27 IT services revenue in the range of $2,571 million to $2,625 million, representing sequential constant-currency growth between -1.5% and +0.5%.

Segment Trends and Management Commentary

Sectoral performance showed divergence across key verticals. Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) supported the top line with a 1.3% sequential rise, while the European geography reported constant-currency growth of 5.1% year-on-year. However, weakness in US clients weighed heavily on the Health business (down 6.5%) and Energy, Natural Resources & Utilities (down 6.6%).

“Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, our business remains resilient. Artificial intelligence (AI) will accelerate new growth avenues, and push demand for higher value transformation. Signs of that are already evident in the momentum that we are seeing in our AI-led series,” said Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Srini Pallia....

India Current Account Deficit Narrows to $5.2 Billion in August as Services Exports and Remittances Surge

Category: Markets

India’s external sector demonstrated resilience as the country’s current account deficit (CAD) narrowed to $5.2 billion in August from $6.1 billion in the corresponding month of the previous year. According to preliminary data on the developments in India’s balance of payments released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the moderation was largely propelled by an improved trade balance, higher services receipts, and buoyant remittances.

The performance of the current account, paired with robust capital flows, generated an overall Balance of Payments (BoP) surplus of $45.4 billion for August, staging a sharp turnaround from a deficit of $5.6 billion registered during the same period last year.

Merchandise and Services Trade Dynamics

The narrowing CAD was underpinned by an uptick in export momentum alongside steady gains in invisible earnings:

• Merchandise Trade Deficit: The deficit in merchandise trade contracted to $26.6 billion in August, down from $27.6 billion a year earlier.

• Merchandise Trade Flows: Outbound shipments rose to $44.7 billion compared to $35.1 billion in August of the previous year. Inbound shipments increased to $71.3 billion from $62.7 billion over the same period.

• Services Surplus: The net surplus in services trade widened to $16.5 billion in August from $15.6 billion a year ago. Services exports expanded to $35.5 billion from $31.2 billion, outpacing services imports which stood at $18.9 billion.

• Secondary and Primary Income: Net transfers—chiefly representing remittances from overseas Indian workers—climbed to $12.8 billion from $12.2 billion. However, the net deficit in the primary income account widened to $8.0 billion from $6.3 billion.

Cumulative Performance in April–August

Despite the monthly improvement seen in August, cumulative figures for the ongoing fiscal year highlight ongoing external pressures. During the April–August period, India's cumulative current account deficit widened to $18.3 billion, compared to $12.8 billion recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year. Cumulative merchandise exports stood at $219.9 billion while imports reached $366.0 billion, buffered by a net services trade surplus of $85.8 billion and net remittances of $66.8 billion.

Nevertheless, the April–August overall BoP remained comfortably in surplus at $58.0 billion, providing substantial support to foreign exchange reserves.

Capital Inflows Cushion External Headwinds

The turnaround in India’s overall balance of payments position was driven by a heavy influx into the capital account, which posted net inflows of $50.6 billion in August, up from $0.5 billion a year earlier.

Key Drivers of Capital Flows:...

DIIs Cushion ₹5,285-Crore FII Sell-Off as Sensex Surges 1,534 Points and Nifty Nears 23,000

Category: FII/DII Data

Market Snapshot

Dalal Street witnessed a sharp large-cap driven rebound on Thursday, October 15, 2026, defying weak regional sentiment across Asia. The 30-share BSE Sensex rallied 1,533.72 points, or 2.11%, to close near the day's peak at 74,315.61. Similarly, the NSE Nifty 50 gained 374.65 points, or 1.66%, to settle just shy of the psychological milestone at 22,997.35.

Key benchmark drivers and sectoral highlights included:

• Top Gainers: Tech Mahindra (+4.61%), ICICI Bank (+4.17%), Reliance Industries (+4%), Bharti Airtel (+2.94%), and TCS (+2.28%) spearheaded the frontline rally.

• Sector Performance: Nifty Private Bank (+1.89%), Nifty IT (+1.82%), and Nifty Auto (+1.67%) led the sectoral advance, while Nifty PSU Bank (-1.55%) and Nifty Media (-1.47%) faced selective profit booking.

• Market Breadth: The headline advance showed divergence from the broader market; the BSE MidCap Select index slipped 0.40% and the SmallCap Select index tumbled 1.52%, indicating heavy concentration of buying within large-cap counters.

Institutional Flows: Cash Market

Provisional institutional trading figures for October 15, 2026, highlighted persistent divergence between foreign capital outflows and steady domestic support:

• Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs): Gross purchases stood at ₹12,735.59 crore against gross sales of ₹18,020.96 crore, resulting in a net cash market outflow of ₹5,285.37 crore.

• Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs): Gross purchases reached ₹19,438.65 crore against gross sales of ₹16,119.26 crore, resulting in a net cash market inflow of ₹3,319.39 crore.

While DIIs continued to provide counterbalancing liquidity, cumulative institutional net flow for the session closed at -₹1,965.98 crore, underscoring that global funds used the sharp intraday surge to liquidate positions into strength.

Derivatives Market Activity

Derivatives positioning revealed a critical reassessment of key technical boundaries as the Nifty reclaimed the 22,900 mark:

• Support and Resistance: Technical setup analysts noted immediate resistance for Nifty 50 clustered between 23,050 and 23,150, with key support shifting upward to 22,900–22,950, followed by 22,750. For Sensex, immediate hurdles are seen at 74,600–74,900, with support pegged at 74,100–73,900.

• F&O Positioning: Derivatives data reflected continued hedging and short exposure by foreign desks across index derivatives, contrasting with aggressive domestic short-covering in IT and large-cap private lenders.

Key Drivers and Outlook

A confluence of global macroeconomic relief and corporate developments spurred the day's sharp reversal:

• Easing Commodity Pressures: A drop of over 2% in Brent crude oil prices eased imported inflation and margin concerns for corporate India....

SEBI Overhauls Market Timings and Derivatives Settlement Rules Effective December 7, 2026

Category: Markets

Capital markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has released a comprehensive overhaul of trading timings, the Closing Auction Session (CAS) framework, and expiry-day derivatives settlement mechanisms across Indian bourses.

The revised framework resolves weeks of industry deliberation following a consultation paper issued in September that drew over 20,000 public comments. The core provisions will come into force on December 7, 2026, while the rules governing the rollover of iceberg orders will take effect on February 8, 2027.

Restructured Closing Auction Window

Under the revised structure, continuous trading in the cash equity segment will run until 3:30 PM, after which the dedicated 10-minute Closing Auction Session will operate from 3:30 PM to 3:40 PM across all trading days.

Phases of the Closing Auction Session:

• 3:30 PM – 3:31 PM: A one-minute buffer allocated for calculating reference prices and transitioning orders from continuous trading.

• 3:31 PM – 3:36 PM: A five-minute order-entry window permitting both limit and market orders.

• 3:36 PM – 3:38/3:40 PM: A final phase where only limit orders are accepted, while market orders cannot be cancelled or modified. The session will close at a random timestamp during the last two minutes to discourage algorithmic gaming and last-second order spoofing.

The cash market post-close trading session will run between 3:50 PM and 4:00 PM, allowing participants to execute trades at the day's established closing price.

Extended Hours for Derivatives Trading

To ensure seamless risk mitigation and allow domestic institutional and retail traders to hedge against closing auction price discovery, SEBI has extended trading hours for futures and options (F&O):

Derivatives Operational Timings:

• Index Derivatives: Normal trading will continue until 3:45 PM on regular days. However, on contract expiry days, expiring index contracts will cease trading at 3:30 PM.

• Stock Derivatives: Trading will remain open until 3:45 PM on all trading days, including contract expiry days.

Retention of 30-Minute VWAP for Settlement

Addressing widespread concerns from brokers and proprietary trading desks over an earlier proposal for a blended auction-cash settlement price, SEBI opted to retain the traditional 30-minute Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) calculation....

Pre-Market Report: Firm Start Expected as GIFT Nifty Crosses 23,070 Mark

Category: Markets

Global Market Cues

Overnight moves across major global markets reflect an overall stable-to-positive risk appetite. Wall Street concluded on a strong note, buoyed by resilience in mega-cap technology names and investor optimism heading into the core corporate earnings cycle.

In Asian trade this morning, sentiment remained mixed to positive. Regional markets absorbed overnight gains from US indices, though gains in select Asian bourses were partially capped by profit-taking and caution surrounding geopolitical developments. In commodities, crude oil prices remain elevated, demanding caution from domestic oil marketing companies and import-reliant sectors.

GIFT Nifty and Domestic Cues

Early morning indicators from the NSE International Exchange (NSE IX) in GIFT City point to positive follow-through momentum for the domestic market:

• GIFT Nifty Level: GIFT Nifty traded at 23,073.50, up approximately 76 points (+0.33%) against the previous Nifty 50 cash market close.

• Previous Session Close: On Thursday, October 15, Indian equities recorded massive gains, with the Nifty 50 surging 374.65 points (+1.66%) to settle at 22,997.35, while the BSE Sensex jumped 1,533.72 points (+2.11%) to close at 74,315.61. Bank Nifty similarly advanced to close at 55,810.50.

• Technical Levels: Nifty faces immediate resistance around the 23,076–23,150 zone. A sustained trade above this band could extend the rally toward 23,300. On the downside, immediate support is pegged at 22,850, followed by strong structural support at 22,700.

Key Stocks in Focus

• Tech Mahindra: The IT major is in the spotlight after reporting a solid Q2 profit beat alongside the announcement of a 1:1 bonus issue.

• IIFL Finance: Shares will react favorably to strong quarterly performance after reporting a 93% year-on-year jump in consolidated net profit to ₹766 crore.

• Angel One: The retail brokerage posted an impressive 58% year-on-year surge in quarterly net profit, backed by elevated retail trading volumes.

• Jio Financial Services: Remains in focus as the market digests its quarterly results, which saw pressure on bottom-line numbers due to rising operational and expansion costs.

• Banking and NBFC Heavyweights: Public and private lenders will remain active following recent updates regarding foreign exchange derivative risk reserves and key earnings releases.

Key Events to Watch Today

• Q2 FY27 Earnings: Second-quarter corporate earnings announcements will dictate sector-specific trends, with major firms including DLF, LTIMindtree, and Punjab National Bank (PNB) set to announce or react to their performance figures....
