Several major Indian companies report their January-March 2026 quarter earnings on April 30, with results spanning financials, industrials, and consumer goods. Hindustan Unilever, Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Finance, IDBI Bank, Cholamandalam Investment, and IOB headline the financial sector slate, while Adani Ports, Mazagon Dock, Indus Towers, and Waaree Energies cover infrastructure and energy. Laurus Labs and Newgen Software round out the mix across pharma and technology. Investors will watch Hindustan Unilever for signs of urban demand recovery and margin trends in the FMCG sector. Bajaj Finance and Bajaj Finserv results carry weight for the broader NBFC and insurance space, where credit growth and asset quality are the key metrics. Adani Ports numbers will signal cargo volume trends and port-side capex momentum. Mazagon Dock, a defence shipyard, remains in focus given ongoing naval order flows. Waaree Energies, a solar manufacturer, will offer an early read on domestic renewable energy demand. KFin Technologies and Newgen Software are smaller-cap names that institutional investors track for IT services and fintech exposure. The batch collectively covers consumer spending, credit health, defence, renewables, and pharma, making April 30 one of the heavier earnings days of the Q4 season.
Indian startups raised $5.2 billion across 501 deals in H1 2026, down 9% in value but up 7% in deal count year-on-year, per the Inc42 Indian Tech Startup Funding Report. The drop is driven by fewer mega-rounds, while AI funding surged 317% and growth-stage deal activity hit a multi-year high.
The BSE Sensex fell 893 points and the Nifty 50 shed 279 points on June 30, 2026, wiping out roughly Rs 6 lakh crore in investor wealth in a single session. Both indices dropped 1.16%, closing at 76,200.68 and 23,824.10 respectively.
Kotak Mahindra Bank shares fell nearly 3% to Rs 397.6 after CEO Ashok Vaswani announced plans to exit the bank. Investor concern now centres on succession timing and whether the bank's ongoing digital and deposit-growth strategy will stay on track.
South Korea's Kospi dropped 3% at Monday's open while Japan's Nikkei fell 1%, as escalating US-Iran conflict triggered a broad risk-off move across Asian markets. South Korea's heavy reliance on Middle East oil imports makes it especially vulnerable to geopolitical shocks of this kind.
