IREDA to Raise Fund
Moving on to news from the finance sector, shares of Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) surged 4% to Rs 178 apiece on February 25 after the company received shareholder approval to raise Rs 50 bn through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP).
The proposal was approved at the company's 22nd Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), with all resolutions passed as special resolutions with the requisite majority, as stated in an exchange filing.
The fundraising will be conducted in one or multiple tranches and will result in up to a 7% dilution of the Government of India's shareholding post-issue.
Speaking at the EGM, Chairman and Managing Director Pradip Kumar Das highlighted that the capital raised through QIP would strengthen IREDA's green financing capabilities, support loan book expansion, and contribute to India's clean energy ambitions.

The Tata Capital board announced that the IPO will consist of a fresh issue of 230 m equity shares alongside an offer-for-sale by existing shareholders.
This marks the first IPO from the Tata Group since Tata Technologies' successful listing in November 2023. Tata Capital Financial Services, which merged with Tata Capital in January 2024, is among the entities included in regulatory filings.

Bharti Airtel Jumps 3%
Moving on to news from the telecom sector, Bharti Airtel, India's second-largest telecom provider, saw its shares rise nearly 3% in intraday trade on February 25, reaching Rs 1,643 apiece, following its partnership with Ericsson to accelerate 5G evolution.
The company announced its collaboration with Ericsson to deploy a secure and high-performance 5G Core network, benefiting millions of Airtel customers and enterprises across India. This partnership will enable Airtel to gradually transition to a fully operational, standalone 5G network, unlocking advanced capabilities for its users.
As part of the agreement, Ericsson will integrate its Signalling Controller solution into Airtel's network while also introducing its 5G Standalone-enabled Charging and Policy solution.
According to the filing, these new capabilities represent a strategic enhancement to Bharti Airtel's 5G monetization efforts, enabling the development of new business models.
On February 12, the company awarded a contract to Nokia and Qualcomm to expand 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) and Wi-Fi solutions across India.
