HAL Inks New Deal

Shares of Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. will be in focus on Friday, 13 December, after the company won an order from the defence ministry on Thursday.

The Ministry of Defence has signed a contract with Hindustan Aeronautics for the procurement of 12 Su-30MKI aircraft. The deal is also for the procurement of associated equipment. The total value of the order is worth Rs 135 bn, inclusive of taxes.

These aircraft will have 62.6% indigenous content, enhanced due to the indigenisation of many components which will be manufactured by the Indian defence industry, the statement said.

All the aircraft will be manufactured at Hindustan Aeronautics' Nashik facility.

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), one of India's premier public sector undertakings (PSUs), stands on the verge of being elevated to the "Maharatna" status.

Tata Motors to Hike Commercial Vehicle Prices

Tata Motors, India's leading commercial vehicle manufacturer, has announced a price hike of up to 2% across its entire range of trucks and buses. The increase will take effect from 1 January 2025.

This decision comes in response to the persistent rise in input costs, which has been impacting the automobile industry.

The company aims to offset these increased costs through the price adjustment. While the exact price increase will vary based on the specific model and variant, it will be applicable to all commercial vehicles offered by Tata Motors.

Earlier, Tata Motors announced that a price hike of 3% will also be implemented across its passenger vehicle portfolio, which will include electric vehicles (EVs). The price increase of 3%, effective January 2025, will vary by model and variant.

Earlier, Hyundai Motor India, Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL), Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), and JSW MG Motor also decided to jack up prices across their model range in a bid to pass on some input cost pressure to consumers.

In the luxury car market, players such as Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW have announced a price hike of 3% on their entire model ranges, which will also be effective from 1 January 2025.

Zomato Gets GST Demand

The order passed on 12 November 2024, also includes a penalty of the same amount, totalling Rs 8 bn in demand, along with applicable interest.

The demand pertains to alleged non-payment of GST on delivery charges.

Despite the order, Zomato remains confident about the strength of its case and intends to challenge the decision.
