 Sensex Trades Marginally Higher, Nifty Above 17,400; M&M and IndusInd Bank Top Gainers


Asian share markets are mixed today, trading within a narrow range, after another forecast-beating US jobs report boosted expectations that the Federal Reserve will press on with its sharp pace of interest rate hikes to fight inflation.

The Nikkei rose by 0.1%, while the Hang Seng was down by 1%. The Shanghai Composite is trading lower by 0.1%.

Wall Street indices ended mostly lower on Friday, weighed down by Tesla and other technology-related stocks after a solid jobs report torpedoed recent optimism that the Federal Reserve might let up its aggressive campaign to reign in decades-high inflation.

The Dow Jones fell by 0.2% while the tech heavy Nasdaq rose 0.5%

Back home, Indian share markets are trading on a positive note.

Further, in news from the auto sector, Tata Motors' subsidiary inked a pact.

On Sunday, Tata Motors said its subsidiary has inked a pact to acquire Ford India's Sanand-based manufacturing plant for Rs 71,257 m.

Tata Passenger Electric Mobility (TPEML), a subsidiary of Tata Motors and Ford India (FIPL), have signed a Unit Transfer Agreement (UTA) for the acquisition of the Gujarat-based plant.

As part of the deal, Tata Motors will get entire land and buildings, vehicle manufacturing plant along with machinery and equipment situated therein. The deal also includes transfer of all eligible employees.

FIPL will continue to operate its power train manufacturing facility by leasing back the land and buildings of the power train manufacturing plant from TPEML on mutually agreed terms.

TPEML has agreed to offer employment to eligible employees of the plant in the event of FIPL's cessation of such operations, it added.

The government of Gujarat, TPEML and FIPL have already executed a tripartite MoU on 30 May 2022 to support all relevant approvals for the above transaction.

With its manufacturing capacity nearing saturation, the acquisition is timely and a win-win for all stakeholders.

The Sanand plant has a manufacturing capacity of 3 lakh units per annum which is scalable to 4.2 lakh units per annum.
