Several companies have been making headlines recently due to significant developments. Jio Financial Services, Swiggy, Aptus Value Housing, Coal India, and Maruti Suzuki are among those capturing investor attention.

Jio Financial Services (JFSL)

Jio Financial Services is poised for expansion, fueled by a recent infusion of ₹3,956 crore from promoter group companies. These funds were allocated through the allotment of 50 crore warrants, with Sikka Ports & Terminals Ltd and Jamnagar Utilities & Power Private Ltd each receiving 25 crore warrants at ₹316.50 per unit. This move follows the JFSL board's approval in July for a ₹15,825 crore fund infusion via preferential issue of convertible warrants to promoter group members. After this infusion, the promoter stake in JFSL is expected to increase from 47.12% to over 54%. JFSL is strategically deploying this capital for investments in its insurance and lending ventures. In the June 2025 quarter, JFSL's consolidated income rose 48% year-on-year to ₹619 crore, with net profit holding steady at ₹325 crore. The lending arm has significantly expanded its assets under management (AUM) to ₹11,665 crore. Jio Payments Bank has also seen substantial growth, tripling its deposits to ₹358 crore and its customer base to 2.6 million.

Swiggy

Swiggy, the food delivery giant, has once again increased its platform fee, now reaching ₹15 in select markets experiencing high demand. This is the third hike in as many weeks, after briefly raising the fee to ₹14 around August 15. Zomato has also raised its platform fee to ₹12. Swiggy's platform fee was initially introduced in April 2023 at ₹2 per order. While the levy is small compared to the average order value, it helps in improving overall margins. Swiggy's net loss for the April–June quarter doubled year-on-year to ₹1,197 crore due to higher investments in its quick-commerce arm, Instamart. However, operating revenue during the quarter rose 54% to ₹4,961 crore. With Swiggy processing over 2 million daily orders, this fee increase could generate an additional ₹60 lakh every day.

Aptus Value Housing

Aptus Value Housing Finance is facing a potential exit by promoter Westbridge Crossover Fund through a ₹2,600-crore deal in the open market. Westbridge Crossover Fund will sell 8.23 crore shares, representing a 16.5% stake, with the offer price set at ₹316 per share, a 5% discount to the current market price. As of June 2025, Westbridge Crossover Fund held a 16.19% stake in the company. Aptus Value Housing Finance India expects a 20–22% growth in lending in the near term and around 29% year-on-year growth over the next two to three years. Aptus Value Housing Finance reported a 27% year-on-year rise in net profit to ₹219 crore for the quarter ended June 2025.

Coal India

Coal India is making strides in renewable energy, seeking bids to build 5 gigawatts of renewable projects. This includes 3 gigawatts of solar and 2 gigawatts of wind projects. The company aims to install 9.5 gigawatts of capacity by March 2030. This diversification comes as Coal India faces concerns over long-term coal demand and increased competition from renewable sources. In August, Coal India's production rose by 9.3% to 50.4 million tonnes, and supplies increased by 7.6% to 56.7 million tonnes. However, for the April-August period, Coal India's production was down 3.5% to 290.4 million tonnes, and supplies were down 3.3% to 312.1 million tonnes.

Maruti Suzuki

Maruti Suzuki has launched the all-new Victoris, a mid-size SUV positioned above the Brezza and Grand Vitara. Bookings have commenced with an initial payment of ₹11,000. The Victoris boasts features such as Level 2 ADAS, a 5-star BNCAP rating, six airbags as standard, and a Dolby Atmos surround sound system. It will be available in ten colors. Maruti Suzuki has invested around Rs 1,240 crore in the development of the Victoris. The company has also commenced shipment of its battery electric vehicle e-Vitara to Europe, with over 2,900 units dispatched in the past month. Maruti Suzuki's overall exports in August surged 40% to 36,538 units. However, the automaker experienced a 6% year-on-year decrease in car production in August, adjusting to market demand.
