INDIA NEWS | Mon, 5 Oct 2026, 6:03AM IST Mumbai: The Indian stock market's latest selloff is increasingly becoming a large-cap story, with 84% of Nifty 50 stocks now trading below their 200-day moving averages (DMAs), while smaller stocks have shown greater resilience.In the Nifty 50, 42 of the 50 stocks are below their 200-DMA. In the Nifty 500, 310 stocks, or 65%, are below the level, compared with 452 stocks, or 45%, in the broader BSE 1000.The 200-day moving average (200-DMA), calculated from the average closing price over the past 200 trading sessions, is widely regarded as a key indicator of the long term trend of an index or a stock. When a stock trades above it, the trend is considered positive, while when it falls below, it shows weakness.134683291"The divergence reflects the performance of different market segments over the past six months, with small- and micro-cap stocks seeing strong outperformance and mid caps also performing better than the Nifty," said Rohit Srivastava, founder of Indiacharts.Read more: Will Nifty, Sensex plunge for 9th straight week? TCS Q2, RBI MPC among 4 factors to drive Dalal Street from MondayThe pressure is visible among blue-chip stocks. Tata Motors PV, Maruti Suzuki and Infosys are trading nearly 19% below their respective 200-DMA levels, while TCS is down around 18%. HUL, ITC and Jio Financial are each around 17% below their 200-DMA, while RIL, HDFC Life, Tata Consumer, ONGC, M&M and HDFC Bank are around 14% below the level.Some of the weakness has spilled over into mid caps too but not as much in small- and micro-cap stocks, suggesting that selling remains concentrated in large caps. Within the Nifty 500, 190-odd stocks are trading above their 200-DMA. Of these, 52 are 1-5% above the level, 28 are 5-10% above, 65 are 10-20% above, 21 are 20-30% above and 15 are more than 30% above their 200-DMA.Read more: After Niftys longest losing streak in 25 years, what should investors do now?The BSE 1000 presents a broader picture, with 542 stocks still trading above their 200-DMA. Of these, 97 are within 1-5% of the level, 114 are 5-10% away, 188 are 10-20% away, 100 are 20-30% away and 43 are more than 30% above their 200-DMA."The correction is not impacting all segments equally, with large caps currently showing greater deterioration while parts of the mid- and smallcap space are holding their long-term trend better," said Hitesh Tailor, technical research analyst at Choice Broking."The gap between Nifty 500 and BSE 1000 breadth points to market dispersion rather than uniform weakness," said Tailor.OversoldWhile a decline below 200 DMA points to a weak undertone, extreme readings are considered contrarian indicators.Analysts said the extent of fall in blue-chips is suggesting the selling is overdone. "The drop in Nifty is showing it is oversold as it was in March of 2020 or even in March of 2026 this year," said Srivastava. "Such extreme readings in the Nifty have historically been associated with market bottoms."Mid- and small-cap stocks are not yet there. "A similar condition across the Nifty 500 would point to broader market capitulation. But we have not seen capitulation across the board as of now," he said.Mehul Kothari, vice-president, Technical & Derivative Research, Anand Rathi Share and Stock Broker, said the next signal would come from whether breadth starts confirming the support visible in the indices."If Nifty 500 sustains its long-term trendline support and the percentage of stocks below their 200-DMA starts declining, it would indicate improving participation and potential stabilisation," he said.Conversely, if more stocks currently within 1-10% of their 200-DMA start slipping into the 10-30% zone, it would suggest that the correction is broadening."

INDIA NEWS | Mon, 5 Oct 2026, 12:39AM IST India's ambition to become a Viksit Bharat requires an economy in which enterprises of every size can grow, wherever they begin. Over the past 12 years, our government has worked to create those conditions. GST's introduction in 2017 established a common national framework for indirect taxation. Next-gen GST carries that effort forward, drawing on nine years of implementation and the experience of taxpayers and states.Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision, next-gen GST was conceived with two connected purposes: to reduce and rationalise rates, and to make compliance easier. The rate changes took effect on September 22, 2025. The next phase of process reforms will come before the GST Council shortly. Together, these efforts seek to give households relief, businesses greater certainty and taxpayers a system in which they can fulfil their obligations without avoidable difficulty.Also Read: GST 2.0 may scrap arrest powers, raise prosecution barStates have been partners throughout. They brought their priorities and experience to the council, helped shape the decisions and undertook their implementation. I thank them for that commitment.The results provide grounds for confidence. Between October 2025 and July 2026, the value of reported taxable supplies grew 25.8% over the corresponding period a year earlier. A lighter rate structure has been accompanied by a substantial expansion in reported economic activity. This is an encouraging foundation for a reform intended to support both enterprise and public finances.Also Read: India within reach of 8% growth, says Ex-RBI guvThat resilience is visible in the latest revenue figures. Gross GST collections reached 12.46 lakh crore during April-September 2026, up 11.6% from a year earlier. Every month from June through September recorded double-digit annual growth; together, collections for these four months accelerated by nearly 15%. Net collections, after refunds, grew 10.4% over the half-year. Taxpayer relief has coexisted with growth in the resources available for development.The breadth of the expansion matters as much as its scale. Reported taxable supplies grew across all 11 sector groups and all major states. Growth across sectors and regions creates opportunities for more businesses to participate in expanding markets, and for more communities to benefit from the demand, investment and employment that follow.Reported sales to consumers (B2C) rose 26.7% in the post-reform comparison. When tax relief is reflected in prices, families have more room to meet other needs or save. Consumer relief and enterprise growth are closely connected: the purchasing power of households sustains demand for the goods and services that businesses provide. The benefits can extend from the household to the retailer, the supplier and the producer.For small and medium enterprises, a national market is valuable when it opens a practical route to customers beyond their immediate surroundings. Businesses in tier-2 and tier-3 towns should be able to build those relationships while continuing to invest and employ people locally. Enterprises expanding into these towns, in turn, can create opportunities for local suppliers and distributors. GST's common framework supports these connections; simpler administration must make them easier to sustain.Participation in that framework is substantial. GST registrations across central and state jurisdictions were about 17.1 million at the end of August, up nearly 15% from a year earlier. For the April-July 2026 tax periods, GSTR-3B returns filed by their due dates were 12.6% higher. These improvements place a corresponding responsibility on the administration: regular compliance must be supported by reliable service, clear guidance and timely resolution of difficulties.The functioning of input tax credit is another important part of this experience. The post-reform figures show that the share of tax liability discharged through credits rose, while accumulated credit declined relative to taxable supplies.This is encouraging for businesses that depend on the effective use of eligible credit. For a smaller firm, working capital determines how readily it can purchase inputs, fulfil an order and take on the next one. Refunds are equally relevant. About 1.80 lakh crore was refunded during April-September. Returning amounts due to businesses is part of a well-functioning tax system. Greater predictability in this process would help enterprises plan purchases and production with more confidence.(The writer is the union minister of finance and corporate affairs.)

INDIA NEWS | Mon, 5 Oct 2026, 12:16AM IST Mumbai: Reliance Retail and 7-Eleven are ending their five-year franchisee deal in India, closing most of the nearly 60 convenience stores they operated under the partnership, after struggling to make the format profitable, people familiar with the matter said.A handful of outlets are clearing the inventory before shutting, they said. 7-Eleven may look for another Indian partner to keep a foothold in the market, although no decision has been made, the people said.The exit highlights an unusual squeeze that convenience stores are facing in India, with millions of small kirana stores that have long served consumers' immediate needs on one side and quick-commerce companies that are bringing the same snacks, groceries and daily essentials to doorsteps within minutes on the other.134679627Reliance and 7-Eleven did not respond to ET's queries.The partnership, struck in 2021, was intended to bring the world's largest convenience-store chain to India through Reliance's retail network. But the business struggled to achieve the scale needed to offset the relatively high costs of running branded stores.The 7-India Convenience Retail venture reported revenue of about 92 crore ($10.6 million) and a net loss of nearly 90 crore in the year ended March 2026, according to its financial statements."Reliance wants to reach consumers across every channel, but sustainability ultimately matters. Convenience stores have faced increasing pressure from quick commerce since the pandemic, with both formats offering similar assortments and serving the same immediate-needs occasions," said Devangshu Dutta, founder and CEO of Third Eyesight, a consumer-sector consultancy."Kiranas operate with far lower overheads and different margin expectations than corporate-run convenience stores. Reliance's exit could therefore signal a broader rethink of the format, particularly in markets where quick commerce has become a strong alternative."Globally convenience stores have become powerful retail businesses in several markets despite the expansion of supermarkets and hypermarkets. 7-Eleven in Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and Singapore; Lawson in Japan and Oxxo in Mexico are among the largest retailers in their respective markets.7-Eleven's Japanese parent, Seven & i Holdings, operates more than 85,000 stores globally, making it one of the world's largest retail networks. Yet the company has been restructuring its overseas operations and closing stores in North America as consumer behaviour and store economics change.In India, however, organised convenience retail has struggled to replicate the success seen in other Asian and emerging markets. EasyDay, More and Spencer's have either shut stores or shrank their smaller-format networks over the years, underscoring the difficulty of building profitable neighbourhood stores at scale.Packaged consumer goods companies continue to derive roughly three-fourths of their sales from small neighbourhood stores, underlining the strength of the traditional distribution network. Quick commerce platforms are, meanwhile, expanding rapidly.That makes it difficult for organised convenience stores to charge a premium or generate sufficient sales density to cover higher rents, staffing, inventory and logistics costs.Convenience retail works best when operators achieve high store density and productivity, supported by strong supply chains and differentiated offerings such as fresh food and private labels.Reliance initially expanded the 7-Eleven network in Mumbai and other markets, but the footprint remained small compared with the company's wider retail operations.

INDIA NEWS | Sun, 4 Oct 2026, 11:49PM IST The GST Council is likely to consider sweeping process reforms on Wednesday to make tax compliance easier for businesses, including allowing small e-commerce sellers to use platform warehouses for GST registration, protecting genuine buyers' input tax credit and reducing low-value litigation, sources said. The proposals, part of the GST 2.0 process reforms, seek to simplify registration and return filing, make goods movement more predictable and reduce disputes between taxpayers and the tax department. One of the proposals seeks to allow small sellers using e-commerce platforms to treat the platform's warehouse as their registered place of business in states where they do not have their own premises. A seller would need a genuine presence in one state, where physical verification and Aadhaar authentication would be completed, and registrations in other states could be obtained with the consent of the e-commerce platform without further tax-officer involvement. The move could enable

INDIA BUSINESS | Sun, 4 Oct 2026, 11:10PM IST The International Monetary Fund has said the US Federal Reserve's decision to hike interest rates would contribute to tighter global financial conditions and suggested that India allow the exchange rate to act as a shock absorber. An IMF spokesperson on Friday said rate hikes by the Federal Reserve have historically created some pressure for emerging markets through capital flows, financing conditions, and exchange rate movements. On September 17, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time since July 2023 and indicated another hike could follow, as part of its effort to combat inflation. The spokesperson said that, as with other countries, the impact on India would depend on the magnitude, pace, and persistence of the tightening cycle, as well as domestic economic conditions. "However, India enters this period from a position of strength. Strong growth momentum, a credible inflation-targeting framework, ample external buffers, and healthy corporate and financial .
