Rupee Inches Up on Modest Inflows and Trade Optimism

The Indian rupee inched up on November 11, helped by modest inflows and dollar sales from state-run banks, closing at 88.56 against the US dollar, a gain of 13 paise. This appreciation occurred despite a firm global dollar index, buoyed by optimism over potential favorable US-India trade deals following recent US political developments. Traders anticipate reduced tariffs, which could enhance export competitiveness for Indian firms. The context involves ongoing US-India trade negotiations, with comments from the US President indicating progress on tariff reductions. Immediate implications include improved profitability for importers and a potential curb on imported inflation, supporting RBI's monetary policy flexibility. Stronger rupee may attract more foreign investments into Indian equities and bonds, bolstering market sentiment. Overall, this currency strength reflects positive external sector dynamics amid global uncertainties.

IndusInd Bank Seeks Clawback from Former Executives

IndusInd Bank has initiated a clawback process to recover salary and bonuses from its former CEO Sumant Kathpalia and deputy CEO Arun Khurana, following an internal review that identified misconduct and misreporting. The misconduct relates to incorrect accounting of derivative trades, which resulted in a $230 million hit to the bank's accounts and prompted the executives' exits in May 2025. Both executives are under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for alleged insider trading and accounting irregularities, with SEBI imposing market bans on them pending the probe. Indian banking regulations have permitted clawback provisions since 2019 to deter misconduct, though such actions remain rare, with only two known instances. The bank's board has sought legal opinion to enforce accountability under its code of conduct and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, citing breaches of internal controls and regulatory compliance. This case highlights the growing emphasis on executive accountability in Indian banking, potentially setting a precedent for stricter governance and oversight mechanisms. It may lead to improved investor trust in the sector but could also raise concerns over management stability at IndusInd.

UBS Forecasts India as Third-Largest Economy by 2028

UBS projects India's real GDP growth to stabilize at 6.4% in FY27 and 6.5% in FY28-FY30, positioning it as the third-largest economy by 2028 and the third-largest consumer market by 2026, driven by strong domestic demand and household consumption growth of 7.9% CAGR over the past decade. The bank expects global growth to slow slightly to 3.1% in 2026 before recovering to 3.3% in 2028. Despite these optimistic economic forecasts, UBS maintains an underweight stance on Indian equities, citing high valuations at a 48% premium to emerging markets on a 12-month forward PE basis, relative to company fundamentals. UBS highlights risks from potential US trade policies, such as persistent 50% tariffs that could reduce growth by 50 basis points in FY27 or a 25% tax on outsourcing payments impacting growth by 90 basis points. The bank prefers Indian banking and consumer staples sectors, noting the absence of direct AI beneficiary stocks. UBS anticipates consumer price inflation to rise to 4.3% in FY27, below the RBI's forecast, with expectations of a 25 basis point rate cut in FY26 followed by a pause. This projection underscores India's long-term growth potential but cautions on near-term market corrections due to valuations.

EPFO Launches Employee Enrollment Scheme 2025

The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has launched the Employee Enrollment Scheme 2025 to encourage employers to enrol eligible employees into the EPFO system. The scheme offers minimal penalties for past employee contributions, effective from November 1, 2025. This initiative aims to promote workforce formalization and improve the ease of doing business in India.

For employers, the scheme reduces compliance burdens and encourages timely enrolment, potentially lowering administrative costs. Economically, it supports formalization by integrating more workers into the provident fund system, which could strengthen social security and boost overall economic stability. This move aligns with government efforts to expand social security coverage, positively impacting labor markets.

RBI Allows Banks to Finance Mergers and Acquisitions

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has opened the door for banks to provide loans for mergers and acquisitions, marking a shift in policy to facilitate corporate consolidation. This decision comes amid slowing economic growth and aims to support strategic deals in key sectors. Context includes previous restrictions on such financing to prevent asset bubbles, now relaxed with safeguards like exposure limits. Immediate implications involve increased M&A activity, potentially revitalizing underperforming assets and enhancing efficiency. Banks may see higher lending opportunities, boosting their profitability amid tepid credit growth. This could accelerate India's corporate restructuring, contributing to stronger balance sheets and economic resilience. Overall, it signals RBI's confidence in the banking system's stability.
