I had
mentioned in Monday’s closing report that Nifty, Sensex were under pressure.
The major indices of the Indian stock markets were range-bound on Tuesday and
closed with losses over Monday’s close. On the NSE, there were 847 advances,
870 declines and 347 unchanged.
Sensex
and Nifty traded lower following the Asian stocks on Tuesday after the US
brought criminal charges against Chinese telecom giant Huawei that could
escalate the US-China trade tensions. In an overnight development, the US
Justice Department filed criminal charges against Huawei accusing the world
second largest smart phone marker of bank fraud, obstruction of justice and
theft of technology. The financials, IT (information technology) and metal
sectors on the BSE were in the red while the telecom and metal stocks gained.
The laggards were Yes Bank, Reliance Industries, Power Grid, Infosys and HDFC
declining up to 2%.
State-owned
lender Bank of India's net loss widened during the quarter ended December 31,
2018 due to higher provisioning for non-performing assets (NPAs). According to

widened to Rs4,738 crore from a net loss of Rs2,341 crore reported for the same
period of the last fiscal year. However, the lender's net interest income
increased by 33.23% to Rs3,332 crore in the quarter under review from Rs2,501
crore in Q3FY18. The bank made provision worth Rs9,179.48 crore for NPAs during
the quarter under review from Rs4,373.06 crore made during the previous

conglomerate Piramal Enterprises Ltd (PEL) reported a rise of 23% in its
consolidated net profit during the third quarter of 2018-19. According to the

shares closed at Rs2,140.00, down 1.41% on the NSE.
Tata
Power reported 67.42% plunge in consolidated net profit for the third quarter
ending in December at Rs204.61 crore mainly caused by lower profits from its
coal business and higher losses due to fuel under-recovery from its Mundra
plant. In a statement here, Tata Power said it had posted a profit after tax
(PAT) at Rs628.16 crore in the same quarter a year ago mainly on the back of
exceptional gain of Rs299 crore for deferred tax on sale of investment included
in the previous year. Tata Power Company shares closed at Rs70.90, down 0.07%
on the NSE.
The
Board of the beleaguered Jet Airways will meet on February 21 to discuss a
fresh resolution plan being considered by lenders triggering speculation
whether it will end up as a redux of the Kingfisher Airlines disaster that
eventually led to Vijay Mallya being declared a fugitive economic offender. In
a stock exchange filing on Monday, Jet Airways said an Extraordinary General
Meeting (EGM) of the company would be held on February 21. It said a special
resolution would be put forth in the EGM to consider and "to approve
conversion of loan into shares or convertible instruments or other
securities". Jet Airways India shares closed at Rs245.00, up 0.08%
on the NSE.
