Siemens Energy may see up to $180 million in outflows after MSCI exit
Siemens Energy India, which debuted on the Indian stock exchanges on Thursday, could see passive outflows of up to $180 million as it exits the MSCI Global Standard Index just a day after listing, according to estimates by Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research.
ADVERTISEMENT Global index provider MSCI will delete Siemens Energy India from its Global Standard Index (Large Cap segment), effective post-market close on June 20. The exit, Nuvama notes, could trigger 'estimated passive outflow in the range of USD 170–180 million,' although the brokerage added that a more accurate estimate would be available once the stock begins trading.
'If stock trades at lower circuit then implementation will get postponed,' Nuvama had said.
Siemens Energy India began trading on Thursday, June 19, after being spun off from Siemens Ltd earlier this year. The stock was listed at Rs 2,850 and quickly hit the 5% upper circuit at Rs 2,992.45 on the BSE, bolstered by investor optimism around the company's role in India's expanding power transmission and distribution (T&D) sector.The shares are currently part of the 'T' Group—meaning they will be settled on a trade-for-trade basis for the first ten trading sessions, limiting intraday speculation.
ADVERTISEMENT While MSCI exclusion is expected to lead to sizable passive outflows, Siemens Energy's removal from domestic indices such as the NSE and BSE early next week is likely to be more muted. 'The outflows here are expected to be minimal due to its negligible weight and passive tracking will be lower,' Nuvama said, adding that more clarity would follow the first day of trade. The brokerage is also monitoring how FTSE will respond post-listing.Despite the risk of outflows, brokerages remain bullish on Siemens Energy's long-term prospects.
ADVERTISEMENT Jefferies estimates nearly 30% upside potential with a target price of Rs 3,700, calling it 'India's largest listed pure-play power T&D equipment player at $10 billion+ market cap.' The brokerage forecasts a 40% EPS CAGR over FY24-27E, citing a strong T&D pipeline and operating leverage.Motilal Oswal resumed coverage with a target of Rs 3,000 and a 'Buy' rating, projecting a 25%/31% CAGR in revenue and PAT over FY25-27 and an EBITDA margin expansion to 21.4% by FY27. 'Margins have already started expanding in 5MFY25,' the brokerage noted.
ADVERTISEMENT HDFC Securities echoed the optimistic outlook, citing Siemens Energy's diversified offerings in power generation, green hydrogen, and grid automation, as well as exclusive rights in South Asia. It sees a 30% PAT CAGR supported by robust cash flows and innovative technologies.Siemens Energy India was demerged from Siemens Ltd in April 2025. The newly listed company focuses on transmission, distribution, and small- to mid-sized turbines. Its offerings range from 250 MW industrial turbines to 800 MW utility-scale generators, and includes power transformers up to 765 kV and EPC services.
ADVERTISEMENT The firm is expected to benefit from India's planned Rs 3 trillion transmission investments through FY30, especially in high-voltage (400 kV and 765 kV) segments. Capex plans include Rs 4.6 billion for doubling transformer capacity, Rs 3.3 billion for GIS units in Goa, and Rs 0.6 billion for vacuum interrupters—some of which will cater to export markets.

Qatar, UAE airspace closure sends air traffic completely out of gear
. New Delhi: The closure of UAE and Qatar airspace late Monday night as missiles were fired from Iran towards US bases in Qatar and Iraq threw commercial air traffic completely out of gear. Hundreds of lights to and from the region — that houses mega hubs like Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi along with multiple smaller ones like Sharjah — were impacted. Flights headed there from across the world, including multiple Indian cities, were diverted, returned to origin or were put on hold. Flights headed from Lucknow to Dammam; Mumbai to Kuwait and Amritsar to Dubai were among those that turned back to the origin from over the Arabian Sea. And aircraft supposed to take off from there, remained on the ground. The India market is served by biggies including Emirates Group, IndiGo, Air India Group, Qatar Airways, Etihad and multiple smaller airlines like Akasa, SpiceJet and Air Arabia. Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi are key transit points for travel between India and rest of the world. Dozens of flights to and from India alone were impacted on Monday night itself. In a statement, IndiGo said: 'In view of the evolving situation in the Middle East, some of our flights may experience delays or diversions. These adjustments are being made to ensure operations remain within safe and compliant airspace. We recommend checking your flight status regularly. If your flight is impacted, alternate options can be easily explored through our website. We continue to monitor the situation closely in coordination with the relevant authorities. We appreciate your patience and understanding.' An AI Express spokesperson said: 'As a result of the ongoing situation in the Middle East and suspension of Qatar airspace, Air India Express has diverted our Doha bound flight from Kochi to Muscat and returned our flight bound from Kannur. Air India Express has no aircraft on the ground in Qatar. We are monitoring the situation closely and will take all necessary precautions for the safety and security of our guests and crew, with inputs from the relevant authorities… regret inconvenience. ' The airspace closure in the region started around 9 pm (IST) when Qatar closed its airspace for commercial airliners 'to ensure safety of citizens, residents, and visitors.' As a result, a large number of flights headed to Doha — including many from Indian cities — were impacted. The enroute ones diverted to other nearby places like Abu Dhabi or Bahrain; some returned to their origin cities in India; boarding for those about to depart was put on hold and others were suspended till the airspace restrictions remain in force. The point-to-point trafic between India and Doha is rather low, with the majority being one-stop transit flyers. IndiGo, the biggest Indian operator to Doha, saw the maximum impact. Its enroute flights to Doha from Delhi and Hyderabad were diverted to Bahrain and one from Kochi went to Abu Dhabi. Comments were sought from Qatar Airways and awaited till the time of going to press. Air India's three flights were immediately impacted: one was diverted to Abu Dhabi, other returned to India and the third was put on hold. AI Express put boarding of its Doha-bound flights on hold at Indiana airports. AI Express has flights between Doha and six Indian cities — Kannur, Kochi, Kozhikode, Mangaluru, Thiruvananthapuram and Tiruchchirappalli. Multiple flights headed from the west to Doha diverted to nearby cities including Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Within an hour, the UAE airspace was also closed. That threw flights completely ot of gear. 'At this point, there's utter chaos and we can't even guestimate the impact,' said senior official of multiple airlines.

India's national interest non-negotiable in US trade talks, say government sources
New Delhi [India], June 23 (ANI): With about two weeks remaining before the critical July 9 deadline, India and the United States face mounting challenges in finalising their Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) as the 90-day tariff pause period draws to a close. Government sources emphasised that India's national interests will remain paramount in ongoing negotiations, even as both nations work intensively to reach an interim deal before the deadline expires. The negotiations have hit significant roadblocks, with the US maintaining its demands for substantially reduced duties on American agricultural and dairy products, along with market access for genetically modified (GMO) crops. India, however, has firmly rejected these proposals, citing concerns over food security, environmental protection, and the welfare of its domestic farming sector. 'India is unwilling to compromise on GMO crops or provide broad-based access for US agricultural and dairy products,' a senior government source said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. 'Our position remains clear that any agreement must serve India's strategic and economic interests first.' The American side has been particularly insistent on securing lower tariffs for its agricultural exports, viewing India's vast consumer market as crucial for its farming sector. However, Indian negotiators have expressed concerns that unrestricted access could undermine local farmers and food security frameworks. Despite these fundamental disagreements, both sides remain committed to achieving a breakthrough before the July 9 cutoff. The current tariff pause, implemented 90 days ago, has provided breathing room for negotiations while preventing an escalation of trade tensions. If no agreement is reached by the deadline, tariffs will automatically revert to the levels that existed on April 2, potentially reigniting trade friction between the two nations. However, government sources suggest that even in such a scenario, India would maintain a relative advantage compared to other competing manufacturing economies. The potential return to higher tariffs underscores the delicate balance both nations must strike between protecting domestic interests and fostering bilateral economic cooperation. For India, the negotiations represent a critical test of its ability to engage with major trading partners while safeguarding key sectors of its economy. Trade experts suggest that failure to reach an agreement could have broader implications for Indo-US relations, particularly as both countries seek to strengthen economic ties amid shifting global trade dynamics. The coming days will prove crucial as negotiators from both sides work round-the-clock to bridge their differences and avoid a return to the pre-negotiation tariff regime. Government sources remain cautiously optimistic about finding a middle ground that respects India's red lines while addressing legitimate US trade concerns. As the deadline approaches, all eyes will be on whether diplomatic pragmatism can overcome the current impasse in what has become one of the most closely watched trade negotiations of the year. (ANI)

US visa applicants must make social media accounts public for screening
Washington [US], June 23 (ANI): In a move aimed at strengthening visa screening procedures, the United States has announced that effective immediately, all individuals applying for an F, M, or J non-immigrant visa are required to adjust the privacy settings on all of their social media accounts to 'public' to facilitate vetting necessary to establish their identity and admissibility to the United States under U.S. law. In a post on X, the official handle of the U.S. Embassy in India (@USAndIndia) shared the announcement stating, 'Every visa adjudication is a national security decision. Effective immediately, all individuals applying for an F, M, or J non-immigrant visa are requested to adjust the privacy settings on all of their personal social media accounts to 'public' to facilitate vetting necessary to establish their identity and admissibility to the United States.' It also reiterated that since 2019, the United States has required visa applicants to provide social media identifiers on immigrant and non-immigrant visa application forms. The post added: 'We use all available information in our visa screening and vetting to identify visa applicants who are inadmissible to the United States, including those who pose a threat to U.S. national security.' Meanwhile, the U.S. government has also unveiled a sweeping new 2025 travel ban, barring nationals from 12 countries entirely and partially limiting visa access from seven others. The move prioritizes national security and focuses on countries deemed high-risk for security loopholes and terrorism concerns. Most affected countries are reportedly in the Middle East and Africa. Citizens from these nations now face a total ban on immigrant and non-immigrant visas, including those for tourism, education, and employment. Simultaneously, seven other countries face partial restrictions, involving tighter screening or limited visa categories. Amid growing concern in South Asia, the U.S. has clarified that India is not on the list. The U.S. is continuing to process applications for Indian nationals across all categories, including B1/B2 tourist visas, H1B work permits, and F1 student visas. However, visa applicants from India still face long delays due to high demand and administrative backlog. Most U.S. consulates in India are booking interview slots up to 10-12 months in advance. So while India remains unaffected by the new travel ban, long processing times may still impact travel plans, education, and employment opportunities for many. (ANI)
