INR commences weak amid firm dollar and surging international oil prices
The Indian rupee edged lower in opening trades on Monday tracking firm dollar overseas. Escalating tensions in the Middle East drove investors to the safe haven currency and send oil prices soaring. INR opened lower by around 18 paise at Rs 86.75 per dollar. On Friday, rupee snapped its three-day losing streak and settled with a gain of 18 paise at 86.55 against the US dollar. Indian shares also look set to open on a sluggish note Monday, tracking weak cues from Asian markets and a spike in oil prices that is also adding pressure on the local unit. Asian stock markets are trading mostly lower on Monday, following the mixed cues from Wall Street on Friday, amid escalation in the middle-east conflict after the U.S. joined Israel in the weeks-long war with Iran, with US carrying out a "successful" airstrike on three nuclear sites in Iran over the weekend. This has heightened fears of a broader regional conflict. Meanwhile, India's forex reserves rose USD 2.294 billion to USD 698.95 billion for the week ended June 13, the RBI said on Friday. For the week ended June 13, foreign currency assets, a major component of the reserves, rose by USD 1.739 billion to USD 589.426 billion, the data released on Friday showed.

Matter Motors Plans To Go Public In The Next 3-4 Years; Looks To Expand & Export Soon
Ahmedabad-based electric motorcycle startup Matter Motors is gearing up for aggressive expansion, both in terms of product and capacity, with plans to raise USD 200 million (approx. Rs. 1,730 crore) over the next few years. The funding will support the rollout of new models and the ramp-up of production. The big news is that the startup is also eyeing a public listing within the next 3-4 years in a bid to raise capital. Matter has so far focused on a single product - the Aera, India's first electric motorcycle equipped with a 4-speed manual gearbox. Priced at around Rs. 1.8 lakh, the Aera is currently available in Ahmedabad and Bengaluru, with deliveries having commenced in late 2024. The company has already raised USD 75 million through Series B rounds, placing its current valuation at approximately USD 230 million (Rs. 1,990 crore). Notable investors include Helena, Capital 2B, Japan Airlines & Translink Innovation Fund, LetsVenture, Baring Private Equity Partners, and Saad Bahwan Investment Management Company (SB Invest). While Matter's primary focus remains the domestic push for the Aera electric motorcycle, international ambitions are not far behind. From 2025, the startup intends to explore export opportunities in South East Asia, Eastern and Southern Europe, East Africa, and Latin America. The company currently has no plans to branch out into electric scooters or premium electric motorcycles. Presently, it competes with the likes of Revolt Motors, Oben Electric, and Ola Electric in the sub-200cc equivalent electric motorcycle space. Manufacturing currently takes place at a pilot facility in Ahmedabad, which the company is in the process of scaling up. The plant's capacity is expected to hit 1.2 lakh units annually, with a target to roll out 5,000 motorcycles per month by mid-2026. Matter has indicated that once this capacity is optimally utilised, it will begin scouting for a new, larger manufacturing facility.
