  + stars: | 2023-06-12 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
BENGALURU, June 12 (Reuters) - Shares of Indian small-cap renewable energy company Urja Global (URJA.NS) jumped nearly 40% in two sessions following a deal with Gurugram-based Tesla Power India, which some investors mistook for U.S. automaker Tesla (TSLA.O). Urja on June 8 said it signed an agreement to manufacture and supply batteries with Tesla Power India, which has global headquarters in Delaware in the United States. "Investors misinterpreted this deal with the real Tesla, leading Urja stock to rally," said Prashanth Tapse, vice president of research at Mehta Equities. Urja shares were up 27.6% this year at 12.70 rupees. The small-cap stock was down 52% in 2022.

BENGALURU, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Indian shares were off to a muted start on Monday, ahead of domestic retail inflation data due later in the day and U.S. inflation data due tomorrow, while the ongoing uncertainty and spillover effects from the Adani Group's market rout continued to create an overhang. Investors await India's retail inflation data for January, due today. A Reuters poll of economists showed that India's annual retail inflation rose from a 12-month low in December, but stayed within the 6% upper limit of RBI's tolerance band in January. India's market regulator is probing the group's links to some of the investors in its scrapped $2.5 billion share sale of the flagship Adani Enterprises.

BENGALURU, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Indian shares slipped on Thursday, mirroring the weakness in Asian peers, amid growing signs that the Federal Reserve might not temper its aggressive monetary policy anytime soon. Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific shares ex-Japan (.MIAPJ0000PUS) slid a steeper 1.47%, with analysts pinning the smaller drop in local equities to India's fiscal health and economic growth prospects. San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly even said a pause was off the table. The Fed's stance could trigger "bouts of volatility," said Prashanth Tapse, vice president of research at Mehta Equities. "Traders are not uncomfortable with the high valuation of Indian markets, hence periodic profit-taking will continue."
