InterGlobe Aviation stock hits five-month low as IndiGo cancels 200 flights

InterGlobe Aviation, the parent company of IndiGo, experienced a drop of over 3 per cent in its shares on Thursday as the airline faced widespread flight disruptions nationwide. The stock fell to Rs 5,405 in morning trading, hitting its lowest point in more than five months. This decline continued for a second consecutive session after IndiGo encountered one of its most significant operational challenges in recent years, with approximately 200 flights cancelled on Wednesday, reported news agency IANS.  The disruptions were mainly caused by a severe shortage of crew members, especially pilots, following the introduction of revised Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) regulations last month. The new rules require airlines to provide more rest hours and humane work schedules for crew members. IndiGo has struggled to quickly adjust its network to comply with these changes. According to the IANS, the impact carried over to Thursday, with nearly 73 flights cancelled at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport, adding to passenger inconvenience. In response to the widespread cancellations, IndiGo issued an apology, acknowledging the major disruptions across its network over the past two days. The airline cited multiple unforeseen challenges, including minor technical glitches, winter schedule adjustments, bad weather, increased air traffic congestion, and the rollout of updated crew rostering rules, which collectively created a difficult-to-anticipate situation, reported IANS.  To stabilise operations, IndiGo has implemented calibrated schedule adjustments that will remain in place for the next 48 hours. The airline expects these measures to restore normal operations and gradually improve punctuality. Meanwhile, the aviation regulator DGCA has launched an investigation into the disruptions. The watchdog has asked IndiGo to submit a detailed report explaining the reasons behind the cancellations and its plans to reduce delays and minimise passenger inconvenience. On Tuesday, IndiGo shares had already fallen around 2 per cent to close at Rs 5,595.50. Despite slipping nearly 6 per cent over the past five days, the stock remains more than 2 per cent higher than its level six months ago. ALPA urges DGCA to review pilot availability amid rising cancellations The Airline Pilots’ Association of India (ALPA) on Thursday raised concerns over recent flight cancellations across the country, which have been largely attributed to a pilot shortage linked to new Flight Duty Time Limit (FDTL) regulations. The association questioned whether the crisis stems from poor airline planning, regulatory oversight by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), or a combination of factors affecting market fairness. ALPA highlighted that airlines, including IndiGo, were aware of the revised FDTL norms issued by the DGCA in January 2024, with phased implementation beginning later that year. Despite sufficient lead time, many carriers reportedly failed to properly adjust crew rosters 15 days in advance as required, suggesting an initial underestimation or delay in strategic planning to ensure adequate pilot availability. Aviation experts have also speculated that some airlines might be using flight delays and cancellations as an “immature pressure tactic” to compel regulators to relax or grant dispensations for the stricter FDTL norms, potentially compromising the safety intent of these rules designed to reduce pilot fatigue.

Gold prices today: Check rates in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and other cities

Gold prices in India saw a modest uptick in early trade on Thursday, with the rate of 24-carat gold rising by Rs 10 to Rs 1,30,590 per 10 grams. Silver prices also strengthened, gaining Rs 100 to trade at Rs 1,91,100 per kilogram. The price of 22-carat gold rose by Rs 10 as well, with ten grams selling at Rs 1,19,710. Across major cities, ten grams of 24-carat gold was priced at Rs 1,30,590 in Mumbai and Kolkata, Rs 1,31,580 in Chennai, and Rs 1,30,740 in Delhi. For 22-carat gold, the rate stood at Rs 1,19,710 in Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, and at Rs 1,20,610 in Chennai. In Delhi, the price was Rs 1,19,860 per 10 grams. Silver prices remained uniform at Rs 1,91,100 per kilogram in Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai, while Chennai recorded a higher rate of Rs 2,01,100 per kilogram. Global Market Trends In international markets, gold prices held firm above the USD 4,200 mark on Thursday, supported by weaker US private payrolls data that bolstered expectations of an interest rate cut at next week’s US Federal Reserve meeting. Spot gold was steady at USD 4,207.56 per ounce (as of 0104 GMT), while US gold futures for December delivery inched up 0.1 percent to USD 4,237.50 per ounce. Other precious metals were mixed: silver slipped 0.2 per cent to USD 58.39 per ounce, platinum declined 0.8 per cent to USD 1,657.70, and palladium fell 0.9 per cent to USD 1,446.50. Domestic Market Movement On Wednesday, gold prices in the national capital surged by Rs 670 to Rs 1,32,200 per 10 grams, driven by firm global cues and a sharp decline in the rupee, according to the All India Sarafa Association. The metal had closed at Rs 1,31,530 per 10 grams on Tuesday. Traders attributed the rise to the rupee dropping to an all-time low against the US dollar, which made bullion more expensive. The currency breached the Rs 90-per-dollar mark for the first time, settling at 90.21 (provisional), down 25 paise from its previous close amid persistent foreign fund outflows and elevated crude oil prices. Silver, however, ended its six-day winning streak, falling by Rs 460 to Rs 1,80,900 per kilogram (inclusive of taxes). Globally, spot gold was trading slightly higher at USD 4,207.67 per ounce, while silver rose to USD 58.47 per ounce, briefly touching a record high of USD 58.94 earlier in the session.

Rupee slumps 28 paise to 90.43 against US dollar in early trade

The rupee slumped 28 paise to an all-time low of 90.43 against the US dollar in early trade on Thursday, amid substantial foreign institutional investor outflows and restrained intervention from the Reserve Bank of India. Forex traders said that restrained central bank intervention ahead of the crucial Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decision and significant dollar demand from importers have exerted persistent downward pressure on the local currency. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 90.36. It slipped further to a record low of 90.43 against the greenback in initial deals, registering a loss of 28 paise from its previous closing level. On Wednesday, the rupee breached the 90-a-dollar level for the first time to settle at a fresh all-time low of 90.15 against the greenback. Meanwhile, Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran on Wednesday said the falling rupee is not affecting inflation or exports. A falling rupee helps outward shipment but makes imports costlier. Import-dependent sectors such as gems and jewellery, petroleum and electronics may see lower benefits due to a rise in input costs, putting pressure on inflationary expectations, he said at an event on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading 0.14 per cent higher at 98.99. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose 0.49 per cent to USD 62.98 per barrel in futures trade. Forex traders believe investors are adopting a cautious stance amid ongoing trade tensions with the US, with expectations of a settlement towards the end of the year. "It seems that until the trade deal comes, we may see the rupee weaken further, and it may reach the levels of 91.00 soon. With a weak rupee, we do not expect the RBI to cut rates on Friday," said Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP. On the macroeconomic front, India's GDP has already surprised on the upside, and the latest HSBC India Services PMI a key index that measures whether businesses are growing or slowing rose to 59.8 in November, supported by strong new orders. "But the currency market isn't trading on growth headlines anymore. It wants stability, clear policy guidance and maybe a trade deal that doesn't keep slipping away," CR Forex Advisors MD Amit Pabari said. Pabari further added that "now all eyes turn to RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra on December 5. Investors aren't just listening to rate decisions. They want to hear his voice on the rupee." The decision of the RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra-headed six-member rate-setting panel will be announced on Friday. The meeting is taking place against the backdrop of falling inflation, rising GDP growth, the rupee crossing 90 against the dollar and ongoing geopolitical tensions. On the domestic equity market front, Sensex rose 45.99 points to 85,152.80 in early trade, while Nifty was up 14.35 points to 26,000.35. Foreign institutional investors sold equities worth Rs 3,206.92 crore on a net basis on Wednesday, according to exchange data.

Rupee breaches 90 to a dollar, falls 6 paise in early trade

The rupee breached 90-levels against the greenback for the first time on Wednesday, falling 6 paise to 90.02 in early trade, as banks kept buying US dollars at higher levels and FII outflows continued. However, a weaker dollar index and a fall in global crude oil prices cushioned against a steeper decline, according to forex traders. At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 89.96 against the greenback and slipped to a record intra-day low of 90.15 before recovering some ground to trade at 90.02, down 6 paise from its previous close. On Tuesday, the rupee settled 43 paise down at an all-time closing low of 89.96 against the US dollar, largely owing to continued short-covering from speculators and sustained importer demand for the American currency. "The rupee has been weakening with the Government of India and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) wanting to help exporters and may have kept the dollar well bid in the past few days," Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director, Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP, said. "Nationalised banks were buying dollars at higher levels consistently yesterday (Tuesday)... There was a deal at 90.0050 after the close of market hours on the trading platform. The stalled India-US trade talks and heavy FPI outflows are causing this fall in rupee despite a weakening dollar index," he said. Bhansali said the rupee might hit 91 levels in this cycle if the RBI support eases at 90. The MPC meeting starts on Wednesday and the interest rate decision will be declared on December 5 ahead of the Fed interest rate decision on December 10. "A rate cut by the RBI could invite further selling of the rupee," he added. Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading 0.13 per cent lower at 99.22. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, was trading 0.03 per cent lower at USD 62.43 per barrel in futures trade. On the domestic equity market front, Sensex declined 165.35 points to 84,972.92 in early trade, while Nifty was down 77.85 points to 25,954.35.

Gold prices today: Check rates in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and other cities

Gold and silver prices surged in India on Monday as growing expectations of an interest rate cut in the United States drove investor sentiment, pushing the precious metals higher. Silver, in particular, hit a record high in the domestic spot market. The price of 24-carat gold slipped marginally by Rs 10 in early trade, with ten grams trading at Rs 1,29,810. Silver prices also declined slightly by Rs 100, with one kilogram priced at Rs 1,84,900. The price of 22-carat gold fell by Rs 10, bringing ten grams to Rs 1,18,990. In Mumbai and Kolkata, ten grams of 24-carat gold were priced at Rs 1,29,810, while in Chennai it stood at Rs 1,30,680. In Delhi, the price was Rs 1,29,960. For 22-carat gold, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Hyderabad recorded prices of Rs 1,18,990 per ten grams, Rs 1,19,790 in Chennai, and Rs 1,19,140 in Delhi. Silver, meanwhile, touched a new peak in the domestic market. According to the India Bullion Association, spot silver traded at ₹1,75,010 per kilogram on December 1. The sharp rise followed a trading outage at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange due to a data-centre fault, exacerbating an ongoing supply shortage. In the global market, gold prices edged lower as investors booked profits after the metal touched its highest level in nearly three weeks. Spot gold was down 0.2 per cent at USD 4,221.68 per ounce as of 0109 GMT, after hitting its strongest level since November 13. US gold futures for December delivery were up 0.2 per cent at USD 4,261.60 per ounce. Silver climbed 2.2 per cent to a fresh high of USD 57.59 per ounce. US rate futures indicate strong expectations of a rate cut, with traders pricing in an 87 per cent probability of monetary easing later this month, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Among other precious metals, platinum slipped 0.2 per cent to USD 1,669.15, while palladium rose 2.3 per cent to USD 1,483.51. The precious metals market is expected to remain sensitive to further signals from the US Federal Reserve. Bank of America earlier this week said that gold could touch USD 5,000 with macro tail winds such as elevated government debt levels, persistent inflation, lower interest rates, and unconventional US economic policies. They noted that institutional allocations remain relatively light even as prices climb. Slowing demand from China, supply constraints in key mined metals and low global inventories are other key watch points, according to the bank. (With inputs from Agencies)

NCLT Mumbai approves one-time settlement scheme between NSEL and 5,682 traders

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai, has approved the One-Time Settlement Scheme between National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL) and traders on Friday. NSEL, with the support of its parent company, 63 Moons Technologies Limited, had filed a Scheme of Settlement before the Hon’ble NCLT, Mumbai, for a one-time amicable full and final settlement with 5,682 traders. The Scheme of Settlement was put to a vote by the Hon’ble NCLT, wherein a whopping 92.81 per cent of traders by number and 91.35 per cent by value voted in favour of the One-Time Settlement. The Settlement Scheme envisages payment of Rs. 1,950 crores to 5,682 traders in proportion to their outstanding balances as of 31 July 2024, in exchange for the closure of legal cases against the group, along with the assignment of all rights of traders in favour of 63 Moons. Back in August 2013, NSEL, with the support of 63 Moons, had paid around Rs. 179 crores, providing relief to 7,053 smaller traders with outstanding balances of less than Rs. 10 lakh. 63 Moons has once again stood up for the cause of traders, despite no direct money trail to NSEL, 63 Moons, or its promoters. This decision will bring major relief to traders whose funds were stuck in the NSEL payment crisis of July 2013. Neeraj Sharma, MD and CEO of NSEL, said, “This would not have been possible without the positive approach of the present BJP government (Central and State) in resolving the crisis, which was not addressed by P. Chidambaram and the UPA-2 government, for reasons best known to them.” Dr Sharad Kumar Saraf, Chairman of the NSEL Investors’ Forum (NIF), expressed gratitude for the efforts of 63 Moons and NSEL, along with the support from the Central and State governments, in achieving this closure.

Gold price updates: Check out prices in Mumbai and Delhi

Gold and silver prices on Friday too saw a decent inclination in the domestic futures market as strong spot demand and expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate cut lifted investor sentiment.  As reported by news agency IANS, MCX gold December futures during the early hours of Friday were trading 0.39 per cent higher at Rs 1,25,999 per 10 grams, while MCX silver December contracts were up 0.85 per cent at Rs 1,63,849 per kg.

Gold prices in Mumbai The ongoing wedding season across India has surely made the demand for the yellow metal quite significant.
