- 28th April 2025
Aaj Ka Bazaar
The US market ended on a firm note Friday and logged substantial gains for the week amid optimism that the worst tariff-induced uncertainty is over. Asian market edged higher at the open in a cautious start to the week as investors await progress in US trade negotiations with the region and signs of further stimulus from China. Indian equity markets might be poised for a start in the green on April 28, snapping a two-session losing streak as a result of global volatility and geopolitical tensions. On stock-specific news, RailTel Corporation of India will remain focused today following the company’s receipt of the work order worth Rs 90 crores from The Institute Of Road Transport. The contract is for the ERP’s design, development, supply, implementation, operations and maintenance for MTC Chennai, TNSTC-Coimbatore and TNSTC Madurai and will be executed by 2026. Investors will focus on key economic data this week – the Bank of Japan’s rate decision, the US jobs report, and gross domestic product data – to see if the recent steadiness in markets will continue as tariff tensions tamp down.

Tata Tech Q4 Profit Surges 20%
Tata Technologies is likely to stay in focus after reporting a 20% year-on-year rise in net profit to ₹189 crore in Q4FY25, up from ₹157 crore a year ago. The profit also grew 12% from the previous quarter’s ₹169 crore. However, revenue dipped slightly to ₹1,286 crore, down 1.2% YoY and 2.4% QoQ. The company managed to keep its expenses in check, which helped drive strong profit growth despite lower revenue. Quarterly costs dropped to ₹1,088 crore from ₹1,119 crore in Q3 and ₹1,094 crore in the same period last year. The board also approved a total dividend of ₹11.70 per share, including a final and special payout. Despite these strong results, the stock has dropped 35.19% in the past year and is down 22.19% year-to-date. On Friday, Tata Technologies shares closed at ₹693.25 on the BSE, down 3.34%.
Why it Matters:
Tata Technologies’ strong profit growth despite falling revenue highlights its effective cost control. The generous dividend payout shows management’s confidence in the company’s financial health. With shares down significantly over the past year, this performance could attract renewed investor interest.

RailTel Shares Rise on 90-Crore
RailTel Corporation shares edged up in early trade on April 28 after the company won a new order worth ₹90 crore from the Institute of Road Transport. The project involves implementing an ERP system for transport units in Chennai, Coimbatore, and Madurai, and is set for completion by October 18, 2026. At 9:30 am, the stock was trading at ₹304.30 on the BSE, up 0.90%. This comes after RailTel recently secured another contract worth nearly ₹20 crore from UTI Infrastructure for managed cloud services over three years. In March, the company also bagged a ₹25.15 crore order from Hindustan Petroleum for a five-year network renewal project. Despite recent wins, the stock remains 50.76% below its 52-week high of ₹618, though it’s 14.7% above its 52-week low of ₹265.30, recorded in March 2025. RailTel’s growing order book signals steady business momentum, which could attract investor interest going forward.
Why it Matters:
RailTel’s consistent order wins highlight strong demand for its digital and infrastructure services. The latest ₹90 crore ERP contract boosts its revenue visibility and business momentum. With the stock trading well below its 52-week high, these developments may drive renewed investor interest.
Around the World
Most Asian currencies weakened on Monday, while the dollar gained slightly due to ongoing uncertainty about the U.S.-China trade war. Traders were reacting to mixed signals about trade talks, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s comments adding doubts about real negotiations between the two countries. The Japanese yen stood out as it benefited from safe-haven demand, although it faces pressure ahead of the Bank of Japan meeting this week. The U.S. dollar index rose by 0.2%, but it remains close to a three-year low. Meanwhile, the Chinese yuan weakened, though its losses were limited by a stronger fix from China’s central bank. The Indian rupee was stable around 85.35 against the dollar after recent sharp declines. Broader market sentiment remains cautious, with traders focused on upcoming economic data, including China’s PMI figures and inflation reports from Australia, while uncertainty around the trade war continues to affect currency movements.
