The US markets were closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day. However, US equity futures rose over 1% following President Trump’s decision to delay imposing 50% tariffs on European Union imports until July 9. These moves temporarily eased fears of an escalating trade war, providing a positive signal for global markets. Meanwhile, investors were also looking ahead to earnings news from Nvidia (NVDA), with the AI daring scheduled to release its fiscal first-quarter results after the close of trading next Wednesday. On the US economic front, the Commerce Department released a report showing that new home sales in the US in April spiked compared to a significantly downwardly revised level in March. Asian markets fluctuated this morning, and the dollar edged down while gold changed a little. Oil was slightly lower ahead of an OPEC+ meeting that will decide on supply policy. Indian market is seen opening little changed on Tuesday, tracking muted cues from other Asian markets as fears persist over US tariffs and fiscal deficit. Benchmark indexes Sensex and Nifty climbed around 0.6% each on Monday, driven by gains in rate-sensitive auto and banking stocks as India overtook Japan to become the world’s fourth-largest economy. Reports indicate that RBI is seeking approval to allow domestic banks to lend the rupee to overseas borrowers, accelerating the internationalization of the Indian currency.

Gangwal Family to Sell IndiGo Shares

Rakesh Gangwal, co-founder of IndiGo, and his family are set to divest up to a 3.4% stake in InterGlobe Aviation, which operates India’s largest airline, through block deals on Tuesday, according to term sheets circulated by three bankers managing the transaction. The estimated deal size is pegged at Rs 6,831 crore ($803 million). The shares will be offloaded by Gangwal and The Chinkerpoo Family Trust at a floor price of Rs 5,175 per share  a 4.5% discount to IndiGo’s closing price of Rs 5,420 on the National Stock Exchange as of May 26. As of March 31, 2025, the Gangwal family held a 13.53% stake in IndiGo. The proposed sale marks yet another step in their gradual exit from the airline, which Gangwal co-founded with Rahul Bhatia in 2006. Just three years ago, the Gangwal family held close to 37% in the company. The latest block deal reflects continued promoter churn in India’s aviation sector, even as IndiGo maintains its dominant market share and expands its international footprint.

Why it Matters:

This news signals Rakesh Gangwal’s continued exit from IndiGo, marking a significant shift in promoter holding. The Rs 6,831 crore block deal reflects ongoing churn in India’s aviation sector. Despite the stake sale, IndiGo remains a market leader with growing global ambitions.

The promoter Gupta family of PG Electroplast Ltd. is set to sell shares worth Rs 1,177 crore via open market transactions on Tuesday. The promoter group will offer 1.59 crore shares representing a 5.6% stake, via block deal window, according to terms reviewed by NDTV Profit. The floor price for the PG Electroplast block deal is set at Rs 740 per share, a 4% discount to Monday’s closing. PG Electroplast led growth in the electronics manufacturing services industry after its consolidated net profit jumped twofold to Rs 146.38 crore in the fourth quarter. Strategic expansion in products and capacity helped PG Electroplast in the March quarter. The company’s growth prospectus remained positive due to ongoing client additions and new stock-keeping unit launches,

Why it Matters:

The Gupta family’s ₹1,177 crore stake sale in PG Electroplast signals partial profit booking in a multibagger stock. Despite the block deal, the company’s strong Q4 performance and expansion plans highlight robust growth potential. This move also reflects rising investor interest in India’s electronics manufacturing sector.
