SUMMARY

📌 In this episode of Markets Today, we decode why India is Asia’s least-preferred market in BofA’s survey despite strong Nifty earnings and $4 billion+ in FII inflows, SEBI’s plans to make Indian markets more foreign investor-friendly through easier trading rules, and three blockbuster 2026 IPOs—Omnitech Engineering (+158%), SEDEMAC Mechatronics (+126%), and Shadowfax Technologies (+100%)—that have more than doubled investors’ money.

📌 In this episode of Markets Today, we decode 3 big stories — India becoming Asia’s least-preferred stock market per BofA’s survey even as Nifty 50 earnings beat estimates, SEBI considering a major overhaul to make Indian markets more accessible to foreign investors, and three 2026 IPO stocks delivering over 100% returns.

#1 📉 India — Asia’s Least-Preferred Market BofA survey: 32% of fund managers net underweight on India. Yet Nifty 50 earnings grew 18% YoY vs 10% estimate, and FIIs invested $4B+ this quarter — the most in emerging Asia.

#2 🏛️ SEBI’s Market Accessibility Overhaul Proposed: cut collateral requirements 15-20% for liquid stocks, simplify short-selling, expand securities lending-borrowing. Comes after $50B+ in FII selling since October 2024.

#3 📈 3 IPO Stocks With 100%+ Returns Omnitech Engineering: up 158.4% from issue price. SEDEMAC Mechatronics: up 126.3%. Shadowfax Technologies: up 100.2%.
