Here is a list of stocks that may remain in focus today.
Oil-linked stocks: Shares of oil-linked companies such as ONGC, Oil India, IOCL, BPCL, and HPCL, along with paints, tyres, and aviation, will trade actively today as crude oil prices continued to rally amid Middle East tensions.

Oil prices rose in early trading on Wednesday after ending the previous session up more than 4% on worries that the Iran-Israel conflict could disrupt supplies, said a Reuters report.

Brent crude futures rose 19 cents, or 0.25%, to $76.64 a barrel by 0029 GMT. US West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 23 cents, or 0.31%, to $75.07 per barrel, the report added.

BSE: Shares of the stock exchange will be in focus as the National Stock Exchange (NSE) has received SEBI's approval to shift its expiry day to Tuesday for equity derivatives contracts, while the BSE has been assigned Thursday as its expiry day, the exchanges announced.

This marks a swap from the current schedule, where NSE conducts F&O (Futures & Options) expiry on Thursdays and BSE on Tuesdays.

Vishal Mega Mart: Shares will be in focus as Samayat Services LLP, one of the promoter entities of supermarket chain Vishal Mega Mart, divested a 19.6% stake in the company for ₹10,220.40 crore through open market transactions. READ MORE
Zydus Wellness: Shares of Zydus Wellness, a consumer wellness company, will be in focus on Wednesday, June 18, as Mumbai-based private equity firm True North on Tuesday exited Zydus Wellness by divesting its entire 7.27% stake in the company, while PPFAS Mutual Fund acquired the shares for ₹879 crore through an open market transaction.

Vedanta, Hindustan Zinc: According to news reports, promoter entity Vedanta plans to sell a 1.6% stake in Hindustan Zinc through block deals today, with the total deal size pegged at around $350 million or ₹3,018 crore.

The floor price for the deal has been fixed at ₹452.5, a discount of nearly 7% to Tuesday's closing price of ₹485.95 on NSE, Moneycontrol reported. The term sheet further added that a total of 66.7 million equity shares will be on offer, the report added.

Polycab: In its filing to stock exchanges, the company said it executed an agreement with BSNL as the Project Implementation Agency (“PIA”) for design, supply, construction, installation, upgradation, operation and maintenance of the middle mile network of Bharat Net in Karnataka, Goa and Puducherry Telecom Circle against Package No. 4 amounting to ₹6,447.54 crore (inclusive of GST).
Mahindra & Mahindra: The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Tuesday cleared Mahindra & Mahindra's proposed acquisition of a nearly 59% stake in commercial vehicle maker SML Isuzu for ₹555 crore.

Mahindra & Mahindra in April announced the acquisition of a 58.96% stake in SML Isuzu for ₹555 crore.

"The proposed combination relates to the acquisition of SML Isuzu Ltd (Target) by Mahindra and Mahindra Limited (acquirer)," CCI said in a release.

UGRO Capital: The company's board has approved the acquisition of Profectus Capital Private Limited.
