EU draft rules recommend excluding India from its authorised metal-scrap export list Metals & Mining
The European Commission's draft assessment finds India has not demonstrated sound environmental management of metal waste and recommends against authorising Indian metal-scrap exports, ahead of a Nov 21, 2026 final list and a May 2027 effective date. The list can still change before the Oct 16 consultation closes, but this is the first concrete evidence behind the open claim that India's scrap-dependent steel/aluminium producers face a real access risk, not just a proposal risk.
Vedanta says ED's FEMA probe into Hindustan Zinc has imposed no penalty to date; case stays open Metals & Mining
Vedanta has publicly stated the ED has not imposed any penalty, restriction or adverse direction following June's FEMA searches over historical royalty and brand-fee payments to the parent, and says operations are unaffected. No escalation -- show-cause notice or compounding order -- has surfaced. That supports the open claim the probe ends without sanction, but the case is still at an ongoing civil-provisions stage, so it is not resolved either way yet.
Sanofi India confirms CFO's Sept 30 exit is a planned move to a global Sanofi role; no successor named yet Pharmaceuticals
Multiple outlets confirm Rachid Ayari steps down as Whole Time Director and CFO on Sept 30, 2026 to take a role within global Sanofi, with the company still searching for a successor. No reporting ties the exit to the revived BARC criminal case, but the absence of a named successor keeps the succession-uncertainty risk behind the pending BUY->HOLD call flip unresolved rather than settled.
Shriram Pistons posts highest-ever FY26 results, guides Antolin margins more than doubling within three years Automobiles
FY26 consolidated income rose 24.9% YoY to Rs 4,571cr with EBITDA up 18% to Rs 989cr; management guided the Antolin subsidiary's EBITDA margin from 9-10% toward 20%+ within three years alongside roughly Rs 200cr/year of continued capex. Single-sourced, but the combination of a record print and a concrete multi-year margin-expansion target is real evidence against the pending BUY->QUALITY-WAIT call flip, not just reiterated guidance.
Jamna Auto: both promoters' Sept 11 block-deal sales confirmed, still no disclosed reason Automobiles
Pradeep Singh Jauhar's stake fell from 6.46% to 3.96% and Randeep Singh Jauhar's from 2.49% to 1.88% in same-day block deals; no company disclosure of a benign reason (estate, tax restructuring) has surfaced, and no further sales or pledges have followed. The open governance-flag claim behind the pending BUY->HOLD call flip remains neither confirmed nor falsified.
