As demat accounts reached 118.16 million, the rise is attributed to individual investors' renewed interest in the Indian equity markets after the recent market rally 

New demat accounts exceed the 2 million mark in May 

As demat accounts reached 118.16 million, the rise is attributed to individual investors' renewed interest in the Indian equity markets after the recent market rally&nbsp;

The number of demat account openings reached its highest level to date in 2023, with the opening of 2.1 million accounts in May.
Demat accounts exceeded 118.16 million, an increase of 1.8% from the previous month and a significant 25% increase from the same time last year.
But, only 1.60 million demat accounts were opened in April, given that market was quite volatile that time around, which was the lowest number since December 2020, according to data from NSDL and CDSL.
The increase in demat account openings is attributed by analysts to retail investors' renewed interest in the Indian equity markets as a result of the rally seen over the previous two months. The Indian markets enjoyed a rebound in optimism after a period of sluggishness brought by global attitudes.
The Reserve Bank of India's attitude on the interest rate situation is cited by analysts as a catalyst for this trajectory, as per Money Control.&nbsp;

GQG has increased its stake in Adani group to $3.5 billion and is seeking to become the largest investor in the conglomerate after the family in 5 years

GQG's Rajiv Jain raises stake in Adani's conglomerate by 10% 

GQG has increased its stake in Adani group to $3.5 billion and is seeking to become the largest investor in the conglomerate after the family in 5 years

Investor Rajiv Jain's GQG Partners LLC has increased its stake at the Adani conglomerate by about 10%, reported Bloomberg . The company has also said that it will take part in future fundraising by the Adani group.
Rajiv Jain in an interview to Bloomberg has called the conglomerate, &ldquo;the best infrastructure assets available in India.&rdquo; The value of GQG's Adani holdings is close to $3.5 billion. Jain also told Bloomberg that within five years, GQG plans to become the largest investor in Adani group depending on the valuation after the family.&nbsp;
GQG came to the rescue of Adani group when its stocks were reeling under the pressure caused by the Hindenburg report. In March the company acquired almost $2 billion worth of shares in four of Adani's firms.&nbsp;
After the Hindenburg report Adani's shares had plummeted and the group shed more than $150 billion in market value.&nbsp;
The shares of Adani Enterprises advanced as much as 19% on Tuesday after the Supreme Court panel report said it was not "possible to conclude regulatory failure on allegation of price manipulation".&nbsp;

Equity markets settle flat in volatile trade; IT stocks play spoilsport

Prior of the Reserve Bank of India's interest rate announcement later this week, investors opted to stay on the sidelines, causing the benchmark market indices Sensex and Nifty to close flat

Benchmark equity indices Sensex and Nifty faced heavy volatility on Tuesday to settle flat as investors preferred to stay on the sidelines ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's interest rate decision later this week.
Selling pressure in IT counters, foreign fund outflows and weak trends in global equities also dented sentiments in markets, traders said.
Rising for the third straight session, the 30-share BSE Sensex eked out marginal gains of 5.41 points to settle at 62,792. During the day, it hit a high of 62,867 and a low of 62,554.
The NSE Nifty went up by 5.15 points to end at 18,599.
Both benchmark indices oscillated between highs and lows in a highly volatile trade during the day.
UltraTech Cement was the biggest gainer in the Sensex chart, climbing 3.13 per cent, followed by Kotak Mahindra Bank, Tata Motors, Axis Bank, Maruti, Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Finance and Mahindra &amp; Mahindra.
In contrast, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, Bharti Airtel, HCL Technologies, ICICI Bank and Nestle were among the laggards.

In May the average cost of a veg thali was Rs 25.1, while the cost of non veg thali stood at Rs 60.6. In April a veg thali in average costed Rs 25 and non veg costed Rs 58.3

Veg and Non-veg thalis' cost rise in May, after a steady decline since October

In May the average cost of a veg thali was Rs 25.1, while the cost of non veg thali stood at Rs 60.6. In April a veg thali in average costed Rs 25 and non veg costed Rs 58.3

The cost of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian thalis has increased in May, after a steady decline since October 2022, shows a report by Crisil.&nbsp;
In its monthly report RRR: Roti, Rice, Rate, Crisil has observed that in May the average cost of a veg thali was Rs 25.1, while the cost of non veg thali stood at Rs 60.6. In April a veg thali in average costed Rs 25 and non veg costed Rs 58.3. However, on a year on year basis, the prices of both the thalis have dropped. In May 2022, the average cost of a veg thali was Rs 27.6 and non-veg thali costed Rs 63.&nbsp;
As per Crisil, the average cost of a thali is calculated based on input prices prevailing in north, south, east, and west India.&nbsp;
The cost of veg and non-veg thalis declined 9% and 4%&nbsp; respectively year-on-year in May. This due to steep decline in the prices of vegetables and cooking oil. Though these two items constitute 25% of the total cost of a veg thali,&nbsp; an increase in the prices of cereals, pulses capped the reduction.
The vegetable prices saw a decline of 35% and cooking oil prices declined 19% in May. However, an 8% year-on-year increase in wheat prices in May limited the decline in the Thali's total cost. The price of rice too jumped up 10% and pulses went up 4% year-on-year in May.
Similarly, broiler cost inched up 2% year-on-year, limiting the cost of non-veg thali. However, chicken prices are estimated to have risen 5% to 7% month-on-month and hence increasing the non-veg thali price by 4%.

Experts expect that tomato prices may remain high for up to two months due to the damage caused to crops after unseasonable rainfall

 Unseasonal rain causes ginger-tomato prices to shoot up

Experts expect that tomato prices may remain high for up to two months due to the damage caused to crops after unseasonable rainfall

In the past two weeks, the prices of tomato and ginger have skyrocketed. While the recent unseasonal rains in northern India have impacted the tomato crop, ginger producers are delaying their harvest and allowing prices to soar in order to make up for the losses they suffered last year.
From ₹40 per kg in the retail market a fortnight ago, tomatoes now cost about ₹80 per kg.
'Tomato supply to the Azadpur mandi (in Delhi) has dwindled as rains have damaged the crop. Prices will remain firm for some time now, till the new crop comes,' said Ashok Kaushik, president of the Tomato Traders Association at Azadpur market. There is a huge demand for tomatoes from southern India, which too is pushing up prices, Kaushik said. 'Tomatoes are now coming from some parts of Haryana and UP. Prices are likely to remain firm for at least two months,' he added to The Economic Times
Prices for ginger, which were earlier ₹30 for 100 gms, have risen to ₹40.
Shriram Gadhave, president of the All India Vegetable Growers Association, said: 'Last year, the farmers suffered due to a lower price. This time they are offloading the crop carefully. Now that the prices have gone up, they will start offloading their crop in the market', as reported by The Economic Times
