Ahishkumar Chauhan is set to become the new managing director and CEO of the National Stock Exchange as capital markets regulator Sebi has given its clearance for his appointment, the exchange said on Sunday.
Chauhan, who is currently the MD and CEO of BSE, will be appointed for a period of five years. The tenure of Chauhan, who has been with BSE since 2009, is scheduled to end in November.
He will be taking over the helm of NSE from Vikram Limaye, whose five-year term ended on Saturday. Limaye did not seek another tenure at the NSE despite being eligible for it.
In a statement, the NSE said that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has approved the name of Chauhan as the MD and CEO of NSE.
His appointment is subject to acceptance of the offer made to him and fulfilment of terms and conditions including approval from the shareholders of NSE, the statement noted.
In the interim, an internal executive committee has been constituted by the governing board of NSE for running the affairs of the company till the new MD and CEO assumes charge. The committee will be dissolved upon the new chief assuming office.
The internal executive committee comprises Yatrik Vin, Group CFO & Head Corporate Affairs, Priya Subbaraman, Chief Regulatory Officer, Somasundaram KS, Chief Enterprise Risk & Information Security Officer and Shiv Kumar Bhasin, Chief Technology & Operations Officer.
Chauhan, who is one of the founders of NSE, has the uphill task of guiding the exchange, which is facing the regulatory probe in a case pertaining to governance lapses at the bourse as well as in the co-location matter.
The co-location scam resulted in ouster and later arrest of its former MD and CEO Chitra Ramkrishna.
Also, all eyes are now on the BSE that who will get the top job at the exchange after the departure of Chauhan. BSE has already begun the search for a new MD and CEO.
Under the new market infrastructure institution (MII) rules, the head of an MII is allowed a maximum of two terms of five years each.
Chauhan, a technocrat from IIT and IIM, is considered the father of modern financial derivatives in India due to his work at NSE from 1993-2000. He is also the creator of Nifty index and was in charge of creating the first screen-based trading. He started his career as a banker with IDBI.
At BSE, Chauhan helped it become the world's fastest exchange with 6 microseconds response time, completed its IPO, revived its revenues, introduced mobile stock trading to India, diversified in new areas including currency, commodities and equity derivatives, SME, start-ups, mutual fund and insurance distribution, spot markets and power trading.
In addition, Chauhan has the experience of successfully handling the initial public offering (IPO) of BSE. This was one of the eligibility criteria NSE was looking in its next chief.
The NSE is planning to come out with its initial share-sale since long. However, the plan to go public derailed after the bourse got embroiled into colocation controversy, where certain brokers were allegedly given unfair access to the exchange data feeds over other members.
In March, NSE invited applications from candidates for the role of MD and CEO. The applications were invited from candidates having IPO experience for the top post job.

Rupee at 80 may be the headline but the star of the story is Dollar as the script and casting for the rout is not homegrown. Simply speaking, it is Dollar which is king and rupee an unfortunate victim of the turn of events -geo political and economic

Explained: Rupee at 80, what got it here and what it means for you 

The dollar continues to gain vs emerging market currencies

<a href="https://www.editorji.com/business-news/markets/rupee-at-80-set-to-hit-historic-low-today-vs-usd-1657852856569" target="_blank">Rupee at 80</a> may be the headline but the star of the story is Dollar as the script and casting for the rout is not homegrown. Simply speaking, it is Dollar which is king and rupee an unfortunate victim of the turn of events - geo political and economic.&nbsp;
<h3>Tracking the tumble</h3>
From an average rate of 73.93/$ in 2021 rupee has tumbled over 27 times to hit new record low in this year itself, tumbling over 6.5%. To paint a true picture it is not the rupee falling but the dollar rising. The dollar has risen to a 20 year high vs a basket of currency adding pressure across the globe. Euro has hit parity vs the dollar, something unseen in 20 years. The Japanese Yen continues to struggle at 24 year low as well.&nbsp;
<h3>Why is the Rupee hit so hard?</h3>
India's large amount of dues in dollars because of large import bill leaves the fifth biggest economy in the world more exposed to pressure as the dollar gains and it has to shell out far more currency to make pay debt. As the world&rsquo;s third largest oil importer, India is vulnerable to rising oil prices and in turn the rising demand for dollars to make those payments.&nbsp;
<h3>Dollar payments pile up</h3>
Its not just the household budgets that have been hit with high prices, it is playing havoc with North Blocks balance sheet as well. India&rsquo;s trade deficit, the gap between imports and exports&nbsp; - widened the most on record in June to $25.63 billion adding more pressure to the rupee as demand for dollars to make those payments rises.&nbsp;
<h3>Don't we have reserves, what is the RBI doing?</h3>
RBI's forex reserves have fallen by $42 billion dollars since Februrary and is now at&nbsp; the lowest in more than 14 months at $588.3 billion as of July 1. The central bank has intervened directly into the forex markets as well via tools such as restricting gold imports, allowing settlement in rupee for external trade. But this is a global rout so intervention and course correction may be a tough ask for Governor Shaktikanta Das.&nbsp; 
<h3>Who to blame - Putin or Powell?</h3>
Oil has what has boiled India's import bill with Russia's invasion of Ukraine creating global fuel shortages. In fact for every $1 increase in the price of oil, India&rsquo;s import bill increases by $2.1 billion. Putin to petrol to payments that has really been the domino effect. Another side effect and a bigger one has been from Jerome Powell, historic hikes from the US Central bank has made dollar denominated investments more attractive, and as globally economies slow risk aversion rises and FIIs start to park money to safer slower investments mostly dollar based.&nbsp;
<h3>What is the endgame?&nbsp;</h3>
With global central banks playing catch up on rates with Powel being the pied piper, traders expect dollar to gain more from here so emerging market currencies such as the rupee are likely to see more pain.&nbsp;

The rupee rout continues as the currency is set to decisively fall below the crucial 80 per US dollar mark in trade. The rupee on Wednesday briefly breached the 80 mark but settle to close at recor low - 4th session in a row at 79.90/$. It is not the rupee that is suffering but rather the US greenback that is gaining. The dollar dominance has been exaggerated by fast rising rates by the US Fed and the global slowdown. The result a general risk aversion and foriegn investors pulling money out of 'hot spot' markets such as India. In just this year FIIs have pulled out over $29 billion dollars from the markets, outstripping the exits during the 2008 financial crisis. But India is not alone in the losers club vs the dollar, Euro now at parity sits at a 20 year low, the Japanese yen has tumbled to its lowest level in 24 years vs the dollar. The bets however expect a little more pain as the Fed is set to tighten rates by a historic 100 bps at its July 26-27 meet pushing the dollar even higher.

Top 5 'fat-finger' trades that rocked global marketsJapan's Jitters with $711 Billion Blunder2014: In what could have been one of most expensive fat-finger trades ever. Someone placed more than 40 erroneous orders in some of Asia’s largest corporations, representing hundreds of billions of dollars of business. Orders included a request for 1.9 billion shares in Toyota, around 57 per cent of its total share capital.

State-owned SBI has filed an insolvency petition against the country's largest sugar firm Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar Ltd.
SBI as a financial creditor has filed the plea before the Allahabad bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).

On August 12, the company reported that for the quarter ended June of this fiscal year, its net loss stood at Rs 45 crore and total income at Rs 1,538 crore.
"During the June '22 quarter, due to delayed payment of loan instalment and coupon rate interest on optionally convertible debentures the lenders have classified the company's account as Non-Performing Assets (NPA) as per the RBI regulations on loan classification.
The lenders of the company have signed an ICA (Inter Creditors Agreement) on January 28, 2022 for resolution of the company's accounts, the company had said in the notes of accounts of financial statement for the first quarter.
The debt restructuring as per RBI's S4A scheme has improved the company's liquidity position, it said.

The resolution plan envisages reduction of its overall debt, realignment of its capital structure, payment of cane dues of farmers, increasing cane availability and supply etc.
"The company is also exploring/evaluating various options for corporate restructuring to streamline the business and enhance the company's value," Bajaj Hindusthan said.
