Executive Summary
RBI's monetary policy actions dominate with a 7-day VRRR auction of ₹2L Cr on April 17, 2026, to absorb surplus liquidity, alongside April 15 data showing net liquidity absorption of ₹4.08L Cr daily and overall net injection of -₹5.21L Cr, signaling proactive liquidity management amid high overnight volumes at 4.79% weighted average rate. Wipro Limited shines with Q4 FY26 revenue up 5.3% YoY to ₹183,628M (flat 1.95% QoQ) and FY26 revenue +4.0% YoY to ₹713,451M, but profit outperforms at +3.9% YoY Q4 to ₹30,371M and +11.2% YoY FY to ₹121,296M, coupled with a massive ₹15,000 Cr buyback proposal (5.7% shares at ₹250). TVS Motor increased stake in DriveX to 92.41% via related-party acquisition, with DriveX turnover surging 76.5% YoY to ₹59.97 Cr in FY25 but posting ₹46.33 Cr loss. Portfolio trends show IT sector resilience with profit growth outpacing revenue, contrasting auto subsidiaries' revenue growth amid losses; RBI's neutral stance implies stable rates supporting corporate capital returns like buybacks. Key implications: liquidity tightening could raise funding costs short-term, but boosts confidence in rate-sensitive sectors like IT/auto.
