EQUITY
Markets hover near neutral lines in late trade
Nov-28-2025

Indian equity markets hovered near the neutral lines during late afternoon session. Investors took cautious approach ahead of release of India’s second quarter GDP data, Industrial production data and Manufacturing production data. Besides, fund outflows by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) weighed on trading sentiments. The FIIs were net sellers on Thursday’s session, offloading equities worth Rs 1,255.20 crore. However, markets took some support as Moody’s Ratings said that with a 7% GDP expansion in 2025 and 6.4% in the next year, India will lead growth among emerging markets and across the Asia Pacific region. It also said that India's domestic growth drivers underpin its economic resilience amid global uncertainty.

On the global front, Asian equity markets were trading mixed as China industrial profits data disappointed and China Vanke proposed to delay repayment of an onshore bond, rekindling worries about China's property market. European equity markets were trading mostly in red after German retail sales dropped unexpectedly in October.

Meanwhile, Agriculture Secretary Devesh Chaturvedi has said that the government will prioritise green fuel-based farm machinery and enhance access to mechanisation for small and marginal farmers as part of India's vision to become a global food basket by 2047. He said mechanisation is crucial for achieving the four key objectives of increasing farmers' income -- reducing farming costs, boosting productivity, improving price realisation through value addition, and building climate resilience.

The agriculture secretary said ‘over the next 5-10 years, we should shift our technologies towards green fuels -- whether electrically operated tractors or machines running on CBG (compressed biogas) available from rural CBG plants.’ He said this transition will bring down both maintenance and operational costs for farmers, and government schemes will increasingly prioritise green fuel-based technologies.

He further said the mechanisation sector received a major boost from recent GST reforms, which directly benefited farmers by lowering equipment costs. He said the Central Ministry is running several schemes under the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanisation, providing subsidised equipment to individual farmers, cooperatives and farmer producer organisations. He noted that there are significant regional disparities in mechanisation, with some states advancing rapidly while others lag behind. He said since 90 per cent of farmers in this country are small and marginal farmers, the machinery coming into India should be adapted not only for large farms but also for small and marginal farms.
