The company had dispatched 4,86,704 units to dealers in the year-ago period. Domestic sales stood at 5,08,309 units last month as compared with 4,66,466 units in May 2022. Exports however declined to 11,165 units from 20,238 units in the year-ago period.

Earlier in the day, the stock touched an 8-month high of Rs 2,912.65. The gains were backed by strong volumes of over 1 million shares, way higher than the 6-month average trading volume of over 400,000 shares.The country’s largest two-wheeler maker saw its total sales increase nearly 7% on year in May to 5,19,474 units, led by an over 8% growth in motorcycle sales to 4,89,336 units.While the company reported a growth in sales in the domestic market, it struggled to sell vehicles in international markets.According to ICICIdirect, Hero MotoCorp has led the volume recovery in the two-wheeler pack, as volumes surged 31% month-on-month. Motorcycle volumes increased 33% month-on-month.However, the overall growth in volumes reported by the company was largely in line with analysts’ expectations.Despite better numbers, the stock is the least preferred in the pack. The stock has underperformed its peers, Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor by a wide margin.While both TVS Motor Co and Bajaj Auto have gained over 20% each so far in 2023, Hero MotoCorp has gained just 5%.“Within the 2W space, we like Bajaj Auto as we expect a bounce back of exports 3-4 months down the line as the scenario may improve in Africa. Also, the EV strength gained from Chetak and the upcoming launch of e-3W can be additional positives,” Ashwin Patil of LKP Securities said in his report.For Nomura Financial Advisory and Securities too, Bajaj Auto is the preferred stock in the two-wheeler space.Most analysts believe that the recovery in volumes for the two-wheeler industry will happen steadily in FY24.

The index is now set to surpass the lifetime high of 18,887.60 it scaled in December last year. While Nifty50 will take an upward trajectory, midcap stocks are likely to see stronger momentum."We expect broader markets to accelerate upward momentum, fuelled by 18 month’s consolidation breakout in the midcap index. Hence, dips should be capitalised on to build a portfolio from a medium-term perspective," a report by ICICI Direct recommended.From Thursday's closing price of 18,488, the 50-stock index is just 400 points or 2% away from the all-time high. The current exuberance in the domestic stock markets is on the back of foreign institutional investors (FIIs) returning back to their buying ways."We expect the index to resolve out of the intermediate hurdle of 18,500 and challenge the lifetime high of 18,900 in the coming month," the ICICI Securities report said. On the downside, Nifty50 is unlikely to breach the key support threshold of 17,800, it added. In its March report, brokerage ICICI Securities recommended a buy-on-dips strategy, which has "fared well" according to the claims made by the brokerage firm in its June report.Broader markets will not be without action and midcap stocks will likely give opportunities to investors to make some moolah.100697069ICICI Direct has also identified themes and specific midcap stocks which can earn investors handsome gains.5 Reasons why midcap will ride an uptrend:1) Consolidation breakout confirms resumption of uptrend: Breakout from the past four week’s consolidation of 18,500-18,000 bodes well for the acceleration of uptrend.2) Midcaps to maintain relative outperformance: The Nifty midcap index witnessed a faster pace of retracement as it retraced past four month’s decline in just two months and approached near its all-time high.3) The ratio line of Nifty Midcap/Nifty500 has recorded breakout from cup and handle pattern after five years, indicating acceleration of upward momentum in the broader market.4) Improving market breadth displays broad-based participation: The recent consolidation is on the back of improving market breadth as currently 60% of the stocks of the Nifty500 universe are trading above 200-day SMA compared to April end reading of 48%, highlighting broader market participation.5) Constant buying spree of FIIs: FIIs inflows have remained sturdy in May at Rs 25,000 crore, which is a key supporting factor for the acceleration of the structural uptrend ahead.Themes and Stocks to buy1) PSU - National Aluminium Company2) Capital Goods - Elgi Equipments, Tega Industries3) Auto - JK Tyre, Mahindra CIE Automotive4) Telecom & IT - Birlasoft5) Pharma & Chemicals - Laurus Labs6) Infra, Real Estate, Metal - Brigade Enterprises, PNC Infra, NCC 7) Others - Shoppers Stop, TCI, IRCON, Lemon Tree Hotels, Tejas Networks(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

According to the commission, though, a repeal would be akin to turning a blind eye to the current ground realities that exist in India.In sum, the Law Commission says that "it can be retained with certain safeguards to prevent its misuse"."In this context, it is also alternatively suggested that a provision analogous to Section 196(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC) may be incorporated as a proviso to Section 154 of CrPC, which would provide the requisite procedural safeguard before filing of a FIR with respect to an offence under Section 124A of IPC," chairman of the 22nd Law Commission Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi (retd) said in his covering letter to Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal.The panel recommended that model guidelines curbing misuse of the law be issued by the Centre.According to the commission, certain procedural guidelines are necessary for curbing any misuse of the law, but allegations do not "by implication warrant a call for its repeal".Further, sedition being a "colonial legacy" is not a valid ground for its repeal, it added.Here is a summary of the key points of the commission's report to the govt, titled "Usage of the Law of Sedition":The existence of laws such as Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the National Security Act does not by implication cover all elements of the offence envisaged under Section 124A of the IPC.Further, in the absence of a provision like Section 124A of IPC, any expression that incites violence against the government would invariably be tried under the special laws and counter-terror legislations, which contain much more stringent provisions to deal with the accused.Each country's legal system grapples with its own different set of realities. It is often said that the offence of sedition is a colonial legacy based on the era in which it was enacted, especially given its history of usage against India's freedom fighters. However, going by that virtue, the entire framework of the Indian legal system is a colonial legacy. The police force and the idea of an All-India Civil Service are also temporal remnants of the British era.Merely ascribing the term 'colonial' to a law or institution does not by itself ascribe to it an idea of anachronism. The colonial origins of a law are by themselves normatively neutral. The mere fact that a particular legal provision is colonial in its origin does not ipso facto validate the case for its repeal.There are plethora of examples of various laws being misused by ill-intentioned individuals only to settle their scores in cases of personal rivalries and vested interests, with even the Supreme Court recognising the same in a number of decisions.Never has there been any plausible demand to repeal any such laws merely on the ground that they are being misused by a section of the populace. This is so because for every abuser of that law, there might be ten other genuine victims of any offence who direly need the protection of such a law.What is required in such cases is only to introduce legal ways and means to prevent the misuse of such a law.If the law is repealed altogether, subversive forces will get a free hand to further their sinister agenda as a consequence.]]> Fri, 02 Jun 2023 07:51:28 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/-7xbHkw1Bdy4_yClGiT7Fg https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/-7xbHkw1BdwKMNyZRqvERQ Husband breaks crown into pieces after wife loses pageant]]> Fri, 02 Jun 2023 07:40:43 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/-7xbHkw1BdwKMNyZRqvERQ https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/-7xbHkw1BdzeCQxqGDaj2A ]]> Fri, 02 Jun 2023 07:31:06 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/-7xbHkw1BdzeCQxqGDaj2A
