Today on The Daily Brief: - India is finally overhauling its outdated oil and gas laws with the Draft Petroleum & Natural Gas Rules 2025. This marks a major shift from decades of state control to a more open, investor-friendly regime. With promises of stable contracts, faster clearances, and investor protection, the reforms aim to unlock domestic energy production and attract global capital. But whether India can truly break free from its bureaucratic past remains to be seen. - Asian Paints is under fresh scrutiny from the Competition Commission of India after a new complaint by Birla Opus, which claims the market leader used strong-arm tactics to block competition. This echoes similar charges made earlier by JSW Paints, which were dismissed. But with stronger evidence and a wider dealer network involved, this new probe could lead to a different outcome.

Storage was the only permission we used to ask for, and we've removed that as well. It's now 0 permissions out of 10

Today on The Daily Brief: - Zee Entertainment’s shareholders recently rejected a ₹2,237 crore warrant issue that would’ve helped its promoters regain control. Once owning 43% of the company, the Goenka family now holds just 4%—a steep fall caused by chronic debt, governance failures, and regulatory scrutiny. This is the latest blow in a long saga that has eroded investor trust. - ONDC promised to revolutionise Indian e-commerce by breaking the dominance of giants like Amazon and Zomato. But after an initial boom, its retail growth is stalling as subsidies are cut and coordination challenges emerge. With a new ₹150 crore subsidy plan, ONDC is still betting on decentralisation to reshape the market.

Today on The Daily Brief: - ICICI Prudential AMC, one of India’s top mutual fund houses, is set to launch its IPO. With a high-margin equity portfolio, strong retail base, and fast-growing revenues, the company looks like a cash machine. But with rising regulation, the shift toward passive investing, and evolving digital habits, can it maintain its edge? - India’s UPI is a global benchmark for digital payments, thanks to one key feature: interoperability. Unlike closed systems abroad, UPI lets any app talk to any bank — creating choice, driving innovation, and transforming how the country transacts. But as two apps dominate the space, can this open ecosystem stay that way?

The lack of short selling in Indian markets is causing potential market distortions. Unless we make shorting of stocks easy in the Indian markets, price discovery will be impaired. India has been a structurally long-only market with almost no shorting activity, because borrowing stock to short is really hard and is an offline process. Because of this long-only bias, there's probably very little short-selling talent as well, even if large funds want to start shorting. The only real way to short stocks until now was to use futures, maybe options. But there are only 224 F&O stocks, which means you can't short the vast majority of the problematic stocks. Also, these contracts expire every month, and the cost of rolling over these contracts is significant (only the 1st month contract is liquid). Unless this changes, there will always be weird distortions in the prices of Indian markets. Short sellers, although they have a bad reputation, are massively underrated. Think of them as janitors; they clean up all the garbage in the markets and make them more efficient. Securities lending and borrowing (SLB) is still an offline process, and most brokers don't offer an online option. Like everyone, we at Zerodha offer it, but you'll have to call us to borrow or lend, and there's a process, which means it'll never scale. Hopefully, we will have an online platform by the end of the year, and stock lending and borrowing will become much simpler.

Today on The Daily Brief: - The world is facing the worst cocoa crisis in over 60 years, triggered by climate change, extreme weather, and poor harvests in Ghana and Ivory Coast. With supply shrinking and prices skyrocketing, the future of chocolate—and global food security—is under serious threat. - SEBI has exposed a front-running scam involving KPIT Technologies and a shell company linked to brokerage Anand Rathi. This case reveals how confidential client orders were misused for profit—highlighting the growing threat of stock market manipulation in India.
