IEX clarifies on CERC's market coupling draft norms

IEX clarifies on CERC's market coupling draft norms - Corporate & Business - 1 min read IEX clarifies on CERC's market coupling draft norms Indian Energy Exchange on Monday said it is not aware of any undisclosed information that could explain the recent fall in its share price, following reports around draft market coupling norms issued by the power sector regulator. "This is a regulatory consultative exercise initiated by the regulator, and not the outcome of any negotiations, arrangements, or events," IEX said in its exchange filing. In a clarification to the exchange, the company said the news item referring to a nearly 6% decline in its shares was linked to a draft notification issued by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) proposing amendments to the Power Market Regulations, 2021. The draft regulations, released for stakeholder consultation, are already in the public domain, IEX said. The exchange added that the proposed amendments are a continuation of CERC’s suo motu order dated July 23, 2025, which had directed the implementation of market coupling in the Day-Ahead Market segment with effect from January 2026. That order had been duly disclosed to stock exchanges earlier in line with Sebi’s listing regulations. "This is a regulatory consultative exercise initiated by the regulator, and not the outcome of any negotiations or arrangements involving the company," IEX said, responding to queries from the exchange. It also clarified that it is not aware of any material information that has not been disclosed and which could explain the movement in the stock.

TCS Nashik case: No court relief for absconding pregnant employee

TCS Nashik case: No court relief for absconding pregnant employee NASHIK: A Nashik court denied interim relief to the absconding pregnant employee in the alleged TCS sexual harassment and religious coercion case. Her counsel had moved an application seeking interim protection pending the hearing of her anticipatory bail plea. Meanwhile, the complainant’s lawyer filed an application seeking time to submit a written response, which the court allowed, granting time till April 27. The court will now hear both the anticipatory bail application and the interim relief plea on April 27. The lawyer of the absconding female accused, Rahul Kasliwal, told the court, “Casual talk on religion does not amount to hurting religious sentiments.” A 26-year-old woman employee accused in a case of alleged “religious harassment” at the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Nashik office has moved the Nashik Road Sessions Court seeking anticipatory bail, citing pregnancy among the grounds for relief. Her lawyer, Baba Sayyed, told TOI on Saturday, “We have applied for the anticipatory bail plea of our client in the court of Nashik Road Sessions Judge Kedar Joshi, and the court will hear our plea on Monday.” Sayyed, along with advocate Rahul Kasliwal, who filed the application, said multiple grounds had been cited in the plea. “One of the grounds is that she is not the main accused. Secondly, the punishment is up to three years in the case pertaining to hurting religious sentiments filed against my client. Hence, we have sought her pre-arrest bail.” (This is a developing story)

5. Setback for Vijay: Madras HC flags 'Rs 100 cr irregularity' in TVK chief's affidavit

Setback for Vijay: Madras HC flags 'Rs 100 cr irregularity' in TVK chief's affidavit

Setback for Vijay: Madras HC flags 'Rs 100 cr irregularity' in TVK chief's affidavit NEW DELHI: In a setback to actor-turned-politician Vijay, who is leading TVK’s political debut in the Tamil Nadu elections, the Madras high court on Monday admitted a plea seeking an Income Tax probe into his asset declarations. While hearing the matter, the court orally observed a discrepancy of over Rs 100 crore in the affidavit and issued notice in the case. More than 100 crores has not been disclosed", the court orally remarked as per. A Bench comprising chief justice SA Dharmadhikari and Justice G Arul Murugan issued notices to Vijay, along with the Director General of Income Tax (Investigation), the Election Commission of India (ECI), and the Returning Officers for the Perambur and Tiruchirappalli (East) constituencies. The petitioner has alleged that the disappearance of a high-value asset amounts to a clear case of suppression of assets, raising serious concerns regarding beneficial ownership, routing of funds, and the concealment of material particulars. It has further been contended that such a discrepancy between declarations cannot be attributed to a clerical error or approximation. According to the plea, the only reasonable inference is that either one of the affidavits is false or the corresponding corporate filings are inaccurate, thereby warranting a thorough investigation in either scenario. If such irregularities are ultimately established, the consequences could be dire.
