Yatayat Corporation, a logistics firm from Gujarat, has officially filed its draft prospectus with SEBI, signaling the start of its initial public offering.
The shares are planned to be listed on both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) once the IPO is completed.
Money from the new shares is expected to be used to pay down existing loans, support working‑capital needs and fund general corporate activities.
Yatayat focuses on full‑truck‑load (FTL) transport across major Indian freight corridors. It operates an asset‑light model, owning a small fleet while partnering with many independent truck owners. The firm also offers cross‑border services to Bangladesh and handles part‑load, express, over‑dimensional and multimodal freight through its subsidiary.
Unistone Capital is handling the book‑running for the issue. Investors can apply for the fresh issue or buy the promoter’s shares during the offer period, following standard IPO procedures on the stock exchanges.
The IPO gives retail investors a chance to own a piece of a growing logistics player that is expanding its network across India and into Bangladesh, while the company gains capital to reduce debt and fuel further growth.

Join TelegramSEBI has announced a tweak to the Basic Services Demat Account (BSDA) rules that will make it easier for small investors to qualify and reduce paperwork for depository participants. What the change means Effective from March 31, 2026, the regulator will no longer count Zero Coupon Zero Principal (ZCZP) bonds or delisted securities when calculating the value of a portfolio for BSDA eligibility. In simple terms, these assets will be ignored in the eligibility test. Why it matters for investors Lower compliance burden: Depository participants (DPs) won’t need to include hard‑to‑price securities in their calculations. Clearer eligibility: Investors with holdings under ₹10 lakh can more easily meet the BSDA threshold. Automatic conversion: If you qualify, the DP must convert your regular demat account to a BSDA unless you actively opt out. New quarterly review rule DPs will now reassess every demat account’s BSDA eligibility every quarter, rather than on an ad‑hoc basis. For illiquid securities, the last available closing price will be used, and if market prices are missing, the most recent traded price or NAV will apply. How the valuation works Listed securities: valued at daily closing price or NAV. Unlisted securities (except mutual fund units): face value can be taken. Illiquid securities: use the last closing price. Suspended, delisted, and ZCZP bonds: not considered for BSDA eligibility. Background on BSDA The BSDA was introduced in 2012 to give investors with small portfolios (under ₹10 lakh) a cheaper, simpler demat account option. By removing certain low‑liquidity assets from the eligibility calculation, SEBI aims to further reduce the cost and complexity for these investors. Remember, this is perspective, not prediction.

Investors often treat all money in the market the same, but fresh cash entering the market behaves differently from money that’s already invested. Understanding this split can help you navigate changing market moods. Why the distinction matters When new investors pour money into stocks, they usually chase recent winners or hot sectors. Existing investors, however, tend to hold on to their positions and react more cautiously. Mixing the two can mask the true direction of the market. How the macro mood influences fresh vs existing money Broad economic sentiment – such as interest‑rate moves, earnings outlooks, or geopolitical events – can shift the market’s tone. In a bullish mood, fresh money often fuels rapid price gains, while in a bearish mood, it may flow into safer assets, leaving existing stock holdings to bear the downside. Practical steps for retail investors Watch inflow data: Look at fund inflow reports to see if fresh money is entering equities or staying in cash. Separate your portfolio: Treat new contributions as a distinct “fresh‑money” bucket and decide whether to invest them in the same stocks as your existing holdings. Align with market mood: In a positive macro environment, consider allocating fresh money to growth stocks. In a negative environment, shift toward defensive sectors or keep cash on the sidelines. Bottom line Distinguishing fresh money from existing funds gives you a clearer picture of market dynamics. By recognizing how macro sentiment affects each, you can make smarter allocation choices and protect your portfolio against sudden swings. Remember, this is perspective, not prediction. Do your own research and consider your risk tolerance before acting.
Both major Indian stock exchanges and the top commodity exchanges will not trade on Thursday, Dec 25, as they observe the Christmas holiday. Trading picks up again on Friday. Today’s Market Closure The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) are closed for the holiday. The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) and the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) are also shut for both morning and afternoon sessions. All will reopen on Friday. Recent Market Movement Before the break, India’s benchmark indices ended a three‑day winning streak. The Nifty fell 35 points (0.13%) to 26,142.10, while the Sensex slipped 116 points (0.14%) to 85,408.70, mainly due to selling in IT and consumer stocks. Analyst Outlook Equity technical analyst Rajesh Bhosale says the market’s structure hasn’t changed much after Wednesday’s dip. He expects the Nifty to test its all‑time highs again soon. Current price action shows a short pause as traders keep positions light before the holiday. Key moving averages and momentum indicators remain supportive, indicating a generally positive tone. Resistance is likely around the 26,300–26,350 level; a breakout could lead to further upside. 2026 Holiday Calendar Snapshot Looking ahead, Indian equity, derivatives, and currency markets will observe 15 holidays in 2026, including Republic Day, Holi, Good Friday, and the year‑end Christmas break. Notably, Diwali falls on a Sunday in 2026, so there’s no extra trading holiday for that festival. What This Means for Traders With the market closed today, there’s no price movement, but it’s a good time to review positions and plan for the next session. Keep an eye on the resistance zone mentioned above and be ready for a potential bounce when trading resumes. Remember, this is perspective, not a prediction.
