Recasts, adds source-based information throughout

By Gopika Gopakumar and Vibhuti Sharma

Jan 7 (Reuters) - TPG Capital is in talks to buy a stake of up to 20% in Indian securities firm IIFL Capital Services IIFS.NS, according to two sources familiar with the deal.

Due diligence is underway on the deal, they said. If completed, the deal could make TPG a strategic investor with a say in management decisions, marking the latest in a series of foreign bets on the Indian financial sector.

U.S. buyout group TPG TPG.O, TPG Capital's parent, declined to comment, while IIFL Capital Services did not respond to a request for comment.

Earlier on Wednesday, local newspaper the Economic Times reported that TPG was closing in on a deal to acquire 30% to 40% of IIFL Capital Services. The deal size was estimated to be in the range of 36.36 billion rupees to 48.48 billion rupees ($404.3 million to $539.1 million).

Both Reuters sources said the deal would be smaller with an initial purchase of up to 20%.

Reuters could not determine the size of the deal.

IIFL Capital Services shares rose as much as 5.3% to 411.30 rupees in early trading before paring gains to trade 1.4% higher in the afternoon session. Last year, its shares rose about 11%.

IIFL Group founder Nirmal Jain has said he plans to enter new businesses like alternative investment funds and private credit, one of the sources said.

Wealth management could also be an area targeted by the firm, the second source said.

Assets under management of the country's wealth management industry are expected to more than double to $2.3 trillion by the 2028-2029 financial year from $1.1 trillion in 2023-2024, according to a Deloitte report from last year.

Oct 3 (Reuters) - Shares of Indian brokerages fell on Thursday after the markets regulator tightened rules for trading in derivatives.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Tuesday lowered the number of weekly options contracts available to trade for investors to one per exchange and raised the minimum trading amount by nearly three times. The changes will be implemented on Nov. 20.

Discount brokers 5Paisa Capital PAIS.NS and larger peer Angel One ANGO.NS were among the biggest losers, dropping 2.7% and 3.3%, respectively.

Indian stock exchanges were closed on Wednesday for a local holiday.

The measures will hit discount brokers that have a large clientele of retail traders the most, as well as exchanges, Jefferies said in a note.

Repeats story published on July 19 with no changes to text

By Bharath Rajeswaran

BENGALURU, July 19 (Reuters) - India unveils its budget on July 23 in the first major policy announcement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third five-year term, which could usher in changes to economic priorities.

After a shock election result saw Modi's party returned to power relying on allies, the government is expected to boost consumption in Asia's third-largest economy by lowering personal taxes or increasing spending on consumer-focused areas.

While that could benefit consumer goods makers, real estate and housing finance firms as well as infrastructure and auto companies, some sectors could also stand to lose, said brokerages.

Here are some of their winners and losers.

RURAL-LINKED SECTORS

The government is expected to allocate more funds for rural schemes to stimulate consumption, aiding consumer goods makers like Hindustan Unilever HLL.NS and two-wheeler makers like TVS Motor TVSM.NS and Hero MotoCorp HROM.NS, according to Citi.

A less than 5%-7% increase in tobacco taxes could be a positive for ITC ITC.NS, the country's largest cigarette maker, according to Jefferies.

REAL ESTATE

The government is likely to allocate more funds for affordable housing, benefitting developers such as Macrotech Developers MACE.NS and Sunteck Realty SUNT.NS, Citi said.

Moreover, the introduction of an interest subsidy scheme for urban housing would boost financiers like Aavas Financiers AVAS.NS and Home First Finance HOME.NS, said Jefferies.

AUTOMAKERS

India doled out subsidies worth 115 billion rupees ($1.38 billion) over five years to drive the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and Macquarie expects the government to retain both the quantum and tenure in its latest scheme.

That could benefit Tata Motors TAMO.NS, India's top e-car maker, as well as IPO-bound e-scooter maker Ola Electric and e-bus makers Olectra Greentech OLEC.NS and JBM Auto JBMA.NS.

Conversely, lesser-than-expected EV subsidies could benefit Maruti Suzuki MRTI.NS, India's highest-selling car maker and one that has chosen to make hybrid cars over pure EVs.

MANUFACTURING

The push on production-linked incentive schemes, which incentivises local manufacturing and creates jobs, is expected to continue, according to HSBC.

That will help manufacturers of technology hardware, telecom equipment, electronics and medical devices among others, like Dixon Technologies DIXO.NS, Ideaforge Technology IDEF.NS, Biocon BION.NS.

Capital goods companies like Larsen & Toubro LART.NS and infrastructure firms could benefit from the likely rise in capital expenditure in the budget, according to Jefferies.

TRADING

Any change in capital gains tax -- either by raising the holding period or tax rate -- could be a dampener for equities, Morgan Stanley said, though it says such moves are unlikely.

But, if enacted, they would increase the tax burden on equity and mutual fund investors, eroding the tax advantage they enjoy over investors in other asset classes.

It could also lead to lower trading volumes, weighing on brokerages Motilal Oswal MOFS.NS, ICICI Securities ICCI.NS, Angel One ANGO.NS, 5 Paisa PAIS.NS among others.

The country's mutual fund association has petitioned that mutual fund units be exempted from long-term capital gains tax.

The government and regulators also want to rein derivatives trading -- which has largely powered the stock market's rally since the COVID-19 pandemic -- calling it risky and speculative.

Any move to do so, such as through higher taxes, will not only weigh on the market but also reduce trading volumes and in turn, affect brokerages and trading platforms, Jefferies said.

Updates with comments from India IT minister, details

By Jayshree P Upadhyay and Jaspreet Kalra

MUMBAI, July 19 (Reuters) - Several Indian airlines and airports and traders at some brokerages said they faced technical and operational disruptions on Friday amid a global IT outage.

India's minister for information technology in a post on X said the ministry was in touch with Microsoft and its associates regarding the global outage.

An update to a product offered by global cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike CRWD.O appeared to be the trigger, affecting customers using Microsoft's MSFT.O Windows Operating System. Microsoft said later on Friday the issue had been fixed.

"The reason for this outage has been identified and updates have been released to resolve the issue," India's minister for information technology Ashwini Vaishnaw said.

"We are currently experiencing technical challenges with our service provider, affecting online services including booking, check-in, and manage booking functionalities," Indian airline SpiceJet SPJT.BO said on social media platform X.

Indigo, Akasa Air, Vistara, Air India and Air India Express also posted messages on X saying they were facing issues.

New Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai and Mumbai airports said they too faced some IT issues and some services were temporarily affected.

While India's brokerage firms faced technical issues, stock exchanges were not impacted. NSE and BSE said that their operations were running normally.

Among the brokerages in India, Nuvama Wealth Management NUVA.NS, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, Motilal Oswal, IIFL Securities IIFS.NS, 5Paisa Capital PAIS.NS and Angel Broking are facing technical difficulties, traders at the brokerages told Reuters.

Edelweiss Mutual Fund posted on X that its systems were facing login issues which it was working to resolve. Nuvama in a statement to Reuters said it had seen a limited impact due to the global outage.

Other brokerage firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

India's interbank trading platforms were functioning, however, and banks said they were able to execute bonds and foreign exchange transactions without any issues.

Banking sources said that the major banks have not faced any technical issues.

A source at the country's central bank said they were aware of the global outage but their systems were functional.

Major U.S. airlines also issued ground stops citing communications issues while some other airlines, banks, media and hospitals around the world were also among those affected by the outage.

CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz said on X that the company was "actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts" and that a fix was being deployed.

"This is not a security incident or cyberattack," Kurtz said in the post.
