Business News | IPO Valuations Decided by Market Forces, SEBI's Role is to Ensure Full Disclosures by Companies: SEBI Chief

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 6 (ANI): Amid concerns on overvaluations of recent IPO's, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Friday clarified that the market regulator's role is to ensure transparency with full disclosures and not decide the valuations of IPO's. He added that market forces decide valuations. Pandey added that SEBI's role is to ensure that investors have access to accurate and comprehensive information, allowing markets to determine share prices independently. Also Read | Bihar Assembly Elections 2025: PM Narendra Modi Invokes 'Chhathi Maiya' to Flay Opposition, Says 'Naamdars Mocked Maha Kumbh'. "SEBI always thinks of transparency. We don't determine valuations, and it remains on the 'eyes of the beholden' and the investor. We cannot intervene in the markets...and decide what would be the price of the shares. Share prices will be decided by the markets, depending on the opportunities," SEBI chief said. He added, "SEBI's main role is to ensure disclosures are robust. We have mandated font size and disclosure of comparatives. We are largely focused on information and disclosures; the rest has to be determined by the capital market itself." Also Read | PAK vs SA 2nd ODI 2025, Faisalabad Weather, Rain Forecast and Pitch Report: Here's How Weather Will Behave for Pakistan vs South Africa Cricket Match at Iqbal Stadium. On the subject of Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR), Pandey dismissed the notion that the standards are uniform across the board. He described India's BRSR framework as "fairly robust" and adapted to local requirements, "They are not one size fits all standards. In fact, India's BRSR regime is fairly robust and there is also a BRSR core." "So in case of BRSR, we have mandated 1,000 listed entities and in fact more than 1,200 companies are actually doing it. So that means there are more companies voluntarily to give it. And BRSR core where we have got 46 parameters which will be subject to assurance or assessment system. And there is also a gradual rollout of that. I think ESG roadmap is fairly robust and well thought of and also suitable to Indian needs," he added. BRSR is a sustainability reporting tool for disclosing non-financial performance in areas like Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG). Asked to respond on many PSUs companies lacking minimum number of independent directors on their Board, the SEBI chief said, "We will only request that the government and the different ministries to appoint the independent directors on time." Pandey also spoke about SEBI's approach to regulation, emphasizing the need to strike a balance between market development and investor protection. "Regulations play a constructive role for market development, but if the regulations become too constraining, too overreach, and too micromanaging, then they may become problematic," he said. He stressed that SEBI aims to maintain a framework that is "progressive" and "balanced." "We have to look after both the sides - the investors and the issuers - move forward in a 'balanced way'," he noted. Pandey cited the mutual fund industry as an example of how sound regulation can foster both trust and growth. "Because if the investor protection were not there, the market will also not grow. Take the instance of mutual funds, the mutual fund industry has grown and the investor trust into it also grew because of our regulations," he said.

Bihar Assembly Elections 2025: PM Narendra Modi Invokes ‘Chhathi Maiya’ to Flay Opposition, Says ‘Naamdars Mocked Maha Kumbh’

Patna, November 22: Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a blistering attack at the RJD-Cong-led Mahagathbandhan on Thursday, accusing them of ruining the state with their 'jungle raj', despite Bihar being the birthplace of social justice in previous decades. Addressing a mega rally in Araria district, the Prime Minister invoked ‘Chhathi Maiya’ to lambast the Opposition and called out their attempt to mock the most pious festival of Bihar by equating it with a drama. “Will you accept anyone referring to Chhathi Maiya as drama, will you accept anyone insulting Chhathi Maiya?” asked PM Modi, evoking a strong response from the gathering. PM Modi further slammed the ‘naamdars’, a reference to dynast leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav, and called out their ‘irreverence and disrespect’ for Maha Kumbh as well as Lord Ram. He said that the naamdars used to mock Maha Kumbh -- the month-long festival which saw crores of pilgrims taking holy dip in Prayagraj and saw devotees coming from across the world.

They don’t believe in Lord Ram, they didn’t visit Ayodhya, they didn’t attend Pran Pratistha,” PM Modi said. “You may dislike Lord Ram, but why can’t you visit Ayodhya and seek the blessings of Maharshi Valmiki, Mata Sabri, Nishad Raj... temples dedicated to them are also built in close vicinity,” he added. The Prime Minister said that this shows that they detest the backward population as well as Dalits; however, for the NDA, its only purpose is the empowerment and upliftment of all communities. Further seeking to draw a comparison between RJD’s jungle raj to NDA’s progressive governance, he stated that an entire generation’s future was destroyed because of them. Highlighting the jungle raj’s legacy, he said, “Zero highways, zero bridges were built in 15 years of jungle raj, zero sports complexes were built, zero tourist circuits were developed.” In contrast, PM Modi said the NDA government worked tirelessly to pull Bihar out of jungle raj.

IIT has opened in Patna, IIM has opened in Bodh Gaya, AIIMS has opened in Patna, the work on AIIMS Darbhanga is progressing rapidly, now Bihar also has a National Law University, IIIT is also there in Bhagalpur, and four central universities have also been established in Bihar,” said PM Modi, giving insight into developmental works undertaken in a decade-long rule of double-engine government.

Njihuni me vendet me cilësinë më të lartë të jetesës në botë, sipas Numbeos

Indeksi i Cilësisë së Jetës i Numbeo, një nga matësit më të përdorur globalisht për kushtet e jetesës, ka publikuar renditjen më të fundit për vitin 2025, duke reflektuar perceptimin e qytetarëve mbi mirëqenien, kostot, sigurinë dhe cilësinë e shërbimeve në vendet ku jetojnë. Sipas raportit, Zvicra mbetet ndër vendet me cilësinë më të lartë të jetesës në botë, falë fuqisë së madhe blerëse, nivelit të ulët të ndotjes, sistemit të avancuar shëndetësor dhe infrastrukturës së qëndrueshme. Vendet e Europës Perëndimore vijojnë të dominojnë renditjen edhe pas një dekade, duke dëshmuar që sistemet e tyre të forta të mirëqenies sociale dhe sigurisë mbeten shembull për pjesën tjetër të botës. Holanda është rasti më pozitiv në kontinent, me një rritje të ndjeshme në indeks është ngjitur me 12 vende që nga viti 2015, duke përmirësuar ndjeshëm transportin publik, kujdesin shëndetësor dhe balancën mes punës dhe jetës. Në të kundërt, Suedia ka pësuar një rënie të konsiderueshme: nga vendi i 3-të në 2015, në të 13-in në vitin 2025. Sipas analizës, arsyeja kryesore është rritja e krimit të organizuar, një fenomen që ka prekur sigurinë publike dhe perceptimin e jetesës. Aktualisht, vlerësohet se rreth 62 mijë persona janë të lidhur me rrjete kriminale që merren me trafik droge, trafikim njerëzor dhe pastrim parash. Nga ana tjetër, Kanadaja ka shënuar rënien më dramatike në indeks nga vendi i 9-të në 2015 në të 27-in këtë vit. Faktorët kryesorë që kanë ndikuar në këtë rënie janë kriza e banesave dhe vështirësitë në sistemin shëndetësor. Çmimet e pasurive të paluajtshme janë rritur shumë më shpejt se të ardhurat, duke bërë që përballueshmëria e banesave të jetë një shqetësim madhor. Sipas një sondazhi të Statistics Canada (2024), 45% e kanadezëve janë “shumë të shqetësuar” për aftësinë e tyre për të blerë ose përballuar qiranë e një banese. Një tjetër sfidë madhore për qytetarët është koha e gjatë e pritjes për trajtim shëndetësor. Sipas Institutit Fraser, pritja mesatare midis referimit nga mjeku i familjes dhe marrjes së trajtimit është tashmë 30 javë, krahasuar me vetëm 9.3 javë në vitin 1993 — një rritje prej 222%. Si matet cilësia e jetës sipas Numbeo Indeksi global i Numbeo mbështetet në sondazhe me përdorues nga e gjithë bota, duke analizuar perceptimet për tetë faktorë kryesorë: Fuqia blerëse Raporti i çmimit të banesës ndaj të ardhurave Kostoja e jetesës Kujdesi shëndetësor Koha e udhëtimit për në punë Rezultati për secilin vend përfaqëson një vlerësim të përgjithshëm të kushteve të jetesës, ku shifra më e lartë tregon një cilësi më të mirë jetese.

Heat’s Bam Adebayo shares concerning claim on injury after loss to Nuggets

The Miami Heat were dealt a major blow Wednesday night as Bam Adebayo exited early with a left foot injury during a 122-112 defeat at the hands of the Denver Nuggets. Adebayo left the game with 3:48 remaining in the first quarter after appearing to injure his foot while stepping during a transition play, finishing with only two points and one rebound on 1-of-5 shooting in eight minutes of action. After the game, the 28-year-old gave an update, according to the team: “I felt a pain in my foot so I took it upon myself to check myself out and go see what happened…,” he said. “We’ll figure it out. We’ll get more tests tomorrow and see how it goes.” Without Adebayo, Miami’s limited frontcourt depth became apparent, as Kel’el Ware became the only viable center on the roster, with Keshad Johnson and Nikola Jovic providing minimal support. Precious Achiuwa, previously part of the rotation, is now with the Sacramento Kings, and Vlad Goldin remains in the G League. Deprived of Adebayo, the Heat were unable to keep up with Denver’s size advantage. Nikola Jokic dominated with a 33-point, 15-rebound, 16-assist triple-double in 37 minutes, shooting 12-of-18 from the field and 2-of-5 from three-point range. The Nuggets outrebounded Miami 61-38, including a staggering 21 offensive rebounds that led to 22 second-chance points, while the Heat managed just 44 points in the paint. Aaron Gordon added 24 points, contributing to Denver’s 68-44 superiority on the glass. By the midpoint of the third quarter, Jokic had achieved his triple-double, taking control of the contest. Miami’s scoring efforts were led by Norman Powell with 23 points on 5-of-15 shooting, including 4-of-8 from three, Andrew Wiggins with 22 points on 9-of-13 shooting, and Jaime Jaquez Jr., who added 21 points off the bench on 9-of-14 shooting. Ware posted a double-double of 13 points and 13 rebounds, along with four steals, but the Heat’s frontcourt lacked the presence to match the Nuggets’ size and physicality. The defeat dropped Miami to 4-4 on the season and 1-3 on a four-game road trip. Miami has yet to win a regular-season game in Denver since 2016. They return home Friday to face the Charlotte Hornets at 8:00 p.m. EST, beginning a stretch where they will play six of their next seven games at home, including a compact schedule of five games in seven nights.

The crescent and star divide: Ankara’s golden child just ran away from home

While the world’s attention has been consumed by major global crises – and by US President Donald Trump’s bombshell statements – a quiet but consequential shift has taken place in the Eastern Mediterranean. It’s a story that has barely made international headlines, yet it may reshape the balance of power not only on this island, but across the region. Last month, voters in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) – an unrecognized state under Ankara’s patronage – elected a new president. Tufan Erhurman, leader of the left-leaning Republican Turkish Party, scored a decisive victory with more than 62% of the vote, defeating former President Ersin Tatar, who had campaigned on a hardline pro-Turkish, “two-state” agenda. Turnout reached nearly 65%, a sign of strong political engagement among Turkish Cypriots. Erhurman’s win marks more than just a change in leadership. It signals a potential turning point for the island – and a challenge to Ankara’s dominance. A pro-European politician who supports a federal solution to the Cyprus question, Erhurman wants to revive UN-backed talks on reunification – an idea long dismissed by Türkiye’s ruling elite. Ankara’s uneasy celebration The election results triggered mixed reactions within Türkiye’s political establishment, exposing internal contradictions among the ruling elites over the Cyprus issue. Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz took a cautious stance, describing the vote as proof of the TRNC’s “democratic maturity.” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also congratulated Erhurman. Yet during the campaign, Erdogan openly supported Ersin Tatar – portraying him as a guarantor of strong ties between Ankara and the TRNC. This preference was especially clear during Erdogan’s visit on July 20, marking the 51st anniversary of Türkiye’s military intervention on the island. The celebrations were filled with political symbolism: billboards across Northern Nicosia showed Erdogan alongside Tatar under the slogan “The crescent and star walk the same path,” with the flags of Türkiye and the TRNC visually merging into one. Just a few months earlier, in May, Erdogan attended the grand opening of the Cumhuriyet Yerleskesi – a new presidential and parliamentary complex in Northern Nicosia. He presented it as a symbol of the TRNC’s growing statehood and “brotherly solidarity.” Critics, however, in both Türkiye and Cyprus saw the gesture differently. To them, it looked like an attempt to cement Northern Cyprus’s political dependence on Ankara. Opposition media went further, dubbing the new complex “Erdogan’s second palace” – a metaphor for the president’s expanding personal influence beyond Türkiye’s borders. A diplomatic reach that meets its limits Erdogan has long pushed for the international recognition of Northern Cyprus, trying to move the Cyprus issue beyond the framework of UN-led negotiations and into the sphere of so-called Turkic solidarity. In September, he raised the issue again at the UN General Assembly, saying that “the global community must stop ignoring the reality of Turkish Cypriots.” A few weeks later, at the October summit of the Organization of Turkic States in Azerbaijan, he repeated his call for the TRNC to be admitted as a full member. Yet even Türkiye’s closest allies – Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan – refused to back the initiative. The geopolitical risks of alienating the EU and the UN were too high. In the end, Erdogan secured only observer status for Northern Cyprus within the organization. This outcome marked a clear limit to Ankara’s diplomatic reach. Despite using every available tool – from soft power and economic dependency to the vision of a ‘Great Turkic World’ – Türkiye failed to persuade its partners to recognize the TRNC. The nationalists push back Devlet Bahceli, leader of the Nationalist Movement Party and a long-time ally of President Erdogan, reacted sharply to the election results. Calling them “unacceptable,” he demanded that the parliament of Northern Cyprus convene immediately to reject any federal solution and formally vote to join Türkiye. Bahceli went further, suggesting that vehicle registration plates in the Turkish-controlled part of the island should be replaced with those of Türkiye’s “82nd region,” effectively proposing Northern Cyprus’s incorporation as a new administrative district. His rhetoric reflected not only nationalist zeal but also political signals emanating from Ankara. Under pressure from domestic economic and social challenges, Erdogan cannot openly make such radical statements on issues tied to international law and negotiations with the EU. Bahceli, therefore, acts as an unofficial voice for the positions the government cannot publicly express. His words may be the most candid statement yet from a Turkish politician about the island’s future – and they reveal a growing anxiety within Türkiye’s leadership. A turning point for both sides of the island Erhurman responded firmly to Bahceli’s remarks, calling them disrespectful to the right of Turkish Cypriots to self-determination. He noted that Northern Cyprus consults with Türkiye on foreign policy matters but “has never been part of Turkish territory.” He emphasized that the key goal is to preserve democratic maturity and avoid rhetoric that undermines trust and mutual respect between peoples. For Erhurman, rigid insistence on isolation has brought nothing but economic and social hardship to the Turkish Cypriot community. He reiterated his willingness to resume UN-led negotiations aimed at the reunification of the island within a federal framework governed by a single administration. This, he said, remains “the only path to lasting peace and integration into Europe.” Nikos Christodoulides, president of the Republic of Cyprus, welcomed Erhurman’s electoral victory and expressed hope for an early meeting. He confirmed his readiness for substantive dialogue on the Cyprus issue, noting that the new political landscape “creates a window of opportunity for rebuilding trust and overcoming years of division.” For the Greek Cypriot leadership, Erhurman’s win is seen as a chance to revive long-stalled UN negotiations on reunification. While deep mistrust remains, Nicosia views the new administration in the north as a potential partner capable of breaking the deadlock. Ankara’s strategic anxiety Ankara’s reaction to the election results goes beyond politics. For Türkiye’s leadership, the outcome represents not just a domestic setback, but a potential threat to its strategic position in the Eastern Mediterranean. If the new administration in Northern Cyprus resumes negotiations and moves toward reunification, Ankara fears that the process could unfold under Greek and EU influence. In that scenario, Northern Cyprus might gradually drift out of Türkiye’s orbit, aligning instead with Athens and Brussels. Turkish analysts warn that such a shift would weaken the country’s geopolitical architecture – one built on maintaining control over key points in the Eastern Mediterranean and northern Syria. For decades, Northern Cyprus has served as a crucial extension of Türkiye’s regional strategy – both as a political ally and as a forward base securing Ankara’s access to energy routes, maritime zones, and surveillance operations. The idea of losing that foothold, even symbolically, raises serious concerns within the Turkish establishment. Devlet Bahceli warned that the elections in Northern Cyprus could have far-reaching consequences for the wider region. If Turkish Cypriots succeed in pursuing federalization and secure institutional guarantees within a unified Cyprus, he argued, similar demands might emerge among other ethnic and religious groups across the Middle East – particularly among the Kurds and Druze in Syria. From a nationalist perspective, such a development would set a dangerous precedent. It could encourage autonomy movements near Türkiye’s borders and challenge the territorial integrity of neighboring states – including Türkiye itself. For Ankara’s hardliners, a federal Cyprus looks like a strategic trap – one that could erode the very foundations of Türkiye’s influence in the region. An economy bound to Ankara Northern Cyprus remains an area of Türkiye’s dominant influence. Key infrastructure projects – from transportation networks and water supply systems to energy grids and telecommunications – are built and managed by Turkish companies operating with state support. Most funding for construction, energy imports, and public administration comes directly from Türkiye’s budget. This financial lifeline effectively turns the TRNC into an economically dependent subsystem integrated into Türkiye’s broader economic framework. For Ankara, this dependence is a strategic instrument. Economic control allows Türkiye to maintain a direct presence in one of the most sensitive parts of the Mediterranean, securing both political leverage and long-term influence. The island’s position adds another layer of importance. Its proximity to the Suez route and the Syrian coast makes control over Northern Cyprus central to Türkiye’s defense and intelligence strategy. The Gecitkale Airbase hosts Turkish aircraft and drones that monitor maritime and military activity across the Eastern Mediterranean – a reminder that for Ankara, the island is as much a geopolitical outpost as it is a political statement. The case for the status quo Former President Ersin Tatar repeatedly emphasized this strategic logic during his campaign. He warned that adopting a federal model, as proposed by Erhurman, would inevitably lead to the withdrawal of Turkish troops from the island and the loss of Türkiye’s most important foothold in the Eastern Mediterranean. Tatar argued that preserving the current status quo is essential to Türkiye’s national security. In his view, Northern Cyprus is a linchpin in Ankara’s wider defense and foreign policy – a front line in the ongoing contest over maritime borders, energy routes, and regional power balance. He described Northern Cyprus as a “strategic shield” that protects Türkiye’s southern flank, insisting that any shift toward reunification would weaken this defense and embolden Türkiye’s rivals. For him and his supporters, maintaining the division of the island is not an obstacle to peace but a necessary condition for stability. Missteps and miscalculations Bulent Arinc, co-founder of Türkiye’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AK), harshly criticized the campaign and the strategic mistakes that led to Tatar’s defeat. According to Arinc, Turkish political circles that openly backed Tatar displayed “flawed and clumsy” tactics. He pointed to the campaign’s weak organization and the use of questionable public figures and celebrities, which only damaged Tatar’s credibility. Fake polls suggesting his inevitable victory, Arinc said, created a false sense of security and prevented the team from adjusting its strategy in time. He also highlighted a cultural disconnect that alienated many voters. The campaign relied on nationalist symbols and folk songs from Türkiye’s Black Sea region – motifs that felt foreign to Turkish Cypriots, who generally hold more moderate and pro-European views. For Arinc, the election served as proof that mechanically exporting Ankara’s political playbook to Northern Cyprus no longer works. What once guaranteed influence now exposes its limits. The waning reach of Ankara The elections in Northern Cyprus are more than a local political story; they signal a broader shift in the region’s balance of power. Erhurman’s victory reflects not only changing attitudes within the Turkish Cypriot community but also deeper political undercurrents inside Türkiye itself. The ruling Justice and Development Party’s confrontational approach toward domestic opposition has shaped its dealings abroad – and the loss of a loyal ally in the TRNC mirrors the growing limits of that strategy. Erhurman, who leads the Republican Turkish Party, is ideologically close to Türkiye’s main opposition, the Republican People’s Party (CHP). His win is therefore symbolically and politically sensitive for Ankara. Amid rising economic pressures and an increasingly divided electorate at home, the outcome in Northern Cyprus signals more than a diplomatic setback. It reveals the erosion of Erdogan’s ability to control even those political structures most reliant on Türkiye. If Erhurman follows through on his campaign promises – seeking a federal solution to the Cyprus issue, strengthening ties with the European Union, and asserting greater political autonomy from Ankara – Türkiye could face a genuine geopolitical loss. Northern Cyprus, long seen as a loyal outpost, may begin to slip from Ankara’s grasp. For Erdogan, who has built his image on restoring Türkiye’s global stature, losing political control over the TRNC would be more than a regional disappointment. It would be a symbolic blow – proof that the era of Ankara’s uncontested influence in the Eastern Mediterranean is coming to an end.

World News | Japan Pledges Continued Support for Ukraine in First Phone Talks with Zelenskyy

Tokyo [Japan], November 6 (ANI): Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Wednesday reaffirmed Japan's continued support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia's invasion during her first phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy since assuming office last month, Kyodo News reported. During the 30-minute conversation, Takaichi said Japan would continue aiding Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction and expressed strong backing for the war-torn nation's efforts to achieve a "just and lasting peace as soon as possible," according to the Foreign Ministry. Kyodo News added that Zelenskyy conveyed appreciation for Japan's contributions to date. Also Read | UN Mission in Afghanistan Suspends Border Services Citing Denial of Work Permits to Women Staff. The leaders also discussed security and development cooperation, with Ukraine's presidential office noting that the two nations "share an understanding of the dangers that Russia's war poses to everyone in the world." Kyodo News reported that both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining close collaboration. Japan has consistently supported Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, viewing the security of Europe and the Indo-Pacific as interconnected. Alongside the United States and other Group of Seven members, Japan has imposed economic sanctions on Russia, including asset freezes, Kyodo News said.

Kyodo News reported that Japan recently announced measures to help Ukraine address landmine impacts, including training demining personnel and improving medical and welfare services for victims. During the call, Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for Japan's readiness to supply equipment to support Ukraine's energy sector, enabling communities to withstand the winter cold. Later on Wednesday, Takaichi also held her first phone talks with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. She expressed eagerness to elevate bilateral ties to "greater heights" as the two countries advance cooperation on security and economic issues. They also agreed to deepen collaboration among like-minded nations to uphold a "free, open and stable international order," the Japanese Foreign Ministry said.

Karnataka Shocker: Depressed Over Wife’s Desertion, Man Dies by Suicide After Killing 5-Year-Old Daughter

Kolar, November 6: An incident of a father killing his 5-year-old daughter and himself following desertion by his wife has been reported from Kolar district of Karnataka on Thursday. The deceased were identified as 37-year-old Lokesh, a resident of Madiyanuru village in Mulbagal taluk and his daughter, 5-year-old Niharika. According to preliminary investigations, Lokesh's wife had deserted him following a dispute in the family recently. Disturbed by the desertion, Lokesh first strangled his daughter to death, and later he hanged himself from a tree. The deceased girl's body was found in the car. The incident took place within the Mulbagal Rural police station limits. The police have taken up further investigation. More details are yet to emerge regarding the incident.

Carrara (Gold Coast): Australia have won the toss and elected to bowl first against India in the fourth T20I at the Carrara Oval Thursday.

After winning the toss, Australia skipper Mitchell Marsh said Adam Zampa, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Phillipe and Ben Dwarshius come in as the four changes due to first-choice players like Travis Head and Sean Abbott going to play the Sheffield Shield in preparation for the Ashes. “We don’t play a lot here.

The preparation has been good. “We had a day off, and had a good practice session yesterday. It looks like a subcontinent wicket; later on, it might get slower, so we are happy to bat first.
