SEBI ka naya weapon: Open Market Buybacks
Ye wala buyback pehle wale tareeke se alag hai. Ab companies zyada flexible hain ki kab aur kaise kharidna hai. Pata hai kyun? Finance Act, 2026 ke baad, buybacks par tax wahi lagta hai jo capital gains par lagta hai. Toh yeh ek accha option ban gaya hai companies ke liye apna extra paisa use karne ka aur stock price ko stable rakhne ka. Especially jab March 2026 mein Sensex aur Nifty 10% tak gir gaye the, tab yeh bahut zaruri hai.
Economic headwind aur inflation ka dar
Par, situation itni bhi aasan nahi hai. Global tensions ki wajah se West Asia mein oil prices bohot badh gayi hain. Brent crude $70 se seedha $122 cross kar gaya hai March 2026 tak. Isse India ka import cost badh raha hai, rupaya record low par aa gaya hai (₹95.21 against USD on March 31, 2026), aur inflation ki chinta bhi badh rahi hai. Moody's ne toh India ka GDP growth forecast kam karke 6% kar diya hai FY27 ke liye. Manufacturing bhi 45 mahine mein sabse neeche chala gaya hai March 2026 mein.
Company valuations aur buyback ka asar
Ab dekhte hain kuch companies ka haal. Infosys jaise badi IT company ka market cap ₹5.26 lakh crore hai aur P/E ratio 17-18.8 ke aas paas hai. GHCL ka P/E 8.17-9.3 aur market cap ₹4,100 crore hai. Bajaj Consumer Care ka P/E 26.77-31.94 hai aur market cap ₹4,500 crore. eClerx Services ka P/E 10.6 se 20.36 aur market cap ₹13,600 crore hai. Buybacks stock ko thoda support de sakte hain, par kya yeh lambe time tak value add kar payenge, khaas kar ke Bajaj Consumer Care jaise high P/E wale stocks mein, woh dekhna padega. March 2026 mein jab bade indexes gire the, tab sirf buybacks se sab bach jayega aisa nahi hai.
Potential risks aur problems
Risks bhi kam nahi hain. Yeh ho sakta hai ki price discovery mein problem aaye. Sabko mauka na mile kharidne ka. Pehle bhi iske misuse aur sabko equal chance na milne ki complaints aayi thi. SEBI ne kuch rules banaye hain, jaise daily purchase average traded value ke 25% se zyada na ho aur price 1% band mein rahe, par inka implementation aur oversight zaruri hai. Aur woh oil shock aur inflation waali chizen buybacks ke fayde ko bhi kha sakte hain.
Future outlook
Overall, investment bankers aur industry groups toh SEBI ke is move ko support kar rahe hain. JM Financial jaise analysts Infosys par 'Buy' rating de rahe hain, keh rahe hain ki fundamental strength matter karti hai. Companies ke paas ab capital use karne ke aur options hain. Lekin sabki nazar is baat par hai ki SEBI ka oversight kitna sakht hota hai aur global tensions kab kam hoti hain, tabhi buybacks ka asli fayda dikhega.
