Defence stocks get reality check

The Cabinet Committee of Security's latest approval for orders worth ₹21,100 crore is seen as a boost for defence companies such as Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) and Larsen and Toubro Ltd (L&T).

A pickup in approvals and orders, which had slowed for much of FY25, improves the medium-term revenue visibility of defence public sector undertakings (D-PSU). However, the execution of existing orders remains a major challenge for most of these firms.

A continued focus on order inflows, which leads to a sentimental uptick in stocks, might lead investors to miss the wood for the trees.

Defence capital spending fell 20% year-on-year in H1 FY25, but is expected to pick up in Q4 with multiple large orders lined up for finalization such as Sukhoi engines and SU-30 MKI, Antique Stock Broking Ltd said in a report on 27 December.

An uncertain outlook for interest rates. Businesses may be holding off on investment until the fog clears. In addition, history suggests that technology tends to spread in fits and starts. Consider use of the computer within American households, where the speed of adoption slowed in the late 1980s. This was a mere blip before the 1990s, when they invaded American homes.

Can I claim TDS refund despite missing return filing deadline?

I am an NRI living in Dubai and have investments in Indian listed stocks. One of the companies I invested in, did a buyback in March, on which Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) was deducted. At that time, I was advised by a friend that I could claim a refund of TDS at the time of filing my tax return due to the benefits of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA).
