Market investors will be closely watching the performance of several companies on October 10th. Let’s take a look at the companies that are likely to be in focus:
Maruti Suzuki: Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, the country’s largest carmaker, announced on Monday its plan to invest up to Rs 1.25 trillion by 2030-31.

Adani Group: Adani Group has recently released a statement condemning the UK-based newspaper Financial Times for their alleged ‘malicious campaign’.

Tata Steel: Fitch Ratings upgraded the Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of Tata Steel from ‘BB+’ to ‘BBB-‘ after the reduction in uncertainty and financial risk from its UK operations. This upgrade came following the revision of Tata Steel Limited’s standalone credit profile to ‘bb+’ from ‘bb’. The upgrade indicates an alleviating risk from UK Operations.
Hindustan Zinc: Vedanta Ltd, the parent company of Hindustan Zinc, announced on Monday that the tax authorities have imposed a penalty of Rs 1.81 crore on Hindustan Zinc.
