Bharat Electronics told the exchanges on 17 September 2026 that it has received additional orders worth ₹648 crore since its previous order disclosure on 26 August 2026.

Asia is firmly risk-on after the Bank of Japan delivered the hike everyone expected — 25bps to 1.25%, its highest in roughly three decades, on a split 7–2 vote — but the bigger prize for India is that US Treasury yields have backed off their 2007 highs, letting Wall Street rebound hard overnight. US prior close (Thursday) Dow 51,779.85 (+0.62%) · S&P 500 7,637.72 (+1.14%) · Nasdaq 26,418.30 (+1.69%), per TheStreet.

The Fed did what was priced in, then said the part markets didn't want to hear — a 25bp hike to 3.75-4%, with 16 of 18 policymakers penciling in at least one more before year-end . GIFT Nifty still points to a near-flat open, but the global cost of money just went up, and that decides India's day.

The split is the story — rate-sensitive and cyclical names wore it, megacap tech barely moved. First hike since 2023, and unanimous (Reuters). Warsh did the damage in the presser — the economy has strengthened, inflatio…

Global markets are in a cautious, risk-off crouch this morning, and the single biggest swing factor for Indian equities is tonight's US Federal Reserve decision (roughly 11:30 PM IST) — with elevated crude, a near-record-weak rupee and a 5% US 10-year yield all keeping the bulls on a short leash. Wall Street: lower into the Fed US stocks slipped in the prior session as traders de-risked ahead of the Fed and Treasury yields punched to multi-year highs.
