3 insights to kick-start the day, featuring Royal Enfield's:
Royal Enfield lines up pre-owned bikes; 71 companies get GST evasion notices; and Nifty 500 firms' carbon emission jump.
Royal Enfield (RE) has floated Reown, a company-operated pre-owned motorcycle business.
From RES perspective, its organised channel for used two-wheelers will further strengthen the brand as the bike maker will be able to set the right residual value for its models, which will help new vehicle sales, says Prathamesh Chaudhari, principal, automotive practice, Arthur D. Little India.
The market is still dominated by unorganised transactions holding a share of 85%-90%. But the organised segment is expected to chip in with a 25%-30% share in the next 5 years.
The government has served GST evasion notices worth INR1.12 lakh crore to 71 companies for FY23 and FY24 (till October).
This is the first official disclosure by the government on the GST tax amount. The real money gaming (RMG) companies like Dream 11 and Games 24x7 have been at the receiving end. In addition to this, according to an Indian Express report, INR24,000 crore tax evasion was detected by the GST personnel.
This comes after the government announced 28% GST on full-face value of bets that came into effect on October 1, 2023. There is no deadline for payment since the matter of retrospective GST is currently pending in courts. Dreamll has filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court challenging the INR40,000 crore tax notice it received. The verdict for Gameskraft's alleged INR21,000 crore tax evasion is pending in the Supreme Court and could serve as a deciding factor.
Investors have taken a cautious approach to the RMG sector. According to a report by EY, funding in online gaming has come down to INR835 crore from INR12,740 crore.
The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disclosed by Nifty 500 companies rose by 5% in FY23 compared to the previous year with NTPC topping the list, shows data.
