Zee scrip crosses Rs 100 as CAS deadline is extended
MUMBAI: The barometer 30-stock Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensex continued its ascent; gained 53.92 points (weekly gain) to settle at 3,676.26 as compared to 3,622.34 on 4 July. The S&P CNX NSE Nifty also gained 23.20 points and ended the day at 1161.65 as compared to 1,138.45 on 4 July.
The BSE sensex hit its 16-month high on 10 July as Infosys Technologies raised its earning per share forecast for the full year. Share prices also gained on improved sentiments for tech stocks and announcements by the government about its intention to sell its stocks in divested public sector companies.
The Zee Telefilms counter witnessed heavy action as media reports indicated that the promoter’s stake in the Subhash Chandra company has fallen below 51 per cent. Reports stated that Chandra continued to hold 23.5 per cent even as an overseas body owned by the promoters reduced its holding to 27 per cent. FIIs have hiked their stake to 29.4 per cent (up from 26.6 per cent). The report also states that the increase in the share price can be attributed to the delay in the implementation of CAS. However, market perception says that Zee Telefilms will gain due to higher advertising revenues in the post CAS scenario.

NEW DELHI: Hamdard Laboratories gathered a cross-section of India’s achievers in New Delhi on Friday, handing out the Hakeem Abdul Hameed Excellence Awards to figures who have left their mark across healthcare, education, sport, public service and the arts.
The ceremony, attended by minister of state for defence Sanjay Seth and senior officials from the ministry of Ayush, celebrated individuals whose work blends professional success with a sense of public purpose. It was as much a roll call of achievement as it was a reminder that influence is not measured only in profits or podiums, but in people reached and lives improved.
Among the headline awardees was Alakh Pandey, founder and chief executive of PhysicsWallah, recognised for turning affordable digital learning into a mass movement. On the sporting front, Arjuna Awardee and kabaddi player Sakshi Puniya was honoured for her contribution to the game and for pushing women’s participation onto bigger stages.
The cultural spotlight fell on veteran lyricist and poet Santosh Anand, whose songs have echoed across generations of Hindi cinema. At 97, Anand accepted the honour with characteristic humility, reflecting on a life shaped by perseverance and hope.
Healthcare honours spanned both modern and traditional systems. Manoj N. Nesari was recognised for strengthening Ayurveda’s place in national and global health frameworks. Padma shri Mohammed Abdul Waheed was honoured for his research-backed work in Unani medicine, while padma shri Mohsin Wali received recognition for his long-standing contribution to patient-centred care.
Education and social development also featured prominently. Padma shri Zahir Ishaq Kazi was honoured for decades of work in education, while former Meghalaya superintendent of Police T. C. Chacko was recognised for public service. Goonj founder Anshu Gupta received an award for his dignity-centred rural development initiatives, and the Hunar Shakti Foundation was honoured for empowering women and young girls through skill development.
The Lifetime Achievement Award went to former IAS officer Shailaja Chandra for her long career in public healthcare and governance, particularly in the traditional systems under Ayush.
Speaking at the event, Hamdard chairman Abdul Majeed said the awards were a tribute to those who combine excellence with empathy. “These awardees reflect Hakeem Sahib’s belief that healthcare, education and public service must ultimately serve humanity,” he said.
Minister Seth struck a forward-looking note, saying India’s young population gives the country a unique opportunity to become a global destination for learning, health and wellness by 2047.
The ceremony also featured the trailer launch of Unani Ki Kahaani, an upcoming documentary starring actor Jim Sarbh, set to premiere on Discovery on 11 February.
Instituted in memory of Unani scholar and educationist Hakeem Abdul Hameed, the awards have grown into a national platform that celebrates those building a more inclusive and resilient India. For one evening at least, the spotlight was not just on success, but on service with substance.
