New Delhi: Gujarat Budget 2023-24 Latest Updates: Gujarat Finance minister Kanubhai Desai presented the state budget for FY 2023–24 in the Assembly on Friday announcing sops for the middle class and giving major thrust to infrastructure. 

The budget for Gujarat contained no new levies for the general public.

Stock Market Live Updates: Brokerage Anand Rathi Manitains Buy Rating on MapMyIndia 

"MapMyIndia’s 9M FY23 revenue grew 45.7% y/y (org. 23.4%) to Rs2.1bn. Its A&M business (bringing 53.8% to revenue) grew 51.1% y/y, and its C&E business (46.2%) grew 40.1% y/y. The 9M EBITDA margin was flat y/y at 42.2%, chiefly due to higher marketing expenses and high growth in the IoT business. This initially compresses margins as device hardware has lower margins, but then (12 months down) generates high margin SaaS revenue. Factoring in all this, we cut our FY23e/FY24e EBITDA 4.4%/7.4% and introduce FY25e. We retain our Buy rating on the stock with a lower TP of Rs1,500 (45x FY25 earnings). Given MMI’s clear advantages in the context of India, which are not easily replicable and huge barriers to the maps-and-navigation business, we believe its premium valuations should endure," said Anand Rathi
