Flipkart Group has widened its lead in India's e-commerce market and strengthened its dominance in online fashion through Myntra, according to a Bank of America Securities report that points to resilient consumer demand despite intense competition across the internet sector. The brokerage, citing Sensor Tower daily active user (DAU) data and industry checks, said Flipkart remained the leading e-commerce platform by user engagement as of June 2026, while Myntra continued to pull ahead of rivals in fashion. The findings suggest that competitive pressures in India's online retail market have yet to dent Flipkart's market position, even as rivals continue to invest heavily to gain share. BofA said Myntra's leadership in fashion appears to be deepening, aided by relatively limited competition in premium fashion and beauty categories. The brokerage noted that several competitors had sought to position themselves as credible challengers, but user engagement trends indicate Myntra continue

Bank of America (BofA) Global Research has maintained a positive recommendation on securities issued by Vedanta Resources Ltd and its subsidiary, citing reduced holding company liquidity risk, cheaper debt, and lower reliance on dividends in the future. The firm's report follows allegations by a US-based short seller Viceroy Research of Vedanta Resources' structural subordination, reliance on brand fees/dividends to service debt and frequent changes in senior management.
