RBI's credit policy to guide price stability: IndusInd Bank

The concerns ahead of July Monetary Policy was the capability of RBI to manage contradictions with limited resources at its disposal. The aggressive growth plans of the Government will lead to more demand for funds from the system; increased domestic consumer demand will put pressure on rates; cost and demand push factors will be inflationary and sluggish off-shore demand will hit exports to put pressure on exchange rate.
While all these factors will lead to liquidity squeeze and interest rate pressure, the impact on adverse movement of crude oil price is beyond RBI’s control. The task for RBI was tough to manage expectations of the Government; market participants and vote bank, with the ultimate objective of providing momentum to growth with limited price volatility. The market awaited the monetary policy with bullish stance on growth and hawkish stance on inflation (and rates)!

The no-change stance was as expected given the easy liquidity with over Rs.1 trillion flowing into Reverse Repo counter at 3.25% and stable term money market rates. RBI has also provided comfort to address price-stability to minimise impact of growth and inflationary pressures leading to liquidity squeeze and rate reversal. The market remained stable post-monetary policy as there were no surprise elements in the policy. The no-change stance will keep the expectations of the market alive (on cuts in policy rates and/or statutory reserves, whenever such need arises) to guide price-stability in the short term.

Hold Reliance Industries, target of Rs 2020: Sharekhan

"Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL)’s performance in Q1FY2010 was below our and street’s expectations mainly on account of lower-than-expected gross refining margin (GRM) and higher effective tax rate. The company disappointed the street with its GRM declining to USD 7.5 per barrel from USD 15.7 per barrel in Q1FY2009 and USD9.9 per barrel in Q4FY2009. We expect that the ramp-up of gas production from KG D- 6 basin and the stabilisation of RPL’s refinery will be the key drivers of the company’s growth in FY2010 and FY2011. However, lower-than-expected petrochem margins and delay in the ramp-up of gas production from KG D-6 field remain the key risks to our estimates and valuations."

Hold JP Associates, target of Rs 266: Sharekhan

"In Q1FY2010 JP Associates Ltd (JAL) has reported strong top line growth for all its business verticals. The reported bottom line of the company grew by 2.9x year on year (yoy) due to one-time items. We continue to value JAL using SOTP methodology and value the stock at Rs 266 per share. We have now rolled over our target multiple for cement and E&C business to FY2011. We value the company’s cement business at 6x EV/EBITDA, this implies EV/tonne of US$100 per tonne (based on our capacity expectation of 19.5MTPA in FY2011). For the construction division, we have assigned target EV/ EBITDA multiple of 6x, which is at over 50% discount to that of Larsen & Toubro. For the real estate projects, we have valued Jaypee Greens and Taj Expressway at 1x of its NAV, given the early signs of revival in demand and overwhelming response for JAL’s projects during the quarter."

Adani Power IPO comes to the market today!

The much-awaited big-ticket IPO from the Adani group will open on Tuesday amid high expectations from the group that saw its earlier Adani IPO offering, the Mundra Port & SEZ (MPSEZ) issue, being oversubscribed a record 116 times in November 2007.

Adani Power, which opens its public issue on Tuesday, has completed allocation of shares to anchor investors. It allocated 5.25 crore shares to the domestic and foreign institutional investors for close to Rs 502.14 crore.

Foreign institutional buyers include T Rowe Price, AIC, Ecofin, TPG and Legg Mason. Among domestic institutions, Sundaram Mutual Fund pumped in Rs 81 crore in Adani Power and was allotted shares for Rs 95 each. While TPG and Legg Mason were allotted shares through Credit Swice and CLSA, respectively. T Rowe Price got the highest allocation of Rs 220.10 crore for equity share of Rs 95 each. AIC, Ecofin, TPG and Legg Mason invested Rs 24.20 crore, Rs 24.40, Rs 80 crore and Rs 72.4 crore, respectively.

Adani Power will be the first IPO that will follow the anchor investor norms, made mandatory by Sebi. According to Sebi guidelines, the maximum reservation for anchor investors is 30% of the qualified institutional buyers’ portion. Anchor investors get a definitive allotment with one month’s lock-in period.

Sources said anchor investors sought almost double of the maximum reservation, 30% of the QIB portion. “Adani Group has placed entire value chain of coal linkage, port, generation and transmission in place for Adani Power that will sell about 30% of the generation on merchant basis. It is expected to bring in good returns for investors,” said a market analyst.

Adani Power was to offer 30.17-crore shares with a price band of Rs 90-100 per share. Flagship company and promoter of Adani Power, Adani Enterprise, will dilute 13.84% of its holding in the company.

L&T makes key contribution to India`s first N-powered submarine

Larsen & Toubro (L&T), an engineering and construction major has played a critical role in building India`s first nuclear powered submarine, launched on July 26, 2009.

Based on the design provided by the navy & defence research and development organization (DRDO), L&T`s dedicated submarine design centre carried out detailed engineering, using the latest 3D modeling and product data management software.

In addition to being the country`s first nuclear-powered indigenous submarine, this is also the largest and heaviest vessel ever built in India.

L&T has had the privilege of making the single largest contribution in the construction of this vessel - right from the stage of plate cutting to launch.

A.M. Naik, chairman & managing director (CMD) of L&T said, ``We feel very proud to have contributed significantly to realizing India`s dream of an indigenous nuclear submarine. Over the last four decades, L&T has played a crucial pioneering role in building India`s strategic sectors by successfully executing several technology-intensive and challenging projects. Building the first nuclear submarine is the latest milestone in our association with the Indian navy & the DRDO, and we look forward to building more submarines and warships.``

Adani Power — IPO: Invest at cut-off

Investors with a long-term horizon can consider subscribing to the initial public offering of Adani Power (APL), the power generation arm of Adani Enterprises that is engaged in power project development and operations.

Given that the company’s operations are at a nascent stage and the offer is not cheap, investors should not expect listing gains on this offer.

At the price band of Rs 90-100 for this book-built offer, the company is expected to raise around Rs 2,700-3,000 crore. Of this, Rs 2,200 crore would be used to fund the equity portion of two power generation plants — Mundra Phase 4 and Thiroda of 1980 MW each. Balance funds will be deployed for Dahej (in Gujarat) and Kawai (in Maharashtra) power units, totalling 3,300 MW; these are in the nascent stages.

Though Adani’s projects lack operational history, the growth opportunities in the power sector are bright due to the huge demand-supply imbalance. Adani Power also enjoys reasonable earnings visibility owing to Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) signed for most of its Mundra and Thiroda projects and assured fuel linkages owing to the parent’s vertical integration.

Its unique advantages lie in dedicated transmission lines to evacuate power, the opportunity for higher realisations from merchant power agreements and tax benefits due to its SEZ status. However, before investing, investors have to bear in mind the risks to fuel supplies from the proposed new mining policy in Indonesia and operational issues cited by users of Chinese power equipment.
Valuations

At the offer price, the company’s business appears fairly valued. As the company has limited operational history, we have evaluated the offer based on market capitalisation per MW and price-to-book value, post offer.

At the lower end of the price band, Adani Power is valued at a P/BV of 3.4 times, a slight premium to its industry peers (average of 2.9 times).

However, at Rs 90, the market cap per MW (Rs 3 crore/ MW) is in line with the industry peers (in case of market cap/MW valuation, only projects that have attained financial closure are considered).

That suggests that at the lower end of the price band, the offer is fairly valued vis-a-vis its peers. However, as we expect higher earnings growth and ROEs in the initial years, Adani Power may be able to command premium valuations.
Business

The company plans to add 9,900 MW of generating capacity by 2013 with an ambitious 20,000 MW targeted by 2020. Most of the capacity is expected to come up in the Western region, which now has a energy deficit of 16 per cent and peak deficit of 19 per cent.

These projects are also strategically located for easy transportation of coal and water. The Mundra (Gujarat) and Thiroda (Maharashtra) projects, totalling 6,600 MW, have attained financial closure and are in various stages of execution. The remaining 3,300 MW is in the planning stages with projects at Dahej and Kawai.

Adani Power plans to invest Rs 28,369 crore to set up the entire 6,600 MW of capacity; the remaining equity portion being funded by infusion from the promoter.

While Mundra Phase I and II are expected to be fully commissioned by February 2010, Mundra Phase III and Phase IV are expected be set up by July 2011 and April 2012. The Thiroda project is expected to be commissioned by April 2012.

The company recently started commercial operations for the Mundra Unit-1 (330 MW) and reported accumulated losses of Rs 9.7 crore for the year-ended March 2009.

Given that the company has the opportunity to sell merchant power till February 2010 (when the PPA comes to effect), the company may turn cash flow positive by this year.

Dedicated transmission lines to evacuate power allow the advantage of open access. This may result in lower costs compared to other merchant and captive power plants that have to depend on state grid. The distance transmission lines covering a total of 1,596 km can be used to wheel merchant power to various purchasers.
Opportunities

At a time when execution delays owing to equipment and funding delays and fuel shortages have affected the capacity addition targets of various peers, Adani Power has established much of it as backward linkages.

It has tied up fuel linkages for the next 15 years and has also tied up PPAs with the Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Haryana electricity boards for the next 25 years.

Revenues, attributable to 72 per cent of the 6,600 MW capacity, which is expected by April 2012, have been secured through PPAs.

Adani has the flexibility to enter into merchant power agreements and short-term PPAs with companies and state utilities for the remaining 28 per cent, which may allow higher realisations and easier pass through of costs.

Recent reports, in fact, suggest that the merchant tariffs have risen to more than Rs 7 per unit in the peak season and Rs 4.5- 5 per unit for the rest of the year in the Western region due to a wider peak deficit. However, the realisations from merchant power sales may fall as State utilities manage to increase the generation capacity and reduce the cross subsidies.

According to the management, the company’s agreements to procure coal at a competitive cost of $36 per tonne will reduce the cost of power generation. The company estimates the cost of generating at Rs 1.5-1.7 per unit while the PPA realisations are expected at Rs 2.62-2.94 per unit and merchant power realisations at Rs 4.5 per unit. This could lead to higher ROEs for the projects in the initial years.

Though location in a SEZ and section 80IA status allows tax benefits, these benefits are pass-through and will allow Adani Power to quote lower tariffs going forward.

As 80 per cent of the capacity to be added will run on super-critical technology it may get carbon credit benefits as the technology is more efficient (burns less fuel).
Risks

The company has decided to rely mainly on Chinese equipment for setting up the power plants, taking the view that the waiting periods involved in sourcing indigenous equipment tend to escalate costs. There have been instances in India of power generation players facing intermittent problems with Chinese equipment.

One such instance is collapse of turbine blades in the Sagardighi thermal station in West Bengal, which caused a shutdown for over 80 days.

While these will usually be compensated by the contractor, they may create unscheduled shutdowns.

Policy changes pertaining to Indonesian mining rights poses a risk to uninterrupted fuel supply for the Mundra plant. However, this may be partly compensated by provisional supply from domestic sources which was approved for Mundra IV and Thiroda projects.

The ongoing intellectual property rights litigation between Alstom and supercritical boiler supplier- Shanghai Electricals, also bears watching as the verdict may have implications for equipment supplies to the Thiroda project.

Stock Idea : Tantia Constructions (BUY)

Tantia Constructions (Rs 87.90): Buy
Investors with medium-term perspective can consider buying Tantia Constructions. The stock found significant support around Rs 30 in March 2009 and commenced an uptrend. Though it encountered a major resistance at Rs 70 in early June, it was able to conclusively break out of this resistance in mid July.

The momentum indicators in the weekly chart are bullish.

We believe that Tantia Constructions has the potential to trend upward to Rs 128 in the medium-term. Investors can accumulate the stock in dips with stop-loss at Rs 70. Short-term traders can enter with a target of Rs 97 and tight stop at Rs 83.5.

Stock idea : Ultratech Cement (BUY)

The stock of UltraTech Cement is a good investment option for investors with a one/two-year perspective. A focus on the promising Western region, a first-mover advantage in capacity additions and substantial captive power capacities make UltraTech a preferred exposure within the cement sector.

At its current market price of Rs 775, the stock trades at nine times its estimated 2009-10 earnings, at a discount to peers such as ACC and Ambuja Cement (12-13 times their estimated FY10 earnings).

UltraTech’s sales and profits have grown at a compounded annual rate of 25 per cent and 44 per cent respectively in the last four years. The company has benefited from the Western region’s strong demand for cement, reporting an 18 per cent surge in domestic volumes and 91 per cent jump in export volumes in the June quarter. UltraTech also has a smaller presence in Southern and Central markets.

The Rs 3.5-lakh-crore of industrial investments slated for Gujarat and the revival of cement exports from the region point to good demand prospects in the region. Though surplus capacity is a key concern for cement companies over the medium term, UltraTech is less vulnerable to this risk as only 9 per cent of the new capacities for this year are coming up in the West. Cement prices in the region have climbed from Rs 245/bag in January to Rs 260/bag in June.

One of UltraTech’s key advantages is that much of its capacity expansion has already been commissioned. With the recent 1.2-million-tonne expansion in the South, its capacity stands at 23.1 million tonne. UltraTech’s thermal power capacity meets almost 80 per cent of its power requirements. While these factors insulate the company from power shortages and a spike in power costs, further proposals to set up waste heat recovery systems which can save costs, are also on the anvil.

The company managed to keep a tight rein on its costs in the June quarter, with power-fuel costs registering a 1 per cent decline over last year; operating margins expanded 7 percentage points to 39 per cent. The company’s profits after tax during the same period rose 58 per cent. With realisations expected to remain firm even as regional demand drivers are strong, the earnings outlook remains positive for the next 12 months.

ICICI Bank posts 68% rise in net

Helped by strong treasury operations, ICICI Bank, the country’s second largest lender, today reported a 68 per cent rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 1,036 crore during the quarter-ended June, 2009, as against Rs 617 crore in the corresponding period last year.

The increase was despite a 0.2 per cent decline in consolidated income to Rs 14,615 crore, which was attributed to market-linked businesses such as insurance.

On a standalone basis, beating analyst estimates, the bank reported 20.63 per cent rise in net profit to Rs 878.22 crore.

Total income fell 2 per cent to Rs 9,223 crore and net interest income was down 5 per cent to Rs 1,985 crore during the quarter ended June 30.

The bank attributed the decrease in net interest income to the 11.6 per cent fall in advances. Though treasury income of Rs 714 crore during April-June this year, as against a Rs 594-crore loss in the corresponding period last year, helped the bank, an all-round reduction in cost also boost its bottom-line in the first quarter of 2009-10.

What also helped was a write back of some of the mark-to-market losses that the bank had taken on its books last year.

With the bank going slow on fresh lending, advances at the end of June 2009 were estimated at Rs 1,98,101.87 crore, as against Rs 2,24,145.92 crore a year ago. Similarly, assets fell 6.78 per cent to Rs 3,67,418.92 crore.

ICICI Bank, which has grown 25 to 30 per cent in the past, has had to slow down fresh lending, especially in the unsecured retail segment, and the level of advances and assets is now at the level seen at the end of June 2007.

Hold Maruti Suzuki, target Rs 1475: Nirmal Bang

Nirmal Bang has recommended a hold rating on Maruti Suzuki, with price target of Rs 1475 in its report.

" We believe that though the company being a leader in this segment & having more than 50% of market share, the competition is increasing in the A2 & A3 segments which are the major revenue earners for the company. We believe the company will record a volume growth of around 13% for FY10. But higher price realisation due to better product mix will help the company to improve its profit margins. We recommend a 'HOLD' on the stock with a price target of Rs 1475 per share," says Nirmal Bang's report.

Few Volatile Stocks good for Short Term

>> Saturday, July 18, 2009

The Vulture Play
These stocks have fallen like there’s no bottom. But the levels at which they are trading offer huge opportunities.

Strategy: Buy on rumours and sell on news.

Suzlon: Debt is high and so are the receivables. But Tulsi Tanti is willing to dilute his stake and meet commitments. If US President Barack Obama backs energy generation from green sources, Suzlon’s 5 MW wind turbines will be hot. The stock has gained nearly 300 percent since the time it fell to Rs. 35.

Ranbaxy: The last 12 months have been bad. Sales are down, research hasn’t paid off and US FDA is after it for manufacturing lapses. But the new Japanese owner Daiichi Sankyo has had great successes in research and working with the FDA. Expect them to put Ranbaxy back on an even keel.

NIIT: As IT crashed so did the IT trainer. Its stock fell 85 percent to Rs. 14. But it is moving beyond IT and is training professionals for banking jobs. The amount spent on education doubled in the last five years and NIIT grew twice as fast, quadrupling its top line. The stock has recovered to half its 52-week high.

Wockhardt: Its core business is in fine fettle. Its problems are foreign loan repayments and derivative losses. Banks are taking over the company operations and Habil Khorakiwala has put some businesses on the block to pay off debtors. Wockhardt’s strong cash flow should return it to good health in two years.

Hindalco: The acquisition of Novelis tripled Hindalco’s sales but caused an 11 percent decline in net profits. But aluminum prices are rising and credit is beginning to flow. Hindalco’s nine-month profits look nice. It now has the space to fix Novelis. Tricky but not impossible.

Risk: This one’s clearly a high risk strategy. There could be serious heart ache before the gains come.

Some good sctock Picks from : Banking, Insurance, Retail and Airlines Sector.

The Liberalisation Play
Government moves out, lets in private capital, it works more efficiently and delivers great returns. That’s liberalisation. The new government has the mandate to open up sectors like banking, insurance, retail and airlines to private investors. When it does, be there.

Strategy: Simply select the best performers in these sectors.

Crisil: The 800-pound gorilla of rating agencies, it rates 1,000 firms today. If the financial sector is liberalised, that number could go up to 10,000. Crisil has retained earnings of 75 percent with an ROCE of 42 percent. It is the fourth largest credit rating agency in the world.

ICRA: There is room for both Crisil and ICRA in the space. At Rs. 788, the company is getting close to its 52-week high of Rs. 900. But the number doesn’t capture the potential arising from RBI’s new rule that all debt products be rated.
HDFC Bank: A cautious and solid bank, it is safe because its government bond holdings are 3 percent over the statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) requirement.Fiscal liberalisation will benefit this bank because it is in a position to scale up quickly. At Rs. 1,569, the price looks steep based on 2009-10 P/E multiple of 4. This is very much the stock for those who like conservative growth.

Kingfisher Airlines: The company has a debt-equity ratio of 3:1. And it makes losses. If foreign capital is allowed, you can be sure of one thing: Vijay Mallya will make sure Kingfisher gets it. That will make life a lot easier for the airline.

Oracle Financial: It suffered when oreign banks went broke. But its earnings jumped 77 percent and revenues rose 23 percent in 2008-09. As its clients come off the ventilator, they will need to be rewired. Oracle Financial will be waiting.

Risk: The ambiguity of regulatory changes, however, gives them some additional risk. Given that US banks have behaved so badly, it is going to be hard for government to liberalise the financial sector.

Five good Infrastructure stocks

The Infrastructure Play
India needs new roads, ports, airports, railway lines and huge amounts of power. Apart from steel and cement, there are several ancillary plays as well. For instance, warehouse network will be needed along the roads and near ports. As more small towns get connected to big cities through roads, vehicle sales will benefit.

Strategy: Not good for paying school fees; great for college education kitty.

Blue Star: Two decades to reach Rs. 1,000 crore in sales; two years to reach Rs. 2,000 crore in 2008. Non-core businesses are gone and 90 percent of revenues come from refrigeration and cooling products. It’s almost debt-free with an ROCE of over 50 percent. Growing demand for cold storage, outsourcing outfits and other commercial offices in Tier II cities put the estimated non-residential demand for air conditioning at Rs. 38,000 crore.

BHEL: For 2009-10, the company is increasing its capacity from 10 GW to 15 GW. Capacity additions are ahead of schedule. The slowdown in the global economy has brought down input costs significantly. The company has also taken control of its salary costs that were eroding its profit margins. BHEL will be among the top beneficiaries as India begins to add 20,000 MW of generation capacity each year for the next five years.
Power Finance Corporation: At about 25 percent, the company’s net profit margin is close to what the best software companies earn at half their price-to-earnings ratio. This public sector company also enjoys the preferred lender status for all the mega power projects in the country. Its employee expenses are just 1 percent of sales.


Mahindra & Mahindra: Rural India is earning well because of infrastructure boom. M&M’s SUVs are selling briskly and its market share in the SUV space has gone from 51 percent to 57 percent in the last two years. A week after Xylo was launched, M&M received 9,000 bookings, or one-fifth of its annual SUV sales. The stock may be fully priced now but the upshot comes from prosperity in the hinterland that better infrastructure will bring.


Allcargo Global Logistics: This stock was one of the earliest to recover after it fell
dramatically in October. It has already recovered all the lost ground as the company managed to keep its net profits margin above 15 percent. The stock is available at a P/E of 17 on trailing earnings, just as expensive as the broad market. Allcargo, a complete logistics provider, is positioned well to exploit the projected 17 percent in port traffic and the increasing trend of outsourcing of logistics by manufacturing companies.

Risk: Long payback periods are par for the course in infrastructure. As a result, earnings
in the near term could be depressed, often in proportion to the borrowed funds. If costs of funds go up, returns could diminish. In some cases, regulatory glitches can also slow down the process as is the case with mega power plants coming up in Uttar Pradesh.

5 good stocks in the Consumer Durables (FMCG)

The Consumer Play
Between 2000 and 2005, nearly a third of the incremental expenditure came from the middle class. Their non-food expenditure rose height: 119px;" src="http://business.in.com/media/images/2009/Ju70 percent, while expenditure on education doubled. In these years, as per capita income rose 80 percent, Indians also increased their expenses by nearly the same degree. The same theme will play out in the coming years. The five broad areas to look for companies are: food, essential non-food, education, healthcare (lifestyle) and discretionary expenditure that will include consumer durables and automobiles.

Strategy: Buy it, stash it and have a good night’s sleep.

Page Industries: A small company that makes a small product with big margins: male underwear. This Rs. 200-crore company makes the Jockey brand and has a net margin of 12 percent and ROCE of 36 percent. The company has effectively positioned its brand in a largely unbranded and unorganised Rs. 900 crore innerwear market. The company is worth a little over $100 million — cheap to even buy as an ongoing business for global competitors.


Pidilite Industries: Pidilite has brands like Fevicol, M-Seal, car polish Motomax and other assorted consumer art materials and specialised home paints. The three brands are also clear market leaders in their category. The company is available at a market capitalisation of 1.6 times its sales. With a sales growth rate of more than 22 percent for the last five years, there is a lot of steam left as its brands touch fast-growing areas like education, home décor and automobiles.

Dabur: This company has focus. Five years ago, Dabur got out of the pharmaceutical business and put all its effort, like the best brand companies, behind five of its brands. Since then, its ROCE has consistently remained above 50 percent. It touched 80 percent in 2008. Dabur strategy of focussing on health foods like fruit juices sold under its Real brand is starting to pay dividends.

Procter and Gamble Hygiene: Over the last three years, the money that P&G invested did not translate into market cap gains. The worm has now turned. Its feminine hygiene line, Whisper, grew at 21 percent and is also the category leader in value terms. Its ROCE, which started dipping since 2006, has again picked up indicating that its new investments are now paying dividends. The stock is trading at its three years highs but is still priced 20 percent below its peers.

Marico: Till 2008-09 came by, the company’s sales and profits had grown for 30 consecutive quarters, indicating a stable track record. Over the last five years, the company averaged a 20 percent growth in sales and profits. It recently launched its Saffola range of food products, which is expected to give the company its next round of growth. The stock looks fully priced but its international business and Kaya Skin Clinics have started to deliver returns. Analysts expect these businesses to expand rapidly in the coming years.

Risk: People love this sector when the chips are down. But when bulls are roaming the streets, returns from this sector fall. These stocks have higher valuations than the general market, making them look expensive.

World's richest economies to grow this year

The world's richest economies will grow again before year-end as the choke-hold of the worst recession in generations gradually eases,but Reuters polls of economists show widespread doubt about the recovery's strength.

Surveys of more than 150 analysts across the Group of Seven industrialized nations showed upgrades to near-term growth forecasts for most countries, although expectations for 2010 remain sluggish and barely changed over the past month.

The Reuters poll results will certainly provide comfort to those who have made aggressive bets on an economic recovery beginning this year. But forecasts for a sharp rebound, or what is often called a V-shaped recovery, are few and far between.

"Signs from consumers suggest a key component of economic recovery is not prepared to carry its weight," noted Robert DiClemente, chief U.S. economist at Citi in New York.

"Financial market participants and policymakers will need to pay close attention to the path of consumer spending as this slower pace of inventory unwinding boosts GDP."

So far it appears gross domestic product in developed economies has had a boost from a searing pace of inventory depletion running its course, leaving companies with no choice but to ramp up production in order to meet even feeble demand.

Yet prospects for the G7 remain dim compared with most Asian economies, which are set for a sharp rebound in 2010, according to the latest Reuters poll of more than 100 economists across the region, also published Wednesday.

Global economic growth is set to mark a 1.5 percent decline this year, based on forecasts gathered from across the G7, followed by a fairly strong pickup to 2.5 percent in 2010 driven by emerging economies.

The range of GDP forecasts provided for G7 economies was wide, although there has been some narrowing, coinciding with a powerful stock market rally this year that has major indexes up 30 percent since March, some more than half.

After budgets we have witnessed a huge fall on the Indian Stock markets. The fundamentals didn't support after budget.

Now every one have reduced the rating for the markets. Every one is predicting the markets to further fall down.

Last week NIFTY closed at 4003.9 just managed to sustain the 4K level.
NIFTY TRIN at 1.631
NIFTY Range - Between 3820 to 4185


Current Spot - 4003.9
Support - 3910 and 3805
Resistance - 4102 and 4221
Reversal from either of these levels would provide the opportunity to initiate fresh short positions. (Resistance)

NHPC IPO to hit the market this August.

It has earmarked an investment of Rs28,000 crore in the current XIth Five-Year Plan (2007-12) to become an over 10,000 MW company.

Acting on the government’s disinvestment plans, state-run NHPC will hit the market with its initial public offering of shares to mop up Rs1,670 crore next month.

“NHPC’s IPO will come in August; the company has already started the roadshows for the same,” power secretary H S Brahma told reporters in Delhi on Wednesday.

The company’s public offer will account for 10% of its present equity, while the government will divest a 5% stake of the 100% it currently holds.

NHPC plans to issue fresh equity of Rs1,670 crore through the IPO, and it plans to bring 167 crore shares of a face value of Rs10 each, which would be offered at a premium to be decided through the book-building process.

The company filed the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India on 6 August last year.

NHPC had earlier filed the DRHP in April 2007 but it was rejected by the market regulator as the company did not have the required strength of non-official directors on its board, which it now has.

It has earmarked an investment of Rs28,000 crore in the current XIth Five-Year Plan (2007-12) to become an over 10,000 MW company from 5,200 MW now. The proceeds from the IPO will be partly utilised to finance expansions.

Oil India IPO in first week of September

Oil India, the nation's second-largest state-run explorer, is likely to launch an initial public offering (IPO) in the first week of September.

"We are going ahead with the IPO. Roadshows will be held in August and the offering will open for public subscription in the first week of September," a company official said.

OIL, which produces 3.5 million tonnes a year of oil, will offer 2.64 crore equity shares to public in the IPO, while the government will simultaneously sell 10 per cent of its stake in the company to state refiners.

He, however, added that the final timing of the IPO would depend on market conditions. "As of now it is slated for first week of September."

An 11 per cent fresh equity would be sold in the IPO while the government would divest 10 per cent of its stake at the IPO price.

Post-IPO and disinvestment, the government's stake in the company will decrease from 98.13 per cent to 78.5 per cent.

The official said the IPO proceeds would be used to fund capex requirement for 2009-10 and 2010-11 when it had planned Rs 2,300 crore and Rs 2,400 crore expenditure respectively.

OIL has started discussions with bankers, including HSBC Securities & Capital Markets, JM Financial, Citigroup Global Market India and Morgan Stanley India for timing of the IPO, the official said.

OIL was to launch its IPO of 11 per cent equity shares on November 10, 2008, but the reversal of fortunes on the stock markets led to the deferment of the plan.

Alongside the IPO, government is to sell 10 per cent of its current holdings in OIL to Indian Oil Corp, Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum. IOC will get 5 per cent while HPCL and BPCL would take 2.5 per cent shares each.

Post-IPO and equity transfer, government shareholding in the company will come down to 78.43 per cent. IOC will hold 4.45 per cent equity stake in the expanded equity base while HPCL and BPCL would hold 2.23 per cent each. Public holding would be 12.66 per cent.
OIL had received all approvals for the IPO from market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India. "The approvals are valid till September 10," the official said.

>> Wednesday, July 8, 2009

What is Sensex 30 and NIFTY 50 ?
I know I am acting stupid by writing such kind of post as all of you must be familiar with this but this is for my readers from other countries.

The full form of Sensex is Sensitive Index and of NIFTY is National Fifty.
Sensex is a Benchmark index of BSE and Nifty is an Index of NSE.
Sensex 30 comprises of all major companies listed on BSE based on their market cap. and liquidity.
Some of the companies at present in SENSEX 30 are Reliance Ind., Infosys ,TCS, LNT etc.
The movement in the all 30 scripts makes a movement in Sensex i.e. it leads the sensex to go up or down.
The same is in case of NIFTY it comprises to top 50 stocks listed on NSE.
Their movement will deside index movement.

Some times we see Midcaps are positive even when Sensex is trading negative, this is because Sensex is calculated on bases of 30 stocks in it. The same is for NIFTY.

Even Sensex and Nifty various other sectoral indices such as bankex for banking, PSU for PSU companies.
