BlackRock Sees Revival as Roads Attract Tata: Corporate India Billionaires Anil Ambani and Ajay Piramal are joining the Tata Group in seeking distressed Indian road projects offered by debt-laden builders amid Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s plan to boost infrastructure spending. Photo : IBN Live Jul 24, 2014:  Piramal Enterprises Ltd. (PIEL) is negotiating to buy six road projects valued at 20 billion rupees ($333 million), said Parvez Umrigar, co-head of its structured investment group. The $100 billion Tata conglomerate, which bought three road projects last year, and Ambani-led Reliance Infrastructure Ltd. (RELI) are looking for more. Modi’s pledge to spend $25 billion on roads, airports, ports and smart cities to unclog Asia’s third-largest economy and spur expansion is encouraging investors to buy stalled road and power projects. The highest interest rates among the region’s biggest markets and growth near a decade-low crippled the original builders, forcing them...

Resurgere Mines and Minerals Ltd: Shareholding Pattern of June, 2014 quarter Please Click on the Photo to Expand We can clearly see, from the shareholding pattern of the company, that holdings of the promoters (and other large entities) have more or less remained same during the last two quarters. This puts to rest, the controversy spread by vested interest group/s that the promoters have allegedly sold their holdings. If the company starts mining in its BAUXITE mines in Maharashtra, then the scrip could even cross its book value.  Moreover, this event is in stark contrast to its peer group company, SVC Resources Ltd, whose promoter holding has steadily decreased during the last few quarters; but surprisingly, the Re.1, Face Value share is still at Rs.2.59 (Rs.25.9, if we consider Rs.10, as Face Value) as compared to Rs.2.16 (Face Value: Rs.10 and not Re.1) of Resurgere Mines and Minerals Ltd.  A notorious group is very active on the coun...

Private companies may be permitted to commercially mine coal NEW DELHI, Jul 21, 2014: The Modi government will initiate the process of allowing private companies to commercially mine coal and end the state monopoly after the public offer of shares of Coal India Ltd (CIL), official sources said. "The new government is keen to allow private firms into commercial coal mining to increase supply of the fuel in the country. But we are not opening too many fronts at this moment. We will start discussions with stakeholders on commercial mining only after Coal India's public offer," a senior coal ministry official said. A roadmap to allow private commercial mining of coal will be prepared after an in-principle nod from all stakeholders is secured, he said. CIL has not been able to increase output to match the surge in demand although it has huge reserves of the fuel. The Tatas, Adani, Anil Ambani group and others have successfully mined coal in India or abroad, but t...

New report forecasts boost for India’s construction sector in 2015 Photo : Udaipur Times MUMBAI, JULY 22, 2014: India’s construction sector is forecast to grow at 7-8 per cent each year over the next decade. With the new government, the country is expected to see increased economic growth and the removal of barriers to foreign investment that will "spur demand for construction" over the coming 12 to 18 months, according to a report by international consultancy giant PwC. The report highlights how an estimated $1 trillion would be spent on infrastructure over the next three years to 2017. Stating that there would be increased investment in industrial projects by the government, the report has noted that it is the private housing sector that would be a key growth area.

PMO to take stock of infrastructure projects this week NEW DELHI, Jul 22, 2014: For the first time, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) will this week take stock of the targets set by each infrastructure ministry after the Narendra Modi government took charge. The Planning Commission, which has been tasked to prepare the presentation for all infrastructure sectors, has sought details from all departments. Sources said the first such umbrella meeting on targets for this financial year is crucial since the Prime Minister has already gone through individual presentations by each ministry and department. They added that ministries are likely to stick to their earlier targets, though a final call will be taken by PMO considering the achievable targets. Government officials said the road ministry is likely to submit that NHAI and the ministry would be able to award 8,500 km including 3,500 km on build, operate and transfer (BOT) mode despite the first set of three BOT pro...

Sebi draft norms for infrastructure trusts [ Editor :  To encourage infrastructure development, RBI exempted long term bonds from mandatory regulatory norms like CRR and SLR if the money raised is used for funding of such projects. In other words, "Banks can issue long-term bonds with a minimum maturity of seven years to raise resources for lending to long term projects in infrastructure sub-sectors," the Reserve Bank said. The central bank said it intends to "ease the way for banks to raise long term resources to finance their long term loans to infrastructure". To say it in simple terms: Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said banks would not have to maintain cash reserve ratio (CRR) or statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) and will not have to meet priority-sector lending targets for funds raised through bonds for extending credit to these sectors. Meanwhile, the Planning Commission secretary Sindhushree Khullar is scheduled to make a presentation this week on the perform...

Domestic and Indian Gold Rally Strong In H1 2014 Domestic and Indian Gold Rally Points to a Strong Second Half by Frank Holmes July 17, 2014: Earlier this week we reported that gold, defying expectations, is one of the best-performing commodities of the year so far. And now we’ve learned that gold bullion imports by India climbed a stunning 65 percent last month after the country’s central bank allowed more investors to buy foreign bullion. Imports rose to $3.12 billion in June from $1.89 billion this time last year. India is the world’s second-largest consumer of gold after China, accounting for approximately 25 percent of all gold consumption. Gold is the country’s second-largest import item after oil. This news comes closely on the heels of the recent election of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) seeks to loosen import restrictions and other government regulations that tend to stifle economic growth. The rally also coincides with th...

WINNING STROKES: THINK DIFFERENT Nitin Goenka and Mahdeep Kapoor Photo : www.sulekha.com Allied Digital Services Ltd, recommended today, to the Paid Service Members, at around Rs.20.60-21, today hit the upper circuits, in the closing trade. The scrip could be hitting non-stop upper circuits during the next few trading sessions.  Resurgere Mines and Minerals Ltd, after a brief correction has again bounced back, hitting upper circuits today, in the BSE. Later it turned out to be only buyer. The punters are probably taking positions in the scrip before the  much awaited start of operations in the company's bauxite mine in Maharashtra, post monsoon. If the mining really starts there, then the scrip would cross its book value of Rs.26.49. It is to be understood that in a BULL Market everything moves up, and I feel this scrip will also spurt ahead, considering that its peer group company SVC Resources Limited, with much worse fundamentals, is trading at Rs.22.60 (if we con...
