In 2012, the FIIs are Exiting Debt Market, but entering Indian Equities in Style!!
MUMBAI: Overseas investors have pumped in about Rs.8,381.10 crore (USD 1.68 billion) in the Indian equity market in the month of March, taking the calendar year to date total to a whopping Rs.43,950.70 crore (USD 8.89 billion).
During March, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were gross buyers of shares worth Rs.63,795.10 crore, while they sold equities amounting to Rs.55,413.80 crore, translating into a net investment of Rs.8,381.10 crore, as per data available with market regulator Sebi.
With FIIs having already poured nearly USD 9 billion so far this year, inflows from the investors are likely to touch USD 10 billion in the next few weeks, analysts believe.
"Their investments in the first quarter of this year is one of the highest investments in any quarter in the last 10-12 years. FII inflows are likely to cross USD 10 billion mark in the next few weeks," Religare Securities Executive Vice President & Head (retail research) Rajesh Jain said.
Jain said the quantum of FII inflows goes to show that they still have confidence in the Indian economy.
Regarding the P-notes, he said Finance Minister has given a positive statement and that was the reason behind the rally in the market on Friday (March 30).
Participatory Notes (P-Notes) are instruments that allow foreign institutional investors (FIIs), which are not registered with market regulator SEBI, to invest in the Indian equity market.
Meanwhile, the foreign fund houses have sold Rs.6,588.60 crore (USD 1.29 billion) in the debt market last month. This takes their overall net investments into debt markets to Rs 4,157.30 crore (USD 812.80 million) this year.
FIIs had mostly stayed away from Indian equities in 2011 pulling out Rs.2,812 crore and instead, flocked towards the debt market with a net investment of Rs.20,293 crore.

Allied Digital Services Ltd: Gaining from Dollar Appreciation!!
While the global slowdown has made things difficult for India IT companies, most firms are able to increase their earnings due to appreciation of the dollar, said Nitin Shah, CMD, Allied Digital. Excerpts of the interview:
Q. What has been the impact of the economic slowdown on the IT industry? How are the Indian IT companies having global operations doing currently?

The economic slowdown has resulted in reduction in discretionary expenditure and capex. Decision making in sales has become slow. Indian IT companies are trying their best to retain existing clients but the acquisition of new clients is slow, due to reduction in expenditure and slowdown in the market. However, the good news is that most of the IT companies are making money, due to dollar appreciation. This is some sort of a "blessing in disguise" as earning from the same business is more (due to dollar appreciation).

Q. What about Allied Digital? How is it beating competition in the changed scenario?

Allied Digital has been foreseeing a paradigm shift in the IT industry- especially as far as IT computing is concerned. More and more people are adopting 'cloud computing' (pay for use model). This therefore, certainly increases the opex-spend of the customers. Allied Digital has the unique advantage of managing the IT infrastructure by having lesser dependency on human resources and by leveraging tools & technology. This automation in service delivery-resulting in huge amount of savings in the cost of services.

Q. What has been the growth strategy of Allied Digital in recent years?

Allied Digital's growth strategy is to focus more on IT infrastructure management services business and focus mainly on large customer base in India as well as in USA, UK and Australia. Allied Digital's business model will be made more outcome based and SLA driven against the practice in IT industry in recent past when the billing was based on time and material model (linear model).

Q. Is your company also looking at fresh acquisitions for growth?

The worldwide slowdown has impacted heavily the smaller companies' operations in the overseas markets like USA, UK & Australia. Because of the sluggish market, sales cycle gets unduly delayed. So our strategy is to buy and acquire such performing companies rather than building on own. In the current scenario, in the overseas market, buying new business is far better alternative than building and at the same time it is more cost-effective.

Q. What are your future growth targets and plans?

As I have stated earlier, I believe in 'small term pain, long term gain'. We see 2011-12 as the year of transformation. Our plans in the transformation process will be vigorous at every level. The growth for the current year may not be high but we will be able to have complete readiness to exploit cloud computing and service business. All this will eventually lead to Allied Digital's substantial growth in the coming future.

In case of Nifty, some of the momentum oscillators like stochastics are in the oversold territory and indicate that a sharp upside is possible from here on in the short term.
Today's call to the Paid Service Members: (i) Intraday, buy Rajesh Exports at Rs.123-125 (Lower), T--Rs.129-136, SL-Rs.121, reached its target, as the it reached Rs.132.50. The recommendation was anchored on the following news: Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee may reconsider budget proposal for charging excise duty on unbranded jewellery.
(ii) Buy Reliance Industries Ltd at Rs.728, T-Rs.145-160, SL--Rs.120. This recommendation was anchored on the following news: The RIL has reorganized its finance operations under two chief financial officers for the first time.
NEW DELHI: The 50-share Nifty index slipped to its 2-month low on Thursday, breaking key technical support levels of 5150 on weak global cues.
"Despite Nifty momentarily breaching the 5150 mark on an intra-day basis today, the outlook for Nifty remains positive. Even if Nifty closes below the 5150 mark, the downside appears limited to 2-3%," said Vinit Pagaria, VP - Investment Strategies, Microsec Capital Ltd
Nifty has been holding on to the crucial support band of 5150-5170 since the last few days. It tested a low of 5174.90 on Monday, 5184.65 on Tuesday and 5169.60 on Wednesday.
The 50-share Nifty index was down 0.9 percent at 12:40 hrs, breaking below the 200-day moving average for the first time since Feb. 1.
Some of the momentum oscillators like stochastics are in the oversold territory and indicate that a sharp upside is possible from here on in the short term.
"We continue to believe that traders should go long between 5000 and 5250 with upside targets of 5400, 5630 and finally 5900," added Vinit.
Microsec Capital advises traders to write Nifty April Put options of strike 5100 and strike 5200.
According to analysts, expiry of March derivatives contracts today and the end of the fiscal year at the end of the week is also adding to the volatility.
"Beginning today, it is a new settlement for the FIIs in the sense that whatever they buy now will go into the new financial year. In case FIIs do press the gas on the downside, the domestic market as well as the retail investors may not be able to absorb the selling pressure," said VK Sharma, Head of Business, Private Broking & Wealth Management, HDFC Securities.
"Chances are the markets would crash and we might see Nifty going down to levels below 5000," added VK Sharma.
National Stock Exchange data showed provisional net purchases of Rs 148 cr ($29.15 million) on Thursday, bringing total net sales for the week to about $39 million.
According to dealers, the near-term trend has turned bearish and the market is likely to take cues from the Reserve Bank of India's policy review meet and corporate earnings for direction.
"For next one to two months we expect markets to remain range bound on the back of global flows where there is a risk on trade happening. Fundamentally, there are challenges on the horizon, be it in the form of the huge current account deficit or upcoming earning season," said Manish Kumar, CIO & EVP, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance.
The high crude oil prices and weakening rupee has been also weighing on sentiments and if the government fails to hike fuel prices it will put further strain on the fiscal deficit.
According to Dodge O Dorland, Chairman & Chief Investment Officer, Landor & Fuest Capital Managers, the price of oil is going to be one of the most major determinants of what happens in the markets.
Fears of the government implementing some proposals of General Anti-Avoidance Rules (GAAR) to tax foreign institutional investors may also have weakened the market sentiment.
However, investors in many companies still have reason to cheer as these stocks have significantly outperformed the broader market since the Budget.
These are companies in which FIIs do not hold any stakes or own insignificant number of shares - a feature that possibly makes them less vulnerable to risk of major FII-selling if tax proposals are implemented under GAAR.
Since March 16, shares of over 100 such companies have risen between 10% and 56% as against 2.4% fall in the Sensex. The list mostly includes medium and small-cap companies across sectors. In a few cases, the share prices have been driven by company-specific developments.

I am going to increase the price of the Paid Service, from 1st May, 2012 and hence those who want to enroll should do it before the stipulated time. 
Select bank stocks should be bought, while some fools are selling all the bank counters---really Indian investors, needs to be educated in investing principles and techniques. Most of them are dumb and some invest through tips coming from television channels and advisory services; which is dangerous. When one is investing in a company he should take into account at least two things: the individual performance of the company and the conditions of the sector. If a bank is performing well, inspite of its sector not doing well, then that counter should be bought into and then held with patience for the improvement in the sector performance. Banks are a proxy of Indian economy, so if the Indian economy is to grow, the banks must play a crucial role. An efficient banking system caters to the needs of high-end investors by making available high amounts of capital for big projects in the industrial, infrastructure and service sectors and thus driving country's growth. Also, a repo rate and a CRR Cut is on the cards to at least support the rural sector. Rural sector in a country like India can grow only if cheaper credit is available to the farmers for their short and medium term needs. Moreover, if we think of the real estate sector then the price of apartments in Mumbai and elsewhere are shooting over the roof, because of the government's motivated (feudal) decision to keep the rates abnormally high. As soon as the interest rates come down, I think, the price of apartments and most of the commodities would come down, because the cost of funds would come down; though it would take sometime to increase the off-take. Also, some of the bank stocks are cheap by almost every metric as many of them are more than 20-25% away from the 52-week high price. Moreover, the price-to-earnings ratios (P/E) and price-to-book ratios (P/BV) are at crazy levels for some as compared to some of their Indian/US peers. For example, please take the case of IFCI Ltd whose P/E is around 4.32 as compared to SBIs P/E of 17.21 (but then the P/E of SBI is expected to decrease post infusion of funds by the GOI). This is also much lower against the P/E of Nifty. But here is a caveat: the valuation metrics like P/E and P/BV are best compared within a sector to avoid an apples-to-oranges comparison. Besides, this IFCI Ltd is a massive company, which has interest in many sectors, so it should not be only considered as a lending counter, but on the contrary it should be guaged holistically. I have already placed a report on IFCI Ltd on 23rd March, 2012-you can go through the same. CLICK HERE. Therefore, buy select bank stocks, not all.
Yesterday, the  Mini_Nifty shot up from 5175 to 5204 after it was recommended a buy to the Paid  Service members. I think most of them made money in this call. You can check, the details of the Nifty call in the Free Group: SumanSpeaks: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/SumanSpeaks/.
Dish TV Ltd was again recommended a buy at Rs.59-60, for a target of Rs.67-70, after my long discussion with some of the heads of research of some well known brokerage houses. The scrip has probably completed its correction is now poised to move towards, Rs.70, in the coming days. Last month there were media reports that the direct to home (DTH) service provider Dish TV India Ltd is focusing on new customer acquisition, high definition technology and digitization to strengthen its position in the highly competitive DTH market. In December last year a bill has been passed that mandates complete digitization of cable TV across the country by December 2014. As a part of its product portfolio expansion, the company has already launched a new high definition (HD) digital video recorder -- The Dish truHD+-- that will be sold to consumers at Rs.2,690. Dish TV is also offering a free upgrade to its consumers who already own an HD set-to-box. Those Paid Members, who took the scrip yesterday, must be benefited.
Among all the controversies, it is good to see that the UPA government has shown some courage to take a bold decision on GAAR. However, the government should do away with the silly "RETROSPECTIVE CLAUSE", to trap companies like Vodafone Ltd---this is devoid of any ethics. However, the government has already clarified that it will not target participatory notes or P-Notes in a blanket manner under its newly proposed rules targeting tax avoidance. TV reports citing unnamed finance ministry officials on Tuesday, 27 March 2012 said that the finance ministry will not be chasing after P-Notes, or derivative products that allow foreign investors to invest anonymously into Indian equities, as part of its recently proposed General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR) which comes into effect from 1 April 2012. GAAR will help the tax authority deal with commercial transactions that are structured essentially to circumvent tax laws and avoid paying taxes. If the revenue authority concludes that a transaction by any entity is aimed primarily at avoiding taxes, it will be able to deny tax benefits claimed by the entity. The detailed guideline that is expected to be issued will provide some clues on how the GAAR provisions are to be applied in practice. Investments coming to India through tax havens like Mauritius could also be subject to General Anti-Avoidance Rules. A large portion of FIIs investing into India are domiciled in Mauritius. The double taxation avoidance agreement (DTAA) that India has signed with Mauritius enables tax on securities transaction to be taxed in the country where the company is resident. Since capital gains tax rate in Mauritius is zero, foreign investors buying or selling Indian stocks through the Mauritius route get away by paying no capital gains tax. I find one positive from this move, if some of the FIIs are taxed then some slippage of revenues will be saved and this will address the problems of gaping fiscal deficits. Also, how is that when the citizens of India are bound to pay capital gains tax, the FIIs coming through shell companies and having namesake offices in Mauritius escape the Indian tax net? This should not be allowed at any cost, even if FIIs take money out...this goes against the spirit of the constitution of India. It is good that at last government has taken some steps to stop this unhealthy practice and plug this gap of tax avoidance. I find this move to be neutral as long as high interest regime prevails and foreign funds pour money in Indian debt instruments. What is needed at this hour is to cut the rates, so that Indian Industry becomes competitive. But then I do not know when those at the FMO or the RBI would take this decision!! I do not understand why the government is only targeting on curtailing the demand to curb inflation, instead of addressing both the demand-supply co-ordinates. Moreover, the FMO and those sitting in the RBI and drawing fat salaries from the poor peoples tax money, should ensure that the image of the India as an investment destination is not hampered in anyway. Or else rupee would slide and it will further create complications, making the task of controlling inflation even difficult. I do not now if the deaf and dumb authorities in the Indian government are listening to me or not!! Both the RBI and the FMO has already blacked their faces in their efforts to bring a balance towards controlling inflation and growth. But then some light could be seen at the end of the tunnel, after this bold step---let us see how much this would plug India's  yawning fiscal deficit.

Nifty surged ahead as a buy call was given to the Paid Service members at around 5204, with a SL of 5170, for a target of 5250--5275. I think today, most of the Paid Members made good money from the buy call on Nifty. 
The Bank Nifty soared as a buy call was initiated in the counter. The following call was given during the market  hours, both to the Free and Paid Members: Buy Bank Nifty at 10060, T--10900, SL--9990.
There is no stopping of Dish TV Ltd as the stock today, was on the verge of breaking Rs.62 mark. The stock earlier touched my first target of Rs.61. I think the stock has more upsides left, as the media industry is going for rapid digitization, which is positive for Dish TV Ltd. 
IFCI Ltd recommended today, around Rs.40.35, surged to Rs.41.90, before closing flat. The bank stocks are expected to surge ahead in the coming days, as the RBI has now no option but to cut rates,  because the INR is stabilizing against the USD. Though many of the market Pundits are predicting a cut of 75 basis points (Max) for the whole year, I think, the RBI needs to cut the rates a little more deeper, if the GDP, estimates of 2012-13 are to be fulfilled. The kind of rates, we now  have are abnormal and cannot be pursued for long. I  hope the whole RBI team has not gone full rabid along with the current FM, who is a novice in the Financial Sector, but is unfortunately occupying this position. The simple fact is that with this kind of rates we now have, it will only fuel inflation, instead of lowering it.....Only cutting demands is not the solution, the government should crack down on hoarders and open the grounds for more imports if the inflation is to come down. However, I do not understand one thing, when we are in a growing economy, what is there to fear so much about inflation unless it touches double digits. When the Maharashtra Rent Control act gives provisions to increase the rent by as much as 15% per annam, then why the government is spending so much resources in this single, factor, "Inflation"??!! If the government is so concerned about inflation, then why did it increase service tax and other duties? The ghost lies elsewhere!! The moot point is that the government  wants to garner the votes of pensioners and those who are keeping all the ill-got money in Banks/Financial institutions--this section gets benefited in high interest regimes, at the cost of common man, who has to pay more, if a company increases the price of a car due to increase in duty. Isn't it? Did you find how RIL benefited from the idle money and ECBs taken at much lower interest rates and then putting the same money in Indian fixed deposits. An interesting point is that our current FM belongs to this category too (age group)---so he and his friends would be benefited (by the way of earnings from fixed deposits and short term deposits) as long as the interest rates are abnormally kept high on the name of controlling inflation. Very cunning ploy indeed!! So, raise your voice, and show to the world how the RBI in collusion with the government is looting people--the common man. I am sure most of the RBI officials also knows about this trick, but they cannot open their mouths due to government strictures.
Market Mantra
I shall be hiking the price of the Paid Services from 1st May, 2012, to factor in inflation
Today's afternoon, recommendation to the Paid Service Members is: Buy Bank Nifty at 10060, T--10900, SL--9990.
Buy IFCI Ltd at Rs.40.30--40.35, T--Rs.42.70, SL-Rs.39. Any positive effect on the bank Nifty would have multiplying effect on this counter as it works in various verticals.With the rupee recovering today, the prospects of the RBI cutting interest rate has again become bright. Buy all the bank shares to the hilt.
There is no Stopping of Dish TV Ltd as the stock touched its first target of Rs.61. The stock should have large targets as the scrip was recommended near the all time lows. 
What was the message sent to the Paid Group on Nifty and where would it find resistance and supports today....? What to do with naked shorts....? Now Nifty is around 5204, where is it expected to close today...?
Buy Reliance Industries Ltd at Rs.721, T--Rs.758, SL--Rs.698. With the government pulling all its sleeves, to go all out for FDI in multi-brand retail (FDI in single brand retail is already there), the company is expected to get a rub-off benefit. I have heard (unconfirmed news), that Wall Mart has already taken in a large area in a shopping mall in a prime location in Hyderabad, to start its operations.
Govt raises interest rates of small savings
 I am going to increase the price of my Paid Packages from 1st May, 2012. Hence those who want to enroll should do it before that to avail of the current rates.....
There is good news for people investing in small saving schemes such as Post office time deposits, National Saving Certificates (NSC) or Public Provident Fund (PPF).
The Finance Ministry has increased the rates by up to half a percentage point for 2012-13 on various small saving schemes.

But, despite this increase, rates on the small savings are still lower than interest rate on bank deposits.

The average rate on bank deposits with varying maturity is 8.5 to 9.25 per cent. The new rates on small savings (except 5-year senior citizen saving schemes) would be in the range of 8.2 to 8.9 per cent.

In an order issued here on Monday, the Ministry of Finance said that the new rates will be effective from April 1, 2012. The rates have been revised on the basis of change in the rates on Government Securities (G-Sec). This has been done on the recommendations made by the Shyamala Gopinath Committee.

People investing in one-year time deposits will gain the most, as the rate here has gone up by maximum of half percentage point, while NSC and PPF depositors will benefit by 20 basis points. There has been no change on savings deposits without any fixed maturity.

Small savings, despite tax incentives, have not been a favourite with small depositors. Experts believe that one of the reasons for this is the lower interest rates in comparison with other instruments available. Hence, there has been net outflow from the small savings.

According to the revised estimate given in the Budget, the net outflow is likely to be over Rs 10,000 crore during 2011-12. During 2012-13, the Finance Ministry estimates there will be net inflow of nearly Rs 1,200 crore.

India burns, the Government laughs
Yes, this should be the appropriate headline, denoting the current economic scenario in India. The UPA government with an out of sync FM, a Blind Prime Minister, a former "London Bar Maid", as the President of the INC, and a regressive ally in the form of Tinomool Congress (TMC) are out there to destroy India, bits by bits. The government does not care to listen to anyone, except, belching out long promises. 
If you could remember, the current Finance Minister was the defense minister when 26/11 happened, and till today, we know nothing much has happened in the said investigation---not a single overseas operator has been brought to book nor Pakistan has stopped sponsoring terrorism to India--it is back to square one, with minister changing the office. This inefficient, Defense Minister is now the Finance Minister of this great country---so what more can we expect other than incompetency. He says, "The government is committed to meeting fiscal deficit, expenditure and subsidy targets fixed in the Budget" but till now we neither saw any road map nor any action plan in this direction. He has been saying, since the last couple of  years, "Budget is not the only place to address all the problems", but till now we saw nothing from his office, worthwhile to be discussed; except some drops here and there....
Adding to the towering inferno, is a pet-dog-of-government- kind-of-Central Bank, the infamous RBI, whose office bearers are drawing fat salaries, from the poor tax payers money, just for doing nothing; may be only to hold endless meetings and obeying the government orders to the book. From their behaviour during the last couple of  years, it appears that they might be deriving sadistic pleasure from the fall in the markets and umpteen problems in the industry. A pure case of Saddam Hussein type regime, where people were treated worst than zoo animals!!
So, what is the way out:
(i) To use every forum, to canvass for the demise of the UPA government at the earliest.
(ii) Come and vote out this incompetent government(and some of its mindless and regressive allies), which is out there to burn this great country to ashes, with their ill conceived and motivated politics. 
When the industry is sinking, the government chose fit to increase the service tax, to make merry with the government funds once again, which left little room for interest rate rise. When, we are already having high inflation and the industry is suffering from high interest rate regime for more than one and  half year, was it justified to hit their heads again, with this kinds of odd rate hikes??!!  
What I feel is that: the days are not far when India might have a French Revolution, type incident, as Indians are getting increasingly tired of the misrule of UPA and the regressive methods used by some of  its allies like Trinomool Congress, who are there to rule, at the cost of  selling the heads of common man.
At the end, what I feel is that unless some of the heads of the current UPA regime goes under guillotine, the common man might continue to suffer from the fiendish misrule of the UPA regime. When we had a strong economy gifted from the NDA, this UPA regime destroyed it completely in the last few years, by scams and ill-conceived anti-Industry policies. These fellows owe an answer to its citizens, who are paying taxes and other duties.
The citizens of this country, should now make preparations to get rid of a BLIND PRIME MINISTER and his cabinet ministers before it is too late or else India could tread the path of Greece or Italy in the near future, with ballooning fiscal deficit and no concrete steps to rein it. Also, the example of Dr.M M Singh shows that a person who is academically brilliant or with good academic background may not necessarily be a good administrator or a minister.
Also, what is ironical is that when the world is looking for growth the Indian Finance Minister and the RBI is talking of reducing growth. Huh!! Interesting isn't it??!! These people should be made visiting lectures at Harvard University, for these kinds of high-voltage thinking.....God help this country and its people...........!!

 FM prepares ground for bold moves
Says reining in subsidies would require broad consensus among political parties
BS Reporter / New Delhi Mar 25, 2012
A day after Petroleum Minister Jaipal Reddy assured oil marketing companies (OMCs) of taking up the issue of raising fuel prices with the empowered group of ministers (EGoM) concerned, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said reining in subsidies would require taking tough decisions in the coming months.
Interacting with members of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Mukherjee, also the EGoM’s chairman, said Budget was not the only exercise through which all work was to be done. “In meeting the targets under the road map (of fiscal deficit), I am conscious of the fact that the government would need to take and implement some difficult decisions in the coming months,” he said.
“Many of the decisions which we shall have to take shortly require a broad consensus among the wide range of political parties and all other stakeholders,” Mukherjee said.
OMCs are demanding prices of petrol, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and kerosene be raised. They are losing Rs.13.10 a litre on diesel, Rs.28.67 a litre on kerosene and Rs.439 per 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder. OMCs don’t get compensation for selling subsidised petrol. But now, they are demanding Rs.4,500 crore in compensation to meet losses.
Reddy had said he could not take the decision (on raising prices) alone and would raise the issue at the EGoM. As of now, there is no meeting scheduled for EGoM.
Petrol was officially decontrolled in June 2010, but it soon became politically unviable to allow a price hike, with a host of state Assembly elections lined up. Despite being decontrolled, petrol’s price has not been revised in line with the market price since November. Diesel and LPG prices were last raised in June 2011 and kerosene prices in June 2010.
Earlier when asked whether the Budget move not to increase the excise duty on diesel cars might be interpreted as taking oil reform measures outside the Budget, Mukherjee had said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would hold discussions with all political parties and state governments to build a consensus on the issue.
Yesterday, Reddy had said the government was not contemplating decontrol of diesel prices. The government has agreed in-principle to decontrol diesel prices, but the decision is yet to be executed. The Economic Survey for 2011-12 suggested a fixed subsidy for every litre of diesel sold as an interim measure before the fuel price was decontrolled.
Mukherjee assured the industry once again that the government was committed to meeting fiscal deficit, expenditure and subsidy targets fixed in the Budget.
However, critics pointed out subsidies were not adequate, given the behaviour of oil prices in international markets. The government had earmarked Rs.23,640 crore as petroleum subsidy for 2011-12, but it was scaled up to Rs.68,481 crore in the revised estimates. For 2012-13, the government has kept a provision of Rs.43,580 crore as oil subsidy.
For 2011-12, the Budget had assumed crude oil prices for the Indian basket to be $90 a barrel, but it was revised to $115 in this Budget. For 2012-13, the government has assumed the price to be $120 a barrel. Global crude oil prices for the Indian basket rule at over $122 a barrel.
Fiscal deficit is estimated to shoot up to 5.9 per cent of gross domestic product this financial year, from 4.7 per cent in Budget estimates. The government has set a fiscal deficit target of 5.1 per cent for next financial year.
“2011-12 saw distortion in our fiscal balance, with expenditure slippage on account of higher subsidy and growth slowdown affecting tax revenue collections. Going forward, a critical element of the strategy is to implement ambitious, but at the same time, realistic fiscal consolidation road map,” the finance minister said. The strategy involves expenditure management through a cap on subsidies at two per cent of GDP for 2012-13 and gradually taking it to 1.75 per cent over three years. Besides, the Budget was focused on additional resource mobilisation of Rs.41,400 crore, he added.

Dish TV Ltd: A Brokerage House is now Bullish on the counter
Dish TV Ltd is about to start its dream run, as the company coming up with some innovations every now and then. Creating yet another benchmark in technological innovation in the DTH industry, Dish TV India, the country’s largest direct-to-home service provider, announced the launch of Dish truHD+ with an unlimited recording capacity, at an unmatched price of Rs.2690 for the consumers, last month. The unique feature of Dish truHD+ is its compatibility with any USB device enabling consumers to simply plug and play an existing USB stick/ HDD, and build an entire library of their favorite programmes. Dish truHD+ will have dual advantage of all HD and DVR features, at the price of existing HD box only! The price of Rs.2690 includes the new Dish truHD+ box along with one month Dish truHD Royale Pack. Further, as a promotional offer Dish TV is providing a 4 GB USB drive free to get the user accustomed to the concept of plugging an external device to use the recording features. The DVR features include Record, rewind, forward, pause live TV etc. What’s more, subscribers can also enable time based and event based recording on the box.

Dish TV is India’s largest direct-to-home company and part of the biggest media conglomerate–Zee Group. Dish TV has on its platform 330+ channels and services including 21 audio channels with 12.5 million subscribers, which is growing.

By 2015, the DTH share of cable and satellite subscribers will have increased by 23 million to touch 64 million, according to PINC Research. Billions will be invested in digital technology, be it satellites in space, ground level infrastructure or user-end devices like the truHD+ DVR. 
After yesterday's break-out the scrip is heading towards Rs.62-66, in the coming days.
