THIS SHUDH DESI ROMANCE WITH SUVs DEFIES LOGIC

about 12 years ago

This craze for SUVs in a country like Dubai is understandable as fuel there is cheaper than water. But in a country like India, where fuel costs are rising and expected to only rise going ahead, interest rates are high and EMIs burn a hole in the pocket, this lure for SUVs makes no economic sense.

So the world did not end in 2012 and we all live to tell this tale! As 2012 hobbled its way to the exit door, one could not wait to see the back of this year and a push and shove, if possible was a good idea! Corruption scandals dominated the political landscape 2010 and 2011 and it was corruption and politicians again in 2012.

RBI DOES THE RIGHT THING - MAINTAINS STATUS QUO

But USA, which is always shown in Hollywood as the perpetual 'saviour of the world' will most likely remain true to its image

CORPORATE DEFAULTERS - ECONOMIC TERRORISTS BURNING A HOLE IN INDIAN BANKS

about 11 years ago

But the best news of all is undoubtedly the Govt telling state lenders that they need to strict action against the top 50 defaulters. Asking Banks to vex their muscles against the defaulting rich and powerful is a big thing - at least there is realisation that we all hold this perception that action is seldom taken against big industrialists who default on huge sums of money. Not only is no action taken but they are given more loans too!

about 13 years ago

When Goa announced, in its State Budget for FY13, a 11% reduction in its Value Added Tax (VAT) on petrol, the price of petrol was to come down by Rs.11/litre. It first seemed like a typo error! After all, have we ever heard of any Budget announcing a rate cut in petrol?

This move to selectively tax those who are misusing lower diesel prices to buy fuel guzzling SUVs which run like lawn mowers on the roads, threatening to mow down anyone who comes in their way is a step in the right direction. This way, the farmers and the truckers, for whom the price of diesel has been kept lower

WHO CARES ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT?

As an Environment Minister, Ms.Natarajan would have surely visited a few national parks and tiger reserves over the past one year that she has been in tenure?

CCI PROBE OF OMCS - A FUTILE EXERCISE

about 13 years ago

CCI believes there is cartelization in increasing and decreasing prices of a deregulated commodity such as petrol by the 3 state OMCs. Logic warrants that cartelization is undertaken only with an objective to benefit. If the OMCs are losing money on every litre of petrol they sell, how can the alleged cartelization stand to fleece the consumers and benefit the companies? Under-recovery, in no language, stands for 'gains'!

IS FDI THE ONLY WAY TO "ECONOMIC REFORM"?

about 13 years ago

One thread running common through most big bang reforms is - FDI. And this raises a big question - are today reforms only about FDI and only through FDIs? So are we confusing reforms with foreign investments? Or is it because there simply is nothing else which can be done?

NEW BANKING LICENCES - WILL RBI ACT AS THE FM URGES TO SPEED UP?

about 13 years ago

SC VERDICT ON COAL - BOLD AND APT

about 11 years ago

EVERYTHING KING -SIZE – THAT’S THE MOTTO!

NET NEUTRALITY IS BACK IN NEWS!

Net Neutrality is back on the discussion menu! Two years ago, everyone was talking about it and all of a sudden it died down. Once again it is being debated ferociously and this is thanks to USA.

THE AUTO EXPO SHOW – MANY OPTING OUT?

about 8 years ago

The Auto Expo show in New Delhi in 2014 was very BIG news; it was almost euphoric with almost all vehicle makers wanting to display new models.

UNION BUDGET FY19- IT’S ALL ABOUT BHARAT

about 8 years ago

In one word – good. This is a good Budget. Maybe the first 20 minutes or so sounded more like an Election speech, getting ready for 2019 but from then on, it has been a well thought of, detailed Budget. We talk about rising inequality and inclusive growth – well, this is Budget is all about the farmer and rural India; trying to raise people on the lowest rung of the economic ladder to a higher rung and bringing in more to the ladder at least.

THE ALL IMPORTANT OPEC MEET – RELEVANCE FOR INDIA

about 7 years ago

It was a night of drama at the OPEC meet yesterday night at Vienna. Bijan Namdar Zanganeh, the Iranian oil minister walked out of the meeting in a huff and puff. Russia and Saudi have recommended a supply boost while Iran held its stand that they will not back this output rise. Iran does have a veto power but it is unlikely that this veto could have any effect; Riyadh might act unilaterally to boost output or abandon the 2016 cuts deal entirely.

Supreme Court (SC) squashing the “Feb 12th circular” was a shocker! We are now back to square one, forced to go back to the old system which hollowed out the entire banking system. The Feb 12th circular from the RBI was like a sweeping but very stringent way of dealing with India’s mounting NPAs.

SUVs MAKERS ARE MIFFED! SO ARE BUYERS!!

about 8 years ago

The Govt’s policy all through has been that of taxing those with money and give benefits to the poor. This hike in cess on SUVs and luxury cars is just one more of the same ideology. The idea is that if you have money to buy a SUV or luxury car, surely you can afford this increased cess.

‘SUV’IVAL OF THE (UN)FITTEST!

about 8 years ago

Yet, the latest report is baffling, defying all that we actually see on the ground – from the data provided by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, it appears that one out of every four cars sold in India is now an SUV. So much so that it is today eating away a large portion of the passenger car pie. Hyundai Creta and Maruti Vitara Brezza are the top selling ‘compact'....

WILL THE BSE EVER GET LISTED?

about 10 years ago

Arun Jaitley, our FM has just returned from a 10-day trip to USA; his objective - to garner more FDI for the country. While he has been waxing eloquent about how one can make investments in India; he urged US investors to look at India as a destination where investments can now be committed without delay. Really? Well, that reality apart, what must have really come as totally unexpected and unexpected would have been the question on BSE listing. While telling investors that things in India now move very fast, he was probably put in a tight corner over the almost decade long delay in getting the premier stock exchange of India, Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) listed.

ROLLOUT OF GST - GAINERS GALORE

PIPAVAV TANKING - MORE ABOUT ADAG PERCEPTION

about 10 years ago

Pipavav is in a sad state today. The stock has held on firmly to being the top loser and the pain is expected to continue for a day or two more. In an ideal world, when a company which is struggling to keep its head above the water, gets bought over by a group which is well known and has an established brand equity, one would have expected the marketmen to heave a sigh of relief, leading to a surge in the stock price. But here,

"RBI, in very short period of time, has cut repo rate twice. It is expected from the bankers that they pass on the benefits (to consumers)," said RBI Deputy Governor S S Mundra. How very true. There have been two rate cuts, 25 bps each; that makes it 50 bps in this year. Yet, there has been no movement from any bank to reduce rates. Especially after the second rate cut, it was expected that banks would toe the line and bring in that token 25 bps rate cut at least.

FY16 - VISTA'S AHEAD OF SOME TRECHEROUS ROADS

about 10 years ago

It is 1st April. Maybe a Fool's day but for us ' Dalal Streeters' it is the beginning of the new fiscal, FY16. It marks the start of a new accounting year though the first month would be mostly about taking stock of the old accounts of FY15. One wonders as to how does one look at this new fiscal. It's like looking at two sides of a different coin - the mood amongst analysts and India Inc remains upbeat and they are sure that this fiscal will bring in much better results and more action. But this confidence is nowhere

about 10 years ago

Good times seem to be turning ugly. And Vijay Mallya's one long party is surely giving him the mother of all hangovers. The recent battle of turf between United Spirits Ltd (USL)/Diageo and Mallya is turning into a soap opera with each party looking suspicious. On Saturday, at a Board Meeting chaired by Mallya, the USL board asked him to resign with immediate effect as tit had lost all confidence in him.

AFTER THE DIVORCE - HERO AND HONDA, BOTH GROW STRONGER

about 10 years ago

It's been four and half years since the divorce and both, Hero as well as Honda have learnt to lead and live separate lives, so much so that one is left wondering if they were married at all in the first place. That what enterprise and growth does to even a 26 year old relationship. Hero and Honda decided to part ways in December 2010 and this winter, their split would mark 5 years of separation. This 'five year' mark is very significant as Hero

INDIAN SEEDS – MNCs WILL STOP REAPING ALL THE HARVEST

about 8 years ago

Even the puny David could bring down the mighty Goliath. If Karsenbhai Patel could bring a MNC like Hindustan Lever on its knees, why can’t one individual give sleepless nights to a giant like Monsanto, the world’s largest seed company? Prabhakara Rao. This name would be uttered like a curse in the offices of Monsanto, which till now was having a jolly good run on the Indian fields. Commanding a monopolistic 90% market share,

WILL BSE AND NSE GET LISTED IN 2016?

about 10 years ago

SEBI once again stoked the embers which had almost gone cold... after all hopes were fired up since 2006 and then there was no action. Looks like the listing of BSE and NSE is once again back in the reckoning. SEBI reviewed the listing norms and has put in place, what it see's as "fit and proper" rules for listing the bourses.

CIGARETTE MAKING - INJURIOUS TO COMPANIES HEALTH

about 10 years ago

The statutory warning should be changed - cigarette making is injurious to a company's financial health. Make cigarettes at your own risk! Seriously. If the Govt is so morally upright and so concerned about people smoking cigarettes and wants to make it as out-of-reach as possible, we cannot help but wonder why it is being allowed to be made at all? The latest has been the debacle on the proposed 40% GST on cigarette making companies. ITC tanked big time yesterday, so much so that it was probably one reason why the Sensex ended

BUDGET FY17 - BEST UNDER THE CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES

about 9 years ago

It was a roller coaster ride of a Budget. The markets fell some 600 points intra day to not only recover but jump back into the green once it read through the fine print. So, what's the verdict; how is the Budget? On a rating of 10, it scores 5. Overall, under the given circumstances, this is the best that the FM could have done. The focus, which two years earlier, when the BJP came to power, was entirely on corporate India.

Here is a quick look at some of the announcements made in the Budget and how it will impact companies in the various sectors.

AN OPEN LETTER TO PM MODI

about 9 years ago

Last year, when all were looking at your one-year report card, we felt it was too short a time to really judge. Now you have completed two years. One cursory glance at the report card and we fear that if the same trend continues, next year's report card will be marked red. First and foremost, let me feel thankful that this year, at least the last couple of months

IN SHAKESPEARE LAND, "TO LEAVE OR REMAIN" IS THE BIG QUESTION

about 9 years ago

Common sense for those of us sitting here in India, having a view from the outside to the inside says that "Remain" will win the referendum tomorrow. The murder of the young Brtiish leader, Jo Cox has bolstered the strength of "Remain" as many feel her death should not go in vain. Britain will continue to remain with European Union as the repercussions are too deep and could lead to a contagion Leave - Scotland, Ireland and maybe more countries in the EU who have been thinking

ROLLOUT OF GST - WILL IT GET THE GO-AHEAD THIS SESSION?

about 9 years ago

The monsoon session has begun and the PM has been saying very optimistic things about the Bill getting through in this session. And about time too! GST will come soon, one day for sure! Online retailing is the current "big thing" in India. Put both of these together and what do you get? Surely, logistic companies are set for some boom times ahead. A mere nod from the Cabinet for GST had sent stocks like Gati, AllCargo, Snowman, Gateway

MODI WIN – ALL DOORS ARE NOW OPEN, OPPORTUNITIES GALORE!

about 8 years ago

This is really HUGE as it shows that demonetization or not, Modi magic remained intact and people in UP booted out BSP and SP for a complete change. This win also gives Modi an almost complete mandate in India; he rules! What it also does is, it puts the onus now completely on the BJP to work on economic reforms and do all that it had all along promised to do.

‘New Energy’ Plans of RIL – Look Like Paper Projects?

Bulk of the announcements will only end up with a small side division and will NOT materially contribute to the future growth of RIL
