IMF sees India as fastest­growing economy in 2018, 2019...

Retains country’s GDP forecast at 7.4% for 2018, scales up world output estimate OUR BUREAU New Delhi, January 22

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) remains bullish on India’s growth potential and has retained its GDP forecast for the country at 6.7 per cent in 2017 and 7.4 per cent in 2018.

In its World Economic Outlook Update, it also estimated that the Indian economy would grow by 7.8 per cent in 2019, which make the country the world’s fastest­ growing economy in 2018 and 2019, the top ranking it brie y lost in 2017 to China.

“The aggregate growth fore­ cast for the emerging markets and developing economies for 2018 and 2019 is unchanged…

Growth is expected to…pick up in India…,” said the report, which was released ahead of the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos.

...but on inclusive growth, still lags behind Sri Lanka, Pakistan India comes in at 62 on WEF index seen as an ‘alternative’ to GDP OUR BUREAU New Delhi, January 22

Despite an improved perform­ ance, India continues to be ranked below neighbours Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal in the Inclusive Development Index released by the World Economic Forum.

India has been ranked 62 out of 74 emerging economies on a metric focussed on the living standards of people and future­ proo ng of economies by the WEF. Pakistan has been ranked 47, Sri Lanka is at 40, and Nepal at 22; Uganda (59) and Mali (60) are also higher on the index than India.

This Inclusive Development In­ dex has been developed as a new metric of national economic per­ formance as an alternative to GDP.

Millet Mission to promote nutrient­rich cereals; 800­crore outlay on the cards Likely to be announced in Budget; will help tackle malnutrition, support ryots VISHWANATH KULKARNI Bengaluru, January 22

In the National Year of Mil­ lets, the Centre proposes to adopt a mission­mode ap­ proach to promote the nutri­ ent­rich cereals, including sorghum, ragi and foxtail millets.

O cial sources said a Mil­ let Mission is being proposed with an outlay of 800 crore for the next two years to boost production of these cereals, which are naturally rich with protein and nutri­ ents such as iron, calcium and zinc, and also consume less water and inputs, thus being ecologically sustain­ able.

Finance Minister Arun Jait­ ley is expected to make an an­ nouncement in the forth­ coming Budget on the provision for the Millet Mis­ sion, under the National Food Security Mission.

Nutrition security The proposed mission, apart from aiming to boost sup­ plies of these nutri­cereals, is expected to help address the issue of nutrition security. It will be implemented in at least 16 of the 21 States that grow millets.

Besides supporting farm­ ers with technical inputs, in­ cluding seeds, the mission will focus on farm­gate pro­

cessing, aggregation, and provide linkages to the value addition industry and mar­ kets.

Also, seed hubs are being planned in major millet growing States and a referral lab is being set up at the Hy­ derabad­based Indian Insti­ tute of Millets Research to give a fresh impetus to R&D activities. On the demand side, the proposed mission

will focus on creating con­ sumer awareness.

India, which grows over half­a­dozen varieties of mil­ lets, produces around 20 mil­ lion tonnes of these nutri­cer­ eals, which make up about 7 per cent of the country’s over­ all foodgrain output of around 275 mt.

Pearl millet (bajra, over 9 mt) and sorghum (jowar, over 6 mt) account for a ma­ jor chunk of the millet out­ put, followed by nger millet (ragi, at over 2 mt).

The minor millets such as foxtail, kodo and proso millet account for less than a mil­ lion tonnes.

Millets in mid-day meal Speaking on the national roadmap for millets at the In­ ternational Trade Fair on or­

ganics and millets in Bengaluru last week­end, Ag­ riculture Secretary SK Pat­ tanayak said the NITI Aayog has recommended including millets in the public distribu­ tion system.

Making a pitch for inclu­ sion of millets into the mid­ day meal schemes in schools, especially in aanganwadis, where they can help tackle malnutrition, Pattanayak also called upon growers to place millets on the super­ market shelves of the US. In fact, Akshaya Patra, the mid­day meal implementing agency in Karnataka, has re­ cently launched a pilot with a millet­based diet in Bengaluru and has started distributing a millet­based snack to schoolchildren in Telangana.

The study said, “The country performs best (44th) in terms of Intergenerational Equity and Sustainability, pro ting from a low dependency ratio that is set to further decline as the eco­ nomy reaps the dividends of an extremely young population (28 per cent of the Indian population was younger than 14 years in 2017).”

Though the incidence of poverty has declined in India over the past ve years, six out of 10 Indians still live on less than $3.20 per day.

Both labour productivity and GDP per capita posted strong growth rates over the past ve years, while employment growth has slowed. Healthy life expect­ ancy also increased by approxim­ ately three years to 59.6, the study added.

Norway tops the chart According to the study, Norway tops the chart followed by Ice­ land and Luxemburg in ad­ vanced economies.

Lithuania, Hungary, and Azerbaijan are the toppers among the emerging economies.

IAS officer Sanjeev Kaushik declines SEBI job PALAK SHAH Mumbai, January 22

Sanjeev Kaushik, the 1992 batch Kerala cadre IAS o cer who was appointed as a whole­time member with cap­ ital markets regulator SEBI, has declined the o er.

Kaushik (48) has nearly 12 years of government service left but was asked to resign by the Central government to take up the job at SEBI, where he was appointed whole­time member for three years.

Kaushik, currently on depu­ tation with the Finance Min­ istry, has instead chosen to go back to Kerala to take up the post of Principal Secretary, a source told BusinessLine.

The government has made it mandatory for IAS o cers to resign from service if they take up the whole­time mem­ ber post with SEBI. Details p12

With SEBI raising bar for MFs, more underperformers may emerge Benchmarking with total returns index will affect large­cap funds the most ANALYSIS PARVATHA VARDHINI C BL Research Bureau

SEBI’s move to mandate bench­ marking mutual funds’ per­ formance to the Total Returns Index (TRI) from February 1 rather than the price index could increase the number of underdogs in funds.

In 2017, almost half the 30 funds benchmarked to the BSE 100 index underperformed this index; two­thirds of the mid­ cap funds benchmarked to the Nifty Midcap 100 index fared worse than this index; and 43 per cent of the funds bench­ marked to the Nifty 500 index did not outdo this index.

This under­performance can worsen when the TRI is used.

TRI increases the benchmark return as it takes the dividend payout of stocks also into ac­

count besides capital appreci­ ation. Quantum Mutual Fund, DSPBR Mutual Fund and Edel­ weiss Mutual Fund are already using TRIs to measure perform­ ance.

A study of the returns from 2011 shows that TRIs have bettered the price indices by 1­2 percentage points every year since then. This outperform­ ance remains when consider­ ing returns over 1­, 3­ and 5­year periods, too.

Challenges ahead Mandatory benchmarking to the TRI implies that active fund managers may have to work harder to outdo the bench­ mark. And that is easier said than done. For one, this changeover comes at a time when, as per SEBI’s direction, a process of categorisation and rationalisation of mutual fund schemes is in the works. Under

this, SEBI has brought in a stricter de nition of large­ , mid­ and small­cap stocks as well as funds. These changes are expected to a ect large­cap funds the most. Consider this; six out of the 36 funds bench­ marked to the Nifty 50 re­ turned lower than the bench­ mark in the 2017 rally when considering the price index.

But, compare it with the Nifty 50 TRI, the number of under­ performers double to 12.

Higher expense ratios charged by diversi ed large­ cap funds for their active man­ agement compared with the ETFs / index funds and narrow­ ing return di erential between these two categories are expec­ ted to give a leg­up to such pass­ ive funds.

On the other hand, while mid­cap funds did have a bad 2017, moving to TRIs may not af­ fect them as much as large­ caps, says Radhika Gupta, CEO,

Edelweiss Mutual Fund. “If your fund size is reasonable, you are doing bottom up stock picking and betting on under­re­ searched sectors and stories, beating a TRI benchmark will not be a problem for mid­cap funds in the next few years,”she explains.

However, Radhika adds that large­size mid­cap funds that have asset sizes of 10,000 crore or more may nd the go­ ing di cult after these changes as they would restrict their universe.

Secondly, as TRI is a more

stringent benchmark, fund houses will also have to take a re­look at whether their present benchmarks are apt.

Says Kunal Bajaj, Founder and CEO, Clearfunds.com: “SEBI’s January 2018 diktat on benchmarking to the TRI also requires mutual funds to select a benchmark that is in align­ ment with the investment ob­ jective, asset allocation pattern and investment strategy of the scheme.” Currently, inappro­ priate benchmarks for many funds drive up their outper­ formance.

IFMR Capital facilitates SPiCE bond transaction

I

FMR Capital has facilitated a 50­ crore debt for Jaipur­based NBFC Ess Kay Fincorp Pvt Ltd through two single issue partially credit enhanced bond, also known as SPiCE bond, transactions. SPiCE bond is a unique product structure introduced for the rst time in the corporate sector, according to IFMR Capital.

Sundaram Asset Management Co and Principal PNB Asset Management Co have subscribed to the debentures. The tenure of both issuances, rated A(SO), is 24 months.

The uniqueness of this structure is in the unconditional and irrevocable partial guarantee of 24 per cent provided by IFMR Capital and an additional security cover pool.

The guarantee and the cover pool reduce risks for investors and provides credit enhancement for the issuance. Ess Kay has been one of the bene ciaries of IFMR Capital’s product structuring in the last one year. In August, it raised 25 crore through market and credit linked debenture.

Though Aavishkaar has more experience in investing in social enterprises, it does not have the brand equity of a TPG, says Vineet, adding that there is an opportunity for Aavishkaar to become much better known. “If we don’t do that, we will con­

tinue to remain small,” he adds.

He wants to make Aaviskhaar the go­to company for man­ aging or handling large impact funds in future.

He maintains that India re­ mains the priority for Aav­ ishkaar, but that does not mean it will ignore international op­ portunities. “It is doing India and going international,” he says.

Aavishkaar has so far raised $200 million through ve funds.

In 2017, it achieved a rst close of $95 million of a $200­million Aavishkaar Bharat Fund. This fund will have to raise the re­ maining $105 million in the next 12 months. Aavishkaar invests in six sectors – nancial services, clean energy, water and sanita­ tion, agriculture and rural busi­ ness, healthcare, and education and vocational training.

On Aavishkaar’s investment strategy, Vineet says it will invest in a venture right from the idea stage. Most often, Aavishkaar is the rst investor in a venture. It writes cheques from 2­3 crore up to 100 crore. Once it closes the $200­million Bharat Fund, it will be able to write even larger cheques, according to him.

The Aavishkaar­Intellecap group has a network of compan­ ies that provide equity nan­ cing, venture debt and con­ sultancy.

The group’s subsidiaries include Arohan, a micro nance company; Intel­ leGrow, a venture debt com­ pany; and IntelleCash, a mi­ cro nance incubation company.

Vineet believes that nancial services will continue to remain one of the most attractive sec­ tors for both entrepreneurs and investors.

Overseas expansion It will continue to focus on these sectors, even when it expands its presence in Asia and enters sub­ Saharan Africa. So far, Aav­ ishkaar has invested in 58 com­ panies and exited its invest­ ments in 23, leaving it with a portfolio of 35 companies. From its exits, it got an average of 3.3 times return in dollar terms, which, says Vineet, is quite a good return.

Aavishkaar will invest in 15 companies in the next 3­4 years.

Target areas There may be more innovations, emerging models and new thought processes. He also be­ lieves that a ordable housing will be a large sector, probably bigger than even micro nance, given the thrust that the Centre is giving to it.

“We believe that agriculture across the board is going to be a huge sector, given the signi c­ ant change in the palette of Indi­ ans. We are eating di erent food now and the innovation that

will take place in that space is going to be signi cant,” says Vineet.

Another sector that Aav­ ishkaar expects serious action is logistics. This will not be typical logistics companies, but those that create value for a farmer.

For instance, he says, Aavishkaar has invested in Ergos, which is building an integrated agricul­ ture supply chain and has cre­ ated a network of micro­ware­ houses close to farm lands in Bihar. “What you have to do is de ne your area,” says Vineet.

For example, he says, Aav­ ishkaar has invested in Connect India, which is building the last mile distribution network for e­ commerce companies like Amazon. “Connect India is creat­ ing massive jobs in rural India through an entrepreneurial op­ portunity.” It is also allowing a rural Indian to have access to the same product from an e­ commerce company like Amazon that urban Indians can easily buy. And, it is expanding the market for e­commerce companies, adds Vineet.

According to him, Aav­ ishkaar’s assets under manage­ ment has crossed $300 million, while that of the Aavishkaar­In­ tellecap group’s is over $650 mil­ lion. By this scal year­end, Vin­ eet reckons that the group’s assets under management will be in excess of $800 million.

Strike while the iron is hot. Noth­ ing can be truer for an entrepren­ eur. In an era, where opportunit­ ies come eeting, seizing the moment when it presents is crit­ ical. As the third largest start­up hub in the world, India has been the sun­shine country for start­ ups and ventures, particularly in the last two­three years.

First, the policy environment has been favourable for creating start­ups. For example, there are at least 14 di erent departments and ministries at the Centre that have launched policies and schemes for start­ups since 2014. Not to be left behind, several States have joined the act — 22 have formally come out with innovation and start­up policies in the last three years. The cumulative targets aimed by the States till 2022 present a compelling picture.

While only time will tell whether these ambitious targets would be realised, the magnitude of these targets indicates the emphasis given by States to promote start­ ups. Clearly, the focus is on creat­ ing mighty oaks from small acorns. Entrepreneurs should take advantage of the favourable policy environment in launching their ventures.

Policy framework Second, there has been a paradigm shift in the policy framework as well. As they say, “Farmers and gardeners know that one cannot make a plant grow. The plant grows itself. What is to be done is provide conditions for growth.” In the same tune, the

policies have been more focussed on creating an ecosystem for start­ ups. While the initial attempts have been to create start­up funds, the policy framework has become more holistic recently.

For example, the policies focus on institutional reforms that aims to ease the setting up and opera­ tion of start­ups, creation and de­ velopment of infrastructure, fo­ cus on providing industry and market linkages, creation of aca­ demic and university linkages, in­ centives and concessions, thrust on promoting start­ups through events and awards. Each of these bene t start­ups in di erent ways.

University linkages help start­ups access scienti c, technology and research expertise whereas in­ dustry linkages help in providing the initial market access for them.

Incentives and concessions help conserve cash for the start­up by reimbursements of duties and fees and subsidising patenting costs. Since creation of infrastruc­ ture involves signi cant external­ ities and may not be commer­ cially viable or have long gestation periods for break even, public sec­ tor is well equipped to undertake such investments. The govern­ ments have also realised that cre­ ation of infrastructure can bene t many generations of start­ups.

Inclusivity & democratisation Third, the policies are character­ ised by high level of inclusivity and democratisation. One does not have be a part of the “old boys’ network” to avail of the policy be­ ne ts. While the venture capital and other segments of the in­ vestor community focus on creat­ ing successful start­ups and achieving nancial returns, the government policies focus more on elements that lead to an in­ crease in the overall levels of start­ up activity. The thinking is that not only would this enable cre­ ation of more start­ups thus in­ creasing the pipeline for in­ vestors, but also result in start­ups that are more investment ready, resulting in a win­win situation for both the investor and the en­ trepreneur.

The start­up policy environ­ ment in the country is on a high tide today and it is up to the entre­ preneur to seize the moment. In a country that has been regularly embroiled in scams, starting with aerospace to co ns, the start­up landscape has been comparat­ ively untainted. For an earnest en­ trepreneur, this can be the most heartening feature.

Ask Pradeep Gulipalli, co­founder and Chief Delivery O cer of ana­ lytics rm Tiger Analytics, to give an example of the kind of work they do and he recalls one of the earliest projects they took up. It was in the railway industry, where, he says, one of the biggest expenses for a railway company is the wheels, which have to be re­ placed nearly every three years due to wear and tear. The di­ lemma for railway companies is to when exactly replace the wheels. If they replace them too early, they have replaced good wheels. But if they delay the re­ placement, there is the risk of accidents.

Overseas, governments have mandated that sensors be tted at various points on the track.

These sensors send out signals when a train passes over. Based on the signal, it is possible, says Pra­ deep, to nd out whether the wheel has gone bad or is still in good shape. One of the problems, he adds, that their customer was facing was that sometimes the sensors would become defective and send out incorrect signals.

The question was to know when the wheels was defective and when the sensor was malfunc­ tioning, he says.

Tiger came up with a solu­ tion for this. Whenever there is a signal that the wheel is bad, they re­analyse the sensor data, to nd out whether the wheel is really defective or whether the sensor is not work­ ing properly. “This was a huge suc­ cess,” says Pradeep. “Today this solution has been adopted as an industry best practice in North

America. All the signals that come from sensors there pass through this system,” adds Pradeep. “It is one of the big success stories we have had,” he says.

Tiger Analytics – founded by Mahesh Kumar, 39, Chief Execut­ ive O cer, and Pradeep, 35 – is working with is a large brokerage rm, which wants them to pre­ dict when any of its customers are going to leave them. Tiger looked at the frequency and type of trans­ actions and built mathematical models to say which customers can be considered safe bets and which customers fall under the risky category. This, according to Pradeep, helped the brokerage rm’s customer service team to intervene.

Big shift Pradeep, who has civil engineer­ ing degree from IIT Madras and a Master’s in transportation plan­ ning from the University of Texas at Austin, worked in a marketing consulting rm in Boston, doing mathematical models and simu­ lations. He says he got in touch with Mahesh, who has a Ph.D in Operations Research from MIT and a B.Tech in computer science from IIT Bombay, through a social networking site. They realised there was a big shift happening in the analytics space, where thanks

to technology it was possible to crunch large amounts of data, analyse it and act on it at a much more granular level.

The duo set up Tiger Analytics in early 2012, with a small initial team in the US. The India o ce, along Chennai’s IT corridor, then came up. Tiger Analytics has about 200 employees, 30­35 in the US and the rest in Chennai. Ac­ cording to Pradeep, 70 per cent of its clients are in the US and the bal­ ance in India and in Europe. The company’s focus is on nancial services industry and retail Con­ sumer Packaged Goodsindustry.

According to Pradeep, they star­ ted o working with smaller com­ panies that needed data to be ana­ lysed, but could not do it either themselves or hire external con­ sultants. Over the last three years, it has started working with large enterprise clients, thanks to refer­ rals. Tiger Analytics has been com­ pletely bootstrapped and has not raised any external funding. Pra­ deep feels there is no need for them to raise funds for the mo­ ment. It has revenues of about 65 crore ($10 million), three­ fourths of which come from the US, and is growing at a healthy rate.

This is the Golden Age of fintech inclusion: Accion’s Michael Schlein The international non-profit organisation invests in and helps grow ventures in the fintech and inclusion space N RAMAKRISHNAN

“India, in the world of nancial in­ clusion, is the centre of the world,” says Michael Schlein, President and CEO, Accion, an international or­ ganisation that invests in nancial inclusion and ntech ventures across the world.

The Indian government, accord­ ing to him, has taken a lot of smart decisions and created an infrastruc­ ture and ecosystem that is helping companies in the nancial inclu­ sion and ntech sectors. “That is how we can build a nancially in­ clusive world.” From an outside perspective, the Jan Dhan accounts and Aadhaar have contributed im­ mensely to nancial inclusion.

Michael says “there is a lot that we learn in India that we can export to the world.”

He says Accion partners with the Economist Intelligence Unit to an­ nually rank 65 countries on what they do to promote nancial inclu­ sion. In the last couple of years, ac­ cording to him, India is the most improved player.

“They have jumped to the top of the list.” More importantly, he points out, a regulator in this area can look around and see who is reg­

ulating the best and adapt those practices.

Accion, a non­pro t organisa­ tion, works towards nancial inclu­ sion and invests in start­ups in the nancial technology space. It in­ vests in and helps grow seed­stage start­ups that meet the needs of the under­served. It invests through Ac­ cion Venture Lab, a seed­stage im­ pact investment initiative, provid­ ing capital to start­ups that are innovating for nancial inclusion.

It helps established and innovative enterprise maximise their impact through the Accion Frontier Inclu­ sion Fund, in which Accion is the anchor investor, general partner

and sponsor. This fund is managed

by Quona Capital and invests in ntech innovation. Through the Centre for Financial Inclusion, a think tank it has created, Accion in­ volved in advocacy and research on policy issues.

Accion, according to Michael, in­ vests from the seed stage to Series A and Series B stages. That is, it writes cheques starting from $100,000 to a few million dollars, in one or more rounds, and stays invested in the companies 5­7 years. In some companies, it may exit after about 8­10 years. Accion’s journey started o with helping micro nance in­ stitutions across the world – in Latin America, Africa, India. “We have helped build 65 micro nance institutions in 34 countries that today serve millions,” says Michael.

“One of the things we do is, we see innovation and we see what is working in di erent parts of the world and we can spread that. We are probably the largest seed in­ vestor in ntech for inclusion in the world,” he adds. “This,” asserts Mi­

chael, “is the Golden Age of ntech for inclusion.”

Digital era The digital revolution that is hap­ pening around the world and the developments on smartphones will help spur more innovations in nancial technology and nancial inclusion. Accion, with its global network, can help ventures in dif­ ferent parts of the world learn from one another. One of the companies in India that Accion has invested in, Artoo, is exploring partnerships with Accion portfolio companies in Latin America and Africa. Likewise, Accion is opening doors for Vind­ hya, another company in which Ac­ cion has put in money, to compan­ ies in Latin America and Africa. “We can help and we are uniquely set up to help,” says Michael, an alumnus of Massachusetts Institute of Tech­ nology and who has over three dec­

ades of international banking ex­ perience prior to joining Accion.

“We see innovation all around the world and we invest in innova­ tion regardless of the country. I think the people who are going to solve the real problems in the emer­ ging markets are going to be in the emerging markets. We prefer to in­ vest in companies where the entre­ preneurs are in the markets they operate in,” says Michael.

Michael feels that it is inevitable that large non­banking nance companies and banks will partner with ntech start­ups; some of the start­ups may even be taken over by these large institutions. “We are try­ ing to innovate and then get part­ ners to take it to scale. If you gure how to get the innovation of these start­ups with the scale of these large institutions, that is really valu­ able. That will accelerate the fu­ ture,” he adds.

NPPA chief: Drug pricing will get stringent, but will not be ‘unfriendly’ to pharma industry Supreme Court is in the last leg of hearing on pricing issue PT JYOTHI DATTA Mumbai, January 22

The drug pricing regulator may be “perceived” as being un­ friendly to the pharmaceutical industry, but that may not be entirely true, observed Bhupen­ dra Singh, Chairman of the Na­ tional Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority.

Pointing to data that NPPA had on medicines and the more recent cases of exorbitant hos­ pital bills, Singh said that a sec­ tion of the industry showed dis­ torted prices and trade margins.

While 75 per cent of the 1 lakh crore­plus industry did not show such behaviour, the re­ maining had “played too much,” he said, referring to the varying margins on the same product. In the recent cases of

Bhupendra Singh, Chairman, National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority

exorbitant hospital bills, for ex­ ample, he said, products were seen to have 1000 per cent plus margins.

A market price­based formula to cap medicine prices would be good, if the prices were not “dis­ torted” in the rst place.

At present, the Supreme Court is in its last leg of hearing a case on this issue, with health­ care advocacy groups calling for a cost­of­production based for­ mula to cap medicine prices.

When there is freedom to price a product, use it in the best interest of the consumer, Singh told industry representatives at a conclave of the Indian Drug Manufacturers’ Association.

It is unfortunate that in healthcare, patients are treated as customers he said, urging the industry to distinguish between patients and customers.

Given this backdrop, he said that the pricing regime was set to get more stringent for the

pharmaceutical industry.

Presently, all drugs on the gov­ ernment’s National List of Es­ sential Medicines are under the government’s price control mechanism.

But that said, Singh agreed that price control should not be the only approach to tackle the country’s healthcare chal­ lenges.

Government too, needed to increase its spending on healthcare, he said.

In fact, contrary to the in­ dustry perception that the NPPA played only an adversarial role, he called for a Technology Up­ gradation Fund to help small units adhere to Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) norms.

The pharma industry too, has to evolve to the next level of value­added products, he said, citing the example of the in­ fotech industry that has moved up the value chain.

London, January 22

The next submissions hearing in the extradition trial of Vijay Mallya over alleged fraud and money laundering amounting to 9,000 crore remains uncer­ tain as the lawyers are yet to agree on a mutually convenient date.

Chief Magistrate Emma Ar­ buthnot was listed to hear the case at Westminster Magis­ trates’ Court today, with the 62­ year­old embattled liquor baron exempt from attending.

However, the case was not discussed in the court as the lawyers are yet to agree on a mutually convenient date.

The next hearing date is ex­ pected within the next few weeks, to be determined intern­ ally between the legal counsels and announced at a later date.

The case had been left unde­ cided over the issue of admiss­ ibility of evidence presented by the Indian authorities at a hear­ ing earlier this month.

Judge Arbuthnot is set to rule on the issue once Mallya’s de­ fence team completes its argu­ ment claiming “absence of a strong prima facie case” and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), arguing on behalf of the Indian government, responds in favour of the evidence.

To save 100 crore in cement production cost SURESH P IYENGAR Mumbai, January 22

Nuvoco Vistas Corp (formerly Lafarge India) plans to invest 1,000 crore to set up captive power plants and waste heat recov­ ery plants at its three factor­ ies in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Rajasthan.

The company expects to save annually 100 crore with commissioning of these projects over the next two­three years.

Ujjwal Batria, Managing Director, Nuvoco Vistas Corp, told BusinessLine that the company is in the process of achieving operational excel­ lence by reducing produc­ tion cost and focusing on premium products to im­ prove the pro tability in the cut­throat competitive market.

“Currently, all the three plants are dependent on grid for the power supply.

Depending on the coal prices at the time of comple­

tion of these projects, we will be saving 2 per unit by tapping into captive power supply,” he added.

In 2016, the 7,000­crore Ahmedabad­based Nirma Group made waves by ac­ quiring 11 million tonne of cement production capacity of French cement major La­ farge for 9,400 crore, pip­ ping large companies JSW Cement and marquee in­ vestor Piramal.

With completion of the deal, 71­year­old Karsanbhai Patel, Founder and Chair­ man of Nirma, made the soap­to­soda ash enterprise the sixth largest cement manufacturer in India tak­ ing its overall capacity to 13 million tonnes.

Nuvoco engaged global consulting rm McKinsey to conduct a study on its ce­ ment business and chart out its future plan.

It has already started working on reducing cost on logistics and implemented measures to increase the contribution of its premium products which accounts for 35 per cent of its total sales.

The company will stop us­ ing Lafarge’s name in its

communication in the next four months.

However, it will continue to use the same three ce­ ment brands Concreto, Dura­ guard and Infracem to mar­ ket its products.

“We will also use Nirma’s two­million­tonne plant in Rajasthan to cross­sell products,” said Batria.

Cement demand is pick­ ing up slowly since Decem­ ber, especially from the in­ frastructure projects even while the commercial real estate projects are still lag­ ging.

Luckily for Nuvoco, he said there has been no major new capacity additions happen­ ing in the Eastern region un­ like in other markets where the supply is more than the demand.

However, the rising raw material cost is a cause of concern and cement com­ panies are expecting to pass on the incremental cost, he said.

Following successful sup­ ply of read mix concrete to Delhi and Jaipur metro pro­ jects, the company is in the race to sell RMC for Mumbai metro project.

Hyderabad, January 22

Sanitaryware company HSIL Ltd has commissioned a 160­crore manufacturing plant in Telangana which en­ ables the company to diver­ sify into CPVC and UPVC pipes business.

With this backward integ­ ration project, the company is well positioned to o er products for the entire bath­ room requirements now, in­ cluding pipes.

Located at Ishnapur in Medak district of Telangana, the pipes unit, which has a manufacturing capacity of 30,000 mt, is proposed to be doubled by 2020.

Sandip Somany, Vice­Chair­ man and Managing Director, said: “Venturing into pipes segment is a natural exten­ sion of our portfolio of bath­ room products streams from “from front of the wall” to “behind the wall”. We aspire to be among top four brands in the country over the next ve years in this space.”

“The general trend points towards increasing use of corrosion­free pipes in the country’s growing plumbing industry. This is a big posit­

The company has entered into an alliance with Sekisui Chemical Co Ltd, a leading $9 billion in revenue Japan­ ese company for supply of Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chlor­ ide (CPVC) resin that goes into manufacture of these pipes.

“We have entered into this segment and expect a turnover of about 500 crore within three years and take it up to 800 crore within ve years. The market for such pipes is poised for huge upside in the housing sector, water transport and under the Swatch cam­ paign,” he explained.

Referring to its expansion

projects taken up with a capex of 350 crore, Somany said that the company ex­ pects to commission its ex­ panded security bottle caps facility also located in Telan­ gana by September.

This project, set up with an investment of 100 crore, will take the capacity up from 230 million units to one billion units per annum.

Somany said HSIL board would meet in May to nal­ ise its plans for the future, where decision of further ex­ pansion and capex deploy­ ment is likely to be nalised.

Referring to the newly commissioned fully­auto­ mated manufacturing unit, Somany said it is the 32nd green project to be rated un­ der the IGBC code and the rst in the plastic sector to get such a rating.

India is planning to raise the issue of putting an end to the Asian Premium being charged on oil supplied to Asian countries by some OPEC members, while push­ ing major oil producing countries to come up with a “responsible pricing” policy.

“I am con dent if we can con­ vince the producer countries that expectation of consumers has to be looked into.

Trade ties During the visit both coun­ tries are expected to give a ma­ jor push to bilateral trade and economic ties.

There are strong prospects of both sides signing the long­ pending Foreign Investment Protection and Promotion Agreement (FIPPA) during the visit, which is under negoti­ ations since 2006.

In his last visit to India in November, International Trade Minister Champagne had told BusinessLine in an in­ terview that the negotiations on the FIPPA are almost com­ plete and it is ready to be

signed. In 2016, two­way mer­ chandise trade between Canada and India totalled $8 billion. Bilateral trade in ser­ vices reached $2.1 billion in the same year. Canadian invest­ ment in India has increased by over $15 billion over the past three years mainly through in­ stitutional investors, and the number of Canadian compan­ ies active in India stands at over 1000.

“Canada greatly values its strong relationship with In­ dia. This visit re ects the high level of priority that Prime Minister Trudeau places on this strategic partnership,” said Nadir Patel, High Com­ missioner for Canada to India.

Trudeau will also be visiting important landmarks during his trip such as the Taj Mahal, Sri Harmandir Sahib (also known as the Golden Temple), the Jama Masjid, and Swamin­ arayan Akshardham.

After easing the immigra­ tion rules from January 11, it is expected that the UK will see an increase in the num­ ber of Indian students heading there for higher education. Some, however, say that the country needs to tweak policy further to actually see a rise in num­ ber of students.

Given the stringent work visa regulations, the num­ ber of Indian students ap­ plying to British universit­ ies had been dropping for the last few years. The Brit­ ish Council had pegged the fall at 10 per cent. Until last year, international students had to leave the country after completing their course and then apply for a work visa.

No six-month gap “Students had to wait out six months between course completion and getting the graduate certi cates after submitting their disserta­ tion. Because of this, many students had to return home. However, with the

present change of policy, a student can work on his or her dissertation; while sim­ ultaneously taking up a job in the UK. With the change in immigration rules, the UK is now better poised to compete in the interna­ tional student market and regain its status as a fa­ voured study­abroad des­ tination,” said Vibha Kagzi, CEO and Founder ReachIvy­ .com, a career advisory rm.

The UK o ers master’s programmes for a year, un­ like other countries, where the course lasts two years.

In the UK, students get the tier 2 visa but, to get the work visa (tier 4), they need to complete a master’s de­ gree.

Work visa “The master’s programme consists of a nine­month Post­Graduate Diploma (PGD) and three months dissertation. Earlier, the stu­ dents had to complete their master’s degree before switching to a tier 4 visa but now, even after completing the PGD, they will be eli­

gible for the latter visa,” said Gurinder Bhatti, Chair­ man and MD, ESS Global, a study abroad consultant.

On the impact the policy change will have on those seeking to go to the UK for higher education, Bhatti said: “It’s not going to make any major di erence, they need to implement the same policy for under­ graduate students too.”

It is estimated that the number of inbound stu­ dents from India in the UK was 18,015 in 2017; this was around 3.6 per cent of the total inbound students.

In recent years, the UK has seen a downtrend in the number of international students from India, losing out to Canada and Aus­ tralia, which have become new favourite study destin­ ations.

‘Hike I­T exemption limit to 3 lakh’ PRESS TRUST OF INDIA New Delhi, January 22

With rise in personal dispos­ able income post 7th Pay Commission, the income tax exemption limit needs to be raised by 50,000 to 3 lakh, a SBI report said today.

The move will bene t around 75 lakh people, it said.

The SBI’s Ecowrap report further said that if the exemp­ tion limit of interest pay­ ments under housing loan is increased to 2.5 lakh for ex­ isting home loan buyers, from 2 lakh now, it will bene­ t 75 lakh home loan buyers and cost the government just about 7,500 crore.

GST will boost demand for both light and heavy commercial vehicles in the country, accord­ ing to Nitin Seth, President, LCV, Ashok Leyland.

the Rail Budget this time is slated to give top priority to safety and prevention of acci­ dents — followed by improv­ ing passenger amenities to make the journey pleasant.

Finance Minister Arun Jait­ ley would roll out the details of provision for strengthen­ ing safety mechanism in train operations in his Budget 2018­19.

Elimination of 4,943 un­ manned level­crossings, re­ placement of all old tracks and strengthening of the re­ maining tracks are among other safety­related proposals that will be highlighted in the Budget.

Besides track defects, un­ manned level­crossings are among the reasons for a max­ imum number train accidents.

It has been decided to elim­ inate all unmanned level crossings by 2020, the o cial said.

Nearly 100 gigawatts of electricity potential in India’s rivers is lying untapped be­ cause of high tari s. Hydro­ power projects, often located in remote regions, are crucial to stabilise the grid as India looks to add 175 gigawatts of renewable capacity. These plants can be swiftly turned on and o , helping the grid withstand uctuations caused by intermittent sup­ plies from solar and wind.

The cost of building roads and bridges to ferry construc­ tion equipment can be quite large, because most of the projects are located in hills, said KM Singh, who retired as the Chairman of NHPC Ltd, In­ dia’s largest hydro­power pro­ ducer.

should consider bearing these costs. Besides balancing the electricity grid, hydro­ power is also strategically im­ portant for India, as it can boost economic expansion in States that border its neigh­ bours, China and Pakistan.

The proposals also include making it mandatory for power retailers to include a share of hydro­electricity in their purchases and provid­

ing longer­term loans for such projects to even out tar­ i s over time, the people said.

The proposals have been sent to other ministries for con­ sultation. Once nalised, the Power Ministry will seek ap­ proval from the Cabinet, the people said.

State electricity retailers, under pressure to shore up their nances so that they can invest in new infrastructure

Supply cost The tari of new hydro pro­ jects will work out to about 6 a kilowatt hour or more, while most power retailers are looking at a cost of below 5 a kilowatt hour, according to Sambitosh Mohapatra, a partner at PwC India. The dis­ tribution utilities are unlikely to sign up for such high­ priced power because they have cheaper electricity avail­ able from thermal and renew­ able sources, he said.

Wind and solar power tar­ i s plunged to a record low last year, while the average spot price of electricity in In­ dia was 3.37 a kilowatt hour as of Friday noon. India has in­ stalled hydropower capacity of about 45 gigawatts, com­ pared with a potential of al­ most 149 gigawatts, according to the Central Electricity Authority.

US solar industry’s $1.5-billion plan to end trade row with China Companies want to use money collected from 2012 tariffs to broker a settlement BLOOMBERG

While US President Donald Trump prepares to announce his decision on new solar panel import tari s, the US in­ dustry is quietly trying to broker a sweeping deal to settle a di erent trade dispute with China involving an es­ timated $1.5 billion held by Washington.

Since 2012, the US has been collecting duties on panels imported from China. Amer­ ican solar companies are pushing to divide that money between manufacturers and suppliers in both the US and China as part of a deal that, they say, could e ectively re­

set solar­trade relations between the two nations.

The proposal, which trade experts describe as a long shot at best, would call for Trump to drop existing duties on solar panels —and for the President to not levy new ones. China, in turn, would abandon its own tari s on US polysilicon, a key solar­panel ingredient. There would be many hurdles to making it all happen. Chief among them, of course, is convincing Trump to take a conciliatory stance with China. Yet solar companies say the deal would t squarely into the Presid­ ent’s agenda.

“This administration has a

real opportunity to succeed where others failed as a result of your commitment to a re­ balancing of trade relations,” Craig Cornelius, Senior Vice­ President of Renewables at power generator NRG Energy Inc., said at a hearing before Trumps trade representative in December.

The White House didn’t im­ mediately respond to a re­ quest for comment. Emily Davis, a spokeswoman for the US Trade Representative, de­ clined to comment.

Trump has until January 26 to decide whether to impose tari s, making it unlikely that any deal will be brokered in time to prevent new duties.

Most US solar companies op­ pose tari s, saying they will cripple the industry and kill tens of thousands of jobs. In the short­term, many are lob­ bying to keep any duties as low as possible. Ultimately, they are pushing for a broad deal to end all solar trade bar­ riers between the US, China and other nations.

“We maintain our position that a global settlement, fol­ lowing the general construct proposed last month by NRG’s Craig Cornelius, would be a welcome outcome to these cases,” Solar Energy In­ dustries Association Presid­ ent Abigail Ross Hopper said.

BUDGET EXPECTATIONS

What’s the future of digital payments?

Fin Min may focus on GST discounts and direct benefit transfer scheme

and were valued at 7.48 lakh crore.

‘Govt should consider additional tax benefits’ ROBIN RAINA

SURABHI New Delhi, January 22

More than 15 months after the demonetisation of high­value currency in November 2016, di­ gital payments continue to be a focus area of the Narendra Modi government, with the incentiv­ ising of small businesses likely to gure in the Budget.

The Goods and Services Tax Council is also looking at a pro­ posal to encourage digital pay­ ments. Though it was on the agenda at the 25th meeting of the council that took place on January 18, it is yet to be ap­ proved.

However, expectations are that Finance Minister Arun Jait­ ley could make a reference to it in his Budget speech on Febru­ ary 1.

Concession According to the broad con­ tours of the proposal, a 2 per cent concession on the GST rate may be given on payments made by end consumers who choose to pay using credit and debit cards or e­wallets. The con­ cession would have a maximum limit of 100 per transaction.

“The consumer will get a be­ ne t of a 2 per cent discount on purchases if they use digital payment, but will have to pay the normal GST rate for cash purchases,” explained an o cial.

The 2 per cent discount would be borne equally by the Centre and State. It is expected that digital payments would also help improve compliance by businesses and help make up for revenue losses.

“More small businesses, espe­ cially payments to Mom and Pop stores, should ideally be made through digital payment methods,” explained the o ­ cial, adding that the objective is

to popularise it in smaller towns and villages.

In 2016­17, the average value of digital transactions was estim­ ated at 1,833, with nearly 16 per cent of all transactions made for purchases up to 1,000.

A majority of digital pay­

ments, pegged at 70 per cent, were for transactions valued above 2,000.

The government expects about 1,800 crore of digital transactions in 2017­18, a 67 per cent jump from the 1,076 pay­ ments made last scal.

Till October, 1,000 digital transactions are estimated to have been already taken place.

According to data from the Reserve Bank of India, the total number of retail digital transac­ tion between April and October 2017 amounted to 799 crore,

Special fund Many proposals of the expert committee on digital transac­ tions, led by Principal Advisor, NITI Aayog, and former Finance Secretary, Ratan Watal, are also still pending, the key being the setting up of a special fund called DIPAYAN toexpand di­ gital payments.

Tax experts also expect more to take place in the nancial technology space in the Budget.

“Technology has played a vital role in creating a positive frame­ work, and the disruption from the new bank regulations have paved the way for inclusive banking, but the framework needs to be strengthened to­ wards better infrastructure to deepen rural spirit and boost the new­age demand for Fintech,” said Kalpesh Mehta, Partner, Deloitte, India.

Agreed Pranay Bhatia, Partner ­ Tax & Regulatory Services, BDO, who said: “It is expected that the focus in the Budget will be on how to bring small businesses to the digital platform.”

Another key boost to the di­ gital payments platform is ex­ pected from the Jan Dhan and direct bene t transfer (DBT) scheme. With DBT now covering nearly all Central sector schemes, including payment to workers in schemes such as ASHA and mid­day meal scheme, digital payments are set to get a further boost.

The Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana has nearly 31 crore bene­ ciaries who have opened bank accounts. Of these, over 23 crore have also received Rupay debit cards.

In December last year, the government also announced that it would bear the merchant discount rate (MDR), the charges merchants pay to banks on payments of up to 2,000 made with debit cards, BHIM App or Aadhaar pay. The facility, which is available for two years, started on January 1.

India’s digital landscape has im­ proved dramatically over the past 18 months with a series of measures by the government now bearing fruit.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi now needs to do some more heavy lifting in terms of incentivising digital trans­ actions further and clamping down heavily on large­sized, illegal cash transfers. A higher foreign invest­ ment limit in the cash­guzzling insur­ ance sector will also help.

Today, the basic electronic blocks for digital transactions to take o are in place – UPI, eKYC and Aadhaar – and they are all talking to each other. The introduction of the Goods and Ser­ vices Tax will go a long way in bring­ ing the so­called ‘black economy’ into the mainstream GDP. Citizens should now realise paying lower taxes is far better than concealing ill­gotten and untaxed wealth.

The Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has an opportunity to stand at the cusp of history when he reads his an­ nual budget on February 1. From n­ ancial perspective, the Budget should focus on hand­holding Regional Rural Banks and co­operatives to adopt newer technologies and Point­of­Sale devices, besides encouraging mer­ chants to adopt them willingly. In­ centivising card payments and high­ lighting the costs incurred by banks in dealing with cash should be ad­ dressed strongly by Jaitley.

Tax benefits Post­demonetisation, the govern­ ment should o er additional tax be­ ne ts to people availing credit cards, debit cards and platforms such as UPI, among others. As long as cash transac­ tions continue to go unpunished, tax evasion will be the norm. Cash deal­ ings need to be the last resort. And this needs to be driven across strongly.

For instance, retail lending is a fast­ growing and critical component of the overall economy. However, lenders are hamstrung to grow busi­ ness exponentially because online credit histories of potential borrow­ ers are absent. Contrast this with the Chinese and other western markets

where such pro les are available at the touch of a button.

So, how do you form a credit pro le of a potential borrower, who has been dealing in cash for 90 percent of his transactions? Just look at the bank write­o s that have happened in the country. New lenders or players will enter a virgin market only when they see the credit worthiness of borrowers.

Besides lending and wealth­ser­ vices, Insurtech is also critical. This is the electronic backend of the insur­ ance sector that provides cheaper and customised policies to buyers across the spectrum.

However, the insurance sector is held back due to weak distribution networks and the 49 percent cap on foreign ownership, which prevents large­scale investments from coming in. We, therefore, need to strengthen the distribution network to support the sector as a whole and this requires money.

FDI in insurance The removal of FDI limit in insurance will encourage more deep­pocketed players to enter this huge market with better technology, thereby increasing insurance penetration in India.

In practice today, insurance players cater only to the top slice of the nan­ cial audience, o ering limited ser­ vices. But, if the industry has to grow, then companies need to evolve an eco­ system of multiple services o er a wide variety of products to the masses across the country, own the entire electronic chain from the backend to the service delivery, thereby bringing in operational e ciencies to the end consumer. This will ultimately ensure the customer sticks to the provider.

Lastly, I believe that India is today ready for a Central Financial Ex­ change, which can take care of all pay­ ments across sectors such as remit­ tances, investments, bill payments and lending, besides e­learning, travel and e­commerce transactions. This will facilitate the next level of push to rope in millions that have still stayed away from the bene ts of digitisation.

The venture will invest in opportunities in the ports sec­ tor as well as river ports and transportation, freight cor­ ridors, port­led special eco­ nomic zones, inland con­ tainer terminals and logistics infrastructure, including cold storages.

“Following its First Close in October 2017 on the fund­rais­ ing side, and now with its rst investment, NIIF is making visible progress,” said Eco­ nomic A airs Secretary, Subhash Chandra Garg.

Green Growth Equity Fund is also being set­up under the fund of funds vertical of NIIF, and shall have anchor com­ mitments of £120 million each from the Government of India (through NIIF) and Gov­ ernment of UK. NIIF was originally con­ ceived as India’s own sover­ eign wealth fund on the lines of Singapore’s investment vehicle Temasek. The pro­ posed corpus of NIIF is 40,000 crore. It is being op­

The Centre’s contribution to the AIFs under the NIIF scheme is pegged at 49 per cent. The fund, which is pro­ fessionally managed, has the mandate to solicit equity par­ ticipation from strategic an­ chor partners such as over­ seas sovereign/quasi­sovereign/ multilateral/bilateral investors.

Aston Martin has become the latest carmaker to be caught up in a major recall of faulty Daimler steering­column components that can cause unintended airbag deployments.

The British sports car maker is recalling all 3,873 DB11 coupes built since late 2015, when production of the agship model began.

Aston Martin spokesman Kevin Watters con rmed the recall when contacted by Re­ uters and said repairs would be carried out to “address an issue with the DB11 steering column upper”.

Daimler last year recalled more than 1 million Mer­ cedes­Benz cars tted with steering­column parts, also supplied to Aston and Nis­ san.

A tame Pongal for home-appliance makers Sales of televisions, air conditioners and refrigerators fall compared to last year due to GST, rise in cost of raw materials PURVITA CHATTERJEE Mumbai, January 22

Anticipation of lower GST rates and higher prices deterred con­ sumers from purchasing household appliances during Pongal this year. States such as Tamil Nadu and Kerala, which usually record high sales in January when the festival is cel­ ebrated, witnessed lackluster sales across categories such as televisions, air conditioners and refrigerators compared to last year.

For instance, LG India wit­ nessed the lowest growth for its single­door refrigerators during the harvest season this year.

“Our biggest category of single­door refrigerators de­ grew by 10 per cent, both in volume and value, during Pongal. Volumes were also at CM YK

for washing machines, while sales of air conditioners also faced de­growth between 3­4 per cent, as the trade was con­ fused about energy ratings.

New consumers were also de­ terred by the high prices, which led to de­growth during Pongal over last season,” said P Sudheer, Senior Regional Busi­ ness Head, South, LG India.

Sales fall again In fact, last Pongal, LG had re­ gistered a 40 per cent growth after demonetisation, and sales were rebounding after the cyc­ lone and demise of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa.

“Sales had improved in Janu­ ary last year after the loss wit­ nessed last December due to the cyclone and death of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister. But this January it has dropped by 18 to

Customers were hoping the GST rate would fall to 18 per cent, but prices have been going up steadily in the home-appliance segment

20 per cent compared to last year during Pongal,” added Sudheer.

Godrej Appliances also wit­ nessed a similar trend. “There was low consumer demand as sales did not pick up during Pongal this year. Consumers were postponing their pur­ chases hoping GST rates would drop from 28 per cent to 18 per cent as prices have been going up steadily in the home­appli­ ance categories,” said Kamal Nandi, Business Head, Godrej Appliances.

Morover, changes in energy labelling norms for categories

such as air conditioners (for which the season is just start­ ing) has also taken a toll in terms of increased prices.

Godrej Appliances witnessed almost 6­10 per cent drop in sales in categories such as air conditioners during Pongal over last year, while refriger­ ator sales were down by 3­4 per cent. “During Januaryour sales have been at certain categor­ ies. The slide in sales has been happening since demonetisa­ tion as energy labelling in cat­ egories such as air conditioners has shifted, making its more ex­ pensive,” added Nandi.

Fitch Ratings says current low tariffs are ‘unsustainable’, expects them to rise in 2018 PRESS TRUST OF INDIA New Delhi, January 22

India’s largest telecom operator Bharti Airtel’s weak earnings may have marked a low point for Indian telcos, but some of its pressure could lift this year as Re­ liance Jio­triggered market com­ petition starts to ease, according to Fitch Ratings.

The statement comes after Air­ tel last week posted over 39 per cent fall in consolidated net pro t to about 306 crore for the third quarter ended December 31, 2017.

Fitch termed the current low industry tari s as “unsustain­ able”, and expects them to rise in 2018, as Jio switches gear from gaining customers to making reasonable returns on its invest­ ments in the sector.

“Bharti Airtel’s rating head­ room will narrow due to lower cash generation and high capex requirements in the nancial year ending March 2018 (FY18),”

Fitch Ratings said in a statement.

That said, Fitch pointed out that pressure on Airtel and other incumbent Indian telcos “should begin to fade this year” as the competition triggered by Jio’s 2016 market entry begins to ease.

It noted that Airtel is commit­ ted to maintaining an invest­ ment­grade rating and intends to sell a larger stake in its tower arm, Bharti Infratel, in FY19. In the past one year, it has sold 18.5 per cent in Infratel for about $1.9 billion.

“We forecast annual negative free cash ow of $600­800 mil­ lion during FY18­19, as Bharti’s cash ow from operations will be insu cient to fund large capex requirements,” Fitch said.

Stating that the company has raised its capex guidance to bol­ ster its 4G network, Fitch said the proposal to allow telcos more time to pay for the spectrum they bought in auctions would

How a digital wave is sweeping Wipro Wipro COO says digital adoption by customers has reached a tipping point VENKATESH GANESH Bengaluru, January 22

For Wipro, India’s third-largest software exporter, the quarterended December was a mixed bag. While it posted a decline in net profits, it believes that the efforts it has put in for the past few years, is starting to look good, notably in digital. Bhanumurthy BM, President and Chief Operating Officer, Wipro, spoke to BusinessLine on the approach the firm is taking to reorient its 1.6 lakh workforce, how digital is trickling across its old and new clients, and on the organisational changes within the company. Excerpts:

We have to be nimble and agile. Firstly, we eliminated many procedures and pro­ cesses, and looked at everything from a clients’ lens. For example, the method in which digital projects are executed are di erent from the ones in the past. Then, we asked ourselves: ‘How do we transform these people in terms of skills?’; 90,000 people have been skilled in di­ gital areas. Even managers have been aligned to new ways of working. We have touched the organisation in terms of project manage­ ment, skills management, governing these pro­ grammes, across all these levels.

So, will a project manager’s role die in the near future?

If you look at the manager role, it will not go away. There are di erent techniques and methods to manage those projects that will be relevant in the future. You need to be a

Are companies getting comfortable with digital deals?

Does digital business trickle down to traditional business or, is it independent as of now?

Customers have seen success by being early adopters. They have understood the capabil­ ities of Wipro, and of our ser­ vice design through acquisi­ tions and investments .

Consequently, the con dence has increased.

It does trickle. Think of design and think of digital ways of working. Design is a niche and strong capability area with our acquisitions of Designit, Cooper. But the manner in which digital is ex­ ecuted, has to be aligned with design. That is the reason we are transforming the entire organisation into digital. The next piece is that in the run part of services, even that has become digital, with clients wanting it to be delivered that way. Consequently, the run teams have to be prepared for this. Today, it is very hard to be able to have a proposition for either run or change which does not have a digital component.

How margin accretive are digital deals?

It will be hard to quantify at this moment. Digital adop­ tion in clients is reaching a tipping point in terms of size.

As adoption increases, the size of the deal increases. It is varies with customers, geo­ graphy, etc. What is happen­ ing is that no conversation is a non­digital conversation.

‘Shoplifting’ from Amazon’s store of the future E-tailer opens first cashier-less shop to public NEW YORK TIMES Seattle, January 22

The rst clue that there’s something unusual about Amazon’s store of the future hits you right at the front door. It feels as if you are enter­ ing a subway station. A row of gates guard the entrance to the store, known as Amazon Go, allowing in only people with the store’s smartphone app.

Inside is an 1,800­square foot mini­market packed with shelves of food that you can nd in a lot of other conveni­ ence stores — soda, potato chips, ketchup. It also has some food usually found at Whole Foods, the supermar­ ket chain that Amazon owns.

But the technology that is also inside, mostly tucked away out of sight, enables a shopping experience like no other. There are no cashiers or registers anywhere. Shoppers leave the store through those same gates, without pausing to pull out a credit card. Their Amazon account automatic­ ally gets charged for what they take out the door.

On Monday, the store will open to the public for the rst time. Gianna Puerini, the ex­ ecutive in charge of Amazon Go, recently gave tours of the store, in downtown Seattle.

Virtual baskets There are no shopping carts

CM YK

or baskets inside Amazon Go. Since the checkout process is automated, what would be the point of them anyway? In­ stead, customers put items directly into the shopping bag they’ll walk out with.

Every time customers grab an item o a shelf, Amazon says the product is automatic­ ally put into the shopping cart of their online account. If customers put the item back on the shelf, Amazon removes it from their virtual basket.

The only sign of the techno­ logy that makes this possible oats above the store shelves — arrays of small cameras, hundreds of them through­ out the store. Amazon won’t say much about how the sys­ tem works, other than to say it involves sophisticated com­ puter vision and machine­ learning software. Transla­ tion: Amazon’s technology can see and identify every item in the store, without at­ taching a special chip to every can of soup and bag of trail mix.

There were a little more than 3.5 million cashiers in

the US in 2016 — and some of their jobs may be in jeopardy if the technology behind Amazon Go eventually spreads. For now, Amazon says its technology simply changes the role of employ­ ees — the same way it de­ scribes the impact of automa­ tion on its warehouse workers.

“We’ve just put associates on di erent kinds of tasks where we think it adds to the customer experience,” Puer­ ini said.

Those tasks include re­ stocking shelves and helping customers troubleshoot any technical problems. Store em­ ployees mill about ready to help customers nd items, and there is a kitchen next door with chefs preparing meals for sale in the store. Be­ cause there are no cashiers, an employee sits in the wine and beer section of the store, checking IDs before custom­ ers can take alcohol o the shelves.

Most people who spend any time in a supermarket un­ derstand how vexing the

Gates guard the entrance to the Amazon Go store in Seattle NYT

checkout process can be, with clogged lines for cashiers and customers who fumble with self­checkout kiosks.

‘Shoplifting’ At Amazon Go, checking out feels like — there’s no other way to put it — shoplifting. It is only a few minutes after walk­ ing out of the store, when Amazon sends an electronic receipt for purchases, that the feeling goes away.

Actual shoplifting is not easy at Amazon Go. With per­ mission from Amazon, I tried to trick the store’s camera sys­ tem by wrapping a shopping bag around a $4.35 four­pack of vanilla soda while it was still on a shelf, tucking it un­ der my arm and walking out of the store. Amazon charged me for it.

A big unanswered question is where Amazon plans to take the technology. It won’t say whether it plans to open more Amazon Go stores, or leave this as a one­of­a­kind novelty. A more intriguing possibility is that it could use the technology inside Whole Foods stores, though Puerini said Amazon has “no plans” to do so.

There’s even speculation that Amazon could sell the system to other retailers, much as it sells its cloud com­ puting services to other com­ panies. For now, visitors to Amazon Go may want to watch their purchases: Without a register staring them in the face at checkout, it’s easy to overspend.

The acquisitions that Wipro has made involves different cultures, mindsets...

Instead of looking at the dif­ ferences, we look at the com­ monalities. One of the checks we do is whether there is a value match from both the en­ tities. We have a style of work­ ing and the companies we have acquired or invested in have theirs. The rest of the or­ ganisation has to understand the workings from our part­ ners. On the other hand, they (the acquired rms)can learn from Wipro on the ability to scale, capability of getting scale and managing it. We are well versed with that. There are learnings from both the sides.

Start-ups will flourish if regulations are eased: Former Infosys CFO

Chennai, January 22

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

Paper ite, a Software­as­a­Ser­ vice start­up, has secured a seed funding of 2.5 crore ($400,000). The funding round was led by The Chennai Angels.

Vinoth Kumar, co­founder, told BusinessLine that the company will use the funding to strengthen its presence in the US and European markets and expand to emerging mar­ kets such as Latin America, Singapore, Malaysia, the Phil­ ippines and India.

He said: “Currently we have clients in the US and European regions. Now, we will establish local o ces to deepen our market there.”

Paper ite enables small­ to medium­size companies to improve their sales through content­sharing tools. The tools help enterprises deliver right sales and marketing pitch to potential buyers.

“We are in the B2B space and cater to sectors such as nan­ cial services and technology.

“Now the focus is on a spe­ ci c industry: we are expand­ ing to healthcare segment that includes life sciences, hospitals and medical devices, pharmaceuticals and auto­ motive,” Kumar said.

Hyderabad, January 22

India’s start­ups will ourish if the regulatory environment becomes more friendly, as all other necessary conditions — funding, talent and ability to connect to the global market — are in place, says a senior IT in­ dustry gure.

V Balakrishnan, former Chief Financial O cer of Infosys, told PTI that investors are now fo­ cussing on B2B start­ups than B2C. According to him, after two years of churning, there is sta­ bility in the start­up eld now, and funding has become much more focussed, with not all companies attracting money.

B2C start­ups’ funding chal­ lenges have reduced of late with large players among them having raised money.

“But the B2B market is the fo­ cus now; most of the funds are focussing on B2B because cap­ ital requirement is low and I think exit is also happening in B2B. I think a lot more focus in the VC circles is on B2B compan­ ies now than B2C,” he said.

The biggest problem faced by start­ups is on the regulatory and compliance front, Bal­ akrishnan said, citing the In­ come Tax Department’s notices

V Balakrishnan, former Infosys Chief Financial Officer

to start­ups vis­a­vis the Angel Tax. “I think some of the regulat­ ory changes have to be much more friendly for start­up com­ panies, and compliance regula­ tion should ease because you can’t expect a start­up started by an entrepreneur who is 25­ 30 years (old,) to comply with 30­40 laws.

“The recent notice issued by Income Tax Department to all start­up companies on funding is not helping because you can’t expect a start­up company which raised money, to pay tax on the capital.”

“Start­ups should have a dif­ ferent environment for regulat­ ory compliance; you can’t ex­ pect a start­up company to adhere to all matured company regulations,” Balakrishnan said.

Wynk Music crosses 75 m app installs OUR BUREAU Mumbai, January 22

Riding on a strong demand for local content, Bharti Air­ tel’s music­streaming service Wynk Music has crossed 75 million app downloads, since its launch nearly four years ago. While Bollywood music continued to rule, Indian re­ gional music streams on Wynk grew more than 100 per cent.

Music in Tamil, Telugu, Pun­ jabi and Kannada accounted for the bulk of the growth in regional content. About 13 per cent of its active users came in from rural India, contribut­ ing nearly 10 per cent to the overall daily streams, the company said in a statement.

“A ordable smartphones and increasing penetration of high­speed data services will continue to add to the uptake of music and other content on smartphones,” said Wynk CEO Sameer Batra.

Wynk has a collection of over 3 million songs, includ­ ing popular music in 12 In­ dian regional languages.

The remixed versions of Bollywood classics to the latest hits continue to grow in popularity and made up for 13 of last year’s top 50 tracks on Wynk. This contributed more than 3 per cent to the overall streams in the year, the com­ pany added.

In a new trend, songs fea­ tured in popular ad cam­ paigns — such as Levi’s Let’s Live How We Dance and iPhone X campaign for Best Friend — went viral on the app.

Ready, steady, grow: that’s the trick Here’s a case for India staying the course on a medium-speed growth trajectory. High growth’s not always healthy AMARJIT SINGH

A political witch-hunt would not have harmed the Aam Aadmi Party as much if it had managed to live up to its own lofty ideals

B

y the very virtue that distinguished it from every other political force in India, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) stands isol­ ated as 20 of its MLAs have been summar­ ily disquali ed for holding an “o ce of pro t” and a similar number faces miscellaneous crim­ inal charges. When he drove his common man’s car and refused the palatial government bunga­ low allotted to the Delhi chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal held a mirror that re ected all others as unduly entitled and retrograde in the way they aunted their privileges and perks. Here, nally, was a politician who had internalised the notion of the nation­state as the harbinger of modernity in terms of absolute equality of social relations. By the very act of refusing privileges considered in­ tegral to those in the legislature, Kejriwal and AAP elevated and empowered the citizen. But when you inhabit that haloed ground, the architecture for future edi ces has to be equally impeccable.

While the present dispensation has shown an alarming propensity to target political rivals, it is equally disquieting that an idealistic newcomer such as Kejriwal too has failed to live up to the lofty standards he set.

The constitutional principle behind o ce­of­ pro t being a fundamental criterion inviting dis­ quali cation is the separation of powers between the legislature and the executive. The objective be­ hind the provision is to ensure absolute inde­ pendence of the legislators by laying down that they cannot receive favours or bene ts from the executive and thus becomes amenable to their in­ uence. The o ce­of­pro t principle does not ne­ cessarily mean nancial bene ts. Even an admin­ istrative position without nancial entitlements is against the law. All the other political parties routinely out this principle. By using numbers, parties keep amending the list of o ces to be ex­ empted from what can constitute the o ce of pro t. The o ce of parliamentary secretary is a device used by political parties to circumvent the constitutional ceiling on the number of ministers as a percentage of total strength of the Assembly.

The ruling BJP in Rajasthan as well as the Congress in Karnataka have both used this route. Kejriwal acted no di erent and circumvented the constitu­ tional principle by enacting an amendment to the Delhi Members of Legislative Assembly (Removal of Disquali cation) Act 1997 to exempt the ap­ pointments he had made. The di erence was that while other States managed to pass similar Acts, AAP’s Bill did not receive presidential assent and the MLAs have subsequently been disquali ed.

AAP now faces by­elections in 20 constituencies where both the BJP and the Congress will stretch themselves that extra mile to ensure his party’s defeat. But without the moral armour of a party which professed to be di erent from the rest, for both Kejriwal and his party these elections pose a tough political challenge. It would be di cult for Kejriwal to now argue that behind the high notes there was no banal ambition that he chided all others for.

OTHER VOICES

There are no militantswho ought to have a future in the region. It is absurd for Pakistan to allegedly seek an outcome in Afghanistan that causes swathes of the Afghan population to recoil in horror.

A fading US empire shuts down again A government shutdown should be regarded as a shameful failure of executive and parliamentary leadership. Yet in the US it has become a tactic.

ust about everyone wants to see India grow rapidly, most of all Indians themselves. The west­ erners want it because they feel they’ll have a better chance to sell their goods to a booming India, not really caring for India’s economic health.

But, high growth is not always the healthy way to go. Imagine an individual on steroids, and we can understand that the long­term ef­ fects of high growth are economic woes. Just see what’s happening to China presently after its rapid growth of three decades: massive debt, banks performing worse than India, uninhabited cities, and a greater divide between the rich, city class and the poor, rural class, such that political factionalism has quietly taken deep root in the hid­ den background, threatening to balkanise China into seven coun­ tries as major politicians struggle for power and in uence.

We don’t want that in India.

Too much, too soon Sustained rapid growth of above 7 per cent heats up the economy by in­ jecting stimulus, causes in ation and ensuing consumer discontent, resulting in a faster grab for money by individuals and corporations, caus­ ing the mind to spin out of control and crash in some litiga­ tion suit or risky venture. Ever seen what happens to drivers when they increase vehicle speed? Yes, they are not always able to keep control, and in their recklessness, crash some­ where.

Even though more schools and government hospitals and roads

and power plants can be construc­ ted, and government jobs in­ creased, the in ation dragon eats away at savings, creates madness in the escalating prices of property, and then pits family members against each other for inheritance of high value products. India is already seeing so much of the latter that family moral values have be­ come an absurdity and a rarity. As the philosophers have advised over the ages, the destruction of moral values in individuals precipitates the downfall of national values. Re­ call the Roman empire in its dying days.

Too slow, too little Too slow a growth, say between 1 and 3 per cent, is naturally unpro­ ductive, because business freezes up, investments in business and sci­ ence and technology take a dip, while competitors stride ahead. Un­ employment picks up, leading to social upheaval and family strains and disturbances of its own kind.

The type of situation that led to the Arab Spring rears its head where unemployment had risen to 20 per cent and 40 per cent. In a large, varied country like India, the opportunity for strikes, violent demonstrations, and pent­up anger un­ leashing itself arises all too easily. It’s quite obvi­ ous that no one is think­ ing of this scenario, but there is reason to expound on the bene ts of very slow growth.

For one, tra c stops expanding at its maddening rate, resulting in relatively fewer accidents and ar­ resting runaway air pollution, as car sales spiral downward. Water demand by industries falls, which eases the burden on our strained

water resources. In all respects, eco­ nomic depression is good for the environment as less trees get cut for development and mining. Less garbage and solid wastes are pro­ duced as consumers and industries simply consume less, thus easing the adversities on our over lled land lls.

Because industrial output falls, river pollution abates and sh be­ gin to repopulate, improving food security. At the extreme boundary, we all know what happens to the environment if industrial output comes to a halt: the environment smiles and thrives. It is a breath of fresh air for all non­human species and Mother Earth.

Who’s listening?

But no one is talking of halting any­ thing. The realistic battle is only between medium growth of 4 to 6 per cent and rapid growth of 7 to 12 per cent, while 6­7 per cent is a

somewhat grey area that can cut both ways.

I have demonstrated how rapid growth leads to uncontrollable growth, generating chaos, requir­ ing that interest rates be reined in, which businesses don’t like to really see. In addition, the economy moves faster with high growth than the ability of humans to manage it successfully: priorities for land­use planning, water consumption, en­ ergy generation, and farming go out of balance, resulting in more havoc than ever before. And the only one to prosper in this scenario is the in ation dragon, which con­ sumes all.

I have also demonstrated how very slow growth can harm the hu­ man and national cause, our de­ fence preparedness, research and development, and survival as a competitive nation. Hence, it is a simple conclusion that one must really grow at a steady pace, under

controlled conditions — to keep our businesses, institutions, and soci­ ety cohesively connected. It is much better to be content with security than risk insecurity; much better to know we will have a safe tomorrow than have the anxiety of an uncer­ tain future.

The pressures to grow at 7­12 per cent are misplaced; they stem from an egoistic nationalism only, without consideration of time­ tested economic consequences.

Hence, the present speed of 5 to 6 per cent or 6.5 per cent is just ne for India, and India should with­ stand criticism from every quarter to stay its course. This is the speed to grow at. Just remember: some­ what medium speed — not very slow — but steady, wins the race.

The protests in Iran, which broke out on December 28 with anti­es­ tablishment rallies being taken out by teachers, workers, farm labour­ ers and unemployed and disen­ chanted youth, were at rst puzz­ ling to West Asia watchers who couldn’t see any particular group of reformists or leaders mobilising the protesters. Beginning with the

north­eastern city of Mashhad, the protests quickly spread to some 75 other places., This time the protests were not led by Tehran. They came from the smaller cities against the government’s failure to deliver bet­ ter economic outcomes — such as lower in ation and the creation of more jobs, as was promised by Pres­ ident Hassan Rouhani after the nuc­ lear sanctions were relaxed in 2015 following the nuclear deal with the US. Of course the relatively moderate Rouhani government was quick to blame the protests on “foreign powers”, mainly Saudi Arabia and the US, accusing the former of dir­ ect involvement and condemning President Donald Trump’s tweets welcoming the protests. It respon­ ded by its own counter­rallies and used force against the protestors, mostly young unemployed, and in the initial round, 25 persons lost their lives.

While economic sluggishness and una ordable food prices might have triggered the protests, the political dimension was soon evid­ ent. There were calls for Iran’s spir­ itual leader Ali Khamenei to step down. He has an uneasy relation­ ship with the Rouhani, who swept the last election. Some protestors chanted slogans asking the govern­ ment to worry less about Palestine

Bus services in Tamil Nadu are among the best in the country.

Therefore, the recent price hike is long overdue and deserves to be implemented. What could have been tweaked are the odd fares, such as 6, 19, 23, 24, 27 and so on because they create small change problems. Fares of 5, 10, 15, basic­ ally multiples of 5, are easier to handle. The novel method of in­ dexing is welcome one as this would ensure that there is no irra­ tional revision and no skip in revi­ sion when warranted.

The plight of conductors de­ serves attention. In the north, they don’t go up and down in the bus is­ suing tickets as the responsibility of holding a valid ticket rests squarely with the commuter. But in the south, the onus lies with the conductor to issue tickets and they are often pulled up for passengers not holding tickets. This is why they have keep going up and down

Risky business

This refers to your editorial, ‘No place to hide’ (January 22). There is no dearth of nancial instruments in the market for retail investors to participate in the market and earn better returns than conventional debt instruments. Having said that it is criminal to make a whole­ sale switch from xed deposits to equity funds. Financial planners advise a mixed portfolio of debt and equity because of the risks in­ volved. Since most retail investors do not take the help of profes­ sional nancial planners they end up taking more risk than they should. That’s why the Govern­ ment should come out with more tax­free bond options.

and Syria and turn its gaze inward and at the su ering of the Iranian people. Many messages posted on the social media had traces of nos­ talgia for the monarchy and the late Shah of Iran.

Dumping the hijab After the Islamic revolution of 1979, Iranian women have had a troubled relationship with the hijab, with crazy penalties and even imprison­ ment for not covering their hair completely. So an important part of the ongoing protests is demanding freedom for women opposed to the hijab to discard it.

So what lies ahead for Iran and its people?

The regime may frown on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netan­ yahu praising the “brave people of Iran” for ghting for their rights, but you cannot keep down for too long a suppressed people, particu­ larly in a country like Iran where vi­ olence has often erupted. The last major one was in 2009, when Pres­ ident Mahmud Ahmadinejad was re­elected in an election perceived to be massively rigged. The protests, in favour of the Opposi­ tion candidates Mir­Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, were crushed mercilessly. But Ahmadine­ jad was a dictator; ironically the re­ formists who were expected to get some traction in the Rouhani gov­ ernment, have been sidelined, and they themselves have been most surprised at this uprising which seems to be headless and risen from the ranks in smaller cities.

Hopefully, that is why it may suc­ ceed, forcing the government to do something about the economy and warning hardliners to back o from forcing women to wear the veil. As Masih Alinejad says, it’s all about choice; veil for her mom and un­ covered hair, uttering in the breeze if she wants, for herself.

Price of freedom But on Sunday she posted a heart­ breaking message on Twitter. Post­ ing a picture of a beautiful young woman with her hair behind a veil, she tweeted: “Her name is Maryam Jafarpour. She was an engineer. She took part in #IranProtests. After be­ ing arrested, her parents received a call from the regime forces telling them to come and pick up their daughter’s dead body. She is one of the many brave Iranians that this

gave the call to women opposed to the hijab to remove it, enjoy their unveiled hair and post pictures of themselves doing so on her Face­ book page, My Stealthy Freedom.

The page has already got over 1.08 million ‘likes’ apart from pictures of Iranian women, some with their hair blowing in the wind! Freedom comes in many shapes, and to feel the breeze in your hair, on your face, is certainly one of its most enjoy­ able forms!

Masih said this in an interview: “My mother wants to wear a scarf. I don’t want to wear a scarf. Iran should be for both of us.” She re­ calls how as a child, she was forced to wear the scarf: “As a kid, my brother was a symbol of freedom that I didn’t have. He was free to run in a green lovely farm” —something that was denied to her.

Being risk­averse, Indian savers traditionally invest in bank depos­ its and various post o ce savings schemes. After demonetisation, gold and real estate have also lost their charm as investment op­ tions. Even a rise in bond yields has not lead to a rise in bank and postal interest rates; rather they are declining.

The coming budget should do away with tax on interest of bank deposits over 10,000 per annum.

Due to the stock market boom, only mutual funds o er better re­ turns when compared to tradi­ tional investment products.

Already banks are feeling the heat due to rising NPAs and mark to market losses. So banks may not revise their interest rates upwards in tune with rising interest rates.

Unless the Government takes steps to introduce retail products for small investors like tax­free bonds with attractive in ation ad­ justed returns, investors may

gradually move to mutual funds which may severely erode the de­ posit base of banks and post of­ ces.

Srinivasan Velamur Chennai

India’s economic push of the past two decades is largely due to our savings rate that is higher than that of several countries with AAA rating. A renewed push for savings is overdue.

With our household savings at sub­20 per cent and gross do­ mestic savings below 30 per cent , it compels investment to go to stock markets that invariably hurt the small investor. Not that gov­ ernment bonds are far better. They are ckle and too uid as they lack the loyalty of holding as in small savings. Further they can come only in small tranches. Accrual through small savings is steady. .

Non-bankable funding

While corporates have been ex­ ploring non­banking avenues to raise capital, the trend may not continue for long. The lender­ friendly IBC norms can be expec­ ted to compel borrowers to bank more upon fund in ows via equit­ ies and MFs/ETFs; however the cap­ ital market sentiment may not ne­ cessarily support the strategy.

Amidst sky­high equity valu­ ations and uncertain shareholder returns promised within the IRP, investors would be reluctant to park their funds in a rm’s securit­ ies. That too when the general elec­ tions are due next year and the geo­political environment needs stability. Moreover, norms encour­ aging portfolio concentration and the proposal to limit the retail par­ ticipation in derivative markets would only aggravate the market risk for potential investors.

India must go bullish on Asean

Streamline taxation of capital gains

Despite a looming Chinese presence, the ten-country bloc can offer lucrative business and strategic opportunities

BUDGET WISHLIST

RAHUL MAZUMDAR BAHROZE KAMDIN / ALIFYA HAKIM LOVINA MATHIAS

T

here is a case for stream­ lining taxation of capital gains arising to corpor­ ate India in more than one areas, and we hope Budget 2018 will address the issue. Take double taxation of notional gains under sections 50C/50CA, as also the notional income under sec­ tion 56(2)(x), on sale of immov­ able property or unquoted shares.

The Finance Act 2017 introduced an anti­abuse measure by insert­ ing section 50CA of the Act to treat the Fair Market Value (FMV) to be full value of consideration in case of unquoted shares of a company.

This amendment takes e ect from April 1, 2018 and will, accordingly, apply in relation to the assess­ ment year 2018­19 and subsequent assessment years.

Such measure was adopted to ensure that the full value of con­ sideration is not understated. Sim­ ilar provisions existed for deeming of full value of consideration in cer­ tain cases such as deem­ ing of stamp duty value as full value of consider­ ation, for transfer of im­ movable property in cer­ tain cases.

The Finance Act 2017 also widened the anti­abuse measure by widening the scope of ‘Income from other sources’, section 56(2) (x), to deem the receipt of cash or immovable property or moveable property by any person without consideration or for inadequate consideration in excess of 50,000, as chargeable to tax in the hands of the recipients. Move­ able property includes shares and securities. These amendments took e ect from April 1, 2017 and the said receipt of sum of money or property on or after April 1, 2017 shall be chargeable to tax.

Thus in case of a person (trans­ feror) who transfers unquoted shares or immoveable property at a price less than the FMV, notional

capital gain is to be computed considering the FMV as the sale consideration as per section 50CA and section 50C of the Act. At the same time, the transferee (recipient) is also subject to tax on the notional income being the dif­ ference between the FMV and the consideration received for trans­ fer of the immoveable property and unquoted shares as income under the head “Income from other Sources”.

This can lead to double taxation of the same income in the hands of the seller [section 50C and sec­ tion 50CA] and the buyer [section 56(2)(x)] of such immovable prop­ erty or unquoted shares of the company. However, section 56 was amended by the Finance (No. 2) Act 2004 to tax gift received in the hands of the recipient from unre­ lated persons with the abolition of gift tax. The objective of taxing gifts under section 56 of the Act is evident from the speech of the Fin­ ance Minister while presenting the Finance (No. 2) Bill, 2004: “... I abolished gift­tax in 1997. That decision re­ mains, but the loop­ hole requires to be plugged to prevent money laundering. Ac­ cordingly, purported gifts from unrelated persons, above the threshold limit of 25,000, will now be taxed.”

In view of the intent of sections of the Act, the transfer that is chargeable to capital gains and taxed as per section 50C or section 50CA of the Act, should not be con­ sidered for the purpose of section 56 of the Act. However, a clari ca­ tion is needed on the same by way of an amendment to section 56(2) (x) of the Act to exclude receipt of immovable and moveable prop­ erty for inadequate consideration.

his Republic Day, heads of the all the ten Asean economies — Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Brunei — will meet in Delhi. And the world will possibly sit up to take note of this gathering for reasons more than one.

Asean is touted to become the fourth largest economic bloc in the world by 2030. As the region increasingly witnesses Chinese adventures in and around the In­ dian Ocean, it has become ìm­ portant for India to strengthen its relationship with other Asian economies.

Not rhetoric, but commerce The 3Cs, namely commerce, con­ nectivity and culture, should ideally become the pivot of co­ operation between Asean and In­ dia. This idea was ttingly placed

by External A airs Minister Sushma Swaraj at an Asean event last year.

It is true that India’s mythology and culture nd great resonance across the entire Asean region.

However, repeated mention of the historical linkages appear rhetor­ ical, and unable to add any real value as these economies anticip­ ate a proactive and constructive commercial engagement with In­ dia.

Asean today is one of the most thriving business and commerce centres globally. The region con­ stitutes around 8 per cent of the global exports, and receives 15 per cent of world investments, while having almost 26 per cent in out­ ward investments. It is also home to economies such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam, which are often touted as the last frontier economies in the world having exhibited more than 7 per cent growth consistently over the past few years.

That said, India’s commitment to trade and investment in Asean

remains far from impressive.

While around 10 per cent of In­ dia’s exports goes to Asean, we contribute only 2 per cent to Asean’s total import from across the globe. In fact, the balance of trade has always been in favour of Asean.

Asean’s strength today lies in plantations, electronics and heavy machinery, while for India it is largely in computer services, light engineering and pharma­ ceuticals. Both sides needs to cre­ ate appropriate frameworks to re­ duce both tari and non­tari barriers to widen the scope of trade, while looking at participa­ tion in the value chain.

Chinese shadow looms There exists the continuous dom­ inance and interference by China in some of the economies in the region as it gets desperate to win control in and around the subcon­ tinent. The entire Asean region is ooded with Chinese products.

For example, in Cambodia, many government vehicles sport the tag, “Gifted by friends from China”. Coincidentally, India was instrumental in Cambodia secur­ ing freedom, but today nds it dif­ cult to have a signi cant com­ mercial presence in that country.

Meanwhile, China has gained signi cant prowess and is able to exploit di erences within Asean.

Investments, soft loans, grants and assistance have been o ered to most of the new frontier eco­ nomies, making it di cult for countries such as India to do genuine business there.

Recently, for instance, the Phil­ ippines expressed its allegiance to China over its age­old partner the US, which could have far­reaching strategic and defence spillovers.

Amidst all this lies the Malacca Strait, which carries about 40 per cent of world trade and has been of Chinese interest for long; India and the Asean economies have ex­ pressed concerns over this and have agreed to manoeuvre the maritime borders.

Looking pretty Vietnam, a booming economy, is one of the Asean members

India in 2015 announced a 500­crore Project Development Fund, which was meant to encour­ age Indian businesses to set up ventures in CLMV countries (Cam­ bodia, Laos Myanmar and Viet­ nam). The region o ers a lot of op­ portunities for Indian entities in project exports, supply contracts, and creating utility infrastruc­ ture, apart from having manufac­ turing set­ups. It is important for India that such initiatives are real­ ised soon, especially when it faces competition from an aggressive Chinese.

Many free­trade zones have already come up in the frontier economies. For example, Japan is helping build one in Sihanouk­ ville in Cambodia and another at Thilawa in Myanmar, while Taiwan is aiding one at Vientiane Industrial Trade Park in Laos. Viet­ nam already has a free­trade zone ourishing with Singapore’s sup­ port.

India must strive to penetrate in select Asean economies where China is well entrenched, while increasing its in uence in others where China is gaining a foothold.

India must shrug o its tradi­ tional inertia and replicate the Chinese approach of o ering the entire bouquet of its services to

engage with the Asean econom­ ies. This would essentially mean avoiding procrastination and in­ ordinate delay.

Good economics Indian businesses could bene t by setting up production units in Asean, which could then act as a platform for them to enter China with whom Asean has an FTA. In­ dia could also bene t from Asean’s trade agreements with other economies in the region.

Further, the ambition to have an Asean Economic Community would catapult the ten economies of $2.6 trillion into a single mar­ ket and production base, provid­ ing Indian business unparalleled access to over 622 million people, almost double the populaton of the US. However, India needs to be cau­ tious while negotiating the Re­ gional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) with China be­ ing the big elephant in the room.

Trade facilitation is another key area. It is important for Indian banks to set up operations in the region which would help Indian businesses.

Aspects such as Mutual Recog­ nition Agreement in the context of services should be rati ed at

the earliest keeping aside any ap­ prehension on the impact that this could have on Asean’s ser­ vices sectors which are largely con ned to Singapore. India may also explore opportunity to be a part of the Asia­Paci c Economic Cooperation or APEC, and to the Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateral­ isation (CMIM) — a mechanism created in 2010 to help manage re­ gional nancial crisis.

Both India and Asean would re­ quire to chisel their existing policies to facilitate trade and in­ vestment and, more importantly, maintain a sustainable environ­ ment for peace in the region.

Given that the US is moving to­ wards protectionismwith the withdrawal from the Trans­Paci c Partnership, its in uence over Asean may see some relegation.

In this context, a benign and non­hegemonic engagement between India and Asean would yield sound economic results and would be a shot in arm as far as strategy is concerned. Should this happen, it may possibly be one of the most successful foreign policy initiatives of the Modi govern­ ment.

EBI has recently asked mutual funds to reduce their TER or Total Expense Ratio. It may oat a discussion paper on the subject.

SEBI believes that reducing the TER will ensure that mutual fund investors get a better deal.

What is it?

Mutual funds are professionally managed investment vehicles which help investors to grow their money by investing in nan­ cial assets such as equities, bonds, gold and other assets. Mutual fund companies charge a cost to their investors for managing their schemes. This cost is called the Total Expense Ratio.

Mutual funds typically incur two types of expenses. One, there are non­recurring expenses dur­

ing the launch of a fund, which in India, are usually borne by the fund house and not charged to in­ vestors. Two, there are recurring expenses such as the manage­ ment fee, distributors’ commis­ sion, registrar’s fee, trustee fee and marketing expenses. These expenses are total up to the TER, which is expressed as a percent­ age of assets managed.

In India, the maximum TER that a fund can charge its in­ vestors is prescribed by SEBI. Equity­oriented funds are al­ lowed to charge a TER of 2.5 per cent. The cap is set lower for debt and index funds at 2.25 per cent and 1.5 per cent, respectively. SEBI guidelines further set sub­limits for TER based on the size of the as­ sets managed. For equity schemes, fund houses can charge 2.5 per cent for the rst 100 crore, 2.25 per cent for 100 crore to 400 crore, 2 per cent on the next 400 crore to 700 crore and 1.75 per cent on any sums above 700 crore.

For debt schemes, the limits are 25 basis points lower in each slabs. An additional 30 basis points can be charged by the mu­

easy

tual fund if 30 per cent or more of their in ows are received from beyond the top 15 cities. Funds can also charge for the service tax on their management fee. Hence, an equity fund with a corpus up to 100 crore may end up char­ ging upto 3.3 per cent.

Why is it important?

While mutual funds in the de­ veloped world charge a variety of fees and costs to investors, in In­ dia, almost all the costs are packed into the single metric of TER (the only cost outside of it is the exit load). The fund manager’s fee and distributors’ commission are two of the main components in the expense ratio. Though the investor does not pay an out­of­ pocket commission to the distributor while invest­ ing in a mutual fund, the fund company pays it and charges it to investor as a part of the expense ratio.

SEBI has taken various meas­ ures to rationalise the expense ra­ tio of mutual funds. In 2012, it made it mandatory for mutual funds to launch ‘Direct’ options in all their schemes. Direct plans are meant for investors who deal

january 23, 1998

directly with the fund house and do not use the services of a dis­ tributor. As there are no commis­ sions to be paid under this route, the expense ratios of Direct plans are notably lower than those of Regular plans.

I-T Dept zeroing in on corporate dodgers

After ring its rst salvo on potential income­ tax assessees, the Revenue Department is now training its guns on corporates evading the tax net. Highly­placed sources said the Department has already compiled a list of ‘missing’ companies — those rms which are registered with the Registrar of Companies but have not been ling any tax returns. “On the lines of updating the database on potential I­T assesses, we are enriching our information bank on all corporates. The Department is obtaining details of economic transactions of cdmpanies, particularly those who have not been coming clean under the I­T provisions, from all concerned agencies.

Why should I care?

While paying a 50 or 100 basis points more to a fund manager may not seem like a big deal when most equity funds are churning out double digit returns, even a small increase in TER has a dispro­ portionate impact on what you ­ nally get from your fund.

Costs are not the only factor to consider while choosing funds.

The excess return generated by the fund manager over the long­ term is more important. But when choosing between two funds with similar performance, TER is critical. TER is also import­ ant in xed return categories such as debt funds.

UTI puts off schemes till after polls

The Unit Trust of India has postponed the launch of new schemes till the elections are over in order to take advantage of the upswing in the market expected after the elections and to avoid any logistics problems during elections. The schemes that, are planned to be launched after the elections are: UGS­10,000, a sector speci c scheme targeted at the banking and technology sector, an open ended debt fund, an infrastructure fund and a turnaround fund. The trust has a target of Rs. 12,000 crores for the current nancial year, which ends in June.

NTT rethinks RPG’s Basic Teleservices

RPG’s partner, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph has indicated that it would either scale back or completely withdraw its exposure in the company, which has a mandate to lay the rst basic private network in Tamil Nadu.

QUICKLY Bond yields, call rate rise Mumbai, January 22

Government bonds (G­Secs) rose following good demand from corporates and banks. The 7.17 per cent G­Sec maturing in 2028 rose to 99.33 from 99.13 previously, while its yield eased to 7.26 per cent from 7.29 per cent. The interbank call money rate ended higher due to renewed demand from borrowing banks amid tight liquidity in the banking system. It nished at 6 per cent from last Friday’s level of 5.90 per cent. It resumed higher at 6 per cent and moved in the 5.75­6.05 per cent range. PTI

Tom Jacob, Regional Head, Paytm, told newspersons that QR­based mobile payment is fast emerging as the default payment method for mer­ chants and the QR code is now enabling merchant part­ ners across the country to ac­ cept unlimited payments dir­ ectly into their bank accounts at zero per cent fee.

The company is aiming to enrol ve lakh merchants in Kerala this year, as over one lakh merchants across the State accept Paytm today, he

said. He pointed out that there has been a major boom for QR­based payment solu­ tions, especially after demon­ etisation of high­value cur­ rencies, and the trend is still continuing.

Currently, there are about 300 million registered users since the six years of launch and over six million mer­ chants. The company said small stores and home­based entrepreneurs transact the most using Paytm. Kerala is one of the top four markets in the country for largest merchant acceptability, he added.

The rate of adoption of QR­ based payment “will increase further as our merchants can now accepts payments from Paytm, UPI or cards at zero cost round the clock and throughout the year,” he added.

Asked about the revenue generation model, Jacob said the company is now focus­ sing on expanding its foot­ print across the country rather than generating revenue.

per cent to 4,732 crore ( 4,334 crore).

Other income (comprising fee, trading pro t and miscel­ laneous income) declined 24 per cent to 2,593 crore ( 3,400 crore).

The decline in other income is solely due to a sharp dip in trad­ ing income to 200 crore ( 1,525 crore in the year­ago period).

The other two components of other income — fee income was up 24 per cent to 2,246 crore and miscellaneous income jumped 110 per cent to 147 crore — showed a healthy growth.

Powered by robust growth in retail (29 per cent) and SME loans (27 per cent), overall advances in­ creased 11 per cent to 4,20,923 crore. Corporate credit grew 12 per cent.

Loan pick­up was visible across lending segments, said Jairam Sridharan, Group Execut­ ive and Chief Financial O cer.

He also attributed this to strong base e ect as loan growth was muted in the year­ago period (due to demonetisation). Going

Upgradations and recoveries in loan accounts were substan­ tially higher at 4,008 crore ( 1,048 crore in the preceding quarter). Due to this, the loan­ loss provision stood lower at 2,754 crore ( 3,576 crore in the year­ago quarter).

During the reporting quarter, the bank recovered substantial amount in cash from an IT/ITeS account and also upgraded one account in the steel sector.

On the bad loans front, Jairam said the conversation is shifting from non­performing assets (NPA) recognition to their resolution.

As at December­end 2017, gross non­performing assets (GNPAs) came o to 5.28 per cent of customer assets from 5.90 per cent as at September­end 2017.

GNPAs in absolute terms were lower at 25,000 crore against 27,402 crore as at December­ end 2016.

Total deposits were up 10 per cent y­o­y to 4,08,967 crore. The proportion of low­cost current account, savings account (CASA) deposits in total deposits im­ proved to 49 per cent as at December­end 2017 from 48 per cent as at December­end 2016.

Fresh slippages in the report­ ing quarter moderated to 4,428 crore against 8,936 crore in the preceding quarter.

Lower slippages and provisioning aid earnings But pressure on net interest margin continues Q3 COMMENT RADHIKA MERWIN BL Research Bureau

A substantial sequential fall in slippages, lower pro­ visioning and marginal im­ provement in core per­ formance aided Axis Bank’s earnings in the December quarter.

While the positive sur­ prise on the pro tability front is welcome, sustain­ ability of asset quality per­ formance, meaningful re­ covery in the bank’s core net interest income and pace of recoveries and up­ grades in NPAs in the com­ ing quarters, will be imper­ ative for the bank to draw investor interest.

Bottom of NPA cycle?

There have been several positive developments in the bank’s asset quality in

the December quarter. Not­ ably, slippages have halved to 4,428 crore in the December quarter, from the previous quarter.

Also, provision­coverage ratio has seen a signi cant improvement from 60 per cent in the previous quarter to 66 per cent in the December quarter (68 per cent on IBC accounts).

However, sustainability of these trends will be keenly watched.

Given the sharp bad loan divergences pertaining to FY17 reported in the September quarter, steep fall in slippages in the December quarter is not al­ together surprising. Also, at 4,428 crore, slippages are still at elevated levels, when compared to the June or even September quarters (sans divergences).

Also, while upgradation and recoveries have shot up from 1,048 crore in the September quarter to 4,008 crore in the Decem­ ber quarter, a major por­

While the bank has in­ dicated that the focus, go­ ing forward, will be on res­ olution rather than on recognition of bad loans, it needs to be seen how the pace of recoveries pans out. #4 4 6 6 0 1

Pressure on NIM In the December quarter of last year, loan­loss provi­ sions had grown ve­fold.

On such a high base, a relat­ ively lower provision in the

latest December quarter has led to a 25 per cent y­o­y growth in net pro t.

While the fall in bad­loan provisioning has aided earnings, a meaningful re­ covery in the bank’s core net interest income is still awaited.

Shift in loan portfolio to better­rated corporates and reset of loan rates (lower) pegged to MCLR (marginal cost of funds­ based lending rate) have impacted the bank’s net in­ terest margin (NIM).

Hence, despite a strong loan growth of 21 per cent y­o­y in the December quarter, the bank reported a sluggish 9 per cent growth in its net interest income.

Axis Bank recently raised its one­year MCLR by ve basis points to 8.3 per cent.

As liquidity in the banking system tightens, pricing power may return to banks, leading to a rise in lending rates. This can of­ fer some cushion to mar­ gins in the coming year.

Rupee hovers above a key support A break below 64 can lead to renewed weakness in the currency CURRENCY CALL GURUMURTHY K BL Research Bureau

It was a volatile week for the ru­ pee. The currency witnessed a sharp fall last Tuesday and touched a low of 64.11.

However, this sharp down­ move was short­lived as the ru­ pee managed to recoup most of the loss thereafter. It rose to a high of 63.63 on Friday and fell back again on Monday to test 64 before closing at 63.87, down 0.6 per cent for the week.

Deficit concerns India’s trade de cit widening to a three­year high was a major trig­ ger in dragging the rupee lower towards 64.11 initially last week.

The weak data also kept the cur­ rency under pressure all through the week by limiting the upside.

Data release from the Com­ merce Ministry showed that the country’s exports in December 2017 increased 12.36 per cent (year­on­year) and the imports surged 21.12 per cent over the same period.

A sharp rise in gold and crude oil imports pushed the trade de ­ cit to a three­year high of $14.88 billion. The de cit was $10.55 bil­ lion a year ago in December 2016 and was at $13.83 billion in November 2017.

Crude oil prices are expected to remain elevated and increases the possibility of the de cit widening in the coming months.

This could restrict the strength­ ening of the rupee from a long­

term perspective and keep the currency under pressure.

Dollar outlook Uncertainty on whether the US government will run into a shut­ down kept the dollar mixed all through last week. The dollar in­ dex was stuck in a narrow range between 90 and 91 over the last one week. The index had not re­ acted much on Monday after the government shutdown came into e ect from Saturday.

The immediate outlook for the index is unclear. A crucial sup­ port for the index is at 89.80.

Whether the index manages to reverse higher from there or not will be the key in deciding the next trend. A bounce from this support can ease the downside pressure and trigger a relief rally to 91 or even 92. But a strong break below 89.9 will increase the likelihood of the index tum­ bling to 88. Such a fall in the dol­ lar index may aid the rupee to strengthen further.

Rupee outlook As long as the rupee manages to sustain above 64, the short­term outlook will remain bullish. The currency will come under pres­ sure only on a strong break be­ low 64. Such a break can drag the rupee lower to 64.5 and 64.6 over the short term. Having said that, while the rupee remains above 64, it can move up to test the key resistance levels of 63.25 and 63.

Inability to break further above 63 can keep the rupee range­ bound, between 63 and 64, for some time.

But if the rupee manages to surpass the hurdle at 63, it can strengthen further to 62.8 and 62.7. As mentioned last week, this move towards 62.8 or 62.7 is pos­ sible only if the dollar index breaks below 89.8.

Clarity on MAT awaited for IBC cases ARCs also expect some relief on the GST charged on management fee

BUDGET EXPECTATIONS RADHIKA MERWIN BL Research Bureau

In a bid to provide tax relief to companies under the Insolv­ ency and Bankruptcy Code for resolution, the Income Tax De­ partment recently decided to relax norms for levy of Min­ imum Alternate Tax (MAT) from the current nancial year (2017­18).

This move is intended at ad­ dressing the industry­wide de­ mand for MAT exemption on notional pro t arising from debt waiver under IBC. The legislative amendment enabling these changes are likely to be brought in as part of the Finance Bill in the upcom­ ing Budget. Besides this, the in­ dustry is also awaiting more clarity and respite on the taxa­ tion front.

As per the circular issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), companies under

IBC will be allowed to set o losses brought forward, includ­ ing unabsorbed depreciation, from the book pro t for levy of MAT under Section 115JB of the IT Act. This is no doubt a relief from the earlier tax provisions where MAT is levied on book pro t after deducting the amount of loss brought for­ ward or unabsorbed depreci­ ation, whichever is less.

Siby Antony, Chairman, Edel­ weiss ARC, explains: “If there is a corporate borrower with a debt outstanding of, say, 45,000 crore. Let us say that a buyer bids for 25,000 crore. As per the earlier MAT provisions, the di erence (extinguishing of li­ ability) 20,000 crore would have been treated as notional pro t and the buyer would have to pay MAT on it. This would have depressed the value of bids.” Under the recent amendment by CBDT, if the

X W As recoveries happen, management fee is paid to ARCs. GST of 18 per cent on this fee, in effect, leads to leakage of recoveries to banks: Siby Antony, Chairman, Edelweiss ARC

company has carry forward losses to the tune of 20,000 crore, then this can be set o against the notional pro t, in e ect providing relief under MAT provisions.

But this does not satisfy the demand of the industry for full waiver of tax on such notional gain irrespective of brought

forward losses, says Siby Ant­ ony.

“In the above case, if the brought­forward losses are less than the 20,000 crore of no­ tional gain, then MAT will still be levied on the remaining por­ tion. We expect more clarity on this in the Budget. In BIFR (Board for Industrial and Finan­ cial Reconstruction) it was given total waiver.”

The ARC industry is also ex­ pecting some relief on the GST charged on the management fee. Currently, when an ARC ac­ quires an asset, it creates a trust to take on the asset. One trust can have a bulk of bad loans.

The trust issues security re­ ceipts to the selling banks as well as other investors.

“As recoveries happen, the management fee is paid to ARCs from the trust. GST of 18 per cent on this fee, in e ect, leads to leakage of recoveries to banks,” explains Antony.

GST levied on the manage­ ment fee has become a mean­ ingful amount. “At Edelweiss ARC, we may end up paying about 100­150 crore as GST for the current scal,” adds Antony.

Dewan Housing Finance net up 25% OUR BUREAU Mumbai, January 22

Driven by a robust growth in loan disbursements, Dewan Housing Finance Corporation (DHFL) reported a 25 per cent increase in third quarter net pro t at 306 crore against 245 crore in the year­ago period. The housing nance company’s net interest income increased 21.55 per cent year­ on­year (y­o­y) to 626 crore.

Net interest margin declined a tad to 3.03 per cent from 3.07 per cent in the year­ago quarter.

Loan disbursements jumped 54 per cent to 10,846 crore in the reporting quarter. Loan sanctions shot up 75 per cent to CM YK

16,552 crore. Assets under management (AUM) grew 29 per cent to 1,01,286 crore for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. Loan book outstanding grew 22 per cent to 83,962 crore.

DHFL’s product mix shows that in the reporting quarter the proportion of home loans in total loans came down to 63 per cent (from 69 per cent in the year­ago period); loan against property increased to 18 per cent (16 per cent); project loans were up at 15 per cent (12 per cent); and SME loans nudged up to 4 per cent (3 per cent).

Kapil Wadhawan, Chairman

and Managing Director, said: “The quarter has been truly sig­ ni cant and a milestone one for DHFL in taking asset under management over the 1 lakh crore mark. “The disbursement growth of 53.6 per cent amounting to 10,846 crore is yet another signi cant mark this quarter, which speaks of the momentum gained by the team to harness the growth po­ tential in the a ordable homes segment through close engage­ ment with customers and de­ velopers alike.”

DHFL’s shares closed at 629.95 apiece, up 2.90 per cent over the previous close on the BSE.

He said the BJP­led dispensation is scared that disquali cation of the 11 MLAs will reduce them to a minority government. In the 90­member House, the BJP has 49 MLAs, followed by the Congress (39), Independent (1) and BSP (1).

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA Raipur, January 22

The Opposition Congress in Chhattis­ garh on Monday demanded the dis­ quali cation of 11 MLAs of the ruling BJP for “holding” posts of parliament­ ary secretaries, a day after 20 Aam Aadmi Party legislators in Delhi were disquali ed in an “o ce of pro t” case.

“The action taken in Delhi has proved that the appointment of the BJP MLAs in Chhattisgarh to the posts of parliamentary secretaries is also un­ constitutional. Therefore, a similar ac­ tion should be taken by the Election Commission against these MLAs here for holding o ces of pro t,” Congress leader Mohammad Akbar told reporters.

He said he had led a petition in the Chhattisgarh High Court last year, seeking quashing of the appointment of the MLAs as parliamentary secretar­ ies. He had also written to the poll panel on the issue in 2016. “In re­ sponse to my letter, in November 2016, the ECI stated that it goes into the dis­ quali cation of sitting MLAs only if a reference is made to it by the Governor

of the State concerned.”

Akbar, a former minister, said he wrote to Governor Balramji Das Tan­ don after the EC’s response. “However, even after a year, the Governor did not refer the matter to the ECI for consid­ eration.” He alleged that the Governor was not discharging his Constitu­ tional duty.

‘HC order violated’ He also accused the Raman Singh gov­ ernment of violating the Chhattis­ garh High Court order by not withdrawing the facilities entitled to the parliamentary secretaries, who are on a par with State ministers.

The High Court, which is yet to pass any order on Akbar’s petition, had earlier directed the State government to withdraw the power of all parlia­ mentary secretaries. However, Akbar alleged that the government with­

But, after President Ram Nath Kovind accepted the recommenda­ tion of the Election Commission to disqualify 20 lawmakers of AAP, the pe­ titioner in Haryana’s o ce of pro t case has demanded disquali cation of four BJP MLAs who resigned after the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s order.

BJP, Opposition members of House panel differ on simultaneous elections OUR BUREAU New Delhi, January 22

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA New Delhi, January 22

The issues raised in pleas re­ lating to CBI judge BH Loya’s death were “serious”, the Su­ preme Court said on Monday, but it also castig­ ated a senior lawyer for bringing up BJP chief Amit Shah’s name in the case.

At the time of his death in 2014, Loya was hearing the Soharabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case.

The apex court, which said it would also took umbrage at senior advocate Indira Jaising, who during the hear­ ing, inferred a possible fu­ ture order that the apex court may gag the media in the case.

A Bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra was hear­ ing two PILs on Loya’s death.

Crucially, the bench trans­ ferred to itself two other pe­ titions pending at Nagpur and Mumbai benches of the Bombay High Court.

The Bench, also compris­ ing Justices AM Khanwilkar

of this and issued orders. If Delhi and Haryana are part of India then how come there are two separate laws?”

However, Khattar said the situation in Haryana and Delhi is di erent. “We already have a law in place, but the court said this is not correct so we have removed them.”

Four senior judges of the apex court had, at a press meet on January 12, questioned the manner in which sensitive cases were being allocated and the Loya case was one of them

and DY Chandrachud, re­ strained all high courts in the country from entertain­ ing any petition relating to the case.

Loya, who was hearing the sensitive Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, had allegedly died of cardiac arrest in Nagpur on Decem­ ber 1, 2014, when he had gone to attend a wedding.

The Bench asked the parties to catalogue all those documents relating to Loya’s death that have not been led so far, and submit them for its perusal on February 2, the next date of hearing. “We must look into all docu­

ments with utmost serious­ ness,” it said.

The Bench was irked when senior advocate Dushyant Dave, appearing for a Bom­ bay lawyers’ body which has led a PIL in the High Court there, mentioned the name of BJP president Amit Shah during the hearing, alleging that everything has been done to protect him (Shah).

“As of today, it is a natural death. Then, do not cast as­ persions,” the Bench said, while considering the strong opposition on the issue by senior advocate Harish Salve, the counsel for the Maha­ rashtra government.

Several amendments need to be e ected to the Consti­ tution to make simultan­ eous elections to Lok Sabha and State Assemblies pos­ sible, a senior o cial of the Legislative Department has told the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Griev­ ances, Law and Justice.

At a meeting of the panel here on Monday, the mem­ bers sought the views of Le­ gislative Department Sec­ retary G Narayana Raju on the issue of simultaneous elections, a matter that is close to the ruling BJP. Raju is learnt to have told the panel that many articles in the Constitution, includ­ ing Article 356 and Article 83, may have to be revisited to implement the pro­ posal. He reportedly said that till 1967, elections to States and the Centre were almost simultaneous. Raju told the members that while in certain cases the tenure of Houses may have to be curtailed, in some other cases, the tenure may have to be extended.

The BJP members in the panel said it simultaneous

elections will be in the country’s interest. They said the concept of “One Nation, One Election” could be implemented phase by phase. A BJP mem­ ber said the tenures of about ten States will have to be altered and a con­ sensus can make it possible.

Opposition members ar­ gued that such a move would not be feasible in the current situation. Thre is no national consensus on the matter, and it will be against federal principles.

Representatives of the Election Commission also briefed the panel on “elect­ oral reforms”.

Senior BJP leader Bhu­ pender Yadav is the Chair­ man of the panel.

In 2015, the panel, under Congress leader EM Sudar­ shana Natchiappan, had submitted a report on the matter, saying that while “holding simultaneous elections may not be feas­ ible in 2016, or even in a dec­ ade”, a solution to frequent elections would have to be found if “India is to com­ pete with other nations in [the] developmental agenda”. #4 4 6 6 0 1

For the first time in 25 years, the Left appears precariously perched ONTHEGROUND INTRIPURA PRATIM RANJAN BOSE Recently in Tripura, January 22

For Joydeb Goswami, 45, who sells a cheap meal of rice and sh at Ambassa on the sole National Highway in Tripura, life has sud­ denly become exciting. “Mone hochchhe poriborton hoye jabe (I think the government will change),” Goswami says.

Some 40 km from Ambassa, jhoom (shifting cultivation) farmer­couple Sagar Burman and Sitadevi sell coconuts on the roadside. They, too, anticipate change. The Burmans belong to the Tripuri, or Tipra, tribe, which once ruled the State and are now a Christian minority.

They will vote for the NC Debbarma­led Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT), which has allied with BJP. Re­ vived in 2009, this is the strongest force in the State after the ruling CPI(M), the IPTF has its base in the hill constituencies and has been demanding a sep­ arate tribal State of ‘Twipraland’.

While formal announcements are due, the IPFT has reportedly been o ered 10 of the 20 seats re­ served for Scheduled Tribes.

Charged atmosphere Goswami and Burman are no ex­ ceptions. From Sabroom in Tripura’s southern­most tip, to Dharmanagar on the northern corner, many believe the reign of the 25­year­old Left Front govern­ ment will end as the State votes on February 18. Some reserved comment but con rmed that the contest is evenly poised.

And only a few who spoke to BusinessLine from within earshot of the CPI(M)’s o ces, ex­ pect an easy win for the Left.

This is unprecedented for a State where the CPI(M)­led Left Front won 50 of 60 seats in the 2013 Assembly election, corner­ ing nearly 54 per cent of votes polled. Also unprecedented is the spate of political violence.

Clashes between BJP and CPI (M) activists has now become a routine a air. On January 18, the day elections were announced, at least seven persons were in­

jured in di erent parts of the State.

“I’ve never seen such a charged atmosphere for a long time,” said a small grocery shop owner at Baramura, approximately an hour’s drive from the capital city of Agartala.

Shift of the Congress vote There are many reasons behind the change, the most important of which is the near­complete shift of Congress votes — of ap­ proximately 40 per cent — to the BJP. The Congress ended 2013 with 10 seats and is now left with two.

This is largely due to defection, initially to the Trinamool Con­ gress, and eventually to BJP. But the shift of the vote bank was not driven by leaders. On the contrary, traditional Congress activists, like Kartik Singh (56) of Sabroom, who are now upbeat about the BJP’s win, accuse the State Congress leadership of working as a ‘B­Team’ of the rul­ ing CPI(M).

Singh, a commerce graduate, did not land a government job, practically the sole employment opportunity here, allegedly due to his a liation to the Congress.

None of the four children of Chit­ taranjan Saha (70) of Chakma Ghat got a job either.

Senior Congress leaders con­ de that the party’s common agenda with the CPI(M) at the Centre, and especially the Left­ Congress coalition in West Bengal in 2016, had a serious im­ pact on their image in Tripura.

They are now hoping to play a spoiler to the BJP’s prospects in 2018.

Jobs, a major issue But the shift of the Congress’ vote bank is not the CPI(M)’s biggest worry. In Chief Minister Manik Sarkar’s 20­year rule, Tripura wit­ nessed much development: ac­ cess to public utilities — electricity, roads, water — im­ proved. One rarely comes across a beggar in Tripura.

What is missing though are revenue generation and employ­ ment opportunities. O cially, nearly two­third of the 35 lakh population is in the BPL category, and NREGA and other Central as­

sistance schemes are a major in­ come generator. This is creating unrest among the youth, who may play deciding roles in this election.

To add to the trouble, the Su­ preme Court recently ordered the termination of over 10,000 teachers, recruited in violation of parameters set by the Right To Education Act, 2009. The BJP has tapped this vote­bank by propos­ ing a one­time concession by the Centre.

The party is also expected to gain the support of a signi cant section of State employees who are deprived of the bene ts of the last two pay commission re­ commendations. To recruit more employees at same wage bill, Tripura freezes the salary of entry­level group C­ and D­level sta for ve years at barely 500­ 7,000 a month, lower than the earnings of a driver.

Rainbow alliance Riding on the resentment against the Left, the BJP has tried to form a rainbow alliance. So far, they have been partly successful.

An alliance with the IPFT has been struck. According to party’s State in­charge, Sunil Deodhar, discussions are on with Bijoy Ku­ mar Hrangkhawl’s Indigenous Nationalist Party of Twipra (INPT), which wields signi cant in uence in at least three seats.

Sources said e orts are also on to rope in Rajeswar Debbarma’s IPFT (Twipraha) which controls the fate of at least one seat.

Will these parties be able to stitch together a coalition? Both the INPT and the IPFT (Twipraha) oppose the IPFT’s claim for separ­ ate State. Naturally, their inclu­ sion in the alliance will improve the prospect of the BJP­led coali­ tion in the Bengali dominated plains.

But, if the votes are divided, the Left will surely have a clear edge in the 20 tribal districts that they traditionally pocket.

BJP convinced IPFT to drop the demand for Statehood in the poll manifesto. They also expect the demand to die a natural death once Parliament clears a Bill for creating a State Council, repla­ cing the existing district coun­ cils that have limited freedom.

Shriram Mutual Fund has revised the classi cation of Shriram Equity and Debt Opportunities Fund according to new guidelines issued by SEBI, the fund house said in a newspaper notice. Effective February 23, the scheme will be categorised as an aggressive hybrid fund, as against its current category of open­ended equity­oriented fund. To bring uniformity, standardise scheme categories and enable ease of investment to investors, the regulator, on October 6, mandated fund houses to categorise all their existing and future schemes into ve broad categories and 36 sub­categories.

The new Budget date of February 1 seems to be lucky for Indian equity investors as benchmark in­ dices have given robust returns in the run up to the Budget for a second consecutive year. Till date this year, Nifty 50 has gained 4 per cent already and it’s just a matter of six more trading sessions be­ fore the Budget is announced on February 1.

In 2017, Nifty 50 had gained 6.6 per cent in the one month to the Budget day ­ the highest since cal­ endar year 2008.

“It seems that our markets are replicating last January’s perform­ ance as we can see addition of an­ other 4 per cent from December (2017) close,” Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst — Technical and De­

rivatives, Angel Broking, said.

Before 2017, Nifty had fallen in the range of 0.6­7.0 per cent one month ahead of the Budget day in eight out of eleven budgets (in­ cluding interim budget). In the re­ maining three, gains were 0.7­1.4 per cent. (The Union Budget used to be announced on February 28 or 29 (leap year) before 2017.)

2017 rally Indian equity markets hit new life­ time highs several times and gained 27­28 per cent in 2017 due to a combination of factors, such as fading e ects of demonetisa­ tion, pre­ and post­GST regime, ro­ bust in ows from mutual funds, falling crude prices and in ation (until last few months), stable gold prices, improving corporate nancial performance, rally in

While the Budget may not ne­ cessarily be highly populist due to scal constraints, a lot of focus is expected to be on areas such as rural economy, agriculture, infra­ structure, housing and reducing the burden of direct taxes on the common man, which will, in turn, help kick­start the economic growth. However, the govern­ ment will have to consider the downside risk factors, such as rising crude/commodity prices, spike in in ation, rm interest rates, continued high non­per­ forming assets and lower­than­ex­ pected revenues from GST before wooing the citizens for the Gen­ eral Elections in 2019.

December 2017 quarter results so far have also been encouraging across most sectors and especially from biggies, including RIL, ITC, Hindustan Unilever and Infosys according to experts. This has also helped maintain good sentiments and buying momentum.

auto/metal stocks, run­up in realty stocks post RERA, favourable out­ look towards IT sector recently and positive news ow in the banking sector (recapitalisation, FDI), among others.

The rally continues this year too due to optimism about a good Budget after the twin blows of de­ monetisation and GST in 2017 on the common man and the Indian economy, respectively.

On Monday, Nifty 50 closed at a new high of 10,966.20, up 4 per cent till date in 2018.

Risk factors “The market continued its up­ ward trajectory by supporting the premium valuation with better third quarter earnings. FIIs’ con­ tinued preference for domestic market on expectation of a good Budget lifted the market senti­ ment,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA New Delhi, January 22

Concerned over Singapore Stock Exchange’s plan to launch single future stocks of Nifty 50 compan­ ies, NSE chief Vikram Limaye on Monday said the move will shift li­ quidity out of Indian markets.

The NSE said it will consider all options to consolidate liquidity.

“There is a concern surround­ ing liquidity of the Indian markets being fragmented and moving o ­ shore,” Limaye said.

He said NSE is focussed on what is in the best interests of the In­ dian markets and in that context all options will be considered to consolidate liquidity.

The reaction comes after SGX announced its plan to launch trad­ ing in single­stock futures in Nifty 50 companies from next month.

NSE is believed to have asked SGX to delay the launch as the move might take away volumes from the domestic bourse.

Vikram Limaye, MD & CEO, NSE

SGX and NSE have a licensing agreement that allows futures and options based on the Nifty 50 in­ dex to trade in Singapore. How­ ever, existing products track in­ dices and sectors and not individual shares.

“We are in discussions with SEBI and government and have also sounded SGX of the concerns. We will evaluate all options and take appropriate decision,” Limaye said.

on the SEBI board and the idea is to avoid having another IAS o cer on the regulator’s board to main­ tain is ‘autonomy and independ­ ence,’ the source said. Yet, the ap­ pointment of the SEBI chairman is done with approval from the Prime Minister’s O ce and even the post of executive director can be lled by government o cers on deputation.

Kaushik had requested to the government that he be allowed to go to SEBI on deputation but that has been rejected, the source said.

When contacted, Kaushik said he was waiting a favourable out­ come of his application and de­ clined to comment further.

Chooses to become Principal Secretary of Kerala

IB Ventures gets nod for rights issue Indiabulls Ventures has received capital markets regulator SEBI’s approval to raise 2,000 crore by issuing equity shares to its existing shareholders on rights basis. The company had led draft papers with SEBI in September and obtained “observations” from the regulator on January 18, the latest update with the markets watchdog showed. Proceeds of the issue will be utilised to meet the company’s funding requirements and to support future growth of its consumer nance and asset reconstruction businesses through its subsidiary rms, according to the DRHP.

‘Single-stock futures launch at SGX will dent our liquidity’

Sanjeev Kaushik, the 1992 batch Kerala cadre IAS o cer, who was appointed a whole­time member (WTM) with capital markets regu­ lator SEBI has declined the o er.

Kaushik (48) has nearly 12 years of government service left but was asked to resign by the Central gov­ ernment to take up the job at SEBI, where he was appointed a WTM for a period of three years. Kaushik, currently on deputation with the Finance Ministry, has instead chosen to go back to Kerala to take up the post of Principal Secretary, a source told BusinessLine.

The government has made it mandatory for IAS o cers to resign from service if they were to take up the job of WTM with SEBI. A government representative from the Finance Ministry already sits

year job when he has more than 10 years or more of service left with the government.

KM Abraham, another Kerala cadre IAS o cer, was the last WTM who had come on government deputation to serve on the SEBI board till 2012. He is now the Cab­ inet Secretary to Kerala govern­ ment and Kaushik is likely to join under Abraham. Earlier, SEBI mainly attracted retired o cers to ll the post of WTM. When Rajeev Agarwal, the 1983 batch o cer joined SEBI as WTM, he had to resign from government service even though he had around seven years left before re­ tirement. Then, Agarwal was ap­ pointed for ve years.

Counter view There is a counter view to the gov­ ernment’s argument that a rule not allowing IAS o cers to go on deputation to SEBI may make it dif­ cult for the government to nd younger and specialised talent from the pool of o cers. No IAS of­ cer would like to take up a three­

Ajay Tyagi, the current SEBI chairman, was a 1984 batch IAS from o cer Himachal Pradesh. He too had to resign from adminis­ trative service after the govern­ ment noti ed his SEBI appoint­ ment last year. Initially, Tyagi was appointed for ve years but an­ other notice said the appointment had been cut short to three years.

But Tyagi is 58 years old and had only two years of government ser­ vice left.

The retirement age for SEBI board members is 65 years. In con­ trast, G Mahalingam, the newly­ap­ pointed WTM at SEBI, has been given a ve­year term. He came to SEBI from the RBI where he was ex­ ecutive director and a regional dir­ ector.

Hunt for two more WTMs With Kaushik declining the job, SEBI now has to hunt for two WTMs as the regulator recently created one more post for a WTM. The whole process of interview will be re­conducted, the source said.

Majesco (Buy) CMP: 560.1 Target: 667 Majesco Ltd’s stock rose by 3.9 per cent and 5.37 per cent on Friday and Monday respectively.

The company reported strong 2QFY18 results on the revenue front, which rose 8.8 per cent q­o­q in dollar terms, led by strong order book growth seen in 1QFY18 (over 20 per cent q­o­q); cloud revenue rose 28 per cent q­o­q, aided by the key IBM partnership.

Good revenue growth helped in 395 bps q­o­q rise in EBITDA margin.

Industry fundamentals and the key IBM partnership will enable Majesco to boost revenue growth going forward.

Cloud o ering — Potential ‘Trump Card’: 60­70 per cent of the deal pipeline in the past few months has been for cloud services.

Of the addressable market of $25 billion for Majesco, around $15­16 billion relates to the L&A market, while $9.25 billion relates to the US P&C market. We currently have a target price of 667 on the stock.

Stocks ended at record highs for the fourth session in a row on Monday on sustained foreign fund in ows and persistent buying by domestic investors in bluechips led by Reliance Industries, ONGC and TCS.

TCS rose 5.36 per cent to close at a new high of 3,113.15, followed by RIL at 4.5 per cent at 971.2. ONGC spurted by 3.28 per cent after it got the go­ahead to acquire the government’s entire 51.11 per cent stake in HPCL for 36,915 crore. Axis Bank rose 3.52 per cent as it posted 25 per cent growth in Q3 net.

Among the losers, Wipro dropped 2.33 per cent after it posted 8.4 per cent fall in net pro t in Q3. PTI

Drop pepper from import list of free trade pacts: Growers, trade plead with Centre

Crude oil hovers near $70/bbl even as Saudi, Russia vow to continue output cuts ®BLOOMBERG January 22

To protect the industry from cheaper, illegal imports from Sri Lanka, Vietnam Kochi, January 22

gin to Vietnamese imported pep­ per into India via Sri Lanka.

The Indian Pepper and Spice Traders, Farmers, Producers and Planters Consortium (IPSTPC) has urged the Commerce Minis­ ter, Suresh Prabhu, to remove black pepper from SAFTA (South Asian Free Trade Area) and ISFTA (Indo­Sri Lanka Free Trade Agree­ ment) import list in order to save domestic growers.

In a memorandum to the Min­ ister on Saturday, Kishor Shamji Kuruwa, IPSTPC Cochin Chapter Head, claimed that Sri Lankan pepper had lost its eligibility for any concession from India ever since its production rose to over 28,000 tonnes, and with Sri Lankan authorities allegedly is­ suing, wrongly, Certi cate of Ori­

Trade pacts, output He said the free trade in pepper was implemented in 2006 and 2003 when Sri Lankan produc­ tion was around 8,000­10,000 tonnes.

“Such phenomenal increase in recent years in its output gradu­ ally has resulted in Sri Lankan ex­ porters dumping their pepper in the Indian market under the shade of these two agreements in spite of the Indian government imposing an MIP,” he said.

It is surprising that still Sri Lankan pepper is being imported under SAFTA with 8 per cent im­ port duty which works to 40/kg.

Besides, they are still holding

duty free import licence under ISFTA. MIP yields no result The minimum import price or MIP of 500 a kg on CIF value works out to nearly $7,850/tonne against the prevailing prices of $4,700­4,900 CIF Indian port. The landed cost comes to 350 a kg including an import duty of 8 per cent. The di erence between the landed cost and the domestic price here is substantial, at 55 to 95 a kg, he said. If this situation continues, it will be at the cost of India’s pepper farmers, who are trying to market their 2018 new crop, he said.

Meanwhile, some Karnataka importers are understood to have shipped in Vietnam pepper at the Bangalore ICD and paid 54 per cent duty but allegedly on heavily under­invoiced consign­ ments. It is alleged that as against

ernment is immediately needed,” Sunil Tamgale, Chair­ man, Scienti c Agro Technolo­ gies (SAT), a division of Interna­ tional Agro­Consultancy, Bengaluru, told BusinessLine.

the original price of $4,550 a tonne, the invoice price was $3,550 depriving the country of duty of $540/tonne.

Slipping into the domestic markets part of the pepper im­ ported for value­addition and re­ export also adds to the pressure on domestic prices.

“The only solution to this is correct and thorough monitor­ ing. This will ensure that the spent pepper, which remains after extraction, does not slip into the local market. This is where a policy change by the gov­

Vietnam pepper Already in 2017, pepper exported “from and via Sri Lanka” hit 3,000 tonnes, including not only their own produce but also Vietnam pepper, which was issued the Cer­ ti cate of Origin, says the IPSTPC. Moreover, it is being widely al­ leged that Vietnam pepper — destined for Nepal, Myanmar and Bangladesh — is arriving into India through the borders.

The Centre had, in a bid to pro­ tect farmers, imposed 70 per cent import duty. For ASEAN coun­ tries (Vietnam) it was 54 per cent in 2017, but this year it is 52 per cent, according to the ASEAN agreement.

the industry as a means to further reduce domestic rubber prices.

Natural rubber growers are up in arms over the reported move to permit the tyre industry to import rubber cup lumps.

Cup lumps are oxidised rubber, mostly contaminated with dirt and other extraneous material, and their import has been prohibited as a phytosanitary measure by In­ dia.

The growers alleged that the present move has been mooted by

No quality standards Con rming the development, sources in the Rubber Board told BusinessLine that the Centre has constituted a committee to recom­ mend quality standards for rubber cup lumps.

The Board had earlier taken a view that import of cup lumps could not be permitted because there are no quality standards xed

by either domestic or international agencies. The Association of Plant­ ers of Kerala (APK) is also against the move saying that it would spell doom for the crisis­ridden rubber sector and urged the government to desist from any such initiatives.

The planters’ body pointed out that import of unprocessed raw materials is not encouraged any­ where in the world — particularly if the same item is produced within the country.

India is already importing 45 per

cent of its rubber requirement by way of processed TSR made from these cup lumps abroad and these is no reason for lumps to be impor­ ted in large quantities for pro­ cessing in the country.

Bacterial actions Raising apprehensions, PC Cyriac, former Chairman of the Rubber Board, said that rubber cup lumps are produced in unsanitary condi­ tions in countries like Thailand and Vietnam. The unsanitary condi­

tions have been the breeding ground for all sorts of bacteria. At a time when the industry is demand­ ing high quality rubber sheets, this import is unnecessary, he added.

He cited the destruction of whole plantations in Brazil, the home of rubber, due to spread of bacteria through a plantation dis­ ease, South American Leaf Blight.

“It will be ruinous if India imports cup lumps and other similar ma­ terials without any processing,” Cyriac said.

Brent crude oil declined even after Saudi Arabia and Russia pledged over the weekend to continue oil supply cuts. Futures in London slipped 0.2 per cent, erasing earlier gains.

“Output limits should remain through 2018 as re­balancing may be achieved next year,” Saudi Ara­ bia’s Energy Minister Khalid Al­Fa­ lih said in a Bloomberg television interview held with his Russian counterpart on Sunday.

Russia is prepared to co­operate with OPEC after the current curbs expire, Minister Alexander Novak said. Neither minister said whether the cuts would continue next year.

Benchmark Brent has eased after supply curbs by the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies to reduce a global glut earlier this month pushed prices above $70 a barrel for the rst time since December 2014.

Banks including Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase & Co predict the coalition may begin winding down cuts from the middle of the year, before a scheduled end in Decem­ ber, as the market re­balances.

There was no sign of such a move at this weekend’s meeting between OPEC members and some of their allies in Oman.

Brent for March settlement fell 14 cents to $68.47 a barrel at 1:01 pm on the London­based ICE Futures Europe exchange. It traded at a premium of $5.27 to March West Texas Intermediate.

WTI for February delivery, which expires Monday, slipped 6 cents to $63.31 a barrel on the New York Mer­ cantile Exchange, after falling 1.5 per cent last week.

Lower GST on drip irrigation gear, sprays to help farmers: ICRA OUR BUREAU New Delhi, January 22

The GST Council’s decision to cut tax rates on drip­irrigation sys­ tems and mechanical sprays will help farmers, rating agency ICRA said on Monday. But bene ts ac­ cruing to fertiliser industry from the reduction of tax on fertiliser­ grade phosphoric acid would only be marginal, it added.

The council, at its meeting on January 18, decided to reduce GST rates on drip­irrigation systems, mechanical sprays and phos­ phoric acid from the earlier 18 per cent to 12 per cent. The GST Coun­ cil has also cut the tax rate on bio­ pesticides from 18 per cent to 12 per cent.

“The reduction in the tax rates on drip­irrigation systems reiter­ ates the focus of the government to promote irrigation facilities for the farm sector. The decline in tax rate on bio­pesticides is in line with the Government’s intent to promote the use of these products through various gov­

ernment schemes and should en­ courage farmers to use these products as an alternative to the chemical pesticides,” said K Ravichandran senior vice­presid­ ent and group head, corporate ratings at ICRA, in the statement.

While the tax rate cut on phos­ phoric acid would help fertiliser industry in terms of lower input tax credits resulting in lower working capital blockage, delay in reimbursement of the input tax credits adds to the strain in the liquidity position of the industry that is already impacted by delay in receipt of subsidies from the government, ICRA said.

However, while the industry was expecting the tax rate on both ammonia and phosphoric acid to be reduced to 5 per cent to resolve the issue of inverted duty struc­ ture, no change in the tax rate on ammonia and 12 per cent tax rate on phosphoric acid will continue to result in large unused input tax credits for the industry and asso­ ciated liquidity issues, he said.

WEEKLY OUTLOOK

Immediate outlook unclear for MCX Aluminium GURUMURTHY K BL Research Bureau

The aluminium futures con­ tract on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) was volatile in the past week. The contract fell to a low of 139 per kg ini­ tially on Tuesday last week and then reversed sharply higher from there.

However, this upward re­ versal was short­lived as it faced strong resistance around 145 and halted after making a high of 144.9 on Friday. The contract has come­ o from this high and is cur­ rently trading at 143/kg.

Immediate outlook is not clear. Key support is at 140 and resistance is at 145. A breakout on either side of 140 or 145 will determine the next move.

Traders can stay out of the market until a clear trend emerges.

If the contract declines be­

low 140, it can come under renewed selling pressure. In such a scenario, a fall to test the crucial support level of 137 is possible. If the contract manages to reverse higher from 137, a relief rally to 140 or even higher levels is pos­ sible. In that case, a broad range­bound move between 137 and 146 can be seen.

But if the contract breaks below 137 decisively, it can tumble to 132 or 131 on the back of pro t booking.

On the other hand, if the contract manages to sustain above 140 in the coming days and breaks above 145 decisively, the downside pres­ sure can ease. The contract can then target the next key long­term trend resistance level of 148.

Note: The recommendations are based on technical analysis.

There is a risk of loss in trading.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Palm oil futures will test supports, rise GNANASEKAAR T

Malaysian palm oil futures ended higher on Monday with a more than 1 per cent gain. on Monday evening, rising on the back of bullish sentiment at an industry con­ ference held in Karachi this week. Prices are expected to trade at 2,500­2,700 ringgit ($635­686) a tonne due to fall­ ing production from March onwards, and as stock levels decline from now until July, said leading vegetable oils analyst Dorab Mistry on Saturday.

CPO active month April are yo­yoing with a bearish bias, but positive indications are emerging though it is uncer­ tain to con rm it just yet. A bounce from MYR 2,433 per tonne has revived bullish hopes. A retracement to 2,550 looks likely now with inter­ mediate resistance at 2,510­15 CM YK

. A close above here in good volumes can hint at further upside to 2,550 followed by 2,640­45 in the coming ses­ sions.

As illustrated earlier, des­ pite the corrective declines from time to time, the bigger picture bullish trend still re­ mains intact. Though, it looks like a head and shoulder has been con rmed, such a pat­ tern coming after a recent double bottom has more chances to fail, which is why we are still holding on to a medium­term bullish out­ look. Either prices could rst

dips to 2,420­25 followed by 2,360­70 and then retrace higher, or, a direct rise above 2,520 could see a retracement higher immediately.

The favoured view still ex­ pects while prices hold above supports in the broader pic­ ture, it could eventually inch higher.

Wave counts: A possible new impulse looks to have started again. One of our tar­ gets at 1,850 was met. The rally from there looks very impressive. We expected prices to push higher to­ wards 2,645 initially and then correct lower towards 2,425 or even lower to 2,225 , and then subsequently rise to­ wards a medium­ to long­ term target at 3,600 . But a short­term fall below 2,800 now has caused doubts on our overall bullish expecta­ tions. The present up move from 2,425 looks impulsive

with potential targets around 2,945­50 while 2,585 holds. The equality target for the present up move lies around 3,120­25 . But a fall be­ low 2,530 has changed the counts and we will review it in the next update.

RSI is in the neutral zone now indicating that it is neither overbought nor over­ sold. The averages in MACD are still below the zero line of the indicator hinting at a bearish to be intact. Only a crossover again above the zero line could hint at a bullish reversal again.

Therefore, look for palm oil futures to test the support levels and rise . Supports are at MYR 2,445, 2,420 and 2,370.

Resistances are at MYR 2,520, 2,555 and 2,645.

gnostics,” he added. There are ve labs under Neuberg — Anand Diagnostic Laboratory Services, Supratech Micro­ path, Ehrlich labs, Global Labs and Minerva Labs and around 450 crore has been invested in acquiring major shares and upgrading these labs.

Infrastructure models The company will have three infrastructure models —

Global centre of excellence, Regional reference centres and Satellite centres. There are three centres of excel­ lence: Anand Diagnostics in Bengaluru in the area of pro­ teomics and metabolomics; Supratech in genomics space and Global Labs from South Africa in virology and testing infectious diseases. “We are also creating an infrastruc­ ture to upgrade other labs.

Currently, there are 10 labs and 40 satellite centres for all the ve companies put to­ gether in the South and West India. “We want to increase it to 100 in the next two years,” he added. “The focus will be to expand in all States in the South and West India, Africa, West Asia and South Asia mar­ kets like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal,” Velu said.

“We are in talks with the major pharmaceutical com­

panies as well,” Velu said. “If we are talking about person­ alised medicine, all stake­ holders ­ pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and clinicians ­ should work together. This is another area we are working on,” he added.

“We also want to establish research centres in the US and European markets. Talks are on with some universities and small labs in the re­ gions,” Velu said. According to him, having a presence will give the company access to latest technologies and bring it to India.

But, there are challenges.

“Though there are start­ups working in this space, the market is still nascent. Unless you have your presence there, it will be di cult to bring them to India,” he added. The company will invest another 300 crore for the expansion plans in coming years.

“There wasn’t any agenda and it was not a structured meeting. The top industrial­ ists met the CM and he o ered to extend any help from the government re­

lated to industry. They were all pleased with his ap­ proach. We have also told the industry that we will be available to them to sort out any speci c issue,” Gnanadesikan told BusinessLine.

An industry representat­ ive pointed that the Chief Minister should meet in­ dustrialists from various sectors often for valuable feedback in order to main­ tain a friendly investment climate. “Such meetings are the need of the hour as neighbouring states are ag­ gressively trying to snatch new investments from Tamil Nadu,” he said on condition of anonymity.

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has said the government is working towards encouraging petrol, diesel and gas produc­ tion from biomass and called for encouraging bamboo cul­ tivation to boost farmers’ income.

He said since bamboo is now listed under the category of a grass and the forest depart­ ment’s permission is not re­ quired to grow and cut it for commercial purposes. Bio­eth­ anol could be produced from it.

“We need to encourage bam­ boo cultivation in this (Vid­ arbha) region in order to en­ sure nancial stability of farmers,” the minister said.

He was speaking at the in­ auguration of four lanes of the NH­930, stretching between Warora and Wani, and the rail overbridge at Pimpalkhuti vil­ lage here.

ised, having proper project development plans, capital procurement systems and adhering to the rules.

The Centre has recently announced massive spending on infrastructure, housebuilding and others.

What is your view on it?

The recent spending an­ nouncement by the Central government is very encour­ aging. But the announced spending has to be translated into realised projects within the timeline.

Post­ tender acceptance and project clear­ ance by the government, and land acquisition issues often hold up projects. We cannot avoid paying interest on the capital generated through bank loans during the dead­ lock period and it threatens our survival in certain cases.

The regulatory frame­ work will bring more order to the sector.

Operators who depended on capital from the market and the buyers only will no longer be able to operate that way. Only players who are or­ ganised and plan their pro­ jects and capitals in a profes­ sional manner can survive now. Being a small player or big player does not matter.

What measures has BAI taken to address it?

Construction industry ex­ pects to employ 80 million workers by 2020. The pro­ ductivity of Indian construc­ tion workers is very low cur­ rently. If we can enhance productivity, it will bring down project execution time

drastically. BAI, in association with the government as well as private bodies, has taken up training of construction workers. For the construc­ tion industry, we have formed Construction Skill Development Council of In­ dia (CSDCI), and Builders’ As­ sociation of India is one of the promoters. To train con­ struction workers, huge funds are needed. The gov­ ernment has collected more than 40,000 crore as on September 30, 2017, from the contractors towards ‘Labour Welfare Cess’, and a min­ imum of 20 per cent of this amount should be made available for skilling the con­ struction workers.

The minister said 1 trillion has been allotted for the water conservation projects in Maha­ rashtra, out of which 20,000 crore has already been re­ leased. “Nearly 12 projects will be undertaken in Yavatmal un­ der the scheme,” Gadkari said.

He said the government is also working on encouraging the production of liquid and gaseous fuels from biomass which would enhance help the farmers in the region.

“In Nagpur city, buses run on ethanol and e orts are on to generate second­generation ethanol from biomass and agri­waste,” he added.

He said the government is looking into the feasibility of introducing plastic LPG cylin­ ders to reduce their cost.

“We are examining its feasib­ ility with a view to reducing the LPG prices ranging from 200­250 per cylinder,” Gadkari added.

Visakhapatnam, January 22

The luxury car segment is set to recover and regain acceleration, after overcoming GST hassles, Jerome A Edward, CEO, Audi, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, said here on Monday.

He was here to launch second generation Audi Q5. He said the premium car segment had bounced back after facing prob­ lem for two months after the roll­ out of the GST regime.

He said the company willopen aservice centre at Vijayawada in a month to explore full potential of demand in the Amaravati capital region. “Now, we nd GST quite business­friendly. Everyone has fallen in line. The market is also picking up,” he said.

He said Andhra Pradesh ac­

counts for 20 per cent of Audi owners in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, which the company is con dent of raising to 30 per cent during the current year. Last year, Audi sold 160 plus cars in Andhra Pradesh and 400 plus in Telangana. So far, 3,500 Audi cars have been sold in all.

He said the company had set up a full­ edged showroom and service centre in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam. The second ser­ vice centre in Hyderabad will be opened shortly. On demonetisa­ tion, he said though they were hit initially, within a few months, the market had picked up. On new Audi Q5, he said the response to the ‘talk of the market’ model was very good. Two variants of the new model are available on­road at 64.63 lakh and 69.55 lakh.

pay back the debts as the ma­ jor part of their inventory went unsold. This has promp­ ted the banks to be more stringent in sanctioning loans.

What is the current scenario in construction and building industry?

Demonetisation has af­ fected the economy. It has hit liquidity adversely and im­ pacted real estate and con­ struction industry acutely.

Being primarily a non­organ­ ised sector, 70­80 per cent of the real estate transactions were in cash.

At the ground level, work­ ers are paid their wages in cash. GST ensured that we don’t have to pay multiple tax components amounting to 32 per cent. GST was later brought down from 28 per cent to 18 per cent, encour­ aging the industry.

RERA brought real estate developers under the ambit of certain regulations primarily to protect the in­

terest of buyers, implying a certain order and clarity into the sector.

However, at the imple­ mentation level, there are failures; RERA too has serious failures hampering the func­ tioning of the sector.

The Centre had given cer­ tain exibility to State gov­ ernments only to bring minor changes/deviations in the RERA Act, but some State governments attempted meddling with the Act.

Dassault Systems, the European multinational soft­ ware major, will set up a 3D Ex­ perience Centre in Andhra Pra­ desh. It will impart training to students and make them in­ dustry­ready in aerospace & defence, automotive and ship­ building areas.

MoU with APSSDC The France headquartered company and the Andhra Pra­ desh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) have signed a memorandum of un­ derstanding. A 3D Experience platform with built in in­ dustry solutions experience will be the latest facility. As per industry reports, the aerospace and defence in­ dustry in India is one of the fastest growing markets in the world with a signi cant push to indigenous manufacturing.

Promoting self­reliance, indi­ genisation and technology upgrades, achieving econom­ ies of scale and developing capabilities for exports re­ quire that the talent to be de­ veloped in­house at a rapid

pace to meet the demand. Sim­ ilarly, the automotive industry is growing and seeing changes like electric vehicles (EVs), shared mobility, emission and safety norms promising a po­ tential to create 65 million ad­ ditional jobs and contributing over 12 per cent to the country’s GDP. The 3D Experience Centre aims to meet these require­ ments for skilled manpower and facilitate employability to the youth in the state. It will en­ hance the employability skills of the engineering and poly­ technic students by making them industry­ready, says a press release.

What is the outlook for the construction and building industry?

The outlook for the construc­ tion sector is very positive with the government ready to mobilise $1 trillion invest­ ment plan over the next ve years.

About 80­100 per cent of this plan can be a reality if the core issues are addressed from the root level. We hope that that 2018 Budget will be re ective of the recommend­ ations made by us.

How IL&FS won the Zojila tunnel project bid

‘India’s richest 1% cornered 73% of wealth generated in 2017’ World’s poorest saw no rise in wealth, says Oxfam survey PRESS TRUST OF INDIA Davos, January 22

The richest 1 per cent in India cornered 73 per cent of the wealth generated in the country last year, a new sur­ vey showed on Monday, presenting a worrying pic­ ture of rising income inequality.

Besides, 67 crore Indians comprising the population’s poorest half saw their wealth rise by just 1 per cent, as per the survey released by the in­ ternational rights group Ox­ fam hours before the start of

The Oxfam survey shows a worrying picture of rising income inequality in India

the World Economic Forum meet in Davos.

The situation appears even more grim globally, where 82 per cent of the wealth gener­ ated last year worldwide went to the 1 per cent, while

3.7 billion people that ac­ count for the poorest half of population saw no increase in their wealth.

The annual Oxfam survey is keenly watched and dis­ cussed in detail at the WEF, where rising income and gender inequality is among the key talking points for the world leaders.

Last year’s survey had showed that India’s richest 1 per cent held a huge 58 per cent of the country’s total wealth — higher than the global gure of about 50 per cent.

This year’s survey also showed that the wealth of In­ dia’s richest 1 per cent in­ creased by over 20.9 lakh crore during 2017 — an amount equivalent to total

Co has local area expertise, and on-going projects helped it place the lowest bid MAMUNI DAS New Delhi, January 22

Local area specialisation in Jammu and Kashmir helped IL&FS bag the 4,899­crore Zojila pass tunnel project that will connect Srinagar, Kargil and Leh. The company bid was as low as almost half of the highest bidder, enabling it to emerge as lowest bidder in the tendering process con­ ducted by the Road Ministry, o cials told BusinessLine.

Union Budget in 2017­18, Ox­ fam India said.

More billionaires The report titled ‘Reward work, not wealth’, Oxfam said, reveals how the global economy enables wealthy elite to accumulate vast wealth even as hundreds of millions of people struggle to survive on poverty pay.

Iit will take 941 years for a minimum wage worker in rural India to earn what the top paid executive at a lead­ ing Indian garment rm earns in a year, the study found.

Oxfam India urged the In­ dian government to ensure that the country’s economy works for everyone and not just the fortunate few.

Experience in on­going pro­ jects in J&K — where the ter­ rain is di cult, climate harsh, and law and order situation volatile — helped IL&FS com­ mit to complete the project at a relatively low budget.

The low cost could be partly explained by the fact that the company is also implement­ ing the Z­morh tunnel pro­ ject, and has completed the Chenani­Nashri tunnel pro­ ject in the region. This means it has already mobilised man

and machinery in the region, which has a di cult topography.

For the Chenani­Nashri project, it was supported by Jammu­headquartered Beigh Construction Company, a rm with expertise in tunnel­ ling that has also implemen­ ted several road and rail pro­ jects like the Banihal rail link.

The steep altitude, extreme cold weather and law and or­ der problems make it di cult for contractors to work in the region.

Also, the area where the Zojila pass tunnel project has to be implemented sees a

drop in temperature to sub­ zero levels. It remains inac­ cessible for almost six months a year.

The project is mainly aimed at providing all­weather con­ nectivity to the strategically important Leh, which is oth­ erwise accessible only six months a year.

The pre­bid conference saw interest from 11 road de­ velopers, though only four placed bids. The bidders apart from IL&FS were JP Group, L&T and Reliance Infrastructure.

“The bids ranged from 4,899 crore to 8,900 crore,” an o ­ cial said.

5 things you may want to know about Davos AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE Davos, January 22

With the WEF kicking o in earnest on Tuesday, here is a guide to the week­long event in the Swiss Alps.

What is Davos?

Davos is shorthand for the World Economic Forum, which in its original guise was founded in 1971 by Ger­ man business professor Klaus Schwab as a way for European corporate leaders to learn from their US coun­ terparts. Political leaders star­ ted attending in the 1970s, and since then it has been morphed into an annual jam­ boree of the global elite.

Who’s coming?

Who isn’t coming, more like.

Among the 2,500 delegates and 70 world leaders, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be the rst of the week’s key­

Chill! Swiss police stand on the roof of the Kongress Hotel next to the Congress Center in Davos on Monday AP

note speakers on Tuesday.

Large contingents are com­ ing from Europe and Africa.

Celebrities Elton John,and Shah Rukh Khan are among the attendees. US President Donald Trump will close the meet with a speech on Friday.

Who’s not invited?

While some 4,000 Swiss sol­ diers and police will keep a

close eye on the Davos en­ virons, one group of young socialists intends to rally in the village itself when Trump arrives on Thursday, giving voice to nearly 17,000 people who have signed a petition declaring he is not welcome in Switzerland.

Beyond Davos, a bigger anti­Trump protest is expec­ ted in Zurich on Tuesday.

What’s on the agenda?

The theme this year is ‘Creat­ ing a shared future in a frac­ tured world.’ From breakfast seminars to midnight drinks, via lm screenings and morning sessions of medita­ tion and yoga, every day is packed.

While only one­ fth of at­ tendees are women, the or­ ganisers are keen to harness discussion about the #MeToo movement.

How to chill?

Chilling in a literal sense is not hard in Davos, where the snowfall has been even heav­ ier than usual this winter.

If you’re a delegate and want to hit the shops, you’ll probably be out of luck. Many retail outlets and even a church are handing over their premises — for hefty rents — to corporate clients to use as their base for the week. #4 4 6 6 0 1

Asked how much of the co ee served in the stores are sourced from India, Ghosh said: “Roughly, Espresso ac­ counts for over 60 per cent of our beverages.

“Every Americano, Latte, Cappuccino and all of our Frappuccinos are based on the Espresso beverage, which is made from Indian co ee beans sourced from Tata Co ee plantations in Co­ org. We also import an Italian blend, and two single­ origin blends from Kenya and Sumatra, which we serve in our stores.”

“We are growing fast and will beat the number of new stores opened in FY18 next scal,” Sumitro Ghosh, CEO, Tata Starbucks Pvt Ltd, told BusinessLine.

Pointing out that India has seen the fastest rollout of stores in the history of in­ ternational markets (out­ side of the US), he said: “We get compared to the China market a lot, which has over 3,000 Starbucks stores and is growing at 500 stores a year.

Tata Nullore Estate’s co ee became the rst Indian cof­ fee to be roasted and sold at the company’s home city of Seattle in 2016, which was later rolled out across other Starbucks stores in the US. A second Indian estate spe­ ci c co ee has been selected to be sold in the US, and will soon be announced, said Ghosh.

A team of chefs from the Taj Group is preparing a lavish spread at the WEF in Davos.

Mainly consisting of Indian cuisine, the spread prepared by these chefs will be served at three di erent venues.

Raghu Deora, the logistical head for the entire mission, said: “I have been told that he (PM Narendra Modi) likes any­ thing and everything veget­ arian. It will be like ghar ka swad Davos mein.”

He added that it is quite di ­ cult to prepare Indian dishes here, as the spices are quite dif­

ferent. “We are a team of 32 chefs and managers catering to ‘India Adda’, ‘AP Lounge’ and ‘In­ dia Reception’ for about 12,000 people. PM Modi will be having our food at three di erent ven­ ues. There is a much bigger In­ dia presence in Davos,” he ad­ ded. “Almost 1,000 kg of spices have been brought from India — some hand­carried, some couriered.”

Deora, along with Nitin Ma­ thur, the executive chef at Taj Krishna, Hyderabad and Neville Pimento, resident manager at Taj Lands End, Mumbai, will be leading the team of chefs at dif­ ferent venues.
